Just another day as an intern slave
Just another day as an intern slave at DBS...work from 9am then go for lunch, after lunch, work for afew hours more, then it's home, sweet home! It's getting to be a routine...no wonder office workers seem to have no life! I'm getting bored liao...plus, I'm definitely not a morning person! I miss my vampire days!!! ^.^
There seems to be quite alot of shows to watch on weekdays starting this week. Here's my tv schedule:
8pm - 人間蒸發 on Ch55
9pm - Stairway to Cloud on Ch100
11pm - 輪舞曲 on Ch56
12am - 佛山贊師父 on Ch255
I'm gonna be busy, busy, busy watching all my dramas! Hehehe! ^_^
I was channel surfing last Mon night when I discovered this drama called Stairway to Cloud on Ch100. I gotta admit, I started watching bcos of the male lead. I thought he's kinda
, though I have no idea what's his real name. This show seems to be quite afew years back and all the actors I never see before one, except for the female lead. She's that girl from 新娘十八歲.
姐姐 commented that obviously the male lead hadn't made it, cos we don't recognise him! Meanie, isn't she? ^^;;;
Gosh!!! It's almost 11pm le! Time for my
輪舞曲! Heez...should post more another day ba!!! Take care, people! ^_^

Yawnz...another boring day at work
I'm back!!! haha! Haven't been posting since I started work, then Lyn just now said on msn my blog got spiderweb liao, so I thought I better make a post, before I'm forgotten! Hee..^.^
I have to say, I feel like free labour working at DBS lor...working hours so long pay so low nia! The ONLY gd thing is that it's near my house and casual dress code. Other than that, BAH!!! Free labour, free labour, free labour!!!
The work is manageable there, administrative stuff mainly. NO CODING!!! Wuhahahahaha!!! But it's B-O-R-I-N-G with a capital B!!! I've been looking at Excel spreadsheets since Mon, think I gonna become Excel Queen liao at the end of the 15 weeks. Sianz...stare at pc all day long, my eyesight gonna get worse lor! No 帥哥 there for me to look at also! Mostly senior citizens club there in the office...
I really dunno how I gonna survive these 15 weeks lor. Me & Chai Li are in different dept, though her desk is 2 desks across mine. But still, being the only intern in the dept feels strange. I think the whole office only we 2 interns lor...no other interns to chat with. Sianz...I need some fresh young blood!!! ^_~
Lyn and Ms Liu, make sure you entertain me well tmr hor!!! I very bored at work, need you 2 the craziness! Hee...hope Rebecca can make it tmr, she can't confirm yet, apparently, she might have to stay back after office hours! Eeeep!!! Not my style! If DBS ask me work OT, I'll call Newpaper immediately! No OT pay still ask me work extra! Slave drivers, I would call them! But luckily, I very smart girl, time's up, I vanish liao! Hehe...

Sigh...dunno if I can wake up for work tmr! So early lor!!! 8.30am!!! It's even worse than sch!!! >_< Ugh...shall have to set another alarm!

Flu from haze and back to sch for SIP briefing
Having a flu right now, thanks to the haze Indonesia is giving us! The weather was horrible as usual today. When I went out to sch at 1pm, PSI was only 75. Reached sch liao about 90, then when I was going home, it was 113!!! Damn freaky lah, how quickly the PSI is rising in those few hours!
It was back to sch today for SIP briefing. But before it began at 3pm, Ms Liu, Lyn and I went to our fave prata place opposite the sch for lunch. Quite miss the prata there...haven't had it for like 2-3 months liao I think.
Actually, I dunno why I went for the briefing today. Nothing the lecturer said was really informative anyway and my Liasion Officer (LO) was not even here today, she being in Japan right now. But it's good to meet up my buddies lah! Oh yeah, I found out that my measly pay of $440 is actually the minimum wage!!! Thanks alot huh!
We were talking about going to uni in Australia during our prata lunch and Ms Liu is also thinking of going now! Woohoo~~~got 1 more companion! So I told Ms Liu she'll be our housekeeper there, she'll cook, clean and iron for me and Lyn! Hehehe!

Uneventful days
Not been doing much these few days - shopping, watch movie, slack at home, play sims etc etc. It's the last week of freedom before SIP starts next week! And I'm like wasting it away...
Went shopping to VivoCity on Sat with Mummy. The place is huge! Its design kinda reminded me of HK's apm shopping mall! But apm is smaller lah!
Walked around the entire place until my legs pain liao. I wanted to see the new PageOne but it wasn't open yet. Sad...
Saw the new Gap store and their clothes very nice lor! Bought a blouse from Gap at only $45, much cheaper than the one I like from Zara which is selling at $80! But the Sat crowds very scary nia, I bought my blouse at around 2pm but when we went back in the evening, all stock of that blouse was sold out! Didn't know so many Gap lovers in Sg. Mummy say it's bcos the blouse was one of the cheaper items in the store compared to the other clothes. I saw this nice woolly jacket going for $119! I could get something similar at half the price in HK lor...sigh...I miss HK!!! When can I go HK again?!?!!?
But VivoCity is a new shopping centre after all, so practically every Singaporean had to go also! Damn crowded lah the place! It wasn't all ready yet, so there were dust, dust and more dust everywhere!
On another note, 姐姐 bought the new sims expansion pack Pets ytd. Haven't had a chance to play it yet though. Can't wait to let my sims own their pet dogs! But no cats pls, I don't like those feline creatures!

