Many happenings!!
ooo so fast already in the 3rd week of my "intern".... hehe~~~ alot of funny things happening. First is last week fri or thurs i think.... then is this Mon....
Friday:Last week, i
injured 2 fingers. I think I told some of u already.... the incident is real stupid. My fault or my carelessness. It happened like this... One afternoon we all decided to go to chinatown to haf porridge at this supposedly famous porridge stall. (everyone think the food not that great leh... wonder y so famous...) After eating, we took cab back to office. Ok, so me, ying, eng kiat and one yr1 student took a cab together. I grabbed this metal part between the 2 windows to support myself while going in to sit. Eng kiat sat at the front seat and immediately slammed the door hard and tight. My fingers were slammed flat. OUCH! I could not pull my fingers off! It was really shut tight. It hurt so much that I yelled at him to open the door and den my tears juz flowed out uncontrollably, cos it was so pain... My 2 middle fingers got the most dmg... all red too. There is this big line of dent across them near my upmost fingerjoints.... The dents soon turned BLACK. I was laughing and crying together so hard that my waist area hurts.. lol.... all of them including the taxi driver kept looking at me and check to see if my fingers were broken or wat... They said that I'm lucky that the groove didnt hit my joints exactly, but the knobs there, else my fingers will be dislocated there. ya... i am lucky...
Slowly, the flesh at the dents slowly popped up and revealed 2 patches of bruise near the joints. It swell and I hardly able to bend them. So back in office, I grabbed some cold mineral water bottles to cool the swell... After some time, back to work again... Finally we finished all the little models of the houses.... total 16 of them... we decided to take photos of them. They looked like COOKIES to me, freshly baked from oven... lol. So Ying suggested we bring apron and pose for some photos on next Mon, which is yester yesterday.
Sat-Sun:Anime chalet!!! haha nothing much to say except that yea~ yk came to the chalet! I think the whole chalet quite fun as usual, we were marathoning Bleach. Yk oso stayed back to watch until the next morning~ lol.... There are 2 ang mohs in the chalet... hmm... and get to know this person who studied comics arts in US... wow.... Den on sunday early afternoon I left the chalet, in a cab with the 2 ang moh... I like to travel alone sometimes when i'm tired.... dun feel like tokking but one of the ang moh decided to take mrt with me, and live in Buona Vista... ok, so he's gonna be with me almost all the way. So I haf to smile and tok actively, trying to hide my yawning. well, he's pretty nice a person and he went to many places ard the world... haiz... so good.
Mon:Haha, today me and ying brought our
aprons to office!!! After lunch, we asked engkiat to take photos of us 'baking' the houses.... so proud of our production lor, we are like factories.... engkiat made a fake ice-cream out of foamboard... which looked pretty enticing to eat... I posted the photos le~ ENjoy!
Finally I finished my anime poster and flyer juz now..... whew~ They weren't great pieces of work and yet I overshot the deadline so much. Sorry to waiyee and everyone involved. My bad. yup~ cya all! nitez!
(PS: some guy's been pestering me via sms.... i hate ppl who crap and pester me liddat... i may turn cold to such ppl.... :( )
