1 Sentral

Today marked the first day I am at my new office, well at least a place that I can call my official office although I spend more than 3/4 of my working hours elsewhere; my clients' place. So my new office is no longer in Wisma Sime Darby as we have now shifted to KL Sentral. Well, it is not exactly near KL Sentral LRT because we still need to power walk to our building which is 10mins away.One way to keep the auditors healthy, since all we do all this while was strain our eyes, fingers and brain on our laptops.

Before I went in my friends have gave me numerous tips and sneak peeks on what to expect but most of all is the technology savvy stuff they have installed for us. First impression I had looking at the exterior of the new building was..wow, looks something out of the Matrix movies. Altough I was still being skeptical, to avoid any disappointments like I had in Sime Darby when they opened the door to our working area (imagine being thrown back to 1980's in a milisecond). So I went in and saw the morning crowd swiping cards and punching numbers on somekind of device near the elevator. Luckily I found a friend who was on her way up. So I just tagged along and watch her do the same thing, which was actually keying in the floor she was heading to while the machine flashes which elevator she should take. I am like WAH! I am impressed (skepticism chipping away).
So I went up picked up my move pack which is made of a very nice laptop back pack, mug, bottled water, guidebook, new name card and of course my own tag..hehe..so eager to go up the elevator and punch in the numbers myself. I went up the elevator with no qualms, but that was not the end of it.
I arrived at my department's floor and saw people making a bee line in front of a display screen. Again I observed but being blur me, I just went and asked around why are people looking at the screen. Apparently, we have to check in ourselves everytime we come in to work and book our desk or to make it sound cool PwC calls it "hotelling" concept. The display screen would record my check in time and inform me what are the vacant places available for me to park my stuffs, then I need to also put in my check out time. Fancy...
Apart from that, I have my own direct line now, the air cond was super freezing my b*tts off, the phone lets me screen my calls and the interior design was slick. So far so good in 1 Sentral, I hope this promises better working environment and self-motivation for my last year here. I am keeping the faith, for now...hehe
