The long-winded internship story
Started my 1st day of work with CAAS today... i wud say tat it wuz a rather "interesting" day... came to the airport at 8.30am today... as usual... i din know where to go because my supervisor din inform me on where to report or anything... so basically... i knew squat... found out that the supervisor wuz on leave and tat he wuz very busy wif a lot of things prior to me startin my internship... talk abt bad timing yah... in any case... followed rachael and the rest to some sort of meeting room at Terminal 2 to be briefed on our job scope and stuff... wahhh... thankfully got rachael... if not... surely wun know a damn thing when come to the airport... think i'd probably have gone home coz nobody at the airport management department wuz returnin my calls... anywayz... things turned out fine at that point... finished our briefing at 10 b4 our respective supervisors whisked us away to our different departments... my supervisor... Mr Abbas... ( he's the assistant manager of terminal operations by the way... ) wuz in some sort of meeting and so the woman who collected me from Terminal 2 to shepard me back to Terminal 1 told me to wait in this empty office cubicle for him to return... i wuz there... i waited... n waited... n waited... fell asleep... woke up... BASKET! already 12.30... he's still not back yet... by tat time my arse and arms developed cramps already... waited a few more minutes b4 he finally appeared... better late than never yeah? quite a friendly chap... easy to talk to and rather accommodating... he kinda briefed me on wat i wud be doin here... my workin hrs... blah blah blah... i kinda switched off coz wuz rather dazed after wakin up mahz... OH! but i know tat lunch is from 1-2... this type of things then i pay attention... farkin hell... no good lahz jon... *nobody understands*
Had lunch wif my fellow attachees at the airport canteen... saw joanna for the 1st time in a Cathay Pacific uniform... my goodness... red's in fashion sia... but honestly... u look damn different from when in scool... aiyah... but same person in the end... day wuz pretty slow moving till then... got back to my office and checked up some stuff on the net... WHAT!? YOU WERE SKIVING ON THE JOB?!... no lahz... really nothing to do... 1st week is suppose to be familiarisation for me... for the time being got some kind office cubicle space for me... i think they're at a point of hiring new full-time staff so they juz let me "own" a space for a while... WAHHH! then suddenly... out from nowhere... now MANAGER wanna see me... but nothing spectecular lahz... another nice fella... he briefed me on the airport surroundings... some of the projects i wud be doing durin my time here... a bit of soccer... a bit of how screaming school galz at the airport when they see celebrities annoy him... very informal kind of chat we had... he n his assistant both rather easy to talk to i must say... he gave me a spare pass so tat i can enter the office for the time being till they process my application... so for now... farkz... must pay full price at the canteen... hahaz... i juz bring out the best of my cheapskate side dun i? hahaz... *nobody understands*
as usual... i wuz doin my own thing... checkin scool e-mail and half writing my blog at work when suddenly... mr abbas walked into my cubicle and said... "come... let's take a walk"... then suddenly all those movies of hearing tat line started floodin my head... it wuz either the guy nv return back alive or there wuz something REAL serious to talk abt... BUT SURPRISINGLY... we were on the way to the canteen for some tea... wahhh... 1st day then u bring me for drinks... i think this relationship is going too fast for me... hahaz... juz jokin... but anyhow... we had a short chat abt wat is expected of me here b4 more blokes started joinin in... wohhh... and suddenly... i wuz sittin wif the big boys... they started chattin abt their wives... their kids... their jobs... something which i DEFINATELY wasn't a part of... AHHH!... then they turned to the topic of soccer... wahhh... tat's when i started to join in... we were talkin abt how bad the england team was against france... how zidane bossed the midfield... how CRAP owen wuz and tat rooney is the only star in the team... i let it known tat i think portugal will take the cup... although they said portugal no chance... i still have faith in them... their silky skills... their good looks... their cockiness... all the makings of a champion... finished up wif tea... back to office... b4 i knew it... 6pm liaoz... time to go... will be back tomolo... hopefully i will be given something to do this time... i had enuff of reading the trolley maintenance and retrieval manual... *nobody understands*
