Internship is living hell. 2 days and I can't imagine how I am to survive here for 3+ months.
Super depressed. I was actually looking forward to work in a cozy environment with several friendly staff *envious of some friends*. This indeed screw up my ideal working experience.
The company. Used to be at Commonwealth. Ran out of funds so shifted to Jalan Pemimpin.
Front door
This is supposed to be my workstation. The computer can't be connected though. Even if it does, I don't think it is suitable for work. I mean I don't think the programs I need can run on that. Besides there is none provided to begin with.
"Your laptop looks like a shining oasis in an otherwise very eroded badlands." - Cheng Kai
Okay then I decided that I should bring my laptop. So that is my working area now. Chair can't fit into table so I can't lean back. I think my hunched back will worsen. It is so hot that I didn't even realised there is aircon till I heard the staff auntie mentioned about it.
Was talking with Wei Liang and Cheng Kai on FB, and they said it seems like I am surviving a zombie outbreak. Then again, I would probably perish as the water supply is only...
Eventually I have to work on tasks I am totally unfamiliar with.
Design/edit DVD Jacket/slides? Okay. Produce/ implement a skype like system/platform?
I SERIOUSLY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO IT.
I can and is willing to learn to use or do stuff. But I can't produce things I've never done or been taught before. It's not like I have a choice anyway. Moreover, no resources or what so ever. Not even the original raw files is available for edit. Plus the boss is strict. He wants a report on what I did weekly and what I am going to do for the following week.Damn, I regret not self securing a job.
Oh yes. Finally, my topic.
Vectocardiogram (VCG).

Birthdays celebration★ @ 9:47 AM
Met up with Yi Xuan, Michelle and Bi Xia to celebrate the 2 girls' birthday yesterday.
I was uber late though ORZ|| SIP company called. The place I am working at is not @ Clementi but Marymount! Yayyy so convienent with circle line~
We went to watch The Other Guys. The language is a bit coarse, but it is a good mix of comedy and action.
☆Trailer☆
After sending Bi Xia off to school, we tried to make our way to Play House but ended up in Mind's Cafe.
The charges are $4.50/hour for the board games, $6.00 for the games and free flow of drinks during Happy Hours(2pm - 6pm only). I ordered another (selected) main course @ $6.90 too. Actually, I find it rather expensive though...
My Cabonara♥
Our first game waas...
We need to compete to hit the bell when there is 5 same type of fruits on the table (exact number). I am rather slow in this so for the 2 times we play, I ended up as the mid scorer.
Next one...
PandaMonium (action)
Each card represent an action (except for like 3-4 of them) and one has to do the action corresponding to the card's picture (e.g panda playing drums; hit the table). The person who flipped the card will be the judge that decides who is the slower one and pass the card to her. Yay I won this haha, thought I would suck at it, guess it is the panda's power. LOL idk why Yi Xuan keep doing the action when she doesn't need to as she is the one flipping the card.
Then it was the well known..
Taboo!
Guess everyone knows how to play this. We just tweak a little since we only had 3 people. Haha this version has some Singaporean words so it turned out funnier than expected lol (CPF, PAP etc)
Last one we play--
Repeat Pete (comedy)
This. Is super hilarious I tell ya. Each of us will need to draw a card every turn. And we have to do the action or words shown on it (without revealing what it is), plus all the actions that have been done previously. So it will stack until someone forgets. Some actions are really kua zhang and since certain moves are up to that person's interpretation, she/he can do whatever they want as long as it makes sense. Yes, time to be evil LOL. But must remember that you still have to do it again.
Managed to play these only. Left at 6pm. Michelle went Bugis to meet her friends while Me and Yi Xuan headed home (chatted and walked a little in Compass to find HDD pouch).

