'Lift your finger up, good. Now, put it down again.'

'Shou zhi fang xia qu, na qi lai, hao, zai fang xia qu.'

Well, Balsam, the HR supervisor, asked me if i am interested in doing fingerprint scanning for the new punch card system. Since it is great to learn a new skill, why not? I asked myself.

And so i happily agreed, since i can do something related to HR.

Scanning for the employees in PRDS is as simple as ABC. Key in data, scan ya finger, and viola, go and sign ya name. Done.

Yeah, that's easy rite? Yes to people who are taking the finger scanning and people who do the finger scanning for them, but no to none other than my CP colleague, Ranjan.

He had to took some pictures to be mailed to the main coy in Japan, so that those Japs has something to talk abt. (I am not too sure what are they going to talk about, neither am i interested in what they do.) And all pics must be approved by my boss before it can be mailed to Japan. However, most of the pic features the finger print scanning done with floor placed on cardboards (this is to prevent the assembly hall, the place where finger print scanning were performed, to be filled with dirt from the front line factory. U can imagine. That's a factory filled with metals, heat, grease and smoke, not chocolate river, chocolate mushrooms that grows whenever they want and the Oompas Loompas.) and the Japs are pretty particular about it. Well, what can you expect from the people up there?

Some Jap clients visited our factory today and brought us honey butter cakes from Japan. Ms Okumura, the lovely secretary, sliced the cake and distributed among the whole department. As i was printing my stuff near the printer, i left my desk for a short while...

Without realising that Ms Okumura is waiting for me with her box of cakes. OMG. I made her waited for seconds...just to finish my stuff. Initially, i thought that she would served Mr Tan, the head of Accounting Dept first, where he just sit beside my desk. :P Well, Tan had a good laugh, and told me to finish up my cake before my boss comes out. Hehe.

Oh yeah, the cake is buttery, and very sweet too. =)

Somewhere around the corner in the city lies a man with some past...
