A New Start …Finally / Genting – 02/06/2011 (1st Day)

Everyone knows I am not happy in TnB at all.
Been nagging and nagging and nagging about I want to resign and find another better job,low pay is still fine for me.I just want to get out of that company asap.

Went for couple of interviews….took leaves…mcs…
Finally , I have received a call from Iyer Practice when I am on my way to JB on one Friday afternoon.
I am employed !!As Admin Assistant in Corp Sec Dept,will be under Gowri.

Iyer Practice is an accounting firm too,same as TnB.But Iyer Practice does not have any local clients.They only do accounts for overseas clients and they are very well established.
I read up some news on the net and found out Mr Iyer went overseas to give talks on finance / accounting / tax.
He is also a friend of Mr Nathan , yes our current president.
Which I feel is kinda amazing.!

if I remember clearly,i am commencing work in Iyer Practice on the 22nd April 2011.I tendered my resignation letter and left TnB end of March 2011.
Before I officially left the company,lots of hiccups,lots of troubles came up…
Police was even involved…Kinda sad.
As I dont know what is actually so serious about giving a wrong document to the client.And at the end of day,I have also submitted the form to the bank and the case doesnt involve any money at all.
No money was lost.I feel kinda sad cus Lily actually reports to the police about such a small matter and framed that I forge the form.

But , it is over.
I left TnB and gotten my pay .
Den it came the fees for the directors….

Lots of hoo haas….etc etc…But all are settled now.

As said,I commence work in Iyer on the 22nd April 2011.
After one mth,Mr Iyer called me for a discussion.In the meeting room,He told me that he called Lily and do a referral check on me.
Lily told him about I forge documents etc…So I was terminated from Iyer Practice on that day.

Kinda sad though as I really like to work in Iyer Practice.They are more systematic as compared to TnB.
And the best thing is they give out pay using GIRO , means I do not have to wait for the pay cheque every month end.

But too bad,I am only with Iyer Practice for one month and got to say farewell to them.
To Ummi,To Gowri and not to forget my nice HOD – Liana Cheng.

After leaving Iyer,I have been on a very active job lookout.
Been to couple of interviews,rush here n there…

Finally , I saw a job posting for Sales & Marketing Coordinator in Serangoon North.
Company call Rottapharm Madaus.
I was quite excited as Serangoon North is so much closer to my house,and the best part is I do not have to squeeze in the train every morning anymore if I am being offered the job.

So I send in my resume and waited for good news.
I think about 1 day later I send in my resume,I get a call from them.
A lady by the name of Tracy called , and say that I am shortlisted for an interview.

So I went,and found out that they are a Pharmaceutical Company.HQ in Italy and our distributor is Delfi.
Delfi sold chocolates but they are also dealing with medicine.
We are also part of Petra Foods.

Interview starts at about 11am , ends about 1 1/2 hours later…
Tracy is the one who interview me and the first impression she given to me was,she was quite fierce n stern.
Well spoken English and good body language.
I always wanted to be someone like her.
Always so full of confidence.

However,i still went for some interviews after the one at Rottapharm.
Tracy told me that I will be call in for a second interview with the Regional Manager next week.

So I waited …followed up closely with her too via email.
True enough , I received a call from Tracy after one week for a second interview.
On that same day,I have another second interview too with another company.But I just cant recall which company is it.

If I did not remember wrongly, it should be JDA .
JDA is a software company located at Suntec.

But then,they changed the face to face interview to tele-interview.
The director from italy will be calling me up on phone.
Interview went well too…

After the 2 second interviews,no one else called up.
So the only thing I can do is just wait for calls n news.

A few days later , we are going to leave Singapore for Genting.
Before we left,Tracy called and informed that I am being selected for the position of Sales & Marketing Coordinator with Rottapharm.
Basic starting pay will be what I expected and I am to commence work once I am back from Genting which is 6th June 2011.

So happy!!
Finally got a job!!Frankly speaking,at that point of time,I am just “hope to get a job” mindset.
Nv tot of whether is it good or bad,any good benefits,any AWS.

