Finally, I joined the corporate world. I am an office girl now. I have reported for work 3 days already. How do I feel? What's the feeling of a working adult?
Let's start with the life staying in a hostel with another 6 housemates comprised of 3 girls and 3 guys. Well, the feeling of a family doesn't exist in this "family". It's totally different from my internship days. All housemates create a warmed family. Now, everyone treat one another like invisible man. Among 7 of us, 4 are working adults, 2 are interns, and 1 student. The age range is from 18 to 27. All of us go out early in the morning and only come back at night. They don't even say hi and bye. Why is that so? OK lo....I tried my best to chat with them. I tried hard to find a topic to start for our conversation. Until now, there's still one girl I never talk with. In fact, I really don't like the feeling of being isolated in own world.
Well, let's move on with my working life. Everyday, I have to wake up at 630am. I take LRT to my office at 815am and I reach at about 835am. My office is just beside the LRT station. It is convenient indeed. Everyday, we have to sign in and out using thumbprint. It's quite troublesome because the fingerprint reader is located at 17th floor and my department is located at 19th floor. My company is comprising of 60% Malay, 30% Chinese and 10% Indian. Unfortunately, my colleagues in my department are all female!!! 6 Malay, 5 Chinese and 2 Indian. OMG!!! Due to this reason, we are not able to make friend with them. It's not because we don't want to make friend with Malay. Instead, they seems like don't want to talk with us. Exclude myself and HoD, only 3 girls are Chinese. One girl is also newbie like me and there are 2 more girls. One girl is quite unfriendly in which she never look at us and I don't feel like she want to talk with us. Sadly, I don't have bunch of friends to go for meals together. As compared to my internship days, I have about 7 to 9 of them having lunch with me. We chit chat and laugh together. Now...There's no more...First day, I had lunch with the newbie girl, HoD and another girl. Second day, I spent my lunch time to register as KWSP member. Third day, I went for lunch with the newbie girl. Why? The HoD and another girl were on leave.
My working place...
Our colleagues said the workload is this month is the lowest throughout the year due to off-season as fasting season. So, we were extremely free for the first 3 days. Yet, they said sometimes can work until 8 to 9pm. OMG!!! I don't want it. The senior who guide me is a Malay woman and I feel like she is not that patient to guide me.
This is the situation I faced now. How can I go about with it? Seriously, I want an environment where I can make friends with others. I don't to be isolated. Luckily, I was accompanied by my lovely hometown friends these few days. Without them, I really don't know where shall I be. First day and third day, I had dinner with Cecellia. Fourth day and fifth day, I have Yujin and Shushien.
Anyway, I have a happy Saturday, hanging out with them. Today was my first time been to Paradigm Mall and we had great meals there!!!
Korean food as lunchie :D
As usual, we Flake one Flake before going back.
There are more days to go...There's no end after working...No more sem break...No more no more...
Be happy, Meiguan...Convo is coming!!! Anyway, it seems like good result doesn't give you more...I really hope that I can get a job which I am very interested in and pay well.
