Got deeper acknowledgement..

Already past few days since i've started work, spent time looking through the documents and other company's previous order, boy my boss did have potential to grab all the big clients, he's not just as a simple man who's partly own the company rather he would done things all by himself without any back supports. Try to figure out this way, this ain't big company, every companies in this group runs under one roof, which means individually the bosses handle their cases maybe at least 2 persons whose doing it. When i went through the POP3 mails left on Microsoft Outlook, all the mails sent randomly from clients to company staffs seems well organised, example if ever one staff taking leave, well responsible to note everyone by mail, just to make sure who they'll refer when he/she is not around. Also the staffs and clients do send chained mails about donations, greetings, notice of events, etc. The staffs and bosses don't verbally or on notice board spreading news of company trips and notices but by mails, so what i think was it's kinda like a principle, whichever it made a full use of IT. I don't know any other companies would do that, but this is a good first time experience for me, have my own pc, desk and internet connection! (my favourite resource to keep in touch with friends)

Well, Tuesday's like a LRT trip with boss to Sogo and Bukit Bintang. Never i heard or seen a boss would think off traffic jams in KL but drive there, tagging along with the jams, also found themselves essential to drive there, rather taking public transports. I guess Kenny knew he might have to make things simplify and effectiveness, just when i heard he wanted to use LRT, i was suprised. Thus we reached our destination not even half an hour, punctual before our clients reached there. On every journey, Kenny and i talked about personal issues, like he did asked again about my issues, while he initially talked his sons, about more that i'm eased being with him. He's much humble, that's what i like about him, really he do bother how i feel when he asked something.

Wednesday was the fucked up day, bored to death, all day download necessary programs to my pc, while chatting with friends, and while browsing through the documents. I supposed to wait for the graphic's owner's daughter come to deliver away some goods, by golly she came and swept my feet off, thin with a cute face, nice straight hair cut with cute voice, i'm kinda stuttered a lot and from her face i could tell she knew i was nervous.. Hey, she's pretty, i'm nervous on every pretties, and her boyfriend sent her to get the stuffs, so no point to say that i'm interested in her, i only knew i'm so attached to my darling girl, the best of the best.. Sorry darling, i can't control my nervous on pretties, born naturally. Yeah, puasa started, no wonder there's less staffs in the office, yet the aircond's my worst enemy.. Brrr!

Thursday.. Again my boss came in late, don't know where he went, cuz i felt like a stupid stucked in the office got nothing to do, other bosses unintentionally spotted me on my desk surfing and reading documents, not comfortable anyway. Thought of calling my boss but i think he's onto something, may disturb him so.. Damn, found one of our clients was KRU.. And last year Kenny proposed them doing company profile and events stationary. Name cards, all the people working there Malays or some mix races, not a Chinese. Lots of department, Graphics, Films, Musics, all in one medias and still accepting our quotations, till it stops somewhere last year. Then Ms Liew asked me fetch her to Pudu police station. Along the way i chatted a lot with her, she's fine and i got some weird feelings about her.. She's partly childish, a little carried away about her stories, got too much energized at her issues, talked too aloud, freaked me a shit. Also she's nerdy, the conversation excited her, i felt that way. Perhaps the office people have their weird characters, not as i controlled myself no matter what.

She almost told me everything about the staffs and bosses, then i came to know how i was recruited.. Wanna hear it?

I told you guys before that i was employed just as my pay was low and i'm good at my last words on 2nd interview. What i'm right was the last words, not the salary. Mr Chia, president of company, did said my age now too late to start a new carrier, i can remember that cuz it went through my mind, a good strike, i might hate him of what he said. And yes, he's way too particular about someone's age, rather qualifications and experiences. He has his points, encouraging people to have a life achievement on their jobs, preferably if they started earlier than my age. A lot came for the interview, good scores and qualifications, experienced applicants, all i can say is i'm not a dime for a chance to get employed. And because of Mr Chia's expectation, he chose me, believing what i've said and presented myself well during both interviews. Heard those applicants can't even talk and present well. For me, it's no big deal talking and answering questions cuz it's just a simple way to talk to anyone without exposing mistakes, make them feel you're humble and honest, keep it low. Only this way convincing enough. So end of it, i was given chance to take on the job based on my communication skills, thank god.

I knew what it'll be if i'm brave enough to show impossibility becoming a fact, that i can choose my path without thinking my incapabilities on this job. Never try, never know. So i need to fall down often, and get up often to remind myself don't hold back from boundaries, when i crossed over it, i could find a peace of mind or another greater fall, until i'm patience enough to get what i want in life.. success with respect.. Ok la, if i got rich then good la, start a pub, call every friends i knew and we'll gonna down the beers all night long.. I must be dreaming.. Visions, andy, visions.. Focus!

New job.. 1st Day of Work

I can't believe that i need to get up 6.30am again, although it's near, but i had to consider about the traffic in the morning, can't bare myself woke up late and get things disorganised.

