went back to school this afternoon to print my resumes and borrow books. do you all know that our dear BizIT library is "so efficient" (in ping's words!) that we cannot borrow anymore books because....we've graduated. DUH! looked for books for interview tips and skills and of course, how can i give my jayne ann krentz a miss?? in the end, sorry you cannot borrow. if i did not see ping and doris walking in, i am in a mess. don't know who to go to. so, thanks doris! ;)
ok, back to serious thing: FY,LQ,JESS: BOOKED ON THURSDAY. DO NOT BE LATE! (speaks to myself, too!) hehe don't know whether it's because mixing with you latecomers turned me to be one too! :P anyway we'll start shooting on thursday. know it's a tad too late but can't help it since our super editor said thursday. so we need to get together and write our storyline, latest wednesday. if things don't pull through, we can forget about this project altogether. i am serious.
pw will contribute by buying us meals since she is working and has allowance of $xyxy. hehe cannot reveal, ain't too nice... :P
summary of votes: option 3 OR 4. think it's obvious that's these two are the most popular. so make a pick again, whether 3 or 4. me says life of a working professional is good as it can relate to most people.
votes in, please! voting booth will close by monday, 12am! hahaaha
and yh, if you are reading this: contribute else we'll cut you off from our blog again! hhahaha but please don't ask edmundodo to come after me....psstt! do you know that your affair with him is an open secret? ;) bet you didn't know right? thought you could wrap fire with paper? nah... paper burns!

panasonic - ideas for life
alright, all. here are the few ideas that we've come out with this afternoon when we met in school. btw, it was scheduled that lq, jess, fy and i meet at 1. i was late for 20mins, jess 30mins and lq-i dono how long coz our meeting ended long long ago before she reached. anyhow, here is the summary.
1- life of a latecomer: could use use yh as a case study. since kingdergarten she has been late till now. comedy like drama to make it light hearted. as fy said singaporeans are always late.... :)
2- basking in singapore and the woes of a graduate: could use sy as case study. (!!) no money, no job, frusfration, anxiety, depression, parents grumble, and eventually decided to do basking. (note: not that i experience ALL of the above, ok! but i don't mind acting out since it's near to my case: frusfration and anxiety)
3- the day of a white collar worker: (this is scary, as it almost reflects our internship days.) seeing the same people everyday, fy's "do no disturb. email me instead" sign, pw's communication over msn, using tissue to "chop" place during lunch, someone with umbrella gets the seat. (dono what jess meant when she wrote it down, though)
4- [peiwen elaborates]
first kiss in 14 days: an ugly girl, unkempt hair and big nerdy glasses, has a crush on this guy whom she meets at her regular busstop. the guy does not give her a second glance even though they meet everyday, and our lead is hoping that she looks more attractive so she'll snare her guy.
one night while watching her panasonic TV, her fairy godmother climbs out of the tv and grants her a wish: she'll get the looks she covet, and will get to keep them for life if she manages to get the guy of her dreams to kiss her.
after 14 days, her guy does not kiss her, cos he only likes the girl for her personality, not looks.
like that lah. ok end elaboration.
so make your choice now!! we need to tell mr loh when we wana shoot and bookout the camera as he is on leave next week and edmundodo is sure to give us a hard time. unless of course, minah is with us. :) see, how understanding is our mr loh! :)

coming to an end
it was great to see all the lecturers again. rajan, ms kwa, ms nga, mr loh, mr ang, mr lee, anthony.. feels really good to see all of them :)
the morning seemed to pass by rather quickly. ms low's briefing was short and sweet, mr charismatic's talk was entertaining, the special presentation's motive was to make us cry; lunch was quite eventful :p everything was over in a blink of an eye.
the moment we saw the special presentation, we knew it was done by ms kwa and ms nga. only they would come up with something like this. i was quite touched that they cared to come up with this special presentation. wonder if we could have a copy of it..
feels like coming nearer to the end. or all of u feel that u are at the end already? i still have the student feeling, but everything around is telling me that this is ending, eg pw's reminder that our concession cards expire in June, yesterday's post-itp seminar (feels more like a farewell)..
come to think of it, i haven't really thought of what to do next. feeling quite lost, actually. will start to look for job soon, but dunno exactly what i want to do. my ex-colleague once told me, most singapore youths dun exactly know what they want, coz they live in a comfortable place where everything is planned for them. at least for the first 20 years they dun have to think much, their path is more or less planned and fixed. i surely dun hope to be one of those in the above category..
my application for nie was unsuccessful. haha, must be due to what i said during the interview. stupid me ar. anyway, think teaching is not really for me, after what ms kwa said to me the other day. so, just as well that they dun wan me :p
sy, thanks for the gifts :) really thoughtful of you to specially choose the gift for each of us. thanks a lot!

nua...?
what does "nua" mean?
anywayZ, i went with them for lunch on monday but went back for yearbook.... I was an hour late already and the moment (yes, exactly at the moment) i got onto the bus and sat comfortably down, the editor called me to say "they already going home... i am not needed!!" AZHH! And thus i just remained on the bus and went home...
yeah, its nice to think othat while we're blissfully free from internship, there are pple out there in offices... Sometimes, i think about how busy it must be now at my office with its endless workloads and think: i'm glad i'm not there now... ^^
k... for now, i will be constantly seen in dms helping out with the yearbook..... deadline is tight, but feels far less hectic than in the office!
Siang Ying coming back on friday rite? friday lets meet to discuss concept for video!

busy after internship
hihi :) just a quick post. coz i'll be going to sch to do some printing in a short while. Cf stuff ;P
i'll be going for a mission trip with my CF to labis, johor from 30th april to 2 may. we'll be there to help out a chinese church in this 3-day-2-night youth camp for the local teenagers. so from now till then, we are busy preparing for the trip. coz we'll be leading games, performing drama etc. so we need lots of training and rehearsal.
enjoyed the nua-ing day we had on monday. it's a great feeling to sit down, eat and talk leisurely during the time when other ppl are still busy in the office. i think my office called me, but i was quite bad, din pick up the call. but before i left my boss said he'd sms me. he din. so just as well. i won't have time to go back anyway.
see u all on fri! sy, miss u lots :0

awaken.
thanks for the updates, pw. glad you took the effort to tell me. btw, how come jess was not together with you guys for the nua-time? she went home and nua herself?
i was just "awaken" by a phone ring a minute ago. i always have this shut down mode after 12 though i am physically awake. when the phone rang 2 times, i had a shock. i mean, after 12, it's either a bad-news call or a prank call. 2 rings, i guess it's prank call ba....eerie!!
it's officially wednesday already. means i only have 1 more day left before i go back to s'pore! this time, the going-back feeling is so different. i don't feel "sian" because i have to go back. i don't feel reluctant or anything. just normal. i guess this is the consequence of being away from your comfy zone?
what have you all been up to lately? no internship does not mean blogging cease to exist!! come on, all...keep in touch!!

