Ooops, just realized that i haven't blogged for ages...
was so busy during the last few weeks in SM and was having so much fun in SMRT that I didn't have time to blog...
Time flies! After my resignation, i was still swamped with tons of work, even till my last day. I still attended meeting on my second last day in SM...my desk was covered with lots of papers that it didnt look like as if it belonged to someone who is leaving the company...I was rushing to finish work on my last day and to clear my desk at the same time...it sucked!!! And it's even suckier when weeks after leaving the company, i was still disturbed by occasional calls and messages from my ex-colleagues asking work-related stuffs. I still remembered walking on MRT track (as we were having orientation) while talking on the phone to my ex-director about lifts and no. of rooms in the Hotel project that i did before.
Well, SM chapter is finally closed and a new chapter begins in SMRT - a new page filled with tight competition yet fun adventure. The competition was evident on the first week and as the days pass by, the bond of friendship forged between the 17 of us starts to downplay it. The past 4 weeks have been a blast!!! The 5-days induction was a well-organized programme to assimilate us into the new environment. And the team-building activity at the end of the whole induction almost killed me as I trembled across the fine rope 15 metres above ground.
Being management trainees, we are susceptible to being arrowed anytime by anyone in the company. Our first 'canon' came from our very own "Mama" (the person-in-charge of us and the programme), who shot us with a big task of putting up a performance for SMRT Long Service Award, and we were only left with 9 days to prepare for that. The worst thing is that we are already attached to the Safety Services Department, with different safety audit timetables, and this made it hard for us to gather everyone to plan and prepare for it. In the end, amidst all the challenges, we put up an astonishing performance, that earned us The first Prize for SMRT Got Talent - Group category: a trophy and $1,000 shopping voucher!
I felt much younger when i'm with this group of Management Trainees, even though i'm only 1-yr older than the girls here. When we were rehearsing for the dance, I felt like I was back in the university days...in fact I never danced during the university days...and i just found my hidden talent! hahha...it's so unbelievable that I ended up learning the dance moves of the very popular MTV "Nobody Nobody but you", when initially i swore that I would never learn these seductive dance steps, amidst Tengfu's repeated requests and I hated to see the MTV as the video always made him glued to the screen.
You can catch the video of our award-winning performance in my Facebook...it's really awesome! hahaha...
