A matter of gettin' used to~

Yes people, i'm still alive and kickin'!
The first two months had its ups and downs.
I felt like an idiot (still do~) but am continuously learning from the people around me.

" so how do i like working with the firm?"
What do you think?


Site visits are fun. especially when it's right after a meeting with a client for a different project~


Working on a design necessitated a trip to Nilai (yeah...all the way to another state we went! :D) Yet another day of 'input'


And tell me....who could hate having satay while 'on-the-job'?...


and of course...rojak as dessert before heading back to the office.


Firm dinner in conjunction with Raya celebration.


Gotta say, you really get to know your colleagues once you see how they are with their families...

And today...almost the whole day was spent on 'entertaining' the client. more work pushed in my direction...but still...i can't say i hate it.
Things are finally being set in motion. Work piles up (does it ever go away? haha) but i'm STILL going to enjoy my weekend in Singapore.

Yet somehow, i can't help but feel sad. In a month's time, 2 more of my colleagues shall be leaving (to further study...and pave the way for a better future). I wish them all the best.

People always leave. Why do i even bother 'connecting'?

*note: this is all so random. i do apologize if nothing made sense! :P

Wake up call?


On one of the more relaxed days at the firm.My corner workstation. The amount of filing behind me could kill me if the shelf gave way. Somehow working on other people's projects put me more at ease than concentrating on my own...*sigh*

Work consumes you.
In less than 2 months since starting, i've already forgotten that i'm not supposed to treat it as work, but a learning experience instead.
So, thanks 'grandma' for reminding me of my initial intention.
Because i forgot that i was there to learn, I got so beaten down when everything seemed to go against me. Even brought me to question my personality...or lack there of?!?!
Yet another month to go of proving myself worthy. Let's hope i don't lose myself in the process.
But in all the challenges thrown at me, i'm glad that there exists people who don't mind my endless questions.
I'm in awe.
of how they manage to do it so effortlessly.

This is what i chose. This is what i want. and i shall work towards it!

it doesn't go away...

sometimes.
just sometimes. you'd wish things were different.
sometimes.
just sometimes. you get help from the least expected.
yet ALL the time.
you're hoping for something just to be disappointed.
