hey! great. its been one and a half months since my last entry! haha very sorry. been qt busy.
but well, its all over!! now im rewarded with my 2-day week from this week onwards. and by 2-day week, i am saying a mon+tues week with only 1 lesson per day. MUAHAHA. i can see all the punches coming my way le. OOPS i SIAM! haha. yay!
anw, tht's the main reason why im in such a good mood today. so good mood means i blog. hehe.
not sure where to start. haha AROW perhaps? it was ermz, like more than a month ago? haha lots of preparations finally came to something substantial on the 1st of sep (sp's bday!). didn't go exactly successfully. everything was rather messy tht day, tho the event's passed for so long, im still sorry to the participants for delaying the start time and for delivering lunch late and blah blah blah...but well...i guess its amazing that the 4 of us girls managed to accomplish something like this...so kudos to the four of us! =P
saw our event featured on ny chronicle a few weeks later..haha did u all see?! haha if u din, i can show u the article...i still have it! muahaha! yup, but GASP! got groups went down staircases! OHMYGOSH, tht was how dangerous! hope not many grps did tht...aiyo...our safety measures...tsk tsk.......
oh well, eventually we still raised a sum for handicaps welfare assn, not a lot, but still money! hehe. and tht makes me happy...
aft AROW, i started concentrating more on AB005...was very sorry to edmond cos me and sp were so bz with AROW previously tht i guess we din put in our most efforts into the presentation preparation...must say we overestimated our abilities...AROW+ab005 which involves 2 presentations per week is no joke...and in my weekly schedule, still got tuition...bah....but nevertheless we had fun...ab005 classmates are acty real fun to be with...very frenly! hehe. so everything ended on the thurs b4 recess break started but aiya! edmond's plan to go ktv as a class flopped cos we went to boston consulting grp recruitment talk together in the end..hahaha talking abt tht...i haven't submitted my applicatioN! SHIT. alright shall do it soon.
haha yUp, and job applications are the talk of the town now. but im kinda sian acty to do all those. dont wanna work lar! i love being a student...(read:i love nua-ing) hahaha but well, i applied for mas for one. went for the interview which involved 3 phases: grp discussion, one-to-one interview and psychometric tests! crazy lar. i applied to mas to join some networking event only. din realise they were screening for recruits le. so well, i went for the interview. ok lar not as scary i thot. part of the reason being tht i had sp's company! yay! haha grp discussion was ok...6 ppl only so i cld talk qt a bit still..one-to-one was fine..on the spot i realised i applied for the wrong dept..but well, the HR lady was helpful..hehe..psychometric tests..i had 5..i din finish a single one..HAHA! lousy hor..too short lar the time..but, still an experience! i realised i qt good at visualising 'R's! haha
but well, i went for the networking event aft tht..and gosh did i get a shock. i thot it wld be a simple buffet-style dinner where we'll network free and easy with the different departments. BUT NO! we were allocated seats..given a full meal with appetizer, main course and dessert and seated at our tables were two staff members frm MAS who started throwing us topics abt singapore's policies...cpf and whatnots. ohmygosh. i was just crapping all the way, dont even know what i was talking abt lar. haha..
seriously...hmm, not sure if its oK to say here..but...psst psst..i acty dont wanna go mas one...AHH~ what did i get myself into sia. haha
but well, on the day of the networking event, in the morning me and sp went to meet edmond's boss who's from AIA. qt interesting what he told us...and oOPs, agn, im tempted to go into insurance...oKOK i can see my frens thinking 'aiyo next tiMe must avoid eileen le' but hahaa...aiyah. everytime i get to talk to someone related to insurance, my interest comes up then i tell myself. HMM no eileen, go work in a bank. more stable. then now. AIYO! mafan!
anw, ya lorz, so since the two things happened on the same day...i just naturally started to compare being in the insurance line and being in the public sector.......and....no prizes for guessing which im more interested in now......
hmm, anw, i was on the topic of ab005. haha yUp, had a final project which involved us making a video to present a proposal to management. and i need ur help!!! YOU! yes...Preeetttty pls??? hahaha
help me post comments to the vid below...its part of my assignment...so i'll really appreciate ur helP!! thanks lots!!
haha and i was so bored...i went to do this questionnaire thing...everyone of you who believes you are a friend of eileen, please do take the test yah..dont worry! i wont whack you if you get zero! and seriously...i dont think you will...keke. for fun lar! take the chance to know ahma better!! er. OOPS. eh...u will know why i oops-ed if u take the test...LOL. sO GO!!! click this now!
i guess when two diff ppl have two diff working attitudes..disagreements will inevitably develop...i was really kinda fed up tht day when i had to rush everything thru while i dont feel like you were bothered at all. i really worked the entire day from early morning till 11 at night and all the while hoping you wld come say, 'eh i take over lar.' u know, i wld really have felt better if i knew how to go abt doing the whole thing, but honestly, i didn't. i had only tht little bit of knowledge abt the program and i did everything in the most yuan2 shi3 way tht u wld laugh if u heard abt it (but well, u din ask either?) seriously, i was alr unhappy when i saw nothing in my email when i woke up at 7am tht day..but got even worse only when it got into the aftn and i hear nothing from you..im not sure how or what u were thinking, but im sure if i were in ur position, i wld have at least sent a msg to ask what has been done, not for my teammate but for myself. but, like u said, i guess u weren't really bothered with this since u did really well in year 1 and are thinking of slacking thru now. but, is it really just for urself when u're working in a team? i wonder for you, i know the answer for myself but well, i cant exactly change what you think since i've only just known you and well..its over in any case..and i dont think u know abt this at all...because i was so tired i cldn't even be bothered to tell u tht night..
after this, i thought abt it. well, i guess i cant expect everyone to behave in the same way. im still glad its a short working relationship but i've learnt. i made a big mistake too. really, i really shouldn't do things last min..not just because i may end up rushing thru my work. but because when i do and things turn out like tht with a teammate like tht, i feel even more terrible...
