ended work like 6.30pm yesterday. im so sick of working now. haha embraced the ideal of just knocking off at the official knock of time cos seriously, work never ends.

left work with edmund and supposed to meet jasmine at robinsons to buy david's present. but as we were walking towards to robinsons, jas was telling me that she was intending to buy lingerie and wants my opinion. i laughed and turned to edmund and asked him whether he wanna join us.

edmund :" NO....siao. so paiseh lah"
me : " are you sure anot.. maybe u can give opinions.. u are a guy... more accurate"
edmund : " actually, guys prefer girls to wear nothing..."
me : *jaw dropped* " and i thought u were innocent and decent...."

ho ho ho. edmund, u are seriously dead. met him and jas for BK lunch at millenia walk today and he still had the cheek to say " so what did u guys buy yesterday? same old boring stuff???"

anyway, last night was quite a night for me. some of you would know im like 50% deaf on my left ear recently. for 2 months. it became real bad till the point that i cannot make up the words people are saying while on the phone. so after shopping, i went to see a doctor and he wanted me to go down A&E immediately cos i couldnt hear the tuning fork. he said i was suffering from sudden hearing loss.

er. that's really nice to know. at moments like this, i wud rather be completely deaf and not hear what he has just said. kidding, it was 9pm and i have not eaten dinner.

went back home, bathed and ate and went down to A&E alone at TTSH. had desperate housewives on channel 5 to entertain me. i took a look at the hospital. is that what im prepared to do. i see medical officers doing graveyard shifts. the long queues. the diverse A&E patients with all sorts of illness/injuries to attend to. thought about it real hard and long while waiting for my turn. when it is my turn to be an MO, this is gonna be what its like.

oh yeah. i would rather be doing that than sitting in a bank trying to make money and make myself miserable.

anyway, the MO couldnt pin point the reason why my left ear is blocked. possible infection but referred me to a specialist. sigh, whats wrong with me. im always getting this illness, that illness. dont get me wrong, im not indulging self-pity. just wondering whether my DNA is seriously made up of defective genes from my parents. oh well, just have to live with it.

meanwhile, enjoy this song called CANDLEBURNT by dishwalla. thanks david for introducing to me. it rox.

was waiting for my hair to dry just now.

its a saturday night and hardly anyone is online. so, i was bored of AOL... and i did the never-expected thing: surf through friendster.

it was a pretty interesting experience; looking at people you know, people you used to know long time ago.. and wondering who in the world some people are even though they are in your "friends" list. i wondered why i added them...

my back hurts very badly now.. i think it is time to go for physiotherapy once again. my pre-mature arthritis is getting from bad to worse and it is now affecting my back very badly.

mommy, can we sell away the uzap and buy a u-papa instead?

Bj got me addicted to AOL sessions. go to youtube and type in "AOL".

from there, i realised that nelly furtado cannot sing. Anyway, here are my favorites so far : they are seriously power.

NEYO - SO SICK


Katherine Mcphee- Over it



AMY WINEHOUSE- YOU SENT ME FLYING (oh gosh.. i love her.. just watch the whole thing!)



TRISTAN PRETTYMAN & JASON MRAZ - SHY THAT WHY ( go to 2.30 mins and love them to the core! )


JOSH GROBAN - TO WHERE YOU ARE

i kinda pissed off today at work. for the first time.

you know, i dont mind doing tedious stuff for the perm staff at work. but it gets my bloody boiling when i have done all the stuff, they suddenly change their mind, not because there are changes, but because they never bother to say that information given to me is not updated or simply they change their preference. it happened twice. first time, ok, understandable and pardonable. 2nd time, it gets on my nerves. it doesnt help especially when im using MS Access to update an database all day when i just learnt how to use MS Access and am causing others so much inconvenience during the course of the day just to do updating while my "mini-boss" simply cant make up his/her mind at the end of the day.

bloody pissed. i could do some useful to help other people who really need help.

anyway, watched 2 dvds over the weekend. 1st - the inconvenient truth 2nd- provoked.

