three months today

three months ago, i joined this new company in tanjong pagar. i had anxieties moving out because i loved my old office, i loved my old work, i loved my co-workers. i guess that's what happens when you start mixing emotions in the workplace. you tend to build your comfort zone in a "paradise" that you invented. and you tend to use the word "love" a little too much than normal. :p

so now i am a 3 month old baby in this new company. i am happy to be building new relationships. i have lunch with an all fil group. lunch is always light and happy. we just laugh and make fun of every little thing. i really am blessed to be with happy people. it dates back to spi days - God always surrounds me with cheerful people :)

the working environment is very different this time. before, i am used to just chatting or calling my teammates. i am the lone team member in singapore, while the rest of the team is in zur. now, we are all in a room and electronic chatting becomes obsolete. live chatting is the in thing here! hehehe! at first, i was grasping for space and silence, but i guess i am not that old. i could still learn new tricks, you see :)

i also thought that it would be impossible to hear mass on days of obligation. last ash wednesday, we all heard mass at the singapore chinese orchestra, which is just across the street! love moves in mysterious ways :)

so... i just have 2 conveniences that i miss:
- that you could go to and from work without getting soaked when it rains. city hall mrt is magically linked to suntec. tanjong pagar isn't linked in any way to our new office building. bringing an umbrella is mandatory :p
- that you could go shopping anytime! sale ba kamo? you need to buy ingredients for dinner? you need pampa byowti? hehe you want it, you get it! hehehe! in the new work area, the nearest is 7-11 and there's still the rain you have to fight in bad days!

here's my view...
