First Day at Work

Today is my first day at work. It was exciting and nerve-wrecking at the same time. I am excited to meet new colleagues but I do worry whether I would be able to get along well with them. Hopefully, everything would turn out fine. I almost ruined my first day by entering in the wrong direction on the PIE expressway. I then proceeded on to turn out from the Bukit Timah filter lane and headed for the ECP expressway instead since this was the route that I took to go for my interview. Luckily, I was in time for work and there were two other colleagues who arrived much later than me.

It was surprising to meet boss at the lobby waiting for us. He introduced a south korean gal to me and asked me to guess what her nationality was. When I guessed correctly, I think the fun was gone. Yea, I am a fun dooper. I have always been that kind of person, I guess. He (not my boss) used to describe me as the gal who enters a lively party and sapped all the energy out of it, making it dark and gloomy. I cant help it, can I?

So after everyone has arrived, we started to fill up those forms required by HR. He started acting all secretive as he tried to separate all of us and prevent us from getting to know each other's salary. Despite me really wanting to know others' salary, I dont have the intention of letting others know. This reminds me of the Nash equilibrium and the prisoners' dilemma situation. Yes, I majored in Economics during my undergraduate years.

Having filled up all the required forms for both HR and Singapore Polytechnic, we proceeded to Bedok Green Primary School for our Lego Training session. We were quite late then and so, it was almost tea session by the time we arrived. Lipton's milk tea was pretty good in my opinion, although some claimed that it was too sweet for their liking. Char siew buns were served for morning tea session and we then proceeded to continue with our Lego training.

The Lego training was quite interesting, though the lecturing parts were slightly boring. I was just more interested in getting into action and play the Lego toys rather than sitting through the lectures. Lunch was on the house, so that was one good thing about the training session. Nonetheless, only a spicy dish was served -- curry chicken rice. I usually enjoy the normal type of curry chicken but for this stall, it was too spicy for my indulgence. I barely touch my plate despite me feeling terribly hungry. For afternoon tea session, we had sweet potato soup which I skipped as I wasn't feeling too well then.

Eventually, 4pm came and we knocked off from work. This pretty much wrapped up my entire first day at work.
