a pretty interesting week.

it has been sucha tiring week, i think i'm getting used to the cyclic shift pattern. the night shift experience wasn't that bad 'cos i managed to stay up the whole night even though there were more than enough beds to have an hour's nap. it was the morning shift i had trouble with. not a morning person to begin with so it came to no surprise that i was late on my first and second days of the morning shift. it didn't help though that i was passed around from one mentor to another but i'm already getting used to it. though the OC did say that he will try to stick me to my current mentor.

anyways, my new working life isn't that bad. i kinda like it or i may begin to like it more after awhile. it's the presence of so many strange faces, strange female faces that got me on edge. my girls should know that i don't mix with other girls except them and my ite clique, so yeah. besides the whole lot of them are mostly malay girls. it's funny how i cannot get along with most malay girls. okay maybe i'm stereotyping all of them since, i haven't had the opportunity to talk with them so i shouldn't be judging them too soon. there are a few kindred spirits, a few were my mentors so i had a chance to talk to them. about 50% of the girls there have been in the service more than 5 years so there was alot to learn from them.

i've had a chance to do my hands on ojt and i find it surprisingly straight forward, especially the departure part. the arrival part, well there's more to do and take note of. but all in all, my current mentor says i'm doing fine except that i have a tendency to rush through the clearance.

she keeps reminding em not to rush through the clearance procedures 'cos even if i do things fast the crowd will still be there. that's about the only thing i have to take note of, never rush through the clearance.

for me, the only interesting part of working in this line is the chance to hold and look at different type of passports.

the only downside is that i look at hundreds of faces, repeat the same type of questions and sit on the chair until my back hurts and when it does, i'll be doing my job standing up.

i guess every job has it's pros and cons.

and that's about it, i'd better sleep since i'm going out tomorrow with mother to JB.

bye people. :)
