Celebrated Vivian's 19th on Saturday at Medz!
Mediterranean food, Marche style. Quite difficult to choose what to have cus it was all words, and no pictures. Plus, I didn't know what the words meant. Suakuuuuu.
Had pork ribs, rosti cured salmon and fish paellas with the boy. Yeah, what the hell is rosti and paellas lol.
 Twelve cupcakes for the birthday girl!  Group photo with all at dinner + the bucket of 5 weird beers that Jasper won in their bid.  Headed to Bobby's @ CHIJMES for drinks & chill after that. What a weird name for a pub. Ok short post. Will be back when there's more interesting things.

Last blogged @ 11:02 PM Am having 1.5 months of holidays now since I'm not working. Or rather, I'm committed to 1.5 months of driving lessons (yes, after more than a year of signing up for driving and passing my BTT) and sigh...
I'm on my 3rd lesson now and apparently... I'm feeling a little disappointed at how I'm progressing.
I thought it wasn't that bad after my first lesson after I was able to move the damn car.
Went for lesson today, feeling optimistic since I set goals for myself, promising not to repeat my mistakes (after an unsatisfactory 2nd lesson yesterday), but damn, I wasn't in form - stalling at traffic lights, crashing / clashing the stupid gears (and hearing sighs and signs of annoyance from the instructor & not checking my mirrors), and yes, these 2 are enough to make me feel like meh.
I HATE it when people react like this to me. I know it's all part of learning, but urghhh it makes me so discouraged and I wanna redo the entire lesson so that I can correct everything. Feels like I'm taking piano lessons all over again. Now... piano seemed easier...
My most common phrases during lessons are, "oh shit", "HOW", "orh", "don't know". Is it normal to be like this?
I tell my mama about it, but she just makes me feel like I'm stupid. Or actually, everyone makes me feel this way sigh sigh.
Frankly speaking, I'm so eager to prove everyone wrong. Like damn, I want to drive the car properly pfft.
Ok, I can't wait for my lesson next Monday.
YEAHHHH IMMA DO THIS SHIT.
DRIVING LESSONS?

I've officially graduated from VMSD after 6 long months of working there!!!
So... my whole point of extending for 2 more weeks after my internship was to go back and do the KOPIKO event since I haven't had much event exposure in my 6 months.
Well, to sum it up... It was mad tiring, but still very fulfilling. Got such a love-hate relationship with KOPIKO candies now.
So it all started off with going to the factory at Kranji to count KOPIKO, and... sticking 40,000 candies onto 20,000 flyers. And it took me / us 3 whole entire days to get this done.
 So this was what happened the night when me, Gwee, Louise, Steph & friend, Megan and boyfriend came down to help finish up the flyers, and we all stayed till 3am in the office to get this done. Coupled with beers, pizzas, kfc to last through the night. But thinking back, it was quite fun and not that bad afterall... 
So finally... after the event setup at Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza, the event started rolling~
 And this was the Green Screen Booth I was in charge of for the whole 2 days. Definitely the most popular activity at the event ;)  And the most impressive structures that I've seen at the warehouse before they were being transported here. Damn, they were so huge I could swim in them. Before:  After:  Yes, and my job involves climbing into the fish tank to arrange KOPIKO candies and get my pictures taken by all my bosses and managers and colleagues hahahahahaha.  Yeap... so I was really thankful in a way for being able to be committed to this KOPIKO project, from the initialisation to its execution, it was probably a good whole 3-4 months. - And definitely, in a way, I'm thankful to have been attached to VMSD special events team for my internship. From the entire saga of PICO withdrawing from the Internship programme, to IBC Asia not accepting me last minute, and me refusing to go to Lavender to work, finally getting into OOMPH, but transferred to VMSD Special Events after a month, I would say that I'm glad that everything happened for me to have learnt so much in the end. I have met good bosses who appreciate my help for the past 6 months, to teamies and colleagues whom really treated me as part of the company. Working life for the past 6 months has been tough... Felt like I haven't got time to do anything else. So I'm (temporarily) glad that I'm jobless now. So, goodbye VMSD, we will meet again when fate comes around. Labels: Work |
