Okiez... here i am in the office blogging... yurp.. sneaking to do it! you can feel the pressure.. the fear of getting caught.. which actually is thrilling! haha

Anywayz, helping the company to improve their website using microsoft frontpage and adobe photoshop! took the whole day yesterday lorz and still working on it... and out of my 8 designs.. my supervisor accepted 3 only. oh wellz.. they like the webpage i improved for them.. hehez, K enough of work.

Last night i was just doing my own stuff... games.. internet.. etc. when adeline msg me on msn about class allocation.. yeah it is out! i was nervous, scared, anxious, any words you can describe on fear or anxiety! haiz i found out i am in TB33.. i guess it is the 1st class for Entrepreneurship and Marketing specialisation as sources tell me that tb32 is for entrepreneur specialisation only..
Also found out that lots of people are in TB34! all the tb22 peeps i noe are getting in there.. and of course other people i know of not in tb22 too.. a total of 6 people i know of is going to TB 34.. GREAT, WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL ... tmd.. while i am in tb33 .. ARGH

Luckily eliz is in the same class as me man... coz i have no freaking idea hu will be in TB33 until MEL updates the modules and class register arn early next month? geez.. i guess i m over reacting by imagining stuff last night. Yeah.. is all about who you want to be with in your new environment, ur frens and all, but the school has to do such dumb arrangements that you cant be with the people you want to be with... ha.. Life sucks isn't it.. anxiety has juz began ppl..

Signing off.... spies lurking around me......

I was super touched... *guys can get touched too damn it* ... okie saw my 'O' Levels result slip pasted at the centre's door. Although it may seem to be a marketing stance.. but oh wellz.. after all those scoldings & shouting i get from Mr Fong my E.maths + Physics tutor, he is sure 1 good tuition teacher I'll never forget man.. yeah its good to see that the centre is doing well too as he expanded the premises twice the size than it was before.

I guess i should stop complaining... and should actually be thankful. My supervisor and colleagues explained the reason for the amount of work they gave me. I took it positively of course.

All my work had to pause today as 2 more assignments came to me. Half a day was spent on tele-marketing.. calling all those industrial companies... getting to speak to big post people as i have to market the company's products over the phone. Another half day was spent designing surveys... yes.. since poly yr 1 i have been doing and designing surveys & i feel so fated with coming out with surveys. Was given a 2 week dateline to help Training department to come out with 8 different sets of surveys to be conducted internally... its all about service and training... wonder if PQS is useful this time.

Its like i thought poly was bad enough when lecturers were vague and stingy with their information on projects... workplace is worst! my manager told me she wants me to experience such things now... I hope i can be some use to them since i cant even help them with e-brochure using macromedia fireworks....

Work starts to pile up. I happen to finish the excel database of over 8700+ customers already. The dateline was actually next month as he said it could take me my whole attachment to do it... but excel is easy lar... so i completed within 2 weeks.... =)

My supervisor gave me 2 more assignments... 1 is to improve NEA- SEI's webpage.. omg.. I guess everyone shld know my condition on E-commerce... i suck at it...
-totally- i hesitated to accept the assignment... haiz someone pls save me... IT'S EC for goodness sake! Another assignment... NEA's financial year book... he gave me to draft 3 - 4 paragraphs on SEI courses, so that it can be put up on their financial year book... Their financial year so happen to be from 1st April to 30th march.. which means they just finished, so they are preparing for their latest FY bk. Haiz... nervous... anxiety... *banging the wall*

My supervisor chose the subjects i have studied which i wrote on the piece of paper and assigned it accordingly... that is he took written biz com for drafting of financial year book, CIP for excel database, e-commerce for webpg, PQS for explaining service in the FY bk, principles of marketing for the ppt slides... thank goodness they were happy with my marketing powerpoint slides... phew~ is just that days to come... he wants me to follow them to meet their clients and see how they negotiate stuff...

So happen that my liason officer drop by to pay us a visit today to see how things are progressing. All those attached to NEA were to gather for a meeting.. each of us had to share what we did and report to him. -_-" boy did everyone laughed at me.... i had the most work!!! the most tedious ones! and work from every aspect.. ARGH! they teased me & said that i m drawing a $4000+ pay... oh yah right.. is like 10 times lesser.. but found out is not $440 for 7 weeks... is per month..

Sometimes i wonder... should i be happy to get such exposure?blessed? or call it suay/ unlucky? or a mixture of both.... =/

Damn tired while doing up the excel database today. Almost fell asleep a lot of times until i stood up and took a stroll to the NEA canteen for awhile.. since my workplace is juz above it lar! then i saw my supervisor and manager at the canteen.. and they saw me taking a stroll... is like OMG! i quickly rush up to my desk can... but i finished all my assignments lar... so, erm i guess i shld take a short tinny winny break...

