I never thought that this day would come. No longer would I have to wake up at 6am to avoid the jam to reach to my office in which the day starts at 8am, no longer would I have to endure traffic to and fro from home and my office and no longer would I have to pay toll everyday on the highway.
Yes, I am happy that my time here has finally come to an end but at the same time, I can't help but to feel a little sad that I'll be leaving this place by 5.15pm. Throughout my 2 months here, I have learned a lot. Although I didn't learn anything different, but the experience here is worth keeping.
I am fortunate enough that my colleagues are not like ones on TV! My colleagues are nice and friendly people who make me feel welcomed and comfortable. At the same time, they know how to respect my privacy and all of us minded our own business, which is good.
I enjoyed writing articles and contributing to Rakan Sarawak and covering events. The experience enabled me to see an event from the media's point-of-view seeing as I have to arrive on time, collect the media kit, take pictures, write down notes and record speeches. While being here, I learned to be professional and punctual. Seriously, my time management has improved quite a lot!
I have also learned that although you don't like what you're covering, it doesn't mean that you can do a half-hearted job on it. I cannot begin to tell you how I have yawned in boredom while covering events. But I still am professional about it and gave it all my all while writing the article for it. In the end, I ended up having fun writing it. Surprise, surprise!
I am still surprised at how fast time flew by. I started in December 15th 2010 and now, 2 months have already passed and when the clock strikes 5.15pm, I will hand in my card pass, clock in my card for the final time and step out of the office for good.
Yes, yes, I am being melodramatic. But what I would like to say is thank you to Faradale Media for giving me the chance to catch a glimpse of working life and to take me in as an intern. What I have learned, I will put it to good use and one day I hope that I have done the organisation proud.
For those who are finishing their internship in a short while, I just want to say congratulations for making it this far! Give yourselves a pat on the back! For those who still have quite a long way to go, I am sure that you are doing a good job! Don't worry, time will pass by quickly and before you know it you'll be like me; waiting to end the day.
To all LUCT students in my batch, see you in 2 more weeks! I hope to exchange stories with you on your internship experiences!
