Greetings to all....its been ages since I last wrote...Tomorrow will be the last day of my internship!!!!Honestly,time flies....
hmmm...How can I describe my
internship experience??....
Within the first two days of the internship, few of my friends updated in their facebook that it was all great and awesome and blah2.
It irked me so much!!..because it took time for me to get used to my work and enjoy it.
The first few weeks I was dragging my feet to go to work,maybe because I got used to sleeping,eating and doing nothing during my 3 weeks holiday.
But after a while I actually started to enjoy it!!
Lets make it brief...If I was asked to list down things that I rate and grate during my internship..here would it be....
RATE
Dealing with children
Wwhen I first went there,the children were wild and uncontrollable ; the don't listen to me,some throw stuff at me if i asked them to do tasks,few imitates my action behind my back.Sometimes I really feel like crying out loud but I cant blame them,coming from violent and troubled background I tried to understand their pain and frustration.Most of them had witnessed cruel abuse by their father and some even had experienced it.
But,as time passed and I got closer to them day by day..they all started to maybe trust me...If u asked me now,I would say they all are sweet,amazing and thought full children that I got the opportunity to meet in my life.Most of them can recall vividly abuse (even of sexual nature) that happened to them and their mothers.It broke my heart,but let me tel you,these children are tiger kids.They are all bright and fast learners and I am sure they can forget all those violence and come up in their life :-)
I even got two marriage proposal. A 7 and 10 year old boys,one said to me..
MF : Can you marry me..so you no need to go away and can always be with me...
I was so touched.I don't think I can get more sweeter marriage proposal ever in my life!!
INTERNS
Another part I liked bout my internship is getting to know interns and volunteers from different part of the world.I got to know people from Germany,France,Hungary,Norway and so on.It was so great coz I found out bout cultures and life style of people from different part of the world.It quipped my interest to travel around the globe someday..(Hopefully I will)
J : You never freeze in the snow before?
Me : err...no....J : you have to do that one day.It is great experience
Me : (smiling) I will!!
EXPERIENCE
It is sometime a great experience to know people of different background from mine,but some were rather shocking to me,especially the time I saw a woman came in with a bruises and black eyes! No exaggeration here...That was the first time I saw someone who really got punched in the face!Too imagine someone one that you loved and thinks loves you too could do such horrific things to you...must be devastating.And of course those filthy rich ones who's topic of discussion were always exotic places they visited,all the latest gadget they own and I thought people like them only belong in novels and magazines.
I even got the chance to go to Syariah Court and the High Court.Quite funny actually,wearing a 'tudung' with bindhi on my forehead.
GRATE
Transportation
Since,I had to come back on my own after my work is over so public transportation was my only option.Some days it isn't so bad,sitting inside air conditioned LRT or Bus and letting your mind wander,but some other day when I was tired both emotionally and psychically all I wanted was to go back ASAP and lie down NOT spent 1 hour and half in public transportation.hmmppp
And of course KL traffic jam.I hate it so so much!At times I had to use all my willpower not to get down the bus and run screaming obscenities while puling my own hair.HONEST!!again no exaggeration here.I never experienced such mind numbing jam in good ol Ipoh.
No to mention the fact that i wasn't paid.The food prices in PJ is damn so expensive,almost enuf to gimme me a heart failure.But one of my friend from German said this :-
G : Food here are so cheap..
Me : Really?(look of surprise)
G : Yeah..yesterday I went to a Indian restaurant and ate using banana leaf and they only
charged me RM 12!!
Me : WAT..are u serious..cheap??
G : err yeah...its about 4 euros...I only spent about 20 euros for my lunch back home.
So i think that's it,to summarize my internship experience.Somehow I feel like I had matured a lot these 3 months.I realized that my perspective on marriage is totally changed.....
Give me few days to upload all those photo's okay....
Cheerz...
