First Day @ Work...

Woo-hoo..

First day at work..what can I expect? New colleagues, new desk, new boss..hahaha..even the air fresherner smells new!

It has been a great morning. I came into office 10 minutes before official time and was showed around by a friendly and experienced colleague. He even treated me to kopi at the prata shop opposite office. As I did not have access to any internal systems, I did quite a bit of packing to my new found space.

I can't help but comment on this space. Look, I may sound a bit sua-ku here but after being cooped in a 5 by 4 desk for 5 years, this new found space is really something enough to thrill me for the week! Even as I was clearing the stuff left behind by the temp staff, I couldn't help but smile to myself..."What is all these compared to the lot I packed from my 5 by 4?"

Lunch was at Toa Payoh. As my boss and other colleagues were out for meetings and such, the kind colleague who orientated me in the morning invited me for lunch. He's really a kind soul, even treated me to an orange after lunch. Ah well, he's one health conscious soul.

I was lucky I brought along my Lisa Ekdahl CD. It made me feel not so lonly in this so empty office. As I am writing my blog, my colleague, the kind soul trottered out for an important meeting and was telling me, " It's the whole office to you now!" Haaa...

The day has not ended. Am looking into some work as instructed by my boss. She has been kind enough to give clear instructions, which I am very very grateful for.

Honestly, I am not totally aware of what I want for now. It's not the money that matters. I just want to do something close to my heart. For my parents, my children and my husband, I hope this is a right decision.
