New Year - 2012!!

Hi all, i had a wonderful count down at Holland V :D Hope everyone had your fun that night too.

This week is a refreshing week, especially the sleeping time i had for the whole of Monday... The first day of work started off with filing of accounts for submission, i was not tasked to do it but Mey (Accountant) had shown how much work is required to compile the whole year accounts together.

As for me i suddenly remembered Mr Chee telling me about the SPRING S'pore funding for SME, therefore i started searching for more information online. After reading the material, i downloaded and printed a copy of the application form for Mr Chan to fill up. According to the website, this scheme is to encourage SME (Small-Medium Enterprises) to take in intern. It requires the company to plan for the learning path for the intern plus the employment after the internship semester. Which means the intern will be a official employee of the company after he/she finishes internship.

The key factor that lure me into researching is not the employment after internship but the bonus that is promised at the end of the programme. It is stated that each intern can enjoy a $2100 bonus when the internship had completed. Unfortunately the company that wish to participate in this scheme must apply before the internship started. Hence the application that will be posted will not affect me but i hope that future intern can enjoy this bonus :D

Happy New Year to all the readers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was thinking of the number of holidays that i had been celebrating. The above dates are not a reflection of Singapore's Racial Harmonious but also the total number of days that i will be on public holiday :D 16 weeks of Internship is actually 15 :P

Last 6th week

Due to the recent heavy rain. The water table had risen and low land area is starting to flood. Our resident that resides in the central district is experiencing leaks from the vent pipe, broken air con ledge, etc.

I had to arrange for our waterproofing specialist to investigate and solve the leaks asap as the raining season is expected to worsen according to NEA. Together with the specialist, we had went down to the resident unit to take photo and arrange for rectification work to begin. As such, coordination of timing is critical and hard to achieve as owners of the units are usually busy with their work and do not allow us to rectify without their supervision. These are some common request which makes life difficult for the coordinator;

1) Work can commence only in the afternoon

2) Work must stop at 12 as no one will be at home after that

3) We are only free on Sunday afternoon

4) Equipment and material had to be outside the unit

I had yet to find a good way to counter every one of the requests, especially (1) & (2). I keep telling myself, "it is not my unit hence don't be too involve". With this mindset i learnt to rephrase my sentence when i wanted to arrange a time for the rectification. I would tell them the scope of work and that it must be a full day work, after that i would ask them to provide me with dates instead of i giving them the dates.

From these experiences it further proves that there are all sorts of personality and with each personality we had to deal with it differently. Sometimes "Happy Go Lucky" attitude is useful but in order to give people a good perception of myself i would be serious most of the time. :P
