First day, 12th January

Aahhhh....first day of internship. Dressed up formally and neatly. Ready to face my bosses, supervisors, and colleagues.

It turned out that I dun have to be that formal. So...it was not shameful, it's just inappropriate and not environmentally-cozy.

The path to my work area was shown by the pretty HR =p. -i thought she were an old lady-

Arrived at my area! Met my supervisors and colleagues. I was given my own corner and my own (borrowed) Macbook Pro and the cute sleek mighty mouse!!!! Oh, how I would thank God for this since I really long for that older ver. of macbook pro and I got it like free (!) though it was just until my IA ends. I could barely hold my grin when I got the set...haha.

My supervisor is a Malaysian, my colleagues are mostly either singaporean or chinese. One guy is japanese...middle-aged. My lao ban is indian...middle-aged too and quite nice. My big big lao ban, Peter...havent met him yet. Couldn't get so friendly with the singlish-chinese speaking people - which unfortunately make up the most of the team. Thus so far...it is not so fun.

Intro-ed to mac interface, getting used to it. Then came ruby on rails, mysql, apache, and all those database scripting stuffs. Total blur seriously. I dunno what to do when I was told to set up my own apache web server. What I thought must be downloaded and installed from somekind of package turned out to be command-prompt based program. Everything is launched and initiated from Mac's command prompt which I recently knew as Terminal.

Finally since I everything also blur, most of the apps were installed by my supervisor. It made me feel really ashamed since I was like spoonfed - which is a bad thing in working class.

Day ended! Soooo tired. Explored one more way home with my colleague which is an NUS dude. It turned out to be longer though...
