1st week of work

Completed my 1st complete week of work at Agilent!

Started work on 1 Dec, which was a Friday, and it happened to be the FY07 Kick Off for Agilent, so effectively the day was cut by half, and almost the whole company spent the entire afternoon at DXO (cool huh, to book the whole DXO for company event).

The first thing that I learnt from Agilent on my 1st Day of work is:

BlackJack & Dice....

"Gambling stalls" were set up in DXO and we were given 10 chips each and told to 'Grow' the chips. It was the 1st time that I saw the banker getting bankrupted by the players. Hahaha.
Nice preparation for the upcoming IR huh...

Got started off to proper learning and training in office for the entire week. Plenty of stuff to learn and I must pick up as quickly as possible. I had previously thought that I had grown tired of EEE stuff after finally graduating from NTU, but somehow, the product learning had forced me to recall all those EEE stuff that I had learnt over all these years, and I'm actually enjoying it ! It still does feel good to know that the stuff that I had spent so much time learning is useful afterall.

Got plenty of revising of my old lecture notes and reading of new materials to do!!
Must conquer my 1st field battle next week!

Just wanna say a "Thank You" to all my frens/ex-colleagues, Hock, JZ, Liping, SY, YZ, Junyuan, Zhong Qiang, Wei Siang and Shaun, from DSTA for organising the farewell lunch at IKEA last Thursday.

Hopefully some of you might be reading this, (Thanks to the unexpected free publicity from the HR) and do remember to ask me along for any fun activities that you guys might be organising in the future! Dun forget me hor! I miss you guys... I tink I miss the free table soccer sessions a bit more, hahaha...*kiam pah*
