For one good month, I stayed out of this place unintentionally. Not that I am extremely busy but I kinda lost the touch to type on a proper keypad (one of the trends inflicted by the iPhone).
I finally went for my orientation in Indonesia. In a small town, surrounded by jungle and Sumatran tigers. It's so small that there is no commercial flights to the place. The company has an airstrip which flies its own planes into the town from Seletar. Small plane indeed. The next smallest plane I ever took was an Delta Air plane from New York to Toronto, which is a 2x2 seater plane. Never did I expect myself to get a chance to take a 1x1 seater, totalling 18 passengers plus 2 flying crew. Anyone can see the full view of the cockpit and the window in front of it. Not to forget, the two propellers by the sides add to the simplicity of the structure altogether.
I'm an officially Mac convert from Windows. Byebye virus, once and for all. While I've been craving to get a Mac, the thought of using the same machine for both work and play previously simply irked me a hell lot. Now that I've moved on, having two windows for work cum play is as boring too. My intention to the PC show was only to offer my kind consultancy service to my mum who wants a new laptop, Windows of course. I tried to introduce her to Mac at a store previously but she was just not so turned on. We combed the two main levels offering laptops, talked to n number of people, collected four handfuls of brochures for three hours before my mum came to a conclusion. Nothing caught her fancy. She shall take my laptop (which is a year old) and gave me her budget to get a Mac instead. COOL. I readily accepted it and zoom I went, settling my bargain in the next hour odd.
The past one month at work seemed to be better that the first two months. Of course there are plenty of factors attributing to this and I do not deny there are the positive and the not-so-positive ones. Whatever it is, it's the World Cup craze now, my direct superior has gone to South Africa for the great immersion and I'll be gone to Europe for two weeks starting from next. Work shall only start in full swing when I'm back. Anyway my probation ends this week, which means my tender notice is four weeks instead of two. Sian.
