My new job

Just finished a conference call; will do a quick update before i knock out..

Things have finally settled down after 2 months in my new job. I came to realise that time really heals pain. I am moving on. The emptiness and void is being filled, slowly, but surely. I'm starting to feel more and more comfortable around my new friends. Although right now there no one whom I'm close to, but I recognise that this is something that takes time.

Every company has it's own culture, so does Jab. I'm not entirely sure what Jab's culture is yet. There's some stuff that I like and stuff that I don't like. Right now it's too early to tell if I will flourish in this place.

I started my Monday salad lunch routine. It's a brave thing to do (haha), having to turn down lunch kakis and explaning my choice. It's pretty annoying to get comments from various people, but I have learnt to accept them as unavoidable. In fact at GF, even after doing the routine with Shirley for 2 years, we still get occational comments.

Also, I bought flowers for my female colleagues on Tuesday. I did that a lot in GF, and finally I got about doing that, for the first time, in Jab. It was a very pleasant experience; more than half of them were truely delighted by the bright and cheerful geberas.

This weekend, if time permits, I will do some catch up blogging on the home front. The hamsters are really doing very well! Lynn said "happy hamsters happy home!".

Other than 20 geberas, I also bought a stalk of hydrangeas for my self. I gave out 18 stalks of geberas to 9 colleagues, and kept 2 stalks for myself. View of my vase from inside my room:

I repotted my "Zhu" from GF into the green pot from Shirley, and got a new plant from Far East Floral:

My new plant. Hopefully it will last:
