First week PASSED

Finally finally FINALLY~!! Ive passed my 1st week in PIL rather peacefully? Hahahaha..
System was not up in my work station and I can only access to my email account. I couldnt log in to the internet which made most of my days reading the "bible", playing around with the already-used-to Lotus notes, and email chatting with my buddy and other newcomers. Hahaha!

Was telling them.. Its a chore acting busy. "Want work no work, Want talk cannot talk, Want surf net cannot surf net, Want walk around dono where to walk, Want sleep cannot sleep". It suxs.

Have been tagging along my buddy for lunches and my boss for some meetings. So far ive attended 3 meetings, out of which im only familiar with the finance one coz im familiar with the terms. Hahaha! The rest?.. Uh oh.. Shipping terms? Sorry, im totally clueless about it.

Was regretting why I didnt do well in my Geography during my Sec sch days when my boss was telling me about the service lines the vessels are going. Red sea, Black sea, Far East etc? From Shanghai to ?? to ?? to ?? and back to Singapore. What the .. ?!

Just when I finally have some thing to do on Fri, SHIT.. Ive made a super duper dumb dumb mistake! I was so excited that my system is finally working, and i finally figure out how to extract datas etc. Ive overlooked at the TYPE of data im going extract. Haiz.. Was supposed to extract Actual for Q1 and Proforma for Q2 so that i can tabulate H1 result and compare with H1 budget result. But I forgot about the data for Proforma Q2!!!

Dumb dumb lar! I was still very confident that i did correctly, after many checkings and told my boss "ok.. Im done". When my boss opened the file. He was super duper disappointed and "lectured" me - "you know, you can always ask me if you dont understand. Im ok to discussion one. Its very obvious that you dont understand coz you are only comparing Q1 result with H1 results. I will be very sad if you dont understand and you dont ask you know?".. =(

Only till then den i realise, SHIT.. I forgot about the proforma. Coz my whole mind was all about his request "compare actual against budget" and im very excited about playing around with new system. Haiz.. Guess I will just have to relax.. think 1st den react. Hahaha.

Ok.... Now about the people I met. People here are quite nice. But i still miss the people in FDI. Hahaha! Maybe coz PIL is a big organisation and Ive always prefer working with smaller groups. At least you'll feel more "family warmth"? Hahaha.

There were altogether 6 staff who went for the orientation on Mon including myself. Quite easy to get along with maybe coz our age group is about the same? 22-24 age? Hahaha.. And all of us are from Poly.. So the "bringing up" is similar. Whahaha! Had lunch with them on Thurs. Felt quite comfortable, discussing the work we are doing, sharing infos that we know about this co. and our chairman. Whaha! Really like a bunch of attachment students working together. Haha!

Sad thing about my lunch time is that it starts at 1pm! So different from my used-to-lunch at 12pm. And I have to give up the idea of lunching with my friends working near me! (><) Cant lunch with Jan, Oppa & Els le lar!! And i havent figure out the way to Hong Lim, so cant lunch with Aileen for the time being.. (><)
