Boring ITP

I'm back at the office again. Time check: 9.21am. 3 weeks of ITP is gonna end soon and I have yest to achive anything. Are they going to pay us $400 to utilise their resources and electricity. Its nice to slack around and get paid at the same time but as rose had mentioned before, we do get sick of this kind of lifestyle. I am already sick of it. I am going to talk to the supervisor which we hardly sees if he's still not gonna give us anything to do next week. It concerns of our ITP grade.

Since the title is on ITP, I shall blog about my workplace...

Our Room

This is the room where we were allocated to. Chingling is at her work station. The table beside's hers is mine work staion..ya..so called slacking area also.

ChingLing at her work station

My Slacking Area

This is the area where I am sitting for the 4 months of ITP.. There's like lots of highly dangerous stuff below my table. I am always tripping over the wires. Ya.. This is roughly how my work place look like.

I am feeling kind of contented with my ITP life. Juz read Sukhing's blog. Her boss ask her to wash the toilet....!! Poor gal..! I feel that my Boss is hundred times better. Although he don't really talk to us much, he allows us to have our freedom of using the computer and do whatever things we like when there's no work allocated for us. He doesn't check on us unnesccarily. Haha.. We no need to help him buy lunch and kopi coz our dear secetary of the company, Lucy will do it all for him.

Lucy is a nice lasy. She's the one that talk to us the most in the company. Once in a while will give us BK coupons and newspaper to read..Hahaha..

Kathy.. Our web designer of the company..Got the housewife look.. Don't have the I-KNOW-IT-FACE-LOOK. Hahaha.. She's nice too but don't talk to her much.

Hmm.. our dear supervisor, Samuel.. We hardly see and talks to him.. so not much comments. Just hope that he will give us a good grade for our ITP.

Since we have such nice people in my company, I'll promise that I will work really hard for ITP and put in my very best to fufill the task given to us...!! Hope work will be allocated to us soon....!

Weekends

Roughly update on what I did over the weekends..

Saturday
Woke up rather "early". Slept at 2 plus and woke up at around 11 plus. Went online and saw AK. Asked him if he wana meet up with others also. He said ok and I smsed Hurong and Michelle if they could meet up. Both of them were going to have their hair cut and they could only meet up in the evening. Since already asked AK le so just meet him up.

Before meeting AK, me and Sheila went to visit grandma. It had been quite some time we had seen her. She is still as weak and she just had a fall. Hope that the maid can really take good care of her. After the visit, we made our way to Cityhall for our lunch. Both of us were meeting our friends there. Had BK for lunch. Shared a Whopper Junior meal. Here's a pic of me and Sheila inside Cityhall MRT..

Me and Sheila

Alot of people said that both of us look alike. But we both don't think so. We have got different style. Maybe our features are alike?

Met up with AK at Douby Ghuat instead of Cityhall as I had to get to Serangoon MRT to pass Mummy her keys. We took it accidentally. Gotta pass it to her if not she got no keys to get home. Me and Ak were like thinking where to go after that. Dun wana go orchard as there is alot of people.. Its a weekend somemore.. We came up with a decision of going to Compass Point since we are already at the NE line. So we just took a train to Sengkang.

Upon reaching Compass Point, we just went to shop around. Nothing nice and interesting there also. The shops are all so common. Acommpanied AK to the food court to have his lunch. He ate Fish soup with rice. After lunch, we made our way to Starbucks to slack.

What we Ordered...

AK and Me

Slack for about an hour there and we started feeling sianz. Both of us agreed that Coffee Bean is better than Starbucks. I guess that we are too used to drinking in Coffee Bean le. Decided to call up Michelle and Huarong out for dinner. Michelle couldn't make it as her mum had already prepared dinner. Huarong asked us to go her house for dinner instead. Both of us were like quite paiseh but we agreed to go in the end. Both of us felt that we shouldn't go empty handed so we bought egg tarts for her family.

Reached her house at around 6 plus. Had a great chat with Huarong, updating her about my recent happenings. We talked about club again. Well, not all things are within our control but we must have faith in our coming management committe. Hope that when they need help just asked. Don't always carry the load themselves and regret later. Kk..Enough about club le.. Had a wonderful home cooked meal by Huarong's mother. Thanks gal~ Maybe next time we can organise and take turns to go each other's house and eat...! Hehe.. Here's a pic of the 3 of us at Huarong's house..