the art of nua-ing
wah, yesterday really got nothing to do after submitting our logbooks. i believe i've mentioned this during lunch yesterday, but i'll repeat for sy's sake.
i called edmund (yes, edmund) at what was presumably his lunchtime yesterday,
he wasn't in, no surprise there. but he returned the call when we were at cartel,
let me rehash our conversion (to the best of my memory-ability)
"hello?"
"hello edmund, this is peiwen."
"peiwen? which peiwen?"
"urm, from 04...?"
"aiiii, there're a lot of peiwen you know, i cannot remember lah."
"urm..."
(i was thinking if i should mention anything about Best Presenter, or ICM-related as that was our most recent 'accomplishment' ahem, but then another suggestion popped up)
"oh i'm yinghua's friend."
"OHHHHHH!!! YINGHUA AH!!! HAHAHA!"
"yeah, that group lah."
"YEAH YEAH YEAH OF COURSE I REMEMBER YINGHUA!"
"haha. huh."
"HAHAHA, AIYAH YOU SAY YINGHUA I KNOW WHO ALREADY. hahahahah"
the rest of the conversation went on but that's not important. you see how excited he got when i mentioned yinghua's name? OMG. so pervert lor. i'm beginning to see edmund in a different light.
fy expresses her disappointment in edmund

"the new intern sux"
and the new intern referred to yours truly. yeap. was chatting with a servicing colleague a couple of minutes ago (w) and she told me that another AE (m; pw should know her! haha) told the previous intern before me, "the new intern sux". new intern refers to me, at that point in time la. and the previous intern repeated what m said to w la.
cheh! not like m is superb anyway. she is just like any other servicing people, backstabbing mah. what makes her not "sux"? :P i think she is just sore about me not doing the competitive analysis report for her. eeee so petty one.. tsk tsk.
but who cares la, internship is over. i am not staying in my intern agency anyway. i just need to keep in touch with those whom i think deserves it and move on with my life.
see you all NEXT friday! wahahaha! finally, NEXT friday. NEXT, NEXT, NEXT! :P

we all know the day will come, even if we say "seems like the day will never arrive!"
my last day was more pleasant than i thought!
what had started out as a normal brainstorming session then turned into a mildly busy day, my director had me turn in search engine marketing reports and then, for the better part, search for voice talents for that client's exhibition. i did their copy for them so i suppose my colleague thinks i would know what kind of voices to look for.
i think that was the most interesting thing i did in my entire internship. do you know you can pay MTV VJ donita rose to do you a voiceover? i think she's expensive though.
anyhow, my colleagues did something totally unexpected, they got me a card and a little gift. :)
i thought they were so completely busy to even care! haha, was very very touched. when my boss asked me about my future plans, he also proposed extending my IP as a full-timer until school starts for me. i wasn't too keen as my job scope was to remain the same, i want something more self-fulfilling lah. hmmm.

~Happy Day~
just woke up. a great feeling to sleep-in late without having to be awakened by alarm. yesterday was too overwhelmed. sorry about that :p
yah i feel that i have somehow changed during these 3 months of internship. more negative and critical. hmm.. there's this chinese saying: when you are always with positive influences, you become positive, when you are always with negative influences, you become negative. (sorry translation not very good) 近朱者赤，近墨者黑
dunno leh, maybe i'm not strong enough that i was influenced by others. or it is just that the bad side of me took this chance to surface :p
i'm sure glad that internship has ended. my boss asked me to go back and take up some part-time job. i'll see how things go..
see u guys on monday :)
sy, when are you coming back?

ready to set off. 2h 40 min.
Being the last day of internship, I decided to do something productivity and that is…
Blogging!
Anyway, this morning I arrived at the office with a blur vision.
My contact lens was not put on, and I board the bus.
Unknowingly, the manager was on the same bus.
It was only when the bus was reaching our destination that then, I saw her.
Stunned as I was, I tried to explain that I did not bring my eyes out again,
while she was smiling away at the side.
The colleagues treated me to pizza hut.
They called for delivery… so yummylicious : )
I bought merci chocolates for them as a way of saying thank you, and a bottle of wine to the boss.
But I gave it to his wife instead.
Colleague N gave me a farewell gift…
I was so surprised cos I have not thought of giving any.
Partly was also I was broke after the recent splurging in my nokia 7610 and doing hair (tomorrow).
Makes me wonder whether I can afford to go on a holiday at all?!
Anyhow, after lunch, we took some photos, with my unsightly hair.
Haiz… tomorrow I shall do something to the hair.
I am done with packing and tidying up my desk.
even gave away some cup noodles and cereals to the colleagues.
*updated.
the lady boss bought a coffee cake for me, erhem, i meant us.
now my stomach is so full and filled with pizza, spicy drumlets, cakes and chocolates.
i feel so full full full!
dinner can i skip meals and instead, i shall go for a drink? =p
2hours 40minutes. Counting down! ^-^

However, later, jethro read the article and pointed out that another dmc student wrote it! hahaha! Coincidences!

last day. what does it mean?
probably means i don't have to wake up early, squeeze into bus AND shuttle bus, drag feet into office and look forward to 6pm when it's only 10am. what do i do after this? i don't know. seem empty.
anyway, i screw up badly today. if you read my post, you'd know what i mean. sighs! felt so bad. but the reason i did not save as often as i should is because when i see them do FAs, they don't save till the end. of course, i very much wanted to ask them to save but then i thought they had better and more experience so i shut up. also, i was afraid if there's anything i need to revert back, i cannot do so after i save the work. sighs!
that was the most horrid part of my day man! when i reached my room, i was so restless! why ah? i don't even feel like doing anything but rot in front of my computer. even then i don't even know what to do. sighs! my rommate said i am missing KL. PUI!! how can i miss this overly-populated-with-cars-and-nonMalaysians city? ewww! pay me a large amount and i SHALL consider if i want to work here. hmmph!
lq: LAST REMINDER!! please do <u>NOT change the font size of your entries as the font size for our blog is standadized. changing it to a size smaller does no good to our eyes! and i have changed back the size of your entry.
all: how about doing a video on the different facets of singapore for the digital film fiesta? we need to brainstorm for idea quick!!

I do agree with what fy had mentioned. Actually now that I really sit down and think about it, I feel that the marriage or relationship must be unstable so much so that there is a chance or a third party to actually come in.
You see, if the relationship is strong and stable in the first place, the husband, or the wife, would not even develop feelings for the other. I admit, there are times when one would occasionally question himself with “what if…” and whether what would happen had he not done this or that.
There are times that he may feel that he needs a change, or prefer falling in love with another person instead, afterall, facing his wife everyday, makes him feel sick. Or that he feels that he wants the chance to go back to that dating stage but their marriage has gone past that.
I think… this is human nature. No one can stay truly faithful to the other party. There are times when our minds may occasionally wander around and start fantasizing about others instead. But if the love is strong enough, at the end of the day, you will still go back to your family. So, it still boils down to oneself - the attached or the married person. I think it is similar to a teen running away from home. Say, he felt that he did not sense the love given by his family and was attracted to the outside world. So, out of curiosity, he make up his mind to run away from home to explore what the outside world offers. But while packing up, his thoughts went to his worried mum, his caring sister, his doting dad. He thought of how it would break his mother’s fragile heart, and make the family worried sick. Finally, he decided to head back to the welcoming arms of his family. At the end of the day, if the relationship has a strong base, the husband will still go back home to the wife (and vice versa). Leaving no chance for any third party intervention.Anyhow, that is how I feel.
Somehow, this reminded me.

