Hello guys, it's been super long ever since i've had a legit post cos the others are just posts from Thought Catalog. The most recent one was on Cheyenne's 18th birthday which was like what, last year ?
So, i shall update whatever i can remember !
Internship
Yes i have been rather busy because of intern which started on 7th march this year and it spans over a period of 6 months.... (i dug my own grave for this one)
Basically NYP's internship is only for 10 weeks and the remaining weeks, you'll have to work in school for free which is super weird and i obviously didn't like at all. So i thought of joining the Enhanced Internship program where my internship period would be 6 months long and i would be assigned to one of the Big 4 companies (which is duh, a very big plus) but of course, the criteria to enter isn't that easy, well at least for me.
If i didn't remember wrongly about the criteria, my grades have to be really good (obviously) and my gpa has to be 3.2 and above ? Other than that, my mentor also has to have good impression on me in order for them to recommend me for the internship program. For starters, my grades isn't very good at all; i'm just a normal student who gets 1-2 As and the rest are just a mix of B, C and D. And my gpa isn't anywhere near 3.2, if i were to be very honest. So i was a little reluctant to sign up for it because i was so sure that i would be rejected. But my friends encouraged me and i also consulted my parents
and they were all very supportive so yeah, i signed up.
Guess what......I GOT IN ! Super shocked but i was really really happy HAHAH
And my internship journey with one of the Big 4 companies began and i'm glad to say that it has been smooth sailing ever since it started.
Got this text from one of the seniors, whom i haven't worked with before. We were just working on the same company but on different teams. But i was really touched when he encouraged and praised
me. And HAHAH he was joking about me being 不爽 because he always tell me that i seem angry at him.
Alright, enough about internship because yeah, it's getting boring..... HAHA
CNY gathering at Junzhe's
Junzhe invited Cheyenne to his house for CNY gathering and she asked me along since she is the only girl HAHA what a nub so me being a great friend said yes. But HAHAH i also wanted to see some BVSS faces too.
Pardon me for having such bad quality photos because i uploaded this somewhere else and it affected the quality of the photos :-(
Perks of being the only few girls there (uh there were only 2 girls there la ya; me and cheyenne) : you don't have to do anything because the guys will basically handle everything. Yeah, all i did was sit down and wait for the food to be cooked HAHA
Yangqin's Birthday
Celebrated feg tay's birthday for him and we got him a princess balloon LOL (it's not in the photo but yeah you get the picture)
Ok the pole in the middle is damn weird and i have no idea why we decided to stand there for a photo and wtf the birthday boy dressed like he's going to the market...... but okay we don't blame him because he is oblivious about the whole surprise.
A new phone
Finally got myself to changing my Note 2 for a better one. Yeah yeah a note 2 is really old considering Note 5 is already out on the market for ages. But i just haven't got myself to change it because firstly, i didn't really see the need to ? It's working fine and the phone is still in great condition, just a bit laggy and what not but c'mon, it's a old model. Secondly, i'm saving money for my grad trip to korea with my clique !
I wanted to save with my own money because i'm spending it on myself during the korea trip afterall. And ever since i started working part time jobs, i have never asked for money from my dad whenever i needed money to go out, buy stuffs, to pay my phone bills and any other matters other than school allowances when school starts because i won't be working by then. I used to dislike this whole "being independent' thingy where i pay for my own expenses when i have income because who likes seeing the figures in their bank account drop ? But i'm glad they did now because it taught me the importance of money and it also taught me to save.
My dad also pays for stuffs like braces and lasik (which i'm going to do when i graduate from poly) which are things that i feel isn't a must to do but he encourages me to go for them and he will foot the bill.
So it doesn't make any sense for me to get money from my dad for my own trip but eventually i know, my dad will offer to sponsor part of my trip because he has been doing that whenever my sis goes on trips with her friends. So, i wasn't really keen on spending a few hundreds for a new phone especially when i'm really close to reaching my goal.
So this dragged on for months and i finally got fed up with my phone because the battery drains faster and faster, my phone hangs from time to time and i can't watch a proper video without it freezing the screen and jumping scenes. So i went to contract a new phone and YES my dad offered to pay for the phone which was $500 while i just had to pay the monthly bill. I was super duper happy because i won't need to blow a hole in my bank account ! But of course, this additional $500, that i won't need to spend gets saved up.
Sorry that i side-tracked with my whole saving-up-for-my-grad-trip story HAHAH the phone that i got was Samsung's galaxy S7 in rose gold !
Looks super normal in the picture but i swear the colour is waaaay better in real life okay
That's all for this post for now ! Unbelievable that this post alone took me 2 days to draft it out because this isn't a very long one HAHA but it's okay i'm trying ya
