1st day @t work in new office

Started off with a lousy night. Couldn't get to sleep. Got into bed @ around 12.15am, woke up @ 1.30, then 2.30 then 3.30 then 4.30 then 7 when my alarm rang.

Wake up, brush up and do the necessary things. Set off @ 7.30am as it is always jammed @ CTE towards AMK.

Today the traffic seems quite smooth. I reached the office which is located @ Kampong Ampat (around Mcpherson area) @ around 8.10am.

Rang the office door bell as I do not have the access card. Vn (who is the sup) opened the door for me, showed me to the cubicle where I'm supposed to work.

Didn't have breakfast, but she bought donuts so offer me one. The 1/2 half, simply CBL, check personal email, facebook, browse through company website to understand more of it. During lunchtime, I skipped lunch and went to my car to take a 20 mins nap (with engine off and windows wind down)

Woke up ard 12.35, go downstairs had a cup of coffee then go back office ard 12.55pm.
She showed me some of the office things that she is working and trying on as it was a new thing and she pretty new to it too. so trial & errors.

The office was super quiet, occasionally the sales guy will come to the gal in front of me to have a short chitchat, otherwise, can hear only the MD talking over the phone loudly. Honestly, I do not have a very good impression abt him as he was the one that conducted the 2nd interview with me and belittle me. (saying what I was doing in my previous company which is much bigger than this current company was only 20% of what is expected of me over here.) I know I did not set a good impression to him too as I am not a great pretender otherwise I would have been a rich insurance agent by now. Oh ya, anyway, as a MD, you should at least carry yourself like an MD. Even if you don't like the staff, you should in a way welcome him / her on their first day. Sigh... what to do? Hack him. haha..

Anyway, it was Vn that convinced and says that she wants me to help her out of the other two candidates. One not from this trade and the other one was my ex-colleague but Vn do not want her as she was a Filipino. Whether she is biased against Filipino, it's not my concern. Anyway, I was employed at a pay cut. Well, I discussed with my dear who enlighten my view and telling me say just try first, dun like then kiss them good-bye or if I really need the dough, then have to bear with it until the next luxury ship arrive. (something like that)

Anyway, throughout the 2nd half of the day, again I was CBL ing. Then msn Carol (frd), Grace & Shirley (ex-colleague) as well as Candy (Ex-colleague in China). TCSS with them then around 5.30, Vn msn me and say she's going back @ 5.30 and if I want to go back too, I can, well, I'm dying to as I'm bored to tears.

Then I offered her a ride to somewhere around Serangoon Road, along the way for me to go home too where it actually cut short a journey a lot. Not a bad way to score some point in the initial stage of work. (a win win situation) After that, I headed straight home, I was home around 6.18pm. pretty early. Msg my dearest to let her I'm home @ the same time checking to see if she is feeling much better. I called her after that, chat for a while. Glad to know she is feeling better than yesterday. Had my dinner after that. Watch 7pm ch 8 show, then now blogging here.

Something just struck my mind. Starting a new job is like starting a new relationship, it involves the feeling, and that kind of senses that you know, when you think it is right, it is right...
Though my feeling towards this job is not that good, but as I need the dough to survive, I will press on to see how it goes while @ the same time waiting for the right opportunity to come.

Fortunately, I count my blessing. So far, my r/s with my dear is going strong and I'm going to strive all the way to make it better and stronger as times goes by and of cos she also must play a part to make this work lah which I believed she will becos I trust that both of us really treasure this r/s and are serious about it.

Hmm.. today seems like one of the longest day that my sayang and I didn't communicate. Oh boy, I sure miss her, but then again, both of us are grown up, we should know our priority. (As long as she knows my mind and heart are always with her, I'm satisfied)

I surely know that I will miss her even more on 13 to 17th this month as she will be going overseas to attend her relative wedding.

Enough of the mushy stuffs or too much is not good.. haha..

Oh well, I hope tomorrow will be a better day.
