The Chronicles of temp work at UniSIM - dedicated to my wonderful temp colleagues.

Alas, my temp job contract at UniSIM has come to an end. And I'm not saying this on a happy note. Believe it or not, I actually feel a deep surge of emotions going through me as I type this right now. I remember how I got this job through the agency. I was initially reluctant to pick up this temp job since I wanted a permanent job. But I guess it was fate that brought me to know these wonderful colleagues, 9 of whom are temp staff too.

Hereby, I dedicate this entry to all of you guys.


Kelvin Ng, my supervisor. My first impression of you was that you looked really "cute"(not in that sense ah!). But really, you look young and adorable for your age. Can't believe you are older than me by 3 years old! Anyway, thanks a lot for being such a super nice supervisor. Still remember how you always take good care of me under your supervision, giving in to my mistakes and all that. Thanks for the treat at Wine Hut, really generous of you! I don't think it's easy to have such a supervisor like you to come by in any other job, cos you really connect with us, being in our age group, like a big brother to all of us. Thanks for all that man. :)



That brings us to the next Kelvin, Kelvin Yip aka "meow". My first impression of you was that you looked franctic but enormously excited with your new job. And that proves so for time come. Still remember how you came to talk to me the first time. And boy, this guy really ran the whole show, like the second supervisor(replacing my seniority haha. jk). And your "meowings" would not be forgotten. And of cos, not to mention those shrieks and poses you made. Haha.


And here's Chin Hian. My first impression of you is that you are really very quiet, as compared to the rest. But realised we could still talk quite a bit. Know that you are super smart in your studies, and have a keen hobby in rearing fishes, which is really quite cool. Thanks for being a part of the group and joining the watching of "jackass" too! Haha.



Ah Guan!! Realised I don't have a pic of you taken with me. So I chose this "fa guang" pic of you! Hope you don't mind ya? Looks nice anyway. So cheerful! Haha. Anyway, you are just the "Mr Nice" of the group la. Everything also happy-go-lucky de. Helpful also. Still remember when I first heard you sing under your breath, I knew you could sing. And boy was I right when we went to KBOX, you really impressed me with that "Li Sheng Jie" voice! Thanks for the numerous chit-chat sessions back in office, or even laughing at my nonsense! Really nice to have you as a friend. =D




Hey Eric! My first impression of you was that you were very bold in your dress sense. From the first day you wore that formal office suit, I knew that this guy has something up his sleeves. Liked your sense of fashion, and noticed you always like to match colours, be it your shoes and shirt. Anyway, I liked your straightforwardness and the way you speak in Mandarin. Very clear pronounciation. Haha. Thanks for being so much of a part to the group, and always snapping photos and videos of us even when we were walking! Those videos must be precious memories to be kept! =)




ChongHui! Dude! You are the guy that brought me out of my "loneliness" back when I was still "single" back in office. Work life was pretty boring back then until you joined. Then we could click almost instantly. You are a really nice guy, humble and always listening. One thing I admire about you is your courage(well you should know in what sense. :P) Thanks for sharing with me so much about your life and your ambition. Good luck in the academy ok? Must always remember what I told you aye? Every perspiration is for your loved ones. Tough times don't last, tough men do. You take care dude! :)



Edwin 'zeh zeh'!!! You are such a colorful character to add on to the group, seriously. Your high pitch voice makes talking to you quite an interesting experience. And you can sing pretty well too! Haha, thanks for always crapping with me. Do remember to "meet your clients" regularly ya? LOL. Jk. Liked your fanciful t-shirts, especially every Friday when it's casual day and you would add a splash to your colorful outfits! Cool! Keep smiling always. And hey, what's up with that Malaysian accent? Hahaha.


ALI!!! HAhaha. Don't know why but kind of associated you with that name already, even though your name's Alan. You are yet another interesting character in the group man. Without you, I don't think "Siti" have someone to crap to. Haha. you two just very funny la, calling each other names. Thanks for always accompanying me around ya. See you like always so happy too. Must be because of my presence right? Haha. But thanks for what you said to me. Hope I have brightened up your days too. =D



Peijun! The most "girl" in the group though there are only 2 of you. Haha. I say this cos you really very "girl" la. What a coincidence that your sis was from JJC too. But anyway, my first impression of you was "Wah, your face always so red and blushy one hor". Haha. And I would always remember what you said about your hair being your most precious asset. Diao. K la, don't have to be too vain ya. Thanks for always laughing at my jokes, and sometimes giving me some friendly punches here and there. And also for calling me "Astro Boy"!! Haha. Heard you have a busy schedule. Do take care of yourself ya? :)



Ah Liang!!! You know what's my first impression of you? Your LAUGHTER. Yes. I remember the first time I spoke when you guys came over, I said "I'm their supervisor", you responded with a laugh. From then on, realised that you are really chatty, which is well, both good and bad? Hahaha jk. But really, you brought "life" to the whole group with your loud voice and laughter. And your "Hello", really very memorable. Thanks for always laughing with me, joining me in the "studio", singing away crazily with me, those duets, haha. And also showing your concern whenever you saw me "emo-ing". Haha. Will really miss you man. Spread your laughter and happy-go-luckiness to all around you yeah? =D


Some pics we took along this incredible, wonderful journey together...










As I mentioned, temp job, but not temp friendship. =)



And here's my big wide SMILE to each and every single one of you. Thanks for making my experience in UniSIM such a pleasant and memorable one. Wish you guys all the best in whatever you do. Do keep in contact k? :):):)
