My reflections in RBS and the everything around me

Wow... Time sure pass very fast over at RBS.
I mean its like 2 months plus ago, i was still searching for a job.
And now its like the contract is over.
Oooh and btw, me is working at RBS : Royal Bank Of Scotland @ One Raffles Place, ORQ. Level twenty sumthing. ^^
Happened to knowe some totally cool people over at RBS.
Namely : Wind, Isabelle, Eileen, Daisy, Alice, Glory, Evelyn, Jean, Kayo Ota ..
Bosses : Aileen and Yvonne the Antenna
The Gossip and monopolizers of SG Trade Team : Lisa, Joey and Jacqueline.
So weird.. The time i started here, was like everything also dunno.
Have to ask around for some help, and two weeks later, i am on my way already to helping out the bosses.
But seriously, its very tiring, waking up daily at 645am ~ 7am -- 1245am ( time that i sleep!!) and the cycle repeats again.
Happened to go for 2 company/dept dinner. Got to know every1 inside there, or at least most of them. Cept for the boss. He is a super cold Snowman. ~~ Whenever he walks, he leaves behinds a trail of ice and snowflakes*figuratively*. And is quite cold to every1 also.
zzz. No Hello, no good mornings greeting, no watsoever. LOL. Not even to the regulars in office.
Den this female senior person. Yvonne The Antenna.
Why i call her the antenna. hahaha.. U wouldnt believe it even if i tell u so.
I was on my phone, talking, so softly... and she came up to me saying " Try not to make to many personal phonecalls .Btw, i heard u talking from my desk. " Literally, she can hear me from over 15m, plus telling me that i am talking loudly? zzz.
Talk about pot calling the kettle black. Hypocrisy indeed. She talks like hell.. nobody's biz... and talks so loud, that we even know
what the arguement was about,if there is an arguement.
This sentence left me speechless for at least 20mins. I couldnt comprehend how she was able to hear me talk, or know that i was talking,
Maybe i have been bugged by her. My phone and my clothes. Cant seem to think of other reasons lehh..
LOL Thats why i and every1 else seems to agree that she is deemed as the super antenna cum LOUD HAILER.
Wind left about 3 weeks ago, and i was the only guy available, apart from the boss. So daily lunch hangout would be the gals@work
Places range from Lau Pa Sat to Shenton House to Hong Leong Finance Building, cos walking and queueing up to get food. takes up a lot
of time, and looking for seats take even more time. Its soo pack, that u see an empty slot/table, use the packet tissue paper,
throw it there, and the area belongs to u. Talk about ~chopping of seats~ in Singlish and Singapore style. Urs truly.
It really feels nice to be here. Know ppl of all levels, bosses and acquaintances, associates, underlings(whoops).
Haha.. Just joking.!!! No underlings..at all. If not the bank would be labeled as a criminal organization already.
So, as i am bloggin now, there should be about 2.5 weeks left till before i enter the ns.
a period of 2 yrs!!
Ooh well.. have a open mind, and everything will pass soon enough.
Also.. Very sorry, didnt manage to blog, as i was just super busy and forgetful.
Not to mention very tired from all the work and things like tt..
And this sunday me will be going overseas with my family and cousins... for a nice last holiday before going into NS. Really thanking them for this.
Even thou the economy aint doing that well, as well as recession and the Wall St in USA NYC collasping due to all the offshore banks merging and things like tt, we are still going together as one. Nothing beats having family and friends and every1 for comfort.=D
Will be putting some pics up soons.. so pls bear with this super long post.
Take care peeps!!
