Quick Updates

Ok, I badly need updates....

I am officially ending my internship this fri. To tell u the truth, I am tired. I started work 1 day after my speed-tuition takes a break. I long for the carefree and 'sleep late late watch tv late late' life. But I had to admit, there are some things I will miss about my internship.
  • How J will walk into the room and say "How's everything?"
  • How we rushed for presentations and brain-storming on ideas
  • How our boss WC grilled us about our presentations and recommendations and deadlines
  • How the entire floor of interns and temps got on to 1 mass chat window and start talking all sorts of stupid things till the point that the window is moving too fast to catch... (we talked about 'rubber' before)
  • How everyone ask me to shut up when I started singing Grasshopper's songs
  • How we had to wait for one another to finish their 'urgent' work before we can head for lunch.... and then had to decide to eat when we reached the first floor
  • How we headed to the Rec Club every lunch and zoomed to the table soccer table
  • How I let in a lot of own goals and trashed by Cheyenne and Vivian
  • How all sorts of interns and temps streamed into the room for food
  • How everyone goes out to seminar rooms and get the leftover buffets
  • And a lot more...
I have been extremely lucky to get this internship. It was tough, but the people there were great. It makes it so much easier, so much more fun. =)

The stupid jokes we had and the times we had been through... it's funny to think back.

I did learn stuff. Useful stuff. Thank goodness this internship is not all about "saigang". I can imagine these skills being useful to my work life.

And it's good to be working with intelligent and nice bosses who understands how we interns are totally ignorant and are tools to be polished.

And new friendships are made... hopefully it will last some time.

It's been totally awful at times but...

IT HAS BEEN GREAT TOO.

Can't wait for 3 aug for another mass gathering of us again... 13 of us again. LOL.

More exclusive updates and pictures after I ended my internship. Anyway, Ah hock is leaving tml. So here's to ah hock:

More Updates

Argh... so busy these days.

IEF on tues and wed.. and we interns are supposed to do transcripts for 2 talks. Oh well. IEF is like a forum whereby those famous and big CEOS will come and talk about how they bring their companies to glory and their success stories. So u can guess who were there talking... all the big shots. I had to do TCS and Akira and APB... that 2 days were very haphazzard. Went to office before going to Raffles Convention Centre then back to office to work on the transcripts.. But at least for 2 days I didn't spend a single cent on lunch and I got extremely good food (think about swissotel food)... one day western the other day chinese. LOL. And not to mention great cookies (but a bit not crispy enough le cos left in the air for too long) and great cold papaya sago as desserts... Haha.. Had to wear blazers and long sleeves and black heels for the event. When HT and I left the office to go city hall, I told HT that I felt like we both look like bankers or something. She felt that we looked like lawyers!! Esp when there were a lot of us interns ard!! LOL... And I tried the western carrot cake for the first time!! Yes yes so sua-ku but I thought I din miss much after trying it... I thought it was just okay. LOL.

TCS transcript gave me lotsa problems but I left them for Vivian to do le... so bad of me.

My nametag for IEF...cool huh?


Fri was eventful. Firstly, it was IE's fifth bday. The perm staff were given neon green t-shirts to wear and there was this big bday bash at the rooftop outside cali fitness... so u can imagine all the people inside there working out and looking at us curiously. I mean, a bunch of green shirts people at rooftop? That's gonna be weird for them.. There was this big buffet again with lotsa snacks like mini cheesecake, dumplings, cupcakes etc. It's no wonder why YY said that one will confirm put on weight when working there.. it's no kidding. I kept eating lah.

Then we went to the rec club to play table soccer. Haha... at least I wasn't shooting own goals anymore. C wasn't scolding me so much that day... haha. Left rec lcub at about 9.30pm. Haha... first time I stayed so late in this office. It's also YT and YY's last day so we took a lot of pictures too... stay out to almost 11 for YT. Haha.. she's coming to NUS arts so I guess if we missed each other we can jio each other for lunch in school!! Whatsmore, she's my TJC junior!!

Also there's this glitch that started from our campaign and hit YY's campaign in a worse manner than us... sighz. And we found out that "freaky" is leaving at the end of the month...

Next wk is HT's last day le... a bit sad. She's the person who kena the same amt of things as I kena... praises, scoldings, ups and downs. I think she is happy that she's leaving lah cos she doesn't have to endure my cao meng and recently ggd's singing anymore!! Haha.. and my cai yi jie/cao meng/ shuai ges/ sports/ ggd/ crazy talk anymore... don't know how much she will miss all this little antics of mine. Haha... Oh well, after this fri I am left with M to take out my anger... Haha. Will post some pictures of us when she finally send them to me...

