In The Morning Before Work<\/b>
Woke up at 6:58AM today with a tinge of nostalgia… Beginning to miss home,
my family, my friends and Dore… Feeling a little sad and down. But life goes on.
Had a bun sponsored by Gary, didn’t have much of a breakfast. Don’t feel like
eating.<\/p>\n

First time I am taking bus 96 from Zhong Shan Park to my workplace. Unfamiliar
with the route. Luckily some helpful bus passengers help me with the directions.
Alighted at a different stop from where i boarded last night and have to find my
way around the area. Luckily I still have the map that Denise sketched. else that’s it!<\/p>\n

In Office<\/b>
Arrived office at about 845AM suppose to be here at 9. but I want to attend this daily
meeting at 830 to have a better feel of what is the direction of the Giant (Parkway) and
what are the issues that they are facing and what are they doing to overcome such
issues. Shall be there tomorrow!<\/p>\n

Installed office 2007 provided by the company since I am using my own laptop (instead
of getting one from the company) But I get to keep the preloaded software! hehe.
Started on the powerpoint presentation working with Anneke! I am so glad she is here
to help! haha. I am learning quite a bit from here. Managed to grab the department
heads to brief them about the presentation format and information needed from them.
Also assigned to do up a SOP form for some of the communication procedures between
employees belonging to different branches. Not bad for a start! =)

Lunch Onwards<\/strong><\/font> <\/p>\n

Time to give credit to Joyce for the treat for my Lemon Chicken with Spagetti. Not bad. The Cafe is called
Maui Coffee. Pretty nice place to relax and chill. Too bad its only for lunch. They chatted alot about the
way of live in Shanghai and how shanghai girls think and choose partners. Hmm… not too different from
SG girls actually… haha… Maybe most city girls think the same. <\/p>\n

After lunch is like war zone… been doing the graphs for the figures and compiling the ppt slides on the
new office 2007. Still pretty clueless about some functions. Been called into a meeting by Boss for an
audit meeting. I am so glad to be involved. Its a pretty interesting meeting to understand more about
systems, its potential loop holes and thinking of solution to circumvent the potential problems. That
meeting took about an hour or so. Glad to know that the IT audit person in the meeting is actually an
SoCian! hehe! Feels like home! They are part of the internal audit team from Parkway.<\/p>\n

After the meeting, I rushed to get the ppt done. ME and Anneke rushed and chased the rest of the senior
management people for the content! Whew not easy! Thanks Anneke! Also had to rush the SOP form for
the procedures between different facilities and the driver. Got praised by Jane for the professional looking
form! But I guess love at first sight can be cured with a second glance. lack alot of content coz its just a first draft.
By this time, its already about 7:50pm and I am still in office. Wanted to check with our COO on the graph and the
figures. But I guess they won’t be out so soon as they are in the midst of a meeting with MR Big Shot from our Co.
Finally out from work, walking towards my 96 busstop…

After Work<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Met Haojie for dinner. so glad\u00a0I met him!\u00a0Able to gain some perspective on business\u00a0and entrepreneurship
once again!\u00a0 I am also thankful for the treat of snails and Italian food at a restaurant near our house. Thanks dude!
Finally got home, bathed and now bloggin and finishing this entry. I hope this day ends well. Shall talk to dore later and
go to bed… tired, happy but satisfied. I am determined to make a difference! I HUANG RENZHI am determined to succeed!
Have to make my one year worthwhile! This has and will always be at the back of my mine! <\/font><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
