First day of internship

HEY just want to blog here:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHANIE LEE SIOK TING! (i'm sorry that it is a super belated bday wish on my post, haha. I'll make it a point to write down this wish on my post for every xiao de's bday ;) Been so LONG since we last met!)

Anyway, just to update a little, SEASONS + jinxuan, sharifah went to celebrate JIA JIA bday at fish and co. Hope you like that peijia! :D

SO, feeling damn happy down and i'm so gonna post my experience for a FIRST office job!

Brief intro, my job: Intern in Man financial, learning futures contracts (Stock broking)

And this morning, I gt up early feeling PERKY already! I'm sort of like, lazing around, not really that excited for work. Wore formal and took train to raffles place. Reached the company at 8.27 when my reporting time was 9am. my boss appreciated that i went there so early, and thus, I was released at 3.30pm instead of 5pm.

You know what, I guess this is my best job ever. My boss: Kenneth, colleague: Marc, Mathew were GREAT. so my team (doing on futures) consists of kenneth, marc, mathew, john. kenneth, is an american guy which is also my big cousin's bf. Haha. and mathew is also another ang moh, a british guy and marc, a singaporean and john, a malaysian. So everything started real smoothly, with kenneth introducing me to all the key personnels in all the back and front office. Did those introductions, handshakes.

Kenneth is definitely a good boss. and i mean it. Interns are treated lightly cox they do nt stay long and pay and scope of work is mostly nth much of a big deal. and YET, this boss treat me as if I'm gonna join this company in the future soon and I feel as if I'm someone worth showing to the high ranks ppl. You see, the sense of recognition is there.

So, Mathew is another great guy!. This morning, Kenneth gave me a notebook and printed financial terms and those stock broking stuffs to me for reference. And mathew taught me lots of thing. Like, interest rate futures, commodities futures and exchange rate futures. he wrote way lots of things in this notebook. It's totally like a one-on-one tutorial for me on a brand new topic. Such a great teacher to me! There's a lot of learn from them when day goes by.

So for that, I was overwhelmed alright. You know, who will go through this extra mile for a intern!! therefore, I felt really blessed to have a good boss + mates.

Next was Marc. He took me for lunch and showed all places to me. Kenneth treated for our lunch and all that. So he brought me to have some wanton mee stall, with super and never ending long q. Wonder if you guys had went there b4? It's a stall at Chinatown there, "gong zai mian" or smth like that. So he went to get sugarcane for me. haha and fruits next. Was a filly brunch for me!. He was such a gentleman. As in, buy everything for me to eat and even when the stick dropped, we went to get a few new ones for me without me prompting anything. Well, was just kind of surprised as the guys in my sch dun seems to do all this stuffs. And, I dont mean anything here alright ;D

alright, so, we went to the slacking corner recommended by marc. it was outside this fitness first gym. It was damn cooling and a nice place to read a book, chill and enjoy the wind.

And, we went back to the office eventually. haha, was late well, it doesnt matter cox it's my first day!. hahaa, they were real good to me!. After that, learn some other stuffs and Kenneth brought me down to a nearby starbucks and treated me tea. talk about the 'first day' stuffs and he went on to introduce some people to me when they bump into each other.. Well, and i was introduced to another intern from america from there. He's quite HOT. HAHA, but tml's his last day. Oh well..

Hey, and i quite like the environment here. No back office, no admin work. There's only this front office where I'm working at, More opportunities to learn new things, ways they deal with buyers and definitely all the superb and overwhelming computers. It's a really good exposure for me. Well, I guess that's what I will do in the future or take up a degree on finance/civil engineering.

What's most impt is that, there's a PS3 and a big flat panel tv at the dispantry! omggggg

But, though i may have 1 hr break + 2hr tea break, this job is really stressful. the figures jumping around and make you @.@ and that's what has happened to me. HAHA. De-stressing is impt!

So, gonna read up on my basics in futures and tml will be a brighter day!
