Wonderful start to my wkend!!

It's not everyday that I get to have a fulfilling day.  Today Fri, 2 Jun is one of those days.  Everyone, from office to home, knows how much I detest intern students (even my Director knows that I view intern students as pests in the office...except for a gem or two who comes along once every 5 yrs!). 

Since the last 2-3 mths, there's this Poly student attached to my boss (technically, under me also la!).  Started off well...he had initiative, very soft-spoken, very helpful.  Impression during the 1st wk was a relief.  Then the moment I started assigning tasks to him...I realised he's not what I'd thought of at earlier.  DISASTER!!  Lazy, slow, duh, choosy & don't take instructions too well (tell him to do A, he'll give you B!).  I don't like to instruct people like they're idiots, but with this boy, I just didn't have a choice.  With all the carelessness & slowness that I get from him...I decided (and made it clear to my boss) that I'm btr off doing my own work myself!!!  The worst thing abt him is just his appearance.  He's small sized & wears an oversized shirt!!  And his face is so small...but he keeps his hair like some Jap character (like putting a pot over his head!!).  And everytime he passes anything with reflection, he'll look at his reflection & adjust his hair or adjust the tucking of his shirt (which is as good as tucked out since it's oversized!!)  Gosh...I can't understand vain girls who looks at their reflection & this is a guy...how not to get irked?!?!  My teammate says he has a problem...he's always in his own world & has difficulty focusing.  Well, that's his problem, not mine.  Stay away from me!

I've been counting down to his last day 3rd Jun.  The day finally arrives (since 3 Jun is a Sat, technically today is his last day).  He gave me a farewell card (so unnecessary!!)...and I gave him...NOTHING of coz...I don't usually give anything to students on their last day, unless they are the gems I mentioned above.  I mean they were truly & asset & have contributed to the organisation & have been a great help which will be dearly missed when they're gone (there's only 1 NUS intern student whom I'm still in contact till today - Farah!  She wasn't in my team but yet, she was an asset...to me!).  Ok, I'm not so bad...I did wish him "all the best 4 ur future" ... coz I think he really needs it.  Unless he changes himself & his attitude, he'll nvr go far in life & I worry how he'll do in a real working environment when he starts working life.  Despite all that...the moment he left the office, I screamed "GOOD RIDDANCE!!"  Masyallah...only God knows how I've been waiting for 2nd Jun to arrive, despite knowing that I'll be aging with each passing day!

That aside, today was a very peaceful & productive day @ work as 80% of the staff strength were absent (clearing the polling day leave-in-lieu, MC or on course).  Thus, the 20% really enjoyed themselves!!!  There were no distractions  @ work, except for the phone which just doesn't stop ringing!!  I completed a very impt work.  Not denying I (& few others) got pissed with 1 of  my colleague who's supposed to be coordinating an implementation of a new data-entry system, but is not doing the job properly & is causing us great inconvenience & time wastage having to do something repeatedly!!  My colleagues who were equally pissed, esp Ms K, tried hard to cool me down...I just stormed out of the office, went to my car & took my Neal 'n' Nikki/Bunty Aur Babli audio CD from the car CD-player.  I had Fanaa songs playing in my PC, which is pretty slow & sentimental...thus as part of my anger management, since I'm too broke for retail therapy, I decided to treat my anger with music therapy!!  Having fast peppy songs will perk up my mood.  It worked.  I cooled down, sent out a nasty email in retaliation to the issue & lived the rest of my day happily.  By after lunch most of us were so bored & sleepy, but at least we had some freedom to relax, put our heads down to rest & not worry abt getting caught as we had no govt!

Insyallah going to Tekka tomorrow morning with mom.  Just felt like shopping for a new kurti that will match my new Indian-ny white skirt.  Got the skirt @ Tamp interchange for $16 but realised my existing kurti is quite long & thus doesn't suit the skirt.  So let's see...hope to come back with a kurti at least, hopefully mom will pay for it (take it as my advance b'day present...hehe).

Did I tell u I so love the song Hips Don't Lie by Shakira!?!? Ok...it's so unlike me to rave abt anything non-hindi...but yeah...hindi or no hindi...I'm a "love @ 1st sight/hearing" kinda person!  Loved that song @ 1st hearing.  I can do a single post on all the things I do when I fall in love with something @ 1st hearing or sight!

Sony (Ch 91 of Starhub Cable) is showing Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham tomorrow nite & Kal Ho Naa Ho on Sun nite (for the dunno how many times!)!  For sure will look 4ward to Sun nite to catch 1 of my all time fave SRK movies!  I love Kal Ho Naa Ho...simply coz SRK dies & the 2nd hero (for the 1st time in Bollywood) gets to end up with the heroine!!  I love it more coz the lucky 2nd hero is my darling Saif Ali Khan!  Ok ok...actually I like SRK in that movie esp the part he took Saif's diary & start blabbering "...I love you, I love you very very much Naina..." ... hehe...I like to say it along wif him whenever that part comes.  I kinda like the dialogues of Kal Ho Naa Ho that I memorise 80% of it (the other 20% are the parts that I don't like & usually will fast-fwd, that's y)!!  Fave song: Kal Ho Naa Ho.

Oh...in advance, Star Plus (Ch 41) will be showing Bluffmaster (Abhishek & Priyanka) on 18 Jun.  Woohooo...fairly new movie to watch on TV...cool!!  Looking 4ward to 18 Jun.  But meanwhile, I've a task to complete hopefully this wkend...to read & complete The Da Vinci Code.  Miss "K" is challenging me saying I'm too densed to digest the book or the movie...so I perservere to prove her wrong!
