Hello blog! ( I hope you're not dead, really)
It's a quiet Sunday morning now and I'm loving it. Skipping church later to prepare for the project meeting in late evening, sipping my coffee, munching on apples, crapping with the brothers on MSN and dear friends on Facebook Chat, listening to jazz and doing the project slowly at the same time.
I've forgotten when's the last time I sit down in my room and do everything in my own pace. The hectic lifestyle in this tiny red dot has made me do everything in a really fast forward mode and I'm overwhelmed with either work or people each day.
Lotsa thoughts have been wandering in my mind lately but they're to private to share here, especially that blogger doesnt allow me to lock a single entry. I'm thinking of locking the blog or shifting elsewhere with greater privacy. Lets see how.
Alright, off to enjoy my quiet morning...... or afternoon soon! (=
p.s. sometimes, I wonder what I'm doing is really worthwhile and whether I really like it. I wish I could read people's mind.

I tried to study for the whole day but failed miserably.
One whole morning and afternoon = TWO chapters of the text T__________________T
The routine kept repeating itself : study, stone, facebook + online shopping, study, stone more and facebook more. *roar*
I've lost my momentum and motivation to study, in my final year of education. Well done girl, well done.
I'm worry about not getting a job. I'm worry about not being able to find the nice house. I'm worry about the project deadlines. I'm worry about the fact that my bank account dries out too fast. I'm worry about my Tiong lecturer being too gay. I'm worry about not being able to finish the 10K run that I've just signed up. I'm worry about my abnormal sleeping pattern. I'm worry about my weird meal time. I'm worry about me being more and more lame.
Meh.
I shall go and attempt to study now. Maybe a jog later will help. I hope.

A blink of eye and my 3-month holidays had come to an end and it's already the SECOND week, week TWO, minggu keDUA, 第二个星期 of school already )= All I've been doing is watching We Got Married, some japanese drama, planning meet-ups with friends while my new roomie is mugging hard all the time in the room T_________T
I just checked my bank account and OMFG, I spent a whopping $600 in the first week of school itself *die* What happened to my spend-thrift mission!
That $600 includes a pair of new running shoes, two useless textbooks, nonsense from Ikea, bag, food and drinks, transport fees, more nonsense and some staples from NTUC and some other stuff that i dont even know what are them. Call me a finance student. Bleh.
And come Thursday, I'm gonna fork out more for a baby that I've been eyeing for quite a while. Sigh. FML.
I shall eat bread and mixed rice for the whole month. And SGD exchange rate please drop more so my mum will be happy to send me some money.

Did my course registration this morning and gosh! what a blood-boiling process was that.
Sometimes I really dont understand the NBS office. When I registered, there was practically no vacancy for all the modules that I want! This is liks so wtf, what's the point of letting us, the double-major students, to register earlier and you dont release enough slots for us? Was really frustrated with the whole process cause what could easily be done in like 5 minutes actually took me one and a half hour to do so.
Dear NBS office,
If you're reading this, please be aware that I dont have that much time to spend on things like that. The whole course registration process is so totally inefficient and you call yourself a BUSINESS SCHOOL. Pffffttt. No wonder we've been losing out to SMU.
On a different note, I think I'm turning into a workaholic. Because for the whole morning when I did my course registration, I just couldnt stop thinking of the work awaiting me in the opis. As I'm clicking impatiently, I thought of the emails that I sent out on Friday evening and whether the salespersons reply, things that I need to complete once I reach the opis, calls that I need to make, meeting that I have to arrange etc. etc. And I cant believe that instead of enjoying my very precious half day leave, I actually rushed to the office once I've got all the modules that I want. T____________T Why am I like this?
Oh and I think my colleagues secretly hate my presence in the office. I stayed back in the office for a while today trying to clear some work (no thanks to my half day leave), and one of them actually came to my table and said: WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE! GO HOME!
Hmm four more days till the end, cant wait!

One more week to my dearest mixer and oven at home (=
I've found several cake recipes online and cant wait to try them out!
Bro's birthday is coming and I think this time round, I shall try Tiramisu again. Found a relatively easy recipe and hope it wont turn out as disastrous as the last one I tried. Heh.
Hello to fattening cheese and chocolate and sour cream and whip cream! XD

Because it's a Friday night and I dont feel like sleeping so early and yet I dont have anything to say so Imma post some pictures from the internal career fair held in the second week of my internship. ( Or maybe, I'm just too high from the alcohol consumed over dinner )





















The preparation. See those stars hanging on the ceiling? Sigh we girls decided to hang them ourselves after waiting for 30 minutes because we realized that all the guys in the opis are short and cant reach too.

