First official day of work! It was great really. Had a walk around the plant, part of the induction program. The pilot plant’s not exactly huge. It’s just 3 storey tall, but it’s reli interesting!! The tour made all the useless textbook stuff that we learnt in sch seem so much more realistic and hmm enticing? Haha. For once, I was glad to be an engineer!
Oh.. sth else really awesome happened today. I got my own laptop set up at work, that means internet access! Woohoo!! At long last. =)
There’s this phd girl, Sarah, who’s staying at the GSK house with me. She went home to Southampton over the wkend, and was back today. It was great having someone physically there to talk to. Haha. She was from University of Oxford – Collage of Christchurch, where Harry Potter was filmed! So she was showing me pictures of her hall dining room.. (the exact same grand hall where the harry potter ppl dined!!) it’s sooooooo pretty!! And when u compare that with our lousy ntu canteen.. oh well, u dun even want to start thinking abt it.. makes you really depressed. Heh. Anyway, I made a resolution to go visit the University of Oxford.. especially the grand dining room with the loooooooooong tables!! Even if I have to travel alone, I’ll make sure I visit there within the next 18mths. Heh. Wait for my pictures!! =)
Oooh, btw, this reli sux. My colleagues here all strongly believe that I’m malay. Not Chinese. Not saying that there’s anything bad being perceived as a Malay of coz. BUT. BUT. How is it possible that they can proclaim so confidently that I’m surely not Chinese??!! Sigh. Tanned Chinese DO exist you know. Bah. Time will tell. Wait for me to decolourize with the disappearance of the sun, and for my yellowish Chinese roots to show.
P.S. I went supermarket shopping today AGAIN. Oh well, ALL the other shops are closed at 5pm. And there’s no other form of entertainment. The supermarket’s like my second home.
~gone in a moment..
