02.10.07 Tuesday... Busy Learning from Scratch

Haven't been updating as I'm simple too overwhelmed by the new routine which forces me to wake up at 6am on the first day of work and subsequently at 5.30am as I have to be at my workplace, located in Novena, by 7.40am?

For your information, due to the flexibility of the arts timetable, I've been in the luxury of waking up at 9am during the last year of my studies and not to forgot all these 5 months since the construction downstairs only starts at 8.15am and only getting very noisy from 9am onwards:P

Now it's payback time... a good training ground for me to learn 'makeup EXPRESS' which can save me some time for the important beauty sleep and rest needed.

And thus, I'll be disappearing from all those late nights MSN and turning into my sweet comfy bed between 10-10.30pm. Perhaps, that will finally do good to my ever-so-dark dark circles;D

Work wise... Learning Learning and more Learning to come! There'll be two months of training before turning full-fledge and starting doing more chim stuff. Meanwhile, I'm understudying my colleagues so to be able to know all the ground work before moving on to the management level of my job.

Also... most of the Docs at my work places all seem be rather idiosyncratic and are very peculiar on certain things. To me, that is purely just an air of arrogance from this handful of specialists.

No idea why they are doing that to my team but if they are unhappy, they can jolly well leave the place and go to other more well paid institutions (but I'm afraid there's none which is Government related except ours) :P

Anyways.... there's so much people and names I have to remember and not to forgot, that is on top of what I need to learn. Basically, my work place is not really that big but nonetheless it's not small too. Perhaps it will take 2 months to fully remember all :)

Today, I have finally gotten all the necessary identification status, access to programs etc and this making things easier for everyone to remember my name since we are all going to work together in a team.

They were even suggesting to get me a Christian name yesterday which I strongly disagree to (though I didn't tell them straight in their face).

Reasons being...

1. Most likely, I would not be responding to a foreign name

2. I like the name my parents give me

3. I'm not a Christian and I don't need an English name (I'm not against Christianity but I really don't see my need for other names except Buddhist and maybe French, German & Spanish names )

4. I've got a Buddhist name called MUDITA (unless they want to make their brain swell even bigger since it's harder to remember)

5. I'm not just another person whom you can help me find a name (my parents did their job 22 yrs ago) as I do not like to be called other sorts of names

6. It is only courteous to respect what one likes to be addressed & it's stated on our name tags!

7. My name is perhaps the most easily remembered name (except to other ethnic groups)

8. If can't pronounce, just called the last syllabus (i'm sure it is not a problem at all)

So... I'm more than happy to receive my NAME TAG!!!

Finally everyone can just see my tag and just simply call me by what I prefer and soon or later, they will remember :)

... Lastly I'm both glad and anguish by the dress code difference between me and my colleagues as it's so prominent to be spotted by patients (staff too but it's ok) who will make all sorts of funny and sarcastic comments at your disposal.

*SLAP THEM* Feel like telling them...

"Hello, U think I'm your slave ar? Am only here to assist you else you can go slowly itch to death. Please show some basic courtesy to people around you even if it's only a brief encounter. It's a pity your parents didn't inculcate such important values to you since a young age..."

Lastly, do not do things which you do not like others do to you! What comes around goes around! Becarful arh... *wicked smile*

Anyway, I doubt I would be bothered to talk more to them too since it's a total waste of my precious breath and health as I strive to stay happy.

Oh.. just realised that I have got a really hunted building beside my workplace and it really sends shiver and goosebumps down my spine and even knees! Errie place, will not walk pass it again and I'll practice jay-walking instead.

*Yawnz*... 1 more hr for me to do other stuff before it's sleeping time! Don't even have time for newspapers yet.. Now I understand why BB doesn't read so much but I think I'm worst then he is since my working hours are super long! :(

I'll be through and over all these soon! Hope to gather some sweet bearing fruits all the end of all these ;D

Updating soon, perhaps weekend.

Arrrgggghhhh! Plagued by irritating tuitee's parents who insisted I must finish my course of tuition till end of her exams. Stupid. Anyways, I've only seen her 9 times in the past 2mths which is v v v little!

Just 4 more times and I'm done. Never want to teach tuition again, enough is enough.