MP blog damn boring
Was reading Mr Wang's blog just now and came across his post on a blog that sg's MPs have started a blog to be "more hip and happening", as stated by our dear PM Lee.
So I went to the MPs' blog and see what the hype is about. Apparently, it was reported in the news and all, but i wouldn't know, considering I don't read the Straits Times except Life section.
MPs blog
Aside from the terrible design (Harry Potter party so rich, no $ to hire graphic designer izzit?), the blog entries from our MPs were terribly boring, talking about how they spent their 八月十五 and all. Seriously, as MPs, shouldn't they talk more about the issues that affect sg instead on how they spend their day? Who cares man? I mean, we are just 平名百姓 and mainly blog for our friends and relatives, so we can write whatever we want. We are not governing sg anyway, no government official would care even if we write about important issues that affect sg.
But these MPs are public figures after all and their blog is heavily publicized so I would expect them to write about more meaningful topics than mudane matters. Hello??? We are supposed to vote for them in future and trust them to govern the country??? I seriously don't think so. But on the other hand, if you don't vote for the Harry Potter party, it's no upgrade for your housing estate! That is unless you are rich enough to live in private housing and couldn't care less.

Meeting with SIP supervisor ytd afternoon
Went to meet my SIP supervisor ytd afternoon. Just as I thought, she's a Japanese lady. I certainly don't remember seeing her in the sch before, but maybe I not observant enough? Anywayz, she just briefed us on where me and Chai Li will be working and what exactly will we be doing there. Then she gave us her contact details in case there's any problem. She told us that we won't have to go back to sch for any meeting during those 4 mths! We just have to write in this online journal daily on the sch SIP site. But it seems we'll need to be familiar with Microsoft Office and Dreamweaver. Ugh...i can't really remember how to use Excel. Think I need to refresh myself before work starts on the 23.
Went to watch You, Me & Dupree after that at TM using the free movie pass. It was kinda funny at times but seriously, I'm starting to think Hollywood loves to use tasteless sexual humour jokes in this type of comedies nowadays. I mean, can't they find other ways to be funny w/o relying on these tasteless humour? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it just seems many Hollywood comedies are using this path in their comedies' plots nowadays. Movies I can remember in recent times NOT using this method is Failure to Launch and Yours, Mine & Ours. Are there any more? hmm...
姐姐 msged me after I finished the movie saying she was coming down to TM for dinner. Then I remembered it was the 12th! Her payday! Hehehe...started thinking what should I ask her to treat me to. 姐姐 wanted to eat 鼎泰豐 but I told her TM's 鼎泰豐 hires all those PRC waitresses now so why should we pay good money to have those kinda people serve us? I don't like them!!! Wish they'll all just GET OUT of sg lor...
Managed to convince 姐姐 to go Billy Bombers in the end! Cos I missed the milkshakes there...haha! ^_^ Had a very filling dinner there. Yummy yum!!! Plus their milkshakes are the best!

Call from SIP supervisor
Woke up early today at around 10.30am, probably bcos I slept earlier than usual ytd night. I guess it's lucky that I woke up early today, cos not long after I woke up, I received a call from my SIP supervisor! Her name is Nami and she told me to go down to sch for a meeting tmr afternoon. Of all the days to call, luckily she picked a day when I woke up early! Hehe...^.^
Judging by her accent, I'm guessing my supervisor is a Japanese, that and her name as well. Don't recall ever seeing a Jap teacher in IT sch leh...wonder what she's like though. I shall find out tmr ba! The gd news is that I'll be working with Chai Li! Lucky lucky! We'll be working together in DBS. At least I get to work with a friend! ^_^ Wei Siang is working somewhere in Queensway ALONE! I think that's really 可憐 lor...poor thing...gotta work by himself. Like in no man's island like that...
I went to check about our SIP on the sch SIP site. Then called Lyn and Ms Liu to inform them where they'll be working. Lyn is going to IRAS in Newton and her mortal enemy is there with her as well! Poor Lyn...gotta face that guy for another 4 mths again! I told her she 一定沒有拜神, that's why she so heng get to work with that fellow again!
Ms Liu got into the company she went for interview last Fri. She damn lucky lah, her pay is $600! Much more than my measly $440! Boo~~~Lyn and I already decide that when we go HK next year, Ms Liu shall have to treat us! Dim sum, abalone, shark fin etc etc. Wuhahahahaha!!!
Rebecca got the best deal though, she's paid $850!!! Soooooo gd lor!!! Double moi pay!!! But her work seems very chim leh...must know alot of technical stuff. I guess they pay you $850, they require you to do $850 worth of workload. And hor Rebecca, I waiting for your treat ah! Hehe...

