I don't celebrate Christmas, so last night's Christmas Dinner was one of the rare few that I had been to.
It was great! The feast was a sumptuous spread of turkey, ham, spaghetti, shepherd's pie, yoghurt, etc. There was also log cake and chocolates.
It was celebrated with my Anergy colleagues, at Boss's house. I really appreciated how close-knitted the whole company is. We are all like a family. And it's really fun to be with them, cos they are all fun-loving people. Though I've only worked with them in 3 sentosa events to date, it feels as if I've long been part of them.
And oh, I've finally got a taste of Wii too! And the gift exchange game was fun, and we played 3 rounds before accepting the gifts in our hands!
The fun ended after 1am. And since my new-found-job is permanently night-shift, I'm going to continue working at Anergy in the day. After all, such a fun job comes by extremely rarely.
--------------------------------------
Ok i mentioned about my new-found-job. It's starting next week, 2 nights work, followed by 2 nights off. I'll be taking tourists' calls from the stb office.
As part of the training, I was attached to the Orchard's visitor centre yesterday and today. And really, I enjoyed it SO MUCH that I am even thinking of transferring here, after my call-centre contract expires in March.
Although ultimately, the job at the call centre and the job at the visitors' centre are the same--to answer the tourists' queries, I can tell how much better it is to be able to speak to them face-to-face, compared to just speaking over the phone. Being able to speak to them in person, it is much more inter-personal and I feel that I can convey the messages in a clearer way. Furthermore, I enjoy walking around and fishing for the various brochures that suit better to their needs.
Every tourist who stepped in wants a most pleasant stay here, and bearing that in mind, I would always try my best to serve them well and answer their questions. But, there are cases whereby I gave slightly wrong information too. In any case, when they appreciatively smiled at me and told me a grateful "Thank you, you've been so helpful!", my heart would smile. Every satisfied tourist gave me the motivation to make the next one better.
The 2-day attachment at the visitor's centre seemed so short. I would love it to be much longer. I guess it would be much boring after I'm back at the call centre. Especially when i'll be ALONE during my permanent midnight shift. There'll be no more tourists' smiles to keep up the motivation..
But still, I think I'll like the job. And I dare say, my knowledge of anything to do with Singapore's Tourism, from hotels to attractions to tours to anything, has multiplied since 3 days ago. And I'll definitely be more and more conversant, with every out-of-the-world question that every tourist ask.
人生是黑白的.
