wow… it was a busy week with a number of things happening in office. i was assigned to a new job at macpherson this week since my other job could not start on time.. how fascinated i was when i saw the client's office. it was an open concept where all the meeting rooms were glass paned and the partitions of the cubicles were low. you could see the expressions of everyone when they were having meeting in the room. haha.. how amazing.. my team got settled down in a smaller meeting room called ‘think tank III’ and i thought the name sounded quite interesting too.. however, the round table in the meeting room was not big enough for the 6 of us and 1 of the assistants had to work on the sofa outside the meeting room.. he looked quite cozy working there though. haha.. the team members were friendly and nice and 1 of them was my final year project mate in NTU.. i finally got a chance to work with her ever since we joined the firm.. haha.. we got busy flipping through the files, enquiring the client and documenting our findings throughout the week..
i also attended my firm’s annual dinner and dance this thursday (7 december 2006) at swissotel the stamford.. it was my 3rd time attending the dinner and dance and i wondered whether there would be a 4th time.. haha.. i shall wait and see till then.. everyone was dressed up for the occasion and it was a round of eating, drinking and photo-taking with the colleagues. as part of the entertainment programme, those new colleagues who had joined us recently were asked to put up performances according to departments. 6 departments participated and my department won the 3rd place, while the tax department emerged as the winner, 2nd time in a row. it brought back sweet memories when i recalled my 1st year joining the firm. i participated in the performance that year and we won the 1st place! it was the team effort of everyone and some of us got closer ever since.. i left around 11 plus after the lucky draw, winning nothing this year. a colleague in my department won the big prize of $5,000 travel voucher! haha… she was real lucky!

finally, my firm was busy shifting to our new office premise at one raffles quay on friday. all of us were busy packing our stuff last week, taking those that were needed and throwing away those unwanted ones. i was looking forward to the new office with new furniture and a pantry as well. haha.. i shall see the new office next monday then.. for remembrance sake, i took a few photos of the office where i had spent my last 2 ½ years busy working in before moving to the new working environment.

this summed up the busy week and i could only get busier when the peak period is approaching.. shall brave myself through it one more time..
