Life According to Ping ...

Please tell me that the essential of an intern position is educating students on the operatations of the copier, the organization of documents, the number of words you can type per minute. Tell me that most interns suffer the same fate as myself and perhaps i may feel better about my learning experience. My internship position also builds on my patience with a freaking 90 minutes of journey via public transport everyday.

I call myself a mean fotocopyin machine on msn, and definitely im working towards it. After all, today I learnt abt the "interrupt" button on the copier at work.

Lunch is the most depressing issue at work. We do not have our own canteen (gosh, how i detest the word canteen) so what happens is that we will packet lunch from next door.

I had nasi lemak yesterday and well they were sure generous with their servings including the oil in the rice, chicken, egg, fishcake. It should be called nasi oily. Then again its not only the nasi that is oily. Its the whole damn plate.

I visualized squirting mayo on the people who took away our internet access. After that they would drown in the body shampoo imported by the same company.

This entry had been edited for your easy reading as the blogger fell asleep before the computer after a horrendous day at work and was too tired to click on the publish button 3 days later.

After driving round the roundabout twice, I did not exit and came back to the point of origin with her. Damn all the mileage n gas wasted.
You guys prolly dinna know that I had a 2nd go at Hong Kong, but I chose to stay on here this time. No regrets.

Everything's plastic may I quote the depressing book. Almost true I must say except the true few ones by my side.

Im sorry for all my flaws,
But I'm proud to be real.

Moonriver
Wider than a mile
I'll be crossing you in style
Someday

Oh, Dreammaker
You heartbreaker
Wherever you're going
I'm going your way

Two drifters
Off to see the world
I'm not so sure the world
Deserves us

We're after
The same rainbow's end
How come it's just around the bend ?
It's always just around the bend ?

Less than 10 hours to my papers, yet all I am doing is replaying this song. Yes I'm sick, but I love the man! Frank Sinatra. Oh I also set up an all important yahoogroups for my darlings. Blog. Eat. Mug ( I wish)

And I did not have it difficult with my mum surprisingly.

It was a damn casual sounding question, macham i going orchard
mum>>"So you going ah?"
me>> "Yah"
Mum>> "I see, btw, your dad bought the awful daisy milk by mistake."
me>> " Eeeuu, I hate the milk"

Does that mean I'm going? And I don't think anyone mention me going to daddy yet. =X

An article talking about the nightlife concluded my struggle with regards to the overseas internship. oki partly the reason. I think I'm going!! Pray that everything goes smoothly for me! ie: the process of getting there.

An observation of people blogging more often before the exams. My source of statistics, miss effy and myself.

Anyways, great plans had been made for after exams. I cant wait!

good day

Im swaying. Im weakening. Im falling into the comfort zone lure. God save me.

Is it just me?

I seem to have this ability to complicate everything that comes along. Almost everything. Yes, my darlings would think that I'm exaggerating again. Everything. So be it. This is what I feel.

A simple internship programme. It kinda got a little too complicated for simple me to figure out again.

Background Information
A SMU 3rd year most likely to be finance major student who do not adore finance as yet.
An internship programme in Hong Kong. --> Jobscope - Product development, basically launching new products in the market, perhaps even sales.

Now whats the link ya? Clearly the jobscope aint perfect for this to be finance major, yet, yet a part of me wants to know what it is like. (Remember my lack of adoration for finance, the numbers and money do not intrigue me) Working alone overseas, getting out of comfort zone, and hopefully yes learn. To me, I view this as an opportunity. One that may be tough and lonely but hopefully strengthen me. So let it be if I have to starve and have a bun a day. So be it.

The opposition party
People who exert rather powerful influence in my life, that is my parents are yes, not for it. Least I had one for me initially then she changed her mind and decided that a girl paying good money to go HK to suffer aint worth it. After all, with the high cost of living there, rent and the unsafe environment, they ask "what for". Why can't their daughter be typical? Serve her internship obligations in a nice safe finance department in Singapore, come home early and for crying out loud clean her room. They have this ability to decide that definitely I'm there to support the HK tourism industry and boost their economy with "buy things eat things buy things eat things" They decided that I'm there to party. They also decided that their daughter is insensible, financially insensible and clueless about the baddies lurking out there.

With all due respect to my parents, I understand their concern. Yet.. I do not know what I should do.

An upcoming show

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

This is the story of a guy, Joel (Carrey), who discovers that his long-time girlfriend, Clementine (Winslet), has undergone a psychiatrist's (Wilkinson) experimental procedure in which all of her memory of Joel is removed, after the couple has tried for years to get their relationship working fluidly. Frustrated by the idea of still being in love with a woman who doesn't remember their time together, Joel agrees to undergo the procedure as well, to erase his memories of Clementine. The film, which takes place mostly within Joel's mind, follows his memories of Clementine backwards in time as each recent memory is replaced, and the procedure then goes on to the previous one, which is likewise seen, and then erased. Once the process starts, however, Joel realizes he doesn't really want to forget Clementine, so he starts smuggling her away into parts of his memory where she doesn't belong... which alters other things about his memories as well. <-- i have an obligation to catch it with sister jing, alas.

Lacuna, the technology used in the flim which allows you to remove partial of your memory, you dictate what you want to remove. The abusive boyfriend, the haunting ghost of your past, whatever that matters to you. Now im thinking on what to delete.

An ultimatum seemed to be passed on me when I had to decide.

April 01, 2004

no strings attached. would you jump @ the chance?

A woman of my world

You knew about my granny pants needs when levis was all in the rage.
You knew about the readings i would not print for class and got it all sort out.
You knew about my inability to skate and were there for me when I tumble.

And trust that

I do know about your ability to hide behind the smile on your face.
I do know that one has the ability to hurt and also be hurt at the same time.
I do know that you will work things out with or without us in your life.

She is feeling down. Or is she not?
Will you still wear your smile today? for she, she & him. And so what if you don't. always our dearest you be.



I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
