first night

Day One

holy crap it's hot. unfricking believably hot. that on top of sheer shyness i decided not to start taking photos of everyone till tomorrow.

plane ride was uneventful. managed to watch two movies that i otherwise would be too ashamed to watch. namely She's the Man and Take the Lead. yeah both stinkers. and i wrote a letter to frankie.

Being in Singapore is like walking around in the world inside my head. a mish mash of english and chinese which really effects the thought process. my god their accent is so strong in both languages that when they're talking to me i need to take a beat to realise which they're speaking in.

Kenneth is great, exactly how i imagined him to be, good humoured and kinda jolly. Clara is wonderful, her whole entire family is very generous, i'm still working out where i stand with everybody.

first day at the office tomorrow, have to take the subway at 8:30, god i hope i get to the right place, maybe i should've bought a map or something beforehand huh? Kenneth has set me an assignment actually, at the end of the trip. a 30-40 slide powerpoint presentation on how they could improve business, you know, from an objective (and ignorant) perspective. heh ^_^;;

but otherwise, in terms of this being a strengthening process, i have a stinkin maid. she just came in with a fruit platter and a laundry basket to leave out for her. she's suppose to clean my room too. my god if it weren't for the heat i'd move here.

must remember to call jing tomorrow. or at least once i find out what my timetable's gonna be like.
