Hi guys.. i'm feeling so excited. haha.. can't wait to burst this joy outta me.. today.. my first day at work.. everything was good. from the colleagues to the environment.. guess the only complaint i could make was that it was drizzling on my way to work.. din bother to bring umbrella lah.. juz brave it thru man!

was a slack day. basically went to the office at 0830h. then the Visual Merchandising guys weren't around.. so i was attached to the Graphics department which was juz adjacent to the VM cell.. made friends with Xing.. he's one of the graphic designer of WingTai Clothing.

i sat behind him. doing nothing. absolutely nothing.. i watched him do the final touch-ups to his brochure.. and all i thought about was... what's his pay? what's that program he's using etc.. I WANT HIS JOB. wahahahaha... hmmm.. gotta brush up on Freehand liao.. i think i'll like his job. wish they hire me as part-time graphic designer. but then VM ain't bad at all lah!

then around 10+ to 11am, this guy Elwyn came in. he looks malay or is he juz super tan? he's a funny guy.. he can speak mandarin and hokkien too.. he is one of 3 VM executives. the others being Dyson(seems the most senior. look stern but i heard he's alrite guy..) & Cedric(haven seen him yet). i followed him around and collected some posters and stuff and loaded up his van.

lunch time at 1pm.. he drove me to ECP Lagoon food centre. we joined another 2 ppl for dinner.. they were his Elwyn's financial planner & his brother. the financial's planner's brother i mean.. the trio were avid fishing kakis. they talked from their fishing experiences to the superlative performance of Ronaldinho against Real Madrid. i just ate my Mee Rebus as i listened intently.. not that i mind.. they're funny ppl.. all at least a decade elder than me.. hehe..

then after a long lunch and chat, elwyn drove me to town. we strolled from Plaza Singapura to Lucky Plaza making stops at every Dorothy Perkins store to check out the sales and arrangements of fixtures and mannequins.We did window shopping too! Elwyn was checking out a Crumpler laptop bag. thinking hard abt whether to buy.. $179. which made me tempted too!! kekeke.. we chatted lots while walking and i got a lil' worried abt not making the grade in making a visual impact with the mannequins n stuff.. din wanna think too much.. one step at a time i guess..We happen to bum into his fren. he told us abt this Canon fren of his who could get digicams cheap.. elwyn was realli helpful.. he offered to help me get one too.. it's so outrageously cheap loh.. the price they quoted.. 5 Megapixel Ixus Camera around 100+ to 200+. they say stuff sale. well.. if they would let me buy at that price i'll be over the moon.. fingers crossed.. we stop at Lucky plaza and chatted more at a kopitiam. bought him coffee as we chatted. he amazed me in many ways.. he had this ear lopes with a metal ring in it. as in... 2 holes in his ear lopes with a ring forming the circumferance of the hole.. he used to own a fish farm in pasir ris.. he used to own 4 dogs.. now left 2.. he used to deal with exotic fishes and also cross breed them. he dealed and was caught for dealing those exotic reptiles.

he is an interesting guy.. how i wish i'm under him.. but it's oni for the day.. tomolo i'll be under the stern looking dyson(pronounced as day-sen) liao.. hmmm.. Elwyn let me off for the day at 4.30pm. he wrote my punch card at 5pm. heh.. now... i juz hope the camera thing is the real deal.. *pray hard*


eh.. was i working today? i felt i was shopping..
