YES! Finally my turn to say that my IAP is over. Well, I am late by one week, it was quite a busy week for me, but not working. So I got my new computer! YAY!! But I think I just screwed my registries. Have to reformat soon... Argh.

Presentation slides started late, last minute work. Right now I am lack of sleep, black eye rings are soon becoming eye bags -_-''' and I can imagine GZ snoring away, as he did not get to sleep last night too. At least I get to sleep this morning at 6.30am and woke up at 9.30am. Hahaha.

Ok, back to my original topic...I actually typed this last Saturday already, wanted to slam another design. But ohh well, the design have to wait then. So, I was saying....I extended my help (yesyes,call me kind or call me stupid) to work for them till Valentine. Well, I guess I did try to help and lighten the workload. It was hectic just packing single stalk roses. Argh, I did close to 2000 stalks ok. My back and neck aches from those packing (can't helped being tall XD).

So IAP is finally over, and I do feel a little sadness when leaving there. I made good friends, and had a very good mentor to guide me through this six months. I tried my best to absorb what he taught when we were out on projects. We share jokes, gossips, and talk about his interests and his dreams. He is the first person I met, that does jobs professionally, provided that the client is reasonable,and not without common sense that says: I want CNY flowers,but dont want cherry blossoms,pussy willows and fox face. Mentors reply: Chrysanthemums can anot?! This one is from a hotel's housekeeping manager. He is, I think the only one that is suitable to be a boss of a company, because he got what it takes to be a boss.

So, back to where I was. Though it was tiring and frustrating at times while working at Candy, I personally learned a lot from the working world, that I will soon be in. I am glad that I have completed my IAP, without regrets. Though I wanted to join NParks, hahaha. But it's fine that I was in the floriculture industry. Maybe somehow, I was more interested to flower arrangements, and stuffs that a florist do.

Again, this IAP changed me. It changes my perceptions towards how I see and interprets arrangements, decorations and how things are done. Before IAP, my instant thought towards a christmas tree would be, ohh nice colours on the tree. But after getting involved in decorating, it appears to me that how the decorator go about decorating it. Decorating a tree ALONE is not easy. I tried it, and it took me nearly 3 hours to just do up a 6 feet artificial christmas tree (including decorations, wiring and setup of the tree).

I enjoyed it, I did stuff independently. I was trained to do stuff independently. I am glad that my attachment made me what I am now.

This is, another turn in my life. Now, a long path ahead before another turn.
And,I need my beauty sleep.......ZzZzZzzz...
is it me?or its....
