Last & First Day

I began my first day @ TB branch on Thurs. Last day @ NB went by smoothly and Dar was really sweet to buy & deliver e Don's Pies & cheesecake to me to save me on the $12 delivery charges. :)

Have spent 2 3/4 years in NB... how time flies. I remember how unhappy I was (esp coz I had 2 do cash n I was soooo clueless n I was scolded by the chq clerk!!!) when I went there intially & I told Dar that I wanted 2 resign but he told me 2 hang in there n only resign if I was still unhappy 3 months dwn e rd. Thankfully I managed to pick up & get used to their procedures and also coz I had a lot of help fr some of my colleagues. My tellers who although more junior in rank than me were much more experienced than me n they were the ones who told me what were the thngs to look out for. Of coz I made some mistakes alg e way n got chided by my boss but it was fr the mistakes that I learnt & became more aware of the bank procedures. For some reason, after some transfer of staff, e few of us became closer and we often planned to go out for makan sessions & had a lot of fun in between :) Luckily they didn't make me give a speech on Wed but my heartfelt thanks still went to them so I dropped them a mail the next day... m sure gonna miss them n I was v touched by wat some of them wrote in e card. Nonetheless I know I will still keep in touch w them n I will join them for their makan sessions hee.

As for my new branch, well, I didn't particularly enjoyed my first day there coz I was sooo lost and the pp there weren't v frenly. :( I was left alone 2 try 2 fig out wat their work procedures were (coz I was doing cheques n everythng was so v diff!) until the clerk came n she filled me :) She was v nice but v chatty n disturbed me a little but I was happy to have someone to tok 2 hee. But we ended a little late so I wasn't v happy coz Dar was waiting for me n I was juz like sitting there waiting 2 go home haha. Ystd was a bit better, e pp toked 2 me a little more n we went off a little earlier, hopefully next wk will b beta liaos.

Was also telling Dar that I dun like this apprehensiveness of starting work in a new environment and I gota do dat twice in 2 months :( Of coz Dar, being Dar, told me dat wat's done can't be done n I juz gota do my work, dun stress n 2 months will pass v fast. I was actually sup 2 go to Pte Banking by 9th July but somehow it got delayed so I wasn't v pleased hee but bo bian lors, I m looking forward 2 goin 2 Pte Banking n I hope that I can adapt there n e pp n e working env there will be nice. Wish me all e best ya! :)
