The Drina Series

whee~ feeling happy today! :D finally found something i wanted for very long...

went to Bras Basah to find my textbooks but just got no luck at the 2nd hand bookstore.. in the end went to Clementi Bookstore and finally NUS Coop.. Finally at Coop then manage to place an order for one book.. hope they would be able to place an order for the other book! anw.. this is not the main topic of this entry.. :p

haha... i finally manage to find my storybooks after so many years!! Drina! hee.. even though only manage to find 3 books.. but at least there is 3!!

hmm.. with the one book that i already have.. i still need to find 7 more books!! oh man.. haaha

anyone find these books familiar?? haha they are out of print already.. but most commonly found in primary and secondary school libraries.. have read them countless times and i'm still not bored of it! still remember in sec 4.. before i graduated.. i went to borrow every single book to read cos i noe it wld be very hard for me to get my hands on them again.. who cares if it is written for ages 9-12 :p:p:p luv it!!

The Drina series, a collection of books first published in England in 1957, expresses all the wistfulness and determination of a devoted balletomane as she struggles for her place at the barre and in the world of dance. From her earliest years, orphan Drina has loved movement and dance, but her grandmother-guardian has always discouraged her. When Drina enters a new school, and meets a girl named Jenny, her yearnings are more intense than ever. Jenny, who dislikes ballet, studies at the Selswick School, and only by lobbying hard does Drina, too, start lessons. By the time the story ends, readers learn the source of Drina's grandmother's hesitation, melodramatic and satisfying for all its incredibility. Drina's old-fashioned willfulness and her desire to dance will be joyfully embraced by ballet fans.

There are 11 books in total:
1. Ballet for Drina
2. Drina's Dancing Year
3. Drina Dances Alone / Drina Dances in Exile
4. Drina Dances on Stage / Drina Dances in Italy
5. Drina Dances Again
6. Drina Dances in New York
7. Drina Dances in Paris
8. Drina Dances in Madeira
9. Drina Dances in Switzerland
10. Drina Goes on Tour
11. Drina Ballerina

still remember when i was young i came across stacks and stacks of these books in bookstores.. but my mom dun want to buy for me and my sis.. wonder what happen to all these stacks of books.. hmm.. anyone so happen to have these books at home?? in some forgotten corner of the house?? hee want to consider selling to me?? :p:p:p

hope i can find the other 7 books sooooonnnn... :D

Am glad the internship is finally over! not a very beneficial 9 weeks.. but at least i noe more abt mosquitoes and a little of how things are done in a Pasir Ris-Punggol Town Council..

the last week of internship was spent writing PTS report (can be considered completed bah.. just have to run through it again to ensure the tone of the report is neutral.. that's a little hard..), helping the finance dept with some admin stuff and watching shows again.. :p

tons of shows were watched within 6 weeks.. let's see.. (for my own reference)

Movies:
- The Monster House
- Bee Movie
- Balls of Fury
- The Spiderwick Chronicles
- The Other Boleyn Girl
- The Pursuit of Happiness
- Horton Hears a Who!
- Fantasic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer
- Kung Fu Dunk

Korean Dramas:
- 署童谣
- 豪杰春香
- Surgeon Bong Dal Hee
- Billy Jean, My Love
- Let's Go To The Beach

Others:
- American Next Top Model Season 9
- One Episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

hee.. opps.. the list is quite long.. don't think i would ever be able to complete such a feat ever again..

on the last day, we bought sugar roll from Polar for everyone in the office.. even though we never even talk to more half of them before.. cos cannot only give the ppl at the finance dept (who are the ones who really treated us really good and acknowledge our existence).. wld be quite wierd to give them but not to our supervisor..

those in the office (except one person) just thank us and wish us all the best for our studies.. quite awkward cos they also dunno what to say to us and vice versa..
but our in-charge.. upon seeing the sugar roll ask us whether issit we want to make him fat.. -_-'' and when he see us gg around the office giving out the cake.. he said 'wow so fast.. now giving out wedding cake already ar..' the 3 of us could only roll our eyes lar.. lame.. lucky i'm not seeing him again and pity my fellow intern friend who receive his call yesterday.. *irritating*

anws.. glad to have Pei Yun and Xiu Ming around for the 9 weeks :D to watch dramas together, to laugh abt things together.. now we have tons of jokes that only the 3 of us understand.. haha..
also thxful to the finance dept staff :D at least they acknowledge our presence and talk to us.. hee.. it's also because of them that we got some work to do during the last few weeks of internship *not complaining!*

hope next year internship would be more fruitful and enjoyable :D
