What I learnt today:

a) CitiBank pays their interns about $1000 a month. I hope they get worked to exhaustion learn a lot.

b) When in doubt of where your office tower is, do not head for first impressive tower you see when you exit from the train station. When you have my kind of luck, that tower is bound to be in the opposite direction you are supposed to head. And yes I was fully armed with a map. And no it wasn't my first time there and I didn't ask for directions. I wasn't lost- I detoured.

c) Smart Casual in most offices does not mean long sleeves. Long sleeves + hot weather + lunch = Sweaty Formal.

d) Lipton tea bags should not be steeped for more than 4 minutes in tiny plastic cups, unless you want your tea so strong that it'll make a dead man dance.

e) MRT trains are warzones at 6pm and there is no way SMRT is not turning a profit with that kind of commuter crowd. If they can't make a profit, then maybe they should let some other company run the trains, rather than whining about when the last fare hike was.

f) Blogging about how uneventful your first day was might just lead to a rude shock for the remaining of the internship.
