Sean wakes up earlier than usual to avoid repetition of what happened from his previous job...that is, getting late. It was his first day at his new job. He got up, brushed his teeth, then proceeded to the kitchen to prepare his breakfast.

After eating, he took a shower and  dressed up quickly but with utmost care to look presentable. He gathered his laptop and his bag, and was about to head to his work. He stopped in the kitchen just long enough to freshen his cat's food and water, then he piled his things into the car and took off.

When he arrived at WE, he was given his company ID and was given instruction to proceed to the HR on the fifth floor.  After a few briefing from the HR Head , he was introduced by the HR to his new colleagues.

"Guys, let's welcome our new graphic artist, Sean Xiao," introduced Shu Qi, the company's HR Head.

Sean in turn greeted his new colleagues "Hello everyone, I hope we can all work together in harmony. Please guide me and let me learn good things from you," he pleaded and bowed in respect. Employees in the PR Department went starry-eyed while looking at the very handsome Sean Xiao, even the boys are agaped at how a guy like him could be so blessed with such visuals.

"Maam Shu Qi, shouldn't our newbie undergo an initiation rite?" His colleagues went loud and clapped their hands altogether upon hearing someone's suggestion.

Hearing the words "initiation rite", Sean thought he's gonna get hazed. He gave their HR Head a confused look.

"Ah, Sean... every newbie here is required to grant us a dance sample or a song...will you grant us a sample?"

The entire department went wild while cheering loud with "Sample! Sample! Sample!"

Sean indulged to their pleading and sang a popular collab song from Coldplay and Chainsmokers...

I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spiderman's control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list

But she said where'd you wanna go
How much you wanna risk
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this...

Doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo...
Oh I want something just like this

I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
The testaments they told
The moon and its eclipse
And Superman unrolls
A suit before he lifts
But I'm not the kind of person that it fits

She said where'd you wanna go
How much you wanna risk
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this...

Sean's colleagues clapped their hands intensely after hearing Sean's beautiful rendition of "Something Just Like This".

"Woahhh! More!...more...more!"

"Ok, that's enough guys. He'll surely grant us some more each time we're going to have a party or event. Am I right, Sean?" asked Miss Shu Qi.

"Ahm, ok Maam, no problem," replied Sean.
