Beauty In Simplicity

Wednesday, July 30, 2008

i hate the weather cuz its giving me rashes.

and so its the final week before its back to boring NTU again ): but i'm glad i've finally completed my PA report. anyway last week was rather fulfilling i must say. it was meeting up with friends and family for some catching up, shopping, eating and bitching. and not forgetting the little 'surprise' which just made me smile the whole day (:

some of the photos from last week (the rest are prohibited for some reasons, right girl?)

another thing which puts a smile to my face (:

i thought you were childish when you kept throwing your tantrum at him
i thought you were seriously very bad influence when he started to change his attitude

and for a moment, i thought you were really trying to change for the better when he started coming home early and going to school
but i was wrong. damn i was bloody wrong

you are indeed childish, immature, and very sarcarstic too
your words and actions just proved everything.

seriously, if ever i know he is doing worse den before or that you are badmouthing me behind my back again, i swear i will stop this whole thing immediately.

mark my words little girl

and today marks the LAST DAY OF WORK!!

finally the long awaited dayy.. but why do i feel so sad. time flies really fast. 10 weeks gone in a jiffy. i can only use one word to describe my experience in UOB.. awesome!! i'll miss the walk from the control station to the office every morning, i'll miss the email-ing sessions with the other interns (fyi we sent out like 100 emails to one another everyday), i'll miss the crazieee bunch of girls from BQT, i'll miss the colleagues from sales management, i'll miss the milo from the vending machine, i'll miss having to think of what to eat for lunch everyday, i'll miss my supervisor (though shes very fierce and demanding, but i truly idolize her alott), i'll miss the brainstorming sessions with the project team, i'll miss looking forward to 6.30pm everyday, i'll miss having to surf the net secretly everyday, i'll miss everybody there so muchh..

yesterday the colleagues from sales management, jeff lilin mag winnie and alvin treated me to 'the soup restaurant'. it was really sweet of them and i enjoyed myself alott, though half of the time i was just listening to their conversation. and adults actually do gossip too. and i found out that mag was actually from st nicks too. cool.

today i had lunch with jacq penny and marilyn from BQT. it was suppose to be my treat, but when the bill came, marilyn beat me to it. so i treated them to yami yoghurt instead. and it was said to be the best day of my 10 weeks at work. there was nothing much to do so i went around giving out chocolates which i had bought for them and it was really nice receiving all their well wishes and hearing stories from their old school days.

in the evening, penny sudd called me over and to my surprise, there was a mango cake on the table. it was my farewell cake la. i love the girls so much ((:

and there was the second surprise, regina came over and handed me a present! it really shocked me cuz i didn't expect her to get a present for me. that was really really very nice of her.luckily i had a present for her too, but i must comment that her present was the most beautiful present i ever received so far. i just adore the notebooks from prints, and she actually gave me two notebooks and a folder.

and here are (some of) my colleagues who made work in UOB so much more enjoyable

jeff and regina (my supervisor!!)

its so hard to be myself when you’re around
i thought you were gone for good, but damn i was wrong
nothing can explain why i reacted that way
nobody can understand why i felt that way

there was so much more that i could have done
so much more that i could give..
but sometimes life just ain’t what i hope it will be

not a glance, not a word and not even a smile
how do you think that f**king make me feels
damn you

i’ve promised not to shed a single tear
and it bloody well stick that way.
but why do i still think of you
even if i know it makes my heart bleed
i know its impossible btw the both of us (is it?)
but still my heart misses you

i pray for a day when one day i can wake up and tell myself
you're really gone for good

TGL @ chinatown 10dollars club

met TGL at chinatown after work on tues to go to the 10dollars club. think the last time the 5 of us went ktv tgt was during vdae. and it was still as fun. and this time we tried to relieve our old days of cam whoring and i think we did a pretty good job. lol. and i kinda like going to the 10dollars club cuz they have really alott of old english songs. we sang songs from s club 7, A1, toybox... cheesy but memorable and humorous

photos!!

our infamous 'shi lian pai'

i love TGL!! and i'll miss eugene so much when hes over at shanghai ): kbox will not be as fun without him arnd. and he won't be able to spend christmas with us.. AGAIN.

i want more TGL outings!!!!

UOBintern tea session & chillout at O'bar

and yest, there was the UOB intern tea session. i was quite excited about it cuz it meant that i could leave the office 2 hours earlier. the tea session was held at the penthouse which i must must must comment that the place is BEAUTIFUL. and so it was two hours of networking with the heads from the various dept.

UOBinterns (my first group of friends during this PA)

after the tea session, janice cher aaron fiona shilai and i made our way to O'bar. the fact that the drinks were only at $3 per glass and it was ladies night, the 6 of us ended up drinking a total of about 50 glasses! i thought we drank abitt too much. shilai and aaron were practically half drunk when we left the place.

oh and back to TGL's infamous shi lian pai, it brings me back to the days when we were at genting. 1 camera, 3 neo print booths and 5 crazieeee people, this is what came out of it. sorry guys but i just have to blog it. lol

as usual our 'shi lian pai'

and here are the rest

i miss the old days so much ):

watched hancock with tian mun and leo. and yes! leo is back from perth. lol. its been a long time since we saw him. i think its time 1504 shld meet up again. maybe go tian's house play wii again like last time. i miss playing wii (: anyway the movie was okay only. there were a few funny scenes but i didn't really understand the plot. not really my kind of movie though.

and i took leave today!! it feels damn good to just slack at home in the afternoon doing nothing. watched like 5 episodes of gossip girl back to back and i must say i loved it alot, though its just all abt relationships sex and money. but still, that is what makes the show interesting (:

chace crawford (the guy sitting in the car) is soooo cute!!

its back to work again tmr. 12 more working days!! UOBinterns, we shld explore our area for more good food before PA ends. and lets have an outing SOON!
