18th Week - Thursday (080508) I'm back!

Finally got energy to do some blogging. Some temperature update first. The temperature nowadays is around 25 degrees in the afternoon and 15 degrees at night. Cool...

The past 3 days has been quite rush in the office. I just realised on Monday night that I have to submit my attachment formal report by the third week of this month and I have not started anything yet! Hence for the past 3 days, I've been rushing to recall and jot down all my activities. Haha... Think this report will keep me busy for May liao...

And yesterday, I was informed of the new batch of interns. The interview period for them will start soon and I looked through their resumes... Hmm... Quite impressive sia... Haha...

Alright, will now start my blog for the kansai trip for last week... =)
