work work work

i started my job at iras recently. the beginning of the first day was damn horrible. i had to pull myself out of my comfort into hell as i got myself ready for work at an unholy hour. when i went to the revenue house to report, my name was missing from the fking paper. i was damn sian and pissed.

after registering, i went into the room, confronted with a fking platue of computers and people. about 60+ people and computers are squeezed into one tiny room. wth. it was overwhelming like shit. i wanted to just walk out and go home.

however, i somehow psychoed myself into calmly walking in (i think) and finding a seat. (i need the fricking income)

more people started coming in. there are only several empty seats left scattered here and there. by the way, i didn't realise how difficult it is to find an empty seat among a bunch of people seated down until now. it's kind of like photohunt. i have to squint my eyes and stuff...

anyway, a miracle happened then. in the shape of my cousin! she was just standing there at the doorway, looking lost and sian too. i had to stop myelf from screaming her name. it wasn't a good thing to do to make a good first impression. i kept staring at her. trying to use my eye power. and it worked! after a minute or so, she turned and saw me too, becoming gleeful.

funny, the first thing i thought was 'heng arh, now i don't have to eat lunch alone anymore...' oh well... surprise surprise... being socially awkward among other things, i can say one of the biggest challenge of accepting any job for me is to find lunch companion. 

anyway, so i had someone to talk to and walk with through out this job. hehe. that's great.
