lets see... as i said last week,i missed going arts camp due to an extremely busy week... weekly report again!!
monday: had presentation to make for the managers as they wanted to review the internship and see how they can make it better and which areas could be improved.. so monday was spent editing the presentation and having Q & A... the results of the presentation was to announced on fri and the winning group was supposed to get 200 bucks...
tuesday: attended M9 tut from 9am to 5pm... as you can see that took up really long.. AND i had M5 test from 7-9pm... TELL ME HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO GO ARTS CAMP!!! but anw, I PASSED M5!!! whee..
wed-thurs: supposed to attend the same aforementioned tutorial.. but we found the lecturer damn boring that we eventually skipped tut after lunch on wed and headed back to office.. the managers were really nice.. they allowed us to stay in the conference room to mug.. they also told us that any questions we had, we could ask them! so cool.. so we just studied in the conference room on thurs as well!
fri: 9-1130am, the test was so freaking early at suntec somemore.. walking along citilink all the way to suntec, rushing on heels was no easy task i tell you! I WAS LATE!! so i panicked a little alr for my M9.. PLUS, i had only read like 7-8 chapters of the textbook out of 24! of cuz, i failed.. joy passed though! =) haha.. even though we studied about the same amount.. what i felt really sad about was that i missed by a few marks! 88 was passing marks and i got the range "81-87"... SIGH... depressing..i think one of the managers was damn stunned that out of 4 people who took the test, only 1 passed! haha.. just as well i guess...
went for sheraton towers buffet after that... was a treat from the managers to "have a proper and nice ending for the internship" in their words.. i think we felt like movie stars cuz they kept taking pics of us.. haha.. but was pretty fun! =)
SHOPPING was my agenda after the lunch! went to far east with jac after lunch and we both bought shoes from trendy zone! with the money we just got.. haha.. so funny! had a great time shopping with jac!! i am going to miss my fellow interns! nvm, i think we are going to meet up quite a bit still! how fun! my first k box outing is going to be with them! hoho... fun fun!
thats all... commencement is MONDAY!!! woots!

back to weekly reports.. my livejournal is severely neglected as a result of not working.. heh.. maybe i will blog there about arts camp! see how.. heh..
monday:
had a date with fellow interns to play badminton at Toa Payoh.. BUT, it turned to be a failed plan.. only me jac and twen turned up.. three not so bad right? still can play.. but jac said as a result of her trip to Malaysia the week before, she injured her back and movement is..... er... a liiiitle haaard.. twen has injured back too.. but both still wanted to play..haha..
so we happily walked towards toa payoh sports hall thinking that it was those courts that joy booked for us.. when we reached there, the people at the sports hall told us that the hall has been closed for about 3 mths for renovations and now they were getting ready for the Asian Youth Games so essentially, the hall was not open to public.. goodness.. we were then wondering whether we booked and paid for the hall but was not told that fact or did joy book somewhere else? twen called her friend to help us check the email that joy sent us.. turned out that the venue was at toa payoh central cc... started walking there.. but i guess, everyone's mood was not there cuz we were thinking about the presentation that was due wednesday and the "incontactibility" of our fellow group mates, esp me since joy hurt her knee ligament and damien was in reservist... we ended up in coffee bean instead, drinking the nice drinks. hurt my wallet though, but it was such a luxury.. haha... happiness drinking it.. and that was the end to our "sports day".. so much for exercise.. we ate macs, telling ourselves that we will work it out. heh.. oh well...
thurs:
went to collect academic gown!! and went to collect CONTACTS in the evening! YES!!!i finally got contacts after so long.. but i will only wear them occasionally la.. haha.. you all will still see me in specs for quite sometime!! =) happiness though...
collecting academic gown was interesting.. the queue was.. er... super long.. at least there was kaiwei and meiling to talk to.. can catch up at the same time! =) bombarded by pple doing surveys and others who were trying to sell all sorts of things.. e.g. plaques, credit cards( i wish i had the minimun income.. wahaha...), nuss membership, studio photos, and MEMORABALIA!!! i hope i spelt that correctly, the bear in the acad gown is damn cute!! haha.. but its ex.. like 60 bucks.. =( graduation is really coming.. only one week more of calling myself a NUS student... sigh... lets progress...
fri:
went out with funnies (minus rara) for dinner! good meeting up after so long, i think its really been nearly half a yr since we all got tgt to talk properly! ystd, i just could not stop thinking about being freshie... haha.. maybe its also cuz its the time of the yr!! ARTS CAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i miss it i tell you..
*looks like i am going to be talking about arts camp here*
ystd, we went back to NUS after dinner.. i guess (and i am just positing here, might not be a fact), we all miss the excitement of camp.. ystd was day zero, the memories of day 0.. the fluster of trying to get things organized for tmr, trying to make og identities and cheering sessions with the house ics... helped byron and lena's og make one identity.. and we had to leave.. i was just thinking that last yr, we were sitting at the forum, making identities as well.. on day zero, one always wonders how the freshies are going to be like etc.. but actually, lets get to the point.. i keep beating around the bush.. there is this sense of friendship, camaraderie, pple coming tgt again after one yr at school... back in the same place, passing tradition forwards.. pple who come back to renew the friendships that they had made one yr before.. the collective effort to try and do something, for the house for the og.. in some sense, its really true that we all meet by chance.. some pr person put our names tgt, either as freshies or as councillors.. as a freshie, you meet new freshies by chance... as councillors, you meet your freshies by chance but not so much your fellow councillors since you more or less have a choice and we usually go back to the various ogs we belonged to the previous year.. I MISS ARTS CAMP!!!! byron was still saying ystd that he rmbed us crying on the final day of arts camp.. sigh... i couldnt concentrate on my books today.. kept thinking about camp and wishing i was there instead of reading about financial planning!! hard to put in words what i feel.. i just know that every yr, arts camp is special.. o week is also special but different... <3
hope that ARTS CAMP 2009 is a BLAST!!! =)

