i'm really so sorry 4 not updating my blog. i noe i've gotta kick tis lazy habit of mine. alrite, lyk wat u've seen on de title, yupz, finally started work! actly, to be exact, i've started on july 4, 2007. so on de 1st 2 days, we had an orientation @ the legends @ fort canning. @ 1st i tot we gonna be having some picnic there when i heard fort canning. haha. but anyway, din do much over there except kept listening to pple fr diff depts giving talks. it's really lyk drilling de kpmg culture into ur brain! besides, we've had so many breaks in b/w n each time when we haf break there's gonna be some "light" refreshments. tink kpmg's gonna be feeding us to turn fat!
we received our trolley on our 1st day there. n i'm lyk, my goodness! here we r @ fort canning, n since u wun be providing transport back, y bother to give us de trolley here! how r we gonna be carrying back home?
on thurs we had a game to play. we've to pretend tt we r de kpmg staff setting up booths to attract de "students" who r in fact our managers! to me, i din quite enjoy it. de gals were hiding behind me, while out of de 3 guys, 1 was hiding behind de board while de other 2 were giving such serious talks thru'out tt i wud be scared away if i were de student. obviously none of them has sales experience b4, or else they wun be in tis industry! haha, but tt doesn't apply to me! it's obvious tt i've more sales experience as compared to them, n tis is all thx to de various temp jobs i've done in de past! come to tink of it, i really miss being a student n working different temp jobs during each holis.
@ nite, we had dinner w/ our managers. there i noticed there's tis oni guy joining same unit as me who's so irritating tt i dun tink i can get along w/ him well, somemore he's not speaking clearly, such tt i've to ask him to repeat again n again. he's very self-centred, n he tot tt he knows everything in de dept juz bcoz he's been here during internship. u could c tt even 1 of de managers cant stand him. in tt case, y bother to ask him to return aft his internship?
last wk we had a 1 wk training. it's to impart us w/ de audit methodology. de whole session was seminar-based, n we were divided into grps. i was in an all gals team n we gave our grp a name called SG (stands for "singapore gals")! n we got tt idea from spice gals! we were very active coz we were afraid to do forfeit if we turn out to be de last! so much so tt we even managed to influenced 1 of de gals in another team to shout our our name when we compete to ans qns! haha, tt's a really funny 1! luckily we manage to come in 3rd out of 8 teams.
so ytd was then considered my official 1st day of work, n many of us were nervous to know wat will we be doing. i was asked to do stat audit w/ 1 other newbie. n de reason y i was asked to do so is bcoz de senior managed to find out tt i've done it b4. we tot tt we could go outfield early so as to complete job early. but de senior was late to reach office n brief us. then later, she went ard de office asking if there's anyone who want us to do de same thing 4 them since we're gg outfield looking for de same client. n indeed, we were given so much to do tt 2 hrs past b4 we could really step out of de office. actly it's nth really much, except to do typist job there. n as expected, we din manage to finish all de tasks given to us.
even tis irritating guy haf to come into de scene when we went outfield. when we reached there, de lady in chg of us there was saying 1 of our colleagues haf reached n doing de same thing 4 de same co as us, n it turned out to be him! i mean, if he could haf told us tt he's coming here, we wouldn't be so embarrassed in front of de lady! besides, according to jeya, apparently, de senior din send him there, but he got other task to do. really cant stand him acting smart.
as 4 de others, they finally managed to get sth to do aft our very experienced typist, pat seah, gave de seniors a lecture. she told them tt even if they let us read their audit files we'r able to learn sth out of it, n de managers laugh upon hearing tt. btw, tis pat seah is famous 4 having a loud n sharp voice tt de whole office will be able to hear it.
we had another training 2dae, n tis 1 is on biz etiquette. de instructor was very funny n lyk mr bean. but u can c he's oso a very strict person who sticks to his beliefs. anyway, tis was a successful seminar.
i'm gonna be doing de same stat audit tmr. hopefully will be able to finish it quick!
