Roller Coaster Ride

First night online since work started

this one week feels like a super compressed drama
with mood swings going like the roller coaster ride
ups and downs
and yet not too far off that the feelings fall off the ride

starting with the first day
nobody realised i was there
staring at the cubicle, doodling on my notepad for hours
waiting for time to pass and the boss to come..
sliding around the office like i was invisible
and the walls of the cubicle just seem to separate ppl
silence and more silence.. ppl ard just feels so quiet
nearly eating lunch alone (luckily got jie, jj they all ard)
found out that the internet switch on my computer was touch based
(thanks to pongy)
feeling like a lost boy trying to enter the office
cos my access card couldn't

end of first day - low . headache . bored . lonely . neglected

second day was poles apart
starting with two project managers briefing me in the morning
the wow part came from me being able to choose which project i wan to join
and which team i wan to go..
and the dilemma comes along as well
nvr met so many new faces, knew so many new names
and heard abt so many info
and spoke to so many ppl in one day
but the choice remains occluded and blurred
even though the mind was made up by the end of the day
at least the goal is clear
and no more whiling time away staring at the wall
(thanks to jie n jj for the advice again :) )
oh.. lunch was a choice between two groups of lunch ppl from my dept
vastly different from my first day..
I'm visible now! and i noe lotsa ppl!

end of 2nd day - happy . decided . sociable

third day was finalising my team and
reading and more reading..
my superiors going to change because i chose the different project..
didn't expect that by this 3rd day, my team and project has changed.. haa
lunch with the cubicle ppl.. second lunch with them..
didn't speak much.. but they're nice ppl.. :)
starting to like my place. it's so big compared to the other offices
and i'm free to go where i like and at my own time
the privacy just seems nice and the scenery is amazing from the seat
since the cubicle faces the southern ridges and surrounded by windows.
nice :)

end of 3rd day - settling down . happy

fourth day was web seminar day
skipped lunch to read up on the stuff before the web seminar
first time attending an one and half hour online conference
need to call in using telephone some more..
tiring and sorta drifts off after a while but it was eye opening
even though i didn't eat lunch, three of them came to jio me for lunch consecutively..
happy! starting from linda, jianwen to pauline.. nice nice.. :)
rendy even offered to pack lunch for me.. nice ppl!

end of fourth day - i like my place :)

fifth day was department's take a walk day in the afternoon at southern ridges
great walking with ch, linda, jianwen, kenny, ziyang, darren they all..
haha.. ji chi pang can be so leng sometimes
and ch pops out the most funny stuff w a straight face, fun ppl.. haha
mm.. going to miss them
cos it's confirmed that i'm moving to my new cubicle on monday
sitting with the new team,
wonder how's life going to be
but i noe.. the ppl gonna be different..
and work's gonna get heavier!

end of fifth day - ready for the change . missing the ppl already . time to meet new ppl

some one asked me abt the gan yan for this week..
mm well..
challenges came
and i pounced upon the chances..
not going to turn back and can't turn back too..
