Really appreciate every single advices and attention given. I apologize if there are things that ive said or done that could have hurt anyone, i dont hv intention to do so.

Day 16 (4th Week)

Monday, 26th April 2010.

Woke up very early in the morning, not as usual as i need to send my precious youngest sis to school before going to work. My parent were on outstation for few days, but they'll be back in KL later today :)

Reaching the lrt station, give my dearly mr. Superman a call. Feeling great hearing his voice over the phone. I must say, his voice sounds very comforting and it somehow really convince me (on the last night conversation) that whatever it is, we'll make it through everything together. If only i can tell the world who is it my mr. Superman is. (Well, superhero's identity must be kept very privately as possible huh? Except the Iron Man. Haih.)

Alright. Alright. Enough about my personal life. Talking about my internship now. Arrived as usual precisely at 8am. (Daym, i want to share the Mary Jane Pump story!!!!!! Alright, maybe later okay..Daym.) There was a potponed task that i need to do as a very first thing in the morning. I need to call Miss. Sim Eng, iP Financial Control Exec to remind her that i need the IT Financial Management File ASAP as required by Kak Sha. I sent her a reminder email and give her a call. She said she will come over to my place to hand me the file once she gets her team lead's signature. My first task is done. Now what? Asking Kak Sha and Rizal on what to do.

Rizal asks me to update the CMMI Training Material slideshow, and he wants it at the end of the day. Well, i know i'm capable enough to finish it by lunch hour, so i decided to keep it slow :) Hence, i email Mr. Someone Special... we replying emails quite a while and then he told me he can access the web messenger. Yeay! (Yup, i'm nearly jump around excitedly Ngee~)Without delaying any second, i sign into my web messenger too :-* How i miss him so much as he misses me (blushing :-o) We accompany each other for a while (It's unfair that he didn't have any particular task to do in the morning :( But well, it's cool. he can kill my boredoom :)

Next thing before lunch hour, Kak Sha asks me to get a ITSM Work Processes files (all 13 of them) to be converted as pdf files and to be sent via email to her and Rizal. At first i thought it will be an easy task. Because the machine is totally cool. It can do almost everything!! (Yup, jakun jap) All i need to do is, scan the files (each 100+ pages) in pdf format, and then send it from the machine to my email. Cool huh? Then from my email, i'll just need to rename the files accordingly and double check eveything before send it to Kak Sha and Rizal. Daym, it took me hours!! Precisely 4 hours!! to finish the job. Yes, again, i went home late.

Reached home at about 8 o'clock. (The driver was late :( )

Tired. Sleepy. Esok nk teman my teman lelaki puasa! :)

Day 14

Thursday, 22nd April 2010.

Woke up to a very sad sad morning :(( It is always, always been the second child syndrome at home. I bet it will last forever. Regardless that, i am me, always that loving daughter, caring sister, always am a good and concern friend, a truly heartfully sincere lover. And i'll always be. No matter what. My late grandmother always said "Biarlah orang buat jahat kat kite, kite jangan sesekali buat jahat kat orang". She's always right. Always. I adore her patient when handling me and my sis naughty-ness and stubborn-ness. And i believe i have that in me. The patient. And my someone dearly loved also said the same thing; i have that precious value in me. I just can't stop believe in that. Can't stop believe in myself. Let them be, if they don't love me. I love myself more. (And yes, i know he loves me dearly) That's matter the most.

Owh, talking about him, my jack, he's leaving Bangi for a site visit at Negeri Sembilan. And he got a chance to wear that CIDB course helmet!! Daym! (Bile la i nk pakai nih..membazir je..) Take care, hummhumm :) Will wait for your call :>

Work. Work and work. Later at 4pm, i'll be attending a Training for Microsoft Project Professional 2007 at Level 16, Menara Perak. In other words, i'm preparing myself for my FYP preparation :)

I can't go back late today! My aunt at Shah Alam is having a kenduri doa selamat for her flight to New Zealand (immigrates there) )

Now at 3pm, i'm still doing some editing and printing certifications for ITSM Trainings. Sangat bosan, okay..looking at those names that i don't even know who; not like i want to pun. Haih. Felt a bit lonely because he's not around. And all i get from him are reports via text. "Jauhnya perjalanan. Xsampai lg." (Yup, he sounded like orang tua kn) "Dah sampai n sgt busuk biomass plant ni." (Yup, i'm his doc, his gf, his supervisor, his everything~) :D Alright, the truth is, he knows i haven't got a chance to reload my prepaid, so he knows i can't reply his text, hence he sending me those "reports" :p **Baby, if you read this, hehe sorry mengomel sorg2, very sleepy!! Sgt miss you!**

Day 12

Tuesday, 20th April 2010.

Yes, i'm ready for tonne of works today. As i was left with no work yesterday (Due to the multi-tasking work management that i practicing, i had finished all assignments and tasks ahead their due date. Haih) Well, my hummhumm said; it's actually a very good thing :) He's very supportive, isn't him??

