I was back in sg for afew days! Why? Because my company called me back lah :P Was doing admin stuff etc. overseas expenses claim and all that. On the other hand, I got to find out more about my work… actually, stuff associated to my work but not the stuff I’ll be doing but it never hurts to find out more. I take pride in my work! I’m in R&D but that part that I was reading about covered production. Sometimes read but catch no ball also :D lucky got internet, makes things clearer for me anyway hehe. Managed to meet up with my friend Rebecca too. Had lunch at some Japanese cafeteria near centerpoint sc. Not bad but wish I could bring my babe or my family there though.
Oh and guess what? My company got for me a spanking new laptop!!! As in brand freaking new!!! It’s leaps and bounds better than my current laptop somemore! Better specs, faster processing speed, infrared and Bluetooth…. BLUETOOTH!!! Who needs Bluetooth on their laptops?! It’s really up to date specs man! Working for this company makes me feel like a valued employee man! All the more I’m motivated to work harder! Where else can u work for a company that treats u so well and pays for your air ticket?
Talking about laptops, where I’m staying, carrying a laptop around is like hanging a huge target board on your backside! People(u know which ones) will be looking at you, all eyes are on you! Like today after work, my colleague brought me to the supermarket to get groceries and the ***s were looking at me(or rather, my laptop) like as if I’m some desirable object like that!
Oh and if u wanna know about danger here. One word of advice. Stay on your toes all the time. The only time I’m not like that is when I’m at my apartment. Hope im safe when im out here especially after 11 typing my blog :P Anyway, after church today I called the taxi company and guess what? No cabs around the church!! I had to walk to the nearby gas station to try my luck and it was there that I made a big mistake. After I crossed the road(more like jaywalked pass speeding vehicles because there’s no traffic light) I found out that I trespassed road passing rule number one, always walk against the traffic, not with it! I kept checking my back to see no motorcyclists with hammers hammered me and ran away with the 20 bucks I had with me.
After that episode I wasn’t out of the woods yet. I had to take the taxi. This taxi driver I tell u. No safety man! While driving he was using the handphone. Actually he use nevermind but u know what happened? He veered to the other side of the road and we almost got into a head on collision with another car! Thank god I got back to my apartment in one piece…