for more info, refer to "the_purplerose" link in my bloglist or click on the title of this post... i am too lazy to reblog about my retrenchment.. haha...
some positive things:
- not having to worry about the non-work we have been doing
- starting driving lessons again (provided bbdc has space)
- able to send in my documents by scanning them
- bum around for a while
- GO SHOPPING
BUT i have less money to spend now.. haha.. not like the pay was a lot actually.. oh well...
i think the cute guy in korean f4 looks weird in the swimming scene.. he definitely needs fringe in front, if not he just looks fatter.. oh no...
had PS dinner ystd! was fun to catch up! am going to miss jasmine!! =( kinda envious, KOBE + OSAKA + KYOTO!! goodness.. haha.. fun fun..
my arms are aching from my books ystd.. not that i even carried them for a long period of time.. since zhengqi and eugene were nice enough to carry them for me and jasmine allowed me to put them in her shop while i went to walk around! imagine, my muscles actually ached from carrying them plus my laptop for quite a short distance.. proves my unfitness.. ho hum...
i am definitely going to miss my fellow interns.. and playing scrabble and bridge.. being introduced to viwawa(stop it! i know you all are now thinking that i am a noob), getting new ways of playing restaurant city, knowing that lucky plaza is the place to go to buy perfumes, using damien's kopitiam card to buy food at novena foodcourt, the fruits outing all the time after lunch, the random donut factory/old chang kee/bubble tea cravings we get.. haha.. it was fun while it lasted! <3

warning: when you next see me, it may not look like that anymore.. wahaha.. i think i am going to comb my hair somehow cuz this new hairstyle looks damn ugly with specs.. hm..
ystd night i went to fhs 10th anniversary dinner.. while dinner was not exactly fantastic, (ouch my 30 bucks...), the programme was likewise not very entertaining and the fact that we were all sweating due to the lack of aircon in the hall, it was still memorable in an altogether different way..
sitting in the school hall... watching all the different yet familiar faces walk past... one marvels over how everyone has grown and changed.. feeling our age as we were the pioneer batch.. but then again, being the pioneer batch is sth significant in itself... as the pioneer batch, in that sense we would somewhat always be remembered.. the school was brand new when we went in.. it grew tgt with us.. the sense of closeness within the batch of people... the way we would roughly know who's who.. no sense of divide between express, normal acad and normal technical.. somehow, you would more or less know people from the different classes... therein lies the knowledge that we were the pioneer batch..
some main reasons for a celebration ystd were the fact that it was the school's tenth anniversary and the opening of the indoor sports hall.. but these reasons gave the alumni reasons to go back.. i guess in that, the alumni shares a sense of unity.. when one returns, one remembers the crazy things we used to do in sec school.. of course, feeling blessed that we were the pioneers..
we were lamenting about how kfc has shifted.. kfc was really a hangout place and a place where "sightings" took place.. charlyn and i prob rmb one particular event very clearly but nah, its not going to be mentioned here.. haha.. ystd while the band was playing "dancing queen", memories of the choir in Perth came back.. and how we would sing it out loud on the bus.. (T house obviously came to mind as well).. i was sitting in my seat having this crazy thought that if the lamers were there, perhaps, we would have been singing at the top of our voices with the band and doing the terribly embarassing but fun and memorable stuff we used to do.. ROARS.. i miss being crazy.. haha..
looking at the canal, reminded me of the time in sec 2 ithink, when we spent mid-autumn festival there with sparklers etc.. other than that, i still rmb there was this luo han craze in sec 3 and sec 4 and my class would actually have outings to go fishing.. haha.. such memories are really precious! =)
sec school was really fun and fulfilling i guess.. it made me grow up slightly more.. although my sis would say that i was a frightfully annoying person back then.. hm... oh well! =)

