Internship: good or bad?

Internship: good or bad? You decide for yourself. All I know is that I'm doing a hell lot of stuff I never found I am inclined to do, such as learning how to work PHP, create a LAMP server framework, work with 3D printing technologies and optimise the PCs needed to run Instron material mechanical testing machines.

Basically I found that I love tackling with problems no one else would normally be interested in - at the cost of learning the skills what most people would be eyeing on to snag a good paying job with.

What to do? I'm just an engineer who doesn't know how to apply what I have to carve out a living for myself. All that has to change, one of these days.

Internship - and a much needed break

Things have been going pretty much smoothly for now, apart from a few hiccups, is what I'd like to say to others. Unfortunately life isn't always that simple.

Call it taking up too many commitments, if you will. Martial Arts Day NUS (MADNUS) 2015 isn't as smooth sailing as last year's, that's for sure. Add this onto instructional video series for my internship work and you have hell of a whack job coming your way if you don't do this juggling right.

Lately I've been working till 3-4am for my work and having to turn up on Saturday and Sunday as well. I needed the break, so there. I went to get 2 days of MC. Hopefully I'll get back more motivation to carry on after my much needed break when I report back to work tomorrow.
