So its been about a week since I first started here. I love this place. No more do I have to face the "antique" species of the world. Seriously, most of them here are about my age and the older ones are barely a decade away than me. Am I happy? Yes, so far I am.

There's no ranting about this place as of yet. Everyone has been very pleasant to me. Its like everytime I walk down the corridor I can see a colleague of mine at the other end of it waving at me saying hello. Everytime I'm waiting for the elevator or in the bus, there's bound to be someone talking to me and the most embarrassing part is when they address me by name and I have no clue what's theirs! I am slowly learning to match faces with names.

This place is like a maze to me. Although this place is quite "ulu", so far I have never encountered any difficulty in food hunting. Everyday I will lunch with a different group of people (something that will never happen in SSC) and they will bring me to places I've never been before. The "policy" here is You'll Never Lunch Alone.

Who's my buddy here? Hmm... I would have to say its the 3rd floor multi-storey carpark in this building! Haha... go figure! Actually there are too many nice people here. Let me give them a quick shout outs...(lemme do it alphabetically)

Clifford
Came in a week before me and by far the craziest/insane dude I've ever met. He gave me a very approachable impression in the first 10mins I was in the office then later on I thought he was just freaky. I mean you can find him talking, smiling and laughing by himself but deep inside he's a genius. My theory is when one's IQ is too high, shit like that happens. He is the only dude I knew who can come up with things like "Damn Bloody Foo Goo!"

Chung Howe (a.k.a Howie)
I could never pronouce his name properly up to today therefore we had settled on the name Howie. He's a very bubbly sales person here who will provide me with mini entertainment whenever he's near me. It can be as stoopid as calling objects not by name but its associated noise. For example, instead of saying "Can borrow your stapler?", he will say "Can I borrow your click click".

Dana
We live so close and she's my age and she's holding a higher post than me. Very demoralising but she's a nice person. She was the 1st person to invite me out for lunch. Oh yeah, she loves to Karaoke! Hehehe...

Hazel
She's my manager and I really look up to her, almost literally. She's the best mentor anyone could ever ask for. Thanks to her I can pick up things faster than I thought and she has been doing very well tolerating my stoopid questions. Really!

Isaac
Ah... the first thing he said to me was "If you want to get to know a lot of people, you should lunch with me". Till now I am still lunching with him and I've got no regrets so far. I've gone to so many hawkers and foodcourts here thanks to him. In fact, I have pretty much covered every eating place here! Ta-Dah!

Ivan
The nerd with a Phantom bike, I kid you not!

Jereme
There are so many versions on how to pronounce his name. I used to call him Jerome and some do call him Jeremy. Both wrong! Hehe... He's so-called my director and he's a very nice, tanned, lean man.

Joanne
We call her Babarian (like Singaporean, but for babas) now thanks to me. She has helped me so much from my first day till now. She even gave me advice on how to perform my job better. She also relate to me some haunting stories in the office for my entertainment. What a sweetheart.

Khang Lip
My designer. Always have the impression that he's a very strict/stern/fierce/no shit kind of guy. Just one lunch with him and I realise how much we are alike (creativity wise). He has also thought me a lot about how the company's production side operates hence it does make my work flow clearer. Hopefully he will stay nice to me everyday! Cos' he is going to be one of them who will be stepping on my toes.

Vivian
I swore I thought she's an intern the first time I talked to her. I only got to know her name, age etc a week later. She will talk to me every morning in the bus and I have no clue who she is.

Ok, I'm exhausted. No, not really. Is just that I still need to remember more names. Hehe...
