i must be HAPPY

i blog everyday so as to remind ppl i’m still alive and kicking and to keep people entertain. (esp during work) :P

today began my first real day of work. (actually not really also..)

after morning exercise,
boss say he will get someone to show me around the team.
but that person not in office yet.
so i have to wait.
and then boss say: like that u go clear ur rubbish. see that exit sign? there got all the recycle bins.

and so i went to throw rubbish.
initially wanted to sort out the rubbish into the different bins.
but the bins are not labelled and i had difficulties identifying which is which.
so in the end i gave up.
just threw everything into the normal rubbish bin.

the A/E came.
and showed me around to all the team members.
all seem to be nice people who are approachable.
shake hand and smile to everyone.
but honestly cant remember their name at all.

after i’m done with the intro,
went back to seat and A/E gave me notes on autoCAD drawing standards in the yard.
went thru them once and began to feel bored.
begun to play with the computer and try find some drawings to study.
but i wasnt hook up to the network yet so cant find any.

but it’s lunchtime already anyway.
a nice colleague came and jio me go eat lunch.
when i left, boss and another senior engineer still working.
make me feel so guilty for leaving my place. :(
but then if i dun go, i wont have place to sit for lunch.

was eating halfway and got a surprise phone call from uncle robson!!!
woohoo!~ hahaha..i think i scared my colleague when i exclaimed to the phone so loudly. :P
really din expect to get a call from batam loh..hahaha..
but then the connection not very good. i cant really hear him clearly.

lunch over and back to office.
attended my first meeting ever.
and going to get involve somehow in my very first project! :D
quite excited but at the same time quite worried coz i may be working on something i’m not good at.
but we’ll see how lah.
the 2 bosses were very funny in meeting.
but i got to say they were pretty longwinded too.
and they sometimes contradicts themselves.
at some point i had to pinch myself to wake up!
ouch!

the coming project is going to be ABS class certified.
so i supposed i shld go do some readings.
hmmm hmmm hmmm… need to somehow find a way to get the readings.

meeting was over and it’s back to my place to study drawing again.
the nice colleague came and help me hook up my comp to the dept network
and i finally can access the different drawings! :)

but then i was still bored so i went over to the A/E and asked for more reading materials.
he passed me this big book of scope of work from a previously completed project.
i think he scared i go ask him for more things again. :P

boss came back my place and ask how i was coping.
i told him what i did and then he say i shldnt read up on the past projects.
boss wants me to practise with autoCAD instead.
so it’s back to fumbling with the drawings again.

thank God it’s nearly time to go too~
agreed to go out with cousin so we left together! :)
went to collect my security tag from HR and had a wonderful chat with the very nice HR. :D

went down to orchard for dinner.
cousin had a ‘fren’ who wanted to join us
but got stuck in traffic jam.
so we happily ate without that person.

went walk walk a little after that.
wanted to get shoes for convo but really can find decent nice shoes. :(
nvm.i still got 1more wk.

finished walking and went have a drink with cousin. :D
i really need to control a bit sia..
almost drinking once every wk le.

but then the place atmosphere quite nice lah.
i had a great time nua-ing on the comfy chair with cousin. :)
except that the drink wasnt as nice as i expected.
too much milk taste already!

too pictures but then now too tired to upload le.
eyes nearly shutting.

************************************************************

u say ur schedule changes.

so just to let u know,

u may pick any time that suits u to go out with me. :)

but kindly if possible place advance booking for a day,
so i dun have to cancel out on any friend the last min.
(u know i wont say no to u so try not to make use of it lah. :P)

Good nite.
i really cant tahan le.

completed my orientation today!

almost fall asleep for most of the dept.
coz not enough sleep from last nite. :P

got lost today during lunchtime bcoz i cant identify the canteen.
poor xue di had to walk out to act as a landmark.
so paiseh!
but anyway,

Happy Birthday Suan Hong! the best cutie pie xue di around! :D

report to dept after orientation ended.
bosses are both very nice.
(i think lah. and i hope they’ll be.)

how come the team so few struc engineers?
and so many empty seats.
no wonder big boss say going to get more ppl in.

tml going to discuss with boss what i can do.
ppl say i’ll need to do calculation.
very jialet. i forget all the stuff i learn in sch already!!!
think i’ll bring along my textbk.
(just in case)

fellow orientationees told me something interesting today.
i think i better check myself.
Be nice. But NOT OVERLY NICE.
Smile. But DONT SMILE TOO MUCH.

