Update on my Attachment

I can't smile today, no idea why. Guess it's not the best of days. Attachment has not been very fruitful. I felt that i haven't learnt much and that i'm placed there with high expectations. It's funny how Tangs can put like 5 attachment students together in a same department. I know i must take the initiative but sometimes you don't even know what's goin on.

I am beginning to wonder. 7 full timer, 1 part timer & 5 attachment students. How do you actually increase the Tangs service standard like that? So many attachment students just come and go.Of the 5 attachment students. 1 is from China, 1 is from Poly & 3 of us are from ITE. Each category of students has got different learning scope.

I felt that they should have spread us out to different departments, at least if we are attached to the longer serving ones we could have learnt more. The average full timer staff @ my department is about 6 months to a 18 months. But let's look at the bright side, at least i'm not posted to Vivo Playlab where the supervisor isn't really retail trained. *grin* ( I would never forget how he stared at me when i took up my friend's lanyard to take a look).

Somehow the competition for promotion is pretty tight in Tangs. Malaysians in my department work really hard & they are really nice too. The salary in Singapore is much higher then Malaysia's salary, that's why they are much more motivated to work hard. The truth is that if you really want it, you have to work for it.

It's been 17 days of work and i only manage to have 2 session with my supervisor. We were told there was suppose to be more. Well can't blame her it's not easy & she's busy. Oh btw Happy Birthday to my Mummy. I love you lots even though you are not gonna be reading this.

Quote of the day: Great work are form not by strength but by perseverance
