The new environment.........

erm....... its always not easy to adapt fast in a new environment....

Its the end of 2nd wk, I becoming more and more involved in the projects......

So far am still finding it fun and interesting.... Went for a site recce at a construction site, wearing helmet and safety vest... Its really interesting to be one of the 1st few to step on the site before the general public can catch a glimpse of the area! Besides I have never been in a construction site b4....

New Colleagues
Colleagues are basically nice people bt still find them weird....

They are not close to each other at all... perhaps they r jus colleagues or u can say makan khakis.... nt like what we used to have in Sentosa.... (or are we the weird ones in Sentosa to be so close???) or perhaps they are still unfamilar with each other since this division is still so young.... and you know people come and go in this division (erm.... though nt a gd ting to knw)

Can you imagine, they can queue up individually even though they maybe ordering the same stall in a food centre?????? I cant understand this part?? Cant they consolidate and order while someone look after the seats?? I dun understand this parT?? Then if you help to pay for their food/drink, they will pay you back IMMEDIATELY.......EXACT dollars n cents...... Dun understand, cant understand

Of cos the ratio of girls are more than guys so I believe gossips are still very normal.... heheheh ^^ Lots of negative feedbacks....... I guess this is wat they said in HR term staff unsatisfactory.............

Boss

Erm... didnt really interact much bt heard alot of nt so gd news.....(i knw i shldnt rely on other sources to judge my boss so I am still seeing for myself). My boss, one who wont treat workers to meal and even claim money from the staff after a meal?!!!!! Inspects the staff every morning to make sure they are at their seats on time.... You are expected to come in ON TIME and leave LATE....... ??? I was always shocked by the loud voice even though our boss is jus infront of us talking......... and the usual "U do, u go n tink about it" kind of instructions tat leaves people going crazy....... n after you TINK your way out and report, the answer u got is "I tink its better this way.... do it this way....."

Smtimes it ponders me to tink of myself in my boss position.... its not easy for BOSS too....sometimes I pity BOSS too... that's y i tink i can only work for ppl cos i would rather be among the people than be alone on top of people.... anyway let's see how it work out between us and hopefully its a better one.........

Office surroundings

Even though we dun have the lush of GREENery and sunny beaches like on Sentosa. I am so loving the area where I worked cos there are cheap and nice food EVERYWHERE!! We can practically go to different food centre on each day from Mon - Fri. The train station is also within walking distance and its a straight train from my hse too!!! +++ so many pts!!!!!!

I am seated far from my division bt am still enjoying the space...... its abt the space that KC used to have in Sentosa!! Will be even more happy after moving to the new office as I will have new furniture and seated together with my other colleagues.... I am seated nw among architects etc...... COOL rite?! and everyday i can heard them discussing to put trees here n there hahaha....

But the pantry and restrooms are so FAR away and they dun provide me tea or coffee... though this amazing scene of an auntie who come by in the mornin and during tea breaks to 'laylong' coffee,tea, snacks with a bell......... *COOL??*

Pros

oh... love the working hrs...... got to leave for hm 1/2 hr earlier on Fri.... the computer monitor is so BIG!!!!!!!!! and best of all, they are still using the old version of microsoft hahahah which I deem as plus pts cos I hate the newer version which is so nt user-friendly..... ^^

Cons

Can you imagine 900 plus staff using only 1 old color printer cum scanner which always break down?!!!!!!! 4 officers are to share 1 telephone! and do you know I happened to spot this table with a telephone that was USED by my grandfather last time in 1980s?!!! I wonder how they can transfer call with that?! Thats really AMAZING isnt it?? Older staff are going SLOW very sLOW............ CULTURE shock! This really ponders me tat we are so SUPER pamper in Sentosa even though we are suppose to be a semi-stat board ^^

Everything is going well and smooth and I hope it goes on for as long as I hope to.... still keepin my finger crossed.
