The First Day of Work
Slept at 3 and woke at 6.30 automatically.
Alarm was set to ring at 6.45.
We were all packed off to Fort Canning where they drowned us in speeches.
Yes, one speech per hour with tea breaks in between.
6courses Chinese lunch.
no, clara, i have no appetite even though theres sharksfin and grouper. (The skirt was too tight. I couldnt breathe)
no, clara, the guy-girl ratio is 1:3.5. And all the guys are ugly. Neither am I interested in foreigners.
At the table we were randomly assigned: foreigners outnumbered the locals.
Current affairs were the hot topic at the table. I tried to look interested but i think i ended up looking blank.
Wenli and I ended talking about diets and wallets(alone).
At 4pm,
Wenli: I cant breathe le. skirt is obstructing my tummy Liu: I also cannot breathe. how huh? go toilet also no use leAnd we struggled to cover our tummies with our bags throughout the 8 hours worth of speeches.
Oh did I mention that we were each given this trolley luggage thingy lookalike? We thought it was a laptop bag with our laptops in it coz it looks like a laptop bag on wheels.
Nope! its a luggage thingy for files and docs.
Wenli: So ugly, how to bring it home?Liu: Leave it in the function room la, we are coming back tmr. Can chop our seats somemoreAfter reading the handbook,
Liu: Ummm i think we better bring it home. Have to return it when we quit, if not need to pay $60.=(I thought graduation spells the end of workshops, elearning and presentation workshops.
I din know we have to complete endless workshops, and presentation tests in front of a group of 90 strangers.
:S
Oh, and have to check emails daily. Thats when they will drop the bomb on you for the workshop.
This really make NTU feels like a breeze.
I miss NTU.
Ohya, got bbq dinner till late tmr. With 60 partners and managers somemore, i think im losing my appetite. Work really helps to maintain one's figure
p.s. people actually take notes during the speeches. wth. i think wenli and i are blacklisted for chitchatting during the speech esp with the table of partners and managers next to us.
