A month in Internship

A month had just passed for me for my internship. What can I say....

Starting was horrible, I remember myself complaining about what I do for the first 2 weeks. Well that means I have complained for like half a month. I was super unhappy with what I was doing. The paper my lecturer gave me indicated that I would be doing some development and maintaining of some web-base software. Looked at that with excitement and anticipation, and BOOM! I reached there and all I got to do was reports, phone calls and faxing. That sure is a H*LL lots of difference from developing and maintaining a web-base software. Thats not all, the previous intern( whom is really very pretty) did not really teach me how to do my reports. I had to like flipped through all the files regarding this project, searched the computer files( thank GOD for the search function in windows) and finally with a a few smses here and there with her and a few more emails with the person in-charge of the projects and asking my Boss, I got the hang of it now. Yes it was freaking terrible to go through that, at least for me.

So that was the first 2 weeks, well part of it. I still have not explained on the faxing and phone calling, which is also related to that. It will take too much to write all that. Well I prayed over that and finally on the 3 week, something start to change. Not the things that I have to do, but what I'm feeling. I don't feel so bad anymore, I felt like it's nothing. What can I say, it got to be GOD. I remember something I heard from pastor, I think it's from him. " When you prayed for the problems to change, something will change, either the problems are removed or you change. " Oh well something like that I don't remember much. For me I think it's kind of like both.

My lecturer came to my office and talked to my boss, he said that I am not suppose to be doing this report and if this continues he would take me back. So I was glad and really hopped that he would just take me back and I rather stay in school and be a lap tech. But that did not happened, instead my boss told him that I will be doing a new project on programming which is awaiting for approval from IDA. Well he didn't lie, I am going to do that project, but before that I have to finish up all the reports and close most of the projects that can be close. Well by then I don't feel like I can't do it. I felt alright, I look forward in finishing the reports and start on this new programming project where I have to learn a completely new language all by myself.

Well now is the end of the fifth week I am here, and as you can see, I'm writing this post during office hours. I finished the reports I can finish, now waiting for customers to email or mail me all the documents I need. Emailed them and even called them to remind them. I am practically doing nothing after lunch hour today. Just surfing the net and chatting with people who are free on MSN. My colleague on the other hand is super busy with phone calls helping customers to troubleshoot their problems. I somehow wished that I know how to use the software and can help him do the troubleshooting.

Moving on to something else. I wanted to go for the up coming camp for ARROW and helping out in the PK camp for Children's Church. As there I am not suppose to take leaves during internship, I thought in my mind, I wouldn't be able to make it for both. My leader have been telling me and praying with me that I would be able to go for the ARROW camp. So today I took the courage to ask my Boss, at the same time asked him to sign my monthly grading. He gave me an A, I was super happy, and then when asking about to take leave, in short, he gave me. I cannot believe how GOD actually let him give me leaves so I can go for the ARROW camp.

That's not all, because I though 2 camps in a month and taking 5 days leaves will be too much, so I sort of gave up the idea of helping out in the PK camp. Guess what, I got a call from one of the leaders in Children's Church, she says that they are in need of males teachers. So I told her, I am in internship now so wouldn't be able to go, but if can, I can join on friday night after work. She went back to check and came back asking if I could also stay on thursday. I hesitated for awhile and asked where is the place. It is rather near my office, its only one MRT station away from my office. So I agree to go. I will be going on thursday after work, bringing all my things, stay over, then friday I go work and go back again at night after work and stay throughout till Sunday where we bring the kids to church.

Say what is greater then this ALMIGHTY GOD that I worship. He is nothing but Love and everything Good. Wanted to write something cool on the last sentence but can't find the word, because there is no words to describe how good HE is. Once again, HE have done the impossible for me again. =D

THE END




Another side note, I am now a Fan of Mei Xin hehe. She's this girl acting on the channel 8 9pm show. She's acting as the youngest sister in the family, the JC girl. Went to do some googling on her last night and found out alot of things. She is from my secondary school, she is one year older then me, and she is my friend's cousin. YES the last info is the most unexpected of them all. I was just anyhow bombarding people on MSN from my secondary school asking about her and then my friend and he just said " oh she's my cousin". I was like BIG EYE stare on his MSN window and started bombarding him all the questions. You see, I have this group of friends from secondary school. We meet very often since we left school even till now when most of them are in NS. And he is in that group. They are considered one of my best friends and I did not know about her when I know him for so long, almost 8 years now. He said that we definitely seen her before in school, but she use to be so quiet and all so we don't remember her. So there you have it I am now a Fan of her hahhahaha.
