The sad life of an intern

Hey'all! Before I start talking about my internship, lets just take a moment to acknowledge my #ootd on the main page of stylexstyle. LOL! Go click on the "love" button if you have nothing to do, haha...

-----------------------------------------

Ok so anyways, I know I haven't been updating properly for a very long time, well basically I had exams and then followed by my internship thus the lack of time for updates, or maybe I was just lazy

Exams was pretty much a hellish period for me, and I'm sooo not looking forward to getting back my results cause I swear I'm damn scared that I might forward module :s

Well moving on... I started internship for about 2 weeks till date, and I'm currently interning at Aesthetics Marketing Asia; basically a company that deals with aesthetics machines such as those that you'll normally see at spas and what not, as well as certain pharmaceutical products. I was so damned over not being able to get the internship jobs that I really wanted cause I did decide to try out and source on my own at the very last minute, I swear I had shitty luck. And as for the current company I working for now, this wasn't my first choice either; my first choice (amongst the designated list) was a japanese skincare company, but I heard they backed out the very last min :(       #whatshitluckIhave

So basically I'm a marketing intern at my current job, like on the very first day, we were split into teams of 2 and le boss just threw us 2 different products for each group to be in charge of the marketing proposal. Its like doing marketing project all over again, but much more in-depth because we are suppose to really treat this as our own business, and must liaise with the relevant PR companies, work out the budget and sales figures and all that blah. Honestly this wasn't what I was expecting; I thought we will be more of working under a supervisor that could bring us through step by step, so its like we can learn as it progress, instead of just being thrown into the deep end and learning how to stay afloat. But anyways I shan't complain too much in case my boss sees this (nah just joking), more of like at least the interns here have more freedom on the job since its like project work, and we can go out and do field study or conduct survey so the system isn't so rigid. Oh but how I wish I could do work from home though cause it takes me like a freaking 1h30mins just to travel to work everyday! Rawrrr

Say hi to my fellow interns: Angeline, Karen and me! You must be wondering where's the mysterious last guy. Well Jasper left early that day (and I would admit I wouldn't know how to approach him to take photo together even if he was around LOL). Karen and I are working on the same project btw, a slimming product- I think they should totally sponsor me some!

My "work desk", ok actually all the interns work in the conference room cause the office no space.
And my lunch of broccoli, salmon, spinach, sweet potato. Tryna be healthy yo!

I actually cooked a week's portion of it, wasted soooooooo much time, but in the end my  "diet" only lasted for like a day, cause it was so troublesome warming and preparing the food in the frigging morning without being late for work. 

The "view", more like people looking at us

Angeline's Pocky. So cute right? but it costs like freaking $2.70, and just tastes like normal vanilla pocky

Snack that I thought was around 100+ cal per packet, ended up each pack had 2 servings so each pack is like 200+ cal. WTF?! #fatdieme

A beautiful sunset that I managed to capture one day while leaving work. This was at Eunos MRT

The day we snuck out to do survey, brunched at Orchard central and there was a model casting on.
Geez I wish I was half as goodlooking as them, or maybe to be as tall will do

EWF char siew burger which honestly tasted disgusting with the freaking 3 layers of meat

I think through this internship, I've FINALLY realised how lucky it is to be a student, or maybe just what I do not like about a job. I know for sure I'm not someone that can work in a very rigid environment, I don't want to work in a confined environment whereby all you do is to stare at a computer screen and stay at your desk the whole day. 

Hopefully I can work in a place that's very free and easy, promotes creative thinking and flexible. Thinking wayyyy ahead of time again but who doesn't wanna work in a company that focuses on workers' welfare? (aka Google)

Okie that's all for now, and I think I would be able to update more regularly cause some days my work is pretty slack.

4 more weeks till the end of internship: YAY!

which also means the start of school: NOOOOOOOOO!!! :(

Hi, could we be friends?

Don't you all have that one friend that you just have that gut feel that you two could develop a closer bond to become a bestie of sorts? Well I'm not talking about a relationship here, but more of friendship.

I mean yea they might only be mere acquaintances till date, but you do get the feeling sometimes that you could develop this into a much deeper friendship.

The both of you share similar interest, likes and dislikes, (which is especially important if you have a very unique hobby that is not shared by many). You hit off from the very start, and despite not knowing each other well, you do not sense any tinge of awkwardness between.

You want to be more than just a familiar face, though you've already known the other party for months.

You make the first step, you try to talk, it all goes well. But the response just seems something that's more of being cordial and polite.

You try to set a meeting, but it was evaded. Once, twice, thrice. Maybe it was a hint. You're disappointed, because you know it isn't easy to find someone you can clique with, with similar hobbies and a good personality. Friends to you are very important because you depend on them, and hope they will always be there for you, to share your joys and sorrows.

All in all, maybe the person was just being nice to begin with, as how he would be to everyone else.
