more abt work.

time flies at work whether u r enjoying it or not. so u might as well make the best of it. i'm going to b put into different teams so i get the max amt of exposure i can get from getting an idea of life in a architectural practice.

i'm an intern so they just ask me to occupy office spaces of any guy whose on mc for the moment. currently, the guy whose seat i'm occupying happens to fall into dis mc category so i get to use his space for a few weeks. he has like a shit load of sting n jay chou n jj lin on his shared folder, which means good music everyday on his earphones which he left on his desk. i also happen to b enthroned in a very culturally rich sector of the office. my bay's lucky plaza. i'm surrounded by filipino pplez lolz. they discuss over plans, sections n elevation diagrams in tagalog. adds flavour to the working envrionment. the next bay adjacent to mine is wad i call chinaland n thailand, for obvious reasons lolz.

dat aside office life has made me realize dat school life is definitely much more varied n more fun. its not dat i'm not enjoying myself, its just different, dats all. but one thing abt dpa is dat they r realli welfare pple. one just has to look at the pantry n just start salivating. i'm told other firms just haf a water dispenser as their pantry.

yesterday the southern gate pple went for an excursion to the farms n nurseries in lim chu kang. they dragged me along also. was realli very educational n definitely not a wasted trip. we also dropped by sungei buloh, which left me silently telling myself dat i should go watch the birds there at dawn b4 i go play soldier. ok these days i'm summarizing so much dat i'm not making any sense anymore.

one week realli does fly. work gets tiring n kinda routine after awhile, but when u look back at wad u've done n do a stockcheck of wad u learnt in these 2 weeks, it feels rewarding. francis once said dat pple at his firm r all underpaid. underpaid in the sense dat the work they do is their passion, n no amt of cash can account for dat.

morning jog n novena tomorrow. bed bed.