3 of Us

Slack at her till about 8 plus before I went to meet Dear and his friends at Suntect to watch BrotherHood. Brotherhood is a nice show...! A must watch and recommanded show. Its more than brotherhood in the show. I like to watch the war scenes. Its just so interesting. The movie ended at ard ll plus. After that, we went to this cafe at Selegie to get some drinks. Drank this mango soda that taste like cough mixture. Stayed there till about 1 plus before we went home. Can afford to stayed out later as Dear's friend is driving and can send us home..=P

This mark an end to my Saurday~

Sunday..

As usual, I hate Sundays.. Woke up at around 11 plus and slack throughout the whole day. Think I took aroound 2 naps that day. Sunday just make me feel sleep and hungry all day...Hahaha..

Nothing much to blog about my sunday...

~~One Month Anniversary~~

My one month anniversary with Dear was on the 23rd July. 23rd of June was the day that we got together. A memorable FO camp for me and prep camp for him. Its kind of interesting of how we met and got together. My club sisters and yiwen, nana they all knows it the best..Hehe~
As 23rd falls on a friday and I am having my itp, we could only meet after six. Anyway, he had lessons till 5 too. So, it would be juz nice when we met. Time passes really fast on friday and 6pm came rather quickly.

Was supposed to meet him at Raffles place but he smsed telling me to meet at Somerset instead. Waited at Somserset was quite sometime before he came. Was rather surprised that he did not have his bag with him as it was a school day. He told me he didn't go to school coz he woke up late!! His lessons start at 1pm and he woke up at 2pm. That's so PIG of him. Hahaha.. Went to watch I Robot at Cine. Not a bad show... The robots are cute..Hahaha.. Went to Pastamania for dinner after the show. I ordered spicy chicken and he order beef bologense. I can't finish mine so he finished up for me. Haha..

After our dinner, we made our way to esplande, We walked there again. Poor Dear, he's having muscule ache due to running on thurs. He's training for his nafa every thurs. Hahaha.. Time for me to train for mine too.. But he still insist that he could walk loh.. On our way there @ citylink, saw Rose...~~! Its has been quite sometime since I saw her. Think she's celebrating her friend's bdate at Fullerton... So rich arr.. Hahaha.. Hope that I'm able to meet up with rose,michelle and gang one of these days.

Went Häagen-Dazs to eat Ice-Cream. Feel kind of bad to make Dear spend money again. Haha... We ordered 3 scoops of ice-creams, Macadamia, Chocolate chocolate chip and Tiramisu with almong and cookie crunch as the toppings. Gave him the prezzie while we were waitimng for the icecream. The "thing" that I always mention was a towel with his name sewed on it. He didn't have much expression when he received it.. but its ok la..maybe he dunno hw to react.. Hope that he could use the towel for his nafa training. Gave him a "Last Samuari" VCD also.. He was looking for it when we were out one day. He said that lots of shops dun sell le. Immediately, the next day I went to the CD shops in Bugis to check if there is any. Lucky for me, managed to see it at one of the shops at Parco. I bought it immediately hoping that he won't buy it before our anniversary.

After our ice cream treat, we realised that we are too late for the last train. So, we decided to sit at esplande and chat. We talked about lots of stuff...Time passes really fast when I'm with him. We talked from 12am to 2am like tat. We took a cab home and that marks the end of our one month anniversay.

Feel that I love him more and more as each day passes and I want this to continue ..Look forward to seeing him when we part each time. Guess that is what love is all about...?

Back to blog again

Its like becoming a routine for me to blog after lunch. Only 3 people are in the company now. Me, Ching Ling and Kathy. So sianz.. Written some notes on PowerX2000 jus now.

Went to Lao Pa Sa for lunch. Both of us ate stingray rice. Don't ever try the stingray rice at Lao Pa Sa. Its only avaliable during lunch . Its kind of a lunch promotion for people working there. For $3.50, u get a generous serving of stingrays(all cut into small pieces), an egg and some vegetables. But don't be cheated by the image they show on the menu. It doesn't taste as nice as what it looks. Stingrays taste nice when they are cooked with sambal chilli. The stingrays we ate just now are like stir fried with some sauce. Both of us didn't finished. We concluded that this would be our 1st and last time eating that.

After that, we made our way to Caltex to buy that honeydew drink. The guy that took our orders gave the wrong drinks to the wrong person!! We only realised it when the 2 ladies that ordered later than us was given the drinks 1st!! Thinking that they may had ordered 1st before we came, we juz continued to wait. But we realised that our orders are still nt out yet But we managed to get it in a short while. Dunno y, it again dun taste nice. The standard of the drink is like getting from bad to worst. Maybe the guy that did the drinks usually was not here today.