We gave out free popcorns! Which in the end went into our own stomachs mostly.

One side of the booth which has posters of each sub-team in my team.

The IBD Finance team who deal with the IBD bankers.

Haha MIS team that produces chim reports that I dont understand and I dont know how they came out with DUH Vinci Code.

FP&A team who doesnt know the bollywood movie representing their team till today. Only the pretty girl in the middle with big head knows that. Haha.

And finallyyyy....... Yours truly's team - Sales Finance.

The other side of the booth before the event started and the tables ended up messy.

Oh and we have this mini snooker table set that I so want to bring home.

Bankers that cant live without booze and always dreaming of vacation.

Errmmm pilot who lost his way and mistaken ORQ as Changi Airport.

I dont know why the big bosses were so happy. Probably because they havent seen stars for ages.

Meanwhile, another big boss was trying hard to sell the team to potential team member.



And finally some random pictures. See the last photo? It will always be the pain in my arse. I dont know whats wrong with the photographer but he decided that its fun to take the picture without the interns. Or maybe we interns are invisible to him. Kevin and I were both there but we got cut out! I was standing beside my boss can you spot me? T____T
Okay, I shall go and get some sleep. Goodnight!

This is probably one of the most classic emails that I have received:
So colleague P asked me to forward some query stats that I've done in the morning for him. Because I'm so used to typing formal email now, without second thought I just typed out this in the mail that I forward to him:
FYI.
Regards,
YuWen
And this is his reply:
Thanks! Dont need to be so polite lah! (=
I had a very hard time to stop myself from bursting out loud laughter when I saw that and hence I ended up with some very constipated face expression that worried the pregnant lady sitting next to me as she thought that I'm too stressed over the sudden increase of queries due to half year end period -_-
Sigh these people are gonna make me miss them banyak banyak after I end my internship next Friday.

Unfortunate Drama Episode 198257201:

So today is the Interns Community Project Day and all of us brought some kids to Sentosa Underwater World and watched PINK DOLPHINS! Yes! Sentosa has pink dolphins and I didnt know that all the while.
Quote from colleague H: "You dont know that!!! Are you Singaporean?"
Me: "No. Im not. Seriously."
Her expression was priceless after hearing that though. Sometimes its really funny how people just assume that i'm local and even automatically label me as ACS kid when they meet me. Tsk. I'm from Taylor's College a.k.a Kolej Penjahit which is much more prestigious okayyyyyyy.
Okay so I decided to wear this pair of ballet flats that I havent worn for months for the event. Everything was fine until....... after lunch when I brought some kids to the washroom. On the way to the toilet, I suddenly felt that my right foot was lighter. Guess what? The sole dropped off from the shoe T_______________T And so I have to limped of to the souvenir shop to buy a pair of fugly lime green flip flops. Sigh. Thank god the Boss wasnt there to be amused by me again.
And after the event ended, I went to Richard's house at Kembangan to finish up our presentation on coming Friday. Everything was smooth. I didnt break the mugs at his house, nor did I destroy his laptop. I just hopped onto the train heading to Pasir Ris instead of Joo Koon when it was time to be home.
SIGH SIGH SIGH.
I think something's wrong with the feng shui of my room or my office! Lame things like these just keep happening to me. Tsk. Anyone cares to recommend some feng shui master to me?
Us! The sad people who went back to office to work after a day at Sentosa T___T

The weather is HOT.
The weather is HOT HOT.
The weather is HOT HOT HOT.
Yeah and I hope you guys get the point - the weather is so effing hot that I just wanna hide in my fridge.
Now, I'm glad that I spend at least 10 hours in the opis, though the air cond sometimes makes me feel like I'm working in North Pole.
p.s. and my firefox sucks. it doesnt allow me to add a post and i have to use safari instead. imma uninstall my firefox cause its getting crappy and go try out the new safari if you havent got to do so! its amazing! (=

Being an intern means:
You always get FREE lunch when there're things like team lunch or you dont have to pay for your coffee/bubble milk tea during tea time.
Why? Because, usually, interns earn like peanuts.
So today, to welcome a new permanent staff to my team, we have welcome lunch at this nice (and yummy) chinese restaurant at Telol Ayer street. And again, my team members insist that I dont have to pay because I AM AN INTERN and the newjoiner have to pay for my share instead XD Haha and after lunch when the newjoiner and I went to buy bubble tea, he insisted on paying for me again.
Despite the benefit of getting free lunch/tea/coffee/bubble milk tea/dessert, I actually feel quite bad everytime my team members insist on paying for me, especially when they say this: "Aiyah never mind lah! I know interns dont get paid much! You dont need to pay lah! " Yeah so after like 6 weeks of working at the BANK, there're still times like that: "Aiyah never mind I treat you, as a welcome treat!"
I hope they never find out how much I am paid. Not that I'm boosting about my pay, but I just need to lighten my guilts here by making some confession. Heh.
Honestly, I was expecting a very tense and cold environment before I started my internship and thought that I'd be working with a bunch of stern and demanding people. But thank god it didnt turn out the way at all!
My team members are actually a great bunch of caring people to work with. Despite the office being quiet at times cause everyone is swamped with never ending workload, people in the BANK are generally helpful and friendly and open. There are not many places that let you arrange informal meetings with directors/managing directors and talk about anything you want afterall. I love the fact that I dont have to do any sai kang like photocopying stuff/data entry/buy coffee as compared to my other friends who are doing internship at other places. Instead, I'm given the chance to do the daily works and gain greater exposure to the operations of the BANK.
I love my cute team members who are always asking whether they're giving me too much work to do everytime they ask for my help. Haha sometimes they treat me so well that I feel so protected. Typical conversation like this always happen when they assign me stuff to do: Hey are you free now? Could you help me to do blah blah blah blah blah... Oh wait, am I giving you too many things to do? Aiyah I think you do X can already lah, I can deal with A,B,C,D and E myself.
(= And I have to assure them that I'm more than willing to help for millions time before they handover the work to me. Oh and there're H and P who constantly chase me home! Haha normally at around 6.30, P will bchat (the Bank's version of msn) me and ask: not goin home yet? If I'm still in the office like 15 or 20 minutes later, he will tell me this: Things that you're doing not not very very urgent, just go home first, they could be done tomorrow.
Haha and the classic is here, if I am still around at 7 to 7.30, H will just directly bchat me this: GO HOME!!!! Haha yes she's so cute that she actully bold the words and add lotsa !!!!!!! to emphasize that she wants me to get out from the office. Oh not forgetting the Boss who will drop by my desk occasionally when he's not bugged down by the calls from London and NY and hints that I should go home unless I really like staying in the office, or chases me out to have lunch if I still havent gone for it by 12.30.
As much as I cant wait for the internship to end, I actually feel quite sad to leave this bunch of nice people. I realise that I havent written much about my work, will probably post more if I get the time to do soon.
This is probably the longest post that I've written since I started to blog again. Pardon for this sudden verbal diarrhea. If you're still reading, I must say that you're really my number one fan! (= Love you!
Till then see ya!

Hi all! Call me Queen A!
A for ACCIDENTS.
Yes and so exactly three weeks after my drama of slipping at the NIE slope, the drama repeated itself again on that rainy Thursday morning.
And this time, being the champion I always am, I fell down not once, but twice. Yeah merely three seconds after I stood up again, I slipped again. The scrape is more serious this time and both my legs are fuglyyyyyy now.
Gahhhhhhhhhhhhh )=
And without fail, I managed to amuse my boss again. I think if there's an entertainment element in my appraisal, I'd have max that. Because just the day before, I spilled kway chap on my shoes and skirt during lunch and that brightens up my boss's dull working life.
Oh well, on a brighter side, at least I'm always wearing black skirt when something happens! Yeah so that helps to cover up a wee bit and I'm happy enough wtf.
Sigh. I seriously dont know why am i so accident prone. Someone save me please.
Where's my superman? XD

