Today was my first day of work!

Woke up early in the morning to cook meatball soup that I had prepared the night before. Also cooked rice and other stuff to bring for lunch. THE MEATBALLS WERE AWESOME. And did I mention it was my 1st time making it like how I made the potato dish? I'm starting to be convinced that I can be a good cook if I continue working hard. It is hard to believe, but I'm one of the better cooks in my apartment! (I know right) But I'm not saying this in a bad way, I mean I can share my cooking with my apartment mates, which I have been doing :)
Anyway back to the point, I reached 15 minutes earlier just right (for my job department, it is a must to reach 15 mins before actual clock in time, but on a lighter note, we are entitled to clock out earlier than our shift end time, but still get paid till the end of the shift!) and began to do what I knew. Then a nice lady (who happened to be the driver to transport me to my work location later) brought me to my partner (my job has a partner, hurray) who was also new, but it was already her 4th day at work and she knew the location that we were working today. So everything went well and I learnt a lot from her, the way she interacted with the kids was different to how me and Shiny interacted. Although we did not really utilise any teamwork skills but it was fun. The maximum sets I do during training is 5, but today I had 6. I was surprisingly tired after work that I slept and missed my stop back home -.- So in the end I reached home 45 mins later, allowing me to bump into Jasmine on the way. And I didn't have a lunch break in the end because my shift is 11am to 5.30pm? (So since I have to report at 10.45am or earlier and I need to take a bus to the base to report for work, they kind of assume I'm supposed to eat a brunch at like 9+ 10am?) It was pretty inconvenient thus I had to eat cookies during my breaks (fat!) which I didn't intend to.
Washing my clothes now so I have to collect it downstairs in 5 mins. Right, last night I attended the housing committee organised event, like an Italian event with free dinner and a dance party with DJ and stuff. The dinner was pretty good, with lasagna and Tiramisu and bread and etc. Free flow of food and drinks as long as you queue up too, so pretty awesome. The dance party was in a built up big tent (like a padang thing) with DJ and the committee kept giving out free stuff every few minutes, throwing into the crowds kind. Everyone was excited for the free stuff, and there were snatching and stuff -.- But I managed to get 4 tee shirts, a portable speakers and a mickey pen LOL I'm good at catching (and bumping people so I get to be in front and kind of seek attention at the person who is throwing) I'm not the only greedy one though, Hengyin Jasmine Sam Pearl Yating Marie Jierong Chinyun Yiru Haoyee Jinliang all got free stuff too so yeah. Danced like crazy because I haven't dance for very long and even though it was just shaking along with the music and I was in my birkenstocks (yeah I know) it was nice.

Okay 5mins. I have to collect my laundry, I will update again soon.
Off tomorrow and yeah, for 3 days. Looking forward to relaxing + next working experience!
