This week was really a difficult week for me. Tired and exhausted. There isnt much stuff to do at work cos my fren did most of the work. She's capable and compared to her, I'm outshone. That's a terrible feeling. Din wan to acknowledge tis fact. But I really had to face the reality. I know i need lots of improvement on my side but tt comes wif time. I dun usually adapt to changes fast. What should i do? Sigh...


Future is so far for me. People always say u wun noe what will happen unless u try. But I'm scared. I dun wan any changes and I jus hope things will turn out to be what I want.

I'm now in the office slacking bcos my PA mate and I have nth much to do. Was so bored. i noe it's nt very nice to slack bcos we r doing our PA. But there's nth to do over here. my training executive was sick so she went home early. But she left us some stuff to do.

Yest was pretty ok as it was my first day at work. My feet hurts and my wound is always in prickling pain. Sucks! Was very excited abt my first day at work so I woke up early to do my make up and do the necessary stuff. Even reached the control station 20 min earlier to meet my PA mate. Had a brief introduction by the training executive shortly after we reached. She's very small build and looks really young. Guess wat. She's 27 already. haha. Went to walk ard the hotel after being assigned and brief abt our job scope. The hotel was so big and spacious. But i must say it is also very complicated and one may get lost if he or she walks ard the hotel w/o any guidance. Still cant rmb the places tt i've gone but nvm. I will learn them in my next 7 weeks in Meritus Mandarin. Had free lunch at the hotel. So happy. Can save money le:) After lunch, my PA mate n I were pretty sleepy but managed to do some work. keke. We helped to bind training materials and do some mundane tasks. So funny. Feel so useless nt knowing how to use the binding machine. Din really do a great job. Anw, it's jus a mundane work. Really hope it wun be my job scope for the next few weeks. Back to slacking:x

Tmr will be my first day at work. I cant help but feel anxious and excited. Anxious bcos I dunno who I'll meet and what kind of environment I'll work in. I'm also afraid tt i couldnt handle interpersonal relationship well as I'm quite an introvet and I dun really know how to express myself well. Feel scared... Nonetheless, I feel excited bcos i'm gg to start my attachment tmr. It will be the best experience for me to understand how the real working environment will be. Also, i'm sure tis experience will make me understand and realise if the hotel line is suitable for me. I had wanted to work in the hotel industry bcos I tink it is an interesting exposure to meet ppl of different kinds and understand their culture.

It was hectic week as I prepared for my PA. I tink to get formal clothes and at the same time, trying to enjoy myself - meeting frens and resting. I guess the next 8 weeks or not I will be very busy wif work and project stuff. Need to do fyp during my attachment. My fyp tutor had wanted us to collect data fr our PA companies for pilot testing in order to improve on our questionnaire. Still dunno how to get the questionnaire done as I need to develop good relationship with the ppl there b4 I can approach them for help. Jus as wat my tutor had said, we have to be realistic, doing questionnaire would seem like an extra burden to them and unless, they know us, they will not help us to do. So i hope i can do my job well and interact well with my colleagues too. Jiayou!

Today I rest the whole day. Woke up at 12 noon la. tt's the longest sleep I had taken since I finished my exams. I went to do my PA preparation b4 watching Kiss 2. After tt, I went to nap. dunno y my left eyelid kept twitching. Very scared tt sth bad will happen. I hope it's not my results. Sigh. I know it's over and I cant do anything abt it but to hope for the power of bell curve.

Back to do my project and watching kiss 2 le:)

it was a busy week for me. I've been busy playing and enjoying myself!!! it's really a wk of shopping spree and i'm very very broke now. haha. I was out on mon to shop wif my bestie. Ya. I must agree wif her tt it's really an enjoyable and pleasant shopping trip. Enjoyed very much:) On tues, i went shopping wif my HR frens. 6 of us went to shop. tt's really a big grp. Ended up waiting for each other most of the time. Din managed to get anything despite shopping for the whole day. But my frens bought a lot. I guess I really had high expectation and low shopping luck. Wednesday was a day of unluckiness. Sigh... there goes my story...

