With today, it concludes my first week working at TOC. It was basically quite different from what I have been imagining and expecting before I started on this job.
I'll recount all the happenings for this week according to day.
st Day:Filled up about 6 forms, tried on different sizes of formal shirt and the black shirt.
Yes, we are all provided with uniforms. Monday we are to wear the formal shirt, then Tues-Thurs is the black shirt, whereas Friday we can wear any other office attire and Saturday we can wear more casual such as jeans.
Then I was told that every Friday there will be a staff meeting, and new staff is required to sing a song. He even said this is to bully us. :(
After I was showned to my desk, my heart leaped delightedly as I saw a PC on my desk!! YAY!!
A short while after I have settled down, immediately I was asked to write an article for The Star with the deadline on Wednesday. So off I go writing the article.That's all for day one.
nd day:Hmm.. Now I can't remember what exactly happened on the second day, I have fragments of memories of my boss giving me some briefing on the automotive industry, what is my job scope bla bla bla. And then I was assigned another article, this time in chinese as it is for Sin Chew, where the deadline is Friday.
Oh this is the day where I started to have lunch with not only my supervisor, but another 2 colleagues who were really fun.
I think that's all.
rd day:This is the most important day, coz a few important things happened! Firstly, I sit in for a few meeting, one of which is about the upcoming graduation, where out of nowhere I was selected to go for a recce and food tasting at the hotel where the graduation will be held. Haha.. Lucky!
But that's not the best thing for the day, the best thing was after the graduation meeting, i went back to my desk and saw some guests at my boss' office (P.S: FYI, my boss' office is directly behind me, separated by a glass wall only, which means he can see my every move clearly).
I did not pay much attention to the guests, as he always has alot of guests. At that moment, my supervisor told me to sit in for the meeting with Alex Yoong as TOC is sponsoring his team for the race. Then only I realized that the guy behind me was HIM!! OMG OMG OMG..
As he stood to greet me, I was really shocked at how good he look but of coz I still behave professionally la.. (if you wanna read more of my encounter with Alex Yoong, read the previous post)
This is the day I met more of the people working at my floor. Quite a balanced mix of gender here, and as my floor consists of the admission and the marketing team, thus we have a very dynamic personalities here, and everyone is really friendly and funny.
th Day:Nothing much for today, the usual of attending meetings, continue with my write up, briefing session from boss.
Supposedly there was a highlight of the day, and it was dinner with Alex Yoong, my boss and others. I was so looking forward to it, but then boss told us the dinner is cancelled as Alex is not free or something like that. Sigh, I feel so sad, coz I had to cancel the dinner with my besties becoz of this dinner, and then this dinner tak jadi pulak. sigh..
th Day:
Which is today! I had a mixed of emotions about today, one part of me was looking forward to it as after this it would be the weekend, and bcoz wesak day is on Saturday, I dun have to work! Hurray!!
But then I know I have to sing at the staff meeting, so I was kind of praying that there won't be any staff meeting. Well, it wasn't as scary as I thought.
Their staff meeting was conducted in a very relaxed manner, I was the ONLY ONE who brought my organizer, notepad and pen with me, the rest were in a very relaxed state and all were kidding. I was kinda nervous and shaking due to the cold temperature, and I did not know where am I supposed to sit as no one said anything to me.
Eventually I asked someone, and quite a few smiled at me and asked whether I'm ready to sing and what song I would be singing. Made me more nervous only >_<
It was a really short meeting, no one has anything to report, so it came to the introduction of new staff and the sing song part. Me and another guy were the new staff, so after a brief introduction of ourselves, we were asked to either sing a duet or do it individually. The guy straight away said, "of coz ladies first." swt lo..
After the William Hung's speech of how I am not a professional singer and all, I started my verse of Colours of The Wind, the song from Pocahontas. As soon as I sang the first line, the originally noisy crowd stopped all the chattering and laughing, and i can sense some amazement in some of their expressions *beam* so perasan of me wakakaka..
Nothing much happened after that, finished edited my Chinese write-up and am now playing with time by pretending to be busy haha..
It's been quite a good week I supposed.. But now I just wanna relax for the weekend, and I have something to look forward to :)
