Training

5 weeks of training over... By now, I should be very familiar na with Shell as a company, its businesses, etc. I should also be knowledgable na with Australian culture and language. My, is it interesting! Sobra dame nila mga idiomatics expressions and ang vocab nila, kakaiba! A few examples:
1. servo - gasoline station
2. arvo - afternoon
3. ball and chain - wife
4. bloke - man
5. Pommy - English (citizen)
6. barbie - barbeque
7. brekkie - breakfast
8. Seppo - Americans
9. rugrats / ankle biters - kids
10. bingle - vehicle accident
11. bizzo - business
12. bludger - lazy person
13. chook - chicken
14. coldie - beer
15. spit the dummy - get very upset
16. off his face - drunk
17. who opened their lunch? - who farted?
18. rack off - get out of here
19. tall poppy syndrome - tendency to criticize successful people
20. sparky - electrician

Astig noh? I think they are really very interesting people...
Ngayon, we're off to harder training.. We are moving na to product specs... 7 weeks to go... Yep yep, 7 more weeks.. Siguro by the end of that time, expert na kame sa lubricants and fuels. Haha. Let's see.
