Holidays Recap Part 1: The Internship

OK I got bored with the previous blog layout and decided to go back to something minimalist. So anyway, I'm starting school today and I thought I should do a recap of the crazy holidays that just passed.

TheInternship
It still feels a little weird that work has ended. It felt as though I was going to be there forever. 

My internship was with a small design firm called Sketch Worxs and it is situated in Katong. From the day I started work on 4th May, I got to be involved in a range of works and although most of them are very similar in nature, I'm grateful for such exposure. 

I started out alone, as the sole employee before Ruey Jen (FYI: She's my ex-classmate and classmate -to-be) joined me about 3 weeks later. From the cosy office in Katong Mall to the not-so-usual one above Charlie's Peranakan, it's been quite an experience. I've met new people, learnt new things and tasted Katong's delicacies. Haha. 

I'm definitely going to miss a lot of things. My seat, the radio stations that we played in office, the food, the snacks, my bosses' non-stop hilarious bickering... Whatever it is, I guess my point is, it's been a good 3 months. And I really wanna thank my bosses for being such wonderful superiors. And of course, I have to thank Ruey Jen, whom I've been facing almost everyday for the past few months! THANK YOU!

Well, the last day was unexpectedly emotional. Wasn't sure if it's partly because of all the things that have been happening recently but I was actually quite sad to walk out of the office. It even felt as though I was going to tear.  Haha maybe I'm just being silly.

Not Now

All updates and self-indulgent verbal vomiting will have to be pushed back because something happened at home but life still goes on. So updating my trip and all is definitely not the priority at the moment. Alright, it's back to my school work for now and till then, I'll see you (whoever reads this) around.

So Many Things to Say

There's indeed a lot of things that I would like to say, or talk about. The trip itself, the reflections, the post-trip and oh well just alot of things. But that'll probably be in entries to come. (And some photos too perhaps)

Feel like moving over to wordpress.

Can I Emo Please?

Been so emo lately I'm beginning to question all the ":)", "lol", "haha",etc that I'm so used to using.
Every smile and every laugh seem to be just half genuine.
Sorry I'm really not used to having this kind of prolonged emo-ness.
Everything just feels like it's stuck halfway up the esophagus.


I guess I don't even know how to emo properly.

I have this strong desire

to start writing songs again.
Or complete those that were incomplete.
Or write lyrics for those without.
Or record them with vocals.

OK I did finish one a few weeks ago.
But it felt like I can do so much more.

Just can't seem to get started.

Internship 13


I didn't even realise I got yesterday's entry wrong.
It should read "Internship 12" rather than "...07".
Didn't even realise it's already more than 2 wks.
Time flies!

Internship 07

I think I underestimated the role of an intern. But the amount and pace of work is honestly kinda overwhelming. It's true when they say work is nothing like school isn't it?

Don't worry I'm not giving up. Hahaha. It's only day 7 of work! (OK it felt as though I've been in office for a very long time haha) Just need to adjust a bit more to the pace. And at least I can already see that this is going to be a hell of an experience!

OK I need to try and do some work before I go to bed.
Oh and we're shifting next week!
