[ Wynteria's ]

1 week has passed since I started my training at Penang. On the 5th day (Friday) of work, I fell sick. Fever + Sore throat + Body Ache + bla bla bla…. cough… I’m burned out. Occasionally, I’ll have diarrhea cuz Penang’s food is always not that clean……

Life is really tough here… having no driving license just make everything worst. Its so hard to get around in Penang with the limited public transports. I’m so used to LRT, ERL and Monorail that I didnt realize the importance of having a driving license. Getting to my training place is a bitch’s life. I had to spend 2 hours doing nothing…… Ara’s parents have a car (Kenari) for me to drive, auto sumore…. but I couldnt drive it….

At this point, I’ve begin to wonder……. was my decision a mistake? I felt that I’ve made a mistake….. In the beginning all I could thought of was I couldnt be separated from him. I wouldnt be able to bear it… and I do not like being at home cuz my big bro’s and his bitch were always there. I only found out recently that they have “sorta” moved out from my house….If only I knew earlier.. Besides, my younger bro has already taken over my room.. I felt that I didnt belong to there anymore. but…. nothing is better than my own home… I like it here.. but I miss my own parents…. Although they might not treat me as good as caring as Ara’s parents, but…… I guess they have their own way of loving me….

And, Penang motorists are CRAZY!!!! I really hate the motorists here. They drove like they are the kings of road! I really really hate them to the deepest hell… There are so many of them and drive so fast… ARrrgggGhhh!!!

My training place is so shitty that I was at the verge of dropping it. Its really hard there. Supervisor is an ass. Fuck Him. Hope you die bastard! I emailed my MMU Supervisor and they said they couldnt do anything about it…… hopeless MMU. EAT SHIT!!! Only know how to collect our money~!!!

haihz…. life………………………………………….. i fail terribly in this subject….

Alright. So… a lot have been asking how was my first day of work. Well…. IT’S SUCK. Okay. Maybe a bit exaggerated…

Okay. I was fooled by the presentation of the company’s website, and the building as well. They made it looked like they are a huge ass company. But in reality, the office consists only 8 permanent employees, 4 were Executive Officers for Technical, Management, Admin & Finance, and Customer Service. They only have 3 normal workers. 4 were interns, including me.

When I first stepped in, the conditions of the office horrified me. The airconds were SO OLD, the tables are messy, and there were NO COMPUTERS provided for the trainees. The whole place were practically run-down like a rat hut.

And when I was briefed at the Chief of Technical Officer’s room, his shelves were made of FEDEX boxes……… He just briefed us about our job scope. What we need to do. He didnt even explain about our allowances, leaves, working time, working attire, facilities, etc etc etc…. just work work work.. what? we are your slaves?

I think this company just depend on trainees to cut cost. As far as Im concern, there wil be a lot of projects coming soon. He mentioned about revamping a few portals and website. Here is were we will be slaved.

Today I did some “productive” work… The Senior assigned to me, Mr.D asked me to correct the grammars of a website. . . I did as I told. The english were so horrifying I dont understand a single thing! I had to read again and again to rephrase the sentences. Then Mr.D was some sort not satisfied with my work, he had Ms.F (another senior) to correct my paragraphs…. And she uses “A CHINESE-TO-ENGLISH Dictionary…….” Fine. Whutever. I’m da nub.

Second task was updating the Rapid Penang’s website. Simple task. I had to use notepad to code it cuz DreamWeaver doesnt like me. It couldnt be launched for X-Reasons.

Colleages were not so friendly. Not the social type. Only Mr.D who sits next to me talks a lot. Yap Yap Yap Yap… bla bla bla…

My work starts at 10am… but I have to wake up at 6am to follow Ara’s parents to work. They’ll drop me at Komtar and I’ll have to wait until 9.30am only walk to Melaka Street. Then my work finish at 6pm and they’ll have to wait 1 hour for me to pick me up…. so troublesome…. haihz…. sienz……… why I cant drivezzzzz….

four months… how I gonna go through this?
