I went to a kelong in pasir gogok which is somewhere around Johor during the weekend.......it was an outing organised by our Jurong SHG volunteers.......We went there for 2 days and 1 night....well its not exactly 2 days lah......more like 24 hours......cos we left changi jetty on saturday morning and arrived at changi jetty on sunday morning.........







We took a bumboat from changi jetty to get to the kelong directly which took about 1 and a half hours....the bumboat is the kind that seats less than 18 pple and luckily no one got seasick on the ride!!! hee.......Once we arrived at the kelong, we were given 2 rooms for our entourage or 13 people...each room is just a small area with a few mattress on the floor.........






The whole kelong package included transport, dinner, BBQ, accomadation and breakfast for $55...... We played majong, bridge, Big 2, had our SHG meeting, played games and we also had a early celebration of christmas by doing a gift exchange......It was fun on the whole and a good experiance living in the kelong.......I guess 1 night is enough already lah....cos if stay too long will get bored!!! hee.......

Today is my first Day of Work at DSO!!!!!But First I had to go to Singapore Computer Systems at Bedok to do some adminstrative stuff......I arrived at SCS at 8.30am and there were also a few other people who were reporting for their first day of work...Two of them were working in SCS itself while me and another girl were outsourced....The other girl was outsourced to MINDEF....

I was given the contract by the HR to read through and then sign.......It is basically a 13th month contract.....the benefits are about the same as perm job one....only that I got 12 days leave and perm got 14 days leave,etc....After signing the contract, I was brought to the studion to take a photo for the employee pass. After taking the photo, I was brought to the department that I am under and was briefed on some adminstrative procedure, so I was basically in SCS for the whole morning.

I went to DSO in the afternoon.....My workplace is different from the one that I went for the interview. Althought both of them are in Science Park 1, the place that i am working has a tighter security!!! There is a fence around the compound with a sign announcing "Protected Area" When I arrived there, I was brought to my office which was previously a meeting room and was just renovated to be a office. There are 8 cubicles in the office and I am basically the first one to be located in there!!My colleague then briefed me on the security practices of the company and gave me things to read on Wireless networking for the rest of the day......And that was how I spent my first day at work!!