Art of Conversing @ 11:36 AM
Words always make a huge difference, depending on the tone and the way one says or phrases it.
I am very bad with words, which makes it miserable for myself because of my personality. Usually people speak without knowing what faults lie in it. Well, ignorance is bliss. I find it less painful than finishing your sentence and regretting what you just blurted. Not like you didn't put thoughts into what you wanted to bring up but rather, you accidentally say it in a way it looks like you mean the bad way but you actually don't.
It sucks big time, having to deal with things like these yourself because it's hard to find people who understand. At least who grasp the gist of it. I have to keep everything to myself to ensure minimal troubles would occur. For the sake of everyone and to make myself less guilty.
Wondered why really, that I have to know. How nice it would be, to be a naive little kid who won't deduce matters automatically or even a bastard who does things on own account without concern of others and without realising it. That way life would be at much more ease. So tiresome.
You might think that you know, but y
Standing by myself is hard. What ticks me off the most is my reliance on others for directions. If I can fix it, there is so many stuff I would be able to do by myself. In order not to sense the selfishness of others and become more independent.
I am not even sociable to begin with. Don't expect me to be one because of the way I behave. I am just trying my best to be gratifying to the people and situation in this parsimonious world.

Koreaaaaan @ 5:20 PM
It kills to have headache for many days straight. Imagine I can only sleep or at most watch TV. If I stare at my laptop to watch anime or read manga, the words and animation will only hurt my brain more. Because of the overdose sleeping, I felt like shit too.
Supposed to go Master's house on Sunday, but the pain was getting unbearable (I am pretty sure it will get more jia lat if I have to see some bastard I don't want to). Worse than stomach cramps IMO. Arghh I am so scared I can't finish <-wols
Intend to go school to pass some wigs since I feel better today. But I don't think it'd be nice to show a going-to-die face then people will start to worry and ask if I am okay. Will be dampening the mood also orz.
Anyway I am into something Korean recently. Seems like Koreans stuff are becoming very popular nowadays, especially the bands haha. Nah I am not really into idols. I am talking about Man Hwa here. Yup Korean manga. To be the precious, it's the web toon that is making me addicted. They are comics being posted online, especially on Naver. Fully coloured, and usually only a few pages long (as they are vertical).
Tell me, would you not go to school if you have a handsome blonde as principal (first panel), classmates like those (bottom 2) and uber hot security guards to gawk at?
The action and comedy is seriously good. It's being updated weekly and on the top chart of MF *can sense the fandom growing huge* Darn it, if not for the fact that they have such sharp facial features, I would totally cosplay from this series >3<
Some other which I enjoy reading currently (most of them just started being scanlated)--
They are mainly on school life/slice of life + romance (Click on the name to take a look @ Manga Fox!)
Yeah I know it sucks to have images of so many different sizes but I don't have my Photoshop with me after formatting (-゛-；) Don't even have Microsoft Office =w=..
I chanced upon this korean drama's 2nd episode on channel 855 the other day and got hooked on the fighting scene, it's damn cool. The plot looks interesting too.