I was invited to have lunch with the whole training department... yes, i hesitated lar.. so nervous, it wasnt a few but with the whole department leh.. They were holding the lunch for 2 ppl, 1 staff is going to retire and another leaving the company. Even the managing director was there, some ministry of environment official over there... the atmosphere was juz very tense. Went to some Indonesian restuarant at Paragon... The whole table was booked for SEI deparment. Sat down and chat wif some colleagues, yeah they are actually nice people lar. Just that i am very nervous... hello!?! There was the director + ministry official + all the managers + staff of training department?? *shivers*

It was raining cats and dogs everyday since i was posted there... today was the worst... lightning and the thunder damaged the LAN system in the building. Since the computers were down... everybody relaxed and didnt really work, as computers are such an important equipment for the training deparment. Soon, you can see all the female colleagues using their handphones taking photos of each other, laughing.. until the director juz walked to them from behind.. "wah what you all busy with?" ... all kept quiet and resumed their work... hahaha

Friday I'll be working half day in office and half day at suntec NEA exhibit! ahaha, find govt sector jobs kinda challenging.

First day of attachment @ National Environment Agency

Met up with my the other 2 frens who were attached to NEA... however both of them are from accountancy diploma, while I am the only extra one from Business Studies. Initially I was posted to HR and Training department right? Now it's different... Now, I got posted to the NEA training department to do something very shocking lar.. i expected photocopier job... but :

Early morning met up with Lu Hua and Shafiq, both of them posted to NEA's finance department.. while me, being ALONE again posted to the training department.. they call it SEI... Singapore Environment Institute... which is under NEA... oh wellz.. got seperated after got short briefing... super nervous!

Got to level 3 SEI... was welcomed by the SEI department.. i shook countless number of hands... and even the managing director for training department.. he told me "you from ngee ann poly? your principal was once from NEA did you know?" ... i was stunned.. hahaz.. After that.. they gave me my own desk with an IBM desktop... they also gave me my own NEA email account, temporary staff pass and user a/c.

That was around 10am. Then my supervisor gave me the financial book for NEA, brochures of their products, their courses, price etc. She asked me to read them. Initially i read quite abit.. until i felt super tired, i stopped. Soon, before you know it, it was lunch time, met up with those 2 guys again for lunch. I pity them lor! they being in diploma of accountancy right, they learn accounting stuff.. so the finance department actually gave them accounting stuff to do for their company!!! Accounts receivables, invoices accounting stuff were assigned to them! OMG! i was laughing at them.. coz my 1st half of the day was total slack.

My happiness short lived... after i got back from lunch, my assistant supervisor told me "Glen, 15mins time i am going to have an interview with you, get prepared 3 qns i am going to ask you, that is what are SEI's products? who are the customers? and what is your competence and what will you want to reap from this attachment?" ok... that was super sudden! the interview was smooth i guess.. not much of stress... So her qns were basically those of marketing, so i answered them, and she asked me to write out the modules i have studied during 2 yrs in poly... and she questioned 3rd yr specialisation what i chose, and why i like marketing....

After that... my supervisor briefed me and allocated me assignments. he gave me 3..
  1. Deadline this Friday. Task : create a powerpoint slide presentation involving general marketing concepts involving 4Ps, target market, segmentation, marketing communication tools.. after that relate with the company. And then i need to present to the training department...
  2. Deadline - month of May. Create a microsoft excel database on customer info for direct marketing
  3. Deadline - after the above 2 tasks. Comment, suggest, give improvements, state the flaws on their current brochure used for marketing SEI's courses.

haiz... i am very nervous about the outcome of my work you know.... Hope everything goes well. =/

It was ... FUCK... haiz... i dunnoe wad's wrong with this semester, the modules are not my cup of tea... operations management was a disaster paper and i didnt like that module... today's e-commerce? i juz cant stand exams related to computer, databases, scripts ... yeah.. before the paper i can remember the definitions .. when doing the paper itself i forgot the meaning of RECORDSET, ODBC, DSN.... 12 marks allocated to recordset.. is like wtf to write? only accounts paper on monday was ok.. haiz... there goes my grades for this sem... last semester's modules were so interesting like business law, financial management, Human resource, so easy to remember! COMPARED TO THIS SEM?!.. this semester juz sucks big time. i juz cant wait for tomorrow's marketing paper to finish.. Can't stand this semester...