Reached the office at 2pm and start to slack again. The boss was not in. We finally managed to get to see another staff besides Lucy, Kathy, the boss and our supervior Samuel. He's Edwin, one of the technicians in the company. He looks friendly yet abit physco. Hahahahz.. Ching Ling also think likewise.

Boss's back already...Shall stop here...!!

Tired...

Well, I'm at the office again. Slacking coz the boss don't come that early. He normally comes at around 11 plus or after lunch. We are the earliest again...!!

Woke late today.. Only managed to wake up at 7.45am. Normally, the time I wake up is like 7.15am. Feeling real tired now... Slept at 2 yesterday coz I stayed up late to complete the "thing". Yesh!! I managed to do it...! Don't really feel that is very nice but is still acceptable. This is my 1st time doing such thing..Shall take a pic of that "thing" tonight.

Went to Lao Pa Sa for dinner with Dear yesterday. He ate chicken cultlet rice while I ate chicken cultlet. We ordered statay as well. The chicken cultlet at this store named "Golden Rooster" is soo nice...! U guys can go try it out~! Walk from Raffles Place to Esplande. Wearing heels somemore..Hahaha... Went to Roof Terrace to take a look. Nice place and can from there can have a nice view of the whole esplande. Went to the epslande library. Its an artistic library. Haha.. Dear took a book on the script of Romeo and Juilet. Their language are so beatifully written but its difficult to understand. Slack around esplande till about 8 plus before we made our way to City Hall MRT and get home. Dear wanted to send me home but know that he's tired and told him to send me till lavender can le then I shall walk back myself.

Reached home at around 9 plus and started doing the "thing" at 10. Did till 2. Shall do some touch up when I get home tonight.

Feeling real hungry now. There is only like 3 people in the office. Me, Ching Ling and Kathy. 2 1/2 hours to lunch. Can't wait for lunch time.. Hungry, Hungry, Hungry...!

Werid thing happens. Weigen added me in msn and he msg me juz now. Haven't heard from him since 2 year plus. Anyway, feel that he changed le espcially the way he talks. Maybe he is always like tat and I dunno him at all lohz. Maybe we never event clique before. Shall not talk about the past. The present and furture is more impt to me now.. Hehe..

LO Visit plus Lunch at Lao Pa Sa

Found it hard for me to get out of bed this morning coz its rainning so heavily!! Guess that manay people will agree with me too. Its such a nice weather to sleep. Slept really early last night. Think at about 10 plus. I slept fell alseep without realising it. Dear smsed twice and called once last night. Only read the msg when I woke up. SMSed him when I was on my way to work. He tot I was angry when I didn'nt reply his msg coz he replied rather late last night. I smsed him at ard 9.30pm last night but he onlyed replied at 10.45pm like that. Hahahaha. I won't get angry over such trival stuff de.. Late reply then late lohz.. As long as he replied and I know he's fine can le.

Update abit on what me and Nana did yesterday. We went PS for dinner ane we ate Long John.
Before that, we went to Spotlight to get the materials for the "thing" that I needed to make for Dear. It costs me about $2 plus. Quite a reasonable price. Thought that materials from Spotlight will be more costly then other places. I did'nt manage to get the main "thing" in PS. So, we went bugis instead. Luckily, we managed to find the "thing" at Seiyu. Wanted to make the "thing" when I get home but as I said I felt asleep.. Haha... Think I gonna make it tonight if I'm not tired. Y I don't wana mention what is the "thing" lehz..Coz scare he read my blog and will know what is it so there's no surprise le. But anyway, I dunno if he even knows I have a blog.

Today is another slacking day againg.. Dunno how long will it last. Lucy gave us the key to open the company. We arrived at around 9.15am. No one is in the company yet. Kathy reached at around 9.30pm. She asked us who opened the door for us as she quite shocked that we were already inside.

The 1st half of the day was damn relaxing. No boss and supervisor..Haha.. Our LO,Mrs Agnes Wong came to visit us. It was only a short visit. We are the last group of students on her list. She checked our log book and asked how's everything and stuff like that lohz. The whole meeting only lasted for about 15 minutes. Btw, out pay is only a phatectic among of $400. The lowest that we could every get. =(

Went to Lao Pa Sa for lunch. Realised that there are more seats and more variety of food avaliable. We managed to get a seat in a short while. Tml, we gonna have our lunch there again. Got this aim of tring every stall there. Ching Ling ate fish soup. Y I said ate and not drink coz she juz ate what's inside and didn't drink the soup. I ate chicken rice. Not really nice but it is the best among my 3 days. Better than last 3 days. The drinks are damn expensive. One can drink cost $1.60. Ching Ling bought a can of Qoo while I got myself a peach tea. Mine costs $1.50. 10 cent cheaper than hers. Went Watsons to shop after our lunch. Wana get myself some nail polish and lip gloss coz the colors are too sweet and attractive. Hehe.. Guess gotta wait till next week when I get my allowance. In the end. we bought a box of chocolate biscits and 2 packets of chocolates.

