Wow its been ages.

Anyway, just an update to say: I'M GROWING OLD :( 

I just realised that:

1. i forgot to take my Brands Berry Essence
2. which is supposed to improve my failing eye sight (apparently my failing sight is psychologically induced, so the gimmicky Brands Essence will probably cure my psychological blindness) --> being psychologically blind basically means that when i spot a hot guy and his six pack is all blurred into one pack, i'm actually causing myself to not be able to see his hotness clearly. Someone please tell my doc at the Eye Centre that that just DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. Alternatively of course, there are probably just no hot guys around and the guy i saw really did have one pack.

3. The reason why I forgot to take my Brands Berry Essence is because i also forgot to take my Ling Zhi cracked spore pills which are to aid my chronic memory loss

4. Funnily enough, since I can never remember to take my memory loss pills, i put up a note on my bathroom mirror to remind myself

5. Forgetting of course, that i am psychologically blind because i hardly ever remember to take my Brands Berry Essence, and therefore never ever see this reminder.

6. Thus never take my Ling Zhi PIlls which results in me forgetting to take my Brands Berry Essence and there we end up at step one.


haha i can't even remember what the point of the whole entry was.

 wow to think i thought no internship could trump the one i did at AL LLC, where i made friends with crazy joanne (i mean this as a compliment) and all the girls in the accounts department. 

then BAM this internship at ING comes along and just blows my brains into a million pieces


so yesterday was my last day at work, there were many moments in which we all kinda wanted to cry but no one cries at work if they can help it cos thats just stupid so yeah we held it all in. i'll miss the people in my department so much, Irene with the perfect hair, Darren the one whos full of crap, Joan whos so sweet, and my hip boss Donna, not to forget kind Royston who drove me home after the drunken golf tournament dinner (haha), plus Rommel who is one of the nicest people i've met, and Alex who drove his car into the ditch and Leon who looks way too stressed out all the time, and Alex F who sits in the fishtank and emails me throughout work so i'll keep awake, and the auntie in the pantry who stocks up on all my favourite cookies plus tons of other people at work. 

AND the other interns from EVERYWHERE. aileen and stefan from phil, nayana from india based in kuwait, peggy from taiwan.... haha funny how i've only known peggy 4 weeks but it feels like i've known her all my life. oh well. my trip to perth got thwarted cos we can't get tickets and my trip to taiwan to hang out with peggy got thwarted cos my mom's opinion > my dad's opinion. 

the rgs choir concert last night was very good! 

left me feeling really old. especially since the group of us had to explain to the girls that sian expressions are completely due to OLD AGE and LONG WORKING HOURS. :( 

anyway, it was a thoroughly entertaining 2 hours, brought back many many fond memories, and made me very happy. probably one of the highlights of my week. 

also, i'm going to miss the other interns once work ends. everyone flies back to their own countries and i am left here in singapore. sigh sigh. 

hm i think i'll either:
1. friends lock or
2. just kill this lj completely

because i think i need to grow up (i know this is ironic, given that i just said in my second statement that i'm feeling really old - but i meant this in a my-energy-level-is-low-and-i-feel-creaky kind of way). and i hate the fact that this lj pops up as the first link of google if anyone decides to search my name (which i doubt anyone does, but it still irritates me anyway.)

but well, we'll see.

Okay so this week in brief,

i started work on monday
my bunny died while i was at work 

i momentarily fell asleep at work
designed 6 banners for work
packed 3 suitcases with caps and t-shirts
forgot my hp and had to use a phone card only to discover that my phone card expired 8 months ago
bought a new phone card only to realise it too didn't work
i think that im just using the pay phone at kembangan wrongly, anyone care to teach me please

okay even though the first two days of my week sound like they've been pathetic, its not actually been that bad. unlike my other bunny, that died in my arms while we were rushing it to the vet, parsley kind of just died in her sleep, which is about one million times less traumatising for me. i hope she's in a better place. 

