Work, Baby shopping & Iron Man 3

Lets all face it. We hate our jobs! IMHO, theres nothing worst than working for a company 8-12 hours a day for 5 days a week. Its like you at work all the time and the world is just passing you by. The dream of being self-made is just that, a dream! They pack you in the workplace and it becomes habit. By the time its all over with you’re than old man sitting on the edge of the bed wishing you had the guts and will to go out and make it happen!

Thats basically how everyone thinks about work. But today im not going to whine about my work. In fact im fortunate to have a job. Im used to be always on the run. I use to be a salesman you see. Thats all I ever done and thats all I ever know how to do.I have always wanted to experience what it would be like to work in an office environment and have considered working in an office. This work experience will give me a chance to see if working in an office would suit me in the future.

On my first day I was introduced to Mr Thongyai who was my supervisor. He gave me a brief overview of what they do in Cimb Thai. He then brought me around the office and showed me the fire drill. He introduced me to the other members of staff who I would be working with. I was then brought my desks which is a small cubicle at the end of the room.
So what do I do? Im a product development manager and I develope unsecured lending products for emerging markets. Basically that was what ive been told. Im still quite blurry myself at the moment. I was then given a stack of files to read through and was shown in the area which I was to look for them. I found the staff extremely helpful and were more than willing to help me with any problem I had. They were extremely friendly and brought me to lunch with them. I observed that there was great communication between the staff which contributed to an excellent working environment. A bit surprise isn it? But the thais working here can speak a fairly good command of english that some of our malaysian grads are put to shame. Anyway it was my first day, and not much is done. Hoping that the rest of the week is more useful and enjoyable!!

1st May... Similiar to Msia. Its labour day. Which means. Holiday.
With the impending arrival of Baby Justin, we’ve had to rethink and readjust how we use the space in our room and also things to purchase. Our room is small currently. That means we’ve had to get creative in terms of storage. We made progress but there’s still so much to figure out and there are so many different shelving and organization systems out there, I want to make sure we’ll get the most use out of whatever we get. My poor brain has been on overload trying to think it all through.With playroom organization on the brain 24/7,  in the end we only got some basic products for Justin arrival.

In the evening, we went to my most anticipated movie.... IRON MAN 3. Im not going to be a big spoiler here. But its really good ! Go watch it !

Just for the records, theres this awesome Iron Man expo at Siam Paragon. There are lots of iron man models and figurines and its just super cool. And there is this simulator where you get to become ironMan. Great fun! Anyway i'll just let the photos speak for themselves. Till then. Tata!
