New Year, new work place :)

Realised that it's been awhile since I dropped a note in my blog here...:)

2009 has just passed us by, we are now in Year 2010, and Chinese New Year is approaching again.

A new year, a new start. New work environment, new route to work, new colleagues, new job scope, new learning curve....

Have a look at my new workstation, still very bare, am trying to see what things I can bring there to make the place more cosier. Already in my 2nd week, and because we are currently working on our CNY collaterals, it has been a hectic 2 weeks for me. No honeymoon period, no on-the-dot knock off, everything seems to be in a fast pace, whirlwind kind of mode. Am trying to pick up as fast as I could, so that I don't cause inconvenience to my work colleagues. The work here is very different from my ex-hotel place. It's a new learning curve again.

Apart from job scope, the culture here is also very different. More flexibility in terms of working hours; dress sense more casual; transport claim allowable after 8pm (which is really good for me, as I have been working late most of the time. Lunching places also very different as they are mostly coffee shops around the area. Once a week on a Friday we will go out to other places for a leisurely lunch.

There are times I would miss my ex-workplace and ex-colleagues to whom I have formed a close bond with, as that has been my comfort zone. Moving on to a new place makes me feel insecure, and uncertain about the future at this stage.

But since I have made this choice, I should move on and not look back. I believe there would be a time when I will feel bonded with the new environment and have more friends there.

Till then, bless me ya with lots of good luck and fortune..hehe...=)

Happy New Year to all!
