Third week into internship!
Got to the know the place better now, such as where the pantry is. =P Everyone are still super nice to me though my manager for the department is starting to wish that i can work more like a full time staff. My learning at the operations department is nearly done, and with the severe manpower shortage, they just couldn't stop asking whether i would like to join their department as a full time staff after my intern ends. The place is not bad, but as a full time job, i wonder if i'll be earning or just paying the unfortunately incurred store rent. (my colleague worked for 2 years there and never managed to get a full month's pay as a result of store rents) Plus, the crazy OTs of full timers every single day? No, actually i don't think it's such a good place afterall.
The weeks are passing faster than i've thought. Throughout the week when i'm bored in the office i will suddenly think of the things to blog and rant about. But it's Sunday, and i just can't remember much of what i wanted to say today

It's Sunday! 2nd week into my internship and i'm just hoping i'll be able to try out more things. As i got use to the environment, and getting over the initial amazement at working directly in an office situated in a warehouse, some stuff just starts to surface. Like this is a period where i have to learn, have to get it, and churn out stuff for my report. I can't help but remember i have 22 credit units at stake here and I either will make it, or just flunk 6 modules worth. With the time i situate at this company gets longer, people at the company will expect gradual improvement. I feel that the stress seem to be building up the more i am adapted to the place. With the more things i learn, come the more things i have to do each day. There seem to be an arising confusion of whether i am an intern or a paid worker. Very fortunately, though with the increasingly work load, the company understands that i am an intern, and my whole objective is to go and learn. Very grateful that my colleagues have been inviting me to go and learn at different departments, and they totally don't expect me to work over time. (they take back whatever work i've left and finish it up themselves) Currently, i am trying to keep all those i've learnt in my head and continue to be able to try out more.

♥ 1st Week of Internship
A week into my internship, and i am really thankful i got into a company where the people there are so super nice and keep giving me food to eat! A self proclaim mad office who laughs over their own misfortune of the never ending work and awful documents. Since day 1 have eaten from cake to daily snacks and an enormous packet of bee hoon(5 toppings) for breakfast on Saturday marking the end of my first week there. All of them works over time though they say every single day they are going home on time, i'm so not surprise. But what makes it great being there is that they try not to give me work close to my end work time, and completes it themselves although orders from those customers who can't tell the time always comes in at the last minute, or even well after working hours. Maybe it's just the people who work so well together that they don't mind practically living in the office. I think another plus working there is that I feel so young! haha =D At 19, i'm the youngest ever. But my managers are all in their 20s. I think they must be the youngest managers ever. Really fortunate to have no great mishaps having my intern there, as my np supervisor seems constantly asleep. Never bothered to contact me at all during the holidays, and being actually unclear of who my supervisor there is, i wonder just how did he manage to liaise with the company at all in the first place. He actually came to find me on my first day of internship, which i was greatly surprised and relieved, but he's blurness was shining out so brightly that now my whole office knows it too. Imagine when the whole office already know i'm the intern student, and he as my teacher and liaison supervisor, stepped into the office, started to introduce himself and ask for where i'm posted to when i'm just sitting there staring at him. Amusing, enhanced the entertainment level of my first day there. =)
Today isn't what i hoped it will be with my unpredictable nose being stuffy again. I'm just happy i have time to nap though.

Back from cameron in one piece since Thursday, and going straight to work tomorrow! Honestly panic attack again as i realise all the details that are really just hanging there and not dealt with. I wonder if my supervisor is ever awake! With zero contact from him since i've got the news that he's my supervisor, come people, tell me just what's the use of him there? All that's left i suppose, is to pray, and hope for the best.
