My days w PW

15 Feb 2006 – first day of work @ PW...started my first experience as a FA...i thank the mgr EK to hire me cos I had no prior experience at all...this day also started my deep interest in FA...

All in all, 2yrs 3.5mths in PW...what have I gained? To me, what I have gained are mostly the frens I’ve made + the work experiences I have gained...

Frens – just to list down a few ‘influential’ ones that made a difference in me, the list is not exhaustive...just that I cant list all of them down...
1. Su – when I first joined, she was the SFA in-charge of GHL...i was tasked to take over GHL from her such that she can have a more overview of the 3 hospitals...during the course of training w Su who’s a great teacher, I learnt a lot from her especially in being very detailed...n I absolutely salute the way she does proforma evaluations...from top to bottom with different scenarios/assumptions...so in my ‘growing up’, she has taught me a lot...n I really enjoyed my first yr budget w her...we worked very hard together...then when the mgr EK left, the Asst mgr was promoted to Mgr, the SFA to AM, then the most senior FA was promoted to SFA...i remember the mgr once commented that Su is very biased...she’s only good to me – GHL...but I disagree...the mgr herself is also very positively biased towards the MEH FA...
2. HH & SC – thanks to ‘that’ room @ 11th floor which led me to know these 2 frens...both had left PW earlier than me...but I’m happy that we still make the effort to meet up n also on msn...
3. PP – also a GHL FA for abt 5mths, someone who’s always in black / white...have always enjoyed our lunch, shopping n coffee...i’m surprised that within these 5mths, we have become closer n after she left, she still made the effort to drop by my office twice to visit me...really very touched by her gestures...
4. LL – she helped me ‘see’ a lot of things in a clearer way, she’s also a very good listener, good advisor, good fren...n thanks for taking half day off to shop w me...ha...
5. W – my colleague recently said, last time budget time see me always work till very late so she wonder, aiyo work till so late how to find bf? But who knows work till so late not a bad idea cos I met him in the company...ha, true in some sense...but it’s not because of working late then know him...anyway, to be able to know him in PW is a very amazing thing...i hope it’s the same w him...

Out of coincidence, all the above 6persons I mentioned have all left PW...maybe it’s because they have left, n still continued to keep in touch w me that made me especially thankful in knowing them...i will continue to keep in touch w them n those colleagues who are still w PW... :)
