first day
1.5hrs more to the end of my first day at work.
many hellos, handshakes and names that i cannot remember except for those in my own department.
a lot of things to read up on, learn and catch up with. complicated machines at work to learn to use and a staff tel directory in a3 size with font size 5. the most extensive that i have seen in my entire working life thus far. (ok, i only worked in local companies before)
and extensive lunch lasting almost 2 hours, a store visit to know more faces and restaurant concept. a whole department of pretty girls to work with.
2 meetings to take note of (within the week), 1 dinner date on this friday and many more activities to come. it’s only hours since i have been here, and my inbox has got 9 emails pertaining to work already. wow. can u feel the vibe here?
i am a little daunted, but determined to work it out. i think i will be happy here. just pray for me that i am able to get to work on time. i am almost late today despite leaving the house quite early.
i dont dare to use msn as yet. too many peeping eyes and low partitions. everyone can see what im doing.
ok. logging out before i am being discovered! im seated right beside the ceo’s office!
Cherie
Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