Woke up super early to meet my JC frens to go to pulau ubin to cycle. Slept late the nite b4... So i'm really tired. I was telling myself nt to be too early or be punctual as there's bound to be someone who will be late. So i took my own sweet time to walk to the mrt station and take the train tinking tt I wld be late. Nonetheless, i'm still reach on time. Diao... my fren reached 1 hr later making the 5of us wait for him. N he dun even feel guilty at all. Made me super furious. Cant really stand him!!! It took me some time to get over it. I was very anxious as I had heard fr my frens tt the terrain at ubin was very steep and dangerous. But i told myself to conquer my fear. I need to try sth new. Reached ubin at 1 plus and we were super hungry. After having our scrumptious lunch, we went to rent bike to cycle ard ubin. i tried to cycle for a few rounds for warm-up to get myself ready for the scene seeing ard ubin. was so ps cos all my other frens were good cyclist. I'm a lousy cyclist!!! had only learnt to cycle only 1 yr ago n i'm here to challenge the rocky terrain. wo zhen de bu pa si... we started our mission as soon as i had got use to riding my bike. it was only a few metres away fr our starting point, i fell and got myself badly injured. I gt thrown out fr my bike after applying a sudden brake when i was cycling down the slope. tt was a serious fall. i was so afraid and traumatised. din expect tt to happen so fast. I lost control... i tot my arm would be dislocated as the bike fall onto me. my frens was horrified by tis scene. they quickly came to my rescue. luckily one of my fren brought first aid stuff... so he quickly wash my wound and covered it up wif the cotton. wow. tt's was really close. i couldnt imagine myself having a dislocated arm and getting myself half alive. haha. we continued cycling after tis accident. din wan to cycle anymore but i guess it's really very shao xing to them who had came all the way there for the beautiful scenary of the nature. ya. i tried to cycle for those flat routes and walk on those steep and dangerous routes. along the way, the mosquitoes came and suck our juicy blood. to them, we r really their buffet. scary little "vampires" i lost count of the no of bites but i know it could easily reach 20 for each of us. haha. although i gt myself injured, i enjoyed the scenes over there. I must agree wif my fren it's really "No risk, no gain" We headed back to singapore after a tiring day at ubin. i could feel the pain as soon as i reached home. my left side of my body was really jialat. almost couldnt slp tt nite.

still, i met out wif dear on thurs. miss him a lot after 12 days. absence do make our hearts grew fonder. haha. ate at seoul garden. it was a sweet day. din buy anything... Pressing for time. i'm gg for attachment next wk yet i couldnt get my eyes set on those formal clothes. i really have high expectations. it's bad but good at times. i hate myself being a perfectionist when i had really little time. Cos i will be choosing n choosing until i get the best. diao...

anw, fri was ok. went for a haircut wif my mum. aiyoyo. she took 4 hr plus for her hairdo. in the end, i had to shop ard for an hr to wait for her. nevertheless, tis long awaiting was a blessing in disguise. got myself formal clothes le. so happy. but it's all black. keke. had a appetizing and delicious dinner wif my family at the tze char.

waiting anxiously for next wk to come. PA... keke. a busy holiday.

Was waiting anxiously for my paper yest despite studying for 11 days. my classmates all seem to be in their good spirit cos it's the last paper for tis sem. i dunno how to react but to feel excitement n anxiety inside me. "Jiayou for the last paper! Do not leave any blanks!" tt was wat i told myself b4 the paper... Time really flies. 2hrs of paper n freedom came! Although i feel tt i din do very well for all my papers, it's finally over. n i can really put down the big stone inside me. Yeah!

Had a discussion meeting wif my 2 fyp groupmates b4 heading towards city hall to meet my ntu tutorial classmates for a dinner gathering. was 40 mins late. so ps. the dinner was so so... din really like it. but i really enjoyed talking to my bestie. haha. had lots of catching up. after dinner, we went to grab some desserts n set at the smu study benches to engage in some small talks. overall, the outing was alright. cos wasnt too close wif them. walk quite long distances also. legs swollen... but it's ok. Exams are finally over!!!

tis morning i woke up at 10 despite sleeping at 5 plus the nite b4. tt was the first time i had ever slept so late. i was suspecting if those pastries we ate yest contain any caffeine. or is it i'm still rather stressed after exams? tot i would be late to meet my hk n company for kbox but surprisingly i reached on time. went to shop ard for anfer's bday present n cake b4 they arrived. anfer was late -_-''' nvm. tt left us more time for shopping. keke. went over to kbox after tt. simon joined us shortly. it has been so long since we had gathered n hve fun at kbox. miss u guys n the fun! keke. celebrated anfer's bday at the same time. but hk left early to meet out wif his other frens. tt was our last outing wif hk b4 he left for US ba. i guess i will miss his company n also the fun ba. nvm. i'm sure he's gg to hve lots of fun over at US de. keke. Jiayou kor kor! haha.

after kbox, we went to a restaurant recommended by anfer. it was called Creation n is located at shaw tower. wow. neva know there's such good food at such ulu place. the food were appetizing n the serving was big. in the end, all of us were super duper full n had really hard time finishing the main dishes n the desserts. we were wondering y the waiters n managers were all males. there's nt even a single female server. but their efficiency rate was high. tt's y many ppl patronise the restaurant. cos the food was superb n the customer service was good. strongly recommended!!!

we walked long distances to clarke quay so tt we can satisfy our anfer's quest for alcohol. haha. no la. had heard fr him tt he wanted to club n pub. unfortunately, tis time round. we only went to pub to drink. the Cafe Igaru pub was a mexican one n the music was nice towards the end of our drink. tt's so sad. nevertheless, it's still a rather good chill out place. Except tt the weather was rather humid n warm making us feeling sticky n making me uncomfortable.

tired... i'm off to slp le. looking fwd to activities to unfold during tis 1 week break!

"Bon voyage hk kor kor! Have lot of fun over there k! All the best. Find pretty mei mei over there! haha. See u soon! Take care! We will miss ur company! Wish u were here!"
