internships.

i haven't blogged in a while, yea? :p

eating a super filling lunch in front of the comp now. my mom cooked. bad timing cos i hafta go KoolWerkz after this to make my popsicles (*scream!*) and this heavy lunch is gonna make me soooo drowzy.

anw, read e blogs of 2 coursemates.. archives actually. it's really shitty when you go for internship interviews.. there's three of you (or more) but only the best one gets in, no?

i'm fortunate to have to feel that way only once.. even then, the disappointment was not that great because i was not exactly interested in the job, and also because throughout my interview i could see my interviewer was biased in her opinions of eurasians (probably one of 'em racist freaks who think chinese ppl rule singapore). i think she thought of me as some empty-headed, bird-brain student. from the moment she asked her first question i knew immediately that the company was not one i would want to work for. even the "prestige" of the company name cannot make up for the bad experience of working there...

(btw, sorry Mit, i used "bird-brain".. lol, i js realised that's like your 'name'..)

(anw damn heng la) i was actually correct abt my impression of the company. because the girl who got in (our top student? i dunno, she's on the director's list.. and as the other blogger said, she is "clever, diligent, and of course... *u*s**") told me about her bad experience working at the company..

and then you know there are some other people who are super poor thing. they don't pick "in-house" as an option for attachment but they still end up doing in-house? esp. if you need to go to KoolWerkz. it's a cool place and all.. i mean, you don't get to manufacture 40L of low-fat frozen dessert anywhere else in Sg as a student (i believe).. but the few things you learn do not compensate for having no $$.. also production time is screwed. you have to spent quite long waiting for certain processes to finish.. and it's quite inaccessible - it's in bedok and bedok is VERY accessible, but somehow only one bus goes there, maybe because it's like a factory area and somewhat on the 'edge' of bedok.. so ya, poor thing, those who have to work at KoolWerkz.

those who had to do in-house in school also damn sucky. i wouldn't like to have to eat school food during holiday period.. limited choices and all. cant rmb if they're paid.. but if they are, the sum wld be minimal. as the other blogger put it.. outside for 3 months you earn 1k plus.. at koolwerkz/inhse u will earn $0. sighhh.

aii. ok i kinda finished my lunch (sooo bloated). aii. u know i hate to eat meals with people who leave a LOT of remainders.. if you genuinely can't finish it because you are sick or something it's fine by me.. but if you pretend you can't finish it because u scared fat or some shit like this then i cannot really tolerate it. i can understand your fat fears but can you understand that there are starving people in various cities across the globe, and even in Sg?

js the other day it was raining buckets and we were trapped for a few hours, taking shelter under a business building in tampines. a scrawny man, clothes all dirty and torn, and skin all sun-burnt and withered and all literally 'scurried' past us.. he stopped in his tracks tho, when he realised there were bits of (trodden and crushed) potato chips on the dirty tiled floor.. he picked up these bits and hurriedly put them into his mouth and then scurried off again.. probably to find somewhere warm. it was freezing, i tell you.. the wind was blowing really strongly and all.

so anw, back to eating habits. some ppl also have the horrid habit of pacing themselves by you. they take little peeks at your food while you're eating and 'pace' themselves to eat always a bit less than you do. and when you're done, so are they, and there will be a lump of leftover food on their plate. i didn't realise this till a fren brought it up.. then i noticed another fren doing it. lol. it looks a bit ridiculous when you are aware of ppl doing it. anw i'm glad i don't have to experience tt for quite a while le.

blah. how did i get to talking abt eating habits? i ms be really bored.. mebbe shld get changed n get my ass to koolwerkz. aiii... long day ahead. :(
