僕の過去数日の日記
Some interesting things happened while I was manning the booth. Opposite our booth was (my guess) a LTB project booth, which was promoting safe sex and healthy lifestyle. And on the Wednesday, they had this little game which required 3 couples. As SMU students are notoriously busy and nonchalant to things that do not concern their grades, the people manning the booth were facing difficulties in attracting 3 couples to participate in their game.
And they were so desperate that they came up to my booth and pleaded me to join their game. But you know I'm the most eligible bachelor in SESS, and I do not have a gal frenz. But those guys were so desperate that they said anyone will do. Even a guy will do.
So I pulled Qihan (who was innocently folding origami hearts at my booth) and forced him to be my gay partner. Haha, look at his forced bitter smile...
And our opponent was another pair of feigned couple from the Gym Staff:
So the game mainly revolved around 2 quizzes and some exercises. It was quite fun after all. And I was making fun of the gym staff team all the time, that if they didn't win the game, they would put shame on all the Gym Staff people.
At the end of the day, the Gym Staff team did emerge champion and win themselves the latest Creative mp3 player (cost around $249). The gay team (which was my team) was the first runner-up, and we won a Creative live cam (cost around $160). Haha, real cool. The live cam will come in handy when I'm in Japan.
Okie. it's getting late, I will talk about my gathering with my secondary school friends some other day. Yawn...

Thorの天使たち
Here are some photos of my wonderful project mates at Credit Suisse. We were supposed to do a review of our experience in Credit Suisse with the Head of IB Operations, HR managers and Directors at the end of our internship. I guess my team did a good job; my manager loved our presentation, and commented we looked prepared and confident. I guess all these would not have been possible without the 3 angels: Pei Shan, Ningxia and Nabilah. Thanks gals!
I shall let the pictures do the talking again:)First slide of our ppt presentation. Crossed out the Credit Suisse logo with a red line, cos it's part of the CS policy that we could not take the logo outside of the company. Another photo of us at our table:) Eveyone looks so professional!

Credit Suisseの皆さん、ご親切を心から感謝します。
My workplace at a glance
Outgoing: Special thanks to the ever brilliant Gokul and perpetually laughing Lijuan around for filling my first 3 weeks with so much laughter. Thanks Mr. Eugene for stripping my name, and affectionally labeling me as the all-encompassing 'Intern'. And of course, thanks to Dexter who great-heartedly imparted me with all the deceiving and somewhat despicable tactics to get the innocent young girls. Really, the memories of us mocking each other would be inked indelibly in my mind.
Gokul, Mr. Brilliant aka Joker

I have spent the most time in Incoming during the period of my internship, and it was there that I met many beautiful people who have embraced and treated me like one of their kind. Thanks Emilia, for the 3 weeks when you nanny-sit me and selflessly taught me all about Incoming; your never-waning patience and meek nature really touched me. Lester, one of the most diligent and responsible person I have ever met, also gave me unique insights into the banking industry and government sectors, and guided me whenever I tumbled onto problems. And the rest of the Incoming team, who have sung KTV with me and treated me to a fabulous Japanese meal! Arigatou!
Emilia. Meek and patient - I was her apprentice for 3 weeks:) Duncan, my Incoming Boss
And the settlement team, which I did not have the fortune to work with, is also filled with a bunch of great people. Chiaming for giving me tips on facial products and Angnes for sharing me with her knowledge on electronic gadgets.
Angnes, super funnie gal who knows damn a lot about camera, hp and all the electronic gadgets. And the lady on the right is Claire, boss for the Settlement team.Chiaming, who likes to quarrel with pple, but is in fact an extremely helpful guy. And Yanlin, the gal who likes to quarrel with Chiaming (actually not just her lah, most pple quarrel with Chiaming)
And there are so many other people in DSG whom I would like to thank, but I'm just simply too sleepy and tired to carry on. So please do not feel offended if I didn't mention your name. I'm sure you have helped me in some ways or another, and I am, or at least was, very grateful for your assistance.
And how can I forget about other interns who have survived the 9 weeks of internship with me. I will post the photos of my project mates later. These are wonderful SMU pple whom I have worked with for the past week to churn out another award-winning presentation!
Really, thank you so much! I couldn't believe how fast time has passed, and almost in a blink of a second, I have ended my virgin internship. I'm sure it will be another blink of a second before I find myself on Thai Airways, embarking on my 5 months trip to Japan.
And just when I was going to bid my last goodbye to all these great pple in DSG, I suddenly realized I was surrounded by all of them. I was really touched when Diana handed me the departure gift. I almost couldn't believe my eyes. Angnes got me a travel adapter, which I have been telling them I would be buying this but couldn't fork out the time to do so. And then when Diana asked me to open another gift, it was 5 1000 Japanese yen packed in a Credit Suisse hongbao! My first Hongbao of the year! I was so touched that finally I did not bear to leave Credit Suisse. Really, Credit Suisse is such a nice place, with so many nice pple, and a nice work culture.
Goodbye card filled with everyone's blessings and good wishes.My dream adaptor. Thanks Angnes for being so thoughtful. This will be so useful when I go over to Japan! My first Hongbao of the year! With the exclusive Credit Suisse Hongbao packet:)
I feel so blessed now. This is what life should be all about. Simply amazing.

Theoの誕生日会!
YL looked real good on this photo. I wonder who's the photographer? hmm..
Mini bday celebration for Harvey, who was so moved that he could not utter a word. Oh, remind me to upload the video where Dex sang happy bday in his soprano-like voice.

自己紹介:僕の家族員です。
This is my extremely untidy house, which is hidden in a god-forsaken corner of Singapore.
Haha, that's all for my intro to my family members. My mum refused to appear on my blog, and I refused to feature my two hideous rabbits (黑老大 and 白痴). Or maybe next time...
