2 weeks into temp working life
Supposedly, I've applied for a temporary job that lasts for 1 month as a packer. From Yew Tee to the work place take me almost 1 and a half hour of traveling time.. ( Jurong Pier Road ). I'm feeling puzzled to why APL Logistics, being a reputable logistic company will have bad management procedures, inexperienced supervisors as well as bad inventory management. There will always be things missing, and confusion within the team as to what are the goals and how we can improve ourselves. Hiring more than 10 Temp " packers " when only 2 of them are actually packing, while some of them are doing picking and the unfortunate part is that I'm paired with a quiet guy and are forced to not learn picking / packing and only doing relocation of cartons. Many temp part timers are also terminated despite only being there for less than a week. Felt like a slave for 2 weeks because all I did was wrapping the boxes together that are placed on the pellet and making boxes for the pickers and packers.
However, this job helped me know more people around me. Knowing a few more people who are also studying in Polys that joined in the suffering. Haven't got a picture with them though, so I hope we can have one soon and I will update it by putting the picture below the text. The people whom I'm close with during these 2 hectic weeks are Jia Ning , Ryan , Ban lee , Amos and last but not least, Matt. ( a full timer and also my group leader who takes care of me in the job )
Went to Jia Ning's house-warming yesterday. I guess we are a little too young to be exploring someone's house, especially when I barely know her and would be rude to look around the whole place. It was so awkward with the huge amount of people so we sat in her room and sang karaoke with songs playing from YouTube and being cast on the TV which is facing the bed. Amos and Jia Ning have mutual feelings for one another but Ryan seems to still continue being persistent and tries to salvage whatever chances he can have, regardless losing friendship. I find it pointless, I'd rather he move on as it can NEVER be love at first sight. They only met for 2 to 3 weeks, how can you possibly know her within that short period of time while working too. For myself, I didn't love Yu Jun immediately either, it was just a build up which probably took 1 year or so that I felt something for her and decided to chase her, but obviously I still failed and destroyed the friendship I treasured most. Wished there is a reset button where I can change my plans on expressing my feelings for her? Could things have changed for the better where I could have be holding her hand walking down malls along Orchard Road.
