This is it!
I’ve entered one of the compulsory phases of adulthood, the working life. I’m with PETRONAS Refinery in Malacca. Melaka is a
totally new environment, I have a new home to stay, new people, new workplace, everything
is unfamiliar!
It's been a roller coaster ride. Not long since my mom's passing, I got a call from HR to receive my offer letter. One thing led to another. There are many forms to fill, accommodation to look up, things to buy, and here I am finally. Just before that I have attended a 2 weeks induction program for new executives who will be joining PETRONAS. Good memories. It definitely helps that most people already know each other on the first day of work. Must thank PETRONAS for this initiative.

Meanwhile, my first day at work is not so 'colorful', but there is so much information to absorb. Today is all about briefings, intro to the Refinery, the organization structure, HSE matters, employment benefits, things like that. The Refinery itself is a huge complex, the process area clearly visible from a distance with its rows of rigid towers and structures gleaming in the sun. I guess I am like a curious child during his first time at the zoo. I can't wait to explore and see what's in stall for me. Anyhow, I hope to maintain this zealous spirit of mine, the eagerness to know, because only with passion then work will cease to be a burden and become something enjoyable. Looking forward to learning something new everyday!
