Updates

Here's a story about me working in a company as an intern. How boring could that be huh? No! dont skip and scroll down. I promise it's gonna be good, particularly for those who crave for my updates.


Last semester, I was desperate to look out what opportunities out there that are available for me. I know I had not told you about this before. I looked so relaxed and don't bother for my future post-graduation, but actually I was so anxious inside. After heaps of prayer, gallons of tears (as if I could measure it up), hours and hours for job hunting, 10+ resume submissions, I finally secured an intern position. There was this HR lady, called me out of the blue and said "Joshua, I have secured an intern position for you. Congratulations." I was like really?? You just made my day ma'am, oh nope, my month, wait!! my YEAR !

Securing a job for me is so critical. The reason is because I want to make my parents proud of me. At least, their money is not wasted. I proved that I can do something after all those $$ that they spent on my education.

I have been interning here for 6 weeks. For those of you who has been indoctrinated to say that school is the best, I am here officially to say, YOU ARE WRONG. I have been enjoying myself, thisssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss much!

I believe the work environment is really critical. Everyone in my team is so supportive. I like the fact that my manager is such a gentleman. Although we have not engage in so many ways, but he actually is the kind of manager everyone could ever ask for. Then, not to mention my senior colleagues. One of them gave me a lunch treat, then another one invited me for an Aussie-day bbq which for me, is something special since I had never celebrated Australian day in Aussie way before.

What I love most, on the bottom line, is the consistency. I wake up at 7.30 each morning, hit my office at 8.50 and working through until 5pm. I don't have to think about what is up for tomorrow as I know, I will be just working. Life is kind of flat, but apparently that feels great after all those 18 years in school.
My department is in level 10, so I always take the elevator. Then, I rush into my cubicle which makes me feel so professional. I actually told the girl who sits next to me on my first day that I always want to have my own cubicle. Shit, it did look like a shallow dream I know, but I just want something different. I want to dress up in business attire rather than wearing T-shirts and attending lectures. Yikes!

Anyway, I wanted to say, working life is not as boring, There are plenty of opportunities out there that is actually closer to be grasp when you have actually worked. Of course, you will need to sacrifice your time having fun and stuff, but it is all worth it. What do you think guys?
