life after training.

hola people! just another random update from me. i have officially started my job. not to say i didn't get paid all along. but yes, the drift is finally here.

first day has been awfully challenging. but on the second day, it was easier on me. i can't wait for the coming next week, because then i really get to focus on what i really have to do.

last monday and tuesday were spent at PD for team building. though i was at first, dreading it, it turned out to be awesome. the activities weren't as heavy as activities i had during my foundation team building.

had a very very bad stomach when we were on our way to PD. just had to make the bus driver make a stopover, fml. i look like a happy child thank you.

one of the activities. repelling, just the same as absailing. the last absailing i had was 3 storeys high. now it's 9 storeys high, fml. if you knew me well enough, i am afraid of heights. but surprisingly i did very very well. i was mighty mighty steady as compared to others, who were crying, shivering/shaking, shouting at the belayer. i just went down when i was told, brave me.

my trusted main belayer. the other one down there is tim, is he even qualified to belay me wtf. but i did well. we had other activites such as night orienteering, but how do we take pics in the middle of the night in the jungle? pfft.

that's me, in the air. haha.

at the end, our graduation. very emotional, but not as emotional as what i have for you below.

on the last day of training, was our presentation. so we spent the night before scribbling little notes because the presentation is very important. we had wealth management people and branch managers over, so it was tres important.


still my colleague now.

very corporate like. diana's introduction.

while waiting for our turns to speak.

my presentation was very very successful. haha i can't possibly say my presentation is beautiful right. perasan. but it was good because everyone was actually listening and paying attention. unlike a few people who presented, especially the second group, where there were branch managers falling asleep. it was too long and lengthy. and being the last group, we tried very very hard to cut everything short.

then after lunch, we were all being very very emotional because during lunch...when diana said 'aww, this is ur last lunch together', she starting pouring tears, and that made me cry also. and everyone was like 'wtf?' we came to this training as very different individuals, and fought to find our own friends etc. there were significant age gaps, but surprisingly all of us got together very very well. we bonded over gossips, pepper lunch, SHOPPING and more SHOPPING.


so after lunch, we were given the opportunity to speak a few words. and they volunteered me the last. because even my closing presentation almost made them cry, likely, my speech would make them cry. i didn't even have to say anything, i just stood there, and lydia started the tears. and as i spoke, it's so weird because the guys started to tear as well.

sorry for making you people cry! i miss training already! thank god i still see diana when i am willing to take a walk to dataran, which i usually do. =)
