HAPPY NEW YEAR!
It's 2007! Finally! Been anticipating for this year to come! 2006 have not been very smooth-sailing for me.. but come to think about it, it's not that bad. Except for some hiccups with my previous boss. My episode in the beauty industry is over... it's now the hospitality and tourism field.. wonder how I will fare in this line. Hopefully it'll be better.
Anyway, my previous blog reflected that I was bored on my first day of work.. but guess what happened for the next few days? I worked from 9am to 10pm for the next 4 days till countdown... to be precise, it's 2am on 1 Jan 2007! My weekends were burnt... but thankfully the 1st and 2nd were public holidays.. otherwise i'll collapse.
Seriously, after a few days of work with them, I realised that they need to make some changes.. especially with their working speed and preparation process. They should get all printings done much earlier prior to the event. Not wait till a few days, or even the day before to clarify and get the decos set up at site. This way, they won't have to work till 5am in the morning! I'm not sure if I can change their perception but I'll try.. cos I myself personally do not want to work till so late at night! Or rather.. in the morning!
Other than the working hours, the people there are basically nice and friendly. Been introduced to quite a number of colleagues, but can't remember their names. Faces yes, but names no. Oh well.. I'll give myself 3 months to access if I am suitable for this job. If yes, I'll continue. Otherwise, I'll resign...
But whatever it is, I must say that the Siloso Countdown Beach Party was an eye opener to me. I've learnt quite abit about equipments and how a big company organizes events. I've also received comments and praises about the VIP area, which also set up and coordinated by me. Hence, the job satisfaction.
One thing I've definitely learnt... is that you better get your own transport on new year's day. No cab! I waited for 2.5hrs just to get a cab! Totally crazy!
Anyway, wish me luck for the new year.. 2007!
