I owned an assignment to my mentor from the last internship. I had no choice but to "moonlight" to complete the work. At the same time, I must learn to be diplomatic this time, so I did not dare to tell anyone from my current department. I secretly finished up the paper and finally finished up the paper on Wednesday.
I had a mentor attached to me for two weeks. Basically, she will teach me the various products and how to process their application whenever she has some time to spare. After the brief lesson, she will give me some new assignment to try out. Most of the time, I can knock off very early. However, I am still trying to get used to that because I hate being the first to go home when my whole department is still around.
Anyway, I was glad I joined my division (there are currently 3 divisions in my department, with the 4th coming up soon) for a dinner event. We went to this Japanese restaurant for dinner. I would say the dinner was an informative session for me. I discovered who are their common targets within the division and within the department. In addition, I also get to know some information on my various Japanese bosses. I won't try scolding them in Mandarin because a few of them can understand and speak the language. After dinner, we went to St James. Most of the locals sneaked home. As the lowest status ranking officer, I went with them and only reached home close to 1 a.m. The next morning I nearly overslept again.
Yesterday I went out with some university friends after work to Geylang for some steamboat. Along the way, we saw many "ugly sight of life". Or put it in a nicer way - "the real side of life in Singapore". We see people peddling drugs, selling smuggled cigarettes, and feel many eyes of the guys on us. We decided to go for KTV session after dinner, but the place was fully booked. We decided to head down to Loof for some drinks.
