Week 2 of Internship SURVIVED

Working has been very much tolerable this week, albeit the few shocks and surprises, but I'll survive them.

The first thing I do when I arrive in the office is to get my breakfast ready. 1 dosage of espresso, 1 dosage of hot chocolate/milo, it's a rather awesome concoction! And then I will get random layer cakes and maybe raisins.

DID YOU NOTICE THIS COOL CUP!

It will change to beige when the liquid inside is hot!! WOOOO :D

Last week we had Kungfu Panda new series screening, and we all had free bento lunches! :)) Love how well my company treats the employees.

It will be shown on Nickelodeon later this month! :) In case you are wondering, no this is not the movie, this is a series!

Past outfits! :)

I'm damn lazy to name all of them, I APOLOGISE. :P

I realised blogging has taken a backseat because of my internship. Weekdays are almost impossible for blogging because of how tired I am when I get home. I will try my best to blog, but I hope you guys understand!! :)

What I'm going to do for 6 months.

For the next 6 months or so, I won't be in school, but will be in my office cubicle doing what an intern should be doing - everything PERFECTLY.

I don't really care if I'm not supposed to post my workpass or whatever, I'M JUST GOING TO POST, I DON'T CARE. Anyway everything's cool and dandy so WHY NOT?

AND SO, I am going to be a research intern in MTV Asia! :D Actually a research intern for both MTV Asia and Nickelodeon (hence the Patrick photo). It's a really cool place with nice colleagues (till now that is. heh.) and the atmosphere is professional yet laidback. LUBX.

Here's my pass! :D

Our pantry rocks the world's biggest socks. We have everything there! As of now the lollipops have new company in the form of CNY snacks! Instant yam paste included. Siao one. LOOK AT THE INSTANT NOODLES. FREE LUNCH EVERYDAY WEEEEEE.

And we even have this very very nice auntie who is in charge of the pantry. Bananas gone, she will refill with a mountain of bananas (yes, they never run out, NEVER). Don't know how to use coffee machine, just ask her. SERIOUSLY LOVING HER AND THE PANTRYYY.

BUT not all has been smooth-sailing. I have to learn a new software from scratch (research software le, so mother chim.) and I have to love Excel. Taking it one step at a time, but I can't do that next week because my buddy, who taught me everything, is leaving on Tuesday, and that means that I'M DOING EVERYTHING. AH FUCK.

This is what I see 60% of the workweek. Oh dear God. I need a new pair of specs.

I also have to send a lot of emails out every week, and I'm very scared to make mistakes! So I wrote these to remind myself to KEEP CHECKING.

I made 2 mistakes last week: first I attached the wrong file, second I sent to wrong people. oh my gosh damn shame shame, but my supervisor was very nice about it.

My buddy and I have decided to talk over ebuddy because he sits 2 cubicles away from me and quite inconvenient for him to keep coming over when I have questions. So that means, I talk to other bored people on ebuddy too. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

OK SHALL GO FOR A RUN NOW. Sitting down for the next 23 weeks is going to make my butt fit 2 airplane seats nicely. nooooooooo. SHALL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Past OOTD

I wore this outfit to work on Wednesday. Work has been rather ... systematic, so the only creative I get everyday is my outfit. I'm getting an outfit blank every morning though. I just recently cleaned out my closet, and now I have much less clothes (notice I used uncountable words? HAHAHAHAHA), so I don't know what to mix and match and rock anymore. AIYOH, TIME FOR MORE SHOPPING.

Everything on me is thrifted online except the chio shoes, which were from Forever 21!

New shoes! YAY to the NEW YEAR!

I simply cannot pass up an opportunity on sgflea that screamed 3pairs for $27. HALO? That is like throwing away a good shopping therapy!

So I immediately commented (I was the first to comment, so proud of myself, those bitches after me wanted the same things, but hey SORRY WAS THERE FIRST. WOOTS.) and they were mine the next day! YAY.