3 weeks of work, in point form and in no particular order:
- Waking up without an alarm is a bliss.
- Friday is Mango Sago day and the day I wish to fly back to KL for a meal at TGIF.
- The chair that I stick my butt on for at least 10 hours a day cost at least SGD$1600 apparently. I have expensive butt *beams proudly*.
- Work life balance is a total bullshit.
- My waistline is expanding as I practically sit for the whole day and the only time I move is when I go out for lunch or go to the pantry to get my mochaccino/choco latte.
- Sitting beside a pregnant lady doesnt help at all as she's constantly sharing her unlimited supply of snacks with you.
- My boss actually photocopies stuff for me, instead of him making me to do all these things. I hope I dont get fired because of this.
- It feels great to call your director 'Steve', instead of 'Sir' of 'Mr. Blablabla'.
- I love the open culture.
- Surprisingly, I'm enjoying what I'm doing except the long hours T_____T
- Walking in heels kills.
- I slipped and scraped my knee. Damn the NIE slope.
- I think I should pick up Japanese. My Indian colleague amaze me by his extremely fluent Japanese when he saved me from a struggling call with a Japanese trader from Tokyo.
- I work with people from at least seven different contries.
- My big boss's writing is nothing better than a six-year-old's. So do I.
- According to other interns, my boss is quite cute.
- I wake up automatically at 6.40am on a SUNDAY.
- I swear that I'm gonna stay somewhere near my future work place when I graduate.
- My sad life depends on US and UK public holidays.
- My hypothesis about Singaporean guys are generally short is true.
- I wonder how much my boss earns.
- I hate Jurong East station.
- I made Angela's dog vomit.
- And I wonder when's the next time I post another update here.

Hello from a free soul! (=
Alright, I'm done with exams like almost 2 weeks ago which explains why the blog is abandoned. Haha XD
When I reached home 2 weeks ago, I decided that I should be healthy and was determine to sleep latest by 12am in order to adjust my screwed biological clock. Okay, maybe I'm not that health conscious neways, my main motive is to prepare myself for my 8 weeks intern starting next month cause I'll need to wake up latest by 6.30AM to get into the office before 9am. (Sigh. Life is sad without a car.)
Neways, what I've been doing now is: I go to bad latest by 2am and wake up at 10 am or 11 am T___________T I dont know why but it seems like I have problem with going to bed early. It's either I'm caught up with yum cha session or I just have lotsa nonsense to do. How lah? I REALLY DONT WANT TO BE LATE FOR WORK!
Okay, at least I still have one and a half week. 11pm 11pm 11pm 11pm 11pm! I shall sleep early tonight and wake up early tomorrow to jog or swim!
Oh wait, Mynn just called me for Murni tonight. Maybe I shall start the healthy plan tomorrow then.
XD
Happy holidays to everyone who's done with exams!

Haha I think I understand why Singaporeans love to complain so much.
I lodged the complain through student link last night but there was no response from the hall office. So when I saw the hall office lady 30 minutes ago when she came to inform my dear neighbour (who's been shopping online alot *ahem*) that she has a parcel, I stopped the auntie and complained about my agony of having a fan that's not moving.
And tada! She's efficient enough to bring the workman to my room 20 minutes later, giving me the priority before other residents that lodged the complains before me. Haha hypothesis tested, complain does work! XD
Damn imma turn into a complain queen here. No good.
*********************************************************************************************************
As if my life now is not miserable enough, my fan decided to fail on me last night.
Was nearly falling asleep last night when the freaking fan decided that it's fun to STOP MOVING.
Thank god I still have air cond. But I cant on it 24/7 and the hall office is soooo sloooowwwwww in sending people to repair it! *roar*
yw: ey shit my fan's not working how to study like that !$#&$!**@%@$
M : God's sending sign to tell you to move your ass to library instead of slacking in the room
pfffffftttttttttttt.

Was on the way back to hall when I heard this song by The All-American Rejects in the car:
Straitjacket Feeling
Back me down from backing up
Hold your breath now it's stacking up
Etched with marks, but I can deal
And you're the problem and you can't feel
Try this on, straightjacket feeling
so maybe I won't be alone
Take back now, my life you're stealing
Yesterday was hell
But Today I'm fine without you
Runaway this time without you
And all I ever thought you would be,
That face is tearing holes in me again
Trust you is just one defense
Off a list of others, you don't make sense
Beg me time and time again
to take you back now, but you can't win
Take back now, my life you're stealing
Yesterday was hell
But Today I'm fine without you
Runaway this time without you
And all I ever thought you would be
That face is tearing holes in me,
but today I'm fine without you
Runaway this time without you
And all the things you put me through
I'm holding on by letting go of you
And when that memory slips away
There will be a better view from here
And only lonesome you remains
and just the thought of you I fear
grip falls away
Yesterday was hell
But Today I'm fine without you
Runaway this time without you
And all I ever thought you would be
That face is tearing holes in me,
but today I'm fine without you
Runaway this time without you
And all the things you put me through
I'm holding on by letting go of you
I love the lyric as it depicts what I'm feeling right now. And ironically, the song ended just on the second the car stopped in front of my block.
Hey, welcome back to the asylum.

