alMoSt FaInTeD
i tell u, i really almost fainted in the train and up the escalator on my 1st day of workbloody hell
dun know what happened
just came into me SUDDENLY
first i was like why am i perspiring
then i felt the air is thinning
then i saw stars and thought who turn off the lights
then i was swaying from side to side and next moment i knew tt i am gg to faint
i told myself to hang in there, coz i dun want to malu leh
so i was quite lucky i managed to tong till i alighted at cityhall
then i quickly took deep breath and then went up the escalator
but the air is still too thin for me, i thought i have reached the peak of mt everest without my oxygen tank
and when i was almost to the platform, i felt the fainting spell again, then i told myself not to give it up and i managed to flumber my way to the platform, out of the gantry and walked towards marina sqaure....i tell u, it was so difficult, i almost couldn't make it
anyway, i was there early
so i waited at the public area till the receptionists came
so at 9am i popped over to the counter and reported my presense
waited till 9 something, then got another guy came and HR came shortly
i was wondering "why only 2 staff for orientation?"
anyway, a temp guy was asked to join us for the orientation
jac was nice, she gave us each a polo t (except for temp) and then filled up some forms and then briefly told us the benefits of our staff pass and holiday for yr 2008
2 pcs of good news in the morning :-

anyway, over lunch, boss told me tt after discussion with mr chan, they decided to change my job scope. previously it was either this or tt. but now, they decided tt i should wear 4 different hats, namely, PA, contracts executive= more to business development, contracts officer = more to projects, miscellaneous = multi tasker. anyway, told esther, no harm trying. develop some new skills lor. dun always be a qs, and then become so stagnant like tt. tts why leave comfort zone and venture into new areas, take up new challenges. anyway, i am surrounded by filipinos. me sitting with drafters. tts why so many foreign talents. and my boss is just beside me. so no hanky panky when he is ard. =)) but i am there to change their cultures!! they need vibrant ppl like me to teach them what is life all abt!! its not abt working till no day and night. its about enjoying.
so i guess no honeymoon period for me. its straightaway hair get wet kind of scenrio now
so everyday will be "fighting" for time. today was reading the emails which boss forwarded to me on a new project and also vetting thru a new contract with china....so tomolo think will have to get hold of his for a discussion before he flies off in the evening and be back on friday =P
8th pc of good news for the day, we can join fitness first at a staff rate of $850 per yr. access to all their clubs in any location!!! muahahahahahaa..........then 9th pc of good news, we have a new vendor who wishes to extend their massage service to Dians, 60 mins body massage at $40 and 60min foot reflex at $24!!! so u imagine, 30 mins is how much and 40 mins is how muchie..omg omg!! only thingy is, u must go to golden shoe lor....but but but, its still cheap lor... =))
here's the cup.
the hr has a welcome "pack" for new comers like me. first time my stationary no scale ruler and calculator......finally =P
the team was busy with a proposal so they have no time to clear a table for me. so i just take a pic of my "new" monitor at my temp desk
think the medicine is taking effect liao, coz me feeling drowy. me need to go zzzzzz liao. must wake up fresh and alert tomolo.... =)) many things awaiting for me in the office. hopefully when i go in tomolo, they have cleared a desk for me...... =))