happy birthday lyn!!!
HAPPY 22ND BIRTHDAY LYN!!!
Firstly, a happy happy birthday to Lyn! Older by 1 year already ah! So start behaving your age ah! haha! ^.^
To Jasmine: Really sorry for not coming online that day...was dead tired when I got home. ^^;;; But I'll be online tonite! So i meet ya there! Pinky swear!!!
Btw, the haze seems to be getting worse lor...psi levels reached 150 ytd!!! WTF!!! Curses on those Indonesia farmers! Make everyone sick with your pollution! Sg should sue them for causing us to fall ill! Bah! >_< I don't even feel like going out these few days...the haze is that terrible!
Was woken up today by a call from Shi Xing. He told me to come online cos Jason was looking for me to ask about coding! I was like huh? My coding isn't that great lor. That Jason is better at coding and he still wanna ask me?!?! Weird...then I checked my hp and realized Riki also called me earlier and even msg me to go online cos of that Jason! Very funny ah he, ask so many people to contact me but can't ask them about coding.
So I went online and it turned out he had some minor problem with a project he doing for his boss. It was kinda related to our major project where you view pdf files in a web browser, but now he want to view word docs instead. But he was having problems with the file extension for word docs, and asked me to research for him on this, saying he was very busy. He had already tried Response.ContentType ="Application/doc" and Response.ContentType ="Application/word" but both don't work.
In the end, after endless googling, I found it on some site and the correct one was actually Response.ContentType ="Application/msword"
Ha! Now Jason owes me a meal for this! Must record it down somewhere, later he come back from Shanghai say he forgot liao. Hehehe...^_^
I've been waiting forever for 偷偷愛者你 to be released! It's been months already, whenever are they going to show it??? They had originally said a Aug release but it's already Oct and no sign of it showing! I wanna watch!!! I wanna see how they adapted from the manga to drama and how it will turn out. I've high expectations of it, so it better not end up as mangled as that 流星花園. Which was very horrible, to say the least. They totally ruined 1 of my favourite manga!
Skip Beat 94 just came out!!! I shall go read it now! That's all for now!

sniff...sniff...
I seem to be coming down with a cold...must be all the haze Indonesia is giving us. Bah! Seriously, when will they learn to control their forests fires? It's polluting our environment and in the meantime, doctors are profitting from it cos of the increased numbers of patients due to allergies.
Been chatting all nite with Jasmine and she sent me a link to this love story written by some boliao guy.
Read this
After reading the story, I only have one advice for the guy: take up some english course pls!!! I've nothing against writing in singlish for a casual audience, but this guy's writing skills are truly terrible! If I were his ex english teacher, I would weep.
Went out to TM today to get those mini snowskin mooncakes from East Ocean for JieJie, but didn't get them in the end. Cos they were selling for $18 two wks ago but now they want $26++!!! What nerve!!! Even if you dun sell cheaper closer to the Mid-Autumn Festival, you shouldn't increase the price neither! All these evil businessmen!!! >_<
Think I should go sleep le ba...going out in the afternoon today to celebrate Ms Liu's & Lyn's brithdays...i need my beauty sleep...

New blogskin!!!
I changed my blogskin! Isn't my Strawberry Shortcake all pinky and cute?
Actually, Jasmine did all the work for me...I just choose the skin I want and she helped me to edit everything! I'm a complete novice at this blog thing. And to think I've been studying in IT sch for the past 2 years...haha! ^^;;;
A big thank you hug to Jasmine for all the help! Thanks gal!
Call me swakoo but I just realized how many gorgeous blogskins there are out there! I looked thorugh the Blythe skins but the pics were so-so only. Limited choices for Blythe skins out there, I guess. >.<
Went shopping ytd with Rebecca and Jasmine (from TP) for Ms Liu's and Lyn's birthday presents. It was truly a task which requires brainpower, stamina and strong legs! Haha! We shopped in Orchard from 2 to 8plus lor! Racked our brains trying to figure out what to get for them...then had to walk around the shopping centres to find the items. But I would say it's all worth it! We hope they'll love their presents!
To Ms Liu and Lyn: I'm not telling what we got for you guys! And neither will Rebecca say anything. You'll just have to wait til Thurs to find out the surprise! Hez...^_^
