Today was a memorable day for me... :)
First, I woke up from a sweet dreams! Haha! I always dreamt of the person I think about before falling asleep.. Sadly, I couldn't recall whats the dream was about!
Secondly, I had a long chat with my mentor, Pee Koy (Pee means sister in Thai!) today while doing work together. The tasks for this morning was rather simple and relax so when we were sitting together doing work, she started to ask me questions about my future plan, studies, family etc.
She keep telling me don't stress after I told her study in Singapore is very very competitive and stressful. She said if you feel stress don't jump down just come Thailand and study! Hahaha! And from what she told me, admission to Thailand universities isn't based on high school results but universities entrance examination. Hmm, like a stress only?! If you screwed up the entrance exam means cannot go uni?! After that we chat a lot on education stuffs.. Btw, she was so amazed that we all can speak english and chinese together. LOL. I love talking and chatting with her.. She is REAL friendly but when it comes to work, she became a totally different person! HAHA! In fact, all people in Thai are like that.. I realized it during my first week here!! Kinda scary but its their culture I guess.. Just get used to it will do!! :)
Thirdly, our lab department has this new year lunch party so I was asked to join them too!! Yea, I know New Year was 18 days ago.. But they only have the celebration now. LOL. Overall, the food was good especially the dessert!!!! THE SUPER CHOCOLATY BLACK CHOCOLATE CAKE!!! 90% of the cake are dark chocolate!!! SUPER YUMMMMMYYY!! They bought it from a 5 stars hotel... NO WONDER.... Ahhh I will never forget that taste... HAHA! *PMS*
Fourthly!! Due to the long lunch party in the afternoon, I wasn't able to finish my jobs by 5pm.. So I already prepared myself to work OT, although its a friday but I don't really mind because sometimes I really enjoy working alone quietly in the lab.. Peaceful! Haha!
But then at about 430pm, Pee Koy came over and asked me how much I left and insisted to help me to do half of it.. I said don't need as this is my job! But guess what she said?
"We all end work and go home at 5pm! So why do you want to OT? U must leave at 5pm with us also!" *followed by a bright smile*
I was totally touched by her words. I don't know how to describe it but I feel like.. They see me as part of their 'family' and don't want to leave me alone.. As compared to SOMEONE who asked me why do I always end work on time, Pee Koy is definitely more human! LOL.
OK. Its not the end yet! After like 20 mins, another co-worker, Pee Ploy asked is there anything she can help too? Then in the end she helped me to set up french press which I usually spend about 30 mins setting it.
When I was almost done with my jobs, another co-workers, Pee Bim came and helped me to pack my things and clean up...
A 'THANK YOU' WASN'T ENOUGH TO TELL THEM HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE THEIR HELP AND KINDNESS!
It was the first time I received so much help from them. LOL. So for a moment, I think they just want me to leave so that they can lock the room and leave on time. Hahaha.. Ok, whatever. They DID helped me and they are all nice people!!! Always share good food with me, talked to me and all. I feel so welcomed in the lab. Haha!
Time flies! It is my 7th week here!! Although they are passing more and more work for me to do, I am getting more and more stressful but at least I am learning. Thats the point rightttt!! :D
Let's hope for the best for the remaining 5 weeks!! All the best to me! Keke.
