Natsu Matsuri: Much-awaited Natsu Matsuri arrived... After having watched 7 years of anime that showed this kinda thing and got me all wanting to go, 6 years of knowing about it but never getting the chance to attend, and another 8 months after receiving a yukata.
I thought that this post would be long at first, but the first time I wrote it, it only consisted of two sentences -_-" If you'd like more details about how it was like, you might probably wanna click my friend "Skye"'s link on the left hand side, cause you'll probably be disappointed in my post. ^^;;
Hmm. Well... I really can't think of anything... So, I guess to sum up the entire trip: I liked the dancing.
Heh.
Told you you'd be disappointed.
Others: K I actually have another outing that I had that I wanted to blog too..? But that'll have to wait... Till I have the time to blog again.

ITP ramble
Warning: Ramble of last day
Last day of ITP: YES today was the LAST day of our internship at KPMG, and gosh, I was so darn busy the whole of today... (Happily so, though, thankfully...) Things looked up after lunch when my laptop finally acted normally, and was chiong-ing stuff up till the very end before we shut the laptops down and went for clearance.
Our team leads treated us all to canadian pizza during lunch, and by golly, it was a lot. Stuffed myself with the pizza slices, and then the chocolate cake that we bought for the department. @_@ After clearance was basically the time for photo-taking, present-giving, photo-taking, de-briefing, cake eating, and well, photo-taking. ^^;
The excitement that coursed through me from when clearance started was pure ecstasy. As one of my friends said, it felt like we had just graduated. As each item was returned to the company, I felt like something was lifted off of me. By the time we were all done and back at the office, I could hardly stop myself from grinning like an idiot. =^^=
Went out: All of us went out after everything (Like yes EVERYBODY =D) and boy was it AWESOME!! ^^ All of us went high after a while and major trigger-happiness ensued. Loads and loads of photos were taken, with extremely lame poses at different places- We acted like there were 2 gangs and started taking photos and what-nots that showed so, and of course, took lame silly-face photos- ^^;;
Swensons: Dinner was at Swensons, and gosh I was just so dead full by the end of it- >_< Shared this tomato garlic bread soup thing, and ordered a plate of baked rice. Chatted a lot, threw a cricket away, and well, I think there was some photo-taking. Was nice =)
Arcade: Okayyy, we couldn't decide what to do so we just walked around, finally stepping into the arcade for one round of Daytona ^^;; I was the only girl in the race, and WAH I GOT 4th OUT OF 7 PEOPLE!! =D Was oh-so-happy ^^ Twas the first time I didn't end up last or second last. Heh.
Overall: Bad thing was that we dragged real long, and I actually only reached home at like what, not that much earlier than 12am. Doh. Twas real tired out. Feet hurt and all, but just the memories of the day kept me grinning to myself- ;)
Quite sad that we probably won't be able to gather like that ever again... But yea, it was a really REALLY good time that we had together- All the OT-ing together, nonsense-talking, emo-ing, cursing of the laptops, snacking etc.. Twas hard work and relatively stressful at times, but the company was good. Real good. ^^
Will miss you guys after this... For anyone in the group that is reading this... A big THANK YOU for everything these few months =) Enjoyed myself loads.
Photos: Please click here to refer to azlan's blog post for the photos should you be interested ^^ More photos were taken on someone else's camera but I don't think there's a link for them so... >_<

Recollection
Outings: Our department had this POM (Pub-of-the-month) thing, starting with an MoS gathering. Food and drinks were on the company's bill, and it was basically a time a month where everyone could mingle and chill.
It was tempting to go for the pub ones after the MoS outing... Since it was a company thing (and therefore felt safer/more comfortable) and also since none of the POM outings lasted till very late... Of course, you could stay till late if you wanted to, but you could leave anytime, with each POM starting at like 6+ 7pm. BUT I didn't go, of course ^^;; It was a good time to try and catch up with my work so I suppose it was a relatively good thing.
Missed the monthly mingling with them, but I guess stories from my friends brought me in to their fun and joy too. ^^
Only sad thing was that I missed the chance to mix with the full time staff outside of work (like my team leads, the full-time developers and our development/overall leads).
Biscuits: Oh, yes, and how could I forget..? The biscuits that made their appearance not long after we joined for our internship. That started the daily biscuit-snacking routine that my friend and I adopted. ^^;; Heh. As a result, the entire department started to notice my ever-present appetite. Ah well. Heh.
Okay, done: Okay, I think I've done enough of rambling... I still need to do some work and my brain ain't working no more... Sleep beckons.