i highly, superly, duperly, absolutely recommend the 1st dvd. dont judge it by its summary or looks- just watch it and u will understand why.

i so screwed my life this week.

went to work on monday feeling so refreshed and by wed, i was half dead. wednesday,i had tonnes of work to do and met jas,melwyn and edmund (year 3) for lunch at crystal jade. i was like "omg" to edmund.. expensive lunch.. but well, it served its purpose. the zha jiang mian was a good motivator for me to finish my work for the day and hit down school for BE management meeting till 12 midnight.

next day, had nothing to do. so ran some errands for the other interns. and lo and behold, work came in when 1 hour before knock off time. always happens. i managed to clear it but decided to stay back to help sarah, the german intern, to send some files to 36 associates as she needed to pack her back for her flight. wati and i had to send a 40MB file to each and every associate. tell me, how in the world can we send via email? the IT department told us there is no way to set up a website to upload the files due to compliance issue, so they told us to burn it into 55 cds per associates and send it via courier. cmon, USE SOME BRAINS.. DO I LOOK LIKE A PERSON THAT WOULD SPEND TIME BURNING 55 X 36 CDS FOR FUN?

the internet system blocked our access to yousendit.com, hence we had to find some ulu website called "transferbigfiles.com" to upload the files. every time it hits 99%, some stupid error msg will pop up. STUPID NONSENSE! wanted to upload the file on some yahoo briefcase or equivalent, but again, blocked due to security reasons. HOW IN WORLD DO U WANT ME TO SEND THE STUPID FILES BY THE END OF THE NIGHT?

gave up at 9.15pm. sent the files to my gmail account and decided to upload them to yousendit at home. felt bad cos i was supposed to meet mingxing for dinner at around 8 plus, in which during that time he was tasked to grab a birthday cake for me for my mum's colleague birthday. ridiculous request but yeah. oh well. ate dinner at around 10pm at this korean-jap bento place@ millenia walk which is quite pricey for a bento. but they have solid hot kimchi to die for... i just need kimchi and rice and i will be super happy then.

we tried to get a cab to head home but murphy's law again, NO CAB AVAILABLE. what the crap.. it was 10.45pm and no cab. so decided to walk down the road to see whether there is any cab in sight.. so many cabs......busy status. whats wrong with them?

in the end, we walked and walked and ended up at esplanade. took a bus home instead.

reach home, bathed and it was time to do the uploading of files... i fell asleep while trying to download the stuff into my harddrive. so i woke up half an hour early to do so. Finally, i had the time to buy the long-awaited $1.95 BK breakfast that i have craving for. brought it to office and everyone was like " wahlau, BK breakfast!" and i was "yah lah! only 1.95..." .. i ate with my boss sitting at the desk next to me.

I learned how to use MS Access today. was forced to learn cos i had to do some stuff with it on monday.. was intending to buy "MS Access for dummies" but i felt, no point doing so much for an internship. had nothing to do.. so again, ran some errands and had lunch at BK (AGAIN) with the interns. had nothing to do again after lunch, so.. yes.. help the other interns with their work. i found out that Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc is under the Louis Vuitton Company.. OMG Iona's and my favorite white wine!

anyways, before i left work today, i fell down 4 times-thanks to my heels in which the soles were totally worn out to the metal screws. the last time, i fell in front of my colleagues and 3 executive directors. omg. MALU-ation to the max! now i have swollon bruises on my lower and upper arms and knee caps. tsk tsk.

left work together with martin (year 3) and my heels were making chipping noises thanks to the worn out soles. martin was laughing at me cos i sounded like a walking bird. bloody idiot. so we walked to city hall to get them replaced and walk to chijmes where i had another BE management meeting over drinks till 12am. its like the 2 friday in the row we were at chijmes Table 108, so we asked the manager whether we oculd have corporate discounts since they kinda know us. but instead, they are launching a lady's card thing next month which they say they would be giving to me (yah, as if they remember). so oh well, till then..

it has just been late nights and expensive dinners.

i realised that after i started working, i have nothing much to blog. other than my weekends, everyday is like... a normal day.

start work at 9, end work at 7.30 or 8pm.

