************************************Melon's Mood for Today - # # # #************************************15-Oct-2007 (Mon)First day of work reached office at 8.45am and waited and waited until 9.15am then TH brought me to my seat. Walau, HR person on leave and no one to cover so no one brings me around too :-(
Met my team for the first time, supervisor will be outstationed at client's site for the entire week and 2nd-in command on mc.....so only left with one senior gal to orientate me. She threw me 3 manuals to read.
Had a 'culture shock' here.... everyone including supervisors use msn to communicate and the hierachy is super flat lor.
We went lunch at Zion Road hawker and walked to GWC to do some shopping. Then it rained and we la kopi with one of the supervisor there until the rain didn't stop then we decide to share cab back to office. Super short distance, meter only jumped 10 to 20 cents....lolz.....
Entire day was like reading manuals and msning and emailing ex-colleagues and friends :-)
At night sent TH to SP for his night classes then I drove home to some packing and admin stuff.
Found this mystery note and decided to paste it on my home working's area :-)
Please note.....I'm looking for the mystery person who wrote this note....
Note author, thanks for the 'sweet' mystery package. Its really nice of you to had rem my birthday ;-) But I would still be happier if you could identify yourself to me so that I could thank you personally :-)
16-Oct-2007 (Tue)Again reading manuals and emailing/msning.......
Had lunch at nearby kopitiam.
Nothing much in office.
At night went to meet SL and Ric for dinner at
Paragon@Orchard.
Wanted to park at Shaw Centre which cost $2.14 per entry.....but then lazy to walk...so tot of parking direct at Paragon at $3.14 ($1 more ex)....who knows forgotten then I will 'hit' ERP.... so extra charge of $1 or $2...can't rem....ex lor...
So restless when met them...cause had been reading manuals for consecutively 2 days... so tiring.... so had to explain to them lor....
We for dinner at the Spagettis at the basement of Paragon and had some politics chat. Then SL ask me entire night smsing who and why so distracted. Then I replied a generic answer 'Friend lor'.....haha.
Reached home at 11plus pm.
17-Oct-2007 (Wed)Finally got to do some hand-ons le.......
Then understand actually main job is to clean MS data......
Then at later part of the day, supervisor came in and introduced me to BigBoss then BigBoss told me that I will be shared between MS team and another In-house team. Its good to learn from both side lah.... but then cfm will be very busy liao... cfm difficult to segregate myself into 2 teams de :-( watever it is, let the supervisors decide ba.
At night went to pick up Shan then went to gym. Gave her her presents and think she liked it very much, at least didn't waste my 2 days effort ;-)
Ran for 5km as per usual.
Then we went to
Marche@Vivo and ordered a lot of food. Had quite a great time catching up with them and we took some pics ;-) Waiting for them to send me the pics so that I can upload it here. Following are some preview that I had took from my hp with lousier resolutions.



18-Oct-2007 (Thu)Today was introduced to the back-end database and got to play some SQL queries like I used to do in my previous previous job. Feels good to be back in that environment :-)
Finally confirmed my seating place and com after 4 days....lolz.
Noon went to Pearl Centre to lunch with SL, Marco & Serene at my favourite western food. Then when we were paying up, auntie 'stunned' me with a surprise question of 'that ger leh?'.....faintz.... then they started trying to 'grill' me. Please lor.....its my HPB's Ane lah......she already happily married with 2 cuties lor.... think I got 'special taste' for married woman meh? hahaha.......
Took cab there and back to office before 2pm, what an expensive lunch....haha...should have drove there....
Supervisor said that he wanna review with me tomorrow on what I had learnt these days....sounds scary....hope everything will be fine.
Initial plan at night was to visit Maj with YN de.....but QF & WL asked me out for dinner...so we went dinner at JurongPoint lor..... Went to fetch QF then WL....QF said he wanna 'be my passenger' so I gave him a ride lor since we live near.
We had dinner at the foodcourt there....then I went to Courts to look at my Panasonic FX-55 and finally bought it..... black one! so happy..... bought at $649+$132 (extended 2 yrs warranty) for 12 months interest-free installment. Initially was 48 mths installment but i ask for 12 mths and asked them whether got 2nd batt anot....they threw in a free one for me lor....but its other brand de....not the original one....better than nothing lah hor...haha... then also got 2GB SD card.... all in place liao.....now charging and preparing to use it on Sat's SHP D&D.
