This is my new cubicle in our new office at Hill Street (near City Hall mrt).
1. Pretty gals to be found everywhere.
2. My neighbour Jingxiong, a fellow Newcastle fan and prankster (not me).
3. My Newcastle allegiance proudly displayed.
4. Binchou-tan anime figurine (kindly donated by JH).
5. Centerpiece attraction: my talking Winnie the Pooh clock! It chimes every hour, though Piglet is the one who actually says the time. I brought it here as it was too creepy hearing the voice at home late at night.
6. Watson's water bottle and various accessories.
7. High-class-looking pen holder. So I can act more like an executive. Although all it holds is a ballpoint pen.
Of course, some of my more….child-like colleagues have soft toys too. But they are cruelly abused by other demented colleagues when the owner's not around……

And just for comparison, here's my old office cubicle:
As a result of processing MIO orders all day round, I was brainwashed into signing up for the attractively priced mio package too. Basically it consists of a digital telephone line service, a 3mbps broadband internet connection (up from 512kbps for me), a free wireless modem, free installation and a basic singtel mobile price plan (which I signed to get a new mobile phone to replace the bulky Nokia Ngage). All at $68 per month.

The $%^&& mio box!
Everything went smoothly on the day of the installation, only for me to realize, somewhat belatedly, the inconveniences of having a digital line. For starters, all the phones have to be physically wired to the 'mio box', so my non-cordless phones in other bedrooms were rendered useless. Then my telephone and internet will be at the mercy of the box too, as I found out too late when the phone didn't work for 2 days after the installation. Turned out that I had to restart the box to fix the problem.
So far it's working fine, and I hope it continues this way… …
And here's my new phone! Read here if you haven't heard of this beautiful piece of art!
