Meet up with ling & Wei for lunch at Amoy. Tried out the muffin that was introduced by ling. It was freshly baked, nice and cheap! Thank ling for treating me the blueberry muffin as i'm just so freaking hungry. Shall visit maxwell next week!! :)

Breeze at Scarlet Hotel

I went to Breeze with colleagues for dinner. It was actually a farewell dinner of another colleague from another dept. Breeze is an outdoor rooftop bar, more for a drink rather than dinner. The ambience was good, cosy feeling and nice view of the buildings at CBD at night. I tried Belgium beer today- it was my second beer. I find it really awkward to dine with them, and facing difficulty when it comes to handling the food!!! Anyway, it was really gd experience of like getting a feel of how this kind of envt is like. However, i still like those simple envt... hahah.

After which, went to balcony bar to meet my fren. Pretty cosy and a jarcuzzi was in the middle of the bar. It was quite a nice place to chill out as it's windy.. alright, that all for today. I sounded as though promoting the bar in singapore!! lolz.

DEPT lunch:)

I had lunch at Imperial Treasure Restaurant at Taka with my colleagues today. I'm really not used to that kind of life they're living. Simply too high class and i'm just like not in the correct place. Realise my sup was just living 5min away from Taka. They drove cars like Lexus and BMW. It was my first time sitting those car. There's one nice Ferari at the office carpark and we kept looking at it.

I feel weird when they treat me to lunch. I mean really paiseh. This itp allow me to experience how a high class position is like, expose to their way of living. It is totally different. They know how to pamper themselves and enjoy their life.

Truthfully, I do not have the ability to do the task they gave me. It's just too complicated and I don't have the knowledge to it. however, i'm satisfied with what i have achieve and done so far=)

From this, I actually realise how important study is and sch life is much more better!!!! It is much more interesting when you get together with your friends and buddies. =) 3 more weeks to sch start!!

A wonderful experience

Today is a really special day, as my dept hold their first regional meeting and I'm was given the opportunity to attend the meeting. It was a really long meeting which starts 8.30am and end at 6pm with break in between:)

It was my first time to see such a major meeting in a huge meeting room with all the big shots over there. It was scary though, probably it was my first time to see such a scene. Anyway, everything went smoothly!! YAY! :))

Had teriyaki chicken bento set for lunch and some cakes and sandwiches for teabreak. All of us headed down to Geylang to have our dinner after the meeting. We had the famous 5Stars seafood at Geylang. The food is nice, however it's really expensive and the customer services over there simply failed. The staffs are really rude. It is my first time to drink TIGER BEER as well. Most of them told me " You must learn how to drink, dance, gamble in this industry." I think what they say are true. It's fun to take pictures of boss acting as waiter too. Boss was gd at it .. haha! oops. Had great fun today:)) Looking forward to tml meeting!

Nice weekend

Family gathering at cousin's house, played mj and a new game called " in between". Lady luck seem to be on my side that day. We made some DIY sushi, and I'm there to TRY it while I'm making it. Besides that, I also played with nephew. It's really sweet to see him sleeping so soundly on my lap after he plays and being so energetic for the whole day.

I went shopping today and bought 3 tops in total from Mng & Espirit. I had no idea why the clothes I bought today seem to be associated with the colour RED. It's weird but anwyay i still love the tops! :P

This industry seem to be very tough & challenging i suppose. I could see that my supervisor and rest of my colleagues are working very hard and can see that they are feeling tired in preparing all the stuff for this coming event. They drank coffee to keep themselves awake. I really envy that one of them eventually work til 3am and reach the office earlier than me. Perhaps, this is what we called "life" & that's where the money actually comes from. To earn BIG money, prepare to SUFFER and endure through the tough period.

My team are very supportive and encouraging one another this few days...jiayou for them!! YUP! i'm considered very lucky for them to include me in the meeting and the event. Really appreciate that although wasn't really used to it. I was really shocked when he ask me to join for dinner with them. I was like.. mmmm. I'm scare!!! Frank were like " No need scare yea, just treat them like going out with ur friends, but these frens are of high power". Haha! Today I was like telling my supevisor " so high class man..." And she was laughing. She say i'm lucky to expose to this kind of envt.

After work, meet up with my qianling, jialing, leefoong & xinwei for dinner at cityhall today. Went to search for gris's bday pressie and due to the BIRTHDAY SECRECY ACT ( learn frm foong) ,there'll be no further elaboration. Sorry ah ling for keep ya waiting at escalator for so long...Really sorry:) A nice gathering and catch up with my friends. Time seem to pass so quickly when we are having our dinner.

Alright, gd nite & add oil!!

Today is rather relax day as all of my colleagues are busy with the preparation for event. For me, I continue to do my research on the things that my supervisor wants. However, didn't manage to get much information as everything seem to be very confidential, hence, I shall not elaborate further. Only thing i hope for is " More details on that pls!!Be it at factiva or online. " If not, I really don't know how i'm going to get the facts and information on it. I tried my luck by emailing but i doubt they will entertain me. As i remembered what DT says " TIME is MONEY".

