In a surprising twist of events, I had obtained the internship of my dreams - a 10 weeks experience with Wilmar Internationall at Shanghai.

The internship was well rounded that covered departments ranging from HR, production, supply chain to sales and marketing. Although the experience at every department was short lived, it allowed me to discover where my true passion lies and how versatile the ITP program was. The degree allowed us to branch out into different specialisations within the trade industry. 

Besides working, this internship also gave me opportunities to explore a different country and culture. In today's globalised society, it is impossible for us not to interact with people from different cultures and races. I made many friends and mentors along this journey which I am sure would help me with my development in the future.
