5th Day n IT's FRIDAY baby @_@

hoo.... hoo..hooo.. friday.. friday.. so fast.. 1 week already.. cant believe it.. and im still alive !!!!.. this is the best part !!

next week my job has been arranged as team lead is on leave for a week... perm staff have 24 days of leave.. so envy.. today manager told me.. he will convert me to perm.. now work as contract first...mm.. dunno if he say this just to motivate me or what.. anyway.. i'll try to stay lah.. unless i can take the pressure..then i go wipe pc...become cleaning lady.. no need to use much brain..

So.. what i did today ?
morning went to tampines office.. at 1030 .. travel down to Tung centre for compliance briefing.. then visit Jason and he brought me to third floor to see the etrali voice recoding tape... all the bank phone transacntion r recorded here.. VERY critical n cant afford to lost any data.. pheww.. scared to even touch it..

After lunch.. went back office.. boss crack a joke.. said the lady auditor called him said she cant access the door.. and he tot i called.. he jokingly ask me to buy coffee for him then surely can access the door..the lady auditor was so puzzled why ask her to buy coffee...haaaa.. gila bosss..50+ but look like late 30s.. dark.. tall.. fit.. and quite ok looking lah.. must have done something.. else how he maintain... even my team lead who is 30+ look older than him.. ghaaaa..

after that..attend a new application briefing..some new software will be added on this weekend.. bosss wanna me to pick up this too.. i've got many to read up.. eyes wanna drop...but today din do anything much actually...

After work.. came home..tired...so...enjoy weekend and work again next week ..gotta start work seriously liao.. now still like learning stage.. haven put in gear like that...!!

I hope 1 month later i'll be saying... im looking fwd to go to work..heeee..

4th day @ work...:)

Glad to see my own blog is getting relaxer each day.. heee.. meaning i'm getting used to my working environment...

today manage to get the access GUI up.. actually very easy.. there is a autoform to convert the databases to GUI in access.. phew.. n i've wasted so many days to do it manually.. so stupid.. anyway.. at least i learnt something now.. Team Lead is ok with the GUI but he actually want this to be shared on lotus note database as "shared file" so that other department can just fill up the form and we dun have to do the manual key in.. so.. i have to learn how to do it in lotus note.. when then i can stop doing this.. siaoo

And im suppos to get the barcode vendor to design the inventory software for us.. where to find.. still searching.. phew..

today i started taking my first ticket.. doing oracle database restoration on AIX.. heee.. Yong has been a great help.. he is really patient in explaining things.. so i guess i will go to him whenever i need help.. :))

Feel so lucky cos JL has always been there to support me..without him.. i really dunno if i can pull through...thankful to have him..



what else to say.. continue to thk of how to improve improve improve.. enhance enhance enhance.. my brain cell is more active now..heeee..

ThiR-Day @ work..

mm.. fast... 3rd day already.. n u know what.. mgr on leave today.. Yipeeee...

Team Lead wanted to have these few things automated:
(1) capture unikix start time daily and persent into statistic (graph)
(2) tape scanning method is very manuak and hard to verify whether the right tape is
being placed into the safe..

mm.. what can we do with the 2 ??? for (1) i think instead of manually keying in the time for the 13 servers into excel and display on graph.. we can use macro to ease the process? sucks.. i have to try to do this again...

The excel macro done yesterday for room access.. is not so good though.. they r using access form instead.. so i thk i will continue from there..

Today went to project mgt training.. seems like some poepl is not happy with some people ... the way C talk to team lead is full of sarcatism.. must be careful with this guy.. as he talk bad abt other colleague behind their back..

next week team lead will go on leave for a week.. sob sob.. hopefully i can survive without him..i really thk he is so nice..and helpful..

today my insurance agent sms me abt a temp job.. woah.. din expect her to be so responsive n helpful.. last time i met her i told her i've resigned and haven got job.. if she have any lubang must tell me.. haaaa.. she is sweet lah..

2 more days to go.. quick quick quick....

SeConD Day @ woRk

ReaLLY cant or Din sleep much/well cos keep getting up in the middle of night.. and once wake up.. will thk of how to do the macro.. sucks.. really stress..

a bit scared to want to go to work.. cos dunno what will happen again.. keep thking thiking.. and i finally came out with the work flow chart.. seems like they dun have this properly done on the intranet .. so maybe i can suggest this to manager.. else he must have tot im not contributing?? stress stresss..

So.. talked to Team lead on this n the operator.. they dun really need a proper guideline or work flow.. as they r so experience and know what to do and how to go abt when encounter problems with the applications.. but for new come like me.. no workflow will be a bit of a confusion...so i brought this up to mgr.. n he seems to welcome this idea.. and what else.. i have to do it lor.. phewwww

so altogether abt 10 applications.. each applications supporting various countries.. i thk i shall start with small one first.. get an idea how to do it first.. pheww...

the rest of the day im doing the macro.. surprisingly even the programmer who created the intrate dunno macro.. siaooo.. anyway.. my progress is quite ok.. im left with the date.. the rest mostly done.. hopefully tmw can let team lead use.. i took 3 days to come out with this..

lunch with Ros.. heee.. she is not really like her picture.. she look younger.. but very stylish.. one hand red finger nails.. another hand green finger nails.. haaaa... she is mad abt korean man..

