good friday
revision status: almost 0%.
oh dear, i'm left with 3 days before the 1st paper!
wanted to be a good girl last 2 days but my mom told me her friends' daughter's company at Jurong Island has a temp job vacancy. when i asked what job it was, blur mom just told me "i duno, just something to do with the computer. they're paying 1.2k." of course i thought 1.2k was little, but i still called to enquire, thinking i can skip the hassle of looking for a job after the exams.
the lady did not tell me the exact designation of the job, but from her vague task descriptions (issuing of POs, taking orders, preparing documents), i can safely say it's an admin job. then after finding out that i had some experience in the past, she asked if i could make a trip to the office the next day (which was yesterday) so that she could handover her job to me. there was little time for me to decide so i just agreed. I felt 1.2k (transport and meals provided) was not alot but enough to tide me over the 3 months while waiting to go into SIM. moreover, Jurong island, being so ulu, has no shopping centres, thereby eliminating the chances of me spending during lunch breaks.
So there i was, at jurong island yesterday, quite excited (lol) as it's my 1st time there. I'm working on an entirely reclaimed island! Also, it's a restricted place to anyone unless you're working there. The whole place looks like a typical rural part of Malaysia, with no buildings around, mainly grassland minus the cattles.
My office is on the 2nd storey of a "3-storey structure" (i duno what to call it! it's like a building built out of containers) near the sea. if you're lucky, you'll be able to view the sea from your seat. unfortunately, the view in front of my cubicle is a piece of grassland, looking somewhat deserted. lol.
after i was introduced to all the colleagues there (not many, only 6), my colleague (the lady whom i'm suppose to replace, let's call her MH) started by calling her HR dept in Pandan road. This office here at Jurong Island is merely a temporary site as they're in charge of a project here. She told the HR that i had experience (before i even started on the job lol) so i was offered 1.4k instead. haha. my highest paying job ever, although 1.4k is still considered low for a future-diploma holder. lol. =x well, humans are nv satisfied. =p Then the "training session" started, quite stressful as it's quite different from my previous jobs and there're so many things to be learnt! The tasks are not difficult, but having to know everything by 1 day is seriously, TOUGH!
when i was on the van going home talking to another colleague, she told me the previous girl who came to replace MH (she frequently takes long unpaid leaves, but i don't know why) had 1 week to learn everything from MH. *Jaws drop* 1 week! i have only a day! Moreover, i'll only be starting work a week later due to exams, I might have forgotten what I have learnt already?! Just hope nothing goes wrong then. *Prays*
Alright, revision time! sorry for the long post. :D
