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.
