Attachment........
Today I got a taste of what is coming to me in the next few months as I went for my work attachment at Bedok MRT. Well, generally, I like the job scopes and the responsbilities that comes with it.Being a station manager is not just being in the control centre of an MRT station only as so many have assumed or perceived (that is a customer service leader job), but it more than that. Basically the whole station is under the SM control and purview...
Of course I am lapping on the responsiblities as I can finally exercise my leadership skills and stuffs if any(hahahaha), and not just going around following instructions.....
So I am looking forward to the next few days of my attachment and enjoying it as it goes along hoping to learn as much as possible and then coming back to class and enjoying the remaining months before finally being certified and thrown back to the work force... Oooooh i love this job (for now....!!!)

Now that I am in the office hours shift, we get to meet every day however it seems that we dont get to do much things together...... I feel, I miss her so much and every night we would chat or most times she would have the conversation which I loved however we could not get a decent conversation for more than 10 minutes before I dozed off....hahaha Im' just too tired most times from working every single day which I am not used too....
*sigh*............. Sometimes being near is in fact being far.... Near at sight, but far at heart..... understand?? Dont understand???? *siigh*

It has been 3 days since I started on my journey to a new chapter in my working life. Currently I am attending a 3-months course at SMRT Bishan Depot and the class would start at 0815hrs till 1745hrs every working days.
I am used to working shift and the downside now is that, I have to wake early, around 0620hrs every single day and be like thousands of other who are rushing to work. It's only 3 days and I can barely open my eyes and pay attention in class. Consequently, I dozed off several times in class and was "caught"...hahaha (fyi: Coffee doesnt work..!!!)
And just today, it's either I'm just too tired, sleepy or my mind was on cruise control, I ended up entering into a female toilet. I did not notice the sign and there was no one inside. I "convicently" do my small business and was combing my hair when a female entered the toilet and went straight to a cubicle. I was more suprised than she did I guess as she seemed to ignore me. I went to check on the sign at the entrance and afterwhich, I dashed out of the toilet without even glancing back. Darn!
Anyway the course modules so far has been great as we would have classes in the morning and after lunch, we would have trips to numerous stations, for educational purposes of course. And the best of all, the trips on the trains are FOC!!!! SO nowadays like a true blue Singaporean, I chuck my motorcycle somewhere near the mrt and took the train to Bishan....hahaha
Anyway, I got my nice uniform sets and stuffs and next week, I be doing some hands-on, OJT (on-the-job-training) at Bedok MRT station...... So if anyone of you happen to be there, please look for SM Mohd Shahril......... Oooooh it's Station Master to you, mind you.........hahahaha

been a long time since either one of us have posted anything on this dusty blog of ours. i readily admit my guilt. so here i am back with some updates.
today is his first day @ his new job. last update frm him stated tht he's falling asleep in class where he's having his course! tsk... tsk... tsk! notty2. if they perform an audit/test darling.. i sure hope you remember what little information you gathered whilst you are awake..
as for me, i am catching my breath. the lift decided that it will be amusing if it broke down today. bleargh! so us lazy bums havta climb the stairs for a change. 3 whole storeys! the horror! never mind that we (@ least i am) in need of some exercise. never mind that we (okay i..) need to shed some pounds!
we find it such a chore to take the stairs. it is especially horrendous when you have been arranging books, huffing & puffing from all that squatting & standing & squatting in an attempt to make sure that the numbers are in running order. & that's not all! old dirty ugerly books have to be taken out from the shelves & reviewed! shelves @ level 2... workroom @ level 3! hands laden with piles of books, i climb the stairs... strugle to take my accesspass out of my pocket & scan it. by the time i am @ my desk.. i'm huffing & puffing like the big bad wolf.

After 3-4 days of going to and fro to my (former) work place, I finally cleared my locker, cupboard and all logistical stuffs with the various depts. It was quite hectic as I had to run around almost the entire building to various depts for their OC to sign and approved. Not to mention also, most times the OC are not around and I had to wait for quite sometime for them to return.
Anyway, after putting my last belonging in my haversack, it suddenly don on me that I would sorely miss the place and all the good things that had happened through my years there. A tinge of sadness but also relieved and happiness creep into me. I left, looking back for the final time. Hopefully, I will do my reservist at the same place with the same team. Or maybe not.... hahaha
Anyway, I am now looking forward to a greener pasture and starting live anew with my new found job. I just hope that I would love it as much as I had loved my previous one....

I have been clearing my stuffs at the work place for the past week. Yesterday, I managed to returrned most of my important documents to the various depts and packed my stuff in proper order for ease of carriage later in the week to finally end the week of hectic going to and fro from home to work place.
While packing, I did pause for a while to reflect the past 6 years of my work life and the wonderful time I had spent all those years. It was really quite a sad and emotional affair. At times I did smile to myself thinking about those moments.
Anyway, I would like to say a million thank you again to all for the wonderful well-wishes and gifts. The watch is a nice touch, to remind me not to be late always, huh???!!!..heehee appreciate it yah! Thankzzz to all again!
The quote, "You have not won anything until the fat lady sings" and I thought that the fat lady had started to sing and my winning streaks had came back. Apparently, the fat lady had stop singing and the last game against Rocher, we lost 4-2. Darn!
For now, I am enjoying life to the fullest and doing the things that I had always wanted to do but dont have the time to.... I just hope that I could enjoy this "holiday" for a little longer...haha
Till then......................

Finally, the lappie got connected after trying for the past 2 hours.. Damn! And not helping that the match between France and Romania was such a bore....
Anyway, updates on myself.............
The last week or so, was "requested" by my neighbourhood kakis to play a street soccer tournament held at a cc around Buki Panjang Ring Road. As I had more than enough time to spare albeit busy with other things, I agreed. However lately, our football winning streaks have being running dry and I am not so optimistic about winning. However I guess having no pressure at all help us to win the tournament with the final against a team from Bukit Panjang NPC...hahaha Although I did not score (as I played as a defender....) but Im happy with my contribution and how it turned out.
Anyway been clearing my leave and preparing myself for my new work. I have being clearing my locker and stuff slowly... I didnt now that I have kept so much crap all these years.hahaha Hopefully being able to de-kit my stuffs and clear all my belonging by this week. Yipeee.. Anyway the long break from the monotomy of work really does wonders to one health and state of minds... Anyway having some leaves to clear should really take a long break. Advisable!!
Was recall by the team, to play against our arch enemy, Rochor Team C. Hopefully did not slack to much that my stamina and skills goes south, just like my cash flow for this month.... Oooh yah talking about money. Did not get pay for this month and it sucks big time. Can't buy or go anywhere whch I like... Darn!
