INTERNSHIP: End

May I announce, the end of my two month internship!

I ended my internship at H.I.M International with mixed emotions. Firstly, happy and excited that I have ended work! Putting aside the intern report, a thesis and a once-per-week class at college, now what awaits me is a world full of fun! No work, no classes - like real everyday classes. Wow! This is definitely the first time in my life I'm going to go through this!


The building.

I'm really thankful to everyone at the company, the Malaysian ones, the Taiwanese ones, and even the artists who've came during my two month stay at H.I.M. Now I'm proud to say I've once stepped into - or rather, walked along the borders - of the entertainment industry and have seen how things work in a music label.

I don't know if those were for the sake of courtesy or they really did mean it, I felt appreciated from the way our goodbyes turned out to be. I'm glad.

That (above) was written on my evaluation form. It says, "Has a strong ability in writing, excellent learning attitude and a desire to improve. Will be able to achieve great accomplishments if advanced into the writing/literary field."

I must mention, H.I.M is a Chinese company and my writings were all done in Chinese Language. This is definitely not the first time I'm receiving such compliments, but looking at this internship evaluation form, reminds me of the days in primary school, when I always got 50-54 marks in our Chinese essay exams (the passing mark was 50).


The last day this lift sent me to that 13th floor.

It reminds me of how much my class teacher (also my Chinese Language teacher) complains/worries about it. For five years she's taught me (standard two to six), the same old thing she'd say to my parents during the Open Day was, "Your daughter really has to read MORE Chinese books. She's seriously poor at writing."

I even remember being placed fourth in class (getting a top three in a class in Lick Hung wasn't easy at all, it was the greatest honour to most students - and parents) when my total marks was about 30 marks lesser than the person placed third. Why - because she scored 80 in her Chinese essay paper while I got 50 in mine. Jeez.


I have no idea what caused this but one year, in an exam, I was surprised to a 80 in my Chinese essay. AN EIGHTY! On my Chinese essay paper, was totally weirder than alien to me that time. Especially when it was such a sudden great leap. From 50, right to 80. No joke. Till now do I not know what exactly made it. I hadn't started reading more as my teacher had advised. Uh-huh, but thank God; for now it's one of my greatest talent - as people say.

Thank you, my primary school teacher, too. :)

Note my name - and the doctor's name. :D

Okay, it's weird talking about this in an entry about the last day of internship, but that was what I felt most today!

Anyway, thank you everyone at H.I.M, thank you teachers, thank you mum and dad, thank you bro, thank you friends - and thank God. My two months internship ended safely, soundly, happily and productively. Thank you's!
