my very first job, ever

hey hey! little updates on me. well, i've been busy so far. so so busy. busy bee. haha. how many 'busy' there :P i've started working already at CIMB Bank at the HQ, KL. well, it is next to Sogo and best part is, my office is soooo near to Jln Masjid India, Jln TAR. heaven of textiles. i already can see where my money would go for my first salary :P it was tiring everyday with the journey because i'm taking Komuter and ride with my mother to go to KTM Station. being her, she would go out early (well, before 7am to be exact!). so, everyday i arrived Bank Negara KTM Station around 7.30am whilst my working hour would only start at 8.45am. since i'm not having staff pass yet, so it would be quite difficult for me to access.

my first and second day bring a heavy dizziness to me because i need to understand all the computer system and software and memorize all the steps. it's really really complicated. i was assigned a buddy, As, to show me all the systems and how it operate and memorizing, taking notes all the commands involve. i was so sleepy whenever i see all the numbers and codes.

poor me that today we had a fire drill practice. the moment they put on the emergency alarm, we were told to get down by stairs. pfffttt! my office is at 13th floor. imagine! well, i can consider myself as lucky as CIMB Bank HQ has about 30 floors. if i were about to be placed at 3oth floor, i think that i would die because of exhausted rather than on fire. haha. so, everyone were gathered at the waiting area, read: under lrt station, opposite Sogo and in front of CIMB Bank entrance. well, imagine now how much attention we freely get? (=.=) we were waiting about 2 hours under hot sunny day. i'm myself almost faint (because i have low blood pressure) because i was too tired.

above all, i feel comfortable with my my office environment. it's not room definitely, just a cubicle for each. i've got huge table, i already daydreaming what i wanna put to decorate the table and my partition wall :P i'll upload the picture soon enough ok! so, basically, my job task is to contact loan borrower and to update their account data. my department name is retail collection. everyday, we would be given a list of "uncontactable" borrowers and try to contact them using numbers in the system. is a bit challenging and tricky because majority of borrowers (especially those who have high outstanding balance) are very difficult to trace. they would barred the line, change numbers, block incoming calls, not answering calls and so on when they know bank is looking for them. that is why my team is called "investigation team". well, does it sounds like CSI to you? haha. it sounds fun, i know, but we had to at least having successful calls at least 60 persons per day. our performance will be based on that :(

anyway, i'm just hoping for the best with this job. i am thankful that i've got work with normal working hours. although the salary might seem a bit low, but for me, my happiness and convenience that matters the most :) i thought, it's not too bad for a start isn't it? hehe.

here's are some pictures during fire drill practice. during time like this, i really wish that i have phone with good camera quality.


last but definitely not the least, picture in toilet :P
