It’s been two weeks since I started my internship here at Thumbprint. Overall, I would say I have learn a lot in these two weeks. I learn to write Corporate Identity manuals, flyers and brochures, websites, and proofreading, etc. Besides, I also experienced how a real working environment will be in the field of advertising and branding or marketing. Tough…yes, a little because of the working hours:
A typical weekday:
7 a.m. Reveille
8 a.m. Arrive at office
9 a.m. Start of the day
1 p.m. Lunch
2 p.m. Start of 2nd half of day
6:30 p.m. End of work
7:30 p.m. Gym
9 p.m. Wash up
10 p.m. Dinner
11 p.m. Home
12 Midnight. Last Post
I wonder if this will be the kind of life that I will be living after my graduation. Now I know why people always say that university’s life is the best time of your age. Like my dad said: “When you’re studying, the time is yours; when you’re working, the time is your employer’s.”
Anyway, I love learning about new things, especially stuffs that are important to my field of study: Mass Communications. Though what I am doing in this internship is not directly related to my Broadcasting sequence in my degree, I am at least getting in touch with people who are experienced in the field. I am sure this internship will be a great experience and will leave a nice impact on my resume.
Thank God, it’s Friday! (A quote from “Hotel for Dogs”). I am looking forward to the final Pesta Preparation Camp series that is beginning this afternoon till Monday noon. I miss those times when I can stay through the whole camp because now I couldn’t have done so due to my work.
And, the National Pesta at Penang state is just a week away! I have been praying, praying, and praying for the Boys as well as the Officers of 1stKL and BB Malaysia as a whole. As a Boy, I know how much this event meant to the Brigadiers. My last experience of Pesta was in 2006: took part in the footdrill competition (defeated), singing competition (1st runner-up) and band competition (1st runner-up), I was one of the very few who took part in all the competitions.
This year, knowing that I do not have the chance to participate in any of the competitions, I am taking up a role of instructorship. From re-arranging the theme song, to vocalizing, recording, choreographing, and costuming, I worked very closely with Terence, former 1st KL Captain (when I was in Form 1), who’s also one of my bosses at work now. I take the singing team as my masterpiece (of course with some other instructors helping too) and they will go out to grab the trophy. Trust in yourselves, Boys, you guys can do awesome! Strive for the best, and God will do the rest.
Cheers, for this is the day that God has made.