1 day. 7 hrs.
Thursday already.. most of us have 1 day and 8 hours to go (and counting down!)... I see fy has begun to smile absently to herself at work wor... hahaha! received my logbook back liao... oh no! my supervisor gave me an overall grade but didn't grade my final 2 weeks! got a B... haha! the comments were.... aiyah i lazy to type though it is quite short but i can say it doesn't involve anything about me sleeping on the job cause that did not happen(at least not as obviously and frequently as during lessons)!
I wonder how can i go about getting the organisational chart ready though... Hmmmmm i wonder if the company even has one? much of the people here has changed over my stay!
haha.. was quite surprised when fy asked the questions too! My believes is around the same as yh's, i guess... it all depends on the situation? I mean the Husband, the wife and the third party are all thinking adults mah... Has there already been something missing in the marriage that causes the guy to look for another partner? Why is the third party willing to accept a guy even with the knowledge that he is already with another woman? Tho i think actions are hard to control, i think the third party shd think of the consequences of her actions la...
aiyah.... anywayZ, cant wait for dinner tmr! *starts smiling absently like fy*

huh???
what's tis abt coming into a relationship with a married guy??? and tis qns came fr fy, i'm surprised. (wouldnt be so if it's sy or pw .. ;p)
anyway, it's really hard to say ya shld or shld not came in between the married man and his wife. maybe morally ya r wrong. but in life, ya jus got to achieve, achieve wat ya tink is wat ya wan. maybe now ya have made up ya mind to stay away fr him but if he keeps coming to look for ya???? would ya still retreat?
but then again, he gotta be a charming enuff person to let ya self be willing to became " e 3rd party". ya mus have really love him a lot then, if not any normal woman will jus canot take it, fancy the idea of sharing ya man and being the one living in the dark ... *scoffs*

TWO MORE DAYS!!!
i can't wait!! today my colleague was asking me amusingly:"why are you smiling away?" i said:"2 more days!" haha, i'm so elated..
left office at 10pm today. was having this dry run for an award presentation during WGS. darryl david is the mc for this event. wow he can speak mandarin just like us, if not better. i'm impressed. anyway this is where all my videos of the nominees are going to be played. a pity i can't be there to witness the actual event. hee, my boss said maybe i should go back and be the clicker for the powerpoint :p
i agree that we can't quite control our emotions. but we can control our actions. let's say, u feel angry when a friend did something to hurt you. anger is a natural emotion that arises when we feel injustice. but you can choose to erupt at that moment, or calm down and have a good talk with her. the first action may cause you to fall out with your fren, the second action most probably will resolve things and strengthen the friendship as well.
you can't choose how you feel, but you can choose what you do.
i think it's the same for love too. you can't help but have feelings for certain people. but it's what you do that makes the difference. i think to start a relationship, a person needs both the heart and the mind. if we follow the heart too much we might just end up hurting others and getting hurt ourselves..
like this fren of mine who already knows that this guy is not the type she wants (character and age factor) but she still went ahead into the relationship coz she likes him. she chose to follow her heart and now she's facing a lot of problems in this relationship trying to work things out.
but i guess it's really difficult to let our minds interfere in the decision-making process. esp with regards to bgr. and ppl just want to take the easy way out most of the time. enjoy the sweetness first, with no regards to the bitterness that awaits them..
and i agree with sy too :"if he can develop feelings for you despite being married, who can guarantee he wouldn't two-time you?" This is very true indeed.
anyway, this was my supervisor's comments about me:
"Fang Ying is a quiet individual who can be entrusted with any task. She pays great attention to detail and is able to deliver results within the allocated time. However she needs to speak up more."
i hate it when ppl separate my name. in my nric my name is one whole word. Poh Fangying. Why must ppl assume that chinese names are definitely two-characters-separated? it irritates me quite a lot.
erm, we are supposed to write a report on our experience with the company. the german boss wants it. he said we can write anything we feel coz it won't affect our grades. he just wants the truth. the brutal truth. this was the term he used when he spoke to us the last time. anyway, this was what i wrote:
Three months ago, I entered B******** with apprehension because I see myself lacking in computer expertise to operate in an IT department. The fact that I was the only one among my course mates to be posted to B******** added to my fear. On top of that, I was faced with unfamiliar surroundings and a stern manager. The initial period was extremely difficult.
Gradually, I came to realise that my colleagues were jovial and amiable, and my manager was not as harsh as he seemed to be. I got along well with the team and I enjoy working in B********.
I learnt how an IT department works and the crucial role it plays in a company. My computer knowledge increased and I became more aware of how technology is used to achieve greater efficiency. I gained better understanding of the diversity of the IT scope. At the same time I was exposed to aspects of a real working environment. My experience in the company was a tough yet enriching one.
I feel that vulgarities should not be used on employees no matter how upset the employer is. No doubt a boss will reprimand his worker when the latter fails to perform his job well, but employees are human too, and they deserve the basic respect from fellow mankind.
Truth is hard if it is not softened by love, and love is soft if it is not strengthened by the truth. A positive working environment motivates workers and an understanding management wins the hearts of employees. I believe fostering employee loyalty will bring the company to greater success.
what do you all think? is it ok for me to give this to the german boss? it's my truest feelings put into the nicest way..
p/s: how come the fonts become so big from sy's "i can foresee" entry backwards? or is it just my computer?

IF only we could, I would.
people say that when the feelings surge from beneath, it's unstopable. but i believe if you have the willpower, you will be able to prevent it. like i detest and hate and whatever-you-wish-to-say those women who go in between marriages, i will (like i mentioned in previous post) FORCE myself to stop. because it's the old saying of it's better that 1 party hurts than all 3 parties.
think of it rationally: if he can develop feelings for you despite being married, who can guarantee he wouldn't two-time you? yes, marriage had problems. but it's already said: MARRIAGE. lifelong commitment. if you have no courage and commitment towards it, please don't subject yourself and your spouse to such torture. don't marry in the first place. however, if you do marry and marriage crops up, sit down and untangle the issues. that is what married couples should do lor.
psstt...fy, you put asterixes to the name ah? hehehe it's cached! it's cached! neh neh!! haha
all these while, guys that i've set my eyes on, i don't even know whether they're attached not. unlike pw, i am not lucky to find out their availability. don't see them with their gfs, or perhaps come across their blogs or whatsoever clues that tell me more. so, what do i do? admire them from afar la! sighs!!
hahaha i sniggered at pw's last line: "all these love questions are hard to answer. why don't you ask ping? ;) she's older..."
may i differ, your age has nothing to do with answering all the lovey-dovey questions. it's all up to individuals and their emotions at the moment they're facing the problem. one may say i wana take the vow of celibacy (GASPS! haha!) and has honoured for 20 years. one handsome dude comes by, and her vow of celibacy is null and void.
what say you all?

