Interesting Job
Things started to get a little more interesting as i went into my 2nd and 3rd day of work. The unfortunate thing was the need to come back on alternate saturdays which is why I am in office now! Then again, its a norm to work on saturdays for property management.
We walked into tenant's premises to see air-cons, climb to the roof top to see water coolers and to the basement to look at chillers. Walking about in the building definately helps to kill time. I also began handling calls regarding tenants' complaints. Most of them were friendly although i heard my colleagues talking about some unreasonable ones.
There was a guy, lets call him Complain King, in one of the units from an insurance company. He was sitting next to the window and complained that the noise from the expressway, since we are next to ECP, is distracting him from working. Thus, we sent a technician to check who reported that the window was properly sealed. However, Complain King was still unhappy and continued to call us and claim that we did not do anything to solve his problem. He even chided our admin assistant and threaten to storm into our office!
I think Complain King is a bit paranoid since he is not the only one sitting next to the window. Usually, people would love to sit there due to the eye-catching view from our Grade A office building; overlooking the distant Indonesia islands of the Riau Archipelago, Sentosa and southern islands to the west.
The solution: Buy an ear plug for him :)

Happy 30th month anniversary
Today marks 2.5 years of relationship with my dear eileen.
How time flies ...
Suddenly, i feel like a poet:
Gone were the days when we were young,
between the years is where we grew strong,
now is the time when we become bold
to continue this relationship long and on

Intership at CB Richard Ellis
Yesterday, I went to CBRE's head office at Standard Chartered Building to meet with with the director regarding the intership. The director, Marianne Ang, was a nice lady who told me what to do and tell me more about the job scope.
Today, i arrived at 78 Shenton Way, where i will be working for the next 10 weeks. Bus 700 was crowded with so many people; plus the jam was quite bad that i though i would be late on the first day of my work. However, things saw an abouturn when i reach Orchard area thanks to the provision of bus lanes. In the end, i was 25 minutes early.
Formerly Apollo Centre, now know as Shenton Building, it is undergoing construction to build an extension Tower 2. I was to work in the management office alongside 5 colleagues; The Complex Manager, Asst Complex Manager, M&E Manager, Pty Executive and an admin assistant.
The Complex Manager decided not to assign me any work on the first day and here i am blogging and surfing the net.
Shenton Building, supposedly a Grade A office building, looks rather old although the artist's impression of the revamped and renovated office looks excellent in the brochures. The systems in the building are non-intelligent at all as you can only monitor the components of the building but not control them. The only thing that can be monitored and controlled is the air-con. I went to check the web and found an article that state that Grade A buildings are generally those in prime locations, have column free floor plates, high ceilings and are well maintained. I guess Shenton Building does meet those criteria. The Assistant Complex Manager termed the systems in the BAS room "dinosaur".
This marks the first day of my intern job. Oh ya, i ate muslim food. The rice was quite appetizing and i finished everything as i was famished.

