My 5 year service award

Saturday night, the office organized the annual dinner at The Westin. Well, first place the hotel is in the middle of town, and it's sturday noght, well you do the math. Lulily, I'm not driving. Kesian Mek tod, dahla terlepas simpang, kena pusing lagi sekali. The dinner, well, ..............................? the theme is Oscar night. Well I went as a guy, maybe because to save budget and nobody said that I have to dress as a woman. But I'm so looking forward to receive my 5 years service award. It's mean I will get money na the plaque!!!!

How I've got the job

5 years, so what does it mean? I still remember when I apply the job after finish the final exam. Seriously, I don't want to continue study. I bought the star or NST, I can't remember, copy the e-mail address and went to CC near my house and just blindly send my resume. So the day was on Saturday where I already bought my bus ticket to balik kampung( before raya) for tomorrow. I'm on the way to KLCC to watch the first "Harry Potter" movie. I'm in the bus when I've got the call from my friend's phone, that somebody called me regarding job interview. So when I get back, I called the number and it was Ms. Soo asked me to come for interview on Monday. So, I need to burn my bus ticket. The office in Kelana Jaya, but I still can't remeber what positon and worst what company is it. Luckily my housemate knows the building. Went I reached the office, I still can't remember what position I'm apllying so when she asked me to fill the form, I stuck in that column, luckily she said to me it's DAta Entry Clerk. Well the interview went smoothly, I guess ( if not, well I'm not here). When she asked me that the job will be boring because I need to sit in fron of computer all day long, basically I just said fine with it, I love computer. then, went I went back, I have the feelings that I will get the job. Sure enough when I get back home, I recieved the call for second interview. So when I got to my hometown for the Raya that year, I know when I comeback next year, I already have a job. I am greatful because, it's my first interview and I don't have to run all over the town to find a job.

My first Anuual Dinner

The dinner was held in Bandar Sri Damansara Club. It was Chinese dinner with 13 courses. Well, that time we have lucky draw and I've got a "Steam Iron" which is the one that I need most. I still commute between shah Alam and Kelana Jaya with 1 taxi from my home to the bus stop. 1 bus from the highway to Kelana jaya and 1 feeder bus to the office and I still need to walk and using bridge to the office. When I go home, to save money, I need to take bus until all the way to Klang and wait until 8.30pm to get bus to Section 7, Shah alam. Then in the dinner we play the" scissors and paper game" where all of us( about 15 ) were given RM 10 each and we need to compete with aothers. I f we won't we can take the others money. Well guess what, I've won. I've got RM 150 cash on that night. I don't know that I raelli good in this game or the others sucks. This is my first time also see other people drunks and babling nonsense. I't quite an experience.

I think I've change and grow through all this 5 years ( mentally and physically). From the youngest staff in the office 5 years ago to the not so young staff now. From Data Entry Clerk to FD Admin to FDC.I'm very greatful and happy here. I manage to surround me with all the good people, great friendships, a lot of opportunity to visit other countries whether for business or just for fun. This is my "cheese". Will I stay another 5 years, well time will tell.
