My very First job

14th Feb 2011 was supposed to be a very memorable day for most people, but I'm more than proud to say this very date confirms my employment with Maybank. So I'm officially a Maybanker now. My first day started off at 8.45am, of which I shall give credit to Menara Maybank for doing a impressive job, of which they had staff guiding us upon opening new account, taking the photo of us for our Maybank passes, and also, leading us to different department of which we were assigned.

As soon as my two other new colleague and I reached my department at 28th Floor, we were introduced to all the colleagues and our Head of Payments and we were placed accordingly. To my surprise, that department comprises of at least 70% chinese of which I really do think it is a rare sight in Maybank. And so my day in Maybank begins. That very day is nothing but boredom. We were given a manual and we were expected to study each and every of the product. So we figured out that we need to photocopy it so that we can read it back home. Therefore, my first task that day is to learn how to operate the photocopy machine.

By noon we had one of our colleague asking us to join for lunch. That walk to the restaurant is a hell to me. My heels is hurting my toes. Anyway, lunch is great because my stomach had been making weird sounds since morning. And many thanks to my colleague who foot the bill. After lunch was again, BORING. Imagine yourself study 3cm thick manual for one whole day. I'm bored to death.

5.45pm is our happy hour! But being new in the department, I questioned the possibility of leaving punctually at 5.45pm. I ended up sitting there for 15minutes more before we were told that we can actually leave. Ah, what a day! =)

First day is always that nerve-wrecking. You can literally feel your body temperature fall way below than normal, you have your hands all cold and sweaty, and you are often loss at words. But I like my colleagues, and I think that department is quite a stress-free one. Or at least, I hope so.

My office! =)
