Living in an Ironic World

Today is my off day.
My boss asks me to rest at home coz tmr I will be starting my 12hrs shift.
I will be working on this sat and sun after which I will rest for 2 days and the cycle repeats.
My weekends are gone. =(
Hmm..Actually not so bad la if I think of it this way..
1)Going out on weekends is always crowded.
2)Weekends movie and buffet are expensive.
3)Carpark lots are always full on weekends.
4)Staying at home has nothing to do except to sleep.
5)The afternoon tv program to watch sucks. I can switch channel more than 10 times in 1 min.
6)Friends are not available on weekends.
7)Darling hv to work on weekends too.
So, its better to exchange my weekends for money$$ and spend it on weekdays. =)

I have started work for 2 weeks already.
The first 3 days were relaxing and fun coz it is orientation.
I had lots of briefing on work safety, security, intellectual properties, ISO and salary related matters.
Besides briefing, I also attended courses on the company's core values.
The core values were drilled into our heads through the games activties.
The ice breaker game reminds me of my secondary sch and jc days.
I have never really enjoyed the games in those days coz I simply find it stupid.
Maybe I was too anti-social. I duno how to make new friends.
But this time round, I put in all my heart and soul to participate actively in the games.
I was abit shy at first but after a few games I got warm up.
Most of the games emphasize on teamwork and every team members will need to contribute ideas to complete a task in the shortest time.
I am surprised that I actually open my golden mouth and contribute some ideas.
I had so much laughter and fun.
This is the best orientation I had ever enjoyed.
And I even look forward to the next course.

My progress in learning is very slow.
Sometimes I am very frustrated coz I am like stuck there not learning anything.
I was given some reading material and notes.
And I have a mentor attached to me.
But I dun wish to occupy his time coz he got more impt things to settle.
His desk phone and hp keep ringing non-stop.
He did teach me and answer whatever doubts I have but I feel that I din learn much at the end of the day.
Most of the time I will sit quietly at my desk to read the notes, and trying hard to figure out what all the technical terms means.
It was so boring and I have no one to talk to.
I never fail to fall asleep after lunch time.
I more I ty to keep myself awake the more my eyes feel like closing.
I wish I can also be as busy as them.
This is only possible when I hv learnt the ropes.
I must learn fast!!
Hopefully tmr will be a fruitful day for me coz I will be going into the production line to see see and touch touch the big big machines. Yeah.
