A day off work at last. Food&HotelAsia this year wasnt as good as the one i went for previously. Perhaps it was the company i was with, or perhaps there just wasnt enough food samples. We were given the task get brochures from potential suppliers and to try out new flavours of icecream. So do not think we went there to show off our gluttony side. But i hate the fact that as students, we were under scrutiny from certain traders and deprived to sample their products esp wines. This is afterall a good experience.

I survived one week of work! =D
Other that those annoying lunchtime pest and smelly boots that i've to wear everyday, I've been enjoying myself. My supervisor, Uncle Lim takes good care of us. He always tells us to leave those heavy stuff to the guys, let them do the cleaning up cos we've err.. 16 weeks there. Plenty of time to learn to operate and clean the equipments.We'll be trying out new flavours of icecream next week. How cool is that?! Think peanut butter/lemon tea/rose-flavoured icecream. Those who wants a share, better treat me to dinners.
This has been a busy week cos of on-going production. I've been weighing and packing ingredients, helping out with the mixing, filling icecream into cups (this is seriously nerve-racking, but i'm getting the flow), conducting physical test and err socialising with Uncle. I'm trying to be friends with the moisture analyzer. It drives me mad cos i) it works differently from the one I used in school ii) burns my samples iii) i've to wait for a reallyyyyyyyy long time for the reading to stablise.
Do you remember I once blogged about looking forward to only lunchtime at HPB? I would say I seriously dread going out for lunch now. There is hardly any variety of food and I doubt they practice good hygiene in food preparation. Eeeks so much for working in a food production line. The worst has to be my encounters with chee-ko-peks. I was harassed for two days straight. Can you imagine I've to put up with those whistlings and dirty looks from men? I'm traumatised! I swear I'll flash my finger or give them a flying kick if they ever try anything funny.
Although I'm starting to enjoy work, I want longer weekends so that I've time for sleep, tv, meeting up with my girls. Sigh!
Enough about work, I've lots of photos to upload.
An impromptu kbox session to mark the start of SIP
Drinks at Harry. Probably the last time I'm seeing Bao.
Oh yes, I'll be going for Food Hotel Asia Exhibition. Think food and wine sampling! ((:

Feeling: melancholy 
For those who aren't aware, i'm being posted to a frozen dessert company (insert rant) for my internship. I cant think of words to describe how i feel now. I'm still in denial, but i guess i've to snap out of it and just pray that 16 weeks will breeze past. Sigh why must God play a terrible joke on me?

I'm pretty busy lately, just in case you're wondering why i'm onto one of my disappearing acts. In fact, i'm barely alive after being trampled on by Trojan horses. I would dare say I've mastered the skills to format the com now. Muahaha. Huissy said that i'm acting like a floating spirit without the computer, so much so that i've the patience to paint her nails and later remove them again. But aren't spirits supposed to be floating? Yes i know i'm being totally random again.
HAPPY APRIL FOOL PEEPS!
