Sunshine After The Rain

Dear got me a new ring last weekend. It is the excate same design like the one I had lost. the shop was having sale at its branches and there were loads of people, still we managed to get it after waiting to be served for so long... hehe... From that night onwards, i no longer cried to sleep, no longer felt that Dear isn't beside me. after 4 long days that felt like eons, I finally felt safe...

One week at work, so far so good. Although i'm doing excately what i used to do at EM, its slightly different here at CPCA. Here we have to PGI and invoice ourselves, at EM, after warehouse PGI, the invoice will auto generate by the system the next day. At EM, the warehouse prepares the COA for us, we just have to add in customer's details if L/C calls for it, here, all COA's are done by ourselves and each one needs to have customer's details on it. SICC COO is done electronically over here, not like at EM, where its manual and we have to ask PTC to help us bring to SICC for endorsement. We also have to type the insurance cert ourselves, whereas in EM, our colleagues in Thailand do the job.

And i just started to realise that its not only EM's "ah neh" customers' L/C calls for loads of nonsense shitty docs, all "ah neh" L/Cs are like tt... they even need a fax report to "prove" that u had actually faxed over the docs to the customer. When at EM, i used to hear Faridah complaining abt these L/Cs cos sometimes they ask for more types of docs then they usually do. and since i was doing Philippines customers' L/Cs, i already think that they are troublesome enough... now i really know her pain after going thru these more irritating L/Cs, really can faint and make your blood boil... esp after the decrep list comes back...

But its the same old story... customer chase for docs even when the vsl has just left in the morning. Luckily, i dun have to bother with emails... haha... all i would need to so is to do docs, that's all. but then again, i still cant escape the calls for chasing b/l drafts to come in and the calls to the bank to nego the L/Cs. Shipping documentation is fun... esp the L/C part. I always aim for no descrep, one time clear. Hope i'll be able to achieve that here!

But this is only for 2 months, i really need to get used to it fast. cos being familiar with the customers and the requirements really helps, just like at EM, open one eye, close one eye still can do. But here, have to really concentrate n think n remember hard... after almost a year never touch SAP system, it really feels a bit weird. Even going thru the menus seem hard... have to click here n there b4 i can find certain things. damn, i have to get familiarise again... but then again, mayb the layout is a bit different, so i'm a bit 'lost'...

Having a 2nd round interview with the record store on Monday. I hope to get the job so at least working on weekends can bring in a bit of money. But i really leave it up to God to judge if my health will be able to take it. If He knows my health can take it, He'll let me sail thru the 2nd interview and get the job. If not, I wouldn't get it. Papa in Heaven, i leave the decision to You k...
