My last 1 and 1/2 wks of internship has been moving at a very fast pace. It's not smthng one would realise on the job, but upon looking back, it's amazing how much grounds we've covered in such a short span of time. (actually maybe not THAT short, a typical day is from 8-7!)

Till date, we've done: country and industry analysis, all sorts of valuations for different types of companies, attended results briefing, and we've also attended interview with management so as to gain a better understanding of their company.

we're currently working on generating a full report on this particular company we've been assigned. it really is quite an exciting opportunity for us as our work will be eventually published as an analyst report.

next wk, i'll be sent to china to cover a soon-to-be-launched IPO in Sgp. It's not a big company of course, but it should provide some valuable learning experience. was reluctant to take it up intitally, cuz i feel unprepared for such an assignment at this early stage of the internship. (worse yet, i'll be the only one representing my company for the trip)

but since this would be my first time travelling alone, it is a good test to gauge my independence and corporate survival skills. Lets hope i can endure the cheena food (gosh, do i really have to eat those kinda food again....) and the bai jiu, if any is to be had at all (the cheena managers are reputed to be really HARDCORE drinkers).

hope to return (on my bday) with an interesting story to make a report. But for now, it's time to chew through some 200+ pages of prospectus... T_T

Have a great wkend all!
