D*D*B in one day's time.
My 8 week stint as an apprentice at D*D*B is commercing soon. Urg, tomorrow to be exact. I am officially thrown into a minor panic attack for
1) Not reading up on my advertising stuff yet
2) Not knowing what to wear tomorrow
All the above was planned to be done during the two weeks break after my exams (and before my apprenticeship) but I somehow squandered them all and have gotten nothing done for THE big day.
Fortunately, point number two is made easier now that I have a tiny peek into culture of the company and also, what the first batch of interns has wore on the first day of work.
And how do I know that?
I am as surprised as you might be, to find out we have a apprentice main blog (seemingly) to track our progress and happenings.
The ultimate surprise came in when I realised all six interns have to blog and it is part of the judging criteria. Omg. You can probably foresee less entries here and more there. It is starting to remind me of Valarie’s Elite Models competition, where contestants have to blog too, but of course, we'll in for a very different experience.
At the very least, it is comforting to know (and hair-pulling stressful at the same time) that we as interns will not be subjected to unjust treatment of doing mundane jobs like licking stamps or buying coffee. In fact, as per the blog, we were told to: stop looking at yourself as an intern, but as part of the staff - you'll blend in better.
Erm, ok. I think they are dead serious.
Not that I am not. I am ready to go all out and immense myself in this alien experience. :)
Oh and you may be interested to know that the dark-skinned Holland V girl aka the project superstar girl, Lai Li Jun is one of the three interns from NUS who is going to start work tomorrow.

Errr, I happened to type in "DDB Apprentice" in Google and found your personal blog. You might want to edit your entry so it doesn't pop out as the first thing when people search for "DDB Apprentice" - I mean, if you're concerned about your privacy in your real life. If you don't mind, then hang it.
And have fun with your internship.
Hi there,
Yeah. I actually realised. But couldn't really bothered since I haven't blog anything bad about D*D*B yet.
But you are right. I should be more concern. Thanks so much. :)
