A New Beginning: A Series of Fortunate Incidents


Manage to complete all my Security Courses on 12th Jun, going to start doing Gastro Beat Event at Bayfront on 14th Jun. A security company contact me to do part time relief for Nurse Hostel near my place, found it to be an easy job as we only have to lock and open gate and doors and do patrol.

Access Control is easy with Face Recognition, and we just have to sit there to monitor. Patrol is using Time Stamp Photo App and send to WhatsApp Group Chat, 13 Clocking Points completed within 15 mins. The only issue there is the Excessive Noise due to the younger generation, but the environment make us feel younger.

The next day another company ask me to go interview for Data Center job, a friend tag along with me as he is very interested in it. They wanted to confirm me but they still need approval from their Client before they can sign the contract, my friend got offer for Nursing Home job mainly because of his age.

As I am involved in the Gastro Beat Event and unable to do relief for the Nurse Hostel, I recommend my friend to take up the job to try out and start his notification. I feel that it will be a better environment for him as compared to Nursing Home, but he seems to disagree with me.

I am assigned to Security Screening Duties at both Entrance and Exit during the event, manage to stop about 55 patrons from bringing alcohol out including two vendors. Highlight of the event is that even Spiderman also unable to get pass our security and had to finish the whole bottle of water before we allow him inside.

I went for another interview with another company on 15th Jun, it was recommended by my trainer as he heard I am very interested in technology. They confirmed me on the spot and was disappointed that I can only do part time relief for them instead of permanent full time as I had already interview with another company for Data Center job.

Just before I complete the Gastro Beat Event the company contact me and inform me that I had been selected by the client and they wanted me to start as soon as possible, but upon receiving the contract I found out that their company policy doesn't allow me to work for other companies.

As I had already sign contract with other companies, I will not be able to join them. I inform the previous company that I had turn down the offer for Data Center and will be able to do full time with them. They were very happy that I am able to work full time with them and told me to start work immediately after I finish my event.

My initial plan of doing ad hoc events and part time relief had been disrupted, but I am still able to participate with most events as they are held at my present work location. So far everything had been very lucky for me and I also manage to convince my friend to continue with Nurse Hostel job as it really suit him better. He can also take up more events job as it will be very good for his experience.
