Come tomorrow, i will be taking over the command of the spreadsheet in regards to middle east crude. That is after 1 week plus of handing over. And still lots to learn on my responsibilities. =P
Over at Shell house, i get to start later, which is good news as i sleep till later and also less ERP charges incurred. But the trade off is that i end later, leaving the office about 7-ish. My colleagues do leave later, so... looks like i will have to learn more and then determine how to balance my work and life.
Have time will take some photos of my office and surroundings. heh. Brought my mug bought from USS Gary to work. Finally it is back in action after 5 years in the cupboard. Hopefully i get to use the mug again onboard ship, or rather, my very own sailing boat in the future. =D

2 days of training on software =P
Well, busy for the past 2 days at my new position. So far, so good. Mainly learning on how to use the software, touching on the basics of the basics. Tomorrow will start on picking up the real stuff, from kelvin, a wonderful guy whom i will be taking over from.
Now in a team of 6, all guys, and one of whom i already knew previously. However, we have NO idea when we met and his name is Jesson, which I do have a deep impression on but we still can't trace to when we got to know one another. Strange world...=P Goes to show that i am not the only forgetful one around. heh.
Realising that i need to buy lots of stuff, more long sleeve shirts and also pants plus i need a new pair of leather shoes. My SAF issued no. 3 shoes have hardened liao. After serving me faithfully for the past 7~8 years. At least 2 years in the navy and for all the wedding dinners, interviews etc during my uni days. heh. Lived its 'shoey' life to the max liao.
So looks like gonna have to go shopping again this coming weekend. Hiaz.. have to be weekend warrior, go forth and slug it out with the huge crowd at shopping centres.

4 more days at Seraya...
Well, time flies as it is already 9th of June already. 4 more days reporting to Seraya, before I head over to Shell House next week. There are still stuff I need to do, and handover in these short 4 days. Had cleared most of the stuff, and will complete the rest by end of this week. heh. Moving on is strange as i guess i got rather attached to Seraya liao.
This would be a huge turn in the journey of my live, as it would probably signal the end of my engineering career. Using the word 'probably' as the future is rather difficult to predict and nothing is absolute in this world and anything can happen. =P Having decided taking on commercial career just 3 months ago and having succeeded on making the switch, i guess i am a bit apprehensive to how i would find my new job and whether i would succeed in it. i guess only time will tell how i would fare in the 'dog eat dog' commercial world. One thing is for sure, and that is i have less worry on my health, although i wonder if there would be an increase in the level of stress that will negate the absence of stuff which makes me uncomfortable. Good news is that stress is manageable ... =P