Foong, u're damn funny. Birthday secrecy act.. haha. LAME! Which section does it belong to?? lol.

Sense of achievement again!

Everything went smoothly at work today all thank to my supervisor who is there to guide me. I manage to complete the task she wants by 7 plus. It was rather late though, but at least i manage to complete it and had a discussion with her. I felt a sense of achievement again after accomplish the task.

Probably she was right, i'm counting down to the end of attachement. LOL! It's not that the department isn't good or treat me badly, it is just that waking up early in the morning is really tiring!! I just miss my holidays whereby i get to sleep as long as I want=P

Working life is sucky and I have no idea why I feel that I don't have any "life" when work starts. At the end of the day, I just feel tired and just don't have the energy to do other things or meet up with friends etc.

Been learning and exposing to quite alot of stuff for the past 4 weeks of ITP. ADD OIL to myself !!! 5 more weeks to go.. hahah.

Tough & tiring

Earthquake from Sumatra had affected most of the places in singapore especially CBD area. It was my first time experiencing the earth quake. DBS tower was shaking. Initially, I thought it was like some washing going on outside. Announcement was made throughout the PA system, my supervisor and I were like laughing at the announcement. That mainly because we'll probably be dead by then if we had waited for you to update us. lol! Boss gave a box of dark chocolates too.

I had my first office meeting together with the boss today. The feeling is kinda weird and I made mistakes today again!!! I email boss without stating the content of what the attachement is all about. My supervisor is like " AHHH jocelyn!!! u never state the content to boss". I resend it again and this time round ended up using wrong words. So shitty=( bless me.

Struggling with my work and exposed to alot of unknown stuff. Everything seem to be very urgent today, probably coming up will be super busy as deadlines are to be met and there's an event that is coming up.

Ahh. jiayou jiayou all the way:)

Result is out today. I'm satisfied with it as I passed all!! However, my gpa drop by 0.2. sad... Anyway, it's okay as long as I don't forward any modules, that's alright with me. hee=P

Today is a rather struggling day for me. Been spending the whole day studying the financial results. It was like figures and so many unknown terms around. Obviously, my supervisors could see that i'm struggling. I didn't manage to get some of the figures even i tried trial & error so many times.

When I asked one of the supervisors how did he calculate that, I even took the wrong paper!!! Damn it....AHH.. What am i doing?? haiz.... Keep making mistakes yea... and that time he was rather fierce...lol.

However, i'm really touched when the other supervisor of mine encouraged me. she was like
"hey... it ok to make mistakes during work... Learn from your mistakes, it alright that you don't understand, just try your best to do whatever you can." I thanked her for that. I mean I am really surprised she said that to me. At times, she will ask me could i manage with it etc:)

Before going home, my dept head talked to me for awhile and he was impressed of what my supervisor had said about me.. He was like asking me how work so far and I told him Struggling bit here and there & there's so many chim terms yea!!! he was like yup, I don't expect you to know too.

Anyway, really nice of them:))

Fourth week of ITP

Everything is pretty fine, I have got used to the environment as well as the colleagues over there. I start to enjoy this job and is quite challenging too. I had lunch with my supervisors today at international plaza and they were asking me how was discussion with my lecturer etc and they had alittle gossiping. Anyway, supervisor share with us her trip to HK etc.

In the end, I told them about my lecturer expectations. haha! I'm really very happy that one of my supervisor praise me for the work that I have spend my whole weekend doing it.. it like sleeping at 2am, waking up at 6.45am for work. At least, it worth it and my effort is paid off.

Was rather a busy day today, having a discussion with supervisor on certain issues which i shall not mention over here.. Anyway, was very messy as I wrote all over the piece of paper making her so confuse. LOL!

Was given another important task today. The moment supervisor told me where this task will be presented to, I was like "HUH!!!!...." And she said u should be honour and appreciate that you got this chance... haha! True enough but it involve a great responsibility!!

alright, that all for today. Nite!

HarkCafe

Met up with jialing for dinner yesterday, after which went to Hark Cafe to support our dearest friend- Leefoong who is participating in a competition. It was my first time going to Hark Cafe. I find that it's really a nice place for relaxation after work. The ambience was great, cosy feeling and romantic. haha! Anyway, really a nice place for relaxation:)

One of Leefoong's fren sang very well!! Leefoong sang well too. Both of them got into the next round and we shall take pics on our next visit. hahah! Everything ended around 11.45pm and we were like rushing for the last train. Unfortunately, we missed our last train and we had to take a cab home.

I came to realise that time seem to be passing real fast for now. At times, I do look forward to work as the people there are really funny.. Starting to talk to them more often, but i wondered am I doing the right thing as I talked to my supervisor in a really friend kind of manner.

Anyway, hope everything will go smoothly next week! :))

have a gd weekend!
