Last Post of the Last week

Time flies, and now my internship have come to an end. The project, HoloTouch will now be passed to the hands of professors and research officers, who will bring it into the next stage and into the future. As I sit in my workplace for the last time today, I begin to recall all the moments since the start of the internship. There were so many memories, so many great moments to cherish. My workplace have now become so beautiful, so inspirational to me, never before was it so.


I will never forgot Mr.Kevin, Mr.Ming Hong,Dr.Cheong, Mr.Yeo, Dr.Calvin and other collegaues in the DMV team, and will definitely come back to visit this place in the future. Hopefully by the time I am out of National Service,HoloTouch would be the next big thing in IHPC, like what LightDraw did.

 Well, my time serving IHPC is now over, and its now time for the next batch of students to continue the work that has been done, and I am confident of them.

 Before ending this last post, I would wish to say thank you to all of you who guided us, provided advice and worked with us throughout this HoloTouch project. It was a memorable experience for me which I shall never forget. Thank You!


==================Reflection======================

Since this is my last reflection I will write on, I will write it based on the entire internship experience.
This internship experience has taught me on many different things.

One of these important ones is communication skills. Although we all learned communication skills in the workplace during Polytechnic education, it is a totally different thing to apply it to the workplace. Throughout my internship, I have learned and seen the impact of good and bad communication, and they can really make a difference in how people see you as. Small mistakes in communication can easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings, affecting important relations with other people.

Another of these important ones is something called Dynamics. Dynamics is one's ability to bring the best out of himself at all times, and it has a strong relationship to the quality of the work we produce. The more dynamic we are, the more we can complete a task faster with better quality in a given environment. Dynamics can be enforced with a number of things. In my case, I list out 20 things on why I should be giving my best for this project, and 20 things on the bad things that would happen if I do not. Everytime I am feeling lazy and demotivated, one look at that brings me back to my feet, allowing me to finish my tasks faster.

I have also learned that it is crucial to learn at least the basics of all technologies that we can touch our hands on, for we will never know in the job that we get, what kind of technology will it be requiring from us.

This internship have truly given me a glance of what to expect and how to prepare for a long term work in the software development sector, and how to maintain positive relations and stay away from office politics. I now feel much more prepared for the working world.

In summary, this internship programme at IHPC has been a great one, and I definitely hope there will be more of such great internship provided for students.
