Summer Intern

That's the title of my two-month stint at this company. The first day was pretty decent: introduction to the office people, office environment and Corporate Finance. It was a good day and I thought it went by quickly! At first I thought 9 to 5 jobs will be a total drag, but so far it's not true. Fortunately, from what I have experienced so far, the environment here is very relaxed. The office people report to work at about 9.30am and leave after 5pm. I'm currently in the middle of my 3rd day of work. I was supposed to do some reading up but... ehhehehhehhe I guess I got distracted. As always!

Anyhoo, a colleague needed my workspace. Oh yes. My workspace is so interesting! It has a Bloomberg computer which is full of news of all sorts! The rate of which new news are produced is really amazing. Honestly, I have never given much thought about it before so I was in awe when I witnessed it. Literally like O.O (imagine enlarged eyes and lips forming a small "O"). My senior is cool and responsible! He gives me tasks everyday, even when he's out of office. I was just checking my e-mail and guess what's in there? NEW TASK! I wish I can get moving with it but I can't since the colleague is still using my workspace... oh well.

Lunch-hour is becoming quite a lonely time, like today. Yesterday Rachel and Mila (lovelettes!!) came to join me for lunch and we had Thai (t. After which we visited the arcade, got very excited because there's House of the Dead 4 and Silent Hill but we ended up disappointed. I tried House of the Dead 4 with Rachel but it was a bad mistake. The guns were screwed up and we burnt $2 in less than a minute (Rachel decided to skip the introduction). She then moved on with Silent Hill along with Mila. Too bad I had to rush off because I still have yet to complete yesterday's task. Based of their experienced, it wasn't too bad! Met them again after work. They were thinking about getting masks and in the end I got tempted by one of the products. It's said to reduce dark circles! Mila said the brand is good, so I really hope it will work. I can't wait to try it! :D

My cramps are giving me quite a hard time trying to settle down a comfortable position. Workspace is backkkkkkk time to complete me task!! :D
