a note on intern days..

Last 2 days of intern.. can say a little 不舍得.. but then again.. it wld mean the start of my 3 wks holiday before school start!

the past 9wks is a completely diffferent experience from last yr.. i can say it is 180 degrees difference. I think partly why i enjoyed the experience there was that i was able to learn stuff and be exposed to the industry and at the same time have the time to do my own stuff :p yup i shall be truthful.. i did watch finish some of my shows this past 9wks.. abt 20 episodes of diff shows combine? :p but definately not as many as last yr!! last yr's list was super duper long! haha..

but the thing that i enjoyed the most is the working environment, and i really wish that in the future, i wld be lucky enough to be in this kind of environment again. then i wld only dread the time which i've to go to work but not the job itself!through this 9wks i really come to realise that the working environment plays a very impt role in my enthusiasm for a job..

maybe its because the team is small, with 10 ppl.. or that everyone is very comfortable with each other and there is no 野心 among each other and thus no office politics.. or maybe its because they are all stuck together in a ulu site office together for 5 yrs and thus the gd ramport.. or maybe it's because of the lunch 'outing' everyday together.. it could be all this combined together and many other factors.. but i noe that my mentor does play a big part in making the work environment more lively, providing laughter to everyone everyday, and making work more tolerable!

i'm really grateful to everyone in the office for taking such great care of us.. giving us food at least 2 times a wk during tea break.. even treating us to seoul garden tmr for lunch! wow.. (definately diff from the 'ur giving out wedding cake liao ar' comment last yr) yup.. and to 大老板,小老板 and mentor for trying not to give us administrative work to do as they feel interns shld not be photocopying and filing stuff! they wld even say sorry to us for giving us such work and feeling guilty abt it.. where can find such gd bosses!!

too bad i've made up my mind not to have my first job in this sector unless desperate.. else i might just apply for a job here and try and enter back into this team.. haaha..

yup so what am i gg to do for my 3 wks holiday? haha i'll be touring with huifang, weichen, jiawei and lily to shanghai, shenzhen and hongkong! happy happy! first time travelling with friends! (not considering my experience in USA)
i wld be with the couple (hf & wc) for the whole trip.. jiawei wld mainly be joining us in shanghai and shenzhen and some days in hk.. meeting up with lily in hk! sydney and carol for one day in shanghai! and i get to meet charmaine and rita at least once in hk!! whee!! it wld be a memoriable holiday!! meeting so many friends out of singapore!! :D:D

haha and i've decided that when i come back after 2 wks.. i wld then blog all abt it!! in a completely new blog which i wld dedicate to my future travels!! i realised after my US trip that it is a very gd channel to remember my trips and the things i've done! brings back lots of memories upon reading the posts! :D:D haha.. (whoa.. that wld be my 4th blog.. loll.. so many)
