So it has begun. My first day of internship was emm.... interesting to say the least. I say interesting for a few reasons as a matter of fact. I was actually very excited. Very excited. I mean it's like going down memory lane when we were young and it was the first day of school. we had no idea what we were gonna face. But it was new. It was fresh. It was something different was it not. But like school, after awhile we realize we are actually going down a deep dark repetitive road. Currently have not reached there yet, thankfully.
Okay okay, enough ranting about how i felt. Back to my first day. Firstly I arrived early. very early in fact, that the counter was not open yet. So waited. When it was opened, gave my name and their ask me to wait for someone to pick me up. I was the last one to go up and I had to wait for an hour before some colleagues of mine (or people who are currently interning at the same place) came down to show me the ropes. First we had a short ice breaking session with our boss. 45 mins of introducing one another. Followed by one hour of idleness. In the end all we had to do for the day was read a few reading materials. An I had to do an errand run due to the fact i technically know KLCC like the back of my hand. At least I got my security pass done as well as found out there is a gym at my building and it's FREE. Sorry Haikal.
Today is actually a public holiday. So a lot of people are getting some early RNR before this long long 8 months of working comes by. I went to Midvalley megamall with a close friend of mine, Shanny. Sadly there are no pictures due to the fact I am not the type to take any. We enjoyed or battled through the movie of Russle Crowe titled "In the next 3 days." Honestly just wait for it to come out on HBO or Star Movies. Or better yet go rent either Shawshank Redemption or Prison Break. It is a good drama movie. But sadly, i am not a fan of purely drama movies for that is what it is. I even made a comparison of Harry Potter part 1 with this movie. If you want to have a good time go watch Rapunzel. That's worth every cent you pay at these overpriced cineplexes.
Continuing on, besides watching a movie, I went to one of my favorite shops COMIC MART and indulgently bought a booster pack which I ended up a getting a useless wurm (a card that little value and technically useless). But on the bright side, there is this awesome place opposite of COMIC MART. It's a laser tag arena. I mean they do have laser tag here in Malaysia. I so wanted to go in but Shanny said it was weird kicking a bunch of kids arses. I mean Barney does it, why can't we. She said we can go next weekend. WOHOO!!! One thing I'm excited about KL is the food. Hopefully I can try a few new places. Already a member of FruitWorks. Life here is gonna be an interesting ride. Hopefully interning will also be. Tomorrow is a new day right?? So until my next post. TTFN.