Anyway.. today is better than yest.. hopefully one day is better than the day before.. and i can survive till next year...

AntiCipaTiOn

Today went to the training.. on HP Proliant monitoring software ( SIM ).. met up with my teamates Jeffrey ( Team lead ) and Operators team ( Thomas & Jason ), 2 other colleague from NT team as well.. they are friendly and easy going.. we can chat and joke without any problem.. glad that this if going well on the first meeting..

They were telling me how fortunate i am to get into BNP.. cos it's really hard to get in.. Thomas said he went through 5 interviews with panel of interviewers 6 years back.. n when i told him i went through 3 times.. he said im damn lucky.. haaaa.. and i got lots of information from jeffrey, the team lead on the job that im going to do.. he is hong konger.. being transferred from HK to s'pore.. happened that i just came back fro HK trip.. so we have lots to talk abt HK.. what a coincidence.. he is very polite.. n somehow i sense a bit og "jackson" in him.. haaa.. i'll be working closely with him.. so must make sure we can get along well.. i thk should not be a problem..

i need to help to enhance our operational internal websites.. come up with inventory design idea.. and they r using access for that.. meanwhile i need to learn how to use macro in excel.. woah.. these r really non-teachinical work for me.. i've done these before but not really good at it.. seems like i need to go through the book i've got/learnt from informatics to refresh... phewww..

from Jeffrey they get to travel to South East Asia.. Japan, HK, India.. cos when new installation, need to go down to check n ensure everything is working fine.. heee.e. hopefully my turn will come.. waiting eagerly..

after the training, went down to HR.. sign employment agreement..and lots of other contracts.. to read and to sign.. tmw will do medical check up.. and my claim for medical is unlimited.. woahhhhhhhhhhh... but no dental cos contract :(

anyway.. i shall try to work hard n provide good quality work.. hopefully have chance to convert to perm.. then better benefits.. haa hoo haa hoo

FinaLLy i"m lanDed SomeWHEre

after yest interview with Paribas HR.. this morning Thatz agent called said Paribas got back to them that they r offering me the job with the package ...

Woah.. to my surprise.. the salary is 100 higher than the price i asked for.. kekek..not too bad.. have leave.. have mc.. n have completion bonus..afternoon, manager called.. congratulated me.. and ask me to attend training with 3 other colleagues thurs & fri.. so fast.. haven even sign the contract

Afternoon went down to job agency to sign the agreement .. this is to ensure that i work at least 3 months.. else i have to compensate.. tmw will meet up with company HR to sign contract and do medical check up.. not sure where the check up will be.. since she said go down to company n do medical check up ?? well.. will see tmw then..

All coming so quickly.. Thrilled.. got into this big company.. not so bad and most of all i like the manager.. at least for now.. he seems to be someone who can talk n easy to get along.. cos he is very casual.. still have lots of time for me to find out more abt him, abt the new colleagues.. abt the new working environment.. abt the new job.. so looking fwd to it.. new life starts.. Yipeeee

Adi will be going to Ciba.. and the salary is pretty good.. so attractive.. but of course there r much more to do than in Solution Centre.. so i told him.. we shall have changes in our career.. to better.. always better.. different challenge...

still so happy for getting this job.. no need to job search for the next 1 year.. at least.. heeeeeee...

Life is full of hopesss.. Must thank to my family n frens who supported me and encourage me all this while.. Love u all so much ..

SS is selling hard to me abt her multi level marketing..anyway.. shall meet her this sunday and see how it goes.. my sis is objecting.. as she ever experience in this before and said not really working out ..


by the way.. sue is changing her blog url so often.. make me dizzy.. heee..but i have always get updated on the new url .. like read newspaper.. without fail to visit her blog.. heee..Dun give up blogging lorrr..

PAriBAsing

Third interview.. today with HR.. seems like their package is quite attractive.. well.. she said still need to do some admin stuff and will contact me within this week.. nice lady.. hopefully hear from her soon..

Anyway.. gotten news that Adi will go for second interview to Ciba.. All the best to him..:)

And another news.. that SOB will stay put for another year as company counter offer him ? heard nearly 3k and dunno what bonus 3.6.. ghaaaa.. oppss.. should i reveal this figures? heeee.. anyway.. good for him..

i was asked why company never counter offer me ? i guess that SOB n mgt good fren.. that lady boss like him.. and maybe heard he din get any interviews at all whithin the 3 months so counter offer him ? anyway.. if they counter offer me . i will not accept too.. cos i dun want to be "HELPDESK" forever.. sounded so low class to outsider.. and i thk im ready for some changes.. new challenge outside..

meanwhile.. i shall wait for paribas while looking for other potential job..tired of searching actually..Gis finally got her first interview.. happy for her..hope she gets what she wants..

tmw will go work out again.. so.. no-work.. but work out.. keep fit fit.. haaaaa.. healthy life style.. not bad too
