on the first day of internship...

today...i woke up at 5:45am...(okay i pressed the snooze button and woke up at 6am...)
dressed up in my new 'intern' clothes, heard a horn...didn't care....heard my mom calling, "hey!she here edi la!"...rushed downstairs with my new BALALACA peep toe, black metallic shoes with a golden buckle in front (which hurt on only my right leg, made me feel that my right leg was bigger than my left) and entered audrey's car...we talked and talked and went on the federal highway where we talked and talked some more...we talked so much until audrey got distracted and didn't realize that the car in front of her had breaked until i said (or maybe shouted *gasp*) "break..break...break now..i mean...break NOW!"..then we turned up to the kononnya 'penang' bridge (my mom calls it that) or a.k.a the motorolla bridge and picked denise up while a shaggy looking shaneil with boxer shorts and a t-shirt said bye to her...then we drove again and reached the oh-so-famously-expensive phileo damansara building and cursed at the parking architecture and bad spelling of malaysians (the parking goes block A, B, C, E,F, G, D....*urgh*) and reached our new workplace at 7:30A.M.

we met up with swee wei and went into office at 8.30A.M. where we waited to be allocated to our seats...we sat at our designated desks and the IT person, joey, played with our computers and put our names and passwords in that really made me feel like an employee there! joey also thought us how to use the printer,fax,scan and photostat stuff...

then we waited and waited, fondling with the computer till 10.50A.M where we were called into the conference/board room to have a briefing...we were told about cleanliness, telephone calls, door bell ringing and our job as interns by Mangales...a weird part of the conversation was...

Mangales: here, take these and sign them...
Denise: *pauses*, signs paper, then says: umm...is there a particular format for writing....
(at this exact moment, i thought, "good question!she's gonna ask about format for press release or proposals!")
Denise:for writing the DATE?
kerry(and i think everyone else in the room): *sweat* *sighs* *looks weirdly at denise's question* *confused*

there, we also met with the MD, Felix who's a hot swiss guy with a french/german accent (he has blue eyes and blonde hair)..then, Mangales introduced us to everyone in the building...then manpreet emailed us to read about the clients....and we rread and read till lunch time....then we went for lunch in little chino....then we went back to the office, then i read and read everything in the whole folder...then i looked at my facebook, then i looked at my blog...then i wrote in my blog...then i am still writing in my blog....wonder what i'll do next?
