What work?
Collected the pass, laptop and stationery on the first day, and had a really short briefing before proceeding to do e-learning (training) on our own. The whole audit department was so packed that we, interns, had to work in the pantry. So we 'worked' for the whole day at the pantry. The only work that we had, for the whole week, was the e-learning. Boring is the only adjective to describe it.
For lunch this entire week, i had it with the rest of the interns, and realised that one of my assumptions is very wrong. I used to think that there are really very small cases of people reserving the seats with their personal items. Its actually quite prevalent in the food courts located in Shenton Way.
Tissue packs are given a new life, and their objectives now include reserving. They are ALL over the seats and tables during lunch hour, and i never once fail to see them. Besides the tissue packs 'chopping' the seats being a common scene, the long queues, that can really stretch as long as the flight of stairs needed to walk up to SB, is also a regular.
The second day gets better, we found tables in the office to work in. Sat in a seat with a 'scenic' view. Great Eastern, PWC and UOB buildings are all within sight... Its practically a concrete forest... Really started to imagine how good it will be if the office is facing the sea instead. So the day continued to pass with nothing exceptional happened while the whole group of interns started to die away while working on the e-learning. The time passed ever so slowly as we repeated the routine for the third and fourth day.
~No work
For the fifth day, i looked at the 'scenery', scanned the auditors that buried their heads in their work, and read the news around the world, the routine had been completed the day prior and i'm at a loss of what to do. But fortunately, i managed to share some work with my fellow interns, from NP, if not, i would really have had a hard time writing the tasks i did for the day in my logbook.
Talking about my fellow interns, i was expecting them but didn't know the turnout is so large. There are only 4 of us in Deloitte, with 1 in the Tax Department. NP had more than twice our size, with 5 of them in Audit Department, the good thing is, they're nice people to work and dine with. One of them was so lucky to be able to travel to Batam to carry out his audit assignments. If only i had the same chance, then i would have a holiday... DAMN!!
i will never let you fall...
