Last week of Internship at FTSS


Last Week as an Intern 

 I started my internship at the FTSS lab around the second week of June. It seems like it was my first day yesterday, really. Time flies. Right now, I am in my last week of the internship and I am starting to really appreciate the little things that I am doing.

Recently, I started working on a research project on the Fermentation of Jambolan Plums Red Wine. We have done all the steps and are only waiting to chemically analyze and evaluate the wine. That means I'd have to take a few day off school to do this..

I guess I can say I learnt a lot from the internship- both in terms of laboratory and soft skills. I definitely want to work here again next summer. That is, if I am free.

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. It's not uncommon for them to want to select higher years, which makes sense, since they'd benefit more out of the internship in Asia given the skills that they have. But December rolled around, and after an application and three interviews, I was in. I was IN! I honestly couldn't believe it myself either. I was studying for my last final (Chee 231, which is Statistics) when I got the call from Ross Kelly. I was shocked, and I wanted to cry. I imm...

What about my PASSIONS? Here's how I have been trying to maintain them!

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...
