First day @ work (new office - 66th Floor, KLCC)
It’s 16th Sep, Friday and yet it felt like a Monday. I guess the notion of going to work after 2 weeks of break gave me that kinda feeling.
Couldn’t hide the excitement the night before. Was busy choosing working outfit and erm.. choosing working outfit.. haha.. what can I say, am very particular when it comes to dressing the right way especially on your first day @ new work place.. didn’t they say first impression is very important and from scientific point of view, it takes up to ermm.. was it 27 good incidents (or more) to replace 1 bad incident. So you now understand why is it so important to dress up properly, huh?
Geez, I should have listened to my dad’s advice.. woke up at 6am that morning and when finally got ready to go out, realised it’s already 7 am and that’s not a good time to go out on the road. But, if you enjoy listening to the road symphony composed by raging road users… that’s an entire different story then.
Hmmm.. speaking about driving for the first time on the congested LDP exactly 2 weeks after that accident, I have to give myself lots and lots and lots of credits for reaching Kelana Jaya LRT Station effortlessly.. Oh well, maybe I did struggle a bit when started the engine.. you know there’s this fear when I felt the car vibrating mildly… I kept mumbling Hail Mary all the way from home to the LRT station.. and make sure I stopped at least half a car away behind the vehicle in front.. I did learn from my lesson!
Amazingly, reached the LRT station before 8 am, which means, I had quite some times to travel to KLCC.. I didn’t wanna be late for the first day! Managed to reach office in time, pheeeew…
Realised everyone was sitting patiently at the waiting lounge when I stepped in… Gosh, they were so early but I was on the dot.. hehe.. no need to go through the pain of waiting…
Everyone got in the meeting room and orientation started officially soon after that… Same old stuff, you do self introduction… half of the newbies are at least few years older than I am and the good thing is we are starting from the same place!! Hurrah!!

Hey there!! Guess what, I am home.. can’t believe I’m on MC just third day on the job…
Hmmm, usually 8am or earlier..
Don’t think you go to work so early right? Sigh, dunno how long I can take this… it’s really making me so so depressed… the crowded, noisy and smelly LRT! :’(