Exams are over ...
Exams fianlly ended with a big bang !!! Hopes that i will be able to do well ... somehow, the feeling's not right. This exam seems so different from the past 2 i had taken ... Nevertheless, I put my faith in God to bless me in maintaing my cap score, amen.
No matter what, I am really trying to put the exams behind me and look forward to December, one filled with lots of fun and joy. First up, going to Shanghai this Saturday. Will be back on Thursday :) Really looking forward to it and have some fun over there. It's gonna be cold out there. A song kept whirling in my mind:
" hao leng .... xue yi jing ji de na me shen ... are u my snow-man, wo shen ai de ren ..."
Next up, it will be a great christmas; hoping to see positive exams results so that i can play heartily during the festive season. Finally, I will hop onto SQ once again for a trip Vietnam with my aunt and company ...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Oh yes finally e birthday celebration is over !! Really spent quite an effort preparing e food and stuffs .. Fri was such rush cos i had lessons till 6pm and by e time i got home, it was already 7plus. Combined with e JAM at Bukit Timah rd n entrance of AMK Hub's carpark, i only managed to reach NTUC at 830pm! All was nt lost, i had prepared a long list of all e essentials and went straight into filling our trolley with food and stuffs :) Managed to get almost everything in by 10pm minus a few items that were sold out.
FAMISHED ...
Quickly went to S11 to buy this gigantic packet of mee fen and some "liao" to go with it ... gobbled everything away...
Carried on to marinate e poultries, massage massage, beautiful :)
By e time i finished, it was half past 1, quickly drove back home cos gotta wake up early e next morning to buy fresh seafood... my mum sort of knows e uncle and he gives discount... 2kg of prawns, 2kg of sotongs, 4kg of stingray to add on to e long list of food i bought from ntuc :P
my uncle even added in 100 otahs and 200 sticks of satay for my guest list of about 50 people...
Came sat and had to wrap all e seafood, poke in all e meat and stuffs, it was definately hard work. Thank goodness help came from dear, linda, hy, jt,wc,wr,cindy n siqi we managed to finish eveyhthing fast enough for some majong session !!
Then rain came!!! arghhh i was hoping n hoping but it kept on drizzling. Nevertheless, decided to get on with it @ 6pm. All thanks to weilun, Jm n Jl to help me start e fire. By 7pm, e little pavilion was bustling with noise :) e food was coming slow cos only had 2 fire pits. So e mee fen, curry, crackers, shruddles were running out fast !!
It was definately chaotic but great to see so many frens. Little joy was having e most fun going around to take pictures. In e end, there were so much food left n no one could eat anymore !! hmm quite sad to have wasted so much food but better than having nt enough food. The 2 cakes were delicous courtesy of VILLAGE n PAVILION ~~
Received several pressies n i thank my family, dear n family, all my frens n relatives for coming to make e day a special one ... e pics should come in shortly i hope :)

lookin' forward to sat !!
busy busy day !!! look at all e notes on my bed ~~ studying is tiresome and boring !!! but reading a little everyday beats having to gobble up e book when exam come :)
Went for this steamboat at CRYSTAL JADE (HOLLAND V) on monday. It was Awesome :) Free flow of Xiao Long Baos and lots of sliced beef, pork and mutton. There are appetizers, drinks,desserts as well. Very value for money, net price at $21.50. This buffet is highly recommended~~~ When viv told me i was like "huh... since when did crystal jade hv buffet?" As real as it can be, had an early birthday dinner with viv and bf plus her fren (dunno is call siti or ..), yiling, candy, moses and dear. thanks gals for e treat ~~ The only not so perfect thing was that we got to starve ourselves till 830pm when it starts but u can certainly eat till u 'song'.
With friday arriving, dear and I are pretty excited about going to buy the food and stuffs for saturday's BBQ. Talking about "dear and I", gets me so frustrated cos no matter how many times i tell my china boy(tutee) that he cant write "he and I", he still does it ! He also had e cheek to repeat mistakes i taught him juz 2 days ago !!! taboleh tahan ~~ okies ... digress a little :) so my dear is now trying to crack her brains for a theme on sat !!
Sat is going to be a busy day as well cos gotta wake up early to buy fresh seafood before going to dear's house to prepare e food. cya my frens on sat !!
Oh ya, and my dear juz cant take it when i speak to her in PERFECT english. i guess it was too perfect she could not take it. The other day, she was looking at a pair of shoes, i kept repeating "the shoe is awesome." She was saying "can u dun repeat e same thing?" SO i went, " well, it looks as though the shoe was made for for your legs :)"
SHE FAINTED !!
and refused to speak to me unless i return to channel 8 ...

school reopens ~~
School is finally beginning. Today marks my 2nd year in university though i am officially considered to be a year 3, ironic !! Nevertheless, i hope this semester will be a better one than last semester. My mind seems to be so calm now somewhat. Went for church service last Sunday and the pastor somewhat caught my attention and touched my heart. For now, i will always remember this line, " Ask and you shall receive" !!
It's such great cos u know u are blessed. Being able to see my school mates again was great. Badminton was fun yesterday, having made the 2 gals run like mad !! whhhaaa isnt that what badminton is all about ~~ nevertheless feeling a little ache here and there now :)
Somewhere, somehow i am beginning to look forward to this term cos i know it will be a great one minus the exam period !! For now, i am worries-free and i hope my family and loved one, frens around me, and everyone i know can feel the calmness that words cannot describe.
Sure we all have problems but if you look at e world, you will actually find that yours is such a small one. So, rejoice ppl :O
