So, we finally started work on 3 July 2006. I only knew I didn't want to be late for work and that I was excited about getting my laptop because I heard it is new and I can go online with the wireless card that will be provided to us! Life without internet sucks big time, especially if you have nothing to do at night, which is how Australia is!
Ha, I was honestly surprised at the efficiency of PwC Melbourne. We actually got our passes done within afew hours! Though it is not as nice as the one in Singapore [Not talking about the photo, of course], it was still a pleasant surprise, considering that we had to wait for 2 weeks to get ours back in Singapore. Hmm, I am beginning to think that Melbourne is not that inefficient after all.

Ha, check out the pantry area man! Apparently, Aussies love to eat lunch in. This is like a small corner where they have tables, microwaves, fridge, toaster, jars of cookies, boxes of fruits alongside teabags, coffee and hot chocolate for grabs. They even have vending machines selling tidbits and soft drinks! Once again, with a pantry like this, I am sure no one will agree with me that PwC Singapore's better.

Ha, this system is just too cool man. Apparently, you check in to office to get yourself a desk. Then they will link your personal phone line to that seat so there are no random calls. Which means Bala and Indira's jobs are redundant in Aussie! You can even reserve a seat for yourself, or locate the seat you have reserved. It is just awesome!

Look at that! A wardrobe for people to put their clothes in!
And each of us are allocated a locker each of this size. Man, what else can I say?

The work desks are spacious and new! The chairs are super comfy too! Woohoo! You have a great city view too, for the windows are full body length all around the firm!

Alas! Now to the laptop, it sucks big time. I got a T42! The Microsoft version is like 2003 and they gave us a backpack for our laptop that looks so kuku I don't even dare to take a picture of. But finally, something that Singapore win hands down. Technology man people, it is all about Technology. And guess what, we got to wait for our wireless cards! Which means, I still can't go online! BOOHOO! :'(
