World’s Coolest Intern with Standard Chartered Bank

Okay, technically, i am considered a graduate, with a little over 4 months of working experience. So the word 'intern' brings back some aweful fond memories. Having said that, i just couldn't resist this cool opportunity from Standard Chartered. Take a look below and i bet you're gonna start writing your own entries too!

Standard Chartered Bank is on the lookout for the ‘World’s Coolest Intern’ to join the Breeze mobile banking team in Singapore. If Tweetdeck and Facebook are the first things to greet you in the morning and the last things you say good night to, you’re exactly the type of person they’re looking for!

Curious to know what’s in store? It’s nothing short of impressive:
- A 6-month internship programme with total remuneration of SGD30,000
- Perks includes training on social media and online engagement from Standard Chartered’s esteemed partners

SGD30k for 6 months for an intern job??!! You have got to be kidding me! That's like SGD5k a month. Okay, okay, money aside, I'm absolutely sure i fits into the facebook-ing criteria (To my bosses at work; no, i don't facebook at work!). It's an automatic ritual that i've got to do every night. Online, open mozilla and pops, without me realising it, my fb is on the browser. I am however, not a 'stalker' on fb. I don't stalks people's profile but i enjoy looking at people's pictures (especially those silly childhood photos) and post silly comments on my friends' walls.

I am cool enough to join this program because i am cool. Or so i think. I'll let you be the judge. I'd say i am spontaneous, decisive, works hard and play hard too! Hey, there must be a balance in life isn't it?

Spontaneous. Let's start with deciding to drive up to Genting spontaneously for a 2 hours 'mamak' sessions at 12am! One phone call, and 10 minutes later, me and 3 other girlfriends were on our way up to Genting. The funniest part was, none of us knew how to get there! We were ALL not locals (not from KL at least), all females and i was driving my small little kelisa. I must stress that it wasn't as reckless as it sounded at that moment. We just had a stressful week packed with finals and assignments, so when it was finally over, we just had to go somewhere. But, we ended up in Genting safely!

Decisive. It's not hard for me to make a decision. I usually do that in my group of friends. Where to eat, what to do, where to go etc. I can finish shopping in a five levels shopping mall in Bangkok (Platinum Mall) for 3 hours but still ended up with at least 5 dresses. I do however find it hard to pick that perfect man in my life.

Work hard and play hard! That's my motto. I've always had that in my mind. When i study, i make sure i study really hard. And when i party, it's gonna be hell of a party! I used to study for 8 hours straight,7 days a week. When i say study, i really mean just-sit-down-and-study-and-do-nothing kind of study. No handphones, radios, TVs and computers allowed. Locked doors and a big bottle of water. The same goes to work. I make sure my task is completed before going home and even if that means staying up in the office till 11pm.

Play hard. This is by no surprise, the easiest of the lot. After a long and arduous examination week, my friends and i will hit the club until 3am, followed by a monopoly session in a friend's house for 2 hours and a morning dimsum and more chit chats for breakfast! We'd usually hit the sack at 11am. XD

I've not achieved the ultimate coolness in my own judgment. I've yet to bungee jump (or possibly sky diving) and travel around the world. But joining this program would be super cool too. Definitely increase coolness by a few thousands mana points. ;)

Goodbye Gli Azzurri

What an agonising match yesterday. And if you havent knew this,

Italy - Slovakia: 2-3

So devastating. I was watching it with my shirts pull over my head during the first half cos it was just so frustrating! And when it was 2-0, in the second half, all hopes were gone. Seriously, the way Italy played yesterday was so uninspiring. Even Pirlo coming in on the 56th minute wasn't enough to save Italy. The only time i felt Italy can get through was when Quagliarella qualise 2-2 in 80th minute but was ruled offside. Bad call on the referee. It was too close of a call to be honest. But Quagliarella really fought back during the final minutes when all others have given up. He was superb yesterday, which is why i think Lippi shouldn't bench him in the first 2 matches. Iaquinta and Pepe have been so disappointing yesterday.

But off all, the saddest thing was to see Cannavaro goes off in such a manner. His last WC :(
What a great career he has had. My favourite defender ever. Undeniably the best defender during his time (I was too young to know Maldini and the likes, but Cannavaro deserves to be in their league, if not better).

Quagliarella first WC and he was the goal scorer. How devastating for him. Had to be comforted by Cannavaro who put up a strong front as a captain for his team.

Another fresh player, i believed it was his first WC too, Maggio. Again, Cannavaro was the big brother for them.

Totally breaks my heart when i see this. Such a great hero. Cannavaro exiting his last WC in tears T.T
In front of his team, he had to be strong but behind the curtains, he was truly truly shattered.

