In this short 10 weeks of intern, we will be celebrating quite a few of fellow intern's birthday. Just this Monday is Shu Xiang's 21st and late July will be Ricky and Pei Suan. Celebrating their birthday would mean no mood to work that day and it will be a play card day again. If intern lasts till October, there will be at least 5 birthdays in that month alone. Haha.

I think I played too much L4D2 already. Till now, I played about 50++ hours and compared with the others, they have about 30++ hours only. Although they are playing team fortress too but seeing my playing time of L4D2 to be so high, I know I have to stop playing that much. Anyway, now I am playing in the advanced mode already. Haha.
Just randomly thought of one year ago and recalled I am working in Changi airport at that time. Worked one month for the event and then another one and a half months for the data entry so, 2.5 months in total. Working for the event was not as fun as the lucky 7 event because there are only 2 people in a booth compared to 4 during the lucky 7 event.

The whole event is about a million dollar draw and the draw is done by manually picking up a lucky slip from a mountain of them. Of course, the person responsible for picking the lucky slip is a high ranking person (don't know his post). And that is the first time I see so many pieces of paper just lying on the ground. Such a big pile of paper and we are only supposed to choose about 5! Think too much paper is wasted.

After pouring out the paper and the draw, we keep the papers back and it as quite fun actually. We try many ways to try get as much paper into the bag as possible and paper cuts are signs that you are working haha.

What a bad day was yesterday. Many people in office have been rather sad and I really can see from their face. In my area, I think I am one of the few who is normal. The rest are sad because they can't do their project or for some reasons, moody. Funny that Angela even imo me to tell me not to be the next one to get emo. Haha.

Intern is ending, everyone is rushing to finish their project. Luckily for me, I think the most difficult part is over and now, I just have to wait for my mentor to provide me with the data before I can continue. Till then, I will be improving my code and slacking.
Really not used to see Jane like that, a bit don't know her already. Maybe, this is the real her. Haha.

Although things won't be the same as before, at least it is improving now. I can only try to be a better friend but in the end, whether she appreciates or not is another question. Haha.

Tomorrow will be a full day. Afternoon, Angela treating us waffle and milk tea. Night time, the usual 7 of us are going to eat ice cream and dinner at Tampines. Quite funny to see the 7 of us always going around together. Sometimes the Kite flying team will join us but somehow, the number of people will always get to 7.

We must move forward. Can't keep living in the past. Move On!

Been playing lots of Left 4 dead 2 this few days. Maybe too much, everyday I will play for a while. Sometimes, I will play so long that after playing, I can sleep already. Need to cut down on my playing time. But when my friend asks me to play, I seldom say no to them. Maybe I can't go online to steam too much.

Today, slacked for most of the day. But very unlucky, my mentor came in when everyone is playing cards. Then, he gave me things to do which have to be done by mid week. I think tomorrow, I have to work faster and can't play cards anymore. After this part is done, I think things will be easier and more relax already.

Tried talking to Jane today, not as good as before but also not as bad as before. Slowly ba. A new intern came in today and she is from Imperial College. Must be a very clever scholar and feel bad that she has to sit at the table which we used to put the garbage bag. That is the only table left, really too bad. Haha.

OK, I am going to try for the next week and see how it goes. Really feel pity to see things going this way.
4 more weeks to end of intern, do I enjoy this intern? I will say half half, the good are I can talk and have fun with so many people. I think I will miss playing cards in office as well the MRT trip home which at times seem so fast haha.
Now for the bad is the lack of time and sleep. Everyday have to sleep so early and wake up so early. No free day and have to work for all 5 days haha. Also, for some other reason, I cant enjoy the intern fully.
In general, I would say I have enjoyed the time in DSO till now. 4 more weeks left, let's make full use of them and enjoy the remaining time as interns together. Angela's treating us waffle and drink next Wednesday, didn't expect his dad to own Waffle's Hut.
If I am in that situation, I will be annoyed. I don't know what happen in the first week but I hope everything will be fine.

Interns had our outing at SP graduate guild and we did bowling there. Not my first time in SP but first time spending so much time inside and having a good look at how the poly looks like. I have to say it's very big and lots of facilities around. There are also lots of student activities and the school looks happening.

Then, we went for bowling. My first time seeing someone who finds the number 5 house ball heavy. It is the lightest but I can see she really is tired after just one game. The ball almost drop from her grip once. Think she don't have the strength to hold the ball anymore.

During the last game, at the second last throw, I got a strike. For the last throw, I threw and hit about 5pins but somehow the system consider it as a strike and I got the second strike by system fault! Threw the ball again and strike again! First time getting the turkey, although a bit play cheat haha.


This picture too small. But I lazy to edit. Anyway, my score is 128, my personal best.
