First Week at Work ...

So fast, started my new job for 1 week already. Actually should say only 4 days because today is Good Friday, PH mah. It was really a honeymoon week to me. Didn’t do many things. Tidied my table, downloaded/printed documents to read, went meeting with colleague and did some essential courses… To me, everything is really still very fresh.

My boss is quite a nice guy. He looks very young. I guess at most 35 years old. But, I think he is younger than that. He looks like senior engr rather than boss. Heard that he was just promoted from principal engr to boss last year. Quite a capable person. As for collegues, so far so good. However, it really takes time to build up the relationship with them. Sianz… Still miss my ex-colleagues leh… hahah… The working environment there is quite good. Although official working hours is from 8.30am to 5.30pm, most of the people reach office at 9 plus as we don’t need to clock in/out. It is ok to go off earlier provided you have finished your job. It is very flexible. The cafeteria there is much much better than my STM. It is a food court rather than a canteen. I haven’t tried the food there yet but think not too bad, from the appearance. Haha… But, I don like the toilet. Old and sometimes it is smelly. Still like STM level 6 toilet. :)

The HR system there is all paperless. Everything is web-based one. Leave application, any claims, even pay slip, also use internet. It is very convenient. For courses, think most of the courses are web-based one also. Those e-learning courses. You can arrange your time to take. Very flexible loh… These were what I observed in the first week there. Seems like pros more than cons. Hahah… subsequently maybe I will find out more cons… Hopefully I won’t. :)

Next week and the week after next, I only need to work 4 days also. Hee… Next Tue is company outing day. It is sort of like team-building event. Everyone will join and it is on our working day. So, must join. The week after next I will attend a seminar at Orchard. It is a one-day seminar. So, don’t need to work also. Heehee… However, think from next week onwards, I have to start doing some things liao. So, maybe will start to have stress as too many things still don’t know. Really have to study hard and hope that I can catch up ASAP...

Yesterday just got my badge. Very happy. Finally can become the official member of my new company and don’t need to exchange Temp badge every morning.
