And So Here We Go On Another Journey

Not we lah, but me. Who can imagine this is my third company within a year? Yes today is my first day at Golden Agri-Resources Ltd., situated all the way at Pasir Panjang. In fact, I am under the employment of Golden Agri International Pte. Ltd., a subsidiary of GAR lol. And I have to take a bus, 3 different trains, walk for another 5 mins to reach my workplace. Holy crap! The good thing is, if I get a car, the parking lot at my workplace is free. Hmm... Time to get a car soon?

Another good thing is, I can go to work with Dear again. It's just 3 more Circle Line stops after HarbourFront MRT station, so we're very near each other. Going home is easy too, cos we can take train to Boon Keng and then take 23 all the way home. Many options for me to go home actually, but all depends on the traffic conditions.

Today was a start learning already day. The moment I stepped in, my teammate, who was here just one month ago or so, guided me on some of the processes that he is currently doing. And I'm expected to take over by Friday cos he's going for reservist! WTF! Only left with two days to take over his stuff. Hongganz... Our other teammate is a girl who has been with the company for less than a year. So is our secretary. We all sit in a square of desks, and beside me is an empty table, supposed for the new guy coming next week, and in front of him is the Bloomberg terminal. That's our Risk Management department. Our direct boss has gone to Jakarta for a meeting and will be back later in the week. The HR lady brought me around to introduce and shake EVERYONE's hand in the afternoon. Even the cleaning/pantry aunties, receptionist, dispatch drivers, but just introducing them to me only lah, no handshakes. And I noticed tonnes of empty desks. The company is expanding rapidly. Interested people please email me your resume and I'll forward it to my HR lol.

Let's hope my next two weeks or so would be fine, cos my senior won't be around and I will have to take over all his current processes. Holy shyt!
The reception on the 6th floor looks damn cool.
The view of the artificial grass and waterfall garden from 4th floor.

Even the caps for glasses for guests got GAR logo. PRO!

The corridor that leads to my office area.
My desk is on the left. Damn new and nice-looking environment.
