Personal reflection on the first and second day of Intern @ FTSS



      Personal reflection on the first and second day of Intern @ FTSS
     Okay, for a first day, mine went pretty well. I'd say there are few things I could have done better like:

-Preparing questions about the company
-Getting my mind ready (to schedule work time, that is)
-Bringing extra shoes if you work in a lab... because you do not want to step on Acid (ouch)
-Smile smile smile


Here's what you do when your boss offers you coffee, btw:

Say Yes!

Cansbridge Fellowship - reflections and job search

Hello! Wow, it's been a long while since I have written on this blog. I guess a lot went down, and I got very carried away. Over the last months, I have gone through a few waves. Ups and downs. Downs were no different than the ones described in the last blog, but up's... I have got a lot to say. Around August, or September last year, I decided I was going to apply for the Cansbridge Fellowship as a "learning experience." I was 120% sure I wasn't going to get selected due to the fact that I am still a U1.

What about my PASSIONS? Here's how I have been trying to maintain them... Hello, and welcome back! I know, I know. I have been gone for quite a while now.. and even worse, I haven't even entered the blogs about my conferences I've promised. But here me out.. I've got some real good excuses-- or at least, I think. Hahaha. So here's what I was up to for my 2016 Summer. 1. First of all, I interned in the Risk Management Department for CIMB. I interned for a round a month, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I met a lotttt of really dedicated, lovely people, one of whom I have already started calling "mommy." Hhahah Bong Nita, you're hilarious. Thank you for the entertainment on the boring office days. Other than that, on the serious side, I actually sat down to read and understand a lot of the Group Policy, Credit Policy and Manual, etc. I also did many case studies on the credit loans, home loans, commercial loans. I'd like to think I have a pretty g...
