I tried to make up a reason for not posting but I think I'm gonna come clean. Truth is, I procrastinated.

I'm actually 1.5 months into my probation. I believe that I'm gonna make it through the probation period because I'm getting along quite well with my colleagues. Ok maybe I should do some introduction of my new colleagues. First of all, there's Charles. He's been working with the company the longest(1 year+). Really fun and nice person, great sense of humor as well. Then we have Jessica(9 months+). Very calm and meticulous person. Newly promoted Assistant Manager as well. After that would be Ron. Don't let his looks fool you because he's actually the father of two. He looks totally like a 20years old punk. Haha.. Next we have Esmond. Don't really like him at first because I find him a little cocky. But after awhile of working together, he's actually a nice guy. Very good with photoshop and designing stuff too! Last but not least we have Michelle. I would think that Michelle doesn't fit so nicely with the rest. Age gap is definitely not the reason because Ron is actually the 2nd oldest after our boss and we get along with Ron pretty well. I guess it's her personality. I find her a little stubborn and outspoken. I think it's quite obvious that the team doesn't really like her. Not sure how long she can take it.

Recently we had a 5 men crew race at Chinese Garden(Jurong Lake). It was my first 5 men crew experience. All races in Singapore uses 10men and 20men crew boats except this special event. I find it quite interesting because the boat is actually very light and very unstable. I personally experience it and find it very challenging to row if the boat is tilting to the left or right side as you keep sliding from your seat. Overall, good experience and we did quite well for this race. This also marks my first medal with PAWV Dragon Boat team.

It was Andy's birthday on the 2nd Oct. Andy is my polytechnic friend and I've known him for about 5 years. We worked at OCBC Bank as interns together with some other friends (Desmond, Vivian, Riki). The original plan was: meet him to drink and chill at a pub on Saturday night and chill till after 12am and wish him birthday and then leave at 1am. However, nothing went according to plan!hahaha
We met up outside Zouk and ended up going partying until 3-4am. We did have fun but almost ended up in a fight with someone else. Seriously the place is too crowded and squeezy. Went home after that and skipped training on Sunday. Andy invited us to his chalet on Sunday evening. And again, plan was go there, have some BBQ and then leave at 10pm. Ended up drinking quite alot and leaving at 1am. Damn, really haven't had that much for a very long time. Thank god I managed to wake up the next day and go to work.

Anyways, finished reading Harry Potter series and loved it. Until next time!
