Indeed I've stopped blogging since work started on Monday! haha no, not that I'm too busy at work.. people here value work life balance which is super nice la. My manager's a really nice English guy and other than that, the rest from my direct team are from all over the world! Let me recall.. 1 Irish, 1 Australian, 1 Indian, 1 Iranian, 1 Turkish, 1 Russian, 1 Australian and 1 Singaporean - me! Diversified eh? I dunno if our manager has any problems managing such a diverse team. Haven't really started on learning yet coz initial stage is always spent on setting up user account, systems access, etc. So cannot blog much about work so far..
Summary of our meals at a glance..
First day of work, Kathryn brought us out for lunch at this jap place called Itsu. It was nice to see her again since her last trip to SGP office.
Tuesday lunch Cynthia's teammate Christine brought us out to Jap Canteen for some more Japanese food. And after work, as if not enough Jap, we met Kwee Lin at Wagamama at Jubilee Place (coincidentally!), near her office coz we didn't want to venture far.

At night we met Grace for some Chinese food at Leicester Square - some Lobster noodles & yummy tofu. Plus complimentary red bean soup.. ahh the taste of home already.
Weather for the day: Rainy

Weather: Rainy (still)
*Guess we always prefer Asian food rather than sandwiches so we can always take more Jap anytime.*
Wednesday lunch was quite pathetic. We bought croissonts from M&S, and brought a can of tuna to office, and just had that in our cafeteria.. don't ask me why. I bought a bowl of hot soup to go with it but it tasted horrible. I felt so depressed while eating.. Maybe we were tryin to save money? Thankfully the croissont was nice enough to make me imagine I was back home in Delifrance. But dinner definitely made up for it coz I met up with Xiu Li and her friend who were here on holiday; we went to this restaurant/ pub place just below my apartment and it was reasonably priced despite the posh look. Three of us shared a beef burger, bangers and mash, and a choc dessert. Nice!

Now u know why London is always described as 'gloomy'. It is depressing weather I tell ya.. hopefully (hopefully!) these are the April Showers as they call it.. hope weather in May will change for the better. This is nowhere close to the idea of Spring time I had in my mind!