As of now: 2.5 days
i have yet to give my logbook to my director, so most probably i'll give it to him on friday, in return for my last cheque and a B grade for ITP.
regarding fy's post and sy's response:
on a personal level, i wouldn't make any moves if the man-object is married or attached, those two statuses spell hands-off to me. i mean, most guys i liked were (are?) attached, so it's just see, no touch. similarly, if i am attached, i wouldn't like it either if some girl made a move on my guy, though if i wouldn't necessarily voice my displeasure - that would depend on which stage we're at in the relationship.
i wish i can say feelings can be stopped, just like closing a lid on a bottle. of course it isn't that easy. yes, i wouldn't make any moves because he is married, but i don't think i'd be able to stop myself from liking him either. however, what happens if he was the one pushing for a relationship despite his wife? the line isn't so clear anymore right? you like him even though he's married, and he's proposing, not marriage, but that you guys get together because he likes you too. so what do you do? would you be able to put a hold on yourself when the time comes? i can only say that i'll cross this line when i come to it.
you see, maybe the person who's coming in between the married couple really didn't mean it, but since ******* likes her and she likes *******... then try try lor... haha. all these love questions are hard to answer. why don't you ask ping? ;) she's older...

this other perm staff has decided to leave. so technically speaking, without all the interns, my department only has 2 ppl. my boss and this web designer. i had been making calls yesterday to arrange for interviews. web programmer, anybody interested? :p today will have 6 interviewees i think, and 2 more will be coming down tomoro.

i can forsee..
i can forsee it's another B from the media supervisor for the final grading. she was on leave and will only be back on friday. so i am giving my logbook to her for final assessment despite being in the media for only 2 weeks as compared to servicing (5 weeks). because i work with media most closely.
and fy, is ******* having problems with his wife? hehehehe and you're the person who has developed feelings for him is it? hahaha don't deny. ok, my answer is <u>NO. why? because i hate the kinda woman who goes in between married couples though they already had problems. now, pw would probably say that but you cannot stop feelings. yes, but in this case, i will FORCE myself to stop my feelings for him. i seriously detest, even HATE those women who go between married couples. only applicable to married couples, ah.
those boyf and girlf types, aiyah go in between la! eheheheh coz i propose that kinda notion. as long as he/ she is not married, just go for him/ her la! hehehe but of course, if you don't mind being labelled as a bitch. any takers for this, anyone? personally, though i agree, i won't subject myself to humiliation and insult.

i'm a B person
i got my final grade already. my boss gave me a B. yesterday i gave him log book to sign, told him that i need a final grade by Friday. coz these few days the office is quite chaotic, only 5 more days to WGS. this morning he returned me my log book, with the final grade and his comments. he even signed and stamped the attendance page.
would u go for a married man? let's say u got to know a man who's married, but for some reason he's not on good terms with his wife. you like him and he likes you too. would you go ahead with this relationship?
3 more days!

Tuesday blue.
this has to be the most exciting day for the past 2 weeks. i helped with a FA and mock-up before lunch. after lunch, it was a standstill. even my boss was napping at his place. thus i decided to do my own things- surf the web (blogs, to be exact) and send resumes. so mundane.
the 'exam' came at about 5 p.m. whereby client's banner had to be resized to a feet shorter. using Illustrator. my boss had to go for a meeting and he left me with the resizing. i played around and fiddled here and there but could not get it. he came back 15 minutes later and i surrendered. he was nice actually, he just asked me to try before leaving for the meeting. in the end, he himself also had quite a time resizing it and the both of us stared into the screen and "kao peh" for a while before he finally got it done. hehh
must have failed. he was encouraging, he said all these come with experiences and the first time he did it, he was also confused and blur. so it was not that bad. at least he gave me chance to play around with the software. and quack express was not THAT fascinating as i thought it'd be. they look fairly easy to learn. but then again, softwares are easy once you get the hang of it.
practice makes perfect.

irrelevant randomness
hahaha! okay... so sorry yh tt the countdown does not apply to u! But u have 2 weeks 3/4 days more in your co... XD also not very long la! Fangying's post made me amused: the np pple are not likely to deliberately fail internship as they have no idea whats in store for them. But we know better!!! i thought our 3 months is already a ridiculously long time! Unlike Sy who gets to rotate through different departments, those who are stuck doing the same thing through the three months already cant take it! (eg. Shisi doing data filing..heh heh) 5 months! That's about as long as the time a normal staff might stay! they are doommmmedddd!!!!
anywayZ, i bought sly's cd! har har! okay i bought it 70% out of curiousity, 20% to support and 10% because i wasn't thinking/i was disillusioned that i have too much money. i feel like talking about it here la.. not very related to the main topic about internship and all, but still... i'll just type it...
The first thing i'd noticed was that they have a booklet featuring close up of sly's face inside. I seriously cannot think of any uses for that booklet.... it's funny!!!!! Okay... the music.... i cant remember the titles cause my chinese vocab is limited... The songs that left deeper impressions on me were tracks 2, 6, anjing and another song. The rest all had similar moods la... Track 2 is the most sly-ish, and towards the end, there's this 'rap' part (i don't know what to call it, it sounds like sly is trying to call out attacks) which says something like "Sylvester's 10 slaps! You want to stop me i blockblockblockblockblock!" hahahahah!! very amusing!!!!! Track 6 is a song by L'Arc, one of the bands i quite like... it was also an anime song though i cannot recall where i heard it from. The song was sung by a singer with a powerful and deep voice.... so the mood of the song was quite lost after sly sang it, making it feel extremely mandopop-ish. Also, the tune was brought lower a little so Sly could reach the higher pitches........... er... ahahaha! But considering my low expectations of the cd, it actually exceeded my expectations! The vocals are actually quite decent..... hahaha!
oh well! ok... 3 more days. 3 more days!!

oh well! ok... 3 more days. 3 more days!!

I CAN'T WAIT!!!
i can't wait for friday to come. i really can't wait. 4 more days!! i am so glad that our internship ends on the 15th, not 16th. whether it was SB, ms low or mr ang, whoever made that decision, i'm so GRATEFUL.
i am already in no-mood-to-work mode le. plus today everybody in office is so black-faced. even the ppl who were nice and pleasant all the while are becoming less friendly and more snappy now. they called it the Pre-WGS Symptons. i can't help it, all my good mood is ruined by the ppl i faced in the office. Monday Blues came to look for me late morning, and it only left me when i stepped out of the office.
val is not staying for WGS, even though they are offering to pay her $1,000 for the two weeks. to drop CNA for PKH, i think it's really not quite worth it.
the two new NP interns came in today. their internship is 5 months!! all i can say to them is "GOOD LUCK"
i am so thankful that our internship lasts for only 3 months..
anyway they say if they fail their modules, they'll have to stop internship and go back to school immediately. their results will be out next week. if i were them, i'd rather fail my modules and go back to school than to stay here for 5 months. really. i'm not saying this in a fit of emotion. after serious consideration, i decided that to stay back in school for one more semester is better than to stay in this company for 5 months.
i miss you all! even though we just met last Friday.
sy, come back soon!!
i can't wait to get out of the company!