oh my oh my.. slowly and gradually, one more chunk of the graduating puzzle was put into place ystd once i saw my results, actually before.. i opened the screen and there was some msg about graduation.. and i was like: ok, thats good! means i did well enough to grad! haha.. they wanted me to read some info page, but the link wasnt working so i didnt read it, though they kept emphasizing that it was impt.. so if anyone read that info link, pls tell me or else i duno what i am missing! =) that made me worry and slightly impatient for my results.. haha.. overall, i guessed i am pleased.. =) CAP went up which is good! but sometimes, ironies are interesting... modules that you presume you would not do well in, score better than those that you expect better grades.. then again, i think this has happened to a lot of pple.. so perhaps, i am normal! haha.. but yes, not good enough to go for second upper.. so YES I AM GRADUATING!!!
it sank in even more when i read the email that NUS libraries sent me about me no longer being a member.. SO SAD!!!!! i am going to miss the library like mad.. how now.. the feeling you get when you go to the 3rd floor and breathe in the air.. i duno.. there is sth about the library.. the books smell maybe.. the knowledge that there is so much knowledge (overuse of this word) accumulated within that space.. the cheap thrill i get when i have to hunt books down for research.. embarking on an essay topic that i know little about and gradually get to understand more through research.. my internship has made me decide tht i want a job that really interests me.. internship is really fun cuz of the company.. managers are nice too.. but just, makes me really disconnected from PS.. and the other fields that i am interested in.. so yes, i want sth that appeals!! nto just monetarily.. =) i miss reading the papers.. after i started my internship, i havent read papers properly, i think i am lagging behind in news.. i might know that there is an event, but i duno as in depth as before.. sigh.. i miss my economist subscription!!! ok.. you can see this post is damn emo.. haha!!
i must stop buying clothes.. i bought like 2 jeans today, 2 working pants, one working skirt and one working top last week and one top online this week.. needs to make more money to account for my expenditure!
reminder to self: put a wishlist in my blog! =)
thats all peeps!

to those graduating with me, lets all flood the market with our talent and land jobs asap!!! jiayou jiayou jiayou too!!
<3 everyone!

previous complaints about studying being tiring gradually fades as one continues working.. WORKING IS TIRING!!! think about it: when you are in school, if you dont feel like listening, you can just tune out. at work, if you try tuning out and miss a sentence of instruction, thats it.. that could mean something major..
at work, one's brain and mind needs to be thinking all the time, once again a reiteration of above point.. deadlines are super tight and one might not have all the resources to make it to the deadline..
i realised that i really need to draw the distinction between work and rest.. even on the train back from work,i could still be thinking about work.. like what still needs to be done.. what have we done.. how we can improve etc.. i think a workaholic tendency is getting to me.. but this is terrible.. i even dream about work.. thats like er.. freaky.. first official week of work somemore.. challenging rush hour crowd on heels is no easy feat.. but i think i am getting used to my heels or maybe my heels are getting used to me! but i am still glad to have my fellow interns, if not we will not complete as much work! =) <3 hehe... a lot more weeks of work to go, oh well... jiayou!! realised that one scolds lots of stuff, and have a higher tendency of scolding bad words once one starts working.. hm... but no, i havent said any 4 letter words yet.. heh...
just came back from evon's 21st.. super tired... it was interesting... nice catching up with random groups of people.. =) i like gatherings.. =) HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY EVON!!! the cake was really nice! hug hug! too tired to think.. think i should sleep soon.. heh.. good night peeps!
