Just another day in office? NO! Of course not! Everyday in office is exciting and
challenging! I am going to the Luwan facility starting tomorrow! Last day that I will
be in office here at least for the new couple of months! One step nearer to my goal!
Also gotten my namecard today. haha! not bad. But too late. They said they’ll have
to print another set when I am there as the numbers are different (so professional!)
haha! Ate 星期一鸡腿饭for lunch again! hehe! really love it! haha! Wang Yong says
the drumstick looks like a ping pong bat… but what the heck, I eat it anyway! hehe!
Well, what can I say? Sad to leave my comfort zone. But its necessary evil I guess.
For the greater good… hehe. Would be involved in implementing a super big system
for the whole of China. Sounds big. I think its an opportunity to learn the processes
of the organisation from how it generate sales, to all the behind the scene operations.
Like what Linus told me:"observe, see what are the processes…" Guess I’ll have to do
that. Hope my ISS experience can help. haha! Excited! Well at the same time, I am also
abit 舍不得my still new workplace, my workstation, my wonderful colleagues. I have to
be adaptable to changes. Thats the only thing that’s constant. I can only hope it is for the
better.
Meantime, I shall continue to email the relevant heads and keep track of what has happened
in both sub organisations and what are the directions. Need to know how they think. It’s mind
screwing. but its good for my mind. haha!
Also taken a picture with my fellow interns from China. Too bad they are all not from Fudan.
Difficult to meet them in future as their internship would have ended. Man! I am missing my
colleagues here already! Like Mike, Waley, Peter, Denise, Jessica, Joyce, Catherine, Carrie,
Connie… sooo many! haha!
Took a day to check out the bots idea. Glad that the sales and marketing department thinks its
good! hehe. I like it when things get real real big. Thats what my microsoft project 2007 is for
anyway. dun waste the software.
Gona go home soon. meeting Gary and gang for our usual dinner. noodles and egg! hehe! First
time went home with Denise! haha! I remember the first time I went to office, she was the one
that had showed me THE WAY around here! Havent had a chance to thank her! Maybe I can do it
here! Thanks Denise! You are the best 大姐！！I hope she sees this! discussed on the Parkway
issues on our way home. She shared with me quite abit on how is all started here! interesting!
Had the same 洋葱拌面，加个蛋！haha 4.5RMB as usual. Took a evening sunset shot of our house.
Later Charlene will be coming over and bringing stuff that dore bought for me.
I don’t know the rules in your company, but if possible ask for it that the role "Intern" be removed on your namecard… my experience tells me that interns are never treated seriously in China. It’s all very well if you are not going to meet people, but if you do (even among Singaporeans and what not), the guy on the receiving end of your namecard is not likely to be entirely impressed if he finds that he’s talking to an intern, unless somebody introduces you as one (then it will be another ball game altogether).
If you struggle to think about what to put as your designation, think of something that best matches whatever you are doing (I remember that I don’t have a designation stated on my card).
Just my experience and 2 cents’ worth.
