Music: Muse - New born
Okay, first. Thanks to those who cheered me up, really appreciate it. Feeling much much better after I started doing my calling job. In fact, besides being emo about my results, I regret choosing this job.
But well, like my team leader and others said, "slowly.. now is just the beginning". BUT shit, the starting point is killing me already. It got nothing to do with the pressure or environment, to put the blame on myself again, is my fault for not mixing with malays or speak in 'Bahasa Negara Kita' for the past 3 years.
Basically, my job is just doing outbound calls. Oh ya, I'm selling insurance for Prudential. I shall start from the origin.
Okay, the salary of this job stated in the net sangat tempting. RM1.4k min + allowance + commission. I know is not as good as modeling or road show, but tengok my size and I'm a dude. Compare with other offers, it was best. At first, when they called for an interview, I lied about my job experience. But on that day, I confessed indirectly lar.
*holy angel*
Supposed to do 2 rounds of interview. Pass the first, baru boleh hantam the 2nd one. But I was lucky I guess, went straight to the 2nd one and it was the manager who interviewed me. Stress gila. But I passed, suppose my basic was RM1.8k but due to my holy confession, it kena chopped to RM1.5k.. then it went up again to RM1.6k cause I had a little 'chat' with the female manager. HOHO~ she's still young okay!
Every newbie have to undergo a training session which consist of 5 days. But due to my imba absorbing speed, thats what my awesome trainer said, I finished in 3 days, whereas the rest.. the rest of the MBs, normal speed lar. Talked about my trainer, Hafis.. currently the 2nd adult Malay in my 'list of respect'. That dude gave me hell lot advices on off topic regarding life itself. I didnt know I was so not ready for the future. On the 3rd day, cause another trainer doesnt believe in his opinion about my progress, she called another trainer.. meaning all 3 trainers in 1 room semua test me. I was quite stress that time, sms-ed Sue, yet she gave me crap. But a little whisper by Hafis pumped up my motivation.
"prove those fellers that they are wrong"
"harr..?"
"you are my Best so far.."
*eyes on fire* "okay, I'm ready"
Sapu-ed till one of the trainer damn scared when I answer her question, cause when I answered wrongly, I showed dulan face till she had the mindset that her answer could be wrong. HAHAHA! Trust me, if you are at my shoes, you will laugh in your heart.
4th day, I get to see my colleagues. I was so freaking happy to see one chinese dude there cause the surrounding was all malays. At least one feller get to speak chinese with me. This time, all I had to do was just sit with either one of my colleagues and listen to their conversation with the customers. Is call the 'buddy' system
But when I entered the bathroom.. overheard the conversation between my teamleader and the big boss..
"calvin comes, that feller is out.. release him early"
At that moment, I was quite happy & bangga lar.. But 5 min later, the chinese dude came to me..
"tomorrow is my last day"

What the fish. Out of the 12 people in the room, why must kick the ONLY chinese. Kinda upset that time. Hmm, but till now.. I get along with all my colleagues well, although difference in color, they treat me like a little brother lar. There is this malay girl which sits 2 sits away from me, name was Hana, kinda cute. Apparently I feel she has the best ass in the office, HAHA. This morning, she came to me and when she opened her mouth.. I WAS SO HAPPY! finally someone that can speak Mandarinnnn~ Sigh, she's 20 and she's not in college.. guess ada financial burden, what a waste of talent. Besides, there is a this dude, people call him 'warrior'.. no idea why, he thought me a lot about calls, his expression when customer hang up on him was hilarious.
After 'buddy' system for 2 days, today I officially start making my own calls. When the list pop-ed up, I stunned. 30 people to call, all malays, 4 saja knew how to speak english. FISH CAKE HOT POT! Some of the KL customers, they dont even understand simple english. Obviously, I had a really really hard time handling those malay speaking ones. When I approached to my teamleader, he gave me that stupid retarded look and said
"oh, the system is like that, I cant do anything about it"
but when I asked Hana about it, she told me that the system NGAM NGAM changed, previously was mixture of races.. Change started when one of them complained that chinese and indian customers are hard to tackle.

And no one inform my trainer & the manager who interviewed me and I went with the flow of english speaking during my training. The 'I quit' feeling is growing. Not to say I'm giving up, well.. I just find that is highly demotivating when you are not specialized in the field. Is like, calling a lawyer to do addmath questions.
Okay now, to talk about my 'gang' at work, 5 of them including me. There trainees as well, masuk the same time as me but we represent different insurance companies lar. All of them have unique backgrounds. Although is barely one week, but they shared a lot of stories with me.
