INTERNSHIP

Hello good morning from Phuket!!! ;D
Hehehe finally able to blog after like so long, close to a month in fact.
So yeah was able to get wifi in my apartment like two days ago, thank God. 
I really can't imagine if i'm gonna live without wifi for like this 5 months.
Yes so its been like ten days since i've arrived in Phuket, wow hahah seem pretty long yeah. But well, i'm still adapting to the life here. 

To be honest, being here to work isn't as easy as i thought it would be.
Back in Singapore when i thought okay its gonna be tough and all, i really didn't expect it to be tougher than i ever imagined. Its like having yourself to go to work alone, having your off days alone like i meant literally so i just stayed in my apartment. It's like you panicking like shit when your shuttle bus doesn't come on time and your work starts in an hour's time which is the timing of the next shuttle bus. So yes, i had to learn to adapt to this totally foreign environment, overcome the language barrier, get used to the food here and also try to live my life as fulfilling as i can.

There's like so much to adapt here that the first day of my work, my brain literally died. And the second day, i was like getting homesick damn bad till i had to keep controlling myself to stop crying. It's like intern is that bad i mean like so much things to learn and keep up and like you're still getting used to living here still, i feel so overwhelmed that at times i just feel like breaking down. :'( 

But yeah, i constantly reminded myself that hey you're here for internship to see if resort is what you really want to worked at. So wipe your tears and stand up strong at your feet, its all gonna be alright and over in a few months time. i'm just so afraid i won't be able to use the opera well, you know i suck at using computer programs. I can't even use photoshop properly omg. But my aim is to overcome this fear and master opera during this whole internship. I CAN DO THIS!!! 

So yup, its like so weird at times because you have some good days in work and it makes you feel excited to go back to work the next day which was what i experienced for the past two days. :) Thankful indeed. And yes one epic incident which occured that i was so glad i'm safe and sound right now in my apartment.
Okay the story goes: I was waiting for my 9am shuttle bus and usually the bus comes 9.07am. But that very day, the bus didnt come when its 9.10 until 9.14 and i was panicking like oh shit i'm so gonna be late for my work. The bus journey to my workplace is like around half an hour and the next shuttle bus will only come like at 10am (time i start work). So yes and i really have to thank God for bringing me my saviour who is this employee who happens to work at Angsana too. He was boarding the same bus as me and seeing that the bus isn't going to come, he offered me a ride on his motorbike. Obviously i was petrified, but i decided to went with him and trust him. Turns out, he really is a good guy. You know sometimes in life, its a little tough to meet such nice people and i'm really very thankful for his kind gesture. :-) i guess i have to thank my safety amulet too as well. It gave me a sense of security and brought me to my workplace safely. 

And now i'm currently alone in my apartment today because Fiona is away at work. Poor girl, she went to work alone and gonna come back alone later. But tomorrow that will be me so hahaha i shall pray hard for my shuttle bus timing tonight!! *fingers crossed* But i'm starting to really appreciate my off days a lot, because it means some alone time to myself and my lappy. Oh and yes was busy skyping with my family, ACTK and goldfish for the past two days, even my aunt as well. Hahah it feels heartwarming to be able to see them online even though we're 1,318.9km away. ;) So yes heheh i'm gonna enjoy my offdays and today happens to be buddy's birthday as well yay. That girl is finally 19, same as me laojiao. i just can't wait to visit the night market tonight. ^^


p/s: I'm starting to become an early person, waking up early every morning even in my off days.

Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart

Holy grail, can't believe its been more than a year and here I am...decided that it's finally the night that I will pretty much like to update my blog. Yes what a year it has been, wouldn't have expected that my life will be like this a year back. Despite saying this, me is contented. Sitting right here alone in an A/C room hearing to 2NE1 music after a good bath and dinner, spending some me-time (while e hubby go for an impromtu night to JB with his bros). Heh tgif! Loving such Friday night <3  Been learning to appreciate these rare moments of me-time, to make use of it in a way that will make me feel good after. Recently, I thought to myself that 'hey its time to start brushing up the self-growth part of me as well as feeding my own mind and soul' cuz lately that was the part of me that I felt neglected - I guess I do sometimes pin a lot of expectations on myself when it comes to my growth at my work - what do i learn from it (aka professional growth) that I so...

Courage over fear

What a crazy past three weeks it has been - rollarcoaster of emotions for me and I can't believe I survived it T.T From having my dad admitted to hospital in fear of an injury that was discovered to receiving a job opportunity and having to make a career decision in such a short span of time (while i'm on leave) to taking that brave step to inform my boss and ro on my intent to go for the interview to driving without JJ for the first time(s). A whirlpool of emotions, it feels overwhelming to be honest.  And I guess a lot of the emotions were more on the negative side - feeling fearful, anxious of the unknown, terrified maybe. And on the other hand, sense of relief and happiness when my dad was finally discharged because the doctors deem that it wasn't life-threathening and that he just had to attend further body check ups thereafter to receiving the full support and care from my boss and ro. I literally couldn't control my tears falling the moment my boss shared the pie...

Hello October!

A year and six months since the first CB started and look at where we are right now...still feeling pretty surreal that we're still in the midst of battling this pandemic or per say endemic to be?  I guess many of us wouldn't have imagined us to be battling this Covid-19 till today, and I'm just thankful that my loved ones are all safe and healthy <3  It's def been a difficult year for many (mostly in bad way i will say, minus the good part that we do get a decent amount of time to spend at home with your family as most people do wfh since last Apr 2020). But then again, I guess you can say I miss the liveliness of the neighbourhood, I miss the carefree times when we can indeed hang out as a group without worries (now I don't think I can forsee being maskless anytime soon even in the next year but I only wish for the easing of group gatherings because I sincerely miss family/relatives time and opportunities to hang out with your friends!) Covid-19 made me treasur...
