Even though I only got to know you for two weeks, I'm really gonna miss you baby. The moment I set my eyes and hands on you, I knew you were meant to be mine. In just that short span of time, I managed to unlock my way into you, even establishing intimate connections as though there was a wire linking you to my heart. And we always saw i to eye. It was as if we were peas in a pod, destined to be together. We would have been able to achieve so much more, if only we had more time. If only. You were truly the music of my life. You were always fully charged, driving away the monotony in my life. And should you ever appear down on energy, all that was needed was a night in my room and you would be raring to go again. You never complained when I pushed your buttons, instead responding with sounds of joy. You seemed to have no desires, but you alone fulfilled all of mine. I will never forget your touch, your melodic voice, the quality time we spent together. How you would sit comfortably in my lap in lessons, and even as I lay on the bed. How I would hold you oh-so-gently as I strode down the street, catching the gaze of everyone that I passed. How you always seemed to remember everything I said and never failed to entertain me. How I would slide effortlessly on you and you would obey my every command... You have served me well, my iPod touch. It's time to move on. And so that wraps up my Apple attachment after two weeks. Our final product: A proposal for the implementation of a mobile school portal for Hwachong, right down to the purpose, design and timeline. As for the next phase of actually constructing and implementing it, it's up to us whether we'd like to see the project through, perhaps after the EOY exams and during the holidays. So, who knows? It isn't quite over yet. =P Aside from the the loan of my dear iPod touch (which is cool but not all that important, I was just sensationalising it for comic relief xD), I guess some of the benefits I've gained from this entire industrial attachment programme are: having the chance to try my hands at project management and realising it's not as simple as planning for school events, considering out in the corporate world there's demanding "customers" to satisfy and no one to correct you if you make mistakes; having a glimpse into working life and what goes on in the workplace; and not to mention being able to have long chats with our friendly mentor Mr. Khoo and learning much from his personal experiences and values he shared with us. Would definitely encourage juniors to sign up for such attachment programmes in future. ;) Happy holidays ahead! |
