As you all know from Cecilia, I am now joyfully employed and unenjoyfully unable to attend the Ghostly Tour at the Raffles Museum last Friday. So sad! I so wanted to go! But emergency work had hold me back. But it was not a wasted day! My colleague and I fixed the problem and I learned a couple of things from it.
I enjoyed my job! It allows me to move around and I got to see the various industry. All of them are eye openers! Right now I am still tagging along with a senior colleague to learn on the job.
I was already out in the frontline on my first day of work, we were to do some installation work at a food company. As I entered the factory. Whiffs and whiffs of freshly baked breads assaulted my senses! Wow ! How can I work here without my mouth leaking saliva. Instead of a hairnet aka showercap, they should have provided me with a face mask! (to prevent my saliva from dripping onto their breads, hand restraints should be provided just in case.)
It is not just the smell of it. It is the sight of them as well. Never have I seem a whole floor of bread in my life! The maze of conveyor belts was full of bread from flour dough to shaped-dough for baking to bread freshly out of the oven waiting to dot it with sesame seeds and finally to trays and trays that reached the ceilings of ready-to-eat breads. Urghh! The thought of it makes me hungry again! A lifelong supply of bread in front of my eyes! It is so fun to work as I was gradually covered with flour dust and sliding carefully on the slippery floor to prevent myself from falling!
If this is how my work should be, let me work forever!
Chen Kee… off to hunt for books on his work…
