Bloggin' It Old Skool

*The whole combo of not having my own computer in the office & loads of free time has increased my brain-to-notebook activities. Here's yesterday's entry*

Bloggin' it Old Skool ;)

Is it really that difficult to smile? Is it that arduous to be nice to someone you just met?
With part of the industrial training being a platform for training my social skills, I definitely tried my hardest, made an effort to talk to people around me, ask questions, etc. But then again, God is creative. I guess once in a while we'll meet people who are just inimicable,
or whom possess that 'unique' attitude.

Somehow today, the guy who usually teaches me stuff had a seminar or something. So I didn't wanna just sit around doing nothing. I went around to find the office of my actual supervisor whom I never even got the chance to meet on my first day due to her cluttered schedule.

The first two girls I asked were really nice & all smiley, they thought I was a new staff, LOL. But that was pretty much acceptable. Checked the supervisor's office, but it was vacant. So later on, I tried again & approached another 3 office girls. Well, actually 2 women and a girl. The girl was congenial enough, she kept smiling at me, but the other two answered my questions in a way that made it seem like I smelled bad or something (-__-)

Unfortunately, my effort of making conversation was an epic failure. Tried it with the wrong click :( That one lady kept staring at me from head to toe. Who wouldn't start feeling concious if someone did that to you right? Things didn't work out, I just smiled & went back to my seat. It kinda left me feeling slightly low of myself. Hate those stares :( That's one out of the myriad things I'll have to get used to in order to survive my 10 weeks of LI. In fact, LIFE.

Anyway, the day I went out with Wanie, she said I looked so officy. I'm starting to think my choice of wardrobe DOES look little too much on the corporate side. LOL. Coz poeple in the department keep thinking I'm a new staff there. Even one of the girls, before I told her I was a student, there was this really weird vibe, she talked to me like I was one of the new managers there or something, hahahh :P

Seriously. Even yesterday, there was this one guy who helped me open the door (apparently the doors need staff identification for access) when I wanted head home. The usual situation would be that I say thanks, he smiles, then I head straight to the lift & wait. YESTERDAY, when I went out & said thanks, he followed me out (I guess he was on his way out too) and from behind me,

Me Him
You dari mana ni?
Haa? Ohh, UM :)

Okay, the tone he was at during that first question was NOT a staff-to-student tone. I could tell, coz believe me there IS a difference. Even the most humble staff around would still have that tone. He obviously thought I was new there or on a business meet.

Ehh, Ooohh you ni anak Kak Ainor yea?
Huh? I buat practical sini la.

Automatically he's tone changed. Including his format of questions. No 'I-You(s)' in sight. Suddenly, he was like tahun berapa? Study macam mane? LMAO :P
He was really cute. So I had no problem there ;)

*A few hours later*
I just got back from finally meeting my supervisor for this week. She's the sweetest lady ever, man. She's all english speaking, so I kinda got nervous, coz my english sucks, haha. All seemed to have went well. I hope I didn't look like an idiot infront of her. Heheee :) She's actually willing to brief me on stuff. So looking forward to that. *It never happened (-_-)*

Till then :)
