First day at work

Today is my first day at work with the new firm. Was talking to JS about memories of our first days at work and it turned out that they are usually not very memorable. JS remembered that he did basically nothing and I cannot remember what I did at all for our previous jobs. So I decided that I should leave a note about today - it should be a special day like any other first days, right?

For me, it was special because I had a lot of time to surf the intranet and read stuff. It's surreal because everyone around me was busy and I was 'free', quite the contrary of a day in my usual day at work. Less than 10 emails received and sent - and one of them was booking the flight for a one-day course in HCMC next week (that was quite novel and I am looking forward to it).

Well, 'enjoy while you can' was what my new colleagues told me. So I will enjoy the view from my desk while I can... And here's a glimpse :P

I do look forward to getting busy again. And I really hope my new role will be a challenge and a stretch! :)

Golf

Been taking beginners golf lessons for the past two months, and wanted to blog about it. Somehow I procrastinated till today, the last lesson at the range.

It's been challenging (to swing a club is not as easy, mind you) but I try to have fun and not put too much pressure on myself. It's been enjoyable so far. Of course it has to be, because golf is commonly known as a 'social' game. So the spirit is in interacting with the coach (my coach is quite funny) and classmates (they are friendly, I guess).

More importantly, it's been a great bonding session with my buddy, ALI :) Having tea, breakfast and lunch after each session is great. It's really been a while since we really chat for hours, face-to-face, and laugh. Being part of a clique of five sometimes make it quite impossible to really talk (it's like speed-dating, not that I have been to one, haha. But I do imagine it's similar because you kind of rotate and catch up with different friends at gatherings :P) and watsapp makes chatting virtually so much easier.

I reckon kakis are definitely a very key part of golf :)

冒险

有时候，某些事或人的出现让你觉得很矛盾，感到很为难。
很想他们发生，很期待他们靠近，却很不想他们扰乱你平静的生活。
原本知足的你，突然贪心了， 觉得拥有他们，会变得更快乐。
我不知道拥有他们， 生活是佛会更好。但如果我不去尝试，就永远不会知道了。
也许会更上一城楼，也许会被打回原形。也许会更快乐，也许会更痛苦。
这算是一种冒险吧？
加油哦！
