This one is just the guys =D from left to right: Patrick, Jiasheng, Kenny, me, kuek siong & Dominic.


Hahah working at OCBC is truly fun and enriching experience, i really learnt alot about loads of stuff, some which i cant say but yup, some take backs that i feel that i truly benefitted from was the courage i gained after contacting various people and attending loads of meetings and taking minutes etc. the thing about it was that most of them were VPs from other departments which was TRULY TRULY scary! if u asked me to call a bank officer i'd be like ok... but VP! omgosh! not one but many lols. this month has really been a really meaningful one, working together with them at OCBC not forgetting jackson, jiasheng, kenny & kh! haha.... sometimes i cant imagine working alone, it would be rather boring to do so but yea, IAP would leave me with no choice haha. unless we all go back to OCBC to work again haha. I love it there, although sometimes or lets say i always finish work so quickly (quality hor!) that i would be left with nth to do for quite a while.


Yup, on the last day we really got to know our supervisors a whole lot more haha. They Lunched with us at Botan haha, a jap restaurant. really cool place. i still remember jiasheng was so enthusiastic in approaching the waitress! hahah!


Jiasheng: " is she from singapore?" and a whole lot more... hahah ! HE ACTUALLY ASKED HER.... the same happened at toast box LOLS!! i think the toast box waitress was thinking: " hmmm i think this guy is INTERESTED IN ME! why didn't he ask for my number?" HAHAH!!!


Very fun workin at OCBC! im gonna miss the work & the Recreational club hahah ! lols! but yea, nothing beats working with your friends hahah! cuz without them, nothings really fun anyway =D

questions answered

ooh yea, i finally made up my mind on one thing after ages of contemplation, im nt gonna be working in the next two weeks. REST is more important, hmm i sometimes wonder why i'm so indecisive about such matters.


you know sometiems i just wonder why, when your gut feeling tells you its nt right being around some people, you still do and you end up feeling hurt. i guess sometimes its the trust factor that prevents us from showing who we really are and letting our guard down, that might be the same for most of us.


but yea, i thank God for my pals that stuck with me through thick and thin.

Another friday

Todays the last day of my "internship" hahah! had a long lunch with my superiors haha. pretty fun people lols! its alot of fun working with them.


the week was great except for thurs. the day of the 5 factors. never thought i'd experience a day like that. well theres a first for everything. that day has gotta be my worst day ever experienced. the many events on thursday really set me thinking about my life right now. Is that the way i truly want to live. i find myself putting on so many masks that i forget which one is the real me.


To be honest, there are only a handful of people who have really seen me for who i am. well enough of that. That was an " emo" moment brought to you by Nick TV. thanks for tuning in.


ha, now come s the big question that i have been pondering about throughout the whole week, SHOULD I WORK AWAY MY HOLS! part of me says yes, part of me says no. i dont need the money, the experience is what i need and its good but yea, im feeling lazy after the whole thing. anw i gt until tmr to decide. not long though.


Too many questions that need an answer. Dont judge me for what you see on the surface, thats just the tip of the iceberg, the tip of the iceberg......

Life?

well i can't say this week was smashing though, pretty much ups and downs but Thank God for the week anyway! hahaha! lols my mum told me this morning while driving in the car, TGIF! Thank God its Friday haha! yea, friday is awesome.


at OCBC, the guys in my department dont get to dress down on fridays, pretty sad or maybe not. i guess its cuz they want us to look good everyday =D haha! kidding! nothing happens for a coincidence right? haha! finally we got our project done today! yays. We finished a report in 2 days lols! pretty Sweet report. wouldn't have been possible without all our efforts, great leadership as usual from jackson.


i learnt an interesting lesson today, its better to have a group with all leaders than one with only 1 leader. it might seem like nonsense but in actual fact, it does make some sense as leaders fuel the ideas and get things done faster, wheras a group with only one leader would mean all the group mates relying on that one. If you dont get it, i'd be glad to explain haha!


point is, thats how my group is haha! its not a bad thing though, we drive results hahah! really hope that the selection for IS next monday will go smooth with the company's computer which lags like mad when u refresh it.