But...at 10am...i'm done with my first task of the day - Comparing CMMI Overview Slide with ITSM:ISO 20K Overview Slide. Now, i'm more like a kiddo who wants more sweet candies (which in my case; work! work! work!) But all they said are "Later, mia" "Give me a sec, i'll come back to you?" And all i get is...NOTHING. Haih.

My hummhumm also nowhere to be found :(( Suddenly MIA. FB Chat really is ENVY him chatting with me. Daym!


At 1130am i was given a task on documenting some ITSM:ISO 20K work processes along with some filing work. That will be my task for the whole day today. Yeay! (Not as excited as it sounds tho :-| )


My hummhumm is not feeling well; headache. Probably he got a muscle fever. In a way, it affects his well-being and some how without us realizing it, it does affects our "long-distance" relationship as well. Daym. I felt sorry for us, it was my fault tho. Now i don't know what to do, how to feel, even what to say. Why are this happening. Why now? Felt like crying.

Owh well, now (1545pm) that i'm occupied with some tasks, all those crazy feelings fade away. (Alright, yes, after hearing his voice and listening to his songs, WT, i felt much better)

Feel like meeting him up after work. What say you?

Day 11 (3rd Week)

Monday, 19th April 2010.

The Week 3 of internship :)

It's a lovely Monday morning, what a very good morning to start a day. However, i don't feel motivated enough to pursue the whole day with a smile and determination. Don't know why. Maybe it's the monthly-you-know what. Or maybe it's the not-so-excellent previous semester exam result. Or maybe because i had already finished the ITSM Training Trackking tasks (last Friday) that were meant to be done by Tuesday; hence left me with workless (or should i say, null-work?) I'm not sure what it is that makes my day feel so hazey-lazy-mazy to the max!!

As i'm about to go and have a walk around the office (macam boss la pulak, hihi) someone i dearly miss (yea we just met two days ago, but still! i do!) fb chat me! :) I was delighted that he can actually access the fb (He informed me that PTHM HR people has forbid them the fb access the other day) There goes my Monday blues~ He took it just like that and i get my smile back :D

Alright, now that i'm motivated, very enthusiastically i email my supervisor, Rizal and co-supervisor, Kak Sha telling them i'm free for any task or assignments at the moment. Tell them i'll just sit around and read on CMMI; so just call me up if they need me :) They said, its alright, i can fully used my free time doin anything i want, because there will be a tonnes of work later (Aha, daym!)

Wednesday, 14th April 2010.


Not having breakfast at the pantry as usual this week, as i'm so attached with tonnes of tasks!! Haih. But anyway, still have time to make some milo and nescafe once in an hour :) Just now i went to the pantry and there are a group of ladies executives from my department, having breakfast. While i'm making my drink, guess what they're having along with their breakfast?? A story on delivering babies!!!

Day 7

Tuesday, 13th April 2010.

Feeling quite nervous! The presentation slide should be done by today because tomorrow we need to present in front of our host supervisor, Rizal to get his feedback/comments on our presentation skills and contents before the real presentation day this coming Friday. I haven't got a chance to finish studying in depth on the Six Sigma, to be perfectly honest here. The reason why is that i have another tasks to be completed by tomorrow as well (Kak Sha suddenly bring the due date front ahead) But it's alright; i'l just need to manage my time well these day :)
And stay out from the "stress"! Hope my "mr. perfect distraction" drop me an email or two tp cheer me up (Well, i know he'll definitely text me during lunch hour tho)

Till then.. :> <3 <:

Day 6 (2nd Week)

Monday, 12th April 2010.

Preparing on "Understanding of Six Sigma" presentation. Outsourcing through some research on the internet, books and some journals. Host supervisor; Rizal give me a presentation material "HIGH IMPACT PRESENTATIONS, Participant Manual, by DALE CARNEGIE TRAINING" (which cost USD750 per person to attend the training). I salute iPerintis for their excellent effort in preparing their employees to be the best, well prepared, wide knowledge and exposure. I believe such investment is worth every penny iPerintis spent.

Day 5

Friday, 9th April 2010.

Yeay! I made it through the first week! (Very proud of myself!) Well, i had a some-kind-serious/formal-career conversation with Kak Sha, Kak Linda and Kak Fairuz during our double date lunch at PAVILION today. They been questioning me on why the admin of iPerintis assigned me at ITSM CIG department when my background is Electronic Communication Engin; i should have been assigned to assist iPerintis Network Engineer. Well, i told them that admin people explained to me that currently iPerintis is having an important project (CMMI DEV ML 2) that required interns at CIG department; hence they offered me to be based here. And yes, i don't really mind as i believe internship period is an opportunity for me to learn more. New knowledge on CMMI hopefully would help me to be a versatile fresh grad that knows such world recognition high level best practices in corporate world. I am truly believe that a versatile fresh grad with academically good result and wide exposury would sell off better in the market. It's soft skills and excellent attitude that they're looking after nowadays :)

1700: Went to the meeting room with a wide freaking faking smile. Hihi (my hummhumm surely knows which smile im talking about) They request me to do ice-break. And they asked me lots of questions.
