Super Rich Internship

2 July, 2013

As the tittle suggests, I have now started my internship at Super Rich 1965 Money Exchange as the "Executive Photocopying Co - Assistant and Procastinator". And as my tone suggests, which by the way is sarcastic as hell, I am absolutely hating it here. Don't get me wrong. I am not some stuck up or spoilt daddy's girl who can't stand a day of hardwork. In fact, it's the opposite: there is NO friggin work for me to do and that's why I am bored. 

Let me explain myself a little more clear here. There are three branches of this company; all of which are located in the same soi. The two other fellow class/school mates that are joining this internship are stationed in relatively busy branches. I on the other hand am currently sitting in an empty office listening to random music blaring from the computer beside this lady (okay, she's pretty friendly but that's not the point). Occasionally, when there are customers I still don't get to do anything. Like literally I just sit here with my mobile phone. Urgh. This is my second day so you can't say I haven't tried. The firs day I put a lot more effort but still nothing has changed.

Oh well, I better get back to doing nothing and acting like I care. 

Will be back soon,

British Council

17 June, 2013

Remember I mentioned about the Inspire Scholarship I won? Okay, I'll just explain briefly now. Last year around August, I submitted an essay to the British Council and ended up winning! Awesome right?! Anyways, my prize was a 2 week scholarship to Cardiff Sixth Form College scheduled in Summer 2013. And as you can see from the date above, it is now Summer 2013. But. But I havent recived a confirmation from the British Council yet. All they have done is reassure me when I call them that, 'Yes, we will get back to you' or 'It will happen sometime in August'. It is annoying as hell because A) I need to plan out my Summer schedule. If this isn't happening I can make other arangments. B) I really want to go.

The main issue however is that I've already told people about it and I'm afraid I will loose face. Immature much?! I know.

So, the point of this post is that I am pissed of at the British Council. What makes matter worse is that since last year, there have been 4 replacements of the person in charge of the Inspire Scholarship. Everytime you talk to a new person, you have to start all over again.

I really hope this happens sometime in August. I shall visualize it. Laughs. No, seriously, I shall.

My lip is SWOLEN!

12 June, 2013

Okay. So I woke up early this morning as I'm traveling to Phnom Penh, Cambodia today. I went to the toilet, looked in the mirror, and boom: what do I see ? A SWOLEN LIP. I am not kidding right now. It's literally swollen and I feel like the worlds biggest idiot sitting here at the gate of Bangkok Airways. For memories sake, it's D5. 

Anyways, this isn't the first time this has happened. I remember a few years back, I think 5, my lips were swollen overnight in Chiangmai. It was because I was bitten by some insect and subsided in a while.The one I have now isn't as bad but I'm still upset about it.

I've tried ice, balm, and what not but nothing seems to work. I plan on taking an anti-allergy pill as soon as I have drinking water. And you know what they say: time heals all.

Let's hope that it gets better during the 1 hour ish flight though because :

A) I want to look nice in photos 

B) I don't want to meet my moms customers/clients/colleagues/ who-ever-the-hell-she-meets like this

C) I want to look like a sane person and I'm afraid that's not possible with retarded lips

Please universe.

Don't be too quick to judge!

June 2nd, 2013

Hello guys. So today I was with my family at this outdoor community mall kind of thing, and guess what? I met a long lost friend of mine! Laughs. Okay, maybe that's just an exaggeration. But it has been a year, exactly a year, since I met her. It wasn't planned as we just kind of bumped into each other.

Anyways, the point of this post will soon be clear. At first, I honestly thought she had changed and no longer wanted to associate with me- or something along those lines. When I met her though, she talked nicely to me and it was so great to catch up. This made me realize that sometimes we are too soon to judge people when the truth is they are not at all the way they seem.

Will be back soon,

Phnom Penh!

May 31, 2013

Okay. Relax. I currently have really bad period pains but that's not what I'm here to talk about.

