Tired eyes..
Today's the 2nd day of my work.. i am starting to know a little more of my company and my job and it's probably not going to be a bed of roses. Anyway I'm feeling much better now that I got over the initial shock.
Well last weekend was fun. We had house warming and there was lots of alcohol, cos its so cheap here. It was a long time since i last drank. It was a pretty joyous affair altho i didn't really enjoy myself as much. Maybe because I was missing everything back home a little.
Then the next day we had classes with this 67 yr old guy.. who's pretty accomplished and he's really interesting with lots of stories and tips about life. So let me share one tip here...
"Do not waste your lunch away"
Everyday lunch is a precious time for pple to interact.. be it with frens or just accquantainces. Well of cos over here in Sillcon Valley, we get to learn a lot more and build contacts if we have lunch with all the big shots and CEOs.. well if possible, have lunch with your profs.. Maybe some friendly chap by the name of Seah something.. Well over lunch, there's not much damage they can do to you.. but its certainly more useful should we ever need to approach them again.
Anyway.. let's carry on.. that following nite, saturday, we packed ourselves in a Multi-seater Vechicle,( read Mini Van, some what about the same size as Uncle Jimmy's) and headed off for San Fransico, a 1 hour's ride away... Well it was Saturday night, and the 'young and happening' were out in full force. So we walked around and San Fransico and we had fun taking in the sights and sounds.. which i will probably put up the pictures soon.
alrite i got to go for now.. cheers
