Friends sleeping their time away in the office)
Finally ended my long awaited internship.
I can say its quite a long yet short journey with love hate feeling when i was leaving today.
So, here is the story of this whole journey.
Started on 25 Feb when i did not have enough rest at all.
22 Feb was the last day of my papers and i literally studied the whole night with only 3 hours of sleep everyday during my exam weeks cause i failed 2 modules for first half of the sem. and luckily, my hardwork paid off and i passed :) Right after my paper on 22, our class went for BBQ at ecp and the weekend was a staycation. It was really tiring cause you dont really sleep when you are having a staycation.
everything will be a waste.
and so, started work on that Monday where I got to wake up at 5am to see how long i should take to travel to work. Met up with my friends at the interchange and manage to meet up friends who were working in keppel. The first week was really tough for all of us cause we aint use to the timing. The queue for bus is really long everyday and we have to pay for every ride for shuttle bus if we take -,-
During all the introductions, we will take the chance to sleep.
And on the third day when i went to the department, i received my first assignments by looking at some alien drawings. I kept dozing off and kept using phone (got scolded by manager btw).
At the point, just wanna end my internship asap and always counting down the number of days.
sleeping at 7pm everyday and waking up at 5am was my daily routine. Sleeping in all the bus rides and in toilets. Cause unlike my friends office. i cant sleep openly.
On a positive side to give myself some motivation, i thought, perhaps working there can distract me from feeling empty when boyfr is overseas.
Have learnt to made healthy lunch and prefer to eat in the office with my fav playlist on.
Slowly, i get to know more and more people in my department and they are really nice people.
No politics and arguments. Always trying to make me fat by offering chocos and biscuits. Everything seems to be great except for having to wake up at 5am everyday. Soon, working there isnt for me to distract myself anymore.
Quite enjoy the time spent and going on-board was really an eye opening.
Workers working onboard are a few thousand of bangalas and you can be the only girl going onboard. Even tho there will be stares but i got used to it. Some are really kind to help hold the wires so that we can pass through without hitting it or needed to bend to cross.
slowly, i was able to party on a sat and out on a sunday straight. sleep was not really that important anymore. Able to sleep at 12 to 1 every night and i still manage to survive. But i will still crash on a sat afternoon after work and its just wasted like that. Worse is that i have to wake up to church on sunday morning and i will crash right after that too. So for the past 3 months, i dont really have a life.
Made all of them thank you cards and a small choco. Was quite a sad and weird goodbye.
Sad cause i will be missing them and they kept asking me to go back. Definitely i will, but for my FYP. haha.
weird cause some random guy decided to talk to me only on the last day of work. #Weirdo!
Overall, i learnt a lot and i enjoyed myself there.
