Memo of Internship 2

Feelings and inspiration are like magic, they appear spontaneously and disappear immediately. Therefore, confining them into words and characters are the best way to keep them eternal.- Peter Phang.

I am now in my 3rd week of internship. Life has not been productive, but it has been interesting.

From next week onward, my supervisor will be giving me a chance to rotate from one department to another. This will definitely be great as I will have the opportunity to put those pieces of jigsaw puzzles together and understand the general operations of Maxis in mobile and broadband networks.

And, he said to me, that engineering skill is very much sought after in today's market. don't give up your engineering background.

Thus, i am contemplating between joining the engineering force and the not-so-technical fields like consulting and banking. How's the life for these two? How's it like to deal with clients and to provide them with solutions?

While this is one of the big questions i have to answer as soon as possible, I had the chance to visit two unconventional companies -Air Asia and Royal Selangor.

"You begin with a humble start, and you will end up proud".

Entrepreneurship has always been in my mind. When you see how KS Pua starts everything from scratch, when you see how Tony and his partner, who just work in a radio station, and now making their marks in the aviation history, your heart trembles and wants to soar as well. And not forgetting the family of Royal Selangor, who has so many beautiful stories to be told to the world.

"The road in front is normally hazy and bumpy, and only when you look back to find the path you have walked on, you have the courage and confidence to move forward".