The first pair was this Charles & Keith sandals. This pair is just gorgeous. I have worn it once, and even though they fit me well, they hurt a wee bit, so I'm hoping it's just because they were brand new.

I also got a Forever 21 leopard oxfords and a plain pair of Mitju brown ankle boots!

Rather stoked about my new shoes. :D

Can't wait to wear them to office! My office btw allows slippers, THAT IS FREAKING AMAZING. Love MTV! :D

Hiatus for a while

Sorry for the lack of posts! So many things going against me making a blogpost!

1. Internship has been tough and trying because I need to learn a lot in a sjort period of time. So I barely have to time to sleep, so lagi more no time to blog! :( However I have lots of instagram photos so that will come up soon!

2. I'm now very sick. My supervisor was nice enough to let me off early today because he saw the mountain of tissues that I piled up after sneezing etc. Need to sleep!

3. The internet connection is atrocious. I'm typing this on the Blogger app for my phone, that's how bad it is. I'm going to call Singtel soon to give them a piece of my mind!

I promise a post maybe tomorrow night? Ok, maybe more than a post!! :))

Good night everyone! Have a good weekend!

I CUT MY HAIR YET AGAIN (Disclaimer: Camwhore post) + NEW YEAR OOTD

So the story goes like this:

I went back to Jakarta and grandma was rather upset with my unkempt hair, so she wanted me to chop a wee bit to freshen up a bit. My auntie recommended a hairdresser and all of us went. It was a SHOCK because the South Korean hairdresser spoke Bahasa Indonesia better than me and the entire salon was filled with other South Koreans chatting away in Korean. So I felt like a stranger in my hometown. Ironic.

She was really an expert. Usually my hair will take more than 20 minutes to cut in Singapore. This amazing lady zoom zoom with her seasoned hands and my hair was done in 9 minutes (I counted because I was in awe). And it was the best cut I have ever gotten since 2008. This is hilarious. My haircut cost me Rp. 100,000 (~S$16). Stupid salons in Singapore just GTFO.

Then again, I am whining away. I'm stuck in Singapore for another good 5 years or so (maybe more, I don't know yet) and I need to depend on Singaporean salons to keep me from not looking like a cavewoman, so I take my complains back.

I'm crazy.

OK GOOD HAIR PHOTOS.

Anyway, I wore fake lashes (FANCY!) to the new year countdown party! Getting more seasoned now so it took me less time now! VEH GOOD. I love makeup so much, but I don't wear fake lashes on a regular basis; I should be hung to death.

And the hair colour is very much appropriate for work (which starts tomorrow. urgh)! HOORAY!

OOTD FOR NEW YEAR COUNTDOWN AT BEER MARKET!

Top: MNG

Jeggings: thrifted from Indo (this is a MARVELOUS pair!)

Wedges: spreehouse (the right sole has sadly detached itself, and I NEED SUPERGLUE TO FIX IT. URGH.)

Accessories: gmarket, h&m, forever21

New Year Haul!

Finally my first 2012 post! I am super lazy to blog nowadays, PLEASE FORGIVE ME. I have so many posts to blog about! I SWEAR TO BLOG ABOUT THEM BY TONIGHT. Of course, my internet connection will have to cooperate as well.

Going back to the glorious topic of hauling. I cannot NOT shop in Indonesia because that simply doesn't make sense. HEH.

First up, I bought this totally loud sheer leopard-print blouse with leather trims. Can be extremely wild when paired with a leather bottom, or can be super laidback/bohemian when paired with a long black maxi skirt. CAN'T WAIT TO ROCK THIS. :D

Just a simple green blouse for work. I'm trying to inject more colours into my wardrobe. The bf has been complaining of me wearing too much black. OOPS.

Another leather-trimmed item. This was not bought in Indonesia, but from gmarket. I got it on the day I came back so I grouped them all together.

I was really apprehensive about this because I was afraid it's going to be too tight on me (models on gmarket are stick-thin) but it wasn't! YAY TO THAT!

