The parent company will not disturb its internal schedules and resources, but utilize the expertise, knowledge and resources of outside bodies to carry out the job.

hmmm...Why this blog is entitled First Day? 'Coz I'll try to share my first day experiences on my job right now.

That's why I'm here right now writing this blog..hehehe..