The moment we reached the office, Ching Ling opened up the biscits to eat. I was like "So fast!! We juz ate our lunch" I can't stand the temptation. I ate with her. Hahahahha... Think at the end of ITP, we are sure to gain weight. The boss and supervior are both in now but they are both busy. Feel that we are quite like useless there. Everyday juz go to the company to surf net, use msn, eat. Got his feeling that work will be allocated soon. Maybe end of this week or next week. Hope that we are able to do what they want us to do. Wana get a good grade fror ITP!!

Gonna meet Dear for dinner later. He's meeting me at Raffles Place. Hahahahaz.. So happy~~ Finally can get to meet him. Maybe can bring him over to Lao Pa Sa for dinner..

My entry for today is kind of long.. Shall stop here...=)

~~2 more hours to end of Work....!!!~~

Slacking Day...

The boss and supervior are not in again!! Hahahaz.. So its time for me to slack again.. Actually have been slacking the whole day.

As usual, we arrived on time but the company is still not opend yet. However, Kathy,one of the staff here reached earlier, so we got into the office before 9.30am. Hahaha. I wonder if the staff there always come at ard 9.30am but becoz of us they gotta come early and open the door for us. Was slacking all the way until boss appeared. We quickly close all the IE and MSN and pretend to be reading PowerX2000. From then on. we took notes for PoerX2000. Sounds like studying huhz..hahahaz..That's wat we did before we go for lunch.

Went back to the same food court as yesterday for lunch. Still as crowded as ever. Ate nasi lemak. Don't really taste nice. Maybe I'm too fussy le. Spend $4 in total today. Still left $30 for the week. $30 includes buying prezzie for Dear , my expenses for the rest of the week till sunday!! Wanted to get a new pair of heels too and I want to rebond my hair. I think the latter can still wait. Wait till I get my 2nd month ITP pay. Went back to the office feeling real sleepy. Nearly fell asleep but have to keep myself awake coz the boss is in!!

Dear smsed me. That's so nice of him..juz in time to keep me occupied before I really fall asleep. Today, he's having interview for his club main com again. Last day le I guessed coz tml need to submit the names up to SAA le. He said maybe tml meet me for dinner. So its still pending. Know that he's busy with club stuff so can't be demanding. Anyway, I dun really think that I am but time will tell.. I won't let myself become like tat also.

I feel that when 2 person are together, its not how much time they spend together that makes the relationship last but is when they get together, they treasure their time with each other. I also don't know how to explain this..Hahaha... I actually said this kind of sentimental stuff, so unlike me....!!

Counting down to 6pm, going to meet nana at PS !! So long never see her le.. Miss her~~ Guess we will be eating Long John Sliver.. Both of us are on tight budget. Got this addiction for Long John recently. Can eat Long John for like 3 times a week or more. Hahaha..

Shall stop here le..Dunno what to blog le..

ITP is So SiAnZZzz

Yes..I look forward to ITP but I don’t expect it to be that boring. I have been ‘resting’ at home for a week already. I came to office this morning expecting something to do…but no task is allocated to us yet..

Met Ching Ling at Raffles Place Control at 8.45am. Can really feel that Raffles Place is an “office area”. Here, we can really see all the OL (Office Ladies) and OG (Office Guys). Saw Dennis while waiting for her, he’a working at the OCBC building with Karen and Jia Hui. Had a short chat with him before Karen and Jia Hui came. We managed to reach the office at 9am but it Is not even opened yet. So, we juz stand outside and chit chat. Hahaha… Guess what, its only ayt 9.30am that there is someone to open up the company. Wonder is it that case for everyday,

There’s nothing allocated for us to do for the 1st half of the day. We were asked to read the PowerX2000 again!! Luckily, there’s a computer with internet access for us to use or we will be bored to death. Wonder if Julian had led this kind of lifestyle during his ITP here last semester. Shall find out more from him.

