At 0845hrs , my phone beep " meet me at the lift lobby sharp at 9am we are moving out"
It was my first day at work and I was told to report to HR at 9am. Took up my bag and press the lift button. It was peak hours and the lift buzzing chime kept ringing non stop each time the lift door open.
The crowd was non stop on the move, it wasn’t a scene I am familiar with. In fact it was my first time working in the “marina square " vicinity .
My eyes glue to the different lift doors that were open . Looking out for for the staff I am supposed to meet.
A lady with trolley bag can running towards me ….
Lady " let’s go the car is waiting outside "
Together we ran outside towards the drop area, witnessing the security officer chasing every car that park to pick up passengers.
The lady took the front seat, I slam the booth after placing the bag inside for her.
Lady " welcome aboard , I am sorry I have to put you through this on your first day”
Me " is ok"
Lady " I am the PA for the CEO . U can call me CIN short form for Cindy . We are heading to collect the new car before picking up VIP guest from seletar airport."
She didn’t speak at word more till we reach at the center to have the paper work done up before the new car was released .
CIN " u are very fortunate , first day on the job and u got a new car to drive, pls take good care of the car "
Me " I will "
I sat in the drivers seat making all the pre driving checks before signing the release form.
Me " ok we are good to go"
CIN " great , do we have time for me to head home ? "
She gave me the address and I did a calculation on the timing.
Me " yes we can make it "
CIN " let’s go then "

I took long breaks and stay for two weeks in Malaysia. Usually in the remote side of the east coast area. My Hp was left in Singapore and i set up my voice mail that I will be away for period of time. Arm with a Malaysian mobile number and a bag pack I travel to the kampong and stay with family that readily accepted me.
After two weeks I would come back to Singapore to stay for three days before repeating the same routine again. Each time I return I would check my email and Hp to find offer of job asking me to be their personal or office driver. I never reply to any of them. During the two night stay I would work for car valet company offering drive home services.
It was one night that I recall sending this lady back home…
Lady " can I smoke ?"
Me " while this is your cAr I am just offering to drive you home ."
She lid up and puff away . I lower the window at the driver side.
Lady " I think I know you from somewhere…."
Me " nah , u got the wrong person ! "
Lowering my jockey cap and adjusting my polo shirt collar.
Lady " ha ha , u just gave yourself away. I am from HR . All these body languages u made….. We are train to read all these expression.
I did not speak.
Lady " come work for us ! Our new CEO from HK is coming over. "
Silence
Lady " we are looking for u, yr name pop up and was strongly recommended by your fellow peers. Check your email and voice mail. u never get back to us. Seriously I never expect to see u doing these kind of work. "
Me " what’s wrong with this kind of work ? “…. I barked back at her
I could tell she was Stunt.
Lady " Charles right ? "
Even though with my semi white color thick beard she could still recognize me.
Lady " we are sincere, do come down to talk to us. We will give u a good package . "
I turn the volume knob a notch louder on the vehicle radio set.
She knew I did not want to be disturb anymore. The lady puff her last smoke and threw the stick out of the window .

The smell of e new car has bug me for the past few days. Giving me constant headache. I got to step out the car as often as I could to get more fresh air whenever I am not driving. The new CEO will be arriving in 3 weeks time. For the past few days I was used by the office staff to send them out for lunches especially when they have craving for outside ’ marina sq’ food . Work usually ends at 5pm and I would take a direct bus back home . Straight back to home and lifts off immediately.
I packed and return bk to my own flat one day when Helen left for Paris . She changed her lifestyle and I spotted her a few times with a guy driving a flashy sports car. I did some background check and found out that the guy was already married and all out to con Helen money. The sports cat was even purchased under Helen name. Helen was very nice and did not ask me to leave e house. Slowly we drifted and we end up sleeping different room. When she want attention she would sneak into my room to do her deed and head back to her room . I did warn her abt the con artist . She lowered her head and cry but did not say a word. That was the time I knew I had to make a move . Helen would not open her mouth to ask me to leave e house !
Because of the nature of my job I had 24 hours access to the office, I decided to come to work early after my horrid experience trying to take e MRT. At least now I could understand why ppl are unhappy abt crowded train.
The next person to report to office was the office cleaner lady. She is a very elderly woman and insist on making coffee for me if she sees me siting at the pantry area reading the pervious day newspaper.
By 830am I will make my way down to the office and to my daily pre vehicle check. I find did some basic recording in e log book as requested by my supervisor.
Day will start off with running some errands like to e bank to draw out cash . Purchase of premium wine if VIP request. Between 1030 to 11am I will back at office , taking a glance at ’ today paper’ with another cup of coffee before heading out for lunch.
At times when the office gals get bore we will head out to east coast to have prawn noodle. The ladies will insist that I lunch with them. I try my best to turn down their offer. They will always used e same excuse…
’ we will order yr share, if u don’t show up we will pack it back for u and u will have to eat the soggy noodles '
No choice ! I just sit down with e gal listening to their bitchy gossip … Finishing my noodles ASAP. Heading back to e car and cool it before they arrived . As it is a MPV I have to adjust the seats to make sure the ladies are comfortable inside. Many times I assist them to bOard the vehicle . The close proximity between them, scent of their fading perfume mix with drops of perspiration , sight of VPL , fair long legs and short skirt is a struggle for me. Thank goodness my sunglasses are on most of e time.
After heading back to office, I have to touch up e vehicle . Getting rid of food smell , used tissue paper , left behind HP etc. At abt 3pm it will be tea time back again at the pantry area. Standby most of e time till 6pm. follow by me reporting off
