Hi guys. So I am back once again after a really long hiatus from updating my blog. Haha, that is coz my com just got repaired... like finally! So I have started working just earlier this week on Tuesday and I shall talk a bit about it here.
So my first ever job, which is a part time job, consists of data entry, filing of papers and quite a fair bit of writing and sending out letters. I had certainly sent out more letters today than the other three days combined... haha! With the exception of the sending of letters, the other tasks are much more relaxing although there has to be full concentration at all times to ensure that papers are not misplaced and details are not overlooked. Furthermore, a clear mind is also needed to remember instructions and to keep track of what I had been doing. Thus, I have been getting myself used to carrying out the tasks in the office over the past couple of days. I am quite happy with my progress I might say.
Outside of work, I have also gotten a feel of what life in an office is like these past few days. From bringing my own water bottle on the first day of work, I have now started to make myself coffee and tea and thus drink from my desk. I have also been helping myself to the CNY goodies left there for us to munch on. Of course, I no longer bring my own water bottle haha! As such, I do have to make a conscious effort to remind myself to take periodic breaks to get myself hydrated.
Talk about breaks. Sitting in an office for long hours, what more staring at a computer screen, sure is very unhealthy. Thus, I again have to consciously make a effort to move around and look away from the monitor every half an hour or so to rest my eyes and not to be too inactive. Haha, what better time to work my muscles than lunchtime then.
Being in an office, my lunch comes from my pocket. Well, not literally. But you do get the idea yeah? I have been frequenting a food centre not too far down the street from where I work, ever since I had been introduced to that food centre. I have thus been walking to and from the food centre instead of taking the bus. This is partly to get more exercise and to save some money, however little, on bus trips. Furthermore, the slow walk to the food centre enables me to slow down the pace of my life and take a break from the hectic work in the office.
Upon arriving at the food centre, I am greeted by the usual lunch crowd. Despite the food centre being fairly big with a wide variety of food choices and stalls, it has been quite packed for the past couple of days. Having tried the "lor mee" and duck rice over at the Bendemeer Food Centre for the past two days and having not been too impressed, I decided to give one of the other food centres a chance today. The "char siew" rice which I picked sure did appeal to my tastebuds more than my previous selections.
After a quick lunch, I would then take a walk back to the office under the hot scorching midday sun. I never fail to return to the office perspiring profusely. Then, I would get back to work sorting out the huge pile of papers on my desk. Thankfully, work ends at 1700 for me daily regardless of the amount of work that needs to be done.
Yupp, that seems to sum up how I had been spending the last four days. The only surprising thing is that I am always so drained mentally and physically by the time I get home each day no matter how awake I had been while working. It is to the point that I just have one thing on my mind when I step into the house... Sleep! Hahas, so ciaoz guys, till my next update!
