Yay! Blogger is finally okay! I'm elated. Well, because I feel so sad not being able to write.
Anyway, my internship ended and I'm starting school tomorrow! So fast!
Hmm, I didn't cry on my last day. But I felt a little emotional though. 3 months does mean something.
On my last day there on friday, I went for breakfast outside with JingYun, Weishan, Ray and Yizhuang because JingYun drives:):) We went to this very nice place. Guess where? Saddle Club! I saw the horses there and suddenly, I just felt a sense of calm and peace enter me and my heart melted upon seeing them. I definitely must save enough to buy a horse and upkeep it in future!
Okay here's one random photo I took with my colleagues there. I haven't uploaded some others I took.
Youyi and Qiqi:)
I watched my very first horror film, Where Got Ghost! 吓到笑! It's really good. In fact, I watched it twice. Haha.
I'm planning to watch the korean film Scandal Makers too.
But I'll have to be more calculative with my money for the next couple of weeks because I need to spend on my hair and makeup for Joyce's wedding. Luckily I already have my gowns and my manicure and pedicure have already been paid the last time I went to monsoon.
Starting school lessons tomorrow. I guess it's more of excitement to be going to learn what I'm really interested in. Well, at least now I don't have to engage in boring modules that wouldn't even bring me anywhere near my career aims. Yeah YAY!
That's all for now. I'll update again soon!

Blogger is in a mess again. So once again, I can't post properly. I can't upload photos.

Portal problem solved! Thanks to the efficient UB coordinator.

Today had a nice time in the morning chatting with my friends from my dept during breakfast. Everyone seemed extra chatty today:) I'm usually not that chatty in the mornings but this morning's different.
I wanted to watch Where Got Ghost on monday but ALL THE TICKETS WERE SOLD OUT! GRR!
If only I knew about the gala earlier. Would have gone for the gala.
And I'm convinced that I die die also must watch 吓到笑! Partly to support boris, but actually all along I've loved watching their movies. EVERYONE GO WATCH alright? =)

School's starting soon, in about 3 weeks time. Luckily there's celeste around who'll be in the same course as me. Oh yes, reminds me, I need to call SIM to check certain things. Messy. All because I'm changing course. And the portal doesn't contain any UB info. I'm wondering why. So must call up to bug them.

Over the past couple of weeks, I feel like I'm so easily bugged, as in antangonized. And I need to be more unkind. Seriously.
But of course, I got to know several nice people:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!
You are 44 years old!
Every year this time, my heart goes through a heck load of emotions. I love this pretty little red dot so much. Remember I mentioned about attending last saturday's national day rehearsal? My eyes brimmed with tears as I sang the national anthem and watched the flag fly past me. It's just so touching and heartwarming. Maybe it's just because I'm an emotional wreck. I'm sure my friends will agree to that.
This year's national day parade is really excellent! Though it's really a pity that I don't have tickets to the actual day parade today. I watched it on tv. And said the pledge at 8.22pm. I can say confidently and proudly that I am very very proud to be a singaporean and I love singapore!

My aunt's getting married next month. It came as a surprise to me because although she has been with him for quite a long time, I didn't expect marriage to be on their cards. I thought they'll just be together without being bound by marriage. I feel so happy for her. But I'm sad that my grandmother can no longer physically attend her wedding.
Ever since the passing away of my grandmother, I've been crying everyday without fail. Although I try not to cry in front of my parents and colleagues, I still cry when I'm alone. Told you I'm an emotional wreck.
But I guess probably only 2 or 3 of my truckloads of friends can really understand my feelings because only they had been through almost the same thing and they were probably one of the only ones who were as close to their grandmothers as I were.
Truthfully, suicidal thoughts did ran through my mind. But I filtered them away as I'm strong willed. I know, my dying probably would help but cause more problems because people around me will still have to rush around settling my wake and funeral and stuff. So dying isn't a solution at all. Don't worry my friends, I will never attempt to do such a silly thing. I just feel like some part of me inside as died. But I will not die now because I have not yet fulfil a number of my dreams.

It was a rather hectic day today. At first I was slacking because I had to wait for the scripts to be done. And then after that when the scripts were done, I had to do the subtitles at the CG machine which is really really old. The third part was so rushed, luckily it was rather short.
Anyway, do watch 前线追踪 tonight. It's on 2 stories. One about a bird problem at hawker centres and the other is on ndp celebrity bloggers. Yup, both are really interesting! :)

Oh yes. On wednesday, quite a number of my friends came to mediacorp. It was nice seeing them there. Chendi went to participate in the variety programme 我要唱下去. I only went to Studio 1 for a little while but I had to settle my trailers so I had to go off. But I liked the sudio setting for that programme. Now I understand why some programmes have nicer settings. Can't write those things here though.
After that, it was rather late already so I decided to go off with celeste when she had to rush to her workplace at vivo.

Monday is a public holiday for national day! Haha but I still have to go to work. Need to package the programme so that it can be aired on tv. That's 世界一周on channel U by the way. Don't know why there's channel U programme for me to do. I do mostly channel 8 programmes.
Oh anyway, don't miss 早安您好on channel 8 on monday too!

Crazy. I feel like I'm mass advertising for the programmes. Haha nevermind.
Hmm. 3 weeks more and I'll be leaving mediacorp. Don't know how I should feel. But I'll definitely miss the people there. Maybe I'll go back after graduation. But I guess should be another department although people in my department are really nice. I want to try a few other departments.

Okay, I've talked too much about work on my blog.

Hmm coming to think of it. Now that I'm changing course, I should just change to veterinary science instead. My precious grandma isn't around anymore and the next best thing for me should be hanging around with animals. At least, the animals do feel for me, unlike most unfeeling humans. And that's like my dream all along, that is to be a vet.

But nevermind, I'm changing to arts in communication. At least for the first half of my career life, I shall just do media. After that then I'll reconsider taking a vet course overseas and coming back to singapore to open my own vet clinic. That will be almost heaven.
I still can't upload photos because blogger is still facing problems.
It's ok. Forget it.

I enjoyed myself yesterday. Courtesy of my mum's boss, I had 2 NDP Preview tickets! I went with doreen(my aunt). Woohoo! This year's performance is better than last year's. Seriously.
It's been years since I had the chance to attend NDP. This year's choreography for most of the performances were really good. I especially enjoyed the one with the terror attack at marina, the gymnastics and the little red dots performance. And of course, I loved the marching and the march past.

The singing of the national anthem this year was touching. I had reflections, flashbacks about singapore and the people. As I sang the national anthem and watched the flag fly past us, tears welled up in my eyes. It was an undescribable feeling.
That is why I've always longed to perform for NDP or to be in the planning committee.
I believe I'll have the chance to do so in future.
As for now, for the next 2 plus years, I need to finish up my studies well, do extremely well. Yes.
And then when I step out into the workforce, I'll probably get a job that will either give me enough time to perform every year, or even better, to be in the NDP planning committee. Won't be that hard to get a job like that I think, because I'm planning to go into media and arts. Maybe MDA or Mediacorp or PA or government associations. Or jumping about these few companies will be nice too.
Actually, I had originally wanted to join the singapore military but as you my friend would probably know, I don't enjoy having to be one of the only females hanging out with all males most of the time although there are many extremely handsome looking guys in there.

Personally, I liked the hosts this year a lot too! There's Mark Lee, Gurmit Singh, Michelle Chong, Suhaimi and Vernetta Lopez! They were absolutely entertaining and hyped. :) Here's a toast to you guys!!

Maybe I'll just upload the photos on facebook since blogger refuses to troubleshoot it's problem.
