When can I be a student again?

Everyday as i make my day to work, i would look at the other side of the mrt line, then i will start thinking, when will my attachment end, when can i be in my t-shirt n jean, leave the working crew, and enjoy my life as a student. But I am happy to say, another 5 wk 3 days more. Hope it won't be too far away. This mon, as i made my way to the office with my friends, we were happily chatting that is our party wk. Becos all the directors n department heads are away to view the london head office. But when we stepped into the office, we found that our supervisor rm was wide open, means she didn't join the rest for the london trip. Haiz, wasted leh, still thought this wk can relax n enjoy myself. But as a consolation prize, she will be taking half day off every day cos her daughter is gg to take her PSLE exam soon.

After doing 48 times of transaction cost, i thought i could finally get rid of it. But sad to say, after the meeting, she asked me to do the transaction cost for developing countries. Ai yo, transaction after transaction waste time only, but nv mind lar, what can intern like us do. Come to think of it, its the beginning of a new month, and that means payday, after a month of hardwork, I finally can take some money hm as my reward. Hmmmmmm.......... after my observation for these few weeks, I realised maybe I can be less formal n can have my own definition of formal. Since the staff strenght is only half, I will do what I want...............

Am I really that lame?

Yeah, this is our fifth week, almost half way through. This week is a busy week for me, so many things to do. Today was approached by 3 persons to do things for them. It is either i m too efficient, many ppl want me to do things for them or i look simply too free to them. Last wk, I discovery something, there is another student fr NYP that is attached to G** also. He is from sch of IT, and he is at the depart next to me. Through him, I notice one thing, NYP students like very weird and not presentable. Its like we will die if we do something for our supervisor or open our mouth to talk to ppl, maybe we are just too shy ba. But think he worse then me, cos he is the only intern there n he look like he really want to die.

Haiz, after abt one month, i can only say the thing i have done most is transaction cost. I have redo it for 48 times. I do until i can memorise, i even tell my friends that i have transaction nightmare. Thinking of it make me sweat. Haha, today is mid autum festival, so we have a small little gathering where we eat moon cakes n chit chat ard. There is this ang moh fr London who is attached to my depart. She damn gd life leh, live in a apartment studio with swimming pool sponsor by G**. Her rank is only abit higher then mine only lor. So we began chatting abt hw life in G** n my friend told her that i hate office job n wanted something more happening n outdoor. So she asked me what i would like to do in future n guess what, i told her i want to be a clown, n she actually heard it wrongly as accounting, kind of far rite, but its okay lar.lol. As we chat, i dunno isit i too pretty n distracted her, she actually spilled her drink on me, luckily its on my pant n shoe, not my white shirt. After abt a week or so, everybody know i m what kind of person I m and all my weakness are exposed like my eating habit. I start on all my crap n nonsense that is lame of course, but i think the ppl there kind of like it cos we r ppl fr the same world.

A blessing in disguise afterall

A very long time nv blog aready........ didn't know I still have supporters. This week is the inverse of last wk, this wk i m super happy. Let's say about GIC first, erm.......... this wk is a very enjoying one, really regret not opening my mouth n communicate with the ppl in my department. Perhaps when i first came, there was not other intern student other then me thus I was abit lonely and maybe all the while i have been interacting with all the female ppl in my department. Thank god to the incident that happened last wk, it forced me to opened up my golden mouth n ask for help. Really must thank this guy call William, he is a super nice person. Knowing i got scolded maybe becos he didn't help me to check. He spend almost one day to solved all my prob without doing what he is suppose to do, n this wk when my boss look at my wk she was very pleased cos all correct, but all thanks to him of course. I feel he is like "xue zhong song tan" give me help in my time of need, so sweet. Within one wk, I click very well with him n he is also from nyp, same sch same interest. We can chat on almost everything and he asked me out for lunch too, so i don't have to eat alone anymore. Really very very happy.................. One think i noticed that was very funny is nowadays, the guys are behaving more n more like girls and the girls are behaving like guys. The guys in my department are very gentle, maybe becos i m a girl ba, when we go for lunch, the guy will bring tissue for the girls. And girl are getting more violent and rough. The tp girl that has just joined is a nice person also, feel very comfortable with her.

They told me that i was a very pampered child, then i felt like really got abit like that. Maybe I got very high ego and could not stand simple criticism by other(boss). I think i am too sheltered. I will learn to be strong.

Happy or Sad? It doesn't matter anymore.................

It has been a long time since i last wrote in an entry. So think i gg to one n 4 all write everything in. So many thing happened in one week, be it financially, physically, mentally or emotionally. Firstly, financially, i spend like over $400 on my ds, icy blue one. Wow, a stingy person like me spending so much. But after looking at the colour, quality and the games of the ds, very worth it leh. But the only thing i felt not gd enough is i dun have the time to play.

Think physically everyone shld have ba, unless u r a robot, where u will not feel tired. I think i like 7 eleven like that, i work everyday, 7 days a week. But i felt different when i went back to work this sat. I felt so much happier, i super miss it, all the people, my friends, supervisors , working environment, everything. Now, i truely understand that when there is a comparsion, u will understand things that are gd but u didnt realise.

