It's been v v v long since my last posts. I have alot to say, so I'm going to make it all up now.
03 Sep 2007 to 23 Nov 2007:
I was on my IPP, short for Industrial Placement Programme, which I was on a 3 months attachment. It was really a fruitful one although there were difficult times where I had to put up with other's unresonable. Like I was blame on something that was not my fault.
How would you feel when your colleague found out some mistake and she didn't know who was the culprit, but she straight away shouted for your name loudly across the whole office and confronted, "Hey, why did you do that? Do you know by doing such a thing, it can cause alot of trouble to the others. Please take note of this in future!" When I heard that I was totally confuse and didn't know what was she reffering to. Of course I said I didn't even touch that particular file and I don't know what is she talking about!!
Sigh. Anyway, it's a matter of time I will have to live in such an office environment and sadly, politics exist everywhere....
Let's not concentrate on the unhappy things. Life still goes on and Thank GOD that I've got to know a new fren named Cass. She went into the department slightly earlier than me and naturally when both of us were not as close to those who worked for years there, and were still trying to pick up the pace of the department, we were able to understand the difficulties that each other met and that became a common topic between us. Therefore very quickly, we became close friends despite the 10 yrs diff in our age.
When I was handing my work over to another colleague from China, it was very trying too. Firstly, he had difficulty conversing in English, but this was not the main difficulty as my Chinese was fairly good. My main difficulty was that he was very lazy! For the same procedures I demonstrated 5 times and yet he didn't take down any notes at all!! On top of that he was even daring enough to tell me that he wasn't familiar with Microsoft Excel (English Version). I end up having to make him write down step by step. As in after every step I will pause, make sure he write notes on that particular step and I will read what he has written and make sure that he was on track.
That is really testing my patience... Furthermore he has BO and bad breath!!! All I could do was to ENDURE!!! I am so thankful that everything went well and it's over.

This is a very unhappy day for me as I lost a friend.
I received the news of his death this morning at 11am.
I WILL MISS YOU MY FRIEND!!

It's Christmas!! In a wink of an eye, I have been a Chirstian for ONE year! WooHoo...!!!
I went to church with Alina at 10:05am for a play at 10:30am, but I wasn't early enough!!
There were already hundreds of people there, trying to get a seat in the main hall! We end up having to sit in the basement and watch the play through a transmission from the Hall...
I also heard that people actually went to the church at 8:45am which is nearly 2hours early!!!

I went to my church's watchnight service. I was still wondering what will we be doing at such a service?? Watch the night together?? Lol!!
We actually had a COUNTDOWN in church!!! Cool huh. Didn't know that church is so modern nowadays. Hhahaa... We also pray together for the new year.
After the service my Cell Group and I went to have supper together at the Malay Prata Stall opposite Beauty World in Bukit Timah. On our way home at around 2plus, we still see quite alot of people walking on the street. It's something that you won't get to see everyday huh... =)
BLESSED NEW YEAR ALL MY FRIENDS!!!
FROM 26 Nov 2007 to 04 Jan 2008
I'm back in school!! I was posted to EMRS, Events Management Road Shows where students plan and organize road show for the school. I was tasked to search for supplier to bring in products to sell in the school's Christmas Fair and I successfully brought in aromatheray products!! PTL!!
The next exciting thing I was involved in is the Open House where we decided to hand made some accessories for sale. I was in charge of designing and making earrings which I had no experience in AT ALL!~!! Haha. It was tough at strat but i slowly become quite expert in it. I made 100pairs of earrings in a short span or 2 days!! Cool! Hope they will sell like hot cakes!
Days in EMRS are the happiest time of my 3 yrs in NYP!!! EMRS rulez!!
All the friends that I've made in EMRS! Friends 4eva!!! I'll be moving onto another project stopover next week, hope it will be fun too!!! It's a pity that I made the earrings but I won't get to sell them. Hmm.... But it's okay!!!
