Updates

Today is the release of the GCE "O" Level results...

Some are rather sad, some are rather happy while some are rather greedy...
Oh well, the results are out and it is time to move on...

The release of results don't really concern me. After all, i took it some 2 years ago and rather happy with my results...

However, the release of "O" level results means...

The GCE "A" Level results are going to be released soon!

Shit. *bite nails*

Hope i do well enough...


Anyway, the main point of this point is to do some updates...
Apparently, some of my friends who visit this blog thought i am now lazing around.
Oh well, they are wrong!

For thursday and friday, i got a job as a packer at Republic Polytechnic.

Huh? Packer? What the hell is that?

I was also quite shock when my agent inform me of this job. In my mind i was like, eh, engage those companies that specialise in transport can liao mah... why need me? But, a job is still a job. A income is better than no income.

It is only when i reach Republic Polytechnic than i realise that my job is not to move those heavy boxes from the offices to the trucks. *Phew*

Um, there is this department in RP called Office Of Registar(ORG) which deals with the admission of students. They are the ones who handle every application to study in RP by students across Singapore through the JAE(Joint Admission Exercise). Besides, they also handle applicants who apply through the DAE(Direct Admission Exercise) and not forgetting those foreign students. In short, if you want to study in RP, you have to get through them first.

Okay, my job is to help this department pack their stuff. Stuffs like brochures and stationery are just some of the things i have to pack into boxes. Basically it is to clear out stuffs from their cabinets, pack into boxes, seal them up, label them and that is all. However, this is not only what i do. The other thing i have to do is to shred papers.

Huh? Shred papers? Easy what!

It sounds easy bit it is not. The amount of things i have to shred is horrible. I estimate that if i stack up the number of papers i had shred, it would be around 100cm. Wow.

Sounds wasteful? I thought so too. BUT, i was told that they are confidential stuff, so no choice but to shred. So being the kpo kia that i always am, i took a peep first before shreding. the confidential stuff are actually the minutes of the meetings that the senior managment of RP held. But because they have been copied into soft copy, the hard copy are useless so... bye bye. Nothing interesting there... really. I read the first few lines and i gave up. Besides the minutes, i have to shred proposals too. The proposals are handed in by companies bidding to build RP permanent campus. The contents are full of pictures and they are rather interesting. However, because they use too much professional terms, i also gave up reading. But i must say the pictures are damn nice. Too bad i can't smuggle them out. Confidential hor.

So yup, my job for this two days is to pack things and shred papers. =)

Oh, i may sound suaku, but this is the first time i am using a shredder. My first impression of the shredder is that it is a cool thing. I feed it with paper and it comes out as shreds. Cool. However, when the paper got stuck, it is not cool anymore. I have to manually clear it so it can continue shredding more papers. Sianz. But nevermind la, a learning experience mah. So next time at work i will be able to use the shredder with ease and not be a suaku. It is better to be a suaku now than to be one later on in life right?

Got to go now. Got friend coming over to stay overnight to do project...
