World’s Coolest Intern


Logging in to my Nuffnang account is one of my automated online-rituals whenever I switch on the lappie. Other than sycotically checking my analytics (daily, weeky AND monthly, jeez), I noticed that there was this contest (grin grin!) relating to blog entries! Honestly, that's the only thing I could participate confidently. Anyway! The prize this time wasn't any cool movie premiers but instead... wait for it! A super cool 6-month internship programme with Standard freakin Chartered in Singapore! And if that wasn't cool enough, you get paid for it in Sing dollars yo!

And since I just finished my degree two months back, I though why not give this a go =)
Anyway! My task now is to come up with super cool reasons why I deserve to win this thing and more importantly, how I would greatly benefit from this programme *responsible nod*

I chose to pursue a degree in Accounting & Finance because I wanted to be involved with numbers and of course, earning the big bucks! However, accountants are always thought of as nerdy and not-cool slash fun (zzz!) but that's so not true! Sometimes I do secretly wish I pursued Mass Communications as a second degree. Lol. I know it's not too late but I guess I shall just keep my fun and cool bits for after-work =)

ANYWAY!
Let's zoom in to my fun and cool bits now! (okay it's weird trying to sound like I'm so full of myself *cough* =P)
This contest mentioned that Standard Chartered is looking for those who are super into this social networks shyts but err.. I can't help wondering is that's some sort of trick question! Hahah. I mean, I thought employers HATED the internet and were sworn enemies with Facebook :S

Anyways, I'm just going to tell the actual (sycotic) truth about my online habits. Hehe.
The first thing I do when I come online is sign in to Windows Live to check my mails and appear offline on chat. LOL!
Next comes Facebook and as soon as I enter my password, I log in into TweetDeck while waiting for Facebook to open.
I hate wasting even a second online. Lol.
I installed TweetDeck after looking at it on my ck's desktop. It looked kinda cool with it's synchronisation with Facebook, Twitter and Gmail.
Upon opening all this me-related shyts, then I start streaming various tv shows to load so I can watch it comfortably while lying on the bed =P

Ok I guess i haven't gotten to the point AT ALL sheesh!
Anyway I'll be a super cool intern cos I'm all cool in the inside! Lol.
When it comes to work, I am responsible enough to perform the basic shyts like punctuality issues and completion of tasks. It's not really because I"m a kiasu-fied nut but mostly cos I hate getting told off.
ABSOLUTELY HATE IT.
So I just try my best to prevent it in the first place =)

And also, I think I've worked in so many places, so many types of jobs, from cinema ticket counters, maths tutor, events, promoter shyts, science camps and even in an accounting firm. Heck, I just worked these past 4 days at a party shop in conjunction with Halloween.
So, I kinda know how to deal with my employer and colleagues but on the other hand, the downsides would surely be the lack of expertise due to the fact that these jobs were mostly on a temporary basis. But of course, it was because I had to attend school =)

Also, I can't wait to start working so I can have some incoming cash in order to take the next step in life! Psst! At the moment, I'm DYING to get an iPod Touch 4! Sigh! Facebooking and Twittering 24/7! Uber coolness yo! Hahhaha =)
So yeah, I can't wait to start earning money so I can plan my future and progress accordingly.
And having a job that i love is a must!
If you love your job, it would not even seem like work! That's the best thing EVAR!
I always hope that I will have a job that will suit me in every way. A job that requires me to utilise MY abilities to get things done and having a great time at that!

Actually, I had plans to apply for an internship in local companies although my degree allows me to start work straight away. I believe an internship would provide a better learning opportunity although it pays less. (of course, winning this would be a TOTALLY different story altogether heheh)

Anyway, it would be the ultimate coolest thing ever to win this cos the prize is almost like a dream. An internship by itself is an asset and plus, working in Singapore would be a total eye (and mind!) opener (and did I mention super SUPER cool!?) anddddd getting paid of SGD30,000 for it is just bonkers baybehh!

Too bad it's only for one winner =(
But I'm just trying my luck anyway especially since writing this entry was hardly any work *wink*
So that's the end!
Happy Halloween ya' allz!

Oh and since I was working at 1Utama for Halloween these past 4 days, I noticed that Malaysians DO take Halloween prettayyy seriously! Who would have thought huh? I'm SO going for trick or treat next year! =P
And what do you know, October's gone and 2011 is just two months away! It's madddddd how time flies!
I still feel 17 sometimes. Sigh!
Deepavali's next Friday! And it's gonna be at Penang this time!
CAN'T FREAKING WAIT!

Hope November brings us all good stuff! =)
Nites lovelies!
