Thoughts for the end of internship
Friday, October 15, 2010 @ 8:18 PM

It's been a long time since I last blogged at my personal blog.
Share a little of my thoughts for the internship period at Design Spirits.




Before I start my internship, I kept saying I am having a bad life, I am upset with my life and everyone. I was pessimistic, I felt like I have lost myself.




At the start of my internship, I complained about the hours, I complained about the food, the people etc. Until now, I still complain. I think it's human nature to complain when they go to unfamiliar country, after all we all think that our own country is always the best place to be at.




It has come to the end of internship and I realised I am no longer in a lost. I have waken up from that nightmare.







I become more optimistic, I accept challenges, I face everything, no matter good or bad, with a smile and pleasant thinking.







I know what I want to do more clearly, no longer in a mist.


This good place, good learning place, has made me grow up.

I went to the site with him before, I can feel that he wants to teach me things but he could not find the time.
Thank you Kawai-san, humourous boss.

Sexy and tall!

Our Japanese supervisor: Mayu-san



This lady is the one who influenced me the most.

The first day when I saw her, I thought she is a proud person who dislikes newbies. I was right, she really hates newbies hahaha. She hates newbies because she has to train the rookie all over again about the project she is handling. Any newbies that is asked to follow her, will get hell training.

Hell training: Autocad, work overnight, skip lunch/dinner

I get along well with her, I address her as "zeh" (cantonese term of elder sister), she sometimes call me "mui" (cantonese term of younger sister), "cow" (because I am very blur), or fullname (when she's angry or anxious about something).

I did not know that I can tolerate this stranger without venting my anger. I have never talked back, I listen to her every single instructions. Well of course, sometimes I still fool around and make her feel annoyed. haha.

I know she dotes on me too, I know she really treats me like her little sister. So whatever work she asks me to do, I will do.


She taught me not just about the work, also about life. She taught me how to face my life independently, know what I want, and some financial knowledge.
My wish is granted, this is the "zeh" I have been wishing for. I respect her and love her. I have a zillion of thanks for her but I do not know how to express. Even on the last day, we do not get the chance for a farewell hug.

I hope I can find time and chance to look up for her after I graduate. In front of her, I am a little.

Though we only know each other for 3 months, but the relationship we have is stronger than what I have with my own siblings.

She is my mentor-sister.

I miss you so much, zeh. I will carry on with the mindset I have now and live my life.
