Sorry for the lack of updates for the past 1 month or so bloggie. Haha it's Friday morning 2 July yo! And half a year has gone by. GRRRR! Scary if u ask me.

Anyway, this year has not been a smooth-sailing year. Not for my internship but for my personal life - family. If u know me well, you will probably label me as a "family person" so knowing the pain that you are going through and not being able to offer much assistance hurts. Thank god everything is sorta back to normal :)

As for internship - it's official! I have 2 more months to go before I can officially bid farewell to the company. BTW 2 of my lunch kaki(s) are leaving soon. Well, to pursue the next step in their education. I certainly wish them the best :D

Alright! I Shall end this post with a goodbye and till my next post which will be sooner than u think!

There is absolutely nothing to restrain me when I meet this bunch of people. I can be who I am and talk what I want and like and they CANNOT stop me! Haha...my point is I just feel so comfortable and at ease with this bunch of old friends.

I am not a person with no emotions - I feel and care for others really and truly. I want you to be strong, healthy and fit. I will stop thinking about it. I want to smile - a genuine smile! :D

Can someone enlighten and tell me why the human mind is so complicated? Is there something as maybe? Probably not - many times it it is usually a definite YES or NO.

Anyway, if you are wondering, week 10 of my attachment is over. I am happier and feeling more "balanced" as compared to the emotional turmoil in the earlier post.

Was brought to Shangri-la Hotel for site inspection on thursday. My colleagues (or rather seniors) had to know what they are selling. It was also the time for them to maintain good working relationships with the hotel's staff (mainly sales and reservations).

Last but not least, the buffet dinner at The Line was yummy. In fact, I think it is better than Cafebiz @ traders hotel which is actually their sister hotel. HAHA...I am such a glutton but all in all the site-inspection was supposed to let me see/learn and well, be EXPOSED to the things all around me :)

Till my next update people!

Sometimes, at a certain point of time, you will feel terribly exhausted. In fact, after 2 months of attachment, I am tired and worn-out. I won't be able to describe the emotions overwhelming within me but the feeling is not good.

The main thing is I am saddened BECAUSE I realise that what I am doing is actually pretty boring and repetitive stuffs. I mean there's only so much an intern can learn from things that are done on a daily basis. What's the point of doing it weeks after weeks? I have tried telling myself that I am starting from the bottom bottom so I must do the most basic tasks but after doing it for two months, I wish upon the star that there will be a change :(

It's true that you will not let an intern take on the responsibility of a perm staff. You do not expect the same level of competency from them, you do not want to overload them with work for fear that they will not be able to cope, you must think of the consequences SHOULD the intern be making HUGE mistake since the company's reputation is at stake.

How can I adopt a positive mindset when I am not happy? On the surface, I might appear nonchalant and cheerful but deep inside, it's really not like this. I really envy my friends who are having a more holistic and well-rounded internship programme but it was my choice to begin with so what's there more to say? Let's hope tomorrow will be a better day :D

It has been quite some time since I last blogged - One week/Two weeks? Anyway, today marks the end of my second month as an intern. Think of it this way, it is rather fast that 2 months have gone by but in another angle, there's still 4 months to go - two-third more of my internship program to go through.

The two months have been pretty smooth-sailing as in there wasn't any drama(s) or big hoo-ha(s) or well, maybe not yet. On a side note, there will be many changes in store for me. For one, I was in 2 department for the first 2 months and now, I will be solely placed in one department. Secondly, my current supervisor will be heading to another department therefore, I will have a new supervisor to grade me for the next four months.

Changes cannot be avoided and in a way, makes one stronger. Oh well! If you want to know - I really like my first supervisor and from the bottom of my heart, I am thankful to have her as my mentor, showing me the ropes, making me feel welcome and everything.

And now, I dunno what else to say except I must be a good intern for the next 4 months and all the best to me yo. Haha...that's so random and fake. i wonder why..

Come to think of it. Some people will always be in your life whereas some people just come and go. LOL! Ironic but true. I think I should adopt a more positive attitude in doing the right things and doing things right. Va-Va-VOOM :))

May~June~July~August and I smell freedom for 1.5 months (or so I hope)

Yesterday, I met up with my secondary school pals at Changi Airport. The main aim was to send ANITA off for her 2 months immersion programme to China. Honestly, I think it is a great opportunity for her to be exposed to new things and as I love travelling, I think it's wayyyy cool! :)

I observed some tears amongst her classmates/coursemates who seemed to be pretty sad that their friends will be leaving for 2 months. Ask me my take on this and I reckon 2 months will pass by very quickly. In fact, I feel that she will be back in our sunny island sooner than we think. 2 months later in June, I will have only like 2.5 months more to go before my attachment officially ends.

I'll be meeting up with my secondary school pals on friday to celebrate Abilgail's birthday. Seriously, my attachment is really making me super drained and my friends are indeed my main source of motivation. Meeting them puts a smile on my face and outings plus personal time are much appreciated. On a sidenote, I should sleep soon if not I will sleep in the office during working hours tomorrow and my head will roll on the floor. LOL :P

I just realised that it has been more than 10 days since my last update. Haha..if you wanna know, today marks the end to week 7 of my attachment. Oh well! There's still 19 more weeks or so to go which is roughly four and a half months - still many things for me to learn/explore/understand. How exciting!!! I know I am being kinda sarcastic but from the bottom of my heart, attachment has been jolly decent and engaging so far. My time is rather utilized and oh well, it's cool in a unique kind of way.


Okay! That's all for today and I shall go to bed now. YAY! Photos have all been uploaded on facebook and Lyndia is more efficient than me. HAHAHA...have a good weekend guys and happy working! :))

If you wanna know, attachment has been pretty good so far. I'm still in the process of learning new things blah blah blah. Ask me what I have learnt and I will tell you no lies yo! But then again, I have difficulty explaining to most people what I am actually doing. Crazy NOT?

The only thing I am unhappy with myself is that I am in two departments and I ought to balance my time MORE fairly between the two departments but yet but yet but yet I seem to have failed terribly in this aspect. So please tolerate and forgive me seniors. I promise I will try my best to switch on and off as and when I should. This is so horrible of me! Another thing is that I will have a change of supervisor. Good or Bad, I dunno. Changes make me awkward but then again, being the very adaptable Gen Y I should embrace the situation with pride yo.

Okay. I am pretty much done with my post for the dap. Pretty boring if you ask me but at least got the message across (well hopefully) :)
