Hi guys, it has been a while~
Joke. Talk as if I'm some Internet celebrity who has fans dying to read my updates.. Should I change my username to YHCTheOfficial? ;) Hahaha I need to wake up my idea and come back to the reality that I'm just some SG Kuku Bird, dayum.
There are so many things to talk about but as usual, I am just gonna live in the moment and type whatever feels I have right here right now. Soooo nah not the script! Not taiwan! But...my internship :D Haha. Not many people know but it's one week into my work now and I absolutely like the office environment, working with colleagues and enjoy what I am doing.
The place I'm interning at, is a startup company on preventive healthcare. Haha. From the word "startup", you should be able to imagine how much (little) I earn a month already :( But I really don't mind!! The good thing about a start-up is, it is a really small team. You are immediately the 'director' of the department you're in, and you have a lot of flexibility, space and autonomy. Haha. And yeah, why healthcare? Honestly, I have not imagined myself to be in the healthcare sector ever since I gave up on my doctor dream in sec4 when I chose history over bio. Initially, I was half-hearted when I applied for this company. After all, I have limited knowledge in healthcare and I didn't even know 'hypertension' is a more professional term for 'high blood pressure' LOL. Made a fool of myself.. But right now, I clearly have both of my feet in :D
Meisee that idiot..

On the first day of work, my boss opened up my eyes to new and interesting angles on Singapore's healthcare system. She's very considerate and patient in guiding me about work and also inspires me about life. I didn't foresee the latter part coming so soon! But she was very outright about it. Haha. She encouraged me to use this internship as a journey of self-discovery. She shared with me how lucky she and her investors are, to have found what they are passionate about, what they truly want to achieve in life, at a relatively young age (she's 27 but looks... LOL no la no la~)
"Even throwing rubbish is a reflective process." When I heard that, I thought "errr...wa..this person as jiao as me sia. Everything also can make it philosophical" LOL. Then whatever she said later on starts to make perfect sense!

"The thought process in my head - whatever complaints I have when I'm walking out of the office dragging the trash bag, is exactly how I'll deal with my clients and the problems in my life." And I thought, wow, that's true. Because it is really from small little things, daily life activities, that you can tell what kind of character a person has. In big events, people can always put up a false front. But in small matters, people become careless and let their guards down. That's when one accidentally reveals his or her character flaws, and the true temperament surfaces. LOL okay stopping here.
Of course, being the curious me, I kaypoh about how she, a business major, started this healthcare business. She told me she does feel out of place from time to time, being someone who is not specialised in the healthcare field.
"Most of the time you'll feel like a loser."
And that resonated well with me you know! I always feel that I have many ideas but being a master of none is not going to get me anywhere. But well, she turned her ideas into something concrete. I'm sure in time to come, this company will expand into something big. That conversation really gave me the motivation to figure myself out too. Lately I have been thinking..Do I need to do a job that serves a 'greater' purpose of life? Must it necessarily be glamorous and prestigious? Hopefully, this internship can give me a clearer idea of who I am and what I want. This time round, there is absolutely nobody I knew from the past with me in this workplace. Woohoo!
Actually I talk so much..you still have no idea what my job scope is right? Hahaha. Secret ;) It's gonna sound like a joke but it has something to do with coaching clients on how to lose weight. HAHAHAHAHA. Not acting mysterious but this post is almost over-capacity & I want to write a proper post about it. Because..for the first time, I actually find a true purpose in the nature and orientation of my work (NOT LOSE WEIGHT BTW). I freaking want to do my best. No more mediocrity and merely going through the motion. And I hope to see my ideas materialise into a system for this company.

My office table wahahahaha...not
The walkway to my office
Damn dubious right HAHA
Also, I'm feeling like an adult already..meeting friends at night after work for drinks..ON WEEKDAYS FOR 3 DAYS STRAIGHT LOL. Okay but this is just the first week in, so I may burn out.
2015 is amazing heh. Seems like the rest of the year is gonna be a fun and fulfilling process of learning about myself. All the very best to you guys too! :-) We learn a little bit of ourselves everyday~ Hopefully we can find that one thing that rings truth in our lives!
