Yet another rant but I really can't stand that YISS angmoh girl.
It was just her luck that she arrived when I had just loaded my clothes into 2 washing machines and the others were occupied. And then I used 2 dryers for 2 rounds each.
She asked me why I couldn't put all my clothes into 1 dryer since some of them would have been dried from the 1st round. This was after the fact that I had already told her that I haven't done my laundry for more than 3 weeks. Do you know how much clothes that I haven't washed in 3 weeks add up to?! I freakingly need more than 1 washing machine and 1 dryer because I have to split the HUGE pile of clothes into two?!
And as a YISS student, she doesn't have to leave her room by 7.30am every weekday morning for work and only come back after 7pm or so. My brother is only here for a month or so too so I have been going out and spending time with him right after work and during the weekend. So much so that I don't really rest after my internship everyday or during the weekend. I'm not complaining, I'm so happy that my brother is here and I treasure every single minute with him and so, I've been putting off washing my clothes every single day until the internal alarm in me to wash my clothes has been ringing non-stop inside my head for the last few days. So today, I left work on the dot at 6pm to rush back just to wash my clothes. I know YISS classes end by 6pm and she didn't have to take a bus back to the dorm just to wash her clothes.
And if you want others to be nice to you, be nice to them first. Don't speak to me in that voice/tone of yours. I've been here for almost a year, I know how the washing machines work and I know how to do my laundry with those washing machines and dryers. And during the past 1 year or so, my clothes were never dried from just 1 round in the dryer.
Throughout the 2 years I've spent here, I've changed a lot. For the worse actually. It's not just the Koreans, it's just people I've encountered here, both Koreans and foreigners. I guess my stubborn nature and character is to blame too but lately, a lot of people have been pissing me off. Not having a sense of personal space, being inconsiderate, being a hypocrite/fake, etc. I've had enough. I'm so glad that I don't have to see most of my classmates for this month and next month. I really need a break from them. Ok, I exaggerated, I don't want to meet a few people, not most of my classmates. 1 person has no 눈치 at all and then there are the cheaters.
I would like to think that I'm a nice person by nature. Until I'm provoked. And you don't mess with me. I'm sorry but I don't have the grace to forgive and forget easily. I treat you nicely and I expect you to treat me nicely too. But sadly, the world doesn't work this way.
Actually, all I really want from people is consistency. And I believe that I always try to be consistent in terms of my behavior too. If I say I don't like it and I'm against it, I don't go with the tide you know...suck up to some others and the likes? If I don't like you, I probably won't like you for the rest of my life until we can reconcile or one of us gives in and apologises first. But that's me, consistent till the very end. I don't like...talk to you just to get a favour and then give you the cold shoulder again? Or say hi to you in front of a selected group of people and then ignore you when it's just the 2 of us? I'd rather you just ignore or not talk to me at all than to keep up with the pretense and fakeness in front of a selected group of audience. Please be more consistent in terms of your behavior :)

Life's good
My brother has been here for more than a week.
It's been so surreal with him around!
I've been alone for so many months and now he's here!
We had an epic Jeju trip and I need to blog and share about the trip. It was my 4th time there but this was the most luxurious trip^^ I feel bad about spending so much but it was a much needed getaway. I was so drained during the semester!
Today was the 2nd day of my dream internship. I can't believe my luck and how blessed I am to be able to enter this department and be given a project that I'm so passionate about. I mean which internship allows you to surf the net and read makeup blogs to find out about the star products in the industry during working hours? And throughout the day, I hear colleagues and staff from other departments in my office talking about Innisfree, Sulwhasoo, Etude House, Hera, Laneige, etc. So so so dream-like. I even met the VP of the company in the lift today and he says my name is beautiful^^
I've heard so much about working in a Korean company that I was so scared yesterday before the start of my internship. But my colleagues are so nice, especially my 2 bosses who are so nice and kind to me and my colleagues who bring me down to the staff cafeteria for lunch everyday and chase me to go home at 6pm sharp and told me that I don't need to use 눈치 here. The staff cafeteria is like a food court in a shopping mall with very delicious food and the best part? It's free for staff^^ In the office, I have a range of O'Sulloc tea bags to choose from too. And yesterday, I had my first 회식. It was a senior associate's farewell dinner cum my welcome dinner. To discourage employees from staying out too late during 회식 and from going for many rounds (2차, 3차, 등), the company's credit card can only be used till 9pm. And today, a colleague messaged me on our company chat messenger to tell me that there's 30% discount for staff in the Aritaum shop in the basement.
This internship is kinda like my 1st internship with the Call Centre in UOB with wonderful and supportive bosses and colleagues and autonomy to determine the direction of my own project.
