yesterday was my third day with DBS.. i've met so many people that i used to meet before and never ever thought i would ever meet them again!

there's Alwyn, the appointment fixer from UOB, then Magdalene, a candidate i interviewed before when i was with Prudential, Johnson, from school and two girls who used to be with UOB but under the General Insurance umbrella.


it's been smooth sailing so far at DBS. the people are friendly and the pantry humongous. but there's a problem with the location itself. the building is located at Expo, which is like a station away from the International Airport BUT thousands of stations away from home, even when home is like in the heart of Singapore.


When i was at Prudential, home was a stroll away. Then it was UOB and home was a train station away from office. Then came DBS...... goom goom goom..... the commute is anal. I live in Newton. So i'll have to take the train up to Bishan and transfer to the Circle Line. after a few stations, i'll have to alight at Paya Lebar station and transfer to the East-West Line to reach Tanah Merah. From Tanah Merah, i'll have to wait a good 15 minutes for the train to arrive and drop off a station later at Expo station along the Changi Extension Line. goodness.



Here's the train line map for your kind perusal. sigh..


Anyway the bank is kind enough to extend a shuttle bus service that runs from Jurong East station, Toa Payoh station, Tanah Merah Station and City Hall station. but the last bus is just too early for me....
