So far...

It has been 3 weeks since my first day of work and so far things are pretty smooth except for some minor bumps here and there. But overall, I'm quite happy of the job I'm doing, the people I'm meeting and got to know better everyday, the work environment and of course the 'legitimate' slack hours during the day! :P
I'd think they have certain expectations from me since I hav 2 years of audit experience, which on one hand is flattering (at least i can be considered an 'experienced hire') and on the other, quite stressful to live up to that expectation.
But I'm giving myself a couple of months to suss thing out, observe the work culture and attitude in the office and just continue to learn everyday.
I'm blessed for this job, for being able to be close to my loved one and yet self-sufficient.
This is truly something I've been dreaming about for ages and i'm really living it. Still feel kinda surreal whenever I think about it.
Everyday has been routine yet bliss: We wake up together, brush up, make breakfast and walk to work. He will walk me to office, and then catch his ferry to school.
After school, he takes a ferry back to my office and we walk home together again. There are so many chances to catch up with each other and we will discuss what to eat for dinner, what dvds to watch.
There are of course, minor arguments initially, but I'm trying to learn and adapt and bear with the little things that might just irritate me somehow. I guess it's a very good experience to see how it'll be like when we eventually get married.
Some pals asked me why we didn't ROM before we come over, I said we didn't want to do that for the sake of doing. The whole meaning of the union will not be there anymore.
We'll just enjoy each other's company, learn to accomodate each other and make it all worthwhile while we're here.
He's been progressing really well at his course and his prof is quite impressed with him. *thank God*
I'm glad and proud that I made this choice to be with the man I love and give him support with my company. It will definitely be wonderful memories to keep in future. :)
