Last day of my first job

Today marks the last day of work for me as an administrative assistant in Agile Solution Sdn Bhd/PC Mart Sdn Bhd. This is the first paid job of my life and I've worked here for about 4 months, from 6 February 2014 until 30 May 2014. I could have continue to work here for a bit longer because my tertiary education does not start until August 2014. However, I decided that I am done with this job for several reasons.

1) I've managed to shake off the first-time-working tag from myself before working in the field of my study in the future. At least when I seek a job after graduating from university, I have some working experience(I even manage to get a recommendation letter). Plus, I am feeling more and more boring doing my usual tasks and have no motivation to learn new things about business software.

2) I feel that I'm kind of underpaid and being exploited. RM7 per hour is reasonable for a part-time office job. The problem is that although my official job title is part-time admin, I worked like a full-timer(Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm) for the company. So, the fact that the maximum I could earn for a month is RM1260(my college friend, Audrey, earns around RM1600 per month as temporary worker) and I did not get EPF and SOCSO coverage, I could not find any better reason to continue working other than I can earn money(not a lot) if I continue to work.

Quoting from Ming: Typical Chinese employer is stingy and would always exploit employees to the max.

3) I figure I'd like to enjoy the remaining two months of my pre-univesity holidays. I can use these two months to have a good rest as well as getting ready physically and mentally for university life. Besides, the 2014 FIFA World Cup is about to begin on the 12 June 2014. Won't miss out the chance to follow this tournament closely when I can still find reason to do so. Most importantly, several of my close friends are coming back to KL for semester break and I must spend quality time with them before I begin my tertiary education.

On a different note:

I bought this from a shop selling old and unwanted books of all sort at Sg Wang 3rd Floor. Guess how much it costs me? A MERE RM5!!! 

Stealing a chance to be lazy from working time(it's the last day of work and I feel a little rebellious) after I went to bank in money for the company at a bank, I was in the shop searching for books that are worthwhile to buy(the 2nd time actually. couldn't find any book worthwhile to buy the first time). I managed to spot this book. And I thought: WOW this type of book can't be costing just RM5 if you're going to buy from Kinokuniya. 

Feeling excited, I tried to search for other volumes to complete the whole set but to my disappointment I couldn't. Well, perhaps I expect too much from buying in a shop where the majority of the books are old and unwanted. Nevertheless, I purchased this book in the end because I just could not let this go when it only cost RM5 and it's about the course I'm going to study in university. 

Not bad for a bit of light reading for just RM5 about my degree course before starting uni huh? Feeling Hermione-ish xD
