2nd day at work.. Been abit boring becoz theres nothing much to do yet.

DAY 1
Took a cab to work becoz I have no idea which bus stop I am supposed to alight.
Reached office at 8.30am sharp.
Met up with the admin who reports to work at 8am during the fasting month.
The rest of the office slowly walks in at around 9am.

Let me introduce my new colleagues~
There's Mr Lai, my immediate superior who is the manager.
First impression : Looks kinda young, probably early 30's, doesn't look like the fierce and strict type. Should be okie

Then there's Soh, the technical engineer.
First impression : The HAIR~ er... how shud I decribe. Example those centre parting ones are 5-5. he is a 9-1.. looks super funny lor but of cos I don't dare to laugh lah.

Then theres Erica, another technical engineer.
First Impression : She reminds me of CHERYL~ Bubbly character but serious at work. Er.. plump plump cute cute.

Admin's name is Ahdar
First Impression : Sounds very nice on the phone. But speaks rather slow haha
Okie thats about all my colleagues and there a total of 6 technicians over here.

So when Mr Lai walked in, he asked me to his desk and sort of chit chat to know more about my previous work experiences. Briefed me abit on the building history and I was sent back to my desk reading the mechanical systems manual...

SUPER SIANZZ~
I nearly fell asleep on several occasions. Luckily, Soh was nice enough to walk me around the building. Then Soh drove us all out to lunch. It seems that this is the everyday routine, as there is nothing to eat nearby.

6pm sharp left. Took a ride from Soh to the bus stop. Took bus to dhoby ghaut mrt stn, then took NEL, then bus again back home. Tiring man~

DAY 2
Took bus to NEL, NEL to dhoby ghaut then bus to MFA where I have to walk up a super long slope before reaching the building. Took me slighly over an hour. This is shorter than what I expected. I was late, reached at 8.45am and as usual the rest starts walking in at 9am.

Mr Lai called for meeting among us. I was assigned to some services finally~ No more reading of manuals. I will be incharged of Pest Control, Cleaning, Lifts and Central Vacuum. Then Mr Lai walked me around the building, pointing out places where I have to prioritise. Walked one round, back to office again.

~Cheryl.. ur expertise will be much appreciated, I will be bugging u if i have any problems haha~

After lunch, Soh handed over Pest Control and CV to me. Walked me around the building again. This time showed me more of the stuff that I need to know. Its interesting to me coz I have never handed this kinda stuff before.

I'm kinda glad that I won't be incharge of building and plumbing works anymore. I'm so sick of them after so many years. Life in MFA sounds so much easier than army camps. I'm glad I got this job as I will be able to learn more things~