me doing binding
yesterday my boss was testing camera. coz we'll be taking pictures during WGS and then post the pictures to some live gallery. so my boss was going around taking pics and testing out the live picture gallery. and he took this pic without me knowing. this morning he sent it to me thru email - "Subject: A Picture"
haha, now that i know how to post pictures i keep posting. it's fun :)
company pic
finally figured out how to post picture le :) sorry ar a bit slow. anyway this pic is way outdated. currently only 4 of us left. two new NP interns will come on monday.
sorry leh, the WGS my boss says we can go as in me and the other interns that worked in the company ar. he din say we could bring frens. anyway, i dun think i'll be going lah. all the distinguished guests while i am just a small fry.
ms kwa told my boss i was sad that i could not stay for WGS. i didn't leh..
anyway my boss din say anything bad abt me to ms kwa. phew. i was quite worried that i did not perform up to his expectation. he said i was conscientious :p
val decided to stay till the event is over. think she's very stressed now. everyday worked till midnight. that day she broke down. hmm.. we also dunno how to comfort her..
Under-qualified.
darn! when i saw the job opening that i wanted to apply to, i tried applying through JobsDB itself (usually i'll craft the resumeand cover note then send straight to the employer, without going through JobsDB itself) but this time i decided to try through jobsdb. guess what?
You are under-qualified for this job. Although you can still apply for this job, your chances will be very low as you have not met the employer's basic requirements.
Required:
- Junior Executive
- 2 years(s) of experience
what the fcuk! if like that ALL fresh grads are ALWAYS under-qualified for jobs liao la. so not encouraging. hff!
anyway the Group AD talked to me yesterday, as promised some 2 months ago!! he wanted to talk to me about how servicing works and bla bla bla. nothing much, what he said i've already know either through textbooks or through my own observations or through my annoyance to other AEs, asking them.
but he did mention that it's very important to find a good mentor/ teacher. not every BIG advertising firm is good in every department.
*digress abit* damn la! the job opening mentioned above is looking for Accounts cum Admin Exec, i misread and thought Account Executive. then when i saw they wanted someone with finance/ accountancy/ banking background then only i realize! haha but my statement from paragraph 2 still stands!
anyway as i was saying, find a good mentor is important. he said if you want to be in the creative, then this agency (the Malaysia office) is good. but their servicing is not. many people wants to work in here but if you're aiming at servicing, you might want to consider. it's just opinion, i don't mean anything here. so i asked him which agency in Malaysia has the "best" servicing team. and he mentioned our agency. DUH! so much for objectivity!
he also added that the first 2 years are going to be very tough-going. you CANNOT be shy to ask questions. heck, ask even stupid questions. ok, that does not sound hard to me, at least! first 2 years are your foundation years and after the 2 years, you're expect to ask INTELLIGENT questions. hahahaha! and always appear confident, bla bla bla.
ok, he's got some good advice la. so i asked him what are the nasty clients and good clients like, what he looks for in an AE when he first interview the applicant. and all i need to know. he wanted to do it over lunch but heck, i don't know where the lunch is going to be and how much it'll cost me (if he doesn't pay for it, but most prob he would. but you'll never know!) then in the end had it in the conference room, freezing cold as it was raining outside.
alright, these seem redundant but anyway let's enjoy what is left of that ONE week for us, alright? psst, fy, do you have to work on saturday, 16th april? hehehe Have a nice weekend, all!

Da Brave Soul
the new intern in my company, the brave one without advertising background. she came to me for help today and yesterday, asking me to explain how an agency functions. finally today, i gave up. i told her that i am in no position to help her as i am as the same level as her: intern!!but no, she was persistent to ask me help her out. yish! had to explain to her in mandarin. how the heck do i tell her production in mandarin? kaoz!
anyway, she was supposed to do a report on the functions of an ad agency (ie OUR agency). a task given by her supervisor, which was my supervisor in servicing la. pw: The supervisor. ;) looking at her, i definitely think i deserve more than a "B" ok! she said, "aiyah, just whack and handup to The supervisor. hope he doesn't ask me any questions because i don't know how to answer!" brave indeed. how can that The supervisor don't ask anything, knowing him! tsk tsk. fat hope, new intern! :P i am mean.
but i cannot stand her attitude: the heck-care-anyhow-whack and let-the-day-pass-by-quietly. GRRRRR!
the 2nd brave soul is ME. yes, i was happily playing chess on Yahoo! Games when the director, also happily walked past. Lucky it was chess, intellectual game! hiak hiak. but i think i overheard him telling the secretary about wasting money on training bla bla then never...(i cannot catch what else and i cannot stand outside his area for too long! there's reflection. HFF!) hope he isn't referring to wasting money to train interns then never do work, only play games. but what can i do?! even my own supervisor plays Bookworm!! but i always kena caught by him, on msn! not caught but he loves walking by.
heard from the finance colleague that when they had mgmt meeting, in which the finance director attended, director said, "don't think i don't know what i going on in the office. i walk around alot and i know." *gasps*
win liao lor! but that does not deter me from playing intellectual game like chess, right! because the art directors were playing the physical chess game itself!!!

a tanjong pagar discovery
we really must thank Jess for all her countdowns! all those reminder of how many days we've got left in our respective companies, haha. better don't let your boss see ah!
so, three months and what have we learnt?
1. how to blog but make it seem like you're doing actual work
2. have tissue, will chope seats
3. tissue chope-ing method does not apply to subway, unfortunately
4. getting to work before 9am does not get you into the office, because all my colleagues arrive after 9
5. no matter how crowded the lift is, just remember: nothing is impossible
6. peak hour teh-oh is always cheaper, unlike the ERP
7. never eat at Solo Cafeteria, the makcik will give you the skinniest drumstick
8. my boss is forgetful
9. the hand-dryer in the ladies have operating hours (9-6)
10. flyer distributor has become a full-fledged full-time occupation (!!!)
haha, there you go. my "lessons learnt" upon 12 week of industrial attachment.

no subject
why do some ppl only come look for you when they need a favour? why do ppl think of you only when they need something? feels like being taken for granted and made used of. i really hate it. i dun mind lending a helping hand when ppl need it, but when all is well and they dun need any help they just disappear. dun need help means no need to keep in contact? it's so frustrating. are these so-called "friends"??
that day my boss also asked us where we are going for holidays after graduation. the other SP intern said no $$ leh. then my boss say low budget then go low budget places loh.. it's good to take a holiday.
eh.. paiseh leh, not us as in cut6 ar. he meant the 3 of us SP interns working under him. sorry..
so tomoro how? organiser organise until halfway..
ms kwa is coming tomoro! :)

yoohoo! six more days!!
HKL came today...
everytime she came, time passed so fast.
anyhow, the managers and her were talking about the generation differences between us and them.
then and now. -_________-
then hkl actually took one of the updated ad rates file(!)
actually, it's given to her by my manager=p
today the director's wife talked to me...
woa, asked about my plans.
and her advice was to study asap coz once you step into the working life,
you'll be lazy to quit the moment you find a stable job, esp the ones that you like.
if not, maybe can study and part time work lor.
and the crucial part.
she asked if i am going anywhere holidaying~
hahaha! i mentioned you guys and some places...
funny how she was so concerned and mentioned not to go to thailand for it seems chaotic now.
so... where are we heading to?! Redang???
finally my mp3 player is working.
it was spoilt un-usable due to some "firmware problem"
now, finally it's up and working!
so, tomole (fri), let's meet up ok?
peiwen, fangying and me.
erm, jess got some event to attend.
and ss and yh... they din confirm...
so... us three.

