After signing the contract with Citibank the day before yesterday, I returned to Mellinia Tower yesterday to summit all the forms to the HR officer. Citibank HR Dep is located in level 33 and they have a very nice view over the bay.

Another one from a different angle.

Unfortunately I will not be working there, I have to take 45mins MRT every morning to Tampines Junction. What am I thinking?

After that I went to Citibank Esplanade Branch to open a staff account and I met this young india lady who was given the same position the day before, so we will be colleagues in the next year at least! She has married with 2 children and her whole family have moved here, including her parents. It is always a nice thing to know more about your future working environment and colleagues beforehand.

The staff bank account application went pretty smoothly. Because I will be a Citibank sfaff soon, I naturally had a conversation with this officer Daniel about how life would be in this company, etc. He asked me whether I had any saving or investment plan and gave some advice to me when he heard no. So as the first contribution to the company that I had not yet started working for, I decided to join a 25yr saving plan. Daniel introduced another speciallist Mr Tng, whose wife happens to be working in Citibank as well and holds the same position as me! This is the second colleague that I have known today, and I haven't started to work yet! What a wonderful day! It seems that they have some gifts for all the saving plan partispants. I was given two opitions to choose: iPod shuffle or Sony Walkman Mp3. I chose iPod Shuffle, obviously!

I spotted these cute candies on the table there, and I took three of them back. What a kind of "Citibank Sweetness!".

When I was done there, I went to Republic Plaza for a medical check. Only when did I realized that my day had just started! It took me half an hour to figure out how to get to level 29 and it took another 3 hours to finish all the examation, which includes one hour lunch break! The most astound news is that my vision is only 6/10 now and the doctor recommended glasses! No...I will never wear that piece of shit! I will try to take more care of my eyes and give them more time to rest instead.

I returned home around 4 pm and slept until 8. Then I went to Wuvist's home after that and that is another long story which I am not going to tell here.
