Just past my first day in the new job. Fortunately it was easy going as there is not much communication needed with the foreigners in the office. I have also "accomplished" some tasks I have planned...
  • Ask a colleague (foreigner) about my payroll bank account registration.
  • Communicated with a vendor when other colleagues were sitting behind me. I did feel the pressure of "being judged" when I spoke my request, requirements to the sales rep. Anyway, I must go and work under this environment. I have to overcome the fear.
Hopefully, I can start my first project tomorrow by collecting information from other colleague. I knew that one of the foreigner colleague could provide me the relevant information. However, I'm so scare to speak English, especially in the office where 4 or more people sitting there. I' m still struggling with this actually. I'm the new guy to the company, they will judge my proficiency in English, my ability in expression, etc. based on the first impression.

Now I' m telling myself, I must jump over this mental barrier.
