D minus 8

hi blog

D minus 8. G minus 16.

Nothing much to do now during work. Testings are done, saikangs are done... New interns are here. Another language barrier. Not because of mandarin this time, but english. They do not speak mandarin because they're not Chinese :/. I'm not really good at listening, and not used to explaining things in english now... cos I was explaining and talking to people in mandarin for the past few months. Hope they understand what to do before I leave.

Oh and CNY came and go. 2 Days of CNY is more than enough for a family this small. Haha.

Applying for NUS and NTU. Computer Engineering as my first choice, best of luck. Prefer NUS really, but I'm desperate for any university though. Now starts the agonising wait...

Taking it easy everyday, trying not to think too much about things. Like a robot or something :/. Living by my principles daily as a "working" class is easy man. Just mind my own business and walk.

Anyway, 10 more days till the end of internship. 16 more days till Genting trip with my good friends :).

hi blog

Movies I've watched recently:

The Departed
Forrest Gump
Fight Club
The Social Network

Why do I always watch GOOD movies at home rather than in the cinema? I've been visually fed with shit movies everytime I visit the cinema, shit!

Hate it when people dont appreciate good movies and say that its boring

Are we there yet?

hi blog

Busy since the start of IAP. Traveling for 2 hours everyday to and fro from work is taking a toll on my health. Feels like a robot every morning. In fact, after working 12 days straight (OT on sat & sun) I'm having time lapse. I lost my sense of time/days for a while. Wake up thinking its still Friday when its Sunday. Ugh.

Undeniable Fact: Foreigners (take a guess) are going to take over the workforce soon.

Supporting Fact for the "Undeniable Fact": I board the bus with Chinese Nationals back to Harbourfront. Bus stops at PSA and loaded a bunch of Indian Nationals. Shared the MRT with a mixture of Chinese & indian nationals. I was sitting down, I closed my eyes and rested for a few MRT stops. I opened my eyes and I saw the whole carriage was filled with foreigners. I was the ONLY Singaporean... I'm scared... :'(

I'm going to enlist next year. So I thought... Who am I defending? :(

So yes, Christmas. I don't really like going out on Christmas, but I did anyway :/. I prefer throwing my body onto a bed, lie down and recollect my memories of the year that would be ending very soon. We're growing to be too busy to do such things anymore.

Work makes me feel old. A slave for money.

hi blog

First day of attachment was nothing good. Although I only spent my time there from 9.30am to 12.30pm, I'm already demoralised. Like a little sheep, disorientation and lost in the sea of translation. I can't understand most of what they say.

Yes, they all speak Mandarin (I speak Manglish: Mandarin+English). Sat in a meeting and I couldn't catch anything. Computer language + Mandarin = A very Confused Wei Kang. Nonetheless, I hope I can cope with all this xenophobia going on inside me. I worry about if I can reply to what they say properly. I tend to say stupid things sometimes when I'm not familiar with the person.

I don't think I can communicate well with them... Don't know whats gonna happen tomorrow during lunchtime :/.

Anyway, the highlight for today was not work but my CMPB checkup with my FRIENDS. DUDE IT WAS SUCH A RELIEF TO SEE MY FRIENDS. Finally the sheep was back with the herd. So elated to see them, really. Wow, I can't believe I miss my friends so quickly... :(. Working sucks.

Ok anyway, back to CMPB. Tests went well, PES A I hope. Very surprised at the Blood testing phase. The medic was talking to me a lot, joked (but not easy jokes, quite scary).

Medic - "Hey you know i dont like meridian JC people"
Me - "Okay..."
Medic - "Where you from? Meridian JC?" (holding up needle)
Me - "Nooo... thats not a very good question"
Medic - "Ya good, MJ people are ******"
Me - "Okay, thats not very encouraging... I'm from NYP."

LOL. Then I was staring at the needle while it went into my skin. It was quite a sharp pain, but painful enough to make me jump. But I flinched because it was quite disgusting, so very weird. I was making an "Ughhhh" sound when the blood came out. Medic asked "Got so pain meh", and I replied "No la, damn weird sia... like weird...".

Then JAP BUFFET @ 313. Omg the Shabu Shabu was GREAT. Dude. Great good, great place, great FRIENDS = AWESOME! We feasted, joked, laughed a hell lot. Friends are really important man...

3 Hours of work made me miss my friends so much. So much. I miss everyone now. Guess I shall stop here, if not I'll start to sound like a little girl.

The Front Porch

hi blog

I've been watching How I Met Your Mother since 8pm! Theres some very heartwarming parts which I really like a lot.

Anyway, internship's gonna start tomorrow. Feeling very anxious as to what I'm gonna do. Will I screw up? Hope not. Working environment has always been a step out of my comfort zone. I've no work experience, living off my parents since 16 October 1991. Lets see how it goes tomorrow :D.
