3rd Week of ITP:
Tuesday - i got an email that my L.O will meet up with me and the rest at One Raffles Link next tuesday between 2.30 to 4pm. So, i would only be able to do one task before going there. I haven't told my buddy yet, not sure if he can cope for a short while without me there helping. But, i'm really excited about meeting the others like Qianling, Evelyn they all, those whose L.O is Lu Geok Lan or Han Lih Lih. Long time never meet up with them. the last time we all met was during the 1st day of work only.

Wednesday - i'm still quite new in the company rite so of course i'm not sure if there is a delay in some applications, whether my tasks would be affected as well. there's some delay in some things lah so i could not do one of the tasks. That tasks require me to send an email in the morning and a reminder later in the evening. I was told not to send the reminder ONLY after i've sent it. So, as told, i've sent another email stating that i would not be doing that task as there is some problems. then, one of the sender didn't read the latest email and thot tat i was going to carry on with the task. the person was like almost scolding me like that. He shld have read the latest one rite? I was in a foul mood and still am..

3rd Week of ITP:
Monday - yesterday was a tiring one for me. As usual, i did the earlier tasks at the usual pace. Between 2 to 3.30pm, i had nothing else to do coz' there's a slight problem at my buddy's side before he could instruct me to do the next task. So, while waiting for some work, i read thru' the Today's afternoon edition and did some Sudoku. Michelle's buddy thot tat i was slacking around but no, i was not slacking. Then, my buddy came with something for me to do..and it's a lot!! Coz' he told me tat task he delayed since last week, teaching me. So, i spent the time onwards doing that task until my break, at 7pm or so. In between the tat task, i had other usual tasks to do. i dunno why, my back hurts a lot. Maybe coz' i didn't sit straight the entire time but i realised it shld be due to my period. It came that night when i went to the ladies. And i was freaking COLD! I sat at a new desk and it's situated at a corner. All the air-cons were there at the corner as well! And i didn't bring along my jacket..so u can imagine how cold i was. i felt guilty tat my buddy came to start work at 9 and ended later than 9. I wonder why he came so early when he was supposed to come as usual at 1. I'm guilty coz' i always want to end work by 9. So, yesterday, i didn't get off work before 9 but later than 9 to feel less guilty.

TGIF!!!
2nd week of ITP:
Friday!! - i like Friday coz' tomolo is Saturday! Which means, i'm not working! And i dun have to wake up early!!
But i noe Friday, i will be a bit more busy with extra things to complete. yesterday, stop work at 9pm. But i was a bit guilty to leave coz' my buddy is staying until 9.30pm. I should actually end at 10pm, by right, but they never say anything leh..
Even though got a lot to do on Friday, the time actually passed by quite fast. I was doing my things and i realised the time was going to be 6.30! Around this time, i would be quite free, just waiting to do the next task at 7 and my break after completing that task.
today, i had to change seats and i hate that seat. I can't use any Microsoft office and the place is too warm, far away from the air-con. Good thing i asked my buddy to help me and he found me an empty desk, just opposite him. The person using that desk was on leave anyway, so good!
Then, we found out we will be changing desks again for next week. Must walk even further to the pantry as well as to the ladies..nvr mind, exercise more..haha..okay, that's it. i want to do my Sudoku..

2nd week of ITP:
Thursday - realise how fast the week goes by, and tomolo if Friday!! I bet it's gonna be busy for me as for tomolo. And i can't wait for the weekends!!
today, Michelle didn't go Changi Business Park so she was there at ORQ when i arrived.
And, finally my printer worked!! Call the IT ppl and they resolved for me. Michelle's too..haha..now, i dun have to bother my buddy to print for me stuffs that i should be printing myself..
I really like taking initiatives during work time. Like, once i got any emails that requires me to work on them, i would do them immediately. Actually, just so that i have more free time to myself.
Everyday, i will get Today's afternoon edition, and i would turn to the page where i could do the SUDOKO. I still cannot finish doing one. always get stuck at give up..sigh..should try harder.