Ahh *rolls around*

Prince of Tennis @ 9:46 PM
I seriously need buddies to fangirl this series D8 Thus, I decided to create an entry on why one should watch Prince of Tennis.
I bet when you first hear the title you go like "HAR TENNIS (-_-；；". Wait! Give it a chance, Prince of Tennis(PoT/Tenipuri) is not just about Tennis. Well, look at me. There must be some kind of reasons to why I am so obsessed with it, riiiiiiiigght?? Let us take a look at a few of its main attractive points.
Firstly, the numerous bishounen it in. I swear this is by far the series with most hotties (come on, why do you think I have like 15 favourite characters in this anime lulz *gets brick*). There are at least9 schools. And each team has around 7-9 members. Do your maths, over80 characters and there would definitely be one bishie on every team. Imagine the influx of handsome males! Various characters of different personalities for you to choose from. So I herdz you like Tsundere? Shota? Megane? Boy-next-door?Bad boy?Flower boy?Hyper guy?Gentlemen?Trickster?Sadist?Leader?Shy type?Caucasian?Twins? Then look no futher! They are all packed in here hurhur.
Here are some I picked for showcase. Different colours indicate different schools. OF COURSE THERE ARE MORE 8D
Never forget about the voice actors also. Take a look at the cast list and you would go gaga over it. For those fangirls who are interested in BL, you all can die happy slashing the characters. There are a huge loads of pretty artworks and doujinshi because of the large fanbase, especially in Japan.
Next is the comedy, which will make you laugh your ass off. Tennis every episode? Not quite possible. When a bunch of quirky people come together, you get a dash of everything. Trust me, certain episodes are so hilarious that it will crack up you up totally (awesome for a bad day). I am so gonna make a list of these episodes.
Lastly, yes tennis lol. Occasionally, you would find it boring. However, there really are notable matches which will make you be super engrossed in it. The interesting tactics they use, cool moves etc will definitely impress you.
If its not nice to watch, besides the animanga, there won't be OVAs, Movies, Dramas and even Musicals <- THIS IS A MUST WATCH I TELL YA (If you like real life bishies).
Hence, give it a try and don't surrender after the first few episodes! I admit I was zzzing when watching it on channel I initially. But after I got to the best parts, I just love it. Still do now 8D

History of falls @ 2:37 PM
It isn't a good thing but I think it would be kinda amusing(?) for my future self to read. Have no idea why I am so prone to accidents. As much as I can remember..
Primary Fingers got 'kiap' by doors. Taxi ran over toes. Got tripped in classroom.
Secondary Rolled down spiral staircase in NCHS. Fell off bus to bus stop (some idiot threw paper on the steps).
Poly Fell at the steps of the overhead bridge opp TP. Fell while climbing to the 2nd level on bus. Fell and scrapped knees + arm during NAPFA. Fell near escalator. Fell on escalator to purple line MRT.
Home Slipped and fell umpteen times (in toilet etc). Slammed into sides of sofa with several bruises. Banged into sides of walls/doors.

NAPFA @ 11:02 AM
Yesterday, I had NAPFA. Properly finished everything this time.
First up, Sit & Reach. Last time was about 34cm I think, this round i got 39cm! *trying to aim at least a 'C' for every station*
Second, Shuttle Run Very depressing. I got 13s+ and flunk it. This, screwed up my entire NAPFA like seriously. I am usually a 10.Xs scorer, didn't get what is happening. I think the distance was too short for me to charge and speed up. How humiliating for someone who is always good in sprint/short distance running. Another factor might be that I didn't stretch sideway to reach the block. Stopping infront to get it is just retarded *slap self* I couldn't stop myself in time and fell to the ground, scrapping my elbows and knees due to the friction. It's still hurting now.
Third station, Standing Broad Jump. OOT, Last time 'Jump', used to remind me of Shounen Jump, now Hey Say Jump whenever I saw the word! lol 180cm. 19Xcm during the old days. Fine with it though.
Fourth. Sit and Reach. Time to score. 32, A. Always an A for this section.
Fifth was Pull up. I suck at this seriously *looks at thin arms* I brought along plasters since I know the top of my palm will hurt just by holding the bar *no idea why also* The previous time I only did 3. SUPER ELATED, this time i did 13!! Huge improvement~☆
Finale. Obviously the most hated 2.4km run. 6 rounds on the field. Did badly for this also, about 20mins. Used to be 16mins...what is this shit man. Can only blame myself for not practicing. It felt like hell, thank goodness I kept telling myself not to give up (Y).
With this, my gold achieving spree ended. During my secondary days, it was usually 3As and 3Cs for NAFA. People were like telling me, NAFA is useless, especially to girls who don't go army. But since I've always been getting Gold, my heart feels kinda empty not obtaining it. It's like a target I set for myself though, thus it might not be important to others.
Thought of rewarding myself for trying hard so I bought bubble tea back home haha. In the end, it had to top it off with period. Just after I bought the cold drinks. Dang.
