First Day @ Microsoft

Yesterday was my first official day at Microsoft! I was assigned the post of a Technology Specialist and I will be handling certain major events organized by Microsoft; which will be launching some time soon.

So how did my first day go?
  • It first kick start with me joining a huge crowd at the LRT station jamming like sardine sandwiches.
  • Then I realized that I forgot to bring my handphone along with me on this important day. Hence I had some problems reaching out to people urgently.
  • While on the way up in the escalator, I dropped my touch-and-go card. Fortunately a kind man behind me returned it.
  • I was so hungry during the orientation; I could hear my stomach growling for food.
  • Lunch time was the best part of the day. The hiring manager treated us lunch at Madam Kwan’s. Thanks Bin! =)
  • Then it was presentations and more presentations all the way till 6pm.
  • I was dead tired by the time I reached home.
Here are some pics taken during lunch time at Madam Kwan's...The super heavy lunch I had! Nasi Bojari that comes with a drumstick chicken, asam prawns & rendang!! Super yummy & very filling! Lol!!!
Some random pics taken during the lunch session... There were only 8 interns yesterday; another 10 more to come on board pretty soon!!!
My Employee Handbook! Hopefully more pics soon! Till then have a great week working Peeps! haha!! =P
