life of a bumble bee...
First day of work... Got my keycard for daily clocking in purposes. Collected our stationery and got my work desk. Totally empty. Only thing I brought was a jacket. But temperature is only set at 23degrees celcius so there ain't any need for it in my long-sleeve shirt. Feeling overdressed cos only the guys are wearing shirts. Should start swopping my shirts for just tops with pants.
Met up with our Mentor. A grandfatherly figure who I can already see gets easily frustrated when he doesn't get the things he want. Captain Royce seems so so stern and we will be starting with his operations department one level down.
HR manager is having a busy day so WeeKiong, the other MT (mgt trainee) and I are basically just doing our own stuff on the computer. The 1st thing that popped onto the computer screen after logging in is the MSN sign-in. Haha~ Thank gosh.
I have no idea what entails at the moment. But I definitely love the view of the port fr the highest level of the building that my office is on. =)
Past week was a tiring one. Much has happened. Photos are still lodged firmly in my camera from Cosmic Gate, New Asia Bar and Groove Armada.
Losing a Uncle Peter and having another Peter from Melbourne calling on the very same day and less than an hour apart was kinda trippish. Met up with him at Orchard Hotel and brought him for an italian lunch at Esmirada followed by some toy shopping for his grandchildren at Toys R' Us at Forum. Yeah if you had tasted the Peter's Fish & Chips and Frankston, Melbourne, you know who he is. The one who makes the bestest fish & chips that I have ever tasted. Miss my blue grenadier and fried pineapple ring!
Perhaps in a week I lost more than one person. One to the battle of leukemia and the other to my moving on. I entererd a new realm... besides the working realm... crossed boundaries I have never even came close to. And I wonder if that, or rather this, is the right thing to do. To admit, I guess it is the 1st time my heart led the way. And I am a rather control freak, letting the mind do the walk. I am clueless on this and I am not exactly excited not knowing my direction in that manner.
I should just be aloof... But it is not fair.
You should just leave me alone.
