Holidays Thus Far

This post will start with another lament that I hasn't been blogging lately. Well.. the workplace is kinda calm and I only have another week to go before the start of my summer holidays.

Hmmm... Let's start with my work. The website is more or less up but I can foresee more changes before it can go live. Basically I've been left to work on my own; without much interference or supervision. With no background knowledge of web design prior to the attachment, somehow I'm manage to negotiate all the html and javascript and put together something decent. Really have to thank all who gave their kind assistance along the way.

My supervisor is also the boss but he's away in China until end of the week. This means that I don't know who to ask to write the report for me. Can only wait and see...

Last Friday I saw Felicia Chin at the canteen where I usually had my lunch. I know no picture no talk but was too paiseh to ask to take picture. She was fashionably dressed (those high-cut boots) and her face is really small. Her make-up was very thick too. The logical explaination was that she had some photoshoot at Mediacorp Publishing (located in the same building as the canteen).

Tempted to ask whether she has boob job; in the end some journalist already posted the answers on Lianhe Zaobao. (Who believes anyway??)

So what's going to happen after the internship ends? Well the first thing will be trying to finish the application for exchange. Some of the courses have be approved so now I need to find the time to write my study plan and get the necessary academic references.

Then there will be a trip to Hong Kong with Mom and Sis. Haven't planned anything concrete yet because I couldn't find the Hong Kong Lonely Planet in the library. Hong Kong is quite standard; 买东西,吃东西,买东西,吃东西。。。Ocean Park perhaps? Will be going to Macau as well. From the pictures Macau's architecture looks very Europrean and the Casinos there seem extravagant.

Perhaps our trip will be subsidized by Stanley Ho, Sheldon Adelson or Steve Wynn. LOL...

There may be another short trip after HK but nothing's confirmed yet. This holidays will be pretty low-key compared to the last one. F1's training will be starting in July as well although it will be only on two weekends. Quite looking forward to the event although I hasn't been an ardent F1 fan.

By the way I've also sent in the application for the YEP in India and there will be an interview on Thursday. After seeing Ho Teck & Kendrick doing two YEPs, I think that YEP will be a great experience. Somehow things seem to be falling nicely into place as they are looking with people with web design capability (something which I've been doing over the past 2 months).

King Khan

Just finished reading a book on Shahrukh Khan which also offers outsiders insight into Bollywood. Bollywood is not the real India; Indians are never big fans of realism. Who will mind a little escapism in the cinema when they have to face the real India everyday?
