Internship @ VOX
Exactly from my reflection... Yesterday, I went for my first external meeting together with the team to meet up with our client. The whole experience was great! It was very much like our normal project meeting except the experience was with the real working world and clients can sometimes be fussy and stingy, hah! Sat in for the meeting and took down minutes, as much as it seemed when we learnt during year 2, having to re type out and categories them accordingly is not as easy but I believe, in time to come, I will get a hang of it!

Haha im way too lazy to think what to type, hah! Once again, nic and i are slacking in the office cos there isnt anything to do. But having said that, we were working hard this morning cos andre they had a presentation (now to be exact). We were rushing rushing rushing, haha what's new? =)

Before andre left for presentation, we were each given the project we will be supporting, a long list but im looking foward yet at the same time not cos two of my sundays are burnts tgt with my weekends, i can now picture bernard tan's black face, heh! But i believe the Daddy from above will watch over me! Amen!

Alright, some bimbo update, nic is busy eating pocky while im here blogging, we are really bored and i finishe my reflection! Whooppeee, no more worries bout it! Yes and we are loading music into nic's lappie. OOOOHHH well, i think we are mad!! Hhahah

Life's great! =) Quoting xiang's nickname, tough work, tough job, wonderful love! Yeah! Dear picked me up from work on mon and went for dinenr at bishan, our usu chicken rice, we both felt the standard has dropped but nevertheless, it was great, dinner was great! =) Met jie and dear yest again though it wasnt the initial plan to meet him aft work. Went to J8, had dinenr and did some grocery shopping, the bonding session was G-R-E-A-T! Thank you Daddy! =) Jie bought me chocolate mooncake, finally got my teeth sinking into one! Hah!

Im still stuck at the office, nic's still in a meeting while im here blogging and mr bernard tan is boiling at home. Heh! Today's been a great day so far, amen! Hah prob not for nic, she bought her slip-ons from m)phosis last night and voila, the diamontiate dropped twice this morn and she lost one of it. Hopefully m)phosis will do something bout it.

Im bored and im tired, my eyes are closing. Oh nic and i bought this durian swiss roll from rich and good, cant rem the exact name. It's not bad, kinda disappoint though cos it was as good as expected from all the comments that ive read online. 727's still the best! Hhahha oh man, i feel like eating durian now. Oh talkin bout whic, yest dear n i tried this durian mooncake at J8, power!!!!!!! If m pocket is not empty, i'll buy one for the love.



Internship @ VOX
Finally completed my propsosal, the whole scenario is very much like when we are rushing for deadline back in TP! Andre was suppose to meet the client at 4.30pm but at that time, jinwen was still doing the costing part. Hah! Goodness! Hopefull andre manage to reach the client's office by 5pm!

The whole process of doing the proposal was pretty much smooth going, the format, write up, pictures were there, all i had to do was to write additional stuff that we brainstormed last week. Im pretty much glad with the proposal that ive done, heh! Very much to my standard; alignment, fonts etc. Hhahah

Speaking bout meeting last week, it was the first discussion which nic n i had since we've entered VOX. There were other discussion but this was really one which involved the both of us. Time passed so quickly during the meeting, before we knew it, it was close to 7pm! And i very much thought it was still 4plus 5pm. Heh!

Tmr nic and i gg for an external meeting individually with the two groups; nic, jingwen and jo, andre and me. Im pretty much nervous bout it. Andre said it wld very much be like taking minutes(for me) sort.

Wrapping how life has been in a whole till now, apart from being really contented in VOX, im really thankful for all that ive learnt. It may seem very technical like learning to bind proposal, jagons for logistics, searching for fonts, picture and write up, research, calling up catering company, redoing and redoing and redoing of pptslide, proposal, rushing, having contacts, late hours and many other more. Well this is very much of an event company and i am glad im able to experience it before i offically become a full timer and step into this industry as my perm job. Im enjoying it still, very much!

Guess nic and i have very much settled down at VOX, been laughing, joking around. Hhahah! All the inside joke within during working hours. Hahahh

Oh well, gotta go do my reflection, hopefully i'll do it. Heh! Dont forget to do it guys, due this sat, 30th and classroom session the following week.

Celebrated jie's birthday yesterday, really glad she was pleasantly surprised! =) Really felt emo bout the whole conversation dear and jie had, am i really blessed with the family im given! And i ultimately thank God for allowing both dear and my paths to cross, to allow us to learn from each other. The journey ahead will be tough but i have faith, they will succeed! Amen!

