my desk!

finally "pushed" myself to take the initiative and signed in into blogger. Been really really ~~lazy~~ and tired these few days due to waking up everyday at 630am, having to take an hour of a looooooooonnnnnnnnggggg bus ride to changi, to STARE at a laptop's screen for the next 9 plus hours of the day and take a damn loooooooonnnnngggg journey back home, and being the time where EVERYONE goes home, the time taken to reach home would be longer as there would be traffic jams everywhere.. zzzz

supervisors finally back from the academy (he teaches there) and that means that I will be getting assignments! Gotta present a flowchart and a mindmap to him tmr to show him how much I know abt the dept i was posted to so as to progress "further". Thursday would be a trip for me to the academy itself to see hows the trainings like for the air traffic controllers and hopefully nxt week, I would get my pass and be allowed to go into the control tower of changi airport! :D

Gotta sleep real soon! Been sleeping early since the day attatchment started (like latest 12am!) unlike b4 where i can easily ton till 4am b4 taking my own sweet time going to bed and slacking all the way till late afternoon where i can take my time to wake up.. (i MISS those timesssss.. hahaha)

sleepysleepy!!!

zzz..

in less than 5min, it'll be the end of the first day of my internship. Well in case you don't know, i've been posted to the CAAS (Civil Aviation Authority Of Singapore) which is located at changi airport, terminal 2.

well, i've been posted into the Aerodrome and Air Navigation Services (ANS) Inspectorate (AAI) department (haha. i knowww, its damn longggg. lol!) where what the people in here do is something to make sure that there are no accidents going on "up there". its like a traffic police on the road, but for this, its for the skies. this dept also specializes in making/renewing/replacing the licences of the people working in the control tower.. and i'm supposed to do smth abt this licence thingy (i gotta read up a whole stack of paper juz to understand what is going on here and most importantly, what i have to do a few weeks from now!)

i'm VERY excited about the things i'm going to learn and do here, but most importantly, i've presumed that the trips around the airport and even a trip to the control tower of the airport is going to be the BEST! reallly realllllly can't wait! :D

although i'm the only intern posted to this dept, i'm glad that there are good and funny people (or shld i start calling them colleagues?) here to help me especially brenda whos brought me around the area and introducing me to everything and everyone in this huge building (which i said looks like a hospital.. -.-" heh)

lastly, if u're wondering how come i can blog, the dept has actually loaned me a laptop thats actually meant for my work in the weeks to come, so now having nothing to do, i'm blogging. haha :x but dun think having a laptop is good stuff k! i can't have access to certain websites and can't log into msn messenger.. ): luckily i still have websms (heh)

i'm so gonna bring my earpiece to work tmr! plug it in into my laptop and start surfing "imeem"! :D hopefully i can fulfil the job entrusted to me here! update again soon! ((:

went to ubin today! :D

met up with jingting, lawwei, weizhen, jolene, yongwoei, mark, raphael and ignatiaus (new eupho player) at tampines interchange b4 buying bread and taking bus all the way to changi village! Reached the jetty at around 11plus (we met at 10am) and immediately got onto the boat over to ubin! ((:

ubin hasn't changed much from the last time i went there (like.. ten years ago?? okok.. not that long.. but somewhere there lar.. haha) other than weird signs like "Is it REAL? Bikes for $2" signs and signs with ~~mas selamat's~~ face on it, nothing changed much.. still as ulu as ever! heh. rented bikes from that shop that had the sign "Is it REAL" and found out that the bikes were actually NOT $2.. it was kinda like a business strategy u know.. attract customers in only to realise that the answer for the sign is "NO". anyway, we rented their bikes despite getting "cheated" and rented bikes at $6 for the WHOLE DAY! At least its still reasonable lar..! haha.

