Whoa! IMF is finally over. Oh ya for those who didnt know, i'm working as a cost controller. In other words, a storeman. Well, before i started working, i had this perception that storeman means slogging away hours in the store simply by carrying boxes here and there. I thought it will be perfect for me to build up muscles.

Alas, cost controlling turned out to be extremely simple. It's actually more of admin work then physical work! Frankly speaking, the job scope wasnt exactly to my liking, but nevertheless, receiving goods from suppliers and checking whether the goods are up to standard or not, was a pleasant experience.

The suppliers were amusing people, for most of them are pretty much people who loves joking around. Thankfully, they were on very good terms with the full-time cost controllers. And this allowed us to "taste samples" which were enough to fill up our stomachs. Egg tarts, coconut tarts, strawberries, fishballs, sushi, you name it. And we got to devour them.

There were difficulties definitely. Such as keeping awake when there's really nothing left for us to do. (there were too much manpower i'll say). And the final day of work, counting the amount of stock remaining after the whole imf event. Surprisingly, things didnt go according to what was expected. Only a fifth of the items was used/consumed. Wonder how long it'll take to clear the remaining items.

It's pretty sad that IMF lasted only for a mere two weeks. I'll probably miss working with the great and fun loving supervisors over there. Cost controlling may not be a glamourous job as compared to serving the delegates, but, the experience i've gained is so much more than what being a waiter can offer. And with that, another chapter of my life has now been closed.

I'll give you the wings you desire, so do enjoy the view you have up there. And as long you remember i'm below waiting for you, I can safely say, i'm contented. =)