I guess i finally understand why some guys value their career over their girls, its probably the sense of achievement and recognition that make them go for such a path instead. well then again, it wouldn't hurt to have balance of both. in fact, its better. i cant wait to drive....


many familiar faces at OCBC this time around haha. kenny's friends and i think i saw monica, dont know which floor she's working on though haha. many fun things to do there, i can't imagine working without friends. but i guess its an inevitable fact of life in the future, you have to adapt and make new friends i guess.

Friday Night FEVA!

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, its been a cruelly long week but im glad to say that FRIDAY takes the cruel out of the picture. work went on for quite a bit. well one thing i didn't expect to happen was that i'd be having a meeting in a table tennis room =D oh what fun it was haha!!


THE MAIN ATTRACTION!
Jon and I Celebrated Evan's Birthday today =D HAHAH!! It was a smashing good time out with the guys! haha...just hanging out with ur brothers is the best thing any guy could probably do, apart from your girlfriend/wife that is. if u are attached...U need to spend time with them! thats when u cut down slightly to have time for them. But hey! Life with the Bros are really fun =)
Its because theres never a dull moment.


We went to Aijisan Ramen for Dinner =D courtesy of the birthday boy. lets see.... upcoming birthday jon =D another treat ! WHEE!! then its gonna be my birthday. We actually planned on watching a movie but all the shows were scheduled at around 9+ so we decided to go to ben and jerries haha! some place i never thought we 3 would go haha!


thats where the patriotic side of us shined through... we ate the "merlion" package. i forgot the name to be exact. all i remembered was the picture of a what seemed to be merlion and the 6 ice-creams and the sweet deal. hahah!


thats where the 3 of us discovered something about one another haha! No we don't Cam whore! haha we Love taking Videos! haha! I realised that Videos are really the best means of capturing the moment, the emotions and the joy =D


Cheers and heres to many more Bros!

INTERNSHIP

HELLO! its been a pretty long time since i blogged lols! anyways, this is the day my second chance began yup. Internship at OCBC, hahah up till now i've been telling my friends and reminding them we're working for experience! not money... hahha! its pretty easy to say it before u actually do it but yea, i found it hard reminding myself of it whilst working today.

Man its the first day and im already on my toes, pressed for time and demanded for quality. thats the true pressure of working life i guess, not really temp work which is relatively less stressful and not to mention higher paying.

with so much things to grumble about and its a Mon afterall, i guess i'd never forget this one thing, that God gave me a second shot at this Job and i dont think its a coincidence cuz afterall nothing happens by coincidence when God's involved. so yea thats why im gonna do my best in my work for Him, even if i cant find anything else to motivate myself, ill still do it for Him.

its rather nostalgic coming back to this mainheadquarters of OCBC again, all the familiar faces and the past experiences which are too many too count here. So much has changed since the last time/s. well i guess one thing i can look forward to is the company of my friends =D

they are Jiasheng,Jackson,Kenny&Kaihiong. haha, Me and Jiasheng were assigned to work individually and Jack,Ken and Kh are in a team hahah. the works pretty tough for me and js today, cuz right smack at the start we gt a deadline to fufill, i never thought doing a project which is due in 2 days. Js' is like pmkt but reduced to 3days time frame...

Learnt plenty today though and i guess working for executives are pretty stressful in that as well. the Atmosphere and environment is really screaming SERIOUSNESS. I need energy and brain juice...i never thought i'd use so much brain power in a day continuously, its good training i guess.

Monday blues...well not really, its just monday rain. well Tues is another day, hopefully a more exciting one at that. i guess there are somethings i wish i din do in the past but i guess its no point regretting now, to think of it on the positive side, i wouldnt have met so many of my close buddies right now if it werent for the action/issue that happened. all im hoping is for a change, im not gonna force it. its a funny thing at that. sometimes i wonder why bother?

For those taking Prelims, Promos and exams that are coming up soon, I wish you all the best and cherish the hours and time you have. have the will and God will provide the power. when u dont feel like studying, do the opposite. don't give yourself and opportunity to look back and regret. Its alright to feel scared sometimes because of the events that might occur after those exams, but don't let it consume you but i pray that it gets you back on your feet and motivate you to do your best and study with a fresh new determination. all the best.
