Just in my first week I already attend 3 get together session with my colleagues. It might seems a little bit overwhelming, but as a single woman in the city get together definitely one of the way to investing (not killing) time.
All three outings were different. First one is only 6 of us with mostly Japanese and one Canadian who can speak Japanese. I feel like a burden because of me there they couldn't speak freely, but still they were really nice and fun. They made me want to learn Japanese and re-watch Itazura Na Kiss (Love in Tokyo version) and fangirling Yuki Furukawa all over again😍😍
It was really cute when we order drink at the Bar, one of the Senior asked me "What you want to drink, you're not drinking Alcohol right?"
While screening over the non-alcohol drink list "I want green juice?"
and He said "Juse?" with Japanese pronunciation and shock face.
It was a fun experience. Ordering juice in my first English Bar experience😝.
Second one was full house, every one in my office were coming. It was farewell party for my colleague who will return to his country. Honestly I am still awkward when facing a big crowd and mingling everywhere. My mind suddenly went to colleague days where everyone has their own group and I'm standing awkwardly between them. I need to have that 'click' whenever meeting new people or group. Maybe other people also think this way, and it's totally normal. I started to feel uncomfortable if I took more time to make that 'click' and it shows in my face like aaaaanyone can see my uncomfortableness. Then my face tend to bitchier if I am uncomfortable😔
Therefore for these past years I am trying to overcome this situation with a thicker skin and braver mentality. What contradict, most people see me as an outgoing person, chatty, bubbly and loud especially in front of a crowd. They don't know how hard I tried to be that way hahahaha. So guys, anything in this world can be learned as long as you have that courage and determination to change the way you bring yourself. #believeme #imseriouswiththis
Back to the event, thank God it went well.
Not gonna lie, I was very nervous at the beginning hahaha. I have a good conversation with a really nice middle age lady whom happened to be in the same team with me. She even inviting me to her home one day💕Unfortunately she's left soon after we arrived. Thankfully a group of youngster approached me. Andrew, whom I knew from Singapore introduced me to two lovely ladies. Soon after without noticing I talked to a group of gentlemen from all over the world. It was a wonderful start. Even before the day ended, I talked to the MD (who interviewed me) in private for I think about an hour. Finally I paid off my (own) disappointment on the last interview 😅 (chill Ri, stop overthinking).
Last outing of the week was last night. We went to a Bar to play darts at 3PM! How great is thatttt?
This time with smaller team. My boss treat us as his token of gratitude for the good achievement they made this semester (of course 'their' achievement, I just here for one week wkwk). Never crossed in my mind that dart game is really fun. Mid game we also won got a Goblet of Fire 🤣 (pic above) for being the 24,000,000 shooter #whatde.
What a great start💕
