One of the things I like about Potong Pasir

I miss the neighbourhood that I grew up in. Its lush greenery, cooling breeze from the hills, quiet environment, and closeness to the City. These are just some of the things I miss about Depot Heights, the place where I have stayed for the last 30+ years.

Now, I do like my new neighbourhood too. Its relaxing atmosphere (reminding me of Depot Heights), and it is also not that far from City too, plus closness to the MRT station.

One of the things I like of my new neighbourhood, I love the Mac! most. Why is it so different? Well, for start, having breakfast at Mac in Potong Pasir is very relaxing for me. People at there are so relax that you don't feel rushed dinning in there.

It has sort of become a once every two month activities that I do with my son. Bringing him there for breakfast, a father and son bonding time. Well, not that I don't want to bring my dear wife along, it just so happen she don't fancy mac as much as my son and me do. (^_^)

A new beginning

On Feb 09, with the great blessing from God, we finally got our own home. A nicely decorated flat at Potong Pasir. It is really amazing, looking back, how God have through the turn of events lead us to this house.

Lesson learn, sometimes we must not look at set backs as the final outcome, but rather as opportunities for better things/times to come.

My Lord is my refuge, I will not be afraid. Amen! (^_^)

Back in the workforce

Today marks my first day back in the workforce. I arrived in office at 8:45am. Was quickly briefed by my manager before he rushed off for a meeting. As my workstation was not ready yet, I was left sitting by my table with practically nothing to do. After about 30mins, my assigned buddy came and give me some briefing and bring me around the department. 10am my laptop arrived, so I go about setting up my station. By 10:30am I was back at my table with nothing to do again. Chatted a bit with some old friends. At around 12noon, I go out for lunch with some colleagues. The rest of the day went by slowly. At 4:30pm, the department have their lou hei. All in all, it was a good first day for me. Slow going and easy adjustment for me after my six months of break.