I never know that i reached my office 7.20am, about 20 minutes drive. Yesterday i went to my girl's relative's house in Sierramas, big house, 4 person accommodation.. Em, my girl's aunt bought a lot of bread, so she gave a few and i asked my girl to reserve one for my breakfast.. So i ate bread and a cup of teh tarik. Heard cigarettes prices raised, everyone's terrified. No wonder i saw cy smoking Pall Mall lights.. Cheap ma.. And i did bought Winston 10's, rm3.10.. Not rm2.80 meh?

So it was 8am, everyone's getting in the office. Can't see where's Miss Liew, just as i thought of her, she arrived, and gave me a short tour and introduction to all the staffs, too bad getting knowing their names in harsh but i'll forget who's who in names later on. Coop with it later then.

No water unless it's hot, meant for making hot beverages, got to get my own supplies. Asked about door access card, she'll do for me later then.

I was seated on a desk of my own, with personal pc with internet connection (wow, can i get to msn or yahoo during free and boring time), drawers with some stationaries and dustbin. Only the place was just the nearest to the entrance, i'm like a receptionist, the door access button was at my desk, i'm in a position to open the door for anyone to come in or out~ Found some old name cards from the previous staff, same post as mine. Kavin.. Where he got such name? Anyway, he looks like around my age, instinct..

Kenny Leong, my superior, arrived and greeted me. Before that, Ms Liew gave some documents of the clients and work progress for me to browse through, get to know how's things work as for my position. So Kenny saw me with the docs, so he said nothing but get along with his paper work.

Then Ms Liew came passed me the door access card, told me she'll do a company email address for me, also name cards. For only i came in the first day, everything that without i request, were in proper order, i'm fully impressed, showed that the company is consistent on any issue to make sure it's proper.

Soon, Kenny asked me to follow him to meet the suppliers. What do you know, he's driving Camry, Ms Liew told me he's one of the bosses.. Actually he doesn't look like a boss, the way he work on papers like any other small position staffs.. Saw the stickers on the windscreen, resident of Tropicana, golf club member and some not recognised. He worked to be rich, so i might wrongly judge him from his attitude.. He talked soft, humble, really bothered about if i could drink or not, cuz i might had to entertain clients. Also if i bother about talking vulgar languages. I said it's normal to KL people, when it's about business, most of the languages was in vulgar, quite entertaining and funny, no doubt, that's how the world works, twisted. He's agreed with me, so he went on with his phone calls vulgaring the suppliers, and yet his vulgars were softcores.. Haha.. I'm a hustler, i'm a i'm a hustler, homey!

Met carpenter, in 6th mile of Cheras, so near to my place. Then met graphicals, opposite Bandar Tun Razak, that i don't remember how to go there again, entrance and exit were different routes.

Went back office, Kenny taught me some of his designs of work principle to have things went organised in time, then i continued my browsing. Then some good food smells flourished the whole office. Until Kenny called me to join for party, huh? Party? Got up overlook from the partition, saw KFC and Pizza Hut meals.. Mmm.. Yum yum.. Munch.. Burp.. Ate 2 pieces of chicken and a bottle of Gatorade, orange flavour, then i'm full. Then a speech made out from a staff also around my age, about he's glad to work here la, bla bla bla.. Then Mr Chia, Vice President gave a speech saying that staff resigning for furthering his studies.. Crap, really just as same as my girl pursueing? It seemed to have staffs leaving for good, and i'm in to be new pork chop newbie. Ok ok, cut away those negatives..

After lunch time till evening, i'm still browsing the files. Ms Liew made some temporary name cards and email address for me, asked me to make my own profile on pc so the pc can connect to the printers. Also she sent an testing email to me to confirm. By then, i need to configure the preferences on Microsoft Outlook that i never thought i'll be using POP3 mail accounts since i have Gmail POP3 account set in my phone, for the reason that I DON'T HAVE MY OWN PC..

In between after lunch and evening, i did chat with cy, he was invited for dinner.. Pooi San.. Oh well, he went emo again. Just don't know how he'll decide and coop up his feelings, as it already a year passed.. I can't blame him much, i might be the same if i were in his shoes.. Of course not until 1 year la.. Look how i went through with Rin and Fatrisha.. Nevermind, i didn't mention about them in this blog before..
Andrik and my sis on msn too, we did chat but had to work, cut down the urge..

Finished work at 5.30pm, jam along Kesas, reached before 6.30pm. My girl called and was excited about my first day.. Oh, she's so sweet, care about everything of me.. She told me she didn't work for today, she got nose block again, after caught a light flu yesterday. She had a last minute notice of course time reallocation, she was in rush to go for her class, for the time being she thought of me, she called..

Took bath, watched tv programmes.. ZzZzZz.. 10.30pm woke up again, can't sleep back, stomach growling, went supper, never did dinner..

Till 1 am, can't fell asleep, stomach growling like tornado wave inside.. I think i'm having a sickness, it's been like that since last Thursday, can't really fart and shit.. What's going on with me?