After C, HT and Xiao Yan leaving this fri, it's going to be M. Then 2 days later it's Vivian Ian, Theo, Swee and Me... then the office will stink into deep silence cos no more of interns buzzing the place anymore... lol

All these people made great company. And it's starting to break up... sighz. It's sad when everything is going when everything is settling down. Oh well, I am still glad I met such people...
Watched transformers already. It's a great movie, no less. And the song is sung by Goo Goo Dolls!! Haha! Even better!!

And I just watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Phew!! After 2 disappointing Potter movies, this sequel really surprises me. I expected it to be cut a lot (come on, the bk is as thick as a dictionary), but the story of the movie really flows. It is nicely cut. There are some parts that I am not happy about (eg the part whereby Sirus died. The book made a bigger deal out of it and I like that... it wasn't shown in the movie) but the movie retained some parts that were nice. Eg Harry's kiss, Dumbledore's style...

Go watch it!! It's a good movie, despite there are some ppl who said it wasn't good.

And I can't wait for the seventh book... I wanted the book to come quickly but very sad cos it's the last book... conflicting feelings. Oh well, 21st july is just a week away... it will come. And I can gurantee that I shall finish the book in a couple of days!!

So many things I have to do... have to plan something for HT and C and "Xiao Yan" for their last day this fri, planning timetable (haven't even look at the timetable), and shopping!! I REALLY NEED TO BUY SOME STUFF and REALLY NEEDED SHOPPING but I am so lack of time!! Shit. And the most impt thing of all... I NEED SOME SLEEP. Sighz, when it comes to working, ur social life has to take a step back. This is depressing but I guess I better start getting used to it...
And Irene, what mods are u planning to take girl?

Cheerios. I want to sleep now.

xoxo

New Goo Goo Dolls Song

I haven't been blogging about Goo Goo Dolls a long long time, but they recently had a new song out for the movie Transformers called Before It's Too Late and it's quite good actually.. To me a typical GGD song... Here is the video.


Will blog about my week when I am free. Cheerios xoxo!!

Some Cao Meng Videos

Ah... haha. This is more for my own purpose rather than any other people. If anyone interested can watch too. LOL... I wanna keep the cao meng videos here in case I forget how to find them again..

Anyway, these are the grasshopper's clips during their singapore concert... I almost forgot abt some parts already actually... lol...

The first one - when they were joking abt one another's crazy costumes... this is really funny la...



My goodness... when they are laughing abt Cai Yi Zhi's costume and saying his wig looks like a mic, I really agreed cos that was my first thought when I saw it!!

No idea what does this video mean... lol. I mean my mum translated for me but I forget already...

This video, according to my mum, was something about Shu Zhi Wei trying to hog the limelight and so the brothers let him lo... lol.

This is the first verse of the Wang Qing Sen Ba Wu song... and the thing is, I have the ending part of the song. So I kinda have a complete song alr... haha.

All these makes me want to learn cantonese so badly.

You know what? I learnt half of the Wang Qing Sen Ba Wu's lyrics in cantonese already. It's not too bad, but I have to listen to the song quite often (a few times in a day??) and see the chinese lyrics to understand what the hell are they singing.. My pronouncation needs a little work, but I am halfway there!! So is the song Hong Chun De Wen! Now I have songs to sing during K-box le!! Haha, that is, if anyone allows me to sing such retro songs here...

Cheerios. Don't scold me for putting too much Grasshopper video. You guys can choose not to watch it. No problem.

xoxo.

Long Overdue Updates

Wah.. have been so busy in work that I cannot blog all the things I want... But suddenly I don't know what to say...

Watching live earth now (linkin park's it's the end now...) but I am so confused with the timing of the concert. Sucks la the timing. I wish the concert in different places are held one at a time. It's so confusing and for once, I can see Danny K my south african artist but now I don't think channel 5 will show him at all.. Sighz.

Now I am so glad that Cao Meng Grasshopper are not performing cos I think my heart will ache like nuts if they did perform and it's not shown here...

Work is so busy. So behind that we have to make plans of changing the time we can leave. All 3 of us are afraid that we may be ask to extend, which is not good cos I only have a week of break before school starts!! Have been working damn hard this few days to the pt that I am so tired. Overtime as and when. Supervisor demanding. But at least this internship is useful in the sense that I really learn something....

Next wk there is a forum which I have to do transcript for 2 companies big-shots speakers. Die lah... I damn scared cos I had never done transcript before. Lucky I found out that a lot of people also don't know... Haha. At least I am not the only one. But damn busy next wk la. Got to juggle 2 transcripts (which means 2 half days will be done cos the forum is 2 days), the project, fitting harry potter movie around cos yiwen a lot of days cannot meet us, planning timetable and others...

