1 April : My 1st Day @ New Workplace

It's April Fool's today! Nobody played any tricks on me and neither I played any on others.(Think I am gettin too old for April Fool's jokes liao! Ha!)

Anyway, today's my 1st day at my new workplace. My goodness! When I saw how cramped the morning train was, I was astonished! Have not been taking MRT to work for close to 2 years liao.. didn't expect that I cannot even squeeze into a single carriage!Have to wait for the 2nd one somemore.. Guess I have to get used to it liao...

As my new company in Singapore context only occupies 2 levels of office space, it is much much smaller in scale as compared to my previous company. Even in terms of infrastructure and facilities, also not as well-equipped. However I feel that being small has its advantage, cuz I will get to know everyone in time to come.. I like tis 'big' family feeling.. Warmth and close-knitted. So long the company benefits are good, who cares about the physical size of its staff strength! My colleagues are kind to me and I feel comfortable working with them. Hopefully we will build up strong teamwork gradually. At least for the 1st day, they have not overwhelmed me with too much info/ work so I can pick up at my own pace.

I feel very welcomed especially when I saw the email and intranet announcement of the newcomers in this month. Seeing my name and brief introduction of my previous work experience makes me feel proud! I also got a HR Induction Pack consisting of the company's mug, notebook etc! Call me sua-gu but I feel really different when I received such treatment. I have not gotten any of these in my 2 previous companies.. so it really elevated my pride being treated as a permanent staff! I am glad I made the right choice in joining this company..

With this good start, I hope it will lead to good working days in the future! I must Jia You!