2nd Week of ITP:
Wednesday - definitely, time passed by quite fast, especially when my buddy had to teach me something new today. I was taught verbally but not hands-on on account opening. It's no one's fault but i just couldn't understand some of the things he said. Last night, before i could pack things up to go home, i made a mistake on one of the things. My supervisor knew of the mistake coz' i had to send out an email and must cc: him. after that, i foolishly asked him to grade me on the log book for last week's performance. He gave me a 'C' and told me that he haven't been supervising me that much. Maybe he gave a 'C' bcoz' i didn't do well on one of the tasks. if my supervisor was to be my buddy, i'm sure he will guve me at least a 'B' coz' i'm doing quite fine based on last week. even michelle got 'C' coz' he said it's only the first week..And i made another mistake and that mistake i'm so sure my supervisor knows of..sigh*
the funny thing i realised was that, some of the tasks that 'seemed' easy, i had to carefully checked before sending out the infom coz' the info would be sent out to directors and whoever else. Then, the supposedly easy stuffs but tedious coz' i have to make sure i key in the right numbers, i spent most of it doing that.
I heard from my line manager, (not sure if true), that i might be able to clear off my 2 leave days coz' i worked during the public holidays. I even heard something like half-day or something. hopefully, good news will come..

Monday 19 February 2007

Okay, i'll try to summarise watever stuffs that had happened to me since my attachment started on 12 February 2007.
1st wk:
Monday - i met with others that are on e same co. as me like evelyn, noel, hafiz, kexin, michelle and qianling. e whole day, we spent listening to other ppl talk abt the co., abt legal & compliance blah blah blah..we initially had to sit thru' all the talking sessions but WE interns had to proceed to our specific locations. By then, it was abt 4pm..earlier that day, we had our photos taken for our id. And i hate my face! wat to do, deal wif it for the rest of the 9 weeks..
me, noel, kexin and michelle..we went to that specific place together.
At first, Michelle was told to do the hardest job of learning everything within 1 week from this intern. But turns out, it was me!

Tuesday - i was told to go to changi business park. i thot it was far from my place but u noe s'pore is small so it's not considered far! it took me abt 45 mins to reach there. Since i was supposed to report for work at 1, it was definitely a hot day. it took abt 5-10 mins to reach the building, so i had to walk under the hot sun for 5-10 mins! I met my buddy before going in. I like there at changi coz' they say the 'boss' won't be around to check up on them. This buddy of mine said that they could spent more time oo their dinner coz' e 'boss' is not around. I like it there coz' it was quiet actually. i could see airplanes passing by and is actually not noisy at all! Then, around 4pm, saw Hafiz reporting for work. i noticed he spent most of the time reading lah, while i have a lot more to do. I like going home time!! Less ppl at Expo Mrt station so i get to 'chop' seat! haha..e best thing was, from the station to my home, it only took me less than an hour! so, i considered it to be fast!

Friday - why i skip to friday? coz' i dun like the in betweens. I have to learn to do the tasks myself with less help from my buddy. I remembered smsing QL, complaining to her tat i felt like quiting. 2 times for different days that i told her that..they need not have to 'stress' at me that my buddy, who is an intern, on her LAST week there. I remembered staring at the com, couldn't think of the next step. i dunno lah, maybe it's just me..i tend to just keep quiet and try to solve it myself b4 i could get e courage to ask..my buddy of course happy lah she's leaving today. she bought muffins and gave to everyone who wants it. I chose this chocolate chip muffins and i still haven't finished it by the time i'm going home. even my bread that i bought to work. Nvr got e time to eat coz' it's either a lot to do or dunno wat to do and just stare at the monitor.

2nd week:
monday - which is today! walau, still have to go to work during e public holiday. last week, when i heard from them tat i have to come to work, i manage to act cool coz' i wanted to cry actually! when less ppl was around, i actually cried and wiped my tears b4 someone noticed. it's not a holiday for me if europe is not having a holiday. so i wonder whether i would get a holiday if it's a holiday in europe?! i'm not sure, i'll go and ask..
today didn't feel like normal days at all! Alight at Raffles Place and i dun see any single souls tat's wearing formal clothes at all! all i see is a lot of Banglas actually (i'm not joking). it felt weird to come to work actually.
right now (19:45), i'm having my break. I feel a bit guilty updating my blog. 1st wk, i dun dare to even surf the net at work. they did restrict some sites like chatrooms and hotmails, yahoo! cannot go friendster at all also..and my stomach is now grumbling..i actually heard it..haha..should go and get some snacks..see ya