But I am partly tired cos I have been watching Wimbledon these few days to 1am like that... I am supporting Andy Roddick again, but he lost!! Argh... at least now it's World Number 1 vs World Number 2... But the females are so disappointing... all the top seeds gone!! Esp Henin, who I was rooting for and EXPECTED to be in the final... oh well. Tennis is as unpredictable as football... actually, all sports are unpredictable. That's why sports appeals me so much.

Haha... Yy at my workplace said that I am 另类 cos I like stuffs that are so different (I think that's what she thinks). I remembered Mei Xing once told me that my obsessions just keeps adding... haha. I remembered some of my obsessions...

1. Swimming - Ian Thorpe, Michael Phelps
2. Music - The Goo Goo Dolls, Grasshoppers, Danny K, Lemar
3. Figure skating - Evgeni Plushenko, Sasha Cohen
4. Football - Man U and Ronaldo!
5. Tennis - Andy Roddick
6. Movies - Orlando Bloom!! and so many others that I can't remember myself

Hahaha... it's a little scary I admit.

And so many artists are coming to Singapore for concerts for some reason!! It's scary!! My mum has hinted me a couple of times that Cai Qin and Tong An Ge are coming for concerts... I think she is kinda addicted to going concerts after I brought her to her first concert of Grasshopper. But I already told her I got no money... lol. Aaron Kwok is coming!! I know it's another retro singer again but this concert was dubbed as the 'concert of the decade' and his dancing is kinda good so I am interested in going... lol. And GWEN STEFANI!!! Her concert will be spectacular too... shit la. I wanna go one of them but don't know got the means to do so anot...

Shit la. I really don't know what to say. I better end here.

Cheerios. xoxo.

Grasshoppers

Long time never went Youtube to check videos so went today... found another couple of Grasshoppers videos..

The thing is, I can stand listening to their 2 decade old songs... but watching their mvs are a little ..... painful. I can't stand the hair, the youth on their faces, the corny-ness and the cheapo-ness of the videos. Can't imagine they used to have such videos!! Argh... but still, it can be a good laugh at time even though I should not be laughing since they are my idols... Haha..

My mum loves those old videos since she said they were much better looking when they were younger but I was a little doubtful... and the cantonese compilation that I bought actually has a dvd that shows some old videos... so can u imagine? I played that dvd for my mum's sake...

Anyway, this is lonely in cantonese... and I got that video on that dvd la...

And I thought I will never find this but it's the song on my blog!! Hong Chun De Wen...

Sorry guys but this video is absolutely meaningless... sighz. At least the song is good.

Sighz. Some things need to be changed.

Do you guys know that Aarom Kwok is coming to Singapore for a concert on 1st Sep? I just found out today thanks to another guy intern from my workplace... Haha... so many people coming for concerts these days to Singapore for some reason which was weird... and to think I am thinking of going cos I think his concert should be a good one cos of the grandness of it and of course the DANCING... LOL

And this was the video of the 4 heavenly kings singing at the HK under Chinese rule concert.. and see for urself what I meant by "Leon Lai not dancing and Aaron Kwok is dancing..."



Cheerios.

Some Pictures with my work ppl

Haiz... lazy to blog right now. Got to go to bed early for work tml. Think just leave a few pictures here..





All taken during KTV....

Library Boy's Last day...



Me and Yun Ting after a damn shagged and bushed OT-ed work day....



One of our best lunches!! Thai Food!!


Anyway, watched the special show of the HK's 10 year anniversary concert and saw the 4 heavenly kings performing together!! Haha... damn rare to see them performing together la so was quite surprised actually. Brings me the memories so hidden in my memory bank that I don't even know I had them... And the best was Aaron Kwok la. He bothered to put up a nice performance not like some ppl such as Leon Lai (the dancers were all dancing at his damn hot and fast-paced song but he barely even moved). Andy Lau was kinda comical... I started laughing when I saw him appearing on the stage. Don't ask me why... And the fireworks display was nice!! I like it!!

Also, I went to pre-order my Harry Potter book after thinking about it for so long... and ended up with a $10 english book voucher!! Woo Hoo!! Had not been reading for a lllllllllloooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg time cos I haven't got round to buying those novels that I really wanted to read. Was so tempted to buy 2 chick reads last fri at TM cos they are giving a free umbrella for every 2 books!! "Sassy Reads"... that's what Times bookstop called them. Haha.. I am a huge fan of 'sassy reads'... I love the cute comments and quirks and puns written by the authors..

By the way, there was this book called "Me and Mr Darcy" by someone named Alexander Potter or something like that and I really wanted the book... It's talking about how a woman totally changed her expectations of her partner after reading the book Pride and Prejudice... how she wanted her future husband to be so much like Mr Darcy. This book really relates to me so much that it's scary.

Ok. Little updates for now. Better head to bed. Cheerios. xoxo
