Another two more days and I will be out of ICES for good.

That sounded like I am too eager to leave this place which is true and false at the same time. I can't wait to end my internship, after a long two months worth of making trips to Jurong Island. I can't complain, because compared to Tampines, Clementi is way too near already. But being able to wake up at my own time without having to think about making it in time for the shuttle bus is simply a luxury right now. And therefore as I look three days into the future, I can't help but wish it will come tomorrow.

Then again compared to internships at other firms, working at ICES is almost heavenly. Not counting canteen monopoly, everything here is almost better. We do not compete with employees from other firms during lunch peak hours for seats, because the canteen is almost enough for all of us. We do not need to squeeze with other commuters during peak hours all the way to work either, because there are shuttle buses with more than one timing to bring us right to ICES doorsteps. And as an intern, I work from the comfort of an air-con room with relatively comfortable chairs, so compared to other interns, I am considered VERY good life. Of course the price to pay for comfort is the mundane nature of my work - all computers, little lab.

But then, I get paid as much as everybody else, so essentially I'm getting more than I'm working for.

In another two more days and I will resume unemployed. Never have I thought I'd be so glad that I'm out of a job hahaha!
