New Life.

I feel that I am really blessed, because I manage to rent a comfortable room near my workplace just a week after I started working. It only takes me 20 minutes to get to work, which really makes my life easier. Sure $650 is not cheap, but it comes with air-con and included everything from electricity to internet connection. And the room is spacious and well maintained by the landlord. Considering all aspects especially the location, I think it's a really great room.

But without any friends here, my life besides working is really lonely. Sometimes I didn't have to make a voice for whole morning or whole evening because there is not even work related stuff to talk about for a newbie like me. Sitting in front of computer as soon as I got home like the old days really makes me miss my Melbourne life with friends. I wish I have some friends to share a house together, making the place I call home in this strange place feel warmer and livelier...

That said, it's not miserable at all. Just a little lonely. I am glad and much appreciate to have this opportunity to begin a new life with a job exactly I was hoping for. More importantly being paid in SGD. Even happier to have a lovely girlfriend who webcam with me at night to cure my loneliness.

Love Life : )  

New Work.

Very fortunately, I got the Design Engineer job in Panasonic AVC Singapore. And hence started my new life in Singapore. Job wise, I appreciate it a lot. Even though everyone said Panasonic is not the best company to work with. Be it because of their long working hours or their shrinking market values. But after working for a week, it does seem like the kind of work that I would enjoy. To be honest, not that I mind working overtime because I will just be sitting on my desk for my work anyway..

As design engineer, our job is to draw the structures of electronics appliances. Sure it still involves many paperworks, but definitely gave me better impression than my previous job. I have some good colleagues too in the office. But the downside being all are seniors. Guess that the situation for a shrinking company - less new blood. Not a big deal in work, but it makes me harder to get to know new friends here in Singapore as working is my only window to the society.
