3 days in the citi

i've been missing for the last 3 days including today...guess wad?

tuesday evening dat agent called mi for a 3 day assignment at a bank.. then never give mi much details also.. but i was thinking i got nothing on for the next 3 days then i juz agreed lor. or else no income also quite sad.

so.... at nite quickly went for a haircut to make it neater.. tried on my long sleeves and black pant. hah coz i never wore office wear b4!! and the next day 8.30 start work already!

The Place:
Capital Square, Citigroup

i worked at Citigroup Private Banking. Citigroup is not the same as Citibank. Citibank is a subsidary of Citigroup.. haha it's a bit complicated. and the place i work at is dealing with global stuff so all the top notch people are working there.

the security there is suuuuuper tight. once u enter u need the pass to take the lift. and the pass onli assigns u to one floor. but my pass is those staff pass so can go any floor. haha. AND once u reach the floor it's not so simple. u need another pass to enter the offices or u can ask somebody to bring u in. then first day i din haf the pass.. so it's quite troublesome..

and there comes the ultimate: the first day i went toilet.. wah it's super clean and good... feels like a 5 star hotel toilet. then after i'm done..going out.. the toilet door can't be opened!! then i saw the thing. THE TOILET DOOR NEEDS THE STAFF PASS TO OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!! AND FIRST DAY I DUN HAF THE STAFF PASS! OMG! so i was stuck inside for like 10 mins pretending to be washing hands while waiting for people to either come in or go out. -_-

The Environment:

first time working in banking and finance sector.. hm.. the office is quite dead.. as in not much interaction between people. quite cold. as compared to my previous office where people are always toking to each other.. laffing away.. but this is really cold. dun think everyone noes each other.

BUTTT my department is super farnie!!!!!!! esp. the boss and big boss's secretary. boss kenny is really super farnie.... and big boss's PA is like a big mama very motherly! and she very farnie also.. she loves to make jokes of kenny in front of me which is super farnie. ahaha so the whole department is unlike the other departments.. coz we are always so BZ then somebody will dabao lunch/dinner then we'll eat together in the office.. dat's when all the laffter comes but when work comes everyone's super serious.

one more thing. working there makes me feel very stressed and it's quite fast paced. which is good and bad coz time passes by SUPER fast but u haf loads to do. means OT late nites.

The Work:
-CONFIDENTIAL-

haha i'm doing odd jobs la.. juz going around helping stapling papers.. shredding papers.. printing... arranging.. packing... cutting all that. haha

first day i worked until 6.. second day OT until around 11pm! today until 5.30 coz i left from the airport. dat's why work 3 days and feels like a week and there's almost OT everyday coz another temp staff there tells me he always work until quite late.

AND..... i found out about LOADS of things in the banking and finance sector. really leant a lot of things and good experience. but i wished i could work longer there coz it's actually quite good pay. haha.. and the food there is SUPER NICE.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I HAF TO MENTION THIS!!

this is the first time in my life in Spore i've witnessed the tissue paper phenomenon. and the first time in my life i've used the tissue paper phenomemon. it's really facinating the first day i saw tissue papers on the tables and chairs. haha.. coz i'm always eating alone.. i asked the guy to help mi look out for my seat.. then he asked mi to put my tissue paper there so i did. then i bot my food... my seat's still not taken!! ahha it's really amazing.

quite uncomfortable wearing office wear coz not used to it. and the shoes keeps cutting my heels very pain.

working in banking and finance really puts u to another world. it's like a world of it own. quite scary seriously. my boss wears LV gucci prada and when we were having lunch heard he bot a US$1900+ LONG SLEEVE SHIRT last time. OMG. and his bag gucci, belt and shoes LV. watch prada. colleague also has prada bag. CKJ jeans. and u go to the carpark u dun see toyotas hondas mitsubishi. instead.. BMW.. Merz.. Porche.. Audi.. very scary world of its own. really.
