Met up with the iras peeps today for dinner! Actually it's like the very first gathering we had ever since we started work on 4th Feb this year. It's amazing how it all still felt so comfortable talking and laughing over meal time despite not meeting these people for like 3 months? That's the same period of time I knew most of them for. It's most probably thanks to Chris and Najib who keep the conversation going, especially Najib. He's a hilarious guy haha plus he has an infectious laughter and he's the kind who talks well with anyone. Cool dude.
Ronnie will be leaving for UK soon to further his studies. It was also nice to know him. He told me that he's actually quite a quiet and introverted person, but that he tries to talk more otherwise it would be hard to make friends, especially for guys. I was kind of surprised at first when he told me that because he seemed rather outgoing, but yeah I suppose he was just trying his best. Haha honestly at first Alicia and I were kind of irritated with him during training (on our first two weeks at work they gave us training) because he kept asking weird questions and was trying too hard? But yea there's always a reason for everything. All the best man! Oh and thanks for always feeding us with snacks! :P
During my 3.5 months at iras, I got to say that I really clicked with this guy called Zhan Yao. Nah don't get me wrong, it's not what you are thinking. You know how there's some people who you can just get along with from the very first day? Yeah just that. He was one of the person I sat beside most of the time during the first few weeks after we started manning the line, so naturally we would talk. And he was the one who helped me takeover one of my messed up call I received sometime during the first week of manning the line haha so yeah forever grateful for that. He's like a small boi boi (as affectionately referred to by Jasmine HAHA) because of his height and face XD Anyway yea I could talk to him about random stuff in between calls and what not without feeling awkward. Hope to see him around nus FOE!
Another person who I clicked with was Vivien. She's a funny girl also hahah too gullible and a little aunty when she complains about her calls :P Oh and weirdly she seems to be getting the most number of funny calls haha. And why I say she's gullible is because she ALWAYS falls for Najib's lies even though it is so obviously a lie LOL.
Ah this post seems a bit overdue right... Haha I just felt like typing a little about these guys after today's meet up. There's just too many people to mention, I have only mentioned 3 of them. The rest shall be kept in my memories~ Regardless of whether or not this group will still remain in contact in the future, these people have contributed to an unforgettable time during my stay at iras for 3.5 months. And I'm sure it will be one of those things that I will smile upon thinking back about it when I am old and retired. Never regretted making the decision to step out of my comfort zone and work at a call centre! At least now I can make calls out more comfortably haha!
