"Dear 2012,
Please be good to me!
Sincerely,
H.Yen"
Happy New Year peeps!!!!!!
Time flies, it's 2012 already!! And I’ve been hiatus for quite some time!! My internship ended on 30th Dec 2011! It was a mixed feeling of happiness and sadness. Happiness- remembering the happy moments from the past 4 months and also no more meeting arrangements (YAY!). Sadness- leaving nice and friendly colleagues, and the cozy working environment.
I’m gonna start my 1st post in 2012 talking about my internship first. I know laa, I should talk about my plan in 2012 instead of reminiscing about history and it’s about my internship summo. I don’t care la cuz I wanna jot down my wonderful internship experience here so next time I can come back n read about it. Ohohoh!
My internship was indeed an awesome one. I never thought I could pass the interview and interned there. Haha! My job scope is not bad la, if it doesn’t include “meeting scheduling” then it would be awesome!! Ahah! In fact, my job scope actually doesn't include "meeting scheduling" at all! Because everyone hates this job because it's quite challenging and quite time consuming and everyone was busy hence, I was asked to do it. I faced lotsa challenges but learned a lot when scheduling big meetings. One example, two weeks before my supervisor went for annual leave, I successfully schedule a huge meeting (a 7-hour-meeting with 16 participants) in one day. This was really a miracle to me and I was really proud of myself, maybe this is just a peanut for you, but for me, it was really an achievement!! Hahaa! However, miracle doesn’t last long, just a few days after my supervisor went on her annual leave, one of the participants’ secretary (Mel) threw a big bomb at me, she called me and told me that her boss is unable to attend cuz he is going Singapore for a meeting. And I was quite emo cuz of three reasons, One: my supervisor’s boss told me that this meeting has to be rescheduled!! Two: my supervisor was not here to support me, I had to seek advice from her boss *gulp*. Three: this happened on my last week of internship, hence, totally ruined my plan to slack enjoy my last week in the company!!
Hence on the last week of my internship, I had no choice but had to start calling and emailing all the secretaries again to get their bosses’ availability in January and early Feb. But little did I know, most secretaries went on their annual leave too! I was really frustrated as I couldn’t get all their available time cuz I didn’t wanna fail my "Last assignment"! And Mel’s boss is the busiest participant of all, he is only available a few days in Jan.
I called the secretaries almost everyday because their bosses’ availability change everyday as people from other business units also ask for their availability too. Some of the secretaries even were mad at me, I can know by hearing their tone when speaking to me. Haha! But Mel was really nice and patient with me!!
So on Thursday, the day before my internship ends, I successfully scheduled the meeting on end of January!! Wheee!! “Last assignment” completed!! It’s not my problem anymore if they declined!! Ahahah!! Most of them already responded, they have accepted my invites on Friday! As for those who still haven’t responded, hopefully they will accept as well la, so my supervisor doesn’t have to reschedule. Haha!
On Friday, the last day of my internship, I emailed Mel, thanked her for her time and all. She called me and we chatted awhile, we didn’t meet each other before but she is really a nice lady lor. *touched* I also made something for my team as a token of appreciation. I thought I would be very lonely on my last day there, cuz half of my team went on annual leave, including my supervisor. T___T But luckily I didn’t feel so, we had a fun photo taking session and one of the managers from other team threw me and my friend a farewell lunch at BubbaGump, just three of us. =)
Some pictures I took:
Something I made for my team
Farewell lunch
Yours truly Yes, I know my table is messy.Yes, I have a big cubicle. haha!
My team members! Missing 5 of them.
I’m not sure about how is it like working at other Sunway companies like SunwayConstruction, SunwayMarketing and others but I really had fun working in SunwayGroupHumanResource. People are really friendly and nice, it’s really a nice place to work, many celebrations and lunches! Ahhaha! I enjoyed doing my internship there! Yay!! And that’s the end of my internship story. Haha!
So what’s my plan now? Although I worked as a cheap labour for four months, but at least I earned! Now that my internship ended, I’m now officially an unemployed, earning nothing, a parasite at home. Lol! Well, I have a plan actually. I don’t know this consider as a plan or not. Hahaha! My plan is to rest, enjoy, sending out resume and also do CNY preparation this month. Yup, that’s all. So does it sound like a plan to you? Hahaha! Hopefully I don’t have to be a parasite at home for so long la, I hope people will hire me laa. Be Optimistic, yo!! =DD
And if you are wondering whether I have any new year resolutions for 2012, well, I’ve stopped doing it since last year, cuz it never happened on previous years. Even if I have it this year, I won’t tell you nor write it here cuz I don’t wanna jinx it. Bwahahaha!!
Btw, how did you celebrate New Year this year? I was with my family and relatives at Bangsar. As usual, we had dinner together then balik rumah and 5 minutes before the clock strikes 12, all of them went outside the house and wait for fireworks show. Haha! I’ve never tried celebrating New Year’s Eve with friends. Maybe I should try it next year?!! Ohoho!!
Happy 2012 y’all!!
xoxo
