as expected, the chalet was great! (: though there were a few little episodes here & there, overall it was still a great way to spend my sat.


Finally tasted the beer that so many people recommended! Ya, its got a quite nice after-taste, think I'll be looking out for it in future when we're drinking tog again. Last nite was super sinful. Old Chang Kee, Coffee Bean, buffett, cup noodles in wee hrs of the morning then breakfast at White Sands.

I do hope Zhi Zhong had a great time ytd, we all know how tired he is cos he was knocked out on the train. Haha.. but still.. he's one of the people I've known the longest ever in my life. Zhi Zhong, happy 21st! I hope with this you'll find more confidence in yourself and many more great friends (like us!) to accompany you in ur future endeavours!

I tink we can dong quite well last nite. But I was one of the people who slpt the most, haha. We went to pay Thong Ler a visit at NUH after we chk out. Glad to see he's doing fine, except he's pretty bored i guess. Get well soon! We're looking fwd to seeing your usual self again!

----------------------------------------------------

I really, really appreciate the time spent with this grp of people. Was a terribly good way of taking my mind off things for a while. Thks you guys, for listening to me at Coffee Bean. I know I sprung a surprise on you all by confiding in you guys like that. LOL. Trust me if I had a better way of breaking things to you all, I would.

And also, thks for ur advice & telling me your thoughts abt the issue. I know its quite shocking to find this kinda thing happening to someone in our clique. Which was why I spared you all alot of details so that there's nt as much awkwardness as there alrdy is. I'll think through it properly, promise.

I messed up things. recently alot have happened. And when I say recent, it really is.

now I need time, and alot of personal space to sort out my thinking. Be strong, gal. Face it.

As the weeks went on, I realised actually 8 weeks are actually quite short. Now I'm moving on to my last 2 weeks. Starting to feel I may not bear to leave the place and the people I've got to know! Now I can chat/joke with some of the managers and they know me by my name! Its weird la, before that they call me 'xiao jie', 'xiao mei' & etc.

As Wenhui dear's interning at Emerson which is like a stone throw's away from my co. we met up for lunch ytd! Haha.. it was fun meeting you gal, after so long... Its a pity I have to leave early due to my pathetic 45 mins lunch break. Met her fren whose also an intern from NUS, Joshua. Learnt abt this shocking sex assault case at Clementi Woods which is just nearby. Be carefu ladies!

Yay! I'm so looking fwd to tonight's party at Sembawang Park. Yes its freakin' far but for the sake of our dear friend Wei Zhe, nvm la hor? Besides we can see soooo many friends there, its worth it! haha.. I shall bring my new cam there & take loads of pics!

But a big boo-boo is my handphone's still stuck somewhere in Samsung, I can only get it next week like on Mon or Tues after wk. Damn sad la, why does it have to take a week?!?!

this week has been busy but good. I love to have evenings filled up after work with meetups, dinners etc. It makes me have sth to work towards to at e end of the day! But of cos, too much of these do tire me out. But who cares?! hahaha, weekends are here and I can rest more.

today for e.g. I had work, meeting and a trip to IT fair lined up one after another. Finally bought a new Canon! I so wanna try it out! But nothing to take yet, haha.. but not much to worry for this, 2 21st parties coming up!

i did not really tune in to the news on tv or radio, and as such I missed out on e news of the 2 army recruits who had died in separate incidents during their trainings. somehow or rather, I was reminded of the dragonboaters. one thing leads to another.. and the next thing I know, I'm at their blogs (those dedicated to them) and you can guess wad happened...

almost a week since I lost my appetite last Fri, and I'm glad to announce that I think its finding its way back. I found myself eating more today, and given that I was eating in the canteen... *clap loudly*

I wasn't stressed at work.

No relationship problems.

No friendship woes.

But I mysteriously found no appetite to eat, end up being hungry at odd hrs, and when food is served... I found myself eating very little. Weird! I like to think the weather is the culprit!

Anyway, while looking at my table calendar last night, I counted my working days left till the official end of my internship. I have 16 days left! about 3 weeks. Which is damn fast, I say. I find it a pity because I've just only begun to know more people in e company, and they've only just got used to seeing me in HR. Oh well, they may wanna extend me if they cant find a temp staff. And also they are actually looking for a HR Exec to help lighten the load, we've seen only 3 candidates so far. If before I go there's no news, then v likely I may be asked to help (: I don't mind! Cos 3 weeks left, I wouldn't be able to find other jobs. And it'd help to earn some buckaroos (courtesy from ivern :P) after I shop in BKK!

in the past week, I realised and experienced for myself, the advantages of being a female in a company that is predominantly male. :P

the canteen uncle let us cut queue when we walk away from his stall cos we don't want to wait. and wow, we really didn't, he served it out in abt 5 mins. Then uncle teo was damn nice to pay for our lunch ytd. I dunno that when he kept asking me wad we are having for lunch, he was wanting to go pay for us. Only when the wanton mee were served did we know, it was already paid for. Quite paiseh he did it, but I learnt that he's actually a very nice uncle, takes gd care of his colleagues, esp younger ones like us. And so, I think I will treat him lunch or breakfast one day (:

And I'm starting to slowly know more people in my company! more familiar with the coordinators, secretaries & managers. And recently I got to know a management trainee, Jeremy, better. He's quite nice to offer me rides home, cos we happen to live near each other, but I didn't accept the offer. I feel weird sitting in someone's car when we have yet to know each other better you know?

Anyway, last nite... I gotta apologise to Eugene. Being in my usual vulnerable state of the month, I was quite grouchy. And tired. Esp when I realised he took a pic of me while I was slping in e car. And he was driving!!! Oi, u better dont upload to the net... haha.

already 4 weeks of intern have passed by in a whirl. Wow, its quite fast isn't it. That means 5 more weeks and I'm off to bangkok!

Been getting to know more colleagues, and they've all been pretty nice to me. and the world is really quite small, haha. I realised there were super alot of coincidences I never thought would happen during an internship. haha. for e.g. my mahjong kaki used to do temp there. imagine that!
