First week in Singapore

So, I have not been updating my blog for ages. Never really had the time to write about anything. Actually, it was because there was NOTHING to write about. It was always the same. Work home eat sleep. BORING. Anyways, I have ample of time (currently yes because it’s not the peak period as yet in my workplace.) so I decided to update.

So…. I quitted my old job (YEAH ME!) and I am now working in Singapore. Weeeee ~

Just started this week and I’m spending my first weekend in Singapore alone. *yawns*

Not really alone because I’ll be meeting up with my friend later. I guess alone in the sense that I’m staying with people that I don’t really know well. I’m renting a room and I’m staying with a family here. The room is spacious. Lots of drawers for me to put my stuff. I didn’t bring that many things either because it was such a rush. I had just a week to settle everything. Gosh, I hated that few days. Too many things to worry about.

Anyways, most of the things are done. Hopefully everything will flow smoothly. Obviously , few things that I’m happy about working in Singapore is that everything is quite convenient. If you are working in Singapore, food can be pretty cheap. The MRT is good (better than KTM obviously). I usually leave the house slightly before 7. I’ll reach the office by 7.45. I’ll take my own sweet time to have my breakfast.

Since I’m really new with the Singapore tax law and whatnot, I take up a lot of time studying. The bosses are kind enough to understand that I’ll incur more time to read up all those cases. Basically, for the past one week, my brain is full of new information. I’m learning all over again. Usually, I’ll get so absorbed in reading and learning that I felt that eagerness, the rush, the excitement when I KNOW that I’m learning new things again.

Working in my ex-company for 5 years ++, I’ve not had this kind of feeling since I first started working there. Although , I know that I’m practically starting all over again but I just want to gain something instead of just doing the same thing over again.  I wanted something different, so I guess I got what I wanted.

People here are kinder. HAHA. Not saying that Malaysians are rude but guys here act more like a gentleman :P (So far. I’ve only been here for a week sooooo……)

A lot of walking here. Not complaining though. As long as it’s convenient, I’m happy about it.

I’ve complained about this before and I’m going to say it again. No. Bidet. I can’t even….

I’m totally not used to NOT having a bidet in the toilet. I think it’s only the people in my department but they don’t really flush properly? Are they in a rush that they don’t bother to spend another 5 secs to flush properly?

Another problem that frustrates me is the computer system that im using is totally BLERGH. This is probably my Company’s problem. Since im a new staff, im really new to all the program and system used. The problem is that I can’t really use it at the moment. I tried asking the IT to fix but still not working. Work is piling up and if I can’t get it working then I’ll have to suffer later. Totally not my fault though but I don’t think bosses will be that understanding if the work is urgent.

Apart from that, everything is OK. Still need to get used to the flow of things. People in general are great.

Oh oh ohoh. There was this guy in office. I guess I was looking at him a lot because… he looks like my cousin brother. HAHA. He has the same eye smile, the fair skin. Height. Hair style!

Ok. Just to clarify. NOT attracted to him or anything. Just that the resemblance is just too much.  They look so alike. Haha.

MRT is efficient so far *thumbs up*

I guess no matter which country, no matter how developed, there is still one problem that nobody can fix.

B.O.

Body odor.

Haha.

No need to elaborate on that.

First week in Singapore and I’m spending quite a lot. As my friend put it “settling down fee”. 

I’ve been diligently keeping track of my expenses. I hope I won’t get lazy one day and stop doing that. HAHA. I know I have the tendency to quit something easily.

I’m enjoying the quiet life. (But not right now because the landlady is scolding her grandkids and boy, she sure has a loud voice)

Basically, I’m loving it. I have more time for myself and to do other things at my own pace. Waking up early is still something I find hard to do.

Will post up a picture of my room when the landlady is not in. haha. Gonna take nap and do some grocery shopping with my girlfriend J

I’ll update if anything interesting happens. Perhaps gonna start writing again. I’ve left most of my stories hanging since 2 years ago. My bad. Guilty as charged.

ok maybe i'll post a pix. i took few days back. HAHA. i can see the double eyelid at one side of my eye. I guess I was pretty tired then.
