wah i have the best colleagues ever. it's only been like what, 2 months with the team but of course 5 months altogether in the company, and it almost seems as though everyone treats me like a full timer (a kid who's a full timer that is), with gifts and dinners and all since this wk was supposedly my last working wk (going back a few times next wk cos have to finish up the KrisFlyer Competitive Review for them). i reckon i'm the luckiest intern ever (minus the pay) so seeing how much fun i have working (it doesnt even feel like work, sometimes it feels alot like school w them suaning me and all abt how im making insinuations that there's an age gap blah (hur whats new), playing lame games like who's the best/worst looking in the agency (lol damn mean) and shoot shag marry (they call it something else but i shant say it here cos it sounds wrong), I DONT'T WANT TO LEAVE, and I CAN'T BEAR TO QUIT! but of course i know its just a temp job in the end like any other and i have to go back to school and all good things have to come to an end............

hmm but what struck me was the sense of attachment i got from just 5 months of working here. i mean, i cant imagine being a full timer and having to leave one company for another after 2-3 years of working there (especially in the advertising industry where the turnover rate is super high)? I guess everyone like familiarity, so much so that we are afraid to step outside our comfort zones, but sometimes, perhaps that's the only way to move forward and not remain stagnant at where we are. hmmmm i think i learnt quite alot.
