update from internship

didn't realize that working (even as just an intern) can be so tiring actually
well, long hours straight in the office for 2 days with no specifically assigned task can be boring
except for reading journal on the 1st and 'find-your-own-thing-to-do/read-up' on the 2nd
this is enough to get one mentally tired

anyway, glad it wasn't exactly the same for 3rd day
but, i guess one would surely get physically tired instead when:
on the previous day,
- just slept only for 3 or 4 hours
- fried donuts whole day (about 200 of them)
- walked up & down 108 steps of the staircase and walked some more
what more, all on a rainy day & being nervous that exam results would be released

supposed to have prepared the dough for making roti canai for the next day
but the fella's not around to teach us
anyway, the day wasn't that bad afterall
learnt how noodles are made

just a few days & mind's filled with:
wheat, flour, bran, wholemeal, starch, gluten, etc...
tired..

but at least we are involved, could see & get hands on with the production of food products right from the basic raw ingredients
which i think is rather interesting because it's food rather than non-edible items
it's also exciting to be able to taste & try out the end product from the efforts being put in

for now,
there are still a few different things that hopefully the company staff could teach us
so then it wouldn't be that boring later

imagine keep looking at the clock ticking
having the thought of counting how much time left before off-work time
and counting the number of public holidays in the month
(*loving the idea that starting from next week,
there would be public holidays on friday for 4 weeks consecutively...wohohohohoho)
just so that we don't need to turn in for work & can rest, just do our own things

experiencing this kinda working life actually makes me appreciate weekends
and i now know why people rejoice & thank-god-when-it's-friday
6pm has become the time that i look forward to the most on weekdays
because it's time to go home from work..hehe

really hope there won't be many boring days throughout this internship period
and this would be a good opportunity to benefit from a practical learning that would be useful in the future