or you guys have any suggestion?

sunshines brighter with each passing day
hahaha.. honestly speaking... doesn't a steamboat one week before internship ends kinda anti climatic? hmm why not have steamboat on the 15th instead? sure feels more celebrative!
I cant wait for internship to end!!! any of you want to celebrate the end of internship by helping out in yearbook? *smiles* We the design team have no body! (okay.. got la.. but its sooo little that we actually are probably even gg ask shisi to come down to help.. so yeah..!) it will be a great way to celebrate days of no internship and you get to savour the atmosphere of SB DMS for a prolonged period of time! it'll be an unforgetable experience! ^^ do join us! (i hope i am convincing u guys rather than scaring you all away...)
my friends at TP have also started their internship a week ago.. hahaha! they actually face the same things!: work they do turns out irrelevant; they wind up doing chores and buying things.. hmm... but they get jobs faster la... mayeb cause their course is more specialised... One of my friend went into a company that has only 4 pple working inside including an intern and they handle a whole range of jobs from producing personal dvds to computer repair stuff... Another frien (not from TP) went into a company with only the boss and his girlfriend plus their dog, which came as quite a surprise since i saw their website and they did appear rather established!! Then that intern had to do all sorts of things from designing logos to making multiple phonecalls like a clerk/secretary! haha!
okie... 6 more days to end of internship for those with 5 working dys (i think 6 more day sound faster than 60 over hours la...) we'll soon be free! *nods*

12 more days to WGS
the whole company had a WGS briefing today. about the roles and responsibilities of each person and what to anticipate during the event. even though i'll be out of the company before the event starts, i still have to attend the briefing. even the 2 SP interns who are leaving tomoro also have to attend.
hmm.. the whole thing sounds tough and excruciating, yet exciting and fun at the same time. makes me want to go thru the whole experience too. but my boss is not extending us, coz more interns will be coming in next week. but val's boss wants to extend her. she performs well and she has been getting A for her weekly grading. she can really do her work ar, i think she's excellent. able to work under stress and handle tough jobs, not like erm.. someone else. i think she's very responsible and professional. u noe, she brings work home and goes back to company on sundays ar.. just to finish everything on time. obviously the boss will want such a worker.
and this event seems glamourous. the guests are from all over the world and most of them are rich ppl. need to dress up, make up and keep up with appearances. a bit too glamourous for me i think. everyone will be in suit and tie and gowns and all that. i can't imagine myself dressing up like that..
my boss brough us out for lunch today. we were out for two-and-a-half hours, coz he had to drop the WGS cd-rom for production at this company in Ubi. then he has to pick up some server thing at Great World City. and he brought us along. the 3 of us SP interns. we had lunch at this japanese restaurant in Great World City. his treat. i was surprised by his generosity. took a peep when he footed the bill. $100 plus ar. and the 3 of us had ordered the cheapest on the menu..
anyway, he was a senior technical consultant at this company in Great World City. he said first he con them then he insult them. i took a while before realising what he meant..
12 more days to WGS. everyone in the company are busy preparing for it. atmosphere is tensed and ppl are stressed. WGS is on everyone's mind. we walk it, we breathe it, we eat it, we sleep on it, we dream of it.. i left office at 7 plus today. i was the first to leave, everyone else is still busy with work.. the big boss treated everyone to dinner.
p/s: so are we meeting for dinner this fri? but dun eat steamboat ar. can do with hawker, fast food or some not-so-expensive restaurant?

HIGH~~~
i am currently on "high" mode. and it scares my friend off! haha she was chatting with me on msn and she was asking errr are you ok? hahahahah anyway gonna do some random bamblings here since i am bored doing my cover note! brrrr!!
my colleagues said i am very "si wen" (gentle? ladylike?) and quiet. wahahahahah obviously they DON'T know me yet! hahahahaha how can i be si wen when i am like the devil??? hmmm it makes me wonder if i give people the wrong impression. they haven't seen me cackle and explode ha!! wahahahahaha
anyway it's about 63 hours more for me in the office. different kind of countdown hah! that is from 9am-6pm daily. of course i arrive early! but the few minutes early are spent making myself a hot cup of milo and crap around a little. wahahahaha 63 hours don't sound too long.
find that the last 2 weeks are crawling at snail's speed. partly because i have nothing to do at traffic this week. imagine, my traffic supervisor is playing yahoo games- Bookworm herself! DOINK! how can i not find time crawling? sighs! the last 2 weeks should have been in busy busy dept like production or media where i find that time flies by.
last 2 weeks are like the first week of IP- going by in a slow slow speed and hard to take!
my colleagues said i am very "si wen" (gentle? ladylike?) and quiet. wahahahahah obviously they DON'T know me yet! hahahahaha how can i be si wen when i am like the devil??? hmmm it makes me wonder if i give people the wrong impression. they haven't seen me cackle and explode ha!! wahahahahaha
anyway it's about 63 hours more for me in the office. different kind of countdown hah! that is from 9am-6pm daily. of course i arrive early! but the few minutes early are spent making myself a hot cup of milo and crap around a little. wahahahaha 63 hours don't sound too long.
find that the last 2 weeks are crawling at snail's speed. partly because i have nothing to do at traffic this week. imagine, my traffic supervisor is playing yahoo games- Bookworm herself! DOINK! how can i not find time crawling? sighs! the last 2 weeks should have been in busy busy dept like production or media where i find that time flies by.
last 2 weeks are like the first week of IP- going by in a slow slow speed and hard to take!
almost daily countdown
we're left with seven days! hahaha.
think some of us will be a little bu she de to leave the office after having stayed for 12 weeks. i'm not one of them. :) don't get the wrong idea, i do like my company, just that the working environment is not something i'd want for anything longer than 12 weeks. so there.
yesterday my director gave me my allowance for march. bit funny to be getting your allowance after the month has passed, but nvm, money is money. he just realised that this internship is the last stretch of DMC curriculum, imagine the shock on his face when i told him i would be done with poly after next friday. haha. happy is me! smilies cannot convey satisfactorily how elated i feel. :) :) :)
HKL came for a long lunch with us, her liaisees, yesterday. we chatted for about two hours at bk, she's quite lor sor - the old people's syndrome. anyway, upon her advice, i think i have decided to defer one semester and enter uni next february, which is when the main intake is. easier to meet buddies and fellow singaporeans, i hope.
i met one of my old secondary school teacher last week. she didn't teach me but we are neighbours so we talked a bit before i had to board the bus. she asked if i missed secondary school, well honestly, i did miss st. anthony's in the beginning when poly just started. now it's become more like a fond memory of the silly things we did. maybe SP will become like that in time to come.
oh, eh, i want to go for dinner this friday leh. nvm if yh and ss cannot come, still got fy and me, we confirm attendance already. unless you mind our presence...

