i am supposed to be doing my research now, but have stopped for awhile to blog.
brief update on work...

my working hours are mon-fri, 8.30am to 5pm.
so yes, im only free in the evenings although im pretty stoned by then so not advisable to meet me till the weekend.

the plus side that im just a 5min bus ride away from town. not that it really matters, im already sick and tired of town and dont like the rush hour crowd.

10000000 pple have been asking me what my job involves so i shall repeat it again (with some additional info): research, lit reviews, data analysis, school visits, meetings.

the branch that im working with is the special education branch, we deal with all the spore schs for kids with disabilities.

the moe im located at is the one at grange road.

thats abt it in a nutshell.

currently have 2 assignments.. i have to research and do 2 lit reviews.. i have 20+ articles to read through, and thats just the articles.. i havent even touched any bks yet.. why does this feel like im doing my thesis all over again? *sigh*

i also need to revise my spss.

moe has provided me with a laptop, but its highly unlikely you'll see me on msn cos im not sure if they're monitoring what we're doing online, so better not take the risk right? i tried to access facebook using the library computers and it worked though lol. and then by the time i get home i use just abt what little energy i have left to shower, check my mail, surf a few sites & tts it. after that i collapse and sleep till the next morning. so sorry if ill be MIA-ing for the next 6 months. haha.

aside from myself there is another intern who started work at the same time. same age, and shes from nus majoring in psych. i would say we get along well :) but she's only gonna be here for a month and after that ill be all alone :( hopefully by then ill be more familiar with the whole moe system. right now still quite lost. thankfully most of the staff are nice, even my supervisors are so friendly and bother to chit-chat with us iterns :)

on the first day of work, i was fortunate enough to attend a branch meeting and it was such an eye-opener although i just sat there quietly in the corner and listened.

ok thats enough abt work.

yesterday was T7 class gathering. had prata for dinner and ice cream for dessert. some of them went pubbing after tt but i was too tired to join. was fun though, the 3hrs spent catching up with old classmates. so many pple working now.. its amazing to see all the different directions in life we've taken.. i think everyone has matured.. its only a matter of time before the wedding invitations start pouring in. hahahaha.

enough of blogging, back to researching ... its been awhile since i had so much to write about!!
