Congratulations!

First thing first, congratulations to myself. I got a new job and today is my 37th day on the job.

Well, this is not just serving a single entity but a whole region – shared services.

After 6 weeks sitting in the office and observing how the task or IT is running, I am still not used to it.

I started off working on Change Request. The first assignment, download data. And then slowly the work coming in. This two week it’s like my honeymoon still, my team mates all went for business trip in Thailand.

I am already feeling very lonely here, without their presence, I felt even more lonely.

For the past few week, I have tried various route to reach office. I got stuck in the traffic maximum for 2 hours and minimal an hour. I just don't like the time being wasted on the traffic jam. On top of it, I also need to spend on highway tolls. It's a total of 2 tolls which is not cheap and I had to stuck in a jam. During my time in the traffic jam, I could only stream drama's and also catch up some movies. Oh the movies were 5 minutes narration by Good Amok. Really love how he narrates it.

Koala told me to leave home earlier so I can beat the jam. Hence this week I tried to stick to leave at 7.00am, no matters what happen I also need to go. No matters how hard PiPi and RouRou cries, I just have to leave them. Leave them with Koala. Today only experiment day number two. I am able to reach office around 7.40am+ and also bought my breakfast from the stall outside my office. Nice wor, can reach office early and have breakfast to kick start my day!

My aim of change is very easy. Let's see.

I want to change the scope of my job. I don't want to support Claims only - Done.

I want to live work life balance. I want to squeeze time to work out - Almost there. I leave work about 5pm. I have plenty of time before our dinner at 7.30-8.00pm. I managed to spend some time with the kids before sleep. There there there, I make them go to the room as early as 9.30pm to get ready for bed but they will not sleep until 10ish. I will change the routine gradually. Nowadays those two woke up same time as me! I can't really tip toe myself out from my bed room. PiPi will just cry whole morning for me, which I really not willing to let her do that because this will trouble other people and I noticed it will affect her mood too. So I will try to avoid those from happening so we all have a beautiful start for the day. You win I win everyone win. As for work out, once I sent PiPi home, I will take about 40 minutes time to work out at the gym. I am trying, gradually. I tend to do squad in the rest room in my office. Just to keep me sane.

Next one, it might be difficult but need a lot of efforts. Read a book a month? I try not to be ambitious. Oh, something that I wanted to improvise too. I want to write a lot. Write write write. Just write when I wanted to.

Well, this is me. Nice to meet you.
