My First Day at Dell

I left home at 7 am. It was like going back to school days. I woke to the sound of my alarm on my mobile. Mom gave the ussual yelling as when I was in school. Heheh! Trevor... 6am!

Left home taking the Green Lane road. It was smooth. Listened to the songs of Disagree all the way. Hehe! I am in Disagree fever after going to the Hitz.fm Beach Party with Bennett a couple of weeks back.

Got there around 7.30. Made my way to the entrance and waited there for my Hire Manager to come at 9.

She showed me round the building and introduced me to my new colleagues! All girls! My "buddy" loves dogs! So it was easy to get into conversation coz we had something in common to talk about. Hehe! I learnt a lot from my "buddy" assigned to me to help me learn more about the system. When we were bored working she showed me sites of dogs like www.puppy.com.my .We went for lunch together with the office mates! It was nice! Nice canteen. Kinda like buffett at hotel. Prices are reasonable!

Met up with my cousin Rosalind and my new friend Fiona. Fiona's dad and my dad are friends. It was nice to finally get to know each other. We exchanged numbers. Coz at Dell ppl like to go mkn together. U can eat with the same ppl or can change around! Hahah! Everyone communicates on MSN. Met up with Edgar, a distant cousin who wanted me to join his department. But I dun really fancy that line of work.

I got a desk with a Dell pc but I am currently placed with my "buddy" to learn more. She's a real big help. It kind of makes it easy to make friends in a big organization coz she takes u around. So far I find them to be pleasent. I was nervous at first at making new friends. But they were friendly.

Tommorrow is another day with my "buddy". She shows me what's it like to handle different problems at Dell Customer Care. Oh yeah, I am assigned to cater for customers from Australia and New Zealand or in short ANZ. Next week I start my official training. I think with my new friend Joanne whom I met last Monday at the medical check up. Got a lot to learn to be honest. But I shall be optimistic about it.

I shall keep all my sweet friends posted. It's an interesting phase of life I would love to share. Perhaps it's a learning experience for those who are interested! Hehe!

Starting work... wish me luck!!!


Tommorrow will mark my first day on the job. Leaving the house around 6.45 am coz trying to beat the hectic traffic; ppl going to work and kids going to school.

I have yet to determine which route would be ideal. Some say use Penang Outer Ring Road ( something like LDP in KL) or the Green Lane Road. Green Lane has many schools on it so I dunno if it would be ideal or the flow of traffic would be smooth. We'll see tommorrow!

My new working place is a humble company manufacturing and assembling pc's for home and office use. It's located at Bayan Lepas near to the Penang Airport. Should take me around 40 mins to get there. Well, atleast I can drive my car more often!!! Heheh!

Basically what I am suppose to do is handle customers that call in. Their calls list from complaints, questions etc. that we must try to rectify and handle. It's an 8-5 pm job with 1 hour lunch in between.

I shall comment on what went on at the workplace in detail after I've started working there. Sure a lot to tell. Hahah!

Initially I wanted to get a job in KL. When I was in Penang, decided to try my luck. The offer was good with great renumerations and bennefits hence I said ok I shall try working here. Mom and dad are delighted with the decision. I get Astro, Streamyx and walking distance to Gurney Plaza or 1-Stop. How to complain?My dad had an idea to build another car park for me but I decline coz very troublesome and all. Ala, ppl who know me, I am practical type. Just park and masuk rumah! Heheh! The exotic food well comes in standard living in Penang!! Yahooooo! The nightlife here is great! Chicks galore of course! But u gotta becareful! Not all are ideal for any guy! Some are bitches!

My uncle told me ppl would wonder how come a Selangor plate car would drive like the other competent Penang drivers! Haha! Penang drivers u gotta learn them! Everyone wanna go places fast. So have to anticipate whose behind, front and sides. I sometimes get scared though to see how they drive. But keeping to my road ethicate I think can survive! Hehe!

Wish me luck on the job!!! :D

Why do u wanna start something I ended peacefully? Don't get it...


Well... what can I say? Someone has started the ball rolling!

I have been a victim of condemn and defamation! Well, I really trusted u and was going to go on to the next step if things went smoothly. But, there was a glitch resulting in me retreating from the battle ground to a place called 'safe' = separation.

After sooo long, u finally voice out ur raging anger and unhappiness to me INDIRECTLY. Thank you! Let everyone know. It's a marvelous job! Compliments to u! Ur message has well been transfered to everyone. But in the large arena of everyone, there are smaller segments who simply know the truth! I mean are they wrong to have opinions? No right? Their opinions was caused by what u did to them. I mean why the hell they would come out with false judgements of u? That would sound so fictional! Pinch urself to see if it hurts! Do it! We are in a real world!This is no Orange County show where everyone is happy always!

I think if there was anyone willing to start to say something it should be me of course! But I have put it behind me. I am not willing to blame anyone directly. It happen, it ended! That's it. I never bothered to worry or be upset by it. I faced it like a man ( 1 batang , 2 bola) u know? I faced the fact and acted accordingly to the situation when confronted by friends! It may be 2 days after the separation or 2 months or even 2 decades. But in the end they know also right? So does time matter? Or u just plan to have friends for a couple of years then junk them? This is not like toilet paper. U wipe ur ass, then throw the paper. Friends are a lifetime asset and I cherish them. If they need to know, let them know. If they are our friends, then why should we hide it from them?

I take it as a sign to clear ur tarnished name off the minds of ur friends! So u acted to pollute my name making me look like the villain and u can heroicly rejoice of being the winner! U obviously knew or were scared to be labelled. So u quickly came out with something so everyone knows he was wrong all the way. Why have I been so silent? Ever wonder? Coz I just want it to end there and not to make matters worst. Now u have started the ball rolling? U dun have to go round now showing ur lover, acting misserable feeling threatend by this. U know me, I am not going to do anything not that I am a sissy but just hey I am a mature individual. U started it, so it's wise I reply. Not that I am deffending myself. Just a response to what u said.

I know I am not perfect. I have failed. I failed to the point where I gave it up! Coz I know if I continue I shall continue to fail too. I was imperfect. I was wrong always. As I know it was a failure, it's better to depart then to continue. But why tell everyone so publicly? Are we on Oprah?

Sometimes, the best thing to do it's keep silent for a while. Now u making me feel even more disgusting towards u. Making me regret why I even bothered taking so much pride in u? Love came but sadly it ended. I also hurt and sad. There were problems. But why poke the finger at me? I takes to Tango. Not all my fault.

Anyway, I dun care anymore about u. What u wanna write just write. If ppl think I am satan's son so be it! I admit u have the freedom of speech! It's me and the rest of Malaysians that are told to shut up. Right? Hahha! Not racist but hey it's a fact! But this is not Malaysia, this is cyberspace! So ppl can respond by replying to ur criticism. Congrats by the way! Ur a "team player"! Hahah!