Service was great! Rev foo spoke bout untamable tongue, i really enjoy his sermon! Oh and ive been long wanting to blog bout this... The sign of peace. It did not struck me till two sundays back when ber and jie was in a cold war. Was suddenly brought back to IJ; it is during the sign of the peace when each of us will make peace after a quarrel. Dont ask me why but if you have a long cold war with someone, during mass, even if the two classes or both parties in the same class are seated one end to the other, we will still travel the distance to make peace. I was hoping for that two sundays ago hah but it did not happen of course, though the two of em was just separated by me! Any old how, they've made peace after service that day though! =)

Alrighty off to work! Careless boss misplaced his keys! Hopefully we wont have to wait long! Great and bless week ahead to you all!

Lovelove!

Just got back from dinner with dear and dicko at amk central. I had a really bad tummyache! Was bearing with it all the way back to his place and zoom to the toilet i went! Nic, the tea finally took it's effect! Hah!

Internship at VOX
Was rushin earlier, so didnt manage to update much.

The tuesday that just past, was nic and mine first event at VOX; a D&D at Marriot. It was really an eye opener! I always knew the process of organising one till the execution was tedious but boy, being physically involve in one, is definately an experience. There's more to come! Plus many other different events, im honestly lookin foward to it! Haha except for the long working hours, heh!

Though nic and i werent totally involve right from the beginning except the execution, i certainly did learn much. Like the ability to do live feed, how it is done, tempo of music, fanfare, casher, amount of music etc, very much of the logistic part but as for the event side, coordinating and be prepared for hiccups is definately something one must be prepared for. It's very much like IG, just that it's a bigger, much bigger scale. Really am glad i chose VOX ultimately, apart from the pple and all, the part of having logistic in the company is a good thing. Im not saying the other event companies with no sound/lighting logistics or those having SIP there is at a disadvantage, just felt that, apart from learning from just events, im equally expose to the other side; which is fairly much important during an event. As for the point of the company, atleast one dont have to out source for a supplier. Any old how, each has his point of view! =)

The D&D went well, when the event ended, it was like a sigh of relief with a great sense of accomplishment! It was especially nice when joanna went round thanking all, she's the incharge for this d&d. There was no doubt hiccups here and there, like how the wonderfully nice scoreboard which nic and i did wasnt use afterall cos there were four judges, not three, the client forgot to mention to us plus sourcing for karaoke vcd at the very last min! Even the ppt slide which nic and i did, had many changes! Hah but all effor was worth it, at the end of the day, seeing the big wide smile on the client's face was satisfying.

Very much expected, pitching a job is never an easy task. It is very similar to that of our normal project including presentation. And not forgetting rushing the proposal. Nic and i havent gone for any pitching of job yet though andre did mention we will be gg one day, hopefully soon! Im excited! Hah! Went for a site inspection on wed, taking pictures for graphic use and understanding of the place well, really glad andre brought nic n i to tag along. Heh!

Today spent the whole day calling catering companies for two events. Again it was an experience, from the way you speak to one to the way you negotiate the price. But it felt even better that, it was real!! Hahahh unlike when doing for project, you're just bullshiting bout coming from a bogus company.

Heh alright really gotta go, bernard tan is sighing really loudly. Hope everything is well on all your side, we've been through one week of SIP already, very fast! Take very good care yah? Rem 7 Oct, Sat is our second classroom session. See you guys soon! Miss ya! Hugss.


IJ Sweethears: MISS YOU GUYS VERY MUCH TOO!! Meet up soon! Hope all is well on your side too! And yan, hope ure alright, threee weeks is long but hang on okay? Anything just give me a call! LOVE YOU GIRLS!!

Alirght i really really gotta go!! Ciao! =)

Suppose to be outta the house by now but since we'll have to wait, nic and i decided to meet slightly later. Update on my internship!

Internship @ VOX
Finally nic and i are given a project to do! We've been slacking sorta, in the office. Think the only time we really work was during the d&d. Im still enjoying myself at vox though im kinda upset with the way they handle some stuff, two only. Hah! Im very much getting used to working life, adapting hard!

Though we have not done anything major as yet, im pretty much glad that i picked up some IT skills! Alright to all IT savvy, this will sound super mountain tortise but i finally learnt how to use the powerpoint, doing up slide with animation and all!! and adobe photoshop, not that much but how to crop pic! Hahaha told ya so!

Other than that, nic and i were taught the terminology of logistic stuff, cables, parcan, amplifier, how to keep cables and such.

In short, im enjoying myself at VOX.

