3 more weeks! 3!! Yes, 3 more weeks and it'l will the end of my long long journey with PSB!! Oh... I can't wait! I have really learned a lot for the past 2months, you know, not just the technical skills about my future career, but also, a lot about myself, many a things that i never knew, knew but not put to test and others knew but never told me.
I think the 1 most important thing i learned in my journey is how to work with the people around me. Different people have different expectations. It is how important to know what role each play and what they want out of it, not just with peers, but with superiors as well.
Now armed with even more self-awareness, i hope i will be able to take some quiet time off by myself to do some quiet reflections. On myself, on the path that i shall take and on how to move on.
I wonder about my ability in becoming a PO in the future. It's starting to become not a job that i look forward to in the future. No doubt, the pay is good, that's like the only perk. ok, there's a second perk, you have reaeeellly nice colleagues, but that will depend if they're still there after i graduate in a year!
I think it all boils down to what you want as a job. PO has unhumanly long working hours, tight deadlines, many portfolio, no life, and often boiled up with the clients we deal with.
On the bright side, all POs shared the same tiredness and push each other on, on occasions, you do get really nice kids that makes your job seemed worth it.

I've being hard on myself, knowing so well that i could not have achieve so many things in such a short period of time, yet i somehow promised that i will and want do more. Sending the wrong message is no joke, coz my supervisor thinks that i could achieve more but i didn't. Aka, i am lazy and i don't care. No! i am not lazy and dosen't care! I can't live up to your expectations anymore!
I think maybe i shouldn't be too hard on myself, others have expectation, it's theirs, i know my own abilities and how much i can achieve, i am a slow learner.

On another note, yesterday was Shuli's last day at work, so me, Sheryl and Sabrina walked 1km to the nearest florist to get her flowers for her farewell! I didn't know wrapping flowers can be so expensive! The flowers, a whole bunch of champange roses only costs like $7.90! But the goddamn wrapping costs $25! I think i should consider becoming a florist, to hell with SWK! No lah, its very beautifully wrapped, and its shared between 7 of us, so it's not too bad. It's the thoughts that counts anyway! Shuli's face was filled with joy when she sees the flowers!
Oh, if anyone is interested to get flowers at relatively cheaper rates, i recommend the florists along Thomson Road, there are a couple of them, and could be because of competition and its wholesale. The one we went to was "Jimei".
Although the wrapping is expensive, it's nicer than what you get at shopping centers florist! The roses we bought were wrapped not in plastics wrappings, but fresh leaves, and it makes it all so natural and beautiful!
