It’s been 2 and a half weeks in Ohio now. Work is good. I’m working on a project which is mainly to create a program to backup some PLC-s. Currently doing all the user interfaces and form logics using C# mostly. I’m working with 2 guys but I think I’m mainly doing the coding while they think of how to do it. Progress so far has been steady. Loving it and hope can learn a lot of stuff from this and other projects if given the opportunity.
Daily life here is great. Wake up early in the morning and have breakfast in the hotel. Breakfast menu is the same everyday though. But, it has a decent variety to satisfy me. Bread, cereal, waffles (ownself make), eggs and sausages, muffins, fruits and milk. I don’t eat everything everyday. Just a bit a day so that I don’t get easily bored with it. Then, head off to work. People at work are nice. Most of the people will smile at you or greet you. And they like to hold the doors for you even though you’re quite a distance away from it. So I always hurry to the door if I see someone holding it. Lunches sometimes go with colleagues if they ask us go with them or I just go with Chao Yian and Chaoliang. Yea there’s 3 of us over here from the Singapore office. Funny because today we went to lunch with Jim, our Singapore director who’s here on vacation I think. And one of the Rovisys guys commented that half our Singapore office is here. It’s funny because our Singapore office isn’t very big so it’s pretty true. Plus those who are overseas, I don’t think there’s many people back in Singapore. After work, just come back to hotel room and RELAX. Watch tv, chat (to connect with people back home) and laze on the bed.
Travelling’s great too. I think it’s because company is sponsoring me over here. At least the hotel, food and so on are settled so basically I don’t need to spend anything much. So, I can spend all my money on travelling. I only can go travel during weekends though, of course. So far, I’ve been to CHICAGO. Visited Navy Pier, Michigan Avenue, Sears Tower and Wrigley Field. I’ve uploaded the photos on my Facebook here.
Scenery was nice there. Too bad my battery ran out at Sears Tower so I couldn’t take any photos from the top. But, overall I think the trip was satisfying. It’s just so nice to see places and open up your eyes to life elsewhere. However, too long here and I can’t take too much Western food already. So when got chance, we go for Chinese food for lunch. 😀 This weekend we’re going to Niagara Falls. So looking forward to it. Will put some updates about the trip after. 🙂
