thought ~ MAN bought me a throw rug from IKEA, it’s for me to cover myself when watching tv in living hall, I fell asleep in it because it’s really warm.

Me and MAN like to share our daily story with each other, especially story at work nowadays.

I’m new to the place, except speaking different languages to different people in a new working environment, I’m still being myself basically. At work, I work with a team of young, energetic and talented people, me, being a Malaysian Chinese who don’t really differ a lot from the local Chinese blended really well with them.

People who know me well must have realized that I’m a straightforward and direct people, I don’t kiss people’s ass just to get myself off to better place. My facial expression will clearly indicate my view most of the time, I react as what I think it’s right. But being frank and direct might not benefit me sometimes.

I took MAN’s advice to be more considerate and tactful when talking to superior. And be more mindful and judicious when mingle with others.

I am not aware that my forthright manner might be harsh to others. Now I recall past incidents, I might just being kind but people might get hurt by my spiteful words.

Now I’m trying to be moderate. I am happy that MAN is honest when analysing my character, he accepted me as myself and be my mentor whenever I need an advice.

thought ~ It’s 16°C outside, I’m hiding under my warm blanket.

The first weekend, I went shopping and bought a jacket, I bought only one because I was unsure whether I will be here for the winter. I should have bought more.

Winter started since last Friday. This is the first in my lifetime living in a four seasons’ country, although there is no snow but it’s definitely a great experience for me. The seasons distinguished itself so clearly, it was still hot, humid and sunny on Thursday and it turned significantly to cold and windy on Friday.

Last weekend, me and MAN went to IKEA, it was a relaxing afternoon, we didn’t really buy anything there, we don’t have our house here and don’t really have a point to get furniture. We were there for lunch, the Swedish Meatballs, Spaghetti Bolognese, Tiramisu and the free refill coffee. I felt like back in KL when stepped in IKEA, the arrangement are very much the same except all tags in both English and Chinese, and it is just half the size of IKEA in KL.

Most of the time, the indoor temperature is higher than outdoor. Me and MAN were wearing sweater and crammed our palms in pockets. It’s interesting to see people wearing winter coat, boots and scarfs, it’s a total different scene than the Malaysians’ summer wears all year long.

I’m planning to get myself a pair of boots for the later colder weather, but look at my wide feet and fat legs, I wish myself good luck in getting a decent looking one.

thought ~ Yawn… I’m sleepy again.

It was a busy week. It’s only the first week I started my job but I worked overtime for 2 days continuously, my first assignment is to thoroughly understand the new developing application and give a presentation to the client who visited the site. I wouldn’t say that’s a tough job, but that definitely worn me out. After relax for almost a month, picking up new task is exciting, but my brain need sometime to perform at its full speed. I was tired and fell asleep really early.

That’s why I don’t have idea on what to write for this Friday post. MAN was going out for badminton, I asked him to give me a topic to write about. He paused for a moment and asked, “Have you ever wrote about the forgetful me?” I can’t recall any forgetful moment of MAN and doubtfully asked, “Forgetful about what?”. “Don’t know, I always forget this and that… .”

MAN left, and I’m still trying to recall any unmindful case of MAN.

5mins…

18mins…

30mins…

And I’m still thinking… I think I’m forgetful the one, not MAN.

thought ~ I keep falling asleep when watching tv nowadays, the new working life has reset the clock in my body.

I started my new work on Thursday, I got to rest after 2 working days, which wasn’t too bad.

My office is located quite a distance away from where I’m staying. So I decided to charter a car to pick me up to work everyday, this sounds luxurious but actually not, but I rather spend more on the transportation than having myself squeezing in the bus every morning, and uncertain whether able to reach the office on time, eventhough we have 30mins flexible hour but still, I prefer to have control on my own time and minimize all the unexpected event.

The working hour starts from 8am and ends at 5pm. Traveling in bus takes around 50mins if the traffic is smooth. So I estimate 30mins if travel by car, taking into consideration all suppositions, I told the driver to pick me up at 6.30. I woke up at 6am, got ready and got on the car on time, the traffic smooth like hell, and I arrived at the office area few minutes before 7am, only very little cars the streets, only a few bakeries and 7 Eleven were on business. I strolled on the streets.

I was a little bit clever the next day, we departed at 6:40am, oh heck, I reached at 7.05am. The HR lady will only open the office around 7.45am. I again walked on the street, hoping to get a McD at the area but there’s none.

I tried 6:50am but still, I was the first one to reach the office and waited for around 30mins before entering the office. Finally today, I went out from home at 7am, I arrived at 7:30am, bought a bread and coffee, hang around for 10mins, and the HR lady is there.

So 7am is the best timing and I’m sticking to it.
