Getting to know the world, one step at a time.

Hey there!

So.... Third week of my internship is finally over! At first it seems like time crawls at a snail's pace, but now that I'm starting to get used to working life and also the environment and getting to know the people there deeper, well, I kinda wish time would pass slower! Hehe. I can foresee that I will be missing this chapter of my life pretty bad! ^^

My social awkward period is finally over (I guess and hope so haha) and no longer have to endure silent lunches! I'm starting to be able to grasp the characteristics of each and everyone of em, so that I can know when they prefer to be silent and when they're talkative, and which topic suits which person. Oh and talking about silent lunches, its at least way better than having lunch alone! I never dare to try having lunch alone outside, cos it feels so awkward sitting alone and munching your food. Lets say today's vegetable is exceptionally fresher, or the meat taste yummier, there's no one to tell! I would feel so pathetic and would rather just take away and eat it at home in front of my computer screen instead. It would be much comfortable! But there's always the first time, particularly during internship where you part with all your friends into a totally different and strange society. 

That was the first week of my internship. Some of my fixed lunch companions have trainings, some busy, and  I'm not sure where are the remaining people as they normally gather at the lobby, and I see none. I chose to go have lunch myself as they probably also went other places for makan. Lucky I brought my own car, else I would be starving! And having lunch alone...I opted.......

Yup McD! Lol. Well I know, maybe for some people out there, having lunch alone is a norm since not everyone's gonna stick around in workplace, unlike in university or high school where you always eat with bunch of people and chat over meals! I know, its perfectly fine to have lunch alone. But I couldn't really get over myself, even McD also failed to register any taste to my brain! Haha. Eating alone is miserable! And from that onwards, I started to bring snacks, biscuits and tea to my office, just in case! ;)

First and second week were very boring, so I used to doodle on the unwanted papers to pass my time. Seriously have nothing to do besides reading training modules that the company had prepared for new comers. Imagine you have to read stuff off the computer screen for 3/4 hours straight! That is super boring! And you know, I could never stand boredom, I  even sleep at Sunday sermons! I don't mean to say the sermons are boring, but when you have to listen intently to a speaker in front on an early morning for an hour, with nothing to do, yeah that challenges my limit lol. Extreme sleepiness will overwhelm me and you'll see me nodding through the prayers. I can get sleepy really easy! Til I suspect that I have some kind of sickness or high suger levels that make me sleepy! But I seldom sleep during lectures, maybe its the intense silent atmosphere. Hmm. Well neways, I have my solutions to tackle it!

Voila! Sweets and handsfree! I don't really like minty sweets but they're extremely useful to counter sleepiness, so that explains the Halls sweet. :)

Working literally sucks all the life outta you. You wake up, go to work when the sun rises, go home when the sun sets, dinner, rest awhile and its time to sleep. So weekends are vry important! Cant waste a good ol' weekend! So we've kinda into mountain climbing recently! Its fun, allows us to close to the nature and also able to stay in shape, all wrapped in a package! How good is mountain climbing! Alright, done with promoting the sport, so we hiked up to the Indian temple mountain (more like a hill, given its height) located nearby. Its a quite popular climbing spot for the neighbourhood nearby. This hill is kinda a beginner level. Gunung Angsi and Brogah hills are next on our list! Dare not challenge Mount Kinabalu yet lol.

 The hilltop scene. Mountain climbing is so fun! ^_^

'Cept for mountain climbing, we went to explore the gyms nearby too! But was quite disappointed with the gyms in Seremban, some are expensive and their equipments are a lil advanced, focus on muscle building rather than healthy exercise, and others are very affordable but don't even have treadmill! Sigh.

Alright, time for mountain climbing again! Have a great weekend guys, adieus! x

Internship

Hi there!
Well, I've been having my intern for 2 weeks now, tomorrow would be the start of my third week in my company! Working life literally sucked all the life outta you during weekdays! Unless you're really a party animal and able to survive without sleep, and that you can fork out your sleeping time to parteh. Otherwise, you seriously don't have the time (and energy) to play like you used to in college. Hmm that's the price you need to pay when you step out of teenage life and join the work force!

My work starts at 8am, which means I have to wake at 630am if I want to bath lol. Its been long since I have to wake before the sun rises! First week was so tiring for me to adjust, but yeah as time goes I'll have no problem with it for sure! Hehe. Now that school holidays come to an end, I have parents for company! Dad and mom normally wake at 530am to prepare for school hehe. So grateful that I'm able to have my intern here at hometown! When you go to a brand new place, it takes time to adjust (yeah unless you're the type of social people that can simply blend in to any society). The first step was hardest. And the first week was indeed hard for me! I'm super shy type of person, and I won't dare to approach people first.. Therefore, at times I'm quite depressed and have low self esteem cause of the social problems arised at my workplace =( But! When I came home to my cozy home, with parents and sis around me, my worries are all gone and I'm a happy girl again! Can't imagine if I have to have intern elsewhere, have no friends at workplace, and come home with no people to console and accompany me.. how sad is that?

Internship is like an eye opener to us. It allows us undergraduates taste what it's like in future to be a full time employee, to work under boss, sometimes under pressure, and to mingle around with all kinds of people! The society around you is no longer consist of same aged people, they're from all walks of lives, grown ups, different perspective of life and different backgrounds. That's how it'll be like in the real world. I'm seriously glad that I still have 2 sems before I'm officially a proud graduate. I will surely enjoy the remaining time in uni and be with all my favourite buddies before we part! Oh its 10minutes to 11! Time to sleep! Lets hope for the best for the coming weeks! Good night!
