Heyya!!

_

It has been 3 months plus! I miss you so much bloggie!!

By the way, my internship ended on the 15th and I am gonna be a full-time student again! =)

It was a great experience I must say. Remember I took 3 days of MC after 4 days of working? Yup, bad beginning for my first few weeks (lunchtime was boring too).

Luckily, CITIPEEP was born. CITIPEEP consists of a bunch of my classmates doing internship in Citibank (they still have 1 more week to go.. hehe). Having lunch with them was fun, like having Honey Stars as breakfast, rather than plain cornflakes, although we usually ate in almost the same place. Lunch time arrived faster with click-able lunchmates hey.

'Introducing the new' CITIPEEP!

Alright, back to my internship. They paid me peanuts. But I did not let peanuts demotivate me. My weekdays were kinda fixed routines. I gotta wake up at 6.45am and leave my apartment by 8am. Then, I had to endure the public transportation nightmare for the next 20 to 35 minutes. If I was early, I usually alight at KLCC station and tapau Subway breakfast (RM5.9 only, sandwich with cuppa), or else I just eat in the cafeteria. Official working hours 8.45am - 6.15pm. But for most of the time, I was among the first to leave - at 6.45pm.

As I was attached to the asset management operations division, that means for most of the time I was performing operational tasks, creating and fine-tuning operations manuals. Operations enhanced my spreadsheet knowledge but it is certainly not a division I would like to work in the future. Nevertheless, I had the opportunity to spend 35% of my time in Fund Management division, where I prepared TWRR and daily portfolio performance reports for fund managers, explored Bloomberg, attended Bloomberg courses and analyst briefings.

It was not entirely smooth-sailing though, I did make some silly mistakes. How I wish I was born to be ultra-meticulous. Lessons learned. I will never repeat any of them again. I also learned the importance of 'tai ngan sek yan', though the people I befriended were mostly humble and nice. I ain't any richer, but the brain is certainly heavier. =)

By the way, went to see the dentist today and got my very first dental fillings in 21 years. Quite an achivement huh. Hm.. 1 week holiday seems not enough for me. I still have lotsa outstanding stuff to do! Gtg...

*Pfft*
