I'm still alive, not yet drowned by bricks firmly tied to my feet. Now working at AIA Tanjong Pagar where all the happening stuff is. Heard of Keong Saik brothels? Yeah, just directly below me. Duxton Hill? Directly across the road. And no, i'm not an agent, so I should not be expecting to see no one on my msn when I log on tomorrow. Good food is aplenty, still have to slowly source out the good and worthy. Work is fun, relaxing yes but definitely not when looking at tonnes of figures. My tutees' parents' agency, they're the boss, i'm the employee. But i'm not grouching over the lower than usual pay though, everything's a learning experience, over here, I get to see the life of an agent, their woes, what they deal with, and of course learn the ropes of business, marketing and definitely insurance.
But for now, i'm tasked with rather heavy responsibilities, no, i'm not a clerk there. I'm an "unofficial" intern there. Tasked to do recruitment, internship, webbies, progress charts...yes, things i've never done before and i'm not whining, i'm loving this experience and this workplace...and very soon will be learning those programs thingy and hopefully by the end of my work period, will be sufficiently armed in the field of insurance and marketing. Hopefully property too if I get a chance. Well, working closely with the secretary of my bosses, nice girl...haha...a surprised coincidence of sorts which i'll explain why.
First day at work, just conversed a little, she doing her stuff while I was till busy 'adapting' to the new environment. We were chatting when she asked where do I stay and to our surprise, we just live on opposite sides of the road! So much for coincidence...and she's my age, but a few months older. And today got to know her friend, another agency's secretary and also my age! Damn...and all older than me...So i'm officially the youngest...somewhat rather, everyone there from the security guard to the agents say we have the sibling's look and so we became 'unofficial' siblings! So now we've the da1 jie3, er4 jie3 and xiao3 di4. Mum and dad required, positions opened for registration now! Lunch and office work are no longer boring with them around.
Just something more interesting, guess everyone should know by now that there's this drink called "Anything" and "Whatever". Some lame advertisements they have but they are gaining publicity. Well, not going to talk about the drinks, haven't tried either of them. But there's this book-cafe just below my office, know as 'Whatever' too! Hmm....looks interesting and nice, shall check out or organise an outing there someday. Let me just research on it more...
Till then....
