Day 1 - Whee!

Ok ok... i may have spoken too soon. As always...


So day 1... first of all, i have to say that even day -1 was good. I was lying around in Somerset all day and only went out late in the afternoon. Went around Tiong Bahru plaza with Ricky and Melbin, had some food (and burned my tongue) and took care of some house stuff. After that I had a drink with some SCB friends. Doing these little regular things make me feel a lot better actually.

and today I had Day 1... as always me being me, I got lost for a while trying to figure out which elevator to take (apparently you take escalator going up, then take elevator to 38th, then transfer elevator to get to 43rd. phew!). When I got to the office, my direct superior was there and introduced me to a few people. I think that was only when I realized that I really am in a Group role. The team is actually quite multi-cultural (and much older but I'm used to that). I was brought to a meeting for one of the projects and I realized that my role has already reversed. I used to be the person in country screaming at Group. Now, I am seeing what goes on behind the scenes, what efforts need to be done in order to get all these things rolled out to different countries. Overall, I think I'm up for a very interesting ride. Actually, now I'm quite excited to be where I'm at. There's a lot for me to learn, it's in the area of my interest and I think my skill set also fits. Let us see where this ride takes me....

Oh. I twisted my ankle at lunch. haha. accident prone area. Pero ok lang... I think I'm beginning to bounce back. :D
