Internship started this week, so far very good! - i'm still in honeymoon period, no work so far, coz my boss havent decide wat job to assign me. But it will not be mundane task, more of a individual project that i can accomplish in 10 weeks or so.
but anyhows, I love the culture! there is a batch of analysts that got hired in 07, another batch in 08, and all of them are like a big cohesive family that always hang out tgt, lunch, movies etc.
buddies are assigned to each intern, and the buddy would be from your same school. My buddy was from SMU, and he is a super nice guy, really checking on me everyday to see how i was doing. gave me lotsa tips on how to approach my boss, my colleagues and so on.
the is this internal msn thingy, that you can chat with colleagues in the same office or across the region. very cool, its really like msn is official. So we interns have a dedicated chat room and we chat with seniors/ bosses and all thru this 'msn'.
One of the seniors told he, he enjoyed working there because, the world is his friends. So many diverse background and nationality, and also a clique of analysts hired at the same time lets the seniors bond really well. All of them are super friendly, and very nice pple to talk to, always ready to help us out.
Every Wed is also their jogging day. They will be goin to Mt F4ber, K3ppel etc. I will be joining some of them to jog next week - hee. gotta train for my Sundown ya. hahhhah.
Things move very quickly in this organisation and i'm certainly enjoyign my time, having the mentality of a sponge always absorbing more and more information. I might be working on sharepoint soon, and i cant wait to get started!
My buddy asked abt my grades today and i told him its so bad, he wouldnt wanna know. haha.
i love my job.