rrrrraaaaaaaaawrrrrr!
originally i wanted to complain yesterday but the computer screen had an adverse effect on my stomach.. ~_~ AnywayZ, i sway sway kena food poisoning of all things yesterday... raaaaaaaaarg
anywayZ, i nvr reli notice the pple on the same bus with me leh... Hmmm... Maybe because the times i go to work vary? AnywayZ, problematic beings i face on the bus would be people (most of the time undesireable old men) facing the wrong way when holding handles... Whilst pple face the seats in front of the, these old men face their butts towards the unfortunate souls sitting... Making the journey VERY awkward!! =_= They cant seem to observe those around them and follow the examples of the normal standing commuters!!!
today was supposed to work on visuals of an ad but heck! the file i worked on some time ago is not to be found!!! utter rubbish... i have to start from scratch now.... HMPH. stupid cursed MAC....

yeah!^-^
mid of the week. left less than 8days til the end.
seriously speaking, i cannot wait.
thou i know that after that, i will be rotting around for awhile,
but i am juz looking forward to the end.
oh ya, this fri, i was thinking of steamboat at marina bay.
yh and shisi said see first cos might have something on.
they'll cfm by thurs.
so... if can't, we can have steamboat on the 15th!
or ktv!!! kakaka
these days i seldom wear my contact lens to work.
so usually, i can't really make clear of who is near me...
it's only when, that is, if, i am going out after work,
then i will pop the contact lens into the eyes.
just yesterday, the colleague was on the same bus as me.
i boarded the bus, and found myself a seat.
a few stops later, it was time to alight and i got a shock.
there, she was, standing near the exit.
i said hi!~ and then apologised that i did not see her as i did not put on my contact lens:so malu sia.
last week, i did the scheduling of the tv spots and my eyes almost pop out.
so many programmes loading, and you have to take note of the budget
and whether which spots are the most suitable...
ended up i took quite some time to finish...zzz
getting sick of the same procedures.
work is getting to be such a routine.
a routinised life.
you get up early in the morning,
board on the crowded bus,
reach the workplace.
looking forward to lunchtime.
finally, lunchtime came and gone.
feeling sleepy after lunch.
looking forward to getting out of the workplace.
finally the clock struck that spot that you were looking for.
(usually no OT for me)
you heave a sigh of relief that one day's gone just like that.

i am happy. i am. I AM!!!!
i am happy. i am. i am!!! haha i am happy IP is finally coming to the end. i am happy i am going to go back to school. i am happy i am going back to dms for editing. i am happy to see the cut six cheater bug who cheats us of sixty cents. (it all rhymes, doesn't it :P) i am happy to see ma nee princess who hugs her ma nee biscuits so tightly. i am happy to see jess, editing video in our editing suite, Cut 6. either that i am happy to see her sleeping. i am happy to see minah kwan with her fussy ways. i am happy to see my cellmate aka meano. I AM HAPPY!!!
though i am NOT happy stoning the whole day for yesterday and today. whilst some of you said you are rotting away, i am already rotten. but at least my traffic supervisor did explain to me how it all works and well, i was popping M&Ms.
so much for my "walk the stairs" campaign with colleagues. hey, i did not bring that campaign up first ok! they brought it up since they wanted to keep fit! hahaha at least i have company! after lunch, we make it a daily affair to climb up to our 9th floor office. we came from basement 2 so that adds another 2 levels. so it's 11 floors. wahhh i suddenly feel healthy! hahahahaa
outta here....I AM HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!

yah, fy, you are!
yes, fy you are busybody! hahaah just kiddin' la. but then it's common lor. everyday i walk to the bus stop, i SEE the same people, board the bus, also see the same people from where they came from and we alight at the same bus stop and board the same shuttle bus! see! it's a vicious cycle (to see them), that is. haha
my thumb drive nearly scared me to death. literally! my laptop, actually. the machine cannot read my thumb drive and after i re-started then only readable. stupid computer/ IT soft/ hardwares. makes a person's life miserable only. sighs!
oh yah, i wanted to say this long ago but always slip off my mind. notice how some people simply lurveeeeeeeee hugging the poles on the bus? think they are singles and desperados on the road. there was one morning, i board on the bus, so many people i don't get a seat. so i had to grip on to the pole right? then this malay ah pui, yes ah pui had to lean on the pole, her breast, i repeat her BREAST on my clean, dainty, nice hands! not like she never realize it because i do fidget my hands but no, she decided to use my hands to cushion her fatty breast. that stupid malay girl! she was not an old hag, mind you! quite young, i guess around 20s. tsk tsk so shameless!
another encounter: those standing on the bus are already hanging on to their dear life while the bus drivers drive happily drive recklessly. whilst yours truly here held on to a pole which was beside this indian, correction! it's a bangladeshi! kns bangla! my hand was at his head level, he was seated. he turned and looked at me. in turn, i gave him a cold stare la! kns bangla! you invade my country still wana stare at me! hmmph! when i moved to the back of the bus and cleared "his" pole, he just conveniently leaned his smelly head on the pole! yuckks! first- the poles are meant for those passengers who are standing and have no place to grip on. secondly- he's so greedy! already seated yet wants to contaminate the pole! shit man! ok, i was full of fury and AM now full of fury, too.
computer gave me problems and heart attack and gmail cannot seem to operate well. wonder if it's a post april fool's joke which isn't funny at all! i cannot send out my resume! grrr!! irritating ler! right, so gmail has decided to go against me. fine! i am outta here.

busybody me
previously i mentioned i see the same ppl everyday when i take bus to work rite? there was this couple who board the bus after me and alight before me everytime. recently i dun see them togther anymore. i see the lady alone a few times. and once i took an earlier bus i saw the guy on the bus. today i see the lady alone again. maybe they've quarrelled and instead of meeting each other to go to work together, they decided to avoid each other? haha not much point in saying this actually. just shows that i'm a busybody :p
and today during the bus ride to work, i saw my boss's car travelling beside my bus. normally i don't have the habit of looking out at the cars. but today i just happened to look out of the window. so many cars on the road yet i spotted his car. such a coincidence..
i feel that i have become more alert lately, haha :p
p/s: turns out that the system admin has another better offer waiting for him. u see, he sends out many resumes and went for many interviews. he took up this job coz our company happens to be the earlier one to accept him. since he got another better offer, off he goes!

