>> zee has decided not to be emo, cos life has to go on.
just when i thot im gonna be alone on my very last day as a t.a.x officer, i saw mr shen and cui-kia on my last day! even psp also happen to be in office to clear her work. so im really happy i got to see them on my last day wor... and even though i was already damn low profile on my new position, news just spread like wildfire and everyone knows my new designation liao... i shall reveal later how small a fry i am.
i was supposed to end work at 12.30 but i eventually left at 3, partly cos of ms ang's case which i couldnt figure in the end and was dumped to jo. walking out of the office without any pass felt weird. the only better part was i had 2 hunks (the 2 above) to pei me to open to access gate for me to get out.
i wont be deceiving myself if i said i felt nothing about leaving the job. its 3 years, 3 months and 17 days of my life here, longer den my whole uni life. i dun have this feeling when i left the greeny company, though i also miss the ppl over there alot. p.a.t called me over and talked to me, asking me about my new job and stuff den once again commented i have really been here for a long time... telling kaiyan who was sitting opposite us that TCOs like us are always there when they need us. no matter if she's just entertaining me or speaking the truth, to me it just felt very very 窝心. i wasnt here 3 years for nothing...
i learnt the basics of income tax here, first experienced taking calls, got my first scolding here, met the first official superiors at work who taught me everything i need for my job, eventually discovered they are best sups i have so far, and also got my frens to work with me. without i.r.a.s, i wont have known i had a little talent (or at the very least tolerance level) for call centre work. without i.r.a.s, i wont have been able to cope with the even more challenging greeny company. everything started here back in 3 feb 2005, as the first batch of tco den. we had no temp staff to buddy with, only half a day with perm and that was it. den we were all thrown online to pick up call. no one wanted to press the miraculous manual-in button. all of us had no other ppl to ask except the sups infront. this was wat i went through as a new tco, which was kinda different as those newer ones now who had plenty of chances of buddying and asking older temps. during the first week of work, our place didnt even have separate cubicles! they were all using office tables... den later they did the nice cubicles so that 4 ppl can be sit in a cluster. so to be accurate, the is the second time i saw the temp area doing upgrade. the only regret is that i cant see the revamped area...
just like the last time i left the greeny giant... there are so so so many things i miss abt i.r.a.s that i will never finish putting them here..
i miss being late for 15 min.i miss getting off at novena and walking up the escalators to pass by burger king.i miss the very very underpass which i have probably walked a thousand times and always see the cleaner mopping floor and wiping the walls.i miss the second floor and fifth floor drinks.i miss 12.30 lunch time chicken rice, buddy meal, food junction, hk street, food juice etc etc...i miss saturdays shake-leg-make money session and the after-work lunch which usually eats up half a day pay at least.i miss the bitching sessions with the sups.i miss the slow slow irin and entity update.i miss the daily record sheet and soft phone.i miss callmaster V and the lousy headset with occasional dirty sponge padding.i miss the cleaner auntie that always talks damn loud.i miss scoldings/ family stories and grumpy tps.i miss psp, chicky, cs, niang niang, joa.nne, pear.ly, wil.i miss boss, kumgong, gek, jill, mr shen, cui-kia, doris, and others.i miss val especially cos we have the same bd and we came on the same day, she is my sole buddy from my batch.i miss inlan95.i miss $7.35/Hr.i miss income, reliefs, rebates, giro instal.
walking out of the buidling from the last time, i took some pics on the way. u never bother the details until u know u cant see them anymore. i just felt so so so empty walking to the mrt. the journey to the mrt station suddenly seems so fast...
no cleaner today, wat a waste.
zee's philosophy of
"life goes on my way" will always continue, hence,
she is now embarking on e new journey in life. she will miss the ppl and place forever.
thank you i.r.a.s, for the 3 years of happy work i had.
moving on, im now a staff of w. d . a, and quoting from niang niang's sms,
" welcome 2 govt! now u oso jing hu lang le!"incase u didnt catch it, jing hu lang = govt ppl.this niang niang ah, never fails to amuse me.
