hah! Must have caught some controversial attention with titles like tat. But guess when it’s coming towards an end for another batch of intern, ppl do get emotional and words like this just comes out.
A brief intro: Interns are students that comes to the company for several months of practical (depending on the university but generally it ranges from 3-5 months). They are all kinds of ppl, would really like to have a posting on all the passed interns yet this time around, will focus on the 3 most recent ones from MMU (u know who u are).
Now, the cast:
From (left to right, strictly no order in preference)
David Down (DD) - That oh so charming smile..this picture showcases his naturality in posing for pictures, and he is tallest and longest of all..
Jingyi – Mistakenly called chinyee (in confusion with 1 of our client), she came charging after me right after i took this picture of hers! And I still am confused wat’s wrong with this snap..
Popoye – The ostrich shot, he is just so cute sometimes that u can resist wanna clutch his biceps and feel it..
Now to the point, 11 reasons to hate interns: (u’ll know if it’s u)
- We share everything we know to them, they ask we try to answer. Things in this company is as transparent as window shopping in the red light district of Armsterdam, u see them and u approach them if u interested. As long as they approach us and ask us, we will try to serve them well! And after they are done and satisfied, they leave, something like day-light prostitution but rather than paying, they get paid!
- They eat too much. It makes us wonder whether studying in university is like prison, and now with the company they overeat with 3 normal portion dishes in 1 meal, 2 burgers at once, 2 roti telurs together gether, and yes u got it, a whole mountain of mixed rice. Yet, they say they are skinny.
- They like to laugh at almost every chance. It’s a working place and sometimes serious things are treated as joke. They are unable to distinguish when to laugh or smile, we call this inappropriate office gestures.
- They bring in foreign language that don’t make much sense. “Down la like tat”, “Down lor”, “Ma de”, and the most popular “Fark You” - pronounced in a very professional way.
- Extention of #4, they influence our colleagues to come out with lousy local languages. “poh-tong poh-tong la”, “hai hao la”, “wu liao ar ni”
- They are so eager to learn that they just enjoy asking. Oh we really appreciate this kinda intern attitude, just as long as u don’t ask till we dunno how to answer and make us feel stupid, guess this applies more to myself!
- They write too much. Some of them abuse the given company email and indirectly spam us with great articles and information. This make us feel bad as sometimes we don’t show that much enthusiasm back to them.
- They pay for monthly parking pass while some of the permanent colleagues doesn’t. A straight forward sign to show that they have greater spending power than us.
- When u look at them, just for the sake of looking:
- 1 will make his eyes rounder and larger, with a closed up smiley lips and look back at u
- 1 will look at u and show u his darlie teeths and then look back at his monitor
- 1 will keep on bouncing the head upwards with the look of “wat, wat… wat???” eyes, until u give some more discrete response to her
- When u touch them:
- on the biceps and say “wah popoye orhh”, 1 will kecut and move away and say “OOIi!!” while giving a paiseh smile, knowing that he has the nicest biceps in the office. Not applicable if he is focus doing something serious, u can raba all u like.
- 1 will allow u touching his back and if lucky, shoulders. If u touch touch act naturally and dun look at him, he will just go on and allow it and give some grining smiling sounds. Sometimes this 1 is good and allows the ass spanking
- 1 more dunno how to touch
- and lastly…They are about to leave and this it the most hated thing about them!
any more to add on?
Sometimes a name can be just too different from what the actual things… slightly out of topic, let’s give the focus back to our three interns here. Nothing to say, just want to add few more things.
1. You can understand how frustrated the owner of this post… Let’s look at what happened on 1st of Jan this year. Jian (nothing to do with Gen2), spending about two years, from intern to the full-time, hoping that his birthday get celebrated’ by all of us. Yet, one of intern has his birthday gan gan during his intern period, and yummy cake was presented to him. Our poor manager, can only ask his mother why 1st of Jan, not 2nd… nothing to say.
2. They do things also very fast, sometimes we can not curi curi makan also, somemore don’t talk about the allowance. Getting only peanut, but work like really serious, even after their lecture visit.
3. I remember they had one session of HTML training and straight start work like no one business. We spent about 3 – 4 years to explore, they one day took everything. Jian is right, we can only expect if they show some meccy to come back and help us sometimes when their school days.
4. After this three intern, I heard there is three more coming. If you see the CV, then you can’t sleep already. The full A starts from Kindergarden to full-flat (we never got this far, that is why don’t know how to spell somemore) in Uni-level. I already got one big room reserved for her, what to do?
God bless us

In Cyberjaya, it’s like the Alcatraz Island. It’s isolated, spartan, boring, torturous, and worst of all, short of good food. I don’t understand how I managed to survive this long, though.
I am expecting to receive a payment of RM35 for displaying my dou san candid mugshot on-line. Pls bank-in to my account 8899776644J Bank Negeri Selangor. TQ.
One more things which haunted us a lot it, these interns can open so many windows simultaneously and able to keep track. Looks like MMU got this subject to teach students to do things super fast.
Did you mean IM windows? My record was chatting with 14 windows simultaneously in Hostel Room R5001 HB01, Cyberjaya.
You can imagine it’s like an air traffic control room, before you can punctuate a conversation, 3 other windows are popping for your attention.
Well, back then, there’s really no other source of entertainment in Alcatraz.
xiaolan – can’t agree more, these batch of intern has amazed us and cant be quite scary the things the do sometimes.
vid – cyber ppl with the typical cyber comment, good thing is u only have a few more months to go, unless u land a job in cyber itself..
yowchuan – how on earth did u get here?! my name finally got it’s way to google and u found it there?! man and 14 windows is a record.. those were the good old days..
LOL.
Yea the PC in the office has been tortured by me… Sometimes one Firefox browser not enough to display all tabs… So I open another Firefox browser and continue…
IT is so convenient. You only need to use the middle-button on the mouse to open the link in new tab. So this is perfect when using Google, but don’t want to leave the results page.
And oh.. I also think that the monitor size is not big enough to display all my Desktop icons………… heheh.
Why on earth my pic is up there? >.
jy, as a token of appreciation and to cherish 3 of u, on the chart of good performing interns.. Thanks for the pics ya~
Hor hor… Jian gonna get some ass-spanking action for illegally posting pics without permission :p