the paths in ubin aren't actually bicycle-friendly.. upslopes can juz spoil ones day when u're juz abt to have fun gg downslope.. haha! ohh yea.. did i mention that tourist visit ubin to feed the mosquitos there? Once u stop for even one second, at least FIVE to SIX mosquitos will be seen on your body alrdy! after cycling for like godknowshowmanyhours, we finally reached a house where this old man was living all on his own (uhh, we stopped cos he sold drinks) ended up, we chatted with him and he took us around his place showing us the different pets he reared (like a wild boar named "jack" and his rabbits (and not forgetting the babies which made us all go crazy!) he was really a very nice old man.. funny too (: took pictures with him b4 we left, shall upload soon when i take them from lawwei after he uploads them on his flick-R! LoL! Mr old man told us to visit chek jawa so we did.. went there after that. i tell u, the view at chek jawa is SPECTECULAR! we walked the rainforest trail and stuffs, walked on the bridge on top of the sea and climbed up the watch tower! Every moment was breath-taking and it was simply the best part of this whole trip! :D

at the end of the cycling trip, it was already 4pm plus (lets see.. we cycled for like.. FIVE hours!?) we sat down at one of their shops there and drank coconut juice and slacked there, talking nonsense and juz laughing out loud.. left the island around 5plus and ate famous nasi lemak from changi village hawker centre, after that was parkway's arcade then back home! :D

shall upload pictures soon when i get them! :D

this week has been pretty packed up from band chalet (monday-tuesday), outing with bearbuilders (wednesday), chinese orchestra concert (thursday) and going out on friday. today (sat) and tomorrow (sun) would be equally busy and of course tiring cos i'll be working! just see how busy mr matthew can be.. hahahaha!

sorry people about the lack of updates though!

Band Chalet
Day 1
met up with amanda first b4 heading down to downtown east to meet up with jolene where we had subway for lunch. (if i'm not wrong, that shld be my first time eating subway :p) after that we decided to look for the chalet to put our bags b4 deciding again what to do.

Room no: 2226
Location: third floor, all the way to the end..!

looking for ONE room seemed to take forever lar! hahaha! finally managed to locate the room, went in and saw that jingting, raphael, samuel, lawwei, weizhen, kenneth and cynthia were alrdy there, seems that they have alrdy been in there since sunday night and were now playing cards while waiting the band members to arrive. slacked for awhile then went to collect the bbq stuffs together with lawwei, weizhen and kenneth. cynthia fetched us there and back! (: funny things happen on the way there, not forgetting some "unforgettable" ones :x jokes and laughter filled the entire of cynthia's car! i think if i were the driver, i would alrdy have laughed my head off and met with an accident somewhere lar! :x brought the food items back, placed them in the fridge then headed to "Cheers" to buy ice and a lighter (amazing how we could actually forget to bring a lighter for a bbq!! LoL!)

started the fire downstairs with kenneth at abt 4pm and bbq-ing started almost on time! (: we had satay, chicken wings, otah, sausages, etc.. more laughter and fun while bbq-ing for the rest ((: took a break after idunnohowlong and went to play arcade and pool. only managed to play for awhile and after that headed back to the chalet where the rest watched "game plan" and i was behind playing with jingting's psp (cos i watched the show b4..) after that played card games like indian poker where the person with the lowest number card gotta drink.. cruel game.. haha! :x played till quite "early" then went downstairs with jolene and amanda to the bbq pit to see if theres anymore food. jingting and raphael were alrdy there. ended up talking downstairs.. went up only when jingting and amanda started complaining that they were being feasted by mozzies. haha! continued chatting outside at the balcony until slowly everyone went to sleep..

Day 2

"woke up" when kenneth pulled open the curtains.. (damn bright..! ><) lazed through the morning after that until the room service people came in to check that everythings in place b4 heading to subway (again) for breakfast. went to the arcade after breakfast cos amanda wanted to "challenge" mark to ddr.. then after that it was home after that.. took bus with amanda and samuael back to hougang.. zzz

Outing with Bearbuilders! ((:

frm left: jiaqi, sabrina, jessica, yeeling, and ME! :D

went ice-skating with the bearbuilders from the flyers~! (: met at serangoon station and headed to ps for lunch at yoshi b4 heading down to jurong to ice skate! skated till both of my legs suffered blisters! (ouch ouch! ><) but nonetheless, i had fun with them! (: can't wait to see them always at work! ((:

Chinese Orchestra Concert

went for co's concert in sch! i muz say that they are really on time and juz by seeing their coordination with each other juz awed me. this years concert was on par with the one they had last year. the only things that made this concert different from the previous years was that it had special performances like dancers accompanying them in their pieces and that there was this face changing performance too! really really nice! worth the money and time! (: supper at prata shop after that with the people who went, jingting, jasmin, weizhen, hilyah, thomas and jade (who appeared somewhere after the concert. ha! :x)

*phew!* i actually made it through! LoL! hooefully picturesss will be uploaded once i get them..! off to work now! :D
