Dear diary,

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo............! I've gone missing for farrrr tooo long... haven't i...! Working at givaudan in the beverage application lab as 'junior food technologist'~ why did they even bother to add the food technologist when all i do is maintaining the lab and washing beakers and helping them with beverage preparation WITHOUT any idea what the objective of the project is ~ that is my real grip ! At the very least ... i expected them to tell me what i am doing and why am i doing this or that ~ but well~ after working there for 2 mths ~~~~~ i've more or less adjust to the ' i instruct , u follow' matra of theirs and have stopped trying to ask more abt projects... Anyway someone from the company informed me that the 3 food technologists in the beverage lab is nicknamed ' The 3 little pigs'.... which shld give u guys an idea of how they're like. :X

They're a closed community and thus i've also stopped trying to join into their clique~ which really makes my working life so very pathetic ~ but what to do ~ afterall , i am the greenhorn here... they obviously view me as someone who'll only be working there temporary and have thus no interest to socialise with me. Actually it's really only those pigs who're like that ~ the other technologists from the other dept are really nice ppl and i got a hunch i will be able to clique with them ... except that i dun get much time to talk to them ... unless i bump into them in the loo~ or see them in the lift~ or if they happen to walk into the beverage lab ...

The lab manager did asked me if i've any intention to continue after my 6 mths contract... truth be told... i'll rather she did not ask me that question... cause it will only probe me into yet another delimma since i've already decided not to continue . Job wise it's ok.... thou i'm doing really junior stuffs , i understand that it's the 'rule' to start out like that ~ but ppl wise~ hell~~~~ i can't communicate with them and it's making me dread going to work ! What's with their one word reply to my questions and ... haiz... depressing... making me seems as if i am trying too hard ! Now that the 2 ntu attachment students are gone ~ the lab has become an even hellish place.... should be looking for another job sometime in jan... let's see how it all goes...

Yesterday , i was taking stock all alone in the store room when i noticed that the lab manager kept on looking in . I was not wearing a smile ~ who will ~ when tasked with checking bottles after bottles of flavours all alone while the rest of the ppl are happily munching tibits and drinking coffee! So~~~ even though i know she was looking in ... i didn't bother to pretend like i was happy in there.... and kept a real straight face. Just when i was going to the loo , she stepped outta her office and talked to me~ told me something like she's thinking of letting me handle a shelf-life test project with one of the pig supervising me ~ GREAT! At least she knows that i am already bored .

Can't complain about the manager... lotssss to complain about the pigs.

Anyhow i took MC today ~ partly because i am gonna fall sick and i know IF i go to work today i WILL definately fall sick cause of the stuffy and dusty room i will be working in today ~ and partly because i need a break away from those pigs....

Looking forward to friday cause me and sweetie will be going to vivocity ! Not gonna shop there thou ~ just spending quality time with sweetie is enough. We've been so busy doing tiny gritty stuffs that took up our weekends...u know~ the 'collecting computer' , 'repairing mp3' , ' shopping at ikea with mum'... those kinda things ... hardly get to spend alone time.... so really looking forward to friday !


Will update about the KL trip and the joots christmas dinner this sat again !:D

Love
Jorine