It's a little bit thick though. So I need to wear this strategically, maybe when it's raining really hard in the morning.

Purchases from Rumah Mode Factory Outlet in Bandung. Bandung is full of factory outlets that sell REAL branded goods at up to 80% off. It's crazy how some of the items are still on the racks (in the actual stores, of course) and how they are also sold at Rumah Mode for damn cheap. For example, my sister got her Marc by Marc Jacobs T-shirt for a mere S$10. IT IS CRAZY. No wonder the place is packed with tai-tais and their daughters; no time to go to the actual stores, just go next-door and get them (ya, they are usually located in the residential areas).

Tommy Hillfiger shirt! Original was US$19.90, but I got it for Rp.75,000 (~S$10).

They sell Cotton On too. ROFL. This is from Cotton On and it was less than S$8.

Favourite purchase! MNG top for Rp.99,000 (~S$14).


Just gotta love cheapo shopping! :D

ASOS haul for 2012!

These are all very fortunately sponsored by my mom. :D

The problem now is WHERE IS MY PACKAGE?! Although the site said "will be delivered by 6th January 2012", but I ordered on 20th December! :(

HURRY HURRY ASOS PACKAGE, COME COME!!

Just me and my fat tummy.

I meddled with the mio set and I finally got the internet connection to work properly again. At times of desperation, I make a very good technician. This is FACTUAL, because I have fixed my washing machine (desperation: my clothes were inside and the damned machine refuses to open), the television (desperation: LAST EPISODE OF MY FAVOURITE SHOW) and many times the desktop/laptop etc. I surprise myself sometimes with my secret "bangbangshakeshakehithit" recovering abilities.

SO I FINALLY GOT ALL MY PHOTOS UP. STANDING OVATION FOR THAT PLEASE. :)

The trip back to Indonesia was quite satisfying on the tummy. Good food surrounded me and I gorged myself with all the goodness (and got into a food poisoning fiasco as a result =.=)

The moment we arrived at Ieie Bina's house, Mbak Yani (we don't call her a maid, more like a housekeeper. She is awesome and has been with my auntie before I was born.) cooked up a storm and it was FINALLY a taste of home. Almost cried because I'm a dramaqueen but I held back, so that was a moment to be proud of.

My favourite rujak! Nothing like Singapore's because this has MANGOES in it. What is the best food in the world? Mango rujak.

And the best drink in the world will go to this hugeass coconut. I spent more time on this than eating my dinner. Dig dig dig all the awesome sweet flesh. :D

We spent Christmas in the middle of nowhere. Now that's an experience. We had a hell lot of trouble finding this exclusive and secluded resort because EVERYWHERE WAS TEA PLANTATIONS AND THERE WERE NO DIRECTIONS/ROADSIGNS! The road was extremely narrow as well, hence our 22-persons bus had a difficult time travelling. And also, imagine the horror if we were to turn wrongly, reversing the monster bus in such a narrow road WITH STEEP SLOPES will mean we are basically fucked. Hence, the assistant driver had to go down and ask for directions every 2 minutes to just make sure we were in the right direction. AND PHEW, we made it!! With heavy rain some more; drama everywhere we went.

Room Service courtesy to the resort! :)

We had good weather the next day, so that was awesome. If not we will once again stay in the resort and watch City Hunter all day and night.

FAMILY PORTRAITS TIME. :)

Yes I refuse to take pictures with the foul man. Without him, this photo looks EXTREMELY AWESOME. :)

Us cousins minus Darren (he wants to stay home to take care of his father who just had an operation. AWWWW this 7-year-old sho cuteee)

ME AND MY AHLIAN SISTER WHO HAS MODEL LEGS. FML.

Clothing haul next! :D

Back from Indonesia! :)

I AM BACK.

It has been a fruitful, yet painful at the same time, experience. More will be blogged soon, but what is wrong with blogger?! For the past 2 hours I have been trying to upload photos, but only the above succeeded! O.O

Anyway that's my cousin, Yingying! :)
