1st Day of training

I was quite excited at the beginning.. Wonder how things would turn out to be.. There's a lot of ppl in shift 1 of the day shift. The 2nd shift for day comes at 7.30am. I was thinking i might have a hard time locating my name on the list for my group, among the crowd, but was very lucky to spot it just on the 1st list.. So i just headed to find my group no..

Training room was big n lots of tables ard..Searchin in vain for my group number, only to noe, it was not displayed out like other groups yet..Managed to got a seat there n wait.. So the trainers came n mark attendance.. My excitement begins to drop as the day proceed on, though still excited, but not happy like the beginning.. The trainers were both so soft spoken tat we could not here their instructions carefully...

Training there seems so many restrictions.. Cannot do this, cannot do tat.. They expect us to train, only gg to toilet breaks during 2 15mins break n 1 hr lunch Break.. Tat's all.. BEsides tat, punctually is very impt, no room allowance for 1 min late from report n coming back from breaks..no drinking water during training..like a kindergarden...

1st training was Chips Handling.. Learn to pick the chips, stuck them, cut them into 5s n 4s..While practicing all these, its standing thru out.. its not so easily as i have write them here.. Picking chips have a standard procedure n to stuck them n place them into piles of 20s on the table, u need to feel it wif ur hands.. Next cutting the chips wif 1 hand cannot look, but feel it wif ur hands..

Not only on rite hand alone, but have to do wif the left hand as well.. It was so difficult, but luckily beside me was a new frd, who seems so talkative tat we have been talking thruout, else it would have been boring.. Of cuz talking seems so unappropriate n we were being noticed a few times, talking while practicing..So i met a new frd, which happened to be an indo chi as well..

She was also 1 of the 1st person who entered the room wif me n ended up finding our names 1st.. she also stepped on my shoes twice, while we were walking n searching for our table number...So lunch time we went for lunch tog wif some of our group on the same table.. A bad incident happened due to the pour instructions given as the trainers were soft spoken...

Had we tot tat we would be gg to the toilet n the trainer would bring us to show us where we can have our meals (Lunch is not provided, not only tat schedule for the week, still not confirmed yet).. Our hands were dirty n black wif the chips, so we went to wash our hands, but when we come out, all of them were missing.. So we went to look for dining place ourselves..

There's a gate n we dun have a pass.. So have to wait for ppl wif the pass to open the gate for us.. Well when we come back, we tot we were early, only to find them coming in 1 by 1, wif security pass ard their neck, so we look for our trainers when we saw them, only to be reprimanded n its our fault for not listening to instructions... They actually went to get their pass b4 gg for lunch...

How could we noe when their voice were so soft n unclear? we were so unhappy wif him, but we can't say anything. When we went to collect our pass, another thing made me pissed off..Its the Security pass.. I hav been registering my name using Hong Yilun all the time n they still ignored me n put my dialect name instead...Ended up wif a diff in the attendance list n the pass...

So when i went back, the trainers would be looking at our pass n write their evaluation of our performance while we were practicing.. Ended up when approached, they noticed the name diff n i explained to them, they ask me to stay back after work n as the ppl to change the name in the pass.. I already explained to them tat they refused, but its pointless.. My indo chi frd, PY also got her name wrong, as she dun have her surname in her ic, but the surname was placed on the pass..

So we have to go to chg the pass later on.. Then finally the schedule is out for the training prog.. I was so disappointed after knowing it.. Its not alternate 5, 6 weeks, but full 6 days per week, wif the same timing thru out the week.. The things will only begin once we start work officially.. So now, every thursday i'll have off.. My shift timing is fixed as day..since so many ppl complained, they adjusted it to 7am in the morning, no excuse for late even for a min..

in fact wif have to report 15 mins earlier as there would b a briefing.. So i dun have to stay over at ben's hse anymore, infesting by the mosquitoes...His hse downstair is very happening for sight-seeing, but the mosquitoes were more deadly..The schedule only stated until 18th April.. So i am not sure if its the last day of training or not, as training was told to be 3mths..

Ok finished work at 2.30pm, headed to change pass name... Pissed of again...I knew it, i was not allowed to change the Pass ID name.. Reason was simply becuz the dialect name was first n they have no space to input my full name inside.. Wat an excuse.. PY managed to got her card change. She lived at AMK area n she was originated from Batam..

Some info of her, she used to work at batam's casino for 2 yrs n have stopped work 2 yrs ago n she said the training here was so much difference n much more restricted.. Making training so unhappy.. So we went to find the bus to come here after changing the pass.. Noticed bus no 31 comes from toa payoh mrt to here.. about 10+ stop, so we agreed to meet up n go to work the next day.

after which she headed to finish up her work at nite cuz she tender resignation late n have to serve 1 month notice. As for me, i decided to walk to ben's hse under the hot sun to get my things b4 gg home..Btw PY was a heavy smoker to me, cuz she is like newspaper boy or Kim tat after every meal or breaks, need to smoke. Ok tat's all abt the training..

Ben advice me to take bus to other place to take bus 980 home.Though journey is long but i can slp all the way.. Thinking of carrying so many things, i decided to listen to him n not take bus to mrt n take train.. I slept tiredly thru out the journey..Reach home use com awhile n headed out to meet nel n wil as wan to share my exp wif them...

When i reached the arcade to find nel, i was shocked tat the uncle working there called me..he told me tat there's a lady finding me urgently, calling the arcade so many times..ask me to call this number.. the lady does not noe my name, but only based on description..Wear spec, always a sf4 area, big size..Zzz i so fat meh? Ok i call back but initially nobody answer, so i went to approach nel..

Not long after tat, the number called me back.. n i answered it..Then she told me tat she saw me very often at the arcade, but i said the description might not be me.. But when she said always wearing capitalmall t-shirt, ok tat's me.. She is working at Media Corp n need me to help her wif a model assignment..THink tat i suit the bill...since its an interesting thing for me n she told me tat my casino job would not be affected i decided to help her out..

She was the 1 who came in wif a bf, who played sf4 as well.. So she arranged to meet me after my work the next day, to discuss the job issue. So after the call, headed to eat dinner wif nel n wil b4 playing cards at mac for a while..Tat nel always like tat, lose want to play some more, so i told him half an hour n i have to go.. So after which i went home to rest...

bubbles of sadness.
