The perks of working in VTP, a government organization: (actual name of organization is protected)

1. The office is located at City Hall, right smack in the centre of Singapore, so I can get a very mesmerizing view of Singapore, which is just the thing I need after long periods away from home
2. I get my own laptop — a Fujitsu Lifebook — of which I can even take home with me
3. My email address has a gov.sg domain
4. I am well-respected by very friendly colleagues
5. Access to a vending machine that dispenses free drinks
6. Purchase of snacks from a vending machine at highly subsidized rates (e.g. 10 cents for a packet of 3 Oreo cookies)
7. Due to centralized location of office, places to walk and good places to eat are all a stone’s throw away
8. Access to a very comprehensive resource centre
9. Sparkling clean toilets, complete with paper toilet seat covers, paper towels, and automatic taps
10. I’ve been bought 2 lunches, and today was my 2nd day of work!

The drawback:

The view of Singapore from the tower is really very captivating. I can’t help but stare out the window a lot.
