TIME FLIES WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN

That's the best way to describe my internship here at Tangs. It's Friday today, and I spent most of the day walking around the store. Had to visit the various departments to return merchandise we borrowed for all our photoshoots. Today is also the beginning of the Great Singapore Sale here so I had a chance to walk the store and do some shopping while on the job haha. I've already mentally put aside enough money for a leather bag and a cowskin wallet. Thank God for the 20% off for staff. The perks I tell you. I've already taken 3 sets of tickets to musicals, gala openings and movie screenings.

That aside, working here has been great because I've had the chance to think of ideas for our promotions, events and advertising. And also more importantly, learn to execute this ideas and translate them into reality. The brainstorming process is so random and exciting. It's been really fun. The friends I've made here are real fun. The permstaff have been very patient and willing to accept my random ideas. The Trainee Executives have been great company on all my lunch breaks. Our random conversations about young working life and entertainment has made good conversation throughout my stay. Pravin, my fellow intern, has been a nice guy to hang around. And even the staff I don't know here at Tangs have been very friendly and kind to me. Alot of the staff here have been here for ages and they often start a friendly conversation with me because they know I'm new here.

Funny. It's been what 3 weeks? But I'm starting to feel very comfortable here. I enjoy coming to work knowing that the people here will always be friendly and professional at the same time. I wish I had more time to work here with the people who I consider friends. As I think of my internship here at Tangs. I think I know what it is like to really enjoy your job. If one day I should be bored and unhappy with my job, I know that there will always be one place I know of that I will be happy to work at. One place where the magic happens in some office in some department store. I'll be sad to go, but I'll always feel like I've been part of the Tangs family. Till I meet my friends here again!
