kahhan is
entering a new world soon

Have been working for almost 3 weeks now, and I realised how much I have grown in the company despite the short duration.

Starting out as a fledgling character who knew nothing about market research, I had to sort out surveys with my friend, and at times it really felt like sai gang. Papercuts, seemingly time stopped in motion, fatigue were common experiences for the newbie like me.

Slowly, our 'talents', or complaints, became obvious to our supervisors, so we got 'promoted to do other work. It became more 'fun' in the sense that we didn't have to get stuck in doing boring admin work all the time. Soon there were more opportunities and we grabbed them. Even though it was tough doing those surveys, the challenge seemed more thrilling than sitting in the office and staring at the lifeless monitors, typing our lives away.

Somehow there was still a sense of belonging to this seemingly small but close-knitted company. It was probably because of the size of the company, that the stereotype of a hierachical company that I always knew was broken. The boss never minded sweeping and watering the plants himself. He was always joking and talking to his staff. You will feel like doing work still, no matter how tough the previous assignment was.

Even though it is just a part-time job and the pay may be meager whenever I mention it to others, people do not realise the overall wealth I have reaped. There are intangible benefits behind the per-hour wage I received.

Working wasn't as bad as it seemed.

Now it's time to imagine how NS life would be like, and be prepared for it. *gulps*
