Emotions echo in so much space

Bought food back to the office and took more than an hour for lunch.  Last day of internship and it was a little bit emotional for me. As i cleared my desk, i felt so attached to the walls that was surrounding me. We gave cushions and a thank you card to our colleagues as a farewell gift. We know how our butts would hurt from long hours of sitting. So, a cushion would hopefully provide comfort while working. A mug for our boss which says, “laughter is the best medicine.” He always smile and i have always see him as a father figure.

I survived 7 weeks of internship. 33 days of constantly falling asleep on my desk and a painful butt from the long hours of sitting. As i walked out the door, my heart ache a little as i think about the lunch i always have with my colleagues and the wonderful stories he would share.

All the best to everyone.

Something dreadful.

Guess what? THIS WEEK IS THE LAST WEEK OF INTERNSHIP! I’ve yet to complete my log book. Oh shit! I wanted to actually do it during the weekends. But, i didnt! I’ve got 5 weeks of entries to complete. I spend the whole day filling up the empty pages of the log book. It was dreadful and definitely not something i enjoy doing!

Coming down hard

It rained heavily today. When we left the office for lunch, the sun was shining so brightly. Halfway through our lunch, it started pouring like there was going to be a storm or something. We waited half an hour for the rain to stop but it didnt! Eventually, we had to call one of our colleagues and ask him to fetch us! He brought umbrellas but because the rain was coming down hard, my colleagues still got drenched. Surviving the air-con during a rainy day was terrible. It was funny though. I kept laughing throughout the time when we ran under our umbrella.

Oh yes, i won a CD hamper from one of the radio stations last week! Getting sleepy at work is unavoidable. So, the only way to deter sleepiness is by preventation. One way  is by listening to the radio and participating in any available contest. I participated and won! Kept me awake for the next few hours after that. haha :)

The hidden sweet wrapper story

I’m such a forgetful brat. Yesterday, i brought some sour plum candy to work to keep myself awake. There’s no dustbin located near to my desk. So, i folded the sticky wrappers nicely and “temporarily” hide it under my keyboard! I had like 3 sticky wrappers hidden under there. I wanted to throw it at the end of the day but my poor memory didn’t remind me of the wrappers. Totally forgot about it. I started to remember about the wrappers only when i was about to exit the building. Horrible! Throughout the whole night, i was hoping not to find any giant ants on my desk the next morning.

Well, this morning, i rushed to my desk to check if there were any ants. Scanned through the surface of the table and the result was negative. No sight of any ants crawling around. The moment i lift up my keyboard… i saw 4-5 ants crawling around the sweet wrappers. Omg, i quickly took some tissue to wipe the table. Threw the wrappers away and sat at my desk innocently.

I shall not “temporarily” place any sticky sweet wrappers under the keyboard ever again. haha.

Days when the buttock feel tortured

Terence booked out today. For once, i think, it was nice of them to let him book out on a  Thursday night. Unfortunately, he had to book in on Sunday morning. haha. So poor thing!

After i end work at 6:00 PM, took a train down to Pasir Ris. Least than expected, the journey was pretty fast. I reached at about 6:35 PM! While waiting for him, i spent time in the library reading magazines. By the  time he came, it was already 9:00 PM.

We took a cab back to his place. He bathed and quickly left the house for dinner. It was raining heavily and i was feeling freaking hungry. By the time we had dinner, it was almost 10:00 PM. I didn’t have the appetite to eat much so i had prata and shared rojak with him. I wouldn’t want to eat a big meal because as soon as i reach home, i’ll probably lie flat on the bed and sleep.

Oh yes, i cant stand sitting long hours in the office. It is torturing my butt. I had to shift my butt to several positions while sitting. I cant sit the same position for very long. Moreover, i  feel so “guilty” of eating lunch. Imagine this, after a fulfilling lunch, i’ll sit for several hours on the chair. I don’t even do any other activity other than sitting down. I WILL GROW FAT from all those sitting. I eat food for energy but i never use it up. I’m too lazy to jog or do other forms of exercises. So, yeah. After lunch, I aim to stand for at least an hour i while doing work. I’ll try hard not sit on the chair.

Congrats, i’ll probably look like a freak doing that.

Own time, own target

For the past few days, i’ve been blabbering too much about skin care that i haven’t got the chance to talk about my attachment.

So, here it goes…

Attachment is GREAT! I’m currently attached to an accounting firm, doing marketing for them. I’m given a desk and a computer to work on. There’s internet access and my colleague even said, “You can do everything with it. Check e-mails or go to messenger.” For lunch time, there is no specific timing. Everything is in “own time, own target”, so it is not very pressurizing.

My working hours are from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. 5 days week. Hooray! Thankfully, i am able to enjoy the weekends and still have a piece of the holidays. I must say, i don’t feel any stress working at the company. Most will come in as late as 10:00 AM and leave as early as 5:30 PM. My in-charge don’t come in to the office in the morning. He’ll be around only at noon, or at times, he will even come in as late as 4:00 PM.

However, know what is the only thing i hate? I cant stand working in an office because i cant keep myself awake! I keep falling asleep on the desk. Especially after lunch. Gosh, i really got to work on my attention span.

I’m attached

I’m attached! To an accounting firm.

Just checked my ITP placement result. I’ll be doing my attachment at parkinsons. The office is located near to Shenton Way. Ooh, thats where HOT guys in business suits can be found? Walking around CBD area with office wear and heels: Bernice, dont get jealous ar.

7 weeks of attachment will start on 2nd March 2009. Oh phooey, that’s less than a month time.

I’m joking – the part where i said hot guys can be found. The love of my life is hot enough for me.

I saw it! I saw it!

I passed my freaking BTT. I was so nervous that i can hear my heartbeat while doing the test. When i touched the screen to submit the answers, i saw it! I saw it! I saw it! It said, “PASSED”.

I’ve booked my FTT next month. Bernice and i booked the same date. We’re so gonna start our car practical lessons soon. Prolly after our ITP.

Thanks for your prayer!
