:: Work-Internship-Relationships ::

It has been sometime since my last entry. It isn't easy to do regular blogging when I'm working, although I'm given the liberty to listen to online radios, assess emails on my com at work. Thank God.

Internship is definitely different from all other temp jobs which I've done so far. It's where I really feel that I have a responsibility in the tasks I'm assigned, etc. I feel belonged, unlike a temp who only comes to fulfill 8hours of work till contract ends. My employers are really nice people. They would explain to me the hedging process, the history of cocoa beans, the acquisition of acher daniels midland cocoa, etc. They felt that since I was there to learn, they'll brief me on the background, instead of just telling me to do this and that. I felt that was great! They are really sincere at teaching and guiding.

Thursday was hectic and scary. When my manager came to brief me on ADM's hedging on cocoa bean futures. The briefing was fine, and also prove that I need to read up alot on my own. What was stressful is that she said in doing this hedging, they can't afford to make mistakes, otherwise it'll be a loss. Hence, as I analyse and tally the items, I was super-duper careful. Then I came across some values which appear to be like a switch, and just let her know. I was surprised that she actually already knows of the switch, and has already informed the brokers. What was more surprising was that she said it was there just to test if I saw that. Oh dear....

Thank God!! haha. I guess in the midst of challenges that's where you can unleash and reveal your potential. Just imagine if everything's so simple, there wouldn't be a need to do troubleshooting, etc. Hence, your skills are limited to one of only accomplishing something to be done. Problem solving at work is VERY important.

I've taken videos and photos during our cell outings the past few days. There'll be more to come. And the correct time isn't here yet, so the videos wouldn't be up yet.

Intro

Thank you to all who visits my blog!! My entries would be a mirror of my life stories. Some of the entries might not sound edifying. However, at the end of the day, He'll bring good.
If you're looking for one with a "perfect" life, you'd be disappointed. I'm still human afterall, living in the imperfect earth and imperfect market.
