My internship ended last Friday. Felt abit sad and couldn’t bear to leave somewhat. The fun, laughter and fond memories that we (the interns and group of colleagues) have had: the times where we lunched out together, the outings (movie, steamboat, clubbing), the post-lunch-breaks/tea-breaks/disappearances. If not for that particular group of fun-loving and amicable colleagues, I think the 5 of us would just be in our own world throughout; since our supervisors didn’t really have much for us, frankly. I probably wouldn’t mind going back there as perm, despite the ‘old-people-environment’, which I think is rather prevalent in engineering field, no? Reason being, it’s stable in terms of welfare and pay, and near my house too. Haha.
As for the previous semester results, well, I did ok – Bs. I think I’ve reached a stage where so long I do ok – just any kinds of Bs would suffice. Like I griped before, all that studying is enough, time to head out to work. Would 1 more year of studying add any value? I doubt so, in my opinion. Also, I’d rather have more internships – attached to a project, engineers etc, than doing FYP and design project. Guess the grass on the other side is always greener huh…
Last week, I did 4 straight days of Kiehls, at Raffles City, and Tangs Orchard. Though my legs were tired out, I enjoyed myself pretty much! I get more ‘high’ and energetic when more people stop to listen to what I’ve to say and fill in the forms, and kind enough to interact back with me. Ok, that’s logical enough. At Raffles, I met some familiar faces: 1 of my ex-es with her bf (felt awk and a tinge of sourness), 2 church mates, my friend’s sister, my friend’s cousin who’s the same course as me, nus girls, Li Nanxing’s ex-wife. At Tangs, it was sweet to have my colleagues and friends coming down to ‘support’ me. I also got to know some of the girls from other cosmetic counters, since it could get bored at times when there’s very few people walking past. Of course, I took some, or should I say many samples, from them. Haha.
As I’ve observed, now I know why Singapore’s serving attitude is deemed bad. Many of them serve out of duty, worse, without much smile. You can’t feel their sincerity or passion in them. However, there was one whom I thought was quite inspiring and encouraging - the senior Lancome makeup artist who has very long silky hair. Ok, but she’s not very the young. The way that she smiles and serves her customers, could tell that it’s genuine and makes them feel appreciated and comfortable. I actually took a picture with the whole group of them, but they forgot to tag me! Anyways.
I managed to get the FYP that I wanted. Thank God for that. Now I’ll pray that the prof/sup/whomever would be ultra nice to me, and that the project would be….slack enough. Oops. For now, guess it’s slacking, playing drums, chillin’ out, etc…till FYP starts.
Caught A-team the day before. It was super hilarious! LOL-ed almost throughout the whole movie. Witty yet comical dialogue. Though some parts were a tad far-fetched, good action overall. Goodness. When was the last time I had such a loongg laugh? Life can be quite stressful, so most of the time I’d prefer comedies and light-hearted kind over serious story plots. Next up, Toy Story 3 and She’s out of my league. =)
Thank God for everything, despite me being rather disobedient recently – dabbling in ‘forbidden stuff’. It’s a looong story. Anyway. God bless you. Take care.
