Daily Photo #80 - Helix ornament, ITP Week 3
Thursday, March 22, 2012


Saw this interesting ornament outside the foodcourt where I was having lunch today. It's located at millenia walk. Snapped a shot, loved the angle.

I realized I didn't write anything about my ITP last week, whatever, nothing interesting happened.

However, in the blink of an eye, the 3rd week is already nearing it's end. Tomorrow will be Friday, and I would have accomplished nothing in 3 weeks of my supposedly holidays.

But things got better from yesterday onwards.

Daily Photo #75 - Look out. ITP Day 5
Saturday, March 10, 2012

Looking out of the Suntec Tower

Both photos shot on my phone. 

It's only the 26th storey, but it does give a pretty spectacular view. Sadly though, this is not the view from where I sat, but from another room in the office. I mean, if I were to be greeted by this everyday, I probably wouldn't mind going to work for a month.

I think that the top photo looks more pleasant, but I prefer the bottom one.

The ferris wheel! 



You get a rough idea of where I'm shooting the picture from I think!

Daily Photo #74 - Prata at Jalan Kayu, ITP Day 4
Thursday, March 08, 2012

Bottom: Plain, Onion, Egg.  Top: Banana Prata

Unfortunately there's only one picture cause well, I was busy eating.

Went with Y out of the blue. Was the prata nice? Well... It is. But I still prefer the ones from a particular store in Bedok Simpang. 

Well, it was fun meeting up, exchanged stories from our work place, chatted about random stuffs.
There isn't much else I would want to write up here, like the pee story. 

So I'm moving on to my experience in Day 4.

Daily Photo #73 - Mini phone dock, Day 3 ITP
Wednesday, March 07, 2012

Shot on SGSII

What is that?
It's a phone dock obviously, self made.

I bent it out of a a clothe hanger. It wasn't easy even with pliers, but I guess it worked somehow. The ice cream stick part was added on later because I wanted to be able to use the phone when it's docked. Without it, the dock will topple over when I start probing the screen.

So here's how it look like with the phone.


There's another dock that I made earlier, but it looked like shit, so I won't post it. I also "made" one for my laptop; will post it another day. I recently start liking to make my own things, I think it's fun, makes things interesting.

Moving on to my Day 3 ITP experience.

Daily Photo #72 - Day 2 of ITP
Tuesday, March 06, 2012

Sentenced to confinement

Yes, that is where I spend 9 hours in. Okay minus the lunch and screwing around. Maybe 7+.

This is kind of my idea of the job I won't want to get in my life. Being trapped in a tiny cubicle with mountains of paper. Sadly, that's the situation I'm finding myself in. This is already considered very neat as I was already packing up.

During work, there will be paper all over the table. My supervisor came over today and said, "You know that this is your space, you can arrange it however you want, but isn't it a little too messy?"

First day of ITP was...
Monday, March 05, 2012



SHIT.

There's only one acceptable way of phrasing it. It was shit.

The introduction was more than 2 hours long. My butt was aching sitting down still for such a long time. I'm more of the fidgety kind, especially when I have absolutely nothing to do. Since there were new employees, the briefing was targeted towards them.

Which, made it really pointless for the interns.

Anyway, I learned a whole bunch of stuffs today that I'm pretty sure I would never use them in my entire life. At least, I hope that I will not be stuck in a situation where I'll have to use them.

My supervisor/colleagues were really nice to me, so it made everything pretty smooth through.
In summary, admin work sucks, paperwork sucks, filing document sucks, checking for errors suck.

On the brighter side of things, there was something really awesome in the pantry.
It's awesome to the point of majestic.



It's a vending machine, that doesn't require money.

HOW, FREAKING AWESOME IS THAT.
I mean, you just press and the drinks just drops. LIKE OHMYGOD.

Anyway, met up with my classmates and had Seoul Garden after our work. I mean come on, it'll be bad not to celebrate this shitty event. I don't know if it's worth it since my eyes are on the verge of closing. On the topic of my eyes, I apparently rubbed it too hard one night, and now it looks swollen, like someone punched me. So just FYI, don't get any stupid ideas, I just rubbed it too hard. (that's what she said)

Against all odds I manage to churn out a post before I topple, so appreciate it minions and please, talk to me for the next few weeks, especially during my work hours. In the form of messaging. I cannot stand the boringness of it. I finally get how people can go crazy doing this kinda things.

Well, till then!

So my intern starts tomorrow
Sunday, March 04, 2012

I would love to show you the things I've done over the past couple of days. But sadly, my bro is asleep, and yes I do share the room with him *curses*. So I couldn't possible take photos in the dark.

I could, of course, write my posts in the dark.

Anyway, work starts at 9am tomorrow at Dimension Data. Yeah I know right, that's a pretty cool sounding company. They're dealing with cloud computing, but as an intern, I'll probably be the paper boy around there. Which honestly, kills my mood and make me have no motivation in going there tomorrow.


The upside though, is that it's in town, Suntec. So I'll feel somewhat like a working adult. I'll get to experience the lunch hour rush. Even though it seems largely pointless, I guess it'll be a rather good experience for me working in such environments.

Last but not least, I have no idea what exactly I'll be doing tomorrow, nor do I know what time my work ends. Which honestly does worry me quite a bit. Please, let me end early, so that I could come home and blog about it.

Hung out with awesome people just now, and I talked about removing your google history.

Here's the link for the searches.
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/02/how-remove-your-google-search-history-googles-new-privacy-policy-takes-effect

As for the youtube,
Go to your account (top right hand corner) -> Video Manager -> History -> Clear all viewing history -> Pause viewing history -> Search History -> Clear all search history -> Pause search history

And you records will stopped being logged. Well, sorry for such a rushed guide but well, I'm gonna hit the bed right now, so goodnight, and wish me luck for tomorrow's work (:
