A Brand New Year, A Brand New Job
11 January 2010 was the day that I started my new job as Assistant Vice President of Training at OSK Investment Bank. It was such a trying activity as I now live very far away from KL and have to commute to work everyday to be at work at 8.45 am.
Wow ... talking about valuable time. People at OSK really know how to value it! So, I start work on this day and I was late. I reached the basement parking at about 8.40 but couldn't get a space for my car until about 8.50. Finally, one spot was waiting for me. I rushed to the 4th floor to meet Siew Feng. Little that I know we had to attend a briefing before starting work that day. And I was LATE. Every eye was looking directly at me when I entered the KL Room.
After the short, uninteresting, boring briefing, I was brought upstairs to Level 20 where I will be situated from then on. I was introduced to my immediate superior, Cheok, and then the rest of the team. I was very impressed with the warm welcome and the flower and card on my new table! Never had I been welcomed like this before in my entire 12 years of working life.
A few moments later, Cheok called me into her room and briefed me about my schedule for the next 2 weeks. I was happy. They are organised and I am lucky to be in this department.
I hope and pray to Allah that my tenure here will be a memorable, learning experience as well as lucrative one for me, insha'Allah...
