Been long since I updated about my work life.
I finished off all the way and now I'm left with like 16 days of SIP.
Whew.
I owe 3 weeks of reflection which my boss seemed to have forgotten about.
And I got a pay rise from $440 to $500.
I got a half day off on 7th because it's Deepavali and there might be a second half-day off tomorrow 9th. haha!
I'm doing quite okay, Boss had asked me if I would wanna carry on working with the firm, but I told him I cannot confirm as there's National Service coming up.
I realised that there's a cultural shift when the bosses are not in. It'll be more chatty and lively, and everyone will seem so much friendlier, I even had a conference meal with everyone when it was the bosses' off day last week. A feast of mutton briyani, very nice big packet.
Can't wait to get back to school because there's like so many things to do in school. Work gets monotonous. School Never.

6th Over...
Officially, the sixth day of SIP is over.
I've learnt quite a lot from the work I do.
And sure learnt how to slack on the job too. haha!
Overall, I think I am quite lucky as compared to other interns who are all swamped with work. At least I can learn slowly on the job.
Doing MLOCT is fun, calling all the agents for office lease. I hope I get to like, design the office or something. hahaha! Just don't let me be the contractor. Eh wait, my dad's friend's a contractor! I remember asking him for quotes for stuffs. Cool huh?

SIP launch just got over...
So we're launched.
Everyone, to the exclusion to those who have already started work and the very special one who can take another few more weeks of break, are awaiting the big day. Wednesday, 12th September 2007.
A quick listing of all frequent names I'll have on my phone for the period of time from 12th September to 30th November. I've kinda counted, excluding the weekends, it'll be exact 58 days of working as an intern.
That also means my allowance of $440x3 will be simplified into around $22.75 per day. hahaha!
Shep - In the same building as I am, different level.
Laura - Same Co as Shep
Anyone else in Peninsula? I wonder.
Eunice - A few minutes walk down the street at High Street Centre
Carmen and Caleb are excluded, even though they're in the same building as Eunice, not because I'm a sore interviewee, but due to the fact that I believe I won't be having them on my phone much.
Sheena - Right across the street in the Parliament. Damn cool. Even though it is just a stone's throw away, Sheena said I can't get any secret messages through as the Parliament is protected by an invisible shield or something. I'm gonna try someday.
Alvin - Quite cool. He's in at The Adelphi. Maybe can head back to Tampines with him when I have tuition after work.
Kelly's probably got the coolest job ever. Her boss came down to the launch, all proud and high and mighty and in front of the whole LT, said to her, in a booming voice;
"Kelly, I don't want to see you in office after six, I don't want emails from you after six. I don't want to see you in office during weekends."
American companies' style of working - Get the job done well and good and that's it. Very cool.
Okay, so my Liaison Officer is Mr Looi. I am harping on the thoughts of whether or not to tell him about this very low-profile blog of mine. For him to take note of my so-called learning and experience of SIP. I believe it will help him a lot in assessing my growth.
The only problem is that, I might get a little real in here and start rattling on and on about what's not. This might be a problem to his assessment of my internship.
Hmmmmm...
So for now. I shall go do up my Civil Procedure Chart and keep it safe with me. I'm so gonna die, like what Ms Yu had reminded me.
Karuppan Chettiar & Partners. Looking forward, yet nervous.
This blog will kick off into action from here on. =)

18 days after...
I'm still on with this blog.
It's just that there's nothing much to talk about work nowadays.
Awaiting September 12th where my internship will officially start.
Till then.
And just to make a note here, I've actually inspired some of my friends to start up their own work-intern-blog to keep track of their experiences at internship. Most of them are in an inactive state now at the moment. All awaiting for the commencement of Internship.

Wine
Vickie
Inspired one after another. haha!

I ACCEPT!
The Internship position at Karuppan Chettiar.
The Lawyer said that she'll take me simply because she has no time to go for interviews for the other students. What a tone of dismay.
I must work hard I guess.

Hope I get a response soon from them.
I'm left with Karuppan Chettiar, Patrick Miranda and Philips Electronics.
Shall send them soon.
Anyway, it was my first time working in a Law firm today, at Teo Keng Siang & Partners, as a data-entry part timer. It was interesting to learn how the law office works, the dynamics and the clockwork between the secretaries and paralegals.
A great experience. I got to learn this new program called QuickBook which does accounting for you with much ease, just that data entry is a boring chore. haha!
