Same cold morning, nothing new on this particularly fast day. Time literally flew by as I continued my studying on Perl Scripting and nothing else happened besides lunch. I guess it was probably because my supervisor was on medical leave, so there's nothing much I could do besides going through the materials given earlier. However I did manage to finally get my badge to access my office door by requesting access from admin. The lady who assisted me was a real blessing, even after an episode of attempting to scan the badge again and having myself locked out of the office when it failed.
My dear friend (so far she's the only 1 I've got in the floor, lol) Miss CY took me to another building, PG-8 for a change of menu for lunch. It was an older section of the whole campus, but the people there are more diverse compared to the usually crowded PG-12. The people you'll see in PG-12 during lunch is comparative to college students, probably because the place is new and that most of the staff are in their mid/late 20s. But the point is, food was good and the queue at PG-8 wasn't that long. Though it was a waste as I missed out on the occasional special dish served by an invited chef. There is of course a price to pay for such an exquisite meal, but it's way cheaper compared to when you actually get it from the hotels where these chefs come from. Perhaps next time...
Once again during my random stretch-out walks to the pantry/washroom, I noticed the crowd in the club house. It tinkered in my mind about the chance I'll have to know the people and the place better (currently having high hopes for next Monday's team building session!).
I would like to quote on the insights of my close friend/uni mate/colleague has mentioned regarding the working culture in Intel which is very different from your everyday corporate company. Do refer to this link which dictates what I observe in Intel as well. I do not deny that perhaps the experience as an intern and a permanent staff may be different, but it should clear some rumors and doubts some (or most) would have about what working in Intel is like.

Dinner once again in Jelutong, same place, different food. Then a heavy rain came pouring in, with traffic getting heavy, reminding me of how Kuala Lumpur would be like. Am I missing home? I'm certain I miss my room and everything in it though :P
P/S: This post reminds the loss of my beloved 4GB Thumbdrive, if anyone happens to stumble upon one similar to the picture below in Penang, I would be grateful :)
Au revoir~ Reposer en paix...