I'm going to Cambodia! I'm not sure if I mentioned this yet but my mom has to go to Phnom Penh for work to attend some jewelry fair and I'm just going to tag along. I'm pretty excited to go there because it's always exciting to go to new countries.

With this trip, I'm going to take advantage of the new blog I set up called "Your Travel Guru". I'll be providing reviews of the places I go to there and general comments about the experience. I know this blog of mine is pretty mundane and boring but hopefully the other one will attract more readers.

Anyways, the trip is on 12-15 June. Still a long time but I'm looking forward to it nonetheless.

Nothingness....blah!

28 May, 2013

You know that feeling after a stressful day/week/month where all you want to do is nothing ? And then you do get to do nothing and it feels wonderful. And then you to back to whatever you were doing previously and start to miss doing nothing ? Well, let's just say that's how it's supposed to be. Because I, my friend, have had the privilege (or fate) to have to experience a staggering 5 days of nothingness and a further 90 days or so of potential nothingness. Do you even get what my point is here? I've had enough. This waking up at noon, not showering, going on YouTube binges, eating spree, DIY projects maniac, and so on, is no longer my idea of fun.

Anyways I'm not going to complain no more because that's something losers do. I'm going to take matters into my own hand. Starting from June onwards, I'm going to practice piano since my exam is in October. I'm also going to restart mandarin classes and hopefully prepare for HSK Level 4 as soon as I'm ready for it. I plan to schedule and IELTS exam soon and do practice papers before hand because I might need them when I'm applying to universities this September. Moreover, I can prepare for AS English Language which I planned to take during the October/November session as well as work on my personal statement. Oh Wow. That's impressive. See, you can always be productive if you want to ? Now the question is, can I actually accomplish this?

Whatever. There is also the Cardiff Sixth Form College scholarship thing that I won! Hopefully it will actually take place in August like British Council said it would. I'm really excited for this because it's the first time I'll be traveling outside of Asia (that is if you count Australia as Asia). But more importantly, I'll be traveling alone. Like alone alone. I would learn so much from this experience, create memories that will last a life time, and I'm really looking forward to it.

Besides this, in July my family and I are planning a trip to Phuket. How can it feel like Summer if you don't get to go the the beach right? That should be fun. Beach! Sun!

Ah, plus I found out today that my cousin, more precisely uncle who is my age, is coming from India soon. And maybe also another cousin from Malaysia. So yeah.

That's it for now. I've for more important things to be doing now. Yeah, like procrastinate in school.

Will be back soon,

Hello Again.

26 May, 2013

Hello again people. It's been forever. I'm aware of that. Frankly, I haven't had the time for it with all the exams and everything. Well actually it's more like this, I feel guilty blogging during exam times even though I ain't studying. Anyways enough with the exam talks, I'm sick of them!

So, what else has been going on ? I've been helping my sister start her YouTube Vlogs. After persuading her for like months she finally agreed to it. Isn't hat awesome ? Except our camera (basically the IMAC) and sound system sucks real bad. And I guess that puts off most potential viewers. Nevertheless, it's a start. I'm the Blogger and she's the Vlogger. Happy family. Laughs.

Oh and I've also tidied my room, closet, and make-up/jewelry area. I've been neglecting it lately so it feels kind of good to be organized again. This is what I usually do, make it super neat and the. after a while it becomes a mess again. The cycle then continues.

This year, I've also made a decision not to go to Prom. Because frankly prom is overrated and I can't be bothered to get all dressed up and pay a 1000-ish bucks (that's in baht by the way which is like 30-ish dollars). So, no Prom for me this year. I'll go next year though because it's senior year. Oh my god. SENIOR YEAR! I just had like a mini heart attack over here. Okay so my high school life was not like how it is in the movies, but still, it still feels kind of good I guess.

What else ? Hmm. There is this community service trip to Khao Yai coming along. The prefect team organized it. We're going to be visiting a local school/orphanage to donate some stuff and teach them English. So yeah, tht should be a fun experience.

Anyways enough for today. I'll probably be blogging a lot now because I have around 3 months holiday before school starts.

Will be back soon,
S.