Gotta go, bernard tan is hurrying me.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6

"... in sincerity of heart, as to Christ; not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men." Ephesians 6:5-7

"Cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7


These verses really spoke to me this weekend, esp the first one; to lean on the strength of our Lord than on my own understanding which i have been. Have been down lately, even till with this nagging feeling inside me but praise the Lord that He really spoke to me during today's service even though it was bout managing your finance, completely different from what i was facing. Just when i was at my weakest point, the worship team sang "I offer my life". The worship song really meant a lot to me since my secondary school and cell group days. Was totally overwhelmed.

While jie was sending me home, i confided in her. Im really glad she understood how i was feeling and all but at the same time, i feel really bad for disappointing them by how i feel. Shrugs. Im learning, im trying. Jie, though u'll nv see this but im really thankful for you. Despite being just ber's gf, you nv fail to treat me like your own; pampering me, caring for me, doting me, loving me. No words can express how much i am thankful for you and how much i truly appreciate your love and care and treating you as my own and I ultimately thank our heavenly Father for you, this sister i am blessed with. Hugss.

Ive sorted out my thoughts and now im really learning to lean on my Father above. He will never leave us for He love us so thus im going to do likewise; i truly love ber and no matter how bad thing will eventually be, i'll lean on God, trusting He will lead me through, giving me the faith and strength to go on. Ber and i have been through much, more than i can ever expect. The life ahead will be tough but i believe if God will to put me through this, He will lead me through it.

Sarah, thank you for your message. It really worked wonders within me =) I duno how to express how i felt when i saw your msg but babe, thank you so much, i simply felt it was a God sent msg. Thank you sweetie! =)


Internship @ VOX
Im enjoyin myself thus far. Everyone there is great! Nic and i have been slacking for the past three days since we started but im very sure, from tomorrow onwards we'll be on our feet! Tues will be our first event! We've been fiddling with powerpoint and photshop, haha not totally an expert but definately learnt much bout the two applications! Ah and i learnt on fri that we can actually download fonts and use them! You've gotta paste the file into the font file first before using though. Felt so enlighten! Hah how mountain tortise! But really, im kinda enjoyin myself. Oh and the mystery of rubber duckie is solved! Hah!

Pictures i got off nic's blog, lazy to upload mine, heh! That's mine table, nic's is the second table behind mine.

Dad's leaving for beijing, gotta go send him off. Though this weekend had its unhappiness, im thankful ive been through it all. It just strengthen my walk with God and certainly renewed my faith for Him. Amen! =)

I offer my Life
All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before You, O Lord
All my regrets, All my acclaim
The joy and the pain
I’m making them Yours

Lord, I offer my life to You
Everything I’ve been through
Use it for Your glory
Lord, I offer my days to You
Lifting my praise to You
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer You my life

Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and desires that are yet to come true
All of my hopes, all of my plans
My heart and my hands are lifted to You

Lord, I offer my life to You
Everything I’ve been through
Use it for Your glory
Lord, I offer my days to You
Lifting my praise to You
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer You my life

What can we give that You have not given?
And what do we have that is not already Yours?
All we posses are these lives we’re living
And that’s what we give to You Lord

Lord, I offer my life to You
Everything I’ve been through
Use it for Your glory
Lord, I offer my days to You
Lifting my praise to You
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer You my life

I slept with a heavy heart last night, woke up feeling the same, i havent felt any better since....

Im really tired of making others happy, im really tired ensuring im spending enough time with so on so forth. I dont even have even time for my own! Shrugs. Im really feeling crappy, feeling really really really really lousy. Pimples all over, tummy's bloated, heart's feeling really extra heavy, oh goodness! Nothing is gg to cheer me up any sooner! And no, it is not the time of the month cos i just had mine. Im really feeling crap!

I hate this feeling! I love spending time with my love ones and friends but at times like this, .... i duno, i'll nv be able to please anyone, no one. I cant even please myself, im nv contented, nv. I break the curse in the name of Jesus but sometimes i just dont learn till i lose it all. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im really feeling crappy, really really really really really reallly really really really really duper ultra extra over the limit ultimate extremely crap, lousy, irritated, fat, ugly, clumsy, disgusted, UGGHHH! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think im just tired.

Dinner tonight was great! =) Dear made dinner tonight =) Im a happy contented girl =) Made plans with nic to buy stuff for our table initially but ber insisted on meeting me. Hah, pleasantly surprised =) Nothing fancy but dinner was great! It's the thought that counts! =)

Met my ladies last night, as usu, it was great! =) I really love these girls to bits!

Internship at VOX
Today offically mark the start of SIP. Nic and i practically watched videos of past events as well as proposals and such. Didnt do anything other than that oh and to run errands, sorta, to quote andre, 'you guys can write: today is the first day of internship and i was made to buy papers and envelope' something along that line. Hhaha, we really didnt have anything much to do.

