You must be wondering what is IISB or who is IISB or what the heck is IISB? Haha! you can try search Google or even try to ask Siri whether she know anything about IISB?
Actually IISB is my new company, and it stands for
IT
INSIGHT
SDN
BHD. I've been joining this company since July 2011. Hmmmmm.. *counting fingers*.. Ohhhhhhhh, almost close to 5months, entering half year being part of IISB. Isn't that fast? Felt like just joining this company like 1-2 months. But I've been through alot with this company eventhough it's just for such a short time.
I still remember for the second day joining this company, my boss brought me to meet customer, given me a task to prepare presentation slide in the first week itself.
After 2 weeks joining this company, I was given 3 projects to handle. Wtf! Will it be too fast bah? @.@ Thank God I manage to survive and thank God I manage to learn from it. I guess because of the struggle, after spending the effort in trying my best to learn from others, I was confirmed and promoted quite fast within 2-4 months time.
Nevertheless after being confirmed and promoted from application consultant to project assistant manager, the responsibility on my shoulders getting heavier, whereby boss will always keep you in the mails, regardless it's hot-burning cases or something that boss require you to follow up. Customers rushing for projects deadline, business partner rushing for user training, boss rush for timeline project plan, boss rush for weekly meeting, everything just rush and rush.
Anyway, I'm trying my best to cope and be myself in everything. *cross fingers everything will work out fine* OMITOTU!! ALILUYA!
Back to my journey with IISB, there were alot of milestone which I've marked in my memory being with all of them, all IISB's gals and guys!
Sports activityLet's start with the first activity that I can recall, Go Kart session with all of them. It's really fun, why? Since it's illegal to speed on the road, that's the only way we could push our pedal to the MAX without the worry of exceeding the limit and kena stop by "someone
and being asked for "duit
kopi".
#1 Around 20-25 of us takes turn to play Go Kart under the hot burning sun! To add on, it was at 12pm... As a result, I got complimentary tanned-skin. Wtf!
#2 Me after 25 of continuous laps on the field, with sibeh smelly helmet!
#3 Happily laugh with the "gelagat" from him who always be the clown in the office! Hahaha!
#4 We even build something "unique" during the game-session. What do you think it looks like?
Answer to be provided at the end of this post. Haha!Not long after that I was invited to the management retreat which was organized at Colmar tropicale, Bukit Tinggi, a 1 night stay trip. Basically this management trip is to discuss the goal and target of the company. Not sure why I was invited, they claimed I was talkative enough to give ideas. *Speechless*
Anyway, it was a great trip especially when we are away from office to enjoy easy breeze there.
#5 Yes, Management Retreat "Walking Towards The Future".
#6 all of the Bosses, HOD (Head of Department) and senior consultants and me!
#7 We also spent sometime to exercise, to sweat, to challenge each other by playing badminton over the sport house.
#8 Frankly, most of them are very playful, just like me. Adding me in, it make it even worst! Hahahaha!
Birthday CelebrationNot only that, as usual like other SME, IISB also organizing also of birthday cake blowing and cutting. No wonder I gained weight and the weight never comes down =_=
