I met up with one of my nusbs fren-turned-insurance agent to discuss on buying an additional policy. The 'promotion' AIA is having now is giving away free printers, mp3 players, storage devices etc. None of them caught my eye, probably becos i am facing all these gadgets everyday at work.
The above pic was taken during one of the meetings i had today. Unlike my meetings at CDGE, not a single piece of paper was brought into the meeting room. Instead, you can only find laptops filling up the meeting table. Computer gadgets and devices are really at abundance.
I am glad that i get to learn at work everyday, be it handling skills or computer/techinical knowledge. I feel that such stuffs are useful and interesting, compared to what i used to learn at my previous job : how many kilometres traveled is equivalent to a 10cent jump, how many months a tyre need to be replaced, what is the avg diesel consumption rate, how to measure the amt of blacksmoke emitted etc. I was once worried that my IT nourishment has come to a standstill after leaving NUS. I am glad the journey continues after taking up my present job.

A nusbs snr asked me to help her buy the IPAQ at staff price. As the company policy does not allow us to sell whatever we bought to others within 6 mths of purchase, i did not ask her to pay me first. Unfortunately, this snr seemed to have quite a bit of problem with the new gadget, and wud call me up every now and then for solution. Today, she complained her battery connection has problem, causing her to lose all her data (which to me is not a techinical problem but a user problem!).
Since the unit bought was a brand new one, i thot she can visit our service centre to get either a replacement or have the problem rectified. She has the receipt and warranty card with her. I thot that i am just helping to purchase this unit at a cheaper rate, and morever, i am neither a sales rep or earning commision from her. By right, i shldn be responsible for anything.
Apparently, she was angry with me for pushing her to the service centre. Walaos.. . i vow i will nv do such thing again. Hao xin mei you hao bao.

Oh yes, i feel tat xiaomei aka chin lee did an excellent job over the past 1 yr as the nusbs welfare director. To me, she has paid attention to every single detail in her job, and i could find no flaw in preparation for every of the nusbs event i attended. Work produced by her are filled with sincerity, care and warmth. And of cos some credits have to go to her wonderful helper. Well done.