been some time
been some time since i made noise in here ah. answering pw's last post, indeed very saddening and heart wrenching (at least for me) when my friends cannot turn up for the gathering that i organised. frankly speaking, remember after mmr (i think) i organised a dinner at newton circus then wanted to torn the night? only norman, shisi and wq turned up. you all said cannot make it last minute. when we met at newton mrt, norman commented and said these "walau! why so badly organized?" these were his exact words, k. i felt like a failure lor. but then "suan le ba".
so, i feel like our progress chart in our respective company is quite electrifying. at least for me. one moment, the chart is stagnant (ie nothing to do) then goes up very high (busy busy) and then drops drastically because you're simply waiting for jobs to come in (that is my current situation!!) pw also right? today she brainstorm wor.....hah! laugh at me brainstorming some more la! blek! eheheh
and we were saying brainstorm for our grad trip which has to be settled ASAP. TOP URGENT matter hoh! because i'd want to start work asap also. i stated in my resume, my availability is anytime after 22nd april. sighs, did not want to waste time sitting down and not generating income :P
so decide, ok? the digital film fiesta storyboard also, hv to get it done. i'll print the form in office tomorrow. but hv to inform the secretary our printer (media side) the ink running low la. hahaha thanks to who? hehehehe
BUT first thing first, the grad trip! pw has casually mentioned that the redang bay, if we go, we can book a family room. hahah family! we ARE a family! cut6!! miss you all! cannot wait to go back and start my crap and idosyncrasis once again. hehehe and we've yet to complete our cut6 video oh! some more say wana give ping and doris a copy! haiyoh!
oh a new intern came in today. wah seh when my servicing ex-supervisor was explaining things to her (eh, he never explain things to me also! KNS!!) she said she has no idea what is she doing here. she has no background in advertising and doesn't want to be in advertising. Walau! when the secretary told me, i was so stunned and gave her a blank look man! don't want to be in
advertising then when you know you're posted in an ad agency, you should tell your lecturer right? siao one leh! play play with future. how many internships she is hoping to get? cis!
oh and i discovered that admist all the deadlines and rush work, there ARE people who puts fitness as their first priority. there are people in the office that wakes up at 5+/ 6 AM, mind you it's AM!!! to go gym. -rolls eyes- more like speechless!! and t is one of them, pw! yes, fitness buff, fitness gay ah! hahaah siao lor! but then those who frequent the gym ah their body is good lor, can see de. hehehe you see, my company has a sports club so they play futsal (dono what is this ballgame la!) and joins gym (where, i don't know. else i can go there and join them also. heheh) siao man! when i wana catch up on my winks, ask me to go work out?? PUI! :P

i am rotting
hmmm... pw's post reminds me very much of my own secondary school class... i must admit i'm veri lazy .. heh heh... Sometimes i put more priority into sleeping at home as compared to meeting classmates la. Hmmm but i don't think so much emphasis shd be put into actions! haha... take for example a fellow school mate and i. After graduating, i had my own friends my own life and she found hers... we interests clash completely (she loves shopping and mandopop and thinks that the only job out there for me is fashion design.. omg!!!) and thus we don't really get together much... Hmmm but once or twice a year, we'd take the initiative to call each other or meet up and it just doesnt feel like we've drifted apart for some reason.. yup... i started out with a reason for typing this, but now that 'm done.. i cant seem to recall what on earth was my reason!
ohoho! back to my original reason for posting...
it's a really really wet day. i woke up feeling nauseous... The day at work started off with a blackout... Both acc side and creatives also kena.. The office was stuff and the staff were somewhere between relaxed and restless... haha! Summore it was pour so much outside the road starded flooding.. (my office's on the second storey but can look down) Quite fun... can see the water gushing around!
Went to a casket store to take photos... by then my stomach felt very wierd... and felt damn cold Urgh... half died on the journey back... blaaaaaaaargh please please please dont be food poisoning.. noooo.... i detest food poisoning!!! it's pure torture!!!! XO
hummm... i shall get back to feeling soggy and dead now.... seeyaZ
****2 more weeks to end of internship! that makes it 10 working days for those with 5 day weeks! Remember to clear you MCs while you can~!!! We'll see each other again in 10 more daysss!!! YAY!!! we have a project to do!<--i just wanted to say that for the irony of cheering for projects.

romanticizing years ago
i have lunch with my friends in 30 minutes, but i needed to pen my thoughts first. here goes:
in secondary school a close friend once declared that i wouldn't be one to keep in contact after graduation, and that school to me was a chapter i'd close after i was done with it.
she hadn't been aware of it then, because i had just smiled slightly and kept quiet, leaving her to think that she had hit the nail on its head. but how far from the truth she was.
nearly four years after graduation and if you'd look back, who was the one not keeping in touch? not me. the number of times i've played organizer is too many to count, but what about her? i think, maybe, not even once? i'm not lying just to put myself in a sorry state.
our group of eight is perhaps a big number to handle, so many people to call if you want a get-together, and we've all gotten used to not having everyone turn up because, well, with eight schedules, it's pretty tough to get them to coincide, isn't it?
but i'm not talking about whether you turn up or not, because you might be there because of guilt. i'm just tired of you asking "hey keep in contact yeah?", instead of "hey you want dinner tomorrow?"
a simple trip down memory lane would reveal that it's always been the same people who suggest dinner, lunch, a movie, just to talk, birthday celebrations, and all that.
look at us, for example.
i think i wouldn't be too far from the truth if i were to say, four years later, fangying, siangying, myself and perhaps jessica will only be the ones suggesting meet-ups. my feelings - i think they're called disappointment.

...
guess what? the new system administrator (who joined us yesterday) has decided that he doesn't want to stay in the company.
think this morning he went to talk to my boss abt wanting to leave. without looking i just went into his office to get some software CDs. then i realised the 2 of them were in a serious conversation. i turned back and walked out immediately. (the consequence of not knocking before entering..)
after the guy came out, my boss called the other 2 perm staff in. after they came out, the big boss came and spoke to the new guy and my boss. then the GM came and asked to see my boss. just before 1pm, all the department heads had a meeting with the big boss. aiya.. very messy, i also dunno what exactly happened. In conclusion, my boss wanted us to stay behind till he finishes the meeting.
we waited till 2 plus.. that's when he announced that the new (ex?) system admin is leaving us. then he gave a short briefing of what we had to do. i think we are really short-handed, plus the 2 SP interns are leaving next week. he said to them:"u two have done well, though u guys won't be staying for WGS, i hope u all can still do your best in your last week to help us get ready for the event. so far SP interns have never let me down. interns from SP have always performed up to standard compared to the other polys." i was thinking:"did i perform up to his standard?"
anyway, he thanked me for my help, but he'll need me to help them prepare for WGS too, with all the setup and equipment. guess for the next two weeks i'll be doing hands-on stuff. actually it's quite cool to do IT. But only if you can do it well. or else ppl ask you to solve computer problem u cannot solve then die on the spot.. and bosses especially, are not very computer-savvy ppl.. and they are not very patient too.. if i'm not that clueless about technology and computer, i might consider taking up a position like system administrator or something :p
the 2 SP interns are leaving next thursday. then left only me. next monday will have 4 new interns, but not for our department. IT department will have 2 new NP interns coming in the following week. my last week will be their first week..
i can't wait..
p/s: this company treats interns like goods ar. i saw the exchange of their emails, go something like this:"how many interns do you need? i''ll order two more next week.."
and i found out that actually my boss had wanted some IT or multimedia student, but all taken up (as in all attached to other companies already). HR found out that our course still available, so "ordered" me instead. i think the reason my boss accepted me is coz i noe video editing. (i saw the emails exchanged between SP and HR, and also those between HR and my boss) sigh.. interns are just nothing in their eyes..

HR found out that our course still available, so "ordered" me instead. i think the reason my boss accepted me is coz i noe video editing. (i saw the emails exchanged between SP and HR, and also those between HR and my boss) sigh.. interns are just nothing in their eyes..
email to share
share with you all this email which i find amusing and bold (the writer). some parts have been censored.
