HEY!
This my first ever post. I'm so fucking excited. Oops! I started my own so that I can publish my thoughts & share with you. I can't come with any topic yet. But let's talk about me. YUP, me.
I'm currently waiting for my GCE 'O' Level results which will be out in February 2007. But I'm working for the moment just to kill the time. And maybe, I'm just bored staying at home, doing nothing. By working, I will learn new skills & I will become more independent.
I still could vividly remember my first working experience. It was quite funny when I think about it again.
Here how the story goes:
On 22 November 2006, at around 11:45, I was reading the newspaper to find a job attentively. I scanned through the page. Gosh! I was excited when I found a job which offer a high pay - Weekdays $58, Saturdays $68 & Sundays $90. I quickly grabbed my Nokia 3230 and called my friend, Fad & Man. Fad was not really excited but agreed to go for the job interview at Ang Mo kio's Mass Rapid Transit(MRT) Station. I guessed he was thinking about his grandmother who was in the hospital.
We filled in the forms but I wondered why Fad's form has a small cross on it. There was no shit of interview. We went back to our home.
My phone rang that evening, it was the call that I was waiting for. I was so delighted that I was told that I got the job. I was told to come start work, the next day. But, unfortunately Fad didn't get the job. So, Man & I went to Yio Chu Kang MRT sation to wait for the John, the agent. We would be working for Motorola as packers. I thought it was going to be fun.
We were given a punch card. I found a few friends & they were also waiting for their results. We were brought to Techpoint, where Motorola done their packaging. The place was so busy. I can hardly saw anyone slacking or talking. They were fucking concentrate on their work. The place was so alien to me.
The place was divided into different Lines. I was sent to Line 4. They was kind lady who taught me how to pack the handphones. They don't call phones, handphones but transceiver. Weird but it's the fact.
Things went out well but my legs started aching in the afternoon, just before lunch. I didn't know where did Man go. Maybe, he was sent to the different line. The group leader kept shouting, "Faster, faster!" We have to be fast to meet the target set. It was quite stressful for me. I think school was much better than this. Hahaha~
I went back with Man & kept complaining that I was tired. Man was a strong guy, he didn't complained much. I thought of quitting but Man told me not to do so because we will not get any pay. We planned to work for 2 weeks or until I've achieved my target salary, $1500. Th life in the factory was so boring. It was the same every second. Nothing changed. I was doing the same thing for the 3 days.
Man and I planned to rest on Sunday. But, things were different on Monday. There was no one there, only a few of my friends. I became panic. One of friends called John. John told us that there was no product and nothing to pack. Duh! I went back home in worry. I'm afraid that I might lose the job.
And yes, suddenly, I promised myself not to work at a factory anymore. That was not my kind of job. I wouldn't want to work at a factory anymore.I think this was how my Mum worked before. I pitied her. She must have gone through alot, the stress of work & family. My days were bored after that. Nothing to do. Hahaha~
But, my cousin, Kak Ling asked me to try other jobs. She recommended me to try promoter. I was introduced to Fion. I called Fion and I got the job. It was so fast. There was no form to fill or interview to go through.
To be continued...
I think that's for now. I need to rest & sleep. Hahaha~ I will write about my work experience as a promoter another time. And I want to let you know that it was fun. I enjoyed it.