Had a great yet a bad last week. fell ill but the days on mc were the days in which i really rested. i still feel tired and weak, appetite bad but, i'd rather fall ill (for once).

yesterday, met mingxing for lunch. went to spizza at jalan kayu. i didnt know that jalan kayu is so near to sengkang... anyway, although i have been to spizza quite a few times, this outlet is pretty unique. we couldnt make up our mind what to eat other than calamari. the waiter decided to order a pizza not from the menu- his creation basically it had loads ham, mushrooms, loads of cheese, spicy meatballs, antichoke, something else i cant remember, and an egg in the middle. he told us to spread the egg yoke around the pizza and it really tasted good! i ate 2 slices and my stomach was about to explode.. mingxing ate the rest and u can guess how big his stomach was.

One thing i like about eating at restaurants is the ambience. yes, the physical ambience is important. but talking to the staff is great as well. the outlet at jalan kayu is very small.. and so is the staff. they are one bunch of friendly and warm people. constantly making sure we were well fed and happy and talk loads of food-related stuff with us. probably because we were the only customer left when they closed for lunch. little things like these truely make my day.

supposed to go to batam this coming weekend with the council but i gave it a miss. no money and didnt wanna spend so much money this month- gotta clear credit card bills. but going to plan one next month to go with chieh or my fellow interns :) cool funky stuff man.. cant wait to have a good massage :)

One week into my internship and I think im not a favorable choice as an intern.

Tuesday night, did OT again. Im not complaining. Met zhizai for dinner after that. Felt super bad cos I was supposed to meet him at 730 but my meeting ended at 830 and he was on his way home already.

When I reached home, I felt an immense discomfort and started puking the whole night. Woke up yesterday morning and I had to drag myself to work. I nearly gave up going to work at the mrt station. But I have a lot of work to do so somehow I convinced myself to work.

Through out the morning, the office felt like a freezer. I was sitting beside one of the bosses and he kept looking at me as to why im hugging my jacket so tightly. Then, I decided to see a doctor during lunch time.

I had a very high fever and super dehydrated and the doctor suspected dengue fever. She wanted to give me 5 days mc but I told her that im only 1 week into my internship and that is not going to reflect well about me. So she changed it to 1.5 days and on Friday if my fever does not go down, I have to take a blood test.

So I went back to office. Did a couple of work before I left at 3. slept till 2.30am last night when I woke up cos I felt super dehydrated. I ate 3 mouthful of porridge and I was next to the toilet bowl puking again. Effectively, I have not eaten since Tuesday lunch.

What a great way to lose weight from the aussie trip.

i am a 2-day old intern.

i have been doing nothing but eating air in the office for 2 days. 1st day- understandable, i didnt have a desktop to work on. so i was reading articles over and over again, pretending to be busy.

2nd day, i deliberately went to work earlier to make sure my email account has been set up. everything was up and ready. and i still have no work.

and everyone around me was super busy.

i had waves of guilty conscience hitting me every minute. my boss- either too busy or away at meetings. he'd rather pass some work to the other interns but me. probably becos im not familiar with the system.

after an hour, i ran out of ubs websites to surf, and i beg the other intern, wati, to give me something to do. at least help me look useful.

it is funny cos even though i didnt do anything much for the past 2 days, i still feel kinda tired. probably because i haven recovered from the bad plane flight.

im finally back home after a gruly 10hr flight and being awake for more than 36 hrs. and tmr is my first day of work at UBS.. whoopy. i wonder how i can survive.

suffering from jet lag, post-motion sickness and lack of sleep. but no matter what, it was FANTASTIC trip. with 4 boxes of krispy kremes!!!!

it was hilarious cos the customs at sydney were trying to snatch my doughnuts.. so did the air stewardesss. yep, fancy an asian girl carrying 4 frigging boxes of doughnuts all the way home. the krispy kremes guy thought that i have a huge family to feed, until i told him that singapore doesnt have an outlet.

ok, stop here. need ta sleep before my boss fires me tmr.
