Bye Bye GV!

Today was my last day in GV before my LTL of 5 months.. It's a sad feeling definitely.. 1 Year 2 Months 19 Days.. I haven't been away from a job for such a long time.. Recolleting back, it's been eventful at GV..

GVTM

17 June 2006- Jennifer interviewed me for the job.. My 1st Day at GVTM.. Box.. Trainer: Li Ting.. She was a good trainer teaching me the procedures etc. Amber closed my first ever counter.. She was not known to me as Ah Ma at that time.. Haha.. Down $69 and I keyed almost all the vouchers wrongly.. Oops! Next day at Box again, Amber closed my counter again.. Down $59.. ZzZzZ.. Haha.. 3rd Day- Up $50 CCard.. Ho ho ho.. Well, Box training lasted for close to a month.. Syarizal, my best GVTM buddy since we started almost at the same time at the same station.. Haha..

Candybar Training up next.. Trainer: Din.. It was such a frightful station.. Couldn't even scrub the sweet popper on the 1st day.. The closing was scary too.. Don't even know how I even made it thru that station.. Haha.. Kachang and Remote training up next.. I absolutely loved these 2 stations cos I like making sweetcorn and packing nachos.. Finally, my Floor Training! That station was fun! I loved being assigned to float L1/L2.. Rayne was still a training mgr at that time and the both of us were assigned to stand at the usher point to catch outside food.. Haha..

The time came when Jennifer asked for ppl to be transferred to Vivo.. I agreed since I was starting school at TAS at that time.. So off I went to Vivo.. Still rmb we had to go for courses and typhoid jabs to prepare us for Vivo.. Heard alot of hype about the biggest shopping mall in Singapore and GV's largest cinema- 15 Screens! Kinda excited..

GV Vivo Training Days

All the new Vivo staff gathered outside Telok Blangah House on the 1st Training Day.. Everybody were still in their cliques of their old locations.. The only other GV staff outside of GVTM I knew was Alverina.. Haha.. Went into Vivo at was awed by the magnificance of GV Vivo.. It was huge, classy, exciting and seriously cool! Only those who has seen GVVC before it has opened will understand that grand feeling it gave me.. Went to Cinema Europa for the briefing.. We were all seperated into different stations to train for the opening.. Was assigned to Box.. The various mgrs were introduced.. Ling Ling- Floor I/C.. Lynn- Candybar I/C.. Bernard- Box I/C.. Jay- Kitchen I/C.. Fion- Gold Class I/C.. Ms Goh- GVVC CM..

The 1st few days were super duper fun! We could walk around without socks on and could print out as many tickets as we wanted too.. CB also had to cook hotdogs for practice and we could also take one if we wanted too.. The floor staff were going around greeting everybody, "Good Morning! Welcome to GV Vivocity!" Everybody was equally excited.. Furthermore, we were all allowed to watch a movie in GC everyday so as to give the GC Staff practice.. Staff would come to Box to buy tickets from us as practice.. We were also allowed to order practically anything off the menu just as long we could finish them.. Was awed at the wonder of Gold Class.. It was so luxurious.. Some mgrs from other locations were also transferred to train.. Only can rmb a handful- Amber, Jaslyn, Siew Yan, Eileen, Nicholas, Yong Wen.. Imagine the mgrs in GC Uniform.. Haha..

Had to do a few quizzes to test our knowledge and we were rewarded with comp passes if we scored well.. Haha.. The station with the worse results had to paste stickers on their faces and walk around the whole day.. Then it was the Media Day for GVVC.. The media from all over would be coming to do reviews and report on the new cinema.. Ambassadors were chosen to represent each cinema.. Was chosen to represent GV Max along with Chris.. Still rmb the ambassadors had to stand in front of all the staff and recite their knowledge on their respective cinemas.. And it was so boring on that day.. Practically stood there and nua.. Haha.. Didn't talk to Ms Goh thruout the training days cos she was always so busy.. And Jay doing her "This is my Kitchen Team" talk.. Haha.. Didn't even dare talk to the other mgrs maybe only Bernard since he was at GVTM for a while.. Training days soon came to an end and Vivo was about to open..

GV Vivo

Fun workplace! Lots of interesting stuff happening all the time.. Should mention only the more memorable ones.. Haha..

Silly 3- Silliest= Sheng Long, Siller= Eunice & Silly= Me! They were the best working buddies ever.. I can always count on them to solve any problems or to have the craziest work day ever.. Miss the times when we would take pictures and SL will do his crazy stunts.. The pics I love most would be the ones with Happy Feet & COTGF.. And the times we would do Europa tgt.. However, Silliest & Siller soon left GV for other opportunities.. The fun times went away with them too..

Failure 5- Xiao Fu= Jie Ping, Fat Fat= Sharon, Xiao Xing= Yong Xing, Qiqi- Yanqi & Wang Wang= Me! They are also my craziest bunch of working buddies who love to catch the first train home and eating supper.. Haha.. We love eating Jumbo too and taking pics.. I'm the first one to leave this time..

Entering GC- One of the most memorable days.. Entering GC for the very first time.. Got pulled up tgt with Junwei for training.. Learnt lots of stuff in there and it was really cool to be working GC.. Different kind of cinema exp.. But kept wanting to go back down to Trad during the 1st few months.. Haha.. Gold Class motto- 天蹋下来，还有 manager 在.. =p

Vivo Staff Party- Fun night! Received some comp passes that night for having good attendance or something.. The buffet part was funny.. Non-halal food was ordered so KFC had to be called in for the Muslims.. The tables the buffet was on crashed halfway thru and all the food was gone! Haha.. And it was Amber who was standing closest to it.. I kept blaming her.. Haha.. And Micheal doing his "It's your job" talk..

Managers- Bernard, Lynn, Ling Ling, Fion, Jay, Ms Goh, Nicholas, Jaslyn, Colleen, Amber and Jaslyn.. You guys were fun to work with.. I learnt quite a number of things during this time too.. Bernard- Fun manager who can be counted on.. Lynn & Ling Ling- my 2 师姐s who like to tekan me.. Fion- the one who gave me the chance to work in GC.. =D Jay- also another fun manager who likes to run here and there.. Ms Goh- Humble yet super hardworking manager.. Nicholas- Our funny Mr Bean.. Jaslyn & Colleen- Our ECs who like to pack popcorn with us.. Amber- our GVVC's Ah Ma.. I gave her that nickname and she's been called that ever since.. Haha.. Jaslyn- Our CB Pro.. Popper is always safe..

Well, I think I've talked enuff liaoz.. Wanna know more about my GV life? Just refer to my archives.. It was fun while it lasted.. I'll be missing this place.. Will I be back after 5 months? I dun really know.. But one thing can be sure, GV will always mean something to me..

Bye Bye GV~!

Good Night Moo- Putts!