Cannavaro the hero.
Hope to see him again as a coach or staff in the Azzurri team 2014. He will be missed :(

ARGH!!!!!!!

T.T

Pendrive kena Trojan....everything inside is gone...
i need to do my assignments again...
all my lab reports, evrything from semester one till now...everything is gone!!!!!

All my hard work for assignments...and i need to pass them up next week!!!

Wa....I wanna cry now....

I'm sorry

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I hate love songs

i freaking hate love songs.
Dont ever send me any.
I'm so sick of them.

Terrible mood.

i'm sorry if you people are offended by my terrible mood these few days.
i'm sorry if i scolded you for no reason or if i cursed at you for just a tiny matter.
i'm sorry for being such a terrible friend.

I hope this wont last long.

This is killing me.

I don't know how long i can hold on to this.

I hope i'm not making a mistake.

I'm going to let him go.

I'm guilty

It’s all my fault.
I wish the person lying on the bed now is me, not him because I can’t stand this guilt.
I wish I had never asked him to join us in Pyramid.
I wish I had never asked him not to take bus there, and then all this would not happen.
I wish I had agreed to his request to send me back, and then he would at least slow down.
It’s all my fault.

A Series of Unfortunate Events

Dated 5th Oct 2006

Event No 1: Accident
I took off early at 8.30 am to my friend’s house in Kelana Jaya. Stuck in traffic jam as expected. Then, even with the help of a map, I got lost there. Called my friend for help. Then, she came and brought me to her house. Purpose of going to her house was to ask her for help to buy things for my sister. So, once I reach her place, she brought me to the shop but we ended up buying nothing because the things are too expensive! On the way back home, her car got hit by another car right in front of my eyes. My car was behind her car as I didn’t know the road back so, I had to trail her. Luckily, it was a minor accident. The man who hit her car paid her. Right after he went off, the same man, hit another car also right in front of my eyes. Yup, the same person! What happened to him and the other car I don’t know because I didn’t want to stay and block the traffic.

Event No 2: Lost and Found
After the accident, I went back on my own as my friend had to go to her college. Got lost again in Sunway. The road changed totally compared to the last time I went there which was like a month ago. Finally found my way out after 20 minutes of turning around, but got stuck in the after-office-traffic jam for another 20 minutes.

Event No 3: Tyre puncture
Got out of the jam and was gleefully cruising on the federal-subang highway. Just right before the subang toll, a Stupid nail punctures my car tyre on the stupid toll. Stopped at the side of the road and saw a huge nail on the front tyre. I figured out that the tyre can last till I reach home. So, I drag it till I reach home to Shah Alam. Thank god my mum was asleep and dad just came home. Thank god dad didn’t scold or lecture. Quickly ask dad to help me and he fix it before the lion roars. Close call.

Event No 4: Burst
My house toilet was almost flooded because of a pipe burst. A plumber came and changed it but I had to clean up the mess as I’m the one at home with my parents. Damn it, the toilet hasn’t been washed for more than a week as we hardly use it.

Event No 5: Gone….
My 20 years ciku tree was cut down to make way for bro’s car park. 20 years….the tree was even older than me. It was planted by my late grandma and dad decided it’s time for it to go. No more ciku, no more shade, no more memories of Ah Ma...

So, there you go. A series of unfortunate event, all in one day.

Happy Birthdays!!

It was 10.30pm on the 26th when i received the first birthday sms. Then my phone stopped ringing. Even after 12.00am it still did not ring. So, i was a bit dissapointed. I was doing my maths, so, i didn't bother to check my HP (cos it did not ring!). When i finally did, it turns out tat my hp was on silent and msg inbox was full. And tat was already 12.45 am..LOL

So, for those who wished me, thanks a lot for remembering my birthday. I really feel so thankful to know that i have so many friends that care for me. Really 'kan tong'

Anyway, happy birthday to Elaine, Xin Ee, Garry Ee (27th sept)
happy birthday to Shiau Mei (26th), to Sze Thin (23rd) and to
Grace , Kok Zhen Yi, Wilkinson, Julian ( 28th)

So many people were born in sept, especially on the 27th..hehe
Anyway, we had a party just now with all my girl friends and it was so fun! I've never taken so many pictures in a day before! Haha...feel like a model..Although not many came but it was so nice...we chit chatted and cracked silly jokes, teased each other..lol, FUN!
It was a blast, too bad someone had to sit in the loo the whole day and can't attend this party. Haih...but i bet u had fun doing ur 'cake' in the toilet..wahaha..right jian ming?

