The MayBank Story 2....
Haha....back by popular demand. Just re-read my previous post and felt the story is like dangling in mid-air so i might as well give it a conclusion. Think u can call it blogging for the sake of blogging but then again, the story continues......
Chapter 4: The Zoological Garden
The train dashed into the station with a speed of an mrt train and came to a halt. The door opended, no one came out. Instead, everyone waiting at the station rush through the door and into the already packed little aluminium-steel alloy cabin. Just when i was feeling lucky to be able to squeeze into the last inches of avaible space, i felt a hand pushed me from behind. The push totally slammed and pressed my body against a office lady. Anger filled me, not because i blamed him for for not pushing me to my left instead, where a better looking mei nu was standing but by his super INconsiderate behaviour.
I turned around to have a good stare at him. He is an XX ( nothing racist...). If a GORILLA ever goes on a slimming regime, it will surely look somewhat like him--try to imagine, its not that hard! Then he tried to reach for the hand-pole despite standing at the door. That positioned his armpit right next to my face!! After studying Biology and animals evolution for so many years, i have heard of some gorilla eating fish but never had i heard of gorilla " SELLing FISH "!!
The train pulled to a slow halt at Jurong East station( taking a straight train to pasir ris ). I thought that he will alight there. Afterall, its common knownledge that the MANDAI ZOO is somewhere ard the jurong area. But he didn't. Of all the break related words in the dictionary, none seemed as real as "Zoo-break"--Damm, A Gorilla is on the loose!
Kicking the gorzilla aside, the train actually has a few swans around, swans that flies around wearing the tag " from SP". There were also ppl that dressed a little too "outstanding". Guess these are the peacock, attracting attention via visual appeal. Its was no longer a train ride to work, its was a TOUR on a moblie ZOO!!
Final chapter: The End
I am probably writing these 3 weeks in advance but i feel no different if i were to do so later. For the past 10 weeks at MayBank, i learned lots of lesson and came to realise one thing...
Using analogy...MayBank is just like a big wolf bearing its teeth at me. Its razor-sharp teeth reflecting the toughness of the outside world, its saliva filled with the acidity and kindness of human nature. Dark and towering, it stand guarding its lair, its home--a place called SOCIETY. If you can't get past it then you are unable to enter the place behind-its that simple!
With friendship as my shield and family as my weapon, i know that getting past the stupid wolf will not be a big deal. 3 more weeks and the wolf will be slained!!
In glory, people bask. In battle, people fight. In adversity, people GROW. For me, i felt that i have grown a little. Things that i want become clearer and friendship become dearer. Maybe, what our parent said were right--you cant mature till you go outside and work and see for yourself the big picture.Haha, hope i got matured abit at least :)
Gonna end the post with a phrase i liked.

The MayBank Story...
Since there no one blogging le then me blog a lttile short story to breathe some life back to the blog. The story might sound abit like complains but it is anyway......just want to let out some stupid feeling i having nowaday before it explode inside.
Chapter 1: The devil fire
The second hand hit 12, it was 6.10pm. 300 more "tick" of the second hand and it would be game over. i was READY, very single muscles cell was ready to dash out of the door when a pile of application forms was smacked onto my table. "please rush these for me, thanks!" was what i heard if u exclude the "bang" sound when the forms hit the table. The U on my face changed to n instanlty.
Thats what happened on most of my days in MayBank. Working OT is nothing if i were to say, what matters is the fact and the thought that you are still earning 5 bucks an hour even in OT!!! The more u think about it, the more unsettled and frustrated u become. Its like a devil fire burning from deep within and is straining my mental limts to the extreme!! Sometime i really like just tearing the application form to shreds, don give a damm, and just take off but the word "responsibilty" is like a 1000kg leg chain holding you back.
My mum told me not to play with fire when i was young but now a devil fire resides deep within. i have no ideas how to pull it out but i am sure i will soon....
Chapter 2: The two words killer.
I was becoming more sian at Maybank with each passing days. My "sianness" reaches its peak when i heard the story of a guy whose first name was ONG and last name was JIE...One fine monday afternoon after having a good lunch and rest over the weekends, jie feel so motivated and energetic that he think he could stop 100 rampaging bulls. He told himself, "i could do it, man! "
He paused to check his workload after rushing for a couple of hours and yes, he on track to finish his work before 6pm. just when he thought he should slow down a little, a lady walk over and dump another stack of application on his table. "Aiyah! just rush finish the existing applications and try to do as much of the new appl. as possible till 6.15pm" he thought, afterall he was so motivated that he can stop 100 bulls.
But all it took was 2 words from the lady to kill and piss him off....' BY TODAY!!' The energetic guy was totally beaten when he heard the two killer words, not because the lady that said it isnt a chiobu but the fact that the two words is make up of 101 rampaging bull compact and squeeze into them--1 more than what he can handle.
Chapter 3: The stretcher
The colleauge are generally nice and friendly people but then there is this thing called the stretcher in the bank. Not those stretcher use by the ST JOHN, stretcher here refer to a group of people witht the ability to stretch an hour work to 2 and a half hours. i really give it to these guys man, afterall they can be sit and reach champion anytime, anyplace, anywhere!!! Fake Fake look ocuppied and very busy at times till the clock hit 6.15pm. If you can see them still working 15mins past 6.15pm, faster look out of the window, A pig is FLYing over the rainbow.
To sum the whole experience in maybank so far up, i ended up with a sentence...