but anyway, i’ve got very friendly colleagues.
good news to me.
at least like that i dun have to eat lunch alone i think. :P

-yawnz-
tired. time to sleep!

thanks cousin for the encouragement. :)
dun worry. although the production talks did put me off a little, today’s HSE was great!
i love it!

and a big thank you to uncle robson.
u have no idea how aptly ur sms came last nite.
at the pt of time when i was most miserable,
ur sms makes me felt that at least i’ve got a fren who truly cares and wants to know how i’m coping with work. :)

just like u say my email makes ur day.
ur sms makes me not so miserable. :)

it’s no wonder u’re my best-est friend! :D

************************************************************

today i found my passion for the yard again!
went onboard 2 tankers.
the safety people are real nice to bring us around teaching us the places and things onboard the ships.

but the most wonderful time is when we get to climb down the crude oil tank.
no one knows how thrilled i am.
i absolutely loved every min spent there. :D

thinking whether i shld request for a change of dept.
but of coz i’ve got to consider that now it’s fun, but after it bcomes everyday affair,
will it still be as interesting? or will i hate it?

it’s always like that.
got one good doesnt mean got two good. 

but going onboard really makes me very excited.
although i’m tired, i’m still very ‘high’ from it. :D 

tml i’ll be back to my dept. finally!
hope it will be just as good.

good nite everybody.
*skips around the room. coz still high*

it’s already very tiring after the orientation.

why did u all have to make my life miserable when all i want is to have a good rest?

i dun think anyone can understand how sad and lonely i am now.
closing the door doesnt close everything out.

i dun understand how an adult can be so irresponsible with his life.
and how an adult can shift blame to another person so easily.

i kept quiet bcoz i’m really too tired to rebut.
not bcoz i think i’m wrong.

i already tried my best to be as good as i can be.
what more do u all want from me?

thanks for elaborating on the reason for the present
else i’ll still be stress accepting it.

but then again,
there’s really no need for expensive presents
just to express some things.

it wld be more than enough
if i get a msg asking abt my day instead.
(but of coz, by asking for that i’m too greedy already. but well, just a suggestion.)

*****************************************************************

passed by kino ytd.
read the beginning of the time traveller’s wife.
it’s actually better than i expected.
i wldn’t have stop reading if it wasnt that it’s time to go.
tot of buying the book but then i only got 5min and the queue was horrendous.

*****************************************************************

anyway, i also did something that i’m sure lau dou and yishan will humtam me to death if they know what happen.

walked into a shop and came out without my heart even skipping a beat.
no doubt their goods were excellent.
i admire their splendour.
but i wasnt excited.

there must be something wrong with my head!

*****************************************************************

for the first time of my 23yrs,

i’ve got trouble falling asleep last nite.

i dunno why but my head was in a estacy state.
random thoughts kept coming in and i cant seem to stop it.
it took me a while to calm my mind down.

my plan of sleeping early got disrupted as a result.

and then i woke up too early in the morning.
ideal was to wake up at 6.
i woke up at 4.

probably i’m just too excited.
but anyway, told myself i cant wake up so early so i forced myself back to sleep.
and as a result overslept a little.

*****************************************************************

preparing to go to the first day of work
was a mad rush of getting things done.
even though i thought i got myself all prepared.

was suppose to meet cousin at the mrt and take shuttle.

end up needing mom to send me direct to yard.

got held up at the security too.
coz they din have our name in the list.
missed the morning exercise.

but doesnt really matter since it’s the first day.

*****************************************************************

orientation is a series of lectures.
had to visit the various depts.

i became a easy target for quite a number of comments coz
1. i’m a girl.
2. i’m not in operations.
3. i’m not scholar.

but doesnt matter.
i’ll prove myself somehow.

*****************************************************************

it’s a torture today wearing the extremely high heels.
especially with the blisters.

actually fall down the stairs today while exiting the building.
a big bang on the floor.
but surprisingly my legs are fine.
i suppose the blueblack has yet to develop.

*****************************************************************

met with some sort of accident today too.
thanks cousin for saving me!

*****************************************************************

i’m actually quite happy to be able to start work.
but then a whole day of walking and listening actually make me very tired.

need to sleep.

i wrote a silly poem and wanted to post on blog.
but i’m really lazy to fetch the book over.

good nite everyone.
working is a challenge and i’m going to conquer it!

looking forward to tml!
