Chapter 5.1: Settling down to the groove of Shanghai

Hi guys! Notice that the Chapter also signifies how many weeks has passed since I reached Shanghai. This week, my company is still undergoing cost cutting measures. That is to say, minimize the number of people working while the others take no paid leave. Fortunately, I still get to work on tuesday onwards. Not that I'm a workaholic but working certainly makes IA report easier to write.

Also, there isn't any company shuttle bus this week. I had to take train and then feeder bus to work everyday, mostly standing and sleepy for the whole of 1hr 30min trip. This experience makes me appreciate company shuttle bus more! However, the silver lining to this is that I am able to chat with colleagues and my supervisor more during travel. Through these random chats, ice are broken with colleagues and better bonds forged. The company shuttle bus did not offer these sort of interaction as most people prefer to sit at one corner and just start sleeping or listening to music.

All talking done!


So I overslept one morning in the train and ended up at the extreme end of Line 6, 港城路, luckily I wasn't too late for work. This incident reinforced the value of company shuttle bus! At least I will wake up at the company taking the shuttle bus for sure! (FYI its like you wanted to alight at Jurong East station but overslept till Boon Lay)
