Yesterday was my first day on job. When i knew I was one of the 3 newcomers to go on job, I was quite worried because I have no experience! Moreover, the company was rather big.. Anyway, I decided to go with an open-mind since I knew the other 2 peeps. Initially, I was rather sianz by the fact that I'll be working with this girl whom I exchanged 2 sentences with so far. She looks serious and stressed at the thought of going on job that I think she totally panicked. Coincidentally, we lived in the same area and she, being a foreigner, decided to follow me home since she doesnt know Singapore well. Along the way home, we chatted and amazingly, we chatted all the way home, without any single second of silence.
From this, I discovered the importance of giving someone that chance to interact with you before you crystalise your initial impression of a person. Many a time, we often "discriminate" certain people based on our first impression. While we may be right or wrong based on our superficial judgement, I think we ought to give that person a chance.
Oh, back to the job. I stayed till 9+ (and it's only my first job). However, I dont feel any pressure while working because the people in the team are damn nice! You will never feel lonely while working since there will be people in the team to chat with you, laugh with you and go through thick and thin with you. Fortunately or unfortunately, I'm starting to like what I do and be proud of our culture. I hope this sentiment will last. Afterall, I'm new, fresh and energetic and prepared to go. Haha..
Another thing I learned during work was that sometimes you feel the heat to perform. However, what you do not know is that your seniors have been silently patting you on your back for your hard work. Hence, it is crucial to lower that very high expectations of yours and learn to take it easy. What matters most is you know you have give it your all. :)

I'm one hell of a lucky woman. After a tiring day at work yesterday, I was feeling kind of grouchy and tend to snap rather easily. I feel blissful to have dear's understanding. In fact, he's buying breakfast for me now.. *I love you dear! Thanks for everything!*
