Hello everyone!!

How are you doing?

It has been a long time since I updated my blog.

I read back all the blogs that I published previously, and I noticed that I had lots of typos and grammar mistakes. Although I am still having now but better than the previous me.😁 I guess?

Time passes by so quickly. It is really damn quick!! It has been 7 years since my last post!!!

By the way, I am from a college student become an office lady, and no more studying for me.

Here’s my story after I graduated from KDU (it is a very long story, be patient ya).

After I graduated from KDU I joined a company called Tefal as a customer service executive but I was an external employee. This means that I was hired by another company but work at Tefal. I was hired by Tiong Nam – the logistics company. I could say my life was tough while I was working there. Endless jobs and tasks. I started my work at 7am in the morning but left the office around 7pm – 8.30pm. and reach home around 8pm – 9pm every day. It's EVERY DAY!!! I have no life when I work there. I worked for 3 months and they wanted to extend my probation too. So, I decided to resign.

I have finally found a job in Halliburton as an HR Employee Service Center. It was a shared service. My time at Halliburton was wonderful and happy. I guess? Although there are lots of sweet and sour memories. However, I was retrenched due to COVID-19. I guess everyone knows what is COVID-19, and yes I lost my job. I have been working at Halliburton for 3 years and due to this stupid covid, I lost my job and did not even get promoted.

Therefore, I started searching job again before my last day (luckily they informed us in advance before I was retrenched). I joined Shell as an HR Operation Advisor and handled Singapore employees. I liked the ways of working in Shell at first but slowly I noticed the workload was a lot more than the time I joined. I was okay with the workload actually but as an HR we still had to answer the calls from the employees which is unreasonable in my opinion and it sounded like customer service. Also, you know most Singaporeans like to complain (some only but not all). They like to complain about this and that and always come out with creative questions and answers. I am like if you want to work in Shell, you have to follow the rules and regulations and Shell is not your company you can’t ask whatever you want. But the reason I resigned was not because of the employees nor the workload it was because Shell was located too far from my house, it took around one and a half hours for me to travel to the office and another one and a half hours to travel back home. It still has not included the petrol and car maintenance, road tax and insurance, maybe?

Therefore, I joined Schaeffler Malaysia after I left Shell and I was regretful on my first day. 😔 The reason was I was so used to the training and guidelines that Shell was provided. We have lots of training (for 1 month) before we start our actual work in Shell. Also, we have lots of job aid to refer and we can ask our buddy if we have any questions. Let’s circle back, the reason I felt like want to resign on my first day was due to nobody was guiding us and that management just let us die without helping anything! I was so disappointed and regretted why I left Shell. But luckily, I met a bunch of nice colleagues and they always helped and listened to my nagger and complaints. We always had lunch together and gossiped about work, people, and so on. In the end, I resigned and joined Halliburton again but based in Singapore.

I interviewed for the position of HR Operation Partner based in Johor before I joined back. But I failed the interview... But in early November 2022, Zhang Hui the HR Supervisor reached out to me and asked if I was interested in joining Halliburton based in Singapore but as an admin? I initially rejected it as I like to work in HR and of course, HR has more salary compared with the admin. But she said HR will need to restructure in 2023 and there will be a position opening. You guess what? I accepted the offer, and I am working in Singapore now! Not sure if I can become an HR or not but let's see...

I will end my stories here and will disappear again! Stay tuned if I can stay in Singapore or go back to Malaysia. 😂 I miss Malaysian food so so much!! Especially NASI LEMAK!!! The sambal in Singapore is not spicy at all!!

Thank you for reading my damn freaking long story!

See ya!!
