Yesss... finally back from blog hibernation... been busy with work, rag n everything else... well, procrastination & laziness have played a part too... so shall make it up with a substantial entry...
Part 1: The End of the InternshipEnded work 2 weeks ago with many important lessons & experiences learnt... some the fun way... some the hard way...
like handling an absolutely bitchy pharmacist (who ironically loves the sales rep instead)...
being told off for bugging a short-tempered doc...
being banned from the hospital for probing too much with my survey...
and eventually finding out tt my researched product wasn't very promising...
Nevertheless these are indeed priceless compared to taggin a hospital pharmacist for 6 weeks... and the consolation was tt the management were impressed enough with my presentation, so i shan't complain heh...
Ultimately, I was glad I had great company during my attachment... the 3 interns I could bitch with, my adorable hardworking supervisor whom I could connect with, and my dear irritating product specialist whom I could squabble with [oklah he can be really nice too heh :o) ]... in fact, we colleagues went on a trip to genting and spent the weekend being absolute tourists... foot reflexology, shopping & sauna in kl... casino, more shopping & overnight tai di in genting... haiyo i'm feeling more like a "malay-pore" by the day man, haha
Will miss this wacky bunch of ppl, hope to keep in touch wif them in years to come :o)
4 Power suits in the boardroom...
Farewell outing at Barcelona with the marketing managers...
Me fav supervisor Sally :o)
Part 2: The Hair Show
Michael called me up to be his hair model for his toni & guy academy graduation hair show, so how couldn't I resist a free haircut & color, & a chance to prance around on the catwalk?
He stuck to red highlights (this time
super bright red, too bad it was only semi-permanent... which has faded by now)... along with more
bright red hair additions... so coupled with the pink haute couture dress & fishnet stockings, I looked like a kinky jap character... embarassing sia... oh well, at least it was way more fun as one of the 3 special hair-up models than modelling normal clothes... the other 2 was a hot moulin rouge look and a cool freaky veiled hair look... Michael definitely deserves his best student award :o)
Not to forget my makeup stylist, who gave me the most colorful makeup i've seen, n i still look pretty good in it, heh... reds, pinks and golds with purple eyelashes... really creative
Model wannabe...
The models & Micheal at Club Momo...
The corpse, the Lian, the Stripper, the Jap fantasy and the Pontianak...
Part 3: Centennial Rag Dance
This is the year of stripping... We poor rag dancers had to strip twice... from white flowy togas skimpy amazon warrior skirts... wah lau, never felt so exposed in my life before... haha... but I have to admit that this year's dance choreo is the best of my 4 years in hall, just too bad we didn't win the centennial shield... we really had a fighting chance... just tt maybe the costumes (tt we singlehandedly sewed ourselves, sad huh) and the makeup (which Celia & I stayed up the whole night doing) weren't impressive enough, since they were thrown together at the last minute...
For those who didn't see the dance, the theme was about a girl, Sarah... whose colorful vision of celebrated life was taken away by the Dark Prince, resulting in her blindness and the change of the float and dancers to greyscale... then the Light Prince rescues her and returns her vision back to its full color and eventually defeats the Dark Prince, albeit in a violent way (he chops the creature's head off)... not a bad idea in my opinion really... just that the execution was less than satisfactory sadly...
Oh well, last year to dance rag anyway, n I felt all nostalgic and melancholic on that sunny Saturday... especially when everyone started singing the KR family song, funny how the years flew and you're graduating soon already... and everything you do this year will be your last... so I guess I'll be treasuring every single event I can now... for the last time...
5th floor neighbors!!
On the pick-up ride...
The KR rag dancers...
The KR Raggers & float...
Ended up totally exhausted after tt of course, but didn't really have a nice long sleep since i was tossing & turning over my badly burnt left shoulder... so much for wearing togas...*ouch*...still hurts... hope it doesn't peel off in chunks...gross... (although neighbors said i look much better with a red tint and pseudo-rosy cheeks... hmm i get the point, i need a bloody tan, heh)
Anyway had weird intermittent naps... 3-8pm.... 12-5am... 9am-1pm... all these with a feverish aching body & a bad sore throat... well at least i'm feeling much better now... since i did sneaked in a few fries today... tempted... so had to counter it with a gazillion more fisherman friends and ice lemon tea, heh
Part 4: NDP
Finally on this night's NDP eve concert held for the first time at Marina (yup where ppl fly kites on a romantic afternoon)... And ironically this is the first time i've ever been to an NDP celebration since my 5 years of stay here, hehe... so yeah, I was pretty jakun and excited about the event tt I dragged my classmates out at the last min (one eventually ffk, sighhh) so I could spectate the fireworks firsthand...
The concert wasn't much... almost died listening to 2 chinese boybands (K-one & 128 club or sth) and I only caught FIR's last song Lydia (no wonder I didn't really bother going to their celebrations, but it was not tt bad lah)... and the ground was grossly muddy, got my white sandals and feet totally soiled, sighhh... but at least it was worth the fireworks lah... love the parachute-like, the morning glory & the spiral-like designs... when can m'sia ever reach tt level of precise & creative choreo? not in the near future, sadly...
