i attended some meetings today. they were interesting =) they were not even like big shot meetings, but still, i witnessed conflicts and so much politics in play. i'm beginning to enjoy my position as a trainee. i dun need to bear any real responsibility, am not expected to perform like a star player, have less jobs than the interns (since they cant treat us like interns n give us mundane brainless tasks), get to rotate ard depts to understand each's job functions and the best part is being able to observe office politics without being directly involved. its so fun being an observer in the midst of all the drama. =)

with regards to my breakup, i used to think and hope that by explaining myself to others and how i came to my 'silly' decision, they will understand and actually see things abit more from my perspective. but seriously, i have no need to. i've come to a conclusion that nobody, absolutely no one, will ever understand my decision. and its ok, bcoz i'm accountable only to my Lord.

i wished i were busier at work, so i wouln'd have the time to sit in the office toilet, thinking and tearing like i did today.

~~~ Angela 10:49 PM

a part of me wished i didn't hafta return home bcoz i think days abroad, due to all the distractions and challenges, will somehow always be more exciting, happy and enjoyable. life back home and work is boring, and i'm still exhausted, still not used to working life and hours. i've got a problem - my supervisor's soft and really sweet voice always puts me to sleep although i'm sitting just next to her as she teaches us about credit management, productivity gaps etc. oh well, think its a skill to learn too? to not fall aslp at work or appear not alsp.

i'm troubled, despite being still quite high from the trip. its like i've learnt to compartmentalise different parts of me and my emotions........ n take them out only at appropriate times, ie separate work and personal life.

feng is still not better. i'm not sure how i can help him or if he wans/needs my help anyway. he msned me the very first nite i was back in sg.... n made me cry. its not his fault. nothing is. i realised my heart is so soft now, countless of things make me cry. think i'm beginning to be the real crybaby i really am bcoz somehow, i'm no longer afraid of wat ppl think of me when i tear coz its really none of their biz...... i think he is still holding on to alot of our memories together... but there's nothing much i can do as well to help or encourage him. SIGH....... sometimes i think i'll remain a spinster after this relationship, bcoz i feel not many guys can match up to feng. its rare to find someone who accepts and loves u the way u are aint it? sigh. life is one tough road. but take heart! for Christ has overcomed the world and is with me. He has oredi prepared n planned everything. Having HOPE and placing it all in Jesus, is the most important thing in my temporal life, i've realised and believe.

work commences....

rite, i'm back n its really good to be home coz altho i enjoyed myself thoroughly abroad, i still miss my mummy.

my time in bangkok was nothing short of fantabulous. i made many new frens who're really nice pple. i mean, of coz there were some who're not so nice and unpopular, but u learn to deal with the good n bad in life. overall, it was great fun n kudos to the real frenly n hospitable thai frens who planned activities for us and brought us to cool places. i'm really lazy to write abt everything we did, so i'm just gonna copy n paste from our facebook group n elaborate alil. haha

September 3, 2007: CAPAP Kick-off at Bangkok - had dinner with various CFOs n biz heads
September 4, 2007: dinner at a really interesting restaurant - Cabbages & Condoms. then Suan Lum Night Bazaare (shopping)

September 6, 2007: Movie Night at Siam Paragon
September 7-8, 2007: Team Building Activities at Baan Pha Ngam - some mountain resort where we did the typical rope challenges. it was a nice place. we could see thousands of twinkling stars n had an encounter with a snake.
September 8, 2007: photohunt, hotplate dinner + ktv at Esplanade
September 9, 2007: Royal Palace + Chatuchak Market (my fave shopping place)

September 20, 2007: Exam! + Dinner at Sorn Thong + Night out at Route 66 - my first ever time clubbing
September 21, 2007: End of Block I! + Lunch together at MK Gold Ekamai + Platinum (shopping again) + chitchatting till late
September 22, 2007: last minute shopping for me at Tesco supermarket + farewell

as u can see, it was fun-packed. n becoz i'm so popular, everyone came to my room nearly everynite to chitchat (gossip) and/or study. n my room became the hotel within the hotel coz my thai fren came to stay over in my room. okie, i'm kidding abt the popular part.... just so happened my room was at a very central location on the floor we were all on. n of coz i got along with most peeps too ah =)

ok.... i'm still quite exhausted from the trip.... slept like most parts of sunday except for the few hours in church. n was still falling aslp this afternoon at my 1st day of work bcoz it was sooo boring! basically, we were asked to familiarise ourselves with the corporate strategies of siemens and the programs they've implemented and guidelines from the intranet. gosh... me and isabel (fellow sg capap) nearly fell aslp at our work stations. but i'm sure it'll get better; first days are always lydat. rite now, we're in Corporate Risk Management for 2weeks. we'll be rotating for the next 7weeks to Logistics, Accounting and Finance and maybe some biz unit too... i'm sure will be able to get a good feel of the corporate departments. then the others will come to SG end november n it'll be my turn to play host. yikes!

anyway.... i'll post some slideshow next time..... photos are still with isabel. think the CAPAP team took like more than 1GB of photos altogether. so kua1 zhang1 rite?

ok, time for sleep. nitenite
