Thanks to a packet of chicken chop I had for supper, i had diarrohea from midnight until 4+ in the morning and I had to wake up at 7.30. I was dead tired and my mind was not working well.

1st day of work

- Reached workplace at 0850. The office door was locked, apparently, no one was there except me.

- Sat at the coffee shop table basking the warm morning sun. I meant it. The sun was warm and nice and I was hoping to get abit of tan as I am too fair for a guy.

- No one came, I called the boss, he asked me to continue waiting and so I did.

- Finally someone came at 0915+ a colleague whom I nv met before. haha..

- Got nothing to do. Making things worse, my allocated PC had no internet access, I was trying to get an internet connection but to no avail. Colleagues came and nv spoke to me. Finally one did and subsequent another came to help me set up my PC - finally for internet and email.

- Dilly dally until lunch time. Waited like 20+ min for one plate of fried rice, not bad and reasonbly priced.

- Back to office, boss was back. He briefed me on how to update client database. NB ! It was really brief ! I could hardly catch what he was trying to say and then he asked me to go update after forwarding me 15 emails which contained information on the inventory items.

- Another colleague briefed me on taking technical phone calls. This is one of the jobscope I will be helping her in. well I am supposed to take over this technical helpdesk thing. The briefing was nothing. In the end I still could not get much of it esp the email forwarding part. There was like 1295 technical emails on the mail server and I was supposed to reply them all ? Luckily one colleague who was about to quit helped me to siphon off most of the redundant emails.

- Helped boss to run an errand to the bank. It was pouring. This was to help bank in a cash cheque for one of the other boss stationed now in Malaysia. The only thing given to me was a cheque and the reciepient's debit card no. Then the bank teller lady told me she found a direct link to the person's bank acct and she advised me to bank direcly into it instead of banking into the debit acct. This will make the money to be available sooner. I told boss abt it and he was quite "unhappy", thinking I did not fulfil his orders. I explained to him that debit cards all have a direct bank acct which the deductions of transactions are based upon. He thought his colleague did not have a UOB account. I said, if he had no such account, how did he manage to pay his debit card transactions ? This is how a debit card work !

- Continued updating the database after downloading the chunk of emails which I dunno what to do about them. The other boss called and asked me to get an EZ Link card for a new foreign colleague who will be coming tomorrow. I got $30 from the boss and bought a $25 Ez link card with $17 worth of travel fare.

- Went back home,dinner,watched Xi Ling Meng,bathed, on pc. Feeling tired, stressed,confused,intimidated. Depression and anxiet are creeping up on me, yet again.
