Sometimes it is not what it seems
Because butterflies can be wasps.
So, when your stomach flutters and
your hands shakes and cheeks flush,
it may not be love but pain instead.

My internship experience


First and foremost, I’m not gonna name my internship company. If the shoe fits, well hello Cinderella. 

Have you heard of Murphy’s Law? The more you want something, all the more you would not be able to get it. I am always separated from my BFF. Let's just say that 3/4 of my class went to one company, while 4 of us went to another. I didn't think much about it in the beginning. 

The company has actually quite a good reputation in Singapore and even globally. Key, it's one of the banks alright. Due to banking secrecy, I shan't name the bank or even mention any of their policies or practices. 

My school notified each one of us where we are posted in terms of location and department. Initially, i was posted to the compliance depart (which i actually liked, though i was the only one in HQ). When I went for the contract signing, i realised that i was appointed the trade operations. You could imagine the surprise on my face. The good thing is that I'm posted to the tampines branch and my bff is just in the next building. But seriously, i wasn't expecting to be posted the trade operations. 

With all that's said, i tried my best to look on the bright side. There are many times I felt really shity because my other classmates were getting better welfare while i had to work 9-6.30pm every day. Even when I have nothing to do, I’m not allowed to go home. There were also issues with the pay. Up till today, I still haven't received my October’s pay. I've called human resource and emailed countless of times. I still haven't heard back. I mean, come on, how long does it fucking take to call finance to check what accounts have been credited? Because clearly, my bank account summary remained the same. 

As generally, i am not the typical kind of person where i would like to waste my day away doing nothing. I have to be doing something to pass time. When you don't engage in anything, i can feel every burning minute. I was left with no choice but to hang out at the washroom to waste my day away. The first weeks were excruciating. Too much to bear. Mid of my term, it got better. Tasks that I was given became apparently "my favourite" because I had to name it that to make sure they give me those tasks every day. I even volunteered to find documents in the vault. Can you imagine how bored I was?

In addition to all this problems, I have to write a daily log which my supervisor has to read and acknowledge. Not forgetting, the report that I have to write at the end of my internship. The last week went by just like that, I was loving how quickly it went by. 

My colleagues were nice enough to give me a treat. Dian Xiao Er (from my favourite aunty), putien (from the branch head), Zi Char (by evelyn and charissa) and 4 fingers (from my in-charge/supervisor). I didn't expect to receive so much gratitude and i even received a parting gift. Of course, I didn't leave without sending my regards to them as well. I made each one of them a "take-a-break" snack bag with all the goodies and some stationaries that they may need. Ending it off, with a small personal note to every one of them. 

It was rough in the beginning, but I enjoyed my stay there and it's time to move on. It was really an eye opener, I've learnt so much and made many new friends. I missed the laughter I shared with my colleagues talking about the boys in our office. 

My internship is definitely way better than what i'm facing every day now.