They allowed me to sign the appt letter when I start work.
And I can still remember that Tracy informed me one day before I left for Genting.

So we left happily for Genting cus I have already found a job!!

Woke up at 4 plus in the morning,get ready and left house at about 530am.
As usual,went 505 for light breakfast and headed our way to Golden Mile Complex.

Mingjun and Qianyu are supposed to join us this time. But Mingjun’s teacher Mr Yeo advised us not to let him go as his exams are coming and the school prepared some revision classes for them.
So Mingjun forfeited his trip and so do Qianyu.

In the end,Ah Siang took over Mingjun’s ticket and we lose one ticket cus Qianyu not going too.

But well,we still went with a very happy mood.
MIL and Weiwei took the bus from JB and meet us there at Genting.

Here are some pictures to share..

My Cousin - Ah Siang

Finally board the coach!!

Always Love To Make Funny Faces

Finally , we have reached Genting after 4 hours of journey!!
After reaching,we headed our way to the hotel lobby of First World.Took a queue number and waited patiently for our number to be called and waiting for check in.
When we reach,MIL and Weiwei also reached at the same time.
So we met at the lobby and waited together for our number to be called.

After waiting for about like 1 1/2 hours,We have finally gotten our room numbers!!
Yeah!!
Check In Time!!

MIL and Weiwei are sharing the room with us,so we will need to some shifting of the beds…
There are 1 super single beds and we decided to remove one bed out from the wooden plank .
So now we have 2 super single beds!
But one of them is hard plank lah.
Here the “big shifting” project.

Finally,we had the bed done!!
The kids making some funny faces after everything is done.
So happy !!They dont have to do anything!

After everything is done,We called mum and Ah Siang to have some rice dumplings.
MIL made some and brought to Genting.
She even brought “gi-zhang”.

So we had that,and have a short break.
At about 5 plus,we went out to First World Plaza,we are going to watch “Kungfu Panda 2″

Here we are!!
We separated into 4 – 4 cus limited seats!!

Yes,we are watching Kungfu Panda 2 in 3D!!
I think is because they only show 3D in Genting…
However,all of us enjoyed a lot!!Laughed nonstop.
PO came back with more n more nonsense…
Hahahaha….

After the movie,we intend to go for dinner.
But seriously , dont know which place to have our dinner.
Den Ah Siang suggested one place.
It is right behing Old Town White Coffee cafe.
A economic Zi-Char.
The food arent that bad either!!
We definitely enjoyed it!!

Prawn Egg

Sweet & Sour Pork

Fried Sambal Kangkong

Hot Plate Toufu

Prawn Paste Fried Chicken

Thanks Ah Siang for the bagus recommendation!!
We have also taken some pictures while eating..

You can see all of us are simply enjoying our food!!

After having  our dinner,we went back to our room.Let the kids bath and the adults went casino.

So the kids stayed in the room,and we went Casino .
Some hiccups happened …

While we are in the casino,somehow we splited up and Ah Siang went to play his games himself.
Actually we did not tell Ah Siang a place to meet also if we get lost.
In the end,mi and Dear went around the casino to look for him.
Went upstairs….
Just cannot find him.

In the end,we decided to go back to our room without him.Hopefully he will be in the room.
But when we get there,he was not there either.
At that time is about 2am plus already…
Kinda getting worried about him.

Mum say she is afraid to stay in the room herself so mi and Dear decided to accompany her till Ah Siang come back.
I dozed off while waiting…
Woke up at about half an hour later , and he is still not yet back .

Mum was getting real worried.And Dear volunteered to go around and look for him.
After Dear left the room,at about 15 mins later.
We hear the door open….Actually i have already latched the door.
I shouted …issit Ah Siang…

Ya indeed , it was Ah Siang.

He really get a scolding from mi man….

So I called Dear and we went back to our own room to rest…Think that time is about 3 plus alreadi…So damn tired..

The next day,we woke up at about 10 plus.
Meeting Ah Boy at the macdonalds..
He is really kind,helped us to buy the amusement park tickets at a staff price.

All right !!Thats all for Day 1 at Genting!!

Part 2 coming up!!