i've made a good friend at work, who is going to FRANCE tonight :( dang it sucks that the one friend i've made at work is taking leave for the next two weeks hahaha. 

oh well.


oh and law camp was really enjoyable. which is a serious understatement. it was unquestionably the best orientation camp i've ever been for. the seniors and my OG people are very very nice and very very amusing hahaha. :)

THANK YOU tanneh and cher for giving me the most kickass awesome 19th birthday one could ever wish for

THANKS CHER
THANKS TANNEH

okay, so i'm off to langkawi in a few hours. amazingly, my luggage is packed. 

don't expect souvenirs i guess, the only things they have there are sand, sea and errr sand flies. 


okay byebyebyebybyeybebyebyebyebyebyebye seeeeeyaaaa.

and so i'm back from Hokkaido. 

to think the trip was once 2 weeks away, and now its over. that being said, i've eaten enough crab. seafood and ramen to last me a while. also, i've seen enough naked women to convince me that the female body is grossly over rated. but enough of that.

hm photos will come soon enough i guess, my mom doesn't want to be anywhere on facebook so i probably won't post up too many photos. we'll see. 

japan was lovely, it was cold and Hokkaido is a really beautiful place. the hotels were superb and the facilities were fantastic, the hot springs were nice and the food was unbeatable. 


i never thought i'd say this, but it feels good to be back in the office. its nice to feel just a little bit missed, and its even nicer to know you're missed by people you never expected would miss you. whoa convoluted sentence. 

i got back at 11.30pm last night, and ended up yakking on the phone till round about 2am about everything/nothing in particular (its nice to know some things will never never never change). probably wasn't a wise thing to do, given that i've got a really long day today. its only 5pm and im super tired. 


its good to be back. 


i bought a stitch (as in lilo & stitch) jumpsuit outfit for my dog. he loves the set of overalls that my sis bought from from taiwan (yes denim overalls - they make the dear dog look more bow legged than he already is, and when both dogs are in their overalls it looks damn brokeback-mountain.) i hope he likes the stitch jumpsuit or i will extremely upset!!!!!!! 


i currently love milk tea ice cream. 


i think i do too much rationalising. i think about things and analyse them to death, i spend hours figuring out the multitude of ways in which something could go wrong or not work out. then i annoy myself in the process. 


my exciting plans to achieve my secret ultimate goal have been thwarted because my schedule leading up to the week after next is completely packed. i think if i don't write down appointments i am going to forget all of them and simply not turn up/turn up at the wrong time/wrong place for the wrong thing. 



wow this is a weird entry it doesn't quite sound like me, i suppose this is how my brain works - in a completely random manner. 



oh i sewed beaver a sweater in the car in hokkaido cos i was bored. it was supposed to be a hoodie but i ran out of thread and... well trying to sew a hoodie was just being kind of ambitious.  


i think the past week, more than any other time has made me realise that i don't always have the right things to say. sometimes you want to let someone know something but theres just no way to tell them - either because you're in no position to say anything, you're not even really sure what you're trying to tell them, or you know it won't really make a difference. oh well. lifes like that. 


sooooo the great singapore sale starts soon GOODIE. but then again i don't really have anything i need. hmm. ah well. 


oh i saw bears in japan. huge ones. 400kg bears. up close. super close. 

and a fox tried to jump into my car when i wound down the window to peer at it along the road. admittedly not the smartest thing to do. but the poor thing was so hungry he ran after the car quite a distance until we turned the corner and i couldn't see it anymore. :( 


oh in japan i also... experienced temperatures of up to -41 deg celcius, nearly got frostbite and thought my fingers were going to fall off cos they hurt so much. (yes facinating i know) 

i have cake in my bag that i don't feel like eating and don't feel like throwing away aaaa i don't know what to do with the cake in my bag. 


ok leaving soon zzz

    

wow i have so much to blog about when i get back


im having a ball of a time here but i think i will blog about it when i have pictures to upload

i hope everyone is doing okay 

bren i hope your driving went okay (im sure it did!)

helloooo from japan!!!