Now, more imptly, talk abt the stupid G**, after a wk of observation, i can confirm that it is a library, not an office. Everybody talk by whispering, if u talk at normal tone, the whole depart will hear u. As for my job scope, really cant believe what i m doing, not only do mgmt brief, pivot table, i was ask to create a query, performance report n currently learning those stock graph like what fsrc ppl r learning. Ai yo, i from accting not financial, i really cannt understand leh, u might as well kill me ba. As for lunch, i gave up fr eating, i rather spend my precious 2 hrs slping. Everyday i struggling to stay awake like panda bear.

When u found out u don't like the coy, u will start looking for the ending date, ph, wkend n etc. After doing a tabulation, there is only 1 ph that is on 8 nov, 47days after deducting wkend, ph, n the 7 days that we have wk for, there is still 446.5 hrs till today. So sian leh, i nearly got caught by the director while i was doing this. Today the asst director did a one to one appraisal with me. I can tell that she dont really like me though she was smiling. She kept qnsing whether i knew the purpose for doing all those works. All of course i dunno rite, but anyway, cant be bothered aready, I decided to reach n leave on the dot.

As for emotionally, i m so happy i patched up with my bb. I LOVE U! I will not say who my bb is.

My nightmare begins from here........

Yesterday, i still thought my job would be a piece of cake, sitting there shaking my leg. But today, my nightmare begins, I was ask to do some transaction thingy, running of query and etc. I heard from my colleague that the person that was guiding me is a monster. She won't say what she want and will just complain to the director that u nv do anything. So thank to her, i check my work real properly so that i wouldn't get any scolding.

Sometimes, i wonder how much money the colleague in my workplace get. Yesterday i ate alone n is Maggi noodles because nobody ask me out n i couldn't find a seat. So i was so happy that someone finally decided to ask me out for lunch. As it was raining heavily this afternoon, we went to Tiong Baru. Guess where we eat? Omg, at a restaurant, a place where my pocket burned a really big hole. This meal that i ate with them cost ard $20 plus per person, just for lunch. My colleague was really nice, she pay by using her credit card but she didn't ask us to pay her back the money. But i think i shouldn't be so thick thick skin n take adv of other ppl. So tmr i will just have some bread for lunch, the meal that i ate today was my pocket money for 3 days.

Just another bad news for me, b4 me was an intern fr np, she was really very gd n hardworking. Think her gpa got 4 ba n she is also fr accting. She submit her work real fast n she leaves home only at ard 9. And the worst thing is she is on extreme gd term with the director grading her who is also grading me. She is just like a daughter to the director whereas i have not even talk more then 10 sentences with her. I m really in deep shit, not only i have to report early, i can only go home at ard 6.30. Really very tired, can i dun go back to that place tmr...................

First day at work

Well....... This is the day that many of us have been waiting for, a day where we tremble with fear and excitement. Today, i reported to the hr department and was transfer fr depart to depart to collect my access card. But one of the things that caught my attention was the securities act that i was required to sign, that is abt 2 pgs long. I thought i would only find this type of things in coy law. Basically, it just states what would happen if u breaches the terms in the contract.
Next was like what u would expect in drama show, shaking hands with the entire depart saying nice to meet u. I was later shown to my seat, wow, a desk, locker, PC and an ext phone number especially for me. That place was pretty high class, got all sort of drink and tibit and also new stationary, basically, u just need to bring urself there.
There is plenty of freedom in the sense that u can do whatever u want n nobody will come n bother u. The job assign to me is consider pretty simple n dumb. The so call management brief is just some copy n paste work that ppl without brain but with eyes can do. And i think i will be doing this for the entire 2 months ba. It leave me to wonder what types of values i could really learn by doing this........................

Haircut

Today i finally did something which i wanted to do long ago........ not something pervert, but i went and cut my hair b4 my first day at work to cast a gd impression. But what is so unusual this time is a guy cut for me, kind of weird men and he took 1 hr to cut my so call few and oily hair. I shouldn't say what type of hair i cut cos i think even if i say u all will say dun look like. After which, went to check out where the hell GIC is located at. And to my horror, it takes about 15mins of walk, omg, i hate walking leh. Especially with my high heel, think b4 i can even reach, i will be limping lor. But fortunately, i am very lucky tonight. I managed to get a comfortable pair of covered shoe at an unbelievable price of $19.90. So honoured to keep repeating this, and my tailored pants for $19 at G2000.



Oh ya, and thanks to my special friend who link me to the outside world.

First entry

Haha........ finally start a blog of my own, initially i didn't want to have one. Cos got ppl say even if I blog also nobody will bother to read. But after considering, still decided to have one, if nobody read then i enjoy myself ba. Today i went and watch hairspray with Christina, Yeefong and Shili. I didn't enjoy the show much and I nearly felt asleep cos it was like singing after singing dont really suit people like me, maybe LC people like me dunno how to appreciate ba. I told Christina it is just like asking the ang moh to eat chinese cuisine and asking yu quan to listen to chinese song and guess what? Yu quan really appear infront of us. Second time when i say her name and she appear rite infront of us with her mum, got abit shock like speak of the devil like that. And not to forget, I promised one impt person that if i ever start a blog, she will be the first to know. I think that's all for the day ba, otherwise tmr i will have nthing to blog.