Anyway, thanks a lot people! It surely is one of the best birthday i ever had.

Me, Sue San and Elaine.

Condolences, Eric

This year is definitely not a good year. Firstly, my grandma past away, then my friend’s father passes away yesterday. I just got to know it today and my whole class went to the funeral during school hour. Yup, we skip class just to see how he was doing.

You see, our friend, Eric is such a nice and wonderful guy. Everybody loves him for who he is. He’s funny, helpful, responsible and reliable. He’s the school vice captain (he should have been the captain considering the work he has done) and has so many other roles in school. I guess it is proper to say that he’s the most popular guy in our school.
It’s so cruel of God to do this to him right at this time. STPM is just 3 months away. And he’s the eldest son in the family. He has such a huge responsibility on his shoulder. Pity him. I really feel sorry for him.

The rest of this post has been deleted due to personal matters.

Sun Burnt!

NEVER forget to put on sun block
Read: NEVER

That’s one thing I learnt from the trip to Port Dickson. Although we (there were 22 of us from the Form 6 Society) were only there for 2 days but the extent of our sun burn was as if we were there for years! Really, I’m not exaggerating at all. Just take a look at my face and you’ll know. It’s red like roasted pig! When you have pig, it’s cute but when you have a roasted pig, well….it’s roasted, it won’t look nice! (But it would taste delicious though…teehee...)
It was my entire fault for being lazy to put on sun block and thinking ‘Nah, It won’t be that bad’. But it was really that bad. The sun was exactly on top of our heads and it was >37°C.
*I bet you people are saying ‘Serve you right!’

But the trip was worth it. Mainly because everything was free and we didn’t even have to pay for our own food! It was fully paid by the Society (yea, I know, damn rich, isn’t it?!)
We really honestly had fun. Everybody was in that ‘holiday mood’, we were so crazy, especially the guys. They were monster eaters. Yeah, what else can u call a bunch of guys (12 of them) who can eat 400 satay sticks, barbequed chickens, ketupat, and meatballs in less than 1 hour? Monstrous act!!! AND they were not any kind of monster but monster-sakai-water. Sakai-water as in they’ve never seen water before! Imagine, swimming in the morning, then afternoon and then gets up in the middle of the night to swim again! Oh yeah, they went to the beach in the evening as well. We, girls were like ‘Where do they come from again? From the deep forest?’
Weird fellas!

Then at night, while some of the guys were asleep, one guy went to brush his teeth and spitted out his salivary toothpaste onto their sleeping friend’s faces!! But only one guy did that special ‘salivary toothpaste’. The others were saner; they used just toothpaste to paint on their friend’s faces. But it was equally disgusting.

We talked and crapped a lot! But the talks were fun and genuine.
On the whole, it was fun ONLY IF it’s a short trip. There wasn’t anything much to do in PD except playing in the beach. By the third day, you’ll probably run out of things to do.
As for the pictures of the trip, I’ll post it as soon as someone uploads it on friendster (then, I can grab it!)

Car wreckage

(suspicious) Accident in Shah Alam......my poor saga

bad luck!

Waaaa….
What a bad day…Woke up early this morning to go to school and everything went fine until my car got jam on the highway in Klang. I was driving an automatic saga and then on the highway, I speed up to 90, suddenly the car cant changed to 5th gear and that’s when tradegy struck. Cant change to 5th gear means I still can drive but gotta drive under 90 right?
but NO, that’s not the case, the car cant even changed itself to 1st gear, which means when I stop at the emergency lane on a flat lane, the car cannot move AT ALL. Even when I changed to reverse gear, the car didn’t even move an inch!
What to do? It was 7 am and more people are using the highway to go to work AND yesterday, the NKVE bridge collapse, forcing people from klang to use the highway I was stuck in…
I called my dad and he can only come an hour later…so, I waited for my dad and the mechanics to come.

Gosh, the car JUST got out of workshop yesterday because I had an accident two weeks ago. That particular accident happened in Shah Alam where the car in front of me, a proton Gen2 stopped suddenly and I managed to stop in time. But then this Honda Jazz who was behind me didn’t keep a distance, so, it bang me and I bang the car in front. Stupid Honda Jazz, the driver was a Malay women and when she got down from the car, she said “in my 15 years of driving, this has never happen before”. I was so angry at her cos she meant that I was wrong! Stupid Mak Cik!!!! I was quite suspicious of the whole accident because just right after 5 minutes of accident, a bunch of mechanics and a few tow trucks were already there! And they claimed they are from Sri muda, Kota kemuning. These places are at least 15 minutes away from that place!

Sigh….anyway, all these events really taught me that driving a car is not as easy as it looks.
