8 hours a day is hardwork!
In order to make a good impression and also due to poor public transport to my new job, I have been arriving in the office by 8 am and leave after 5:30 pm in the last couple of days. I have never worked so hard in my life!! :p
My new workspace is shared with my supervisor in an office, so my goal of opening my new snack shop here is tougher than I thought! Also, because of not being open-plan, I find it harder to socialise with others, resulting in less mucking around and more productive! During lunch break, I am on my desk most of the time to reach out the outside world. My laptop is not allowed to connect to their network, so I have to live with "Dial-up"! :o Jesus, the speed is so slow! I can't believe that I used to be able to tolerate it before broadband came to my life!
Apart from working hard, I actually really enjoy my new role here. There is a lot of new technical knowledge for me to learn and people are generally very friendly to teach me new method. My supervisor seems happy about my work and trust my ability. There are other friends, working around the same area, have already invited me out for lunch to help me explore their favorite cafes and make me feel welcome :D
Back "home", colleagues claim that it's quiet and less fun while I am away and they all miss me. In fact, I miss them them too. I am actually quite homesick, but it's a great opportunity for me to add good value in my career so I intend to work hard in the next two months.

"What?! :o You are in before 8 am??" said my colleague, with an unbelievable astonishing voice "But...but, you don't come in until 9 am here! or even later!"
