Welcome to my blog. There's nothing wrong with my name. I'm just a girl, struggling to keep up in the rat race. If you think you know me, read my blog and think again. I'm imperfect and i'm lovin it. I'm creative in my own way. I'm the only witness and only person who can judge my life.

- Internship -


Hi peeps...
this post took much longer to be out than i originally planned... 
been kinda busy settling down and stuff lately...

So...
as the title goes..
and in case you still havent know...
i had an internship with ING for 3 months...
and ING is an insurance company...
i was doing admin kinda work at their HQ at Jalan Raja Chulan...
was placed at procurement division...
 
honestly speaking i was a little bit not so looking forward for the internship at first...
because of all the scary stuff people said to me...
some told me internship is like a total hell when they gives you the least money but the most work...
and also almost everyone said how dangerous and scary KL is...
and how unreliable the public transports in KL are...
fyi i have never used public transport in KL until i started my internship there...
and i am particularly poor at knowing my direction and going to places...
so just the idea of working in KL and traveling alone really do turn me off alot...
  but thank God i survived the 3 months and was safe throughout...
=D

As for work related...
nothing too technical i would say..
but i did learnt a lot of useful skills to do with the corporate world...
and most importantly...
i've get to know a lot of nice colleagues...
from my divison and others...
whom all treated me super well...
am super blessed...
 
My work station =)
with some colleagues in my division.. celebrating bday for one of the guys... 

the small bday party...
eating a SUPER cheesy cake >.<
Merra... a super nice girl...
Mallika... my supervisor...
Me Me Me ♥
And the most touching thing!!!
they had a (sort of surprise) farewell lunch for me...
it's super funny...
because they've been sneaking around having small talks on something for days...
which is very strange...
cause most of the time they will chat kinda loud in the office...
and my divison is not that big...
so i heard a lil bit of this and that occasionally...
started to get suspicious...
and one of my colleagues who sits just right behind me...
who keeps calling to catering company with all the details.... 
 and there's one day that few of them were having a discussion at the division table with super soft voice...
and all of them kept quiet when i passby...
so by picking up a lil bit of info here and there i figured something...
and one fine day my supervisor was whispering something to my manager...
and after that i heard him saying...
'of course must tell her... if not she MC or on leave then how?!!!'
and soon after that i received an email saying...
'Dear all, we will be having a division lunch this friday to farewell MeiYen, please block your calender'
so that confirmed my guessing..
but the awkward thing is...
they continue to whisper to each other even after i was told about the farewell...
so for that few days in office...
i am not sure whether i should talk about that or not...
>.<
 
 
part of the food...
 mine...
=)
My farewell gifts...
Opening the wrapper...
the gifts...
A better view of the gifts... it's the thoughts that count!
=)
colleagues from another division..
outside my division... look very fat >.<
and since i really had a good time working there...
i decided to do something nice to my colleagues in return...
so this explained the muffin from last blog post...
part of the ingredients...
before baking...
fresh from oven...
the best muffin!!!!
nephew volunteered to help with the wrapping...
the muffins... ♥
the thank you cards...
another thing that really touched me...
days before i went back to ipoh after i finished my internship...
my niece gave this to me...
on the envelope... fyi... puei yee refers to me...
and there's 3 cards inside from nephews and niece...
from my niece.. drawing of me... puei yee princess... Awww~ ♥
so basically my holidays were all about working and kids~
not really the holidays that i originally planned but somehow it's still fun and interesting...
till then...

- A bit of here and there -

Hi peeps..
Just some updates... 
just because i know you miss me 
=P
 
July going to end soon...
counting down one more month to go for my internship and life in kl...
internship thus far...
hmm...
getting better...
made less mistakes...
but still...
workload is not as scary as what my other friends who went through internship said...
i guess it's because the nature of the department i am in...
and it's been crazily boring these few days...
like for today...
of the whole 7.5 hours that i am supposed to be working...
i think i only worked for 1 hour plus... 
all the rest of the time???
hmmm....
i spent at least 4 hours clicking here and there in the computer... 
1 hour playing the calculator by adding up random numbers...
another hour typing random stuff in the word file... 
(currently practicing how to type without looking at the keypad)
sooooooooooo bored!!!!!!!!!
seriously i'd rather be busy than to be free...
total waste of time... 

* * * * * * *

discovery of the day:
I've always used a digi mobile phone line sub from my father's biz plan...
ever since i was 14...
(mind you i am 22 right now)
and just until today...
i randomly realised this...
(because i am adding up all phone numbers i can think of while playing with calculator)
my father is actually using celcom...
if so...
how on earth he can sub one digi line for me?! 
o.O?
still havent figure it out...
will ask him when i next go home...
oh my ignorance all these years...
 
 * * * * *

most common comment from my old friends recently...
'WOW! your hair is so long!'
been having super long hair...
never kept such length before...
why?
just because i still havent figure out what i want to do with it...
in dilemma whether i should chop it off or just trim abit...
any suggestion??
perhaps i can show some of my photos of different hair length...  
primary one... the school demanded all students to have same hairstyle...
year 2007... shortest in history...

Year 2007... abit longer
and short again... 2008
and 2009...
still 2009... i'm the one on the left... the only photo that shows the length...

- June Happenings -


June...
A month with alot of breakthroughs...
A time for me to step out of my comfort zone...
A whole new experience with alot of uncertainties...
first time going for a professional interviews...
first time taking public transport in kl...
first time living in a state that i am not familiar with...
first time working in an office...
first time chopping onion and garlics...
(onion really do make you cry!!!! O.O)
first time doing alot of babysitting...
first time living out of a suitcase...
a total eye opener...

so...
for your info...
i am currently doing my internship in ING Malaysia...
main office at jalan raja chulan...
from june to early september..
no...
my degree/school doesnt require me to do internship...
but since i got 3 months plus holidays...
so decided to go try out something new...
it's a really sudden decision...
so alot of my earlier plan of going traveling and relaxing had got to be delayed...
the most commonly asked question from all the new people i met:
"why dont you work in singapore?"
just so you know...
i am not allowed to work in singapore...
my student pass contract stated so...

so...
about work...
so far so good...
not too much workload...
truly learnt alot...
colleagues divided into 2 different types...
one is extremely friendly and nice...
show me to all different places for lunch everyday...
another is...
hmm... 
more complicated...
experienced employees i would say...
and more office politics...
but overall it's still ok...

dont know what else to talk about for the time being... 
just gonna show some photos of my current doings...
  office wear #1

office wear #2
friday: smart casual...
daily supplements...
one of the thursday night... dinner and beer with cousin and her korean friend...
me and cousin sis, Stephanie...
the korean guy...
another friday... dinner and bubble tea with cousin sis and nephews.. Benjamin and Joash
the name of this bubble tea is Kalakap...

alright..
guess that's all...
off to bed already...