Well today is only the first day, i can foresee hectic-ness starting next week! And! I just had to fall sick on my first day - sneezing and a runny nose the whole day, andre even gave me a new box of tissue paper! Felt so bad and embarrassing, after today is my first day of work and im sick!

Nic and i are given a box of our own name cards, hah i know i sound mountain tortise but im still kinda going gaga over it! I mean, after all we are just intern but they actually bother to print them for us. We've got our own desk too, nic and i have already planned what to deco it! Hhahah, i really thank God nic is with me (=

Hope you guys are having fun at ur company! =) Remember, we will always be here for each other k? Anything just msg okay? Till we meet up again, please take very good care (XIANG ESP: you're sick too, take VERY EXTRA good care, next week night shift!!!). Miss you guys! Hugss

Ur truly has finally cut her hair but.... the outcome isnt as expected. bleah. It's rather short, very infact. Oh well, it will grow. Met dear's mom early this morn to the ulu panda place to cut, jurong west. Goodness!

Dear went to extract his wisdom tooth, it looks really disgusting (the tooth) and pain (him). He'll be on MC till wed, bet you he'll go get another two day on wed, hah super chao keng! Apart from living in pain for the next few days, he'll be living like a king cos he's a sick man. haha!

Anyway, im meeting my sweethearts tmr!!!! Finally meeting em after sucha LOOOOONG time. Happyhappy! =)

Saturday
No offense to canto club and such, ive nothing against them. Went to one on sat, it just isnt my cuppa tea. After the live performance, the place turned into a clubbing scene, sorry but it's totally beyond my description. I just simply dont fancy the place, the atmospher was just bslh. While i was seating outside (waiting for ber, i cldnt stand the smoke, songs etc...), i was proven right bout the atmosphere. This girl, prob my age, was interceeding for these three 16yrs old girls to enter, all in the lianhua-hokkien, it was definately an eye-opener! Goodness gracious! Ive really nothing against em or the place, it was just... culture shock? Hah! I tot the first club i entered was bad, this is worse. Okay, the place really isnt my cuppa tea. Period. I can really go on and on and on and on and on bout the place.

Sorry nic, didnt manage to go look for you ultimately... shrugs! Hope you had fun though!

Sunday
Service was great! Totally absord the message so well, amen! It was bout anger management. Hopefully what was preached, will be abide. I'll try, i'll do my best! =) And! Ber and jie finally made up, thank God! It's a long story bout what happened but im more glad, my faith for the Father above hasnt let me down =)

Finally bought something to wear on wed last sat but apart from that, it was a bonding session between my mom, sis and i. I sure enjoyed myself! =) The whole feeling was just like the last round we went shopping at Marina Square. Im really thankful for em. =)

Hello all!

It's been a long while since ive blog, hah! According to my sis, my life seems more occupied than before/during exams! Internship is starting soon, really soon. Pretty much excited yet worried! Gotta enjoy my time now before vox becomes my second home.

Had quite a few thoughts running through my mind these past weeks but the one that really lingered the most was bout the IJ! =) I sure do miss my secondary sch days very much, seeing my sister preparing for sch, gg for extra lessons, lunch aft class and all, goodness! For an IJian, be it ex or present, to view an IJian is totally different from someone not of the IJ family to view the us. Without a doubt, ive heard many comments bout IJ girls, bad ones infact - loud, snob, aa, noisy, you get the picture, hah! But really, i dont blame them cos afterall, they've nv experience the family warmth of the IJ family, the IJ spirit. All the memorable mass that we have, camps; self awareness esp, all the tears and laughters, fiesta, retreat; where we hug and patch up, valentine's day; the day of giving and receiving, sports day/ swimming carnival; we pon we scream we cheer, tchers days, youth day and the list goes on and most imptly the IJ spirit song which we nv fail to sing throughout any occassion. As the saying goes, i cant rem the exact phrase but it's something along this line, you can take away an IJ girl but u can never take the IJ out of the girl. you can take the girl out of the convent but you can never take the convent out of the girl. IJ ROCKS! I really miss IJ, you cant blame me, ive been the family for ten years, unlike my lucky peers who was in there for eleven! Hhahhaha

Gotta get ready, dear and i are gg on a double date with dick and his gf, i cant rem her name though. Gg to watch little man, mei told me it's lousy, we'll seee!

BLESSED BIRTHDAY NICOLE DEAR!!!!! Welcome into the family of 2-0! Hope ure having fun! hugsss
