| So this is it.I'm moving! As much as I don't want to, I have to. Anyway, visit http://www.freshlybrewedideas.blogspot.com/to get your daily dose of yours truly. I won't shut down my xanga and will be back from time to time if I manage to load the page. New year, new chapter of my life, new blog!  So here's to an awesome 2009 filled with happiness, joy & laughter as well as occasional tears. Here's to more awesome friendships, crazier times & new experiences. Here's to an amazing first year at university. Bring it on! Oh and sorry for making you all re-link me. I know how irritating that is. My sincere apologies! | | |
| Switching from the studying environment to the working environment will ensue in some kind of environment shock for most students I think. The other day I was telling my sister how the environment is just so different. Back in school/college, if classes got too boring or if I was tired from the night before, I could just drop down and sleep and nobody would say anything. But once you're working, you have to be alert or rather look alert and smart at all times.
Interning at Mindshare has been pretty cool so far. I don't have too much work to do and the environment is pretty awesome. Colleagues are pretty sweet and nice seeing as how the celebrated my birthday on my 3rd day of work. Was very touched. You can see a few pictures on my colleague- Astrid's blog.
Interning has only strengthened my belief that you really have to have passion for your job. Otherwise, it's so meaningless and going to work will feel like torture. So boys and girls, choose your jobs wisely next time! Unless you're the type of person that is easily motivated by money and doesn't really care about the job. To that I can only say- to each his own. Whatever floats your boat man!
On the other hand, I finally understand my people who work in an office like going to the gym so much! Sitting at the desk, staring at the computer 9 to 5 can seriously make one pile on the pounds. I think I finally understand the meaning of sedentary lifestyle! It's not like in school where there's so many activities to do and places to be. In the office it's just computer...meetings...more computer and more computer. 
Hmmm....there are some days I think having meaningless, repetitive, no-need-to-think punya jobs are so awesome. Because well, there are some days I'm just lazy to think and come up with ideas. Or there are some days where my brain isn't functioning all that well. And then there are other days where I think doing the same thing is so boring and not stimulating nor exciting or even challenging at all! All I can say is, I'm glad I'm still a student. Looks like once I go to uni, I'll appreciate being a student even more! After all it's the last 3 or 4 years os so before I too offically join the madness of the working world.
So this is me, taking a look at the media industry (or a small part of it at least) and seeing if it's right for me. Looks pretty okay so far! I wanna explore more of it though!

| I learnt something during the past week. Never say never. I told myself when I started Xanga that I would NEVER switch to another blog no matter how many people switched their addresses, no matter how many people told me Xanga was damn slow and my blog took ages to load. I told myself I'd never conform.
Unfortunately, today I have to eat my own words.
Now, let me explain. I can't load Xanga at home. It seems to load FINE when I'm at the office but I can't load it at home. And it's not only me that is experiencing this problem. Loads of other people are experiencing it too! Which probably explains why so many people are closing down their xanga-s and switching to other blog hosting sites.
I say this with SUCH a heavy heart. I will soon be one of them too. I will most probably be switching to blogspot. Once I get my blogspot up and running, I too will succumb and switch.
I feel so sad. Xanga was where I started blogging back in 2005 and I really don't have the heart to leave it. But what to do? If I can't load my own blog then it's quite meaningless already right?
So if ANYONE knows how I can import my old archives into blogspot.. (Is this possible? PLEASE tell me it's possible) I would really appreciate it if you could tell me how. Otherwise, the only thing I can do is put a link to xanga in my new blog.
There's 3 years plus memories here...I can't afford to lose it.
So once I do up my new blog. I will post the link here. (That is, if I can load the page.)
Btw, I'm currently interning at Mindshare, a media company. My office is situated in Menara Millenium right opposite HELP college & the immigration department. If you guys want to join me for lunch you're welcome to come coz my lunch hours are pretty flexible! I'd be super happy! Just drop me a line.
On a sadder note my sister is leaving for Australia again and I am bummed. As usual. Sigh.
And shit my boss just came in..which means I have to start my presentation soon. Shit, I am quite the nervous lo. SIGH. Wish me luck!

| Sorry my dah-lings for the delay in putting up the photos. I know I owe lots of people pics. Please bear with me for awhile la kay? I promise I'll put 'em up asap. Been super stressed until all the people at the reflexology place I go to insist I go for body massage the next time I go. They say the condition of my neck, shoulders and back is VERY bad. What to do? All this uni application shiz is making me sprout white hair whey! Anyway, catch you all after externals! Toodles till then.  | | |
