Missing In Action

other depts next to us

our break area
(free drinks for staff from vending machines)

our break area
(cosy booths)

its been 18 days
since i last blogged

days passed very fast
when you are working
really cannot keep up
with blogging everyday anymore

all i can summarized is
for my last 19 days at work
has beem fulfilling, satisfying
though working after 8 is a norm
I am not complaining
well, at least not for NOW.
colleagues and supperiors are great
environment easy to blend in
plenty of freedon and flexibility.
i guessed its the culture of this company

our lunch hour is always somthing
to look forward to
colleagues are adventurous
to lunch far and out:
chinatown, wisma, harbourfront, bras basah
just to name a few for now.

come this Oct we wouldnt be enjoying
these little adventures anymore
we are moving out of atrium@orchard! :"(
HR has named some possible locations
loyang (boo!), changi (boo!), imm (happy),
capricorn at science park (boo!),
100 near harbourfront (boo!)
but they are still looking
but hinted that renting
office space in orchard road strip
is no longer possible due to sky high rental

so much for the sad news.
the good news is i have received my pay!
yar, it was credited into my acct
on 15th July and its a full months' pay
check with bee lan and she confirmed
our pay day is 15th of every month
its as good as every staff
gets an advancement
of their half months' pay ahead!
wah! american company rulez man!

till next time i blog (dont ask me when)
hopefully we will know
where we are moving too

Day ONE at Work - MTV/Nickelodeon Viacom Consumers Product

was almost late this morning for work
traffic jam at BKE/PIE
unexpected even though
day One starts work at 10 am.
made it on time
even to go 'PS'
'anxiety shit' la :"P

introduction and office tour
orientations start
with my dept managers
they are fun people
no air no problem
GREAT team, seriously!

bee lan was my appointed buddy
(whom i have known for many years)

omar, my senior director
who also started work today
and whom i am reporting to
is also someone i already knew since
my Warner Bros / Cartoon Network days
its like one big family gather ubder the same roof again.
AND EVER so coincidentally

Indra, Omar and myself all share
the same birthday on August 10!
How much more 'family' can that be!

lunch break was brief
cos its back to orientation again
at 2.30 and ended at 5.30

so its back to organising my desk
'orientation' with the MAC **sweat**
sooooo not used to it **CRY**

my Day One ended at around 7.30
left with bee lan
looking forward to day Two.