In Year 1 Sem 1, Goo Goo Dolls walked me through the stressful exam period; with The Calling and angry Nirvana occasionally.
In Year 1 Sem 2, I studied with Michael Buble's emo songs and switched to Timbaland and Mika when I decided that I should be happy.
Then in Year 2 Sem 1, Switchfoot and Dishwalla were on repeat mode in my iTunes and also Muse when my friend sent it to me towards the end of mugging period.
And now, JASON MRAZ is the only one with me when I try to understand the contradicting FRS or when I attempt to recall what does significant level mean. Haha in fact I've been listening to Jason Mraz for the whole semester eversince I booked the ticket for his concert.
Hmmm I wonder what kinda music will pull me through my final year of uni though. Sarah suggested some Chopin or Tchaikovsky but I guess I'll most probably doze off listening to them. Maybe Phantom of the Opera hurh? XD
Let me know if you have some nice songs that could pull one through the suffocating exam period (=

*&#%^*!&#$ is:

Thank you friend. Thank you. Please remember to take a picture of Barclays when you're in London.
- The email that your research project supervisor sent to you two weeks ago went into your junk folder and you never realize it till she sent you another email marked with HIGH IMPORTANCE asking why you never reply to it.
- You have a project meeting at 8.30AM on a Saturday in school.
- You missed two buses when you're on your way to the bus stop.
- You went out and had a nice hair cut and dinner, had your mood lifted up and got into a cab which the driver probably bribe to get his license.
- You wanna puke but cant.
- The football team that you support loyally all the while shamefully lost 2 games consecutively and risk losing the title of the league.

I'm in love..... with this rice cooker! (=It's probably one of the coolest rice cooker on earth. It has ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE control and with it, I can cook all sorts of of rice no matter it's white rice, sushi rice, brown rice, mixed rice or glutinous rice! and it also has functions to cook congee, soup, casserole, steam and most important it can BAKEEEEEEEE CAKEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Okay, only problem is, I only know how to bake XD. And i probably dont know how to use other functions like cooking soup and stuffs like that. But never mind, I'm sure my neighbour, WenNi who's been feeding me with Bah Kut Teh and desserts will figure out a way to use it (=
I hope my mum doesnt kill me when I call her later and tell her the price of it. Or someone nice would want to get it for me as my birthday present? *Hint Hint* I can bake for you! It's only $169 and look at what kinda magic I can do with it wei!!!!!! (=
Alright, I think I should stop here. Before someone thinks that this blog belongs to some auntie =P Damn, I think even Karen Cheng doesnt brag about how good her rice cooker is in her blog. Why am i so auntie? Sigh. See this is what Singapore do to me mummy.

I need..... to be reminded of how it feels to wake up in the morning and has got nothing scheduled for the day. No project meetings, no deadlines to meet, no meeting with professors, no irritating CCAs, no obligation to pretend that I'm happy with everyone.
I miss those days spent shopping around Bangsar with the girls and the high teas, those days we fight with the boys at foosball table and shouting for Man Utd at the mamaks, those days we wake up extremely early in the mornings despite sleeping in late because of the parties the night before just to satisfy our cravings for dim sum and the random roadtrips that we make to Malacca or Penang (=
Oh and the smell of banana chocolate chip muffins from the oven, pressing the digestive cookies into crumbs and beating the cream chees until fluffy. Damn, I NEED TO BAKE.
Just one month. One more month till I'm done with all the shits here and go home (=
And on a happier note, my Korean roomie cooked kimchi fried rice and some Korean roll egg last night! The fried rice is yummy (yes, i love kimchi =D) and I forgot to take a picture of it cause I was too hungry and I couldnt resist the smell of KIMCHI! Hmmm I shall just get the recipe to make kimchi from her I think. Heh.
