My first day at work at HSBC...

Heez... so proud of myself... I actually reached the office half an hour earlier before the start... Haha... tat's bcoz I always believe first impression counts... Anw, I am having like 12 days of in house training with another 5 fresh graduates... seriously I feel the stress here coz 4 are from either NTU or NUS and another a diploma holder with relevant experience... can't help it but I can feel the inferior complexity emerging within me... Help... I need to regain my CONFIDENCE... !!!

Plus I was given a thick stack of lecture notes to study and familiarise myself with the relevent and necessary procedures... Hmm... and there goes my weekend... got to study and prepare for a test on Monday... And know wat... they are not MCQs, but 5 essay questions...

Well... because this is a foreign bank... the pool of customers that we will be handling will be entirely different from those of local banks... it involves a broader scope and variety of banking products and procedures... And there will be a test once every month throughout the term of employment... Hopefully... I will be able to make it through this and take it as a stepping stone to embark on the next step of my career...

Shit... only now that I realised that my name is such a common one... there would be like 3 phone bankers named adeline (including me)... naturally, I would have to take on another name... haiz... unfortunately all my preferred choices... ade, hazel, faith were all not available... unlucky right...? So I had no alternatives but to settle with Dawn (suggested by my trainer coz of the one syllable and ease of remembering)...Haha... And I am so not freaking used to reacting to this name... Guess the only consolation here is that I can seperate myself from work and leisure... put on that 'dawn' mask to show my professionalism while handling customers and taking it off to be my real self while at leisure...Sigh...I don't like this... Dread it man...
