My first week at work
Hey everyone..i havent posted anything in a long long time. But here I am with good news. Finally after waiting so so long, I managed to secure a full time job. And to me, that's such a big relief. I got the call from Michelle (now my manager) the morning of July 18. My excitement and joy over the news were beyond words. Was supposed to start training the next day. Unfortunately, due to certain circumstances, I couldnt, which was why I opted to go in for training starting Saturday that same week.
My life has some-what changed every since. I've had such a great week at work. Everyone is so nice and friendly and helpful. They've been training and guiding me thru work. Giving me tips and pointers, teaching me tricks of the trade, and everything else i need to know. Whenever i'm confused over something, all I do is look at one of them, and they'll come to my rescue! That's really how nice they are. As for the actual "work" itself, I'm liking it. Not too much pressure, not to stressful. Although it's fast paced, it's still fun. I have a strong feeling i'm gonna be loving my job a lot (so long as all contributing factors remain the same).
Oh and btw, for those who don't know, I'm attached to this company called Fitness First. It's a chain of gyms. It's a global corporations which first started off in the UK. It's like all over the place, even in Malaysia. I think there's one in penang too. Island plaza if i'm not mistaken. The perks of this job are great too. As staff member, we're given free membership (which would otherwise cost at least $80Aud per month), 50% off all merchandise sold, and what's best is that I don't have to report to work at 8am every morning!! Ideal for me, as i'm such a pig who's so NOT a morning person..haha!

May: Good on ya! sometimes the contract can be a real hassle. And i think u save money too if u don't use the gym like at least 4 times a week :)
Wen: yeah..u should try the gym..hopefully u'll be attached to a branch nearer to the gyms..hehe..so u can pop over during lunch break or after work.
Ai ling: Thank u so much! About the swimming pool thing, i think it depends on how big the location really is actually. Even here, not all the places got swimming pool, its only a few that has them. And yeah..i'm waiting to hear good news too bout my PR..hopefully soon *crossing fingers*