Our lunch time is supposed to be at 1 but we were let off at 1230pm. Went to one of the foodcourt at Caltex. Its VERY crowded during lunch time. Actually, everywhere is crowded during lunch time but Raffles Place area is like the extreme loh.. Realised something about eating there. There are packets of tissues laying on the tables and chairs. This is their way of booking seats in the foodcourt. Yupz.. Learnt a way to be able to get seats during lunch time. Dunno who had invented this method. Me and Ching Ling forgot for bring tissues out!! However, we managed to get 2 seats. Hehe… I ate fishball noodles but it doesn’t taste nice. Shall be my last time eating it. Me and Ching Ling bought a honeydew drink for 2 bucks. Its worth the price man~. The drink consists of pur honeydew juice, sago jelly, aloe vera and 2 balls of honeydew and watermelon. Hahaha. Shall drink it again tml. =)

Now is like 4 already.. The supervior and boss are here but still no work is allocated to us. Haiz.. We did asked him is there anything for us to do. He asked us to READ again. I slacked for almost one day le.. Is it thats what ITP is about?? Hoping to learn something.. Maybe this is juz the beginning..Hope so...

Shall stop here le..Before I got caught...=P

1st day of ITP

My 1st day of ITP was a super short one. We were asked to report at 2pm intstead of 9am as the supervisor will only be in the company in the afternoon.

Met Ching Ling at Raffles Place control at 1.30pm. We reached the company at about 1.45pm, 15 minutes earlier than the required time. The supervior and boss were not there when we reached. We were entertained by a lady named Lucy. She was the one who interviewed us that time. She showed us our work stations and told us some company rules etc.. Not long after she briefed us, the boss came. He's a canadian I guess coz he told us that Growhill is a canadian based company. He briefed us about what we will be doin for the coming 4 months. We are supposed to give feedback and create a user manual on their new CMR system. Well, those that studied ECM will know what does CRM means. Sounds interesting huhz~~ Looking forward to doing the project...!!

After the briefing done by the boss, it was the supervisor's turn. His name is Samuel. He kind of as new as us in terms of doing the project. He's working part time in the company and is a SIM or SMU student.. Forgot is which one le.. All the briefing was done within an hour. Guess what...!! The supervisor told us to go off as there's nothing for us to do anyway. Imagine coming at 2 and leaving at 3!! What's more, both of us need not report back to the company for the next 3 days. We are to report back on fri!! The boss said he would email us some documents about CRM and we are to read at home!! Hahahaz!! Guess that no one is as lucky as the both of us...=P.. Officially off for the next 3 days~~ But the boss said he gonna give us a test on friday. Test us whether we have really read up our stuff.

I am somehow thankful for the 3 days break.. Coz I am sick!! Down with flu and fever I guess. Have not taken my temperature yet. Dunno if I wan to see a doctor.. See tml how.. The weather has been really bad for the past few days. Raining, Raining, Raining. When will the sun come out?? The rain is like making me sick. Got caught in the rain while going home just now.. Hope I'll be fine~~

Dear finally smsed me back. Think he's rather sad about his interview for MC for his club. Hope he will be alright. He's worried about his club while I am too. Haiz.. But I stepping down le.. Don't have much authority to say or do anything. Juz hope that my juniors are able to learn and understand things isn't as simple as what they see.. But we can't be holding on all the time, we have our own commitments also... Whatever it is, I still hope that they would understand that we all will still be there to help them if they dun understand anything and not to take any people for granted.

Shall stop le..Getting real naggy...

Went back to school for pre ITP briefing. Finally get to see many of my school and course mates after 2 months. I got posted to Growhill International Pte Ltd. Its located at raffles place. And yes.. I didn't got into that 1st company that I was interview. I lost to that b**tch. Those that know me well enough will know who is that. Saw her yesterday. Just can't stand the sight of her. kk..shall stop talking about her. I got a parnter to work and lunch with me for the next 4 months!! Ching Ling from Nana's class. Hehe.. She had the interview together with me at Growhill.

Went out with Nana, Yuanru and Wanling after the briefing. Went Kbox at cine. Sang the usual songs.. Kinda of boring... After the ktv session, I went to meet Huarong they all at glass house Fish&Co.. They had already started when I reached.. Realised that what we ordered was not enough for everyone.. Maybe some pple ate more.. shall not mention who.. Was rather sad, disappointed and kinda piss off also.. coz got to know some pple talk behing mine back saying stuff that I didn't do.. Somemore is pple that I thought they understand me..And realised that pple's attitude can change real fast.. Shall not think about it le..

Went out with my dear juz now. Met him at orchard at ard 2. He came from school. His lessons end at 12 today so can meet me so early. Watch some ulu show at cine. The title of the show is Visitors. It was kinda of a boring show. Went Starbucks for a drink after the movie. Stayed there till about 7 plus before we made our way home. Took photos with his phone again.. Hope can get the pics asap.. Hehe..

Shall stop here le..
