Received a call from an agency regarding a job position as an Admin Officer. Told them to go ahead and send my resume. I believed at that time that I wouldn't get a reply.

Received second call from agency. I was shortlisted for an interview the following day. I agreed and all was set.

Went for interview at 9.30am at The Concourse. Took a walk down memory lane when heading there since it was the same route I took to the SJAB HQ few years ago. The interview was quite fun and not as bad as I expected. I was interviewed by 2 people.

Received call early in the morning that the company has decided to hire me. I prepared myself but didn't get a call till quite late in the afternoon. Hence, I did not manage to sign my contract that day.
Met my good friends for dinner at Suntec's Astons after that. Had a good time, should do that more often. Hehe...Planning...

Did not really do much, except heading to Parkway to shop. Bought a top for work there. Then went to the expo John Little sale. Squeezed through the crowd, and bought a pair of shoes, shower scrub and kettle chips. Dinner at White Sands I think.

Conquered Bukit Timah Hill along with Ben and 2 of his friends. Woke up at 6.30am and was out of the house by 7.05am. Had breakfast at Simei, 2 eggs and 1 slice of bread, along with a cup of Teh O. Reached Bukit Timah Hill at around 8.30am but it was about 9am when we managed to start hiking since there was limited parking lots.
I still can't decide if climbing the stairs or going down the stairs is worse. Going up was exhausting, going down made my knees hurt because of the stones. I was lucky to see a squrriel but did not catch which species it was. Hope I can get a picture next time.
Went for lunch at Siglap after the hike. We had Yong Tou Foo. It was quite nice really and I think I'll go there again sometime soon. Then we all ended up shopping at Parkway. Again. Was fun though, since the girls really loved shopping. Bought another top for work(Ben got it for me). Dinner was takeaway for me, the delicious curry chicken from the food court there.

Went down to Tanjong Pagar to sign my contract with the agency at 3pm. Left at about 4pm, then headed down to the This Fashion at Paya Labar. So many clothes and so cheap. Had alot of fun trying the formal wear. Only bought 2 skirts because I did not want to spent too much. In the end, they were 40% off each and I spent only $34.80 in total. Promise to go back soon, before GSS ends.
Met Ben at Tampines for dinner. Finally, I got to eat Sakae! Haha..refreshing...

First day of work. Reported at 8.15am and found myself way too early. HR and Receptionist wasn't even there yet. A kind soul let me into the reception area to sit, then I happened to meet one of my interviewers who waved to me. He told me to wait for awhile for the HR to settle the admin work before I'm handed over to him.
In the midest of our conversation, who should walk in but the MD himself! I scared stiff! Oh, it's a Japanese company, so the upper management are mostly Japanese and politeness is of utmost importance. Not to mention that females are generally supposed to be more submissive in the japanese culture. SCARY!
I am still in the training stage so there wasn't much work yet. My mentor is the same person who interviewed me so I'm still scared of him. Of course, there's the Manager to be afraid of too. I hope everything goes well, since I have to stay for the next 6 months. Oh, they treated me lunch today. So I'll have to find a way to treat them back the next time, probably when I get my first pay. Company politics.
Phew... I need to head to bed....
