Day 2: Slowly but Surely!

 🗓️ Date: 7 Oct 2025

📌 Title: Slowly but surely!

Task Description

Today marked my second day of internship at the company. The day was relatively calmer compared to the first, allowing me to gradually settle into the working environment. I continued familiarising myself with the team, office workflow, and tools that are used on a daily basis.

Challenges & Solutions

One challenge was that I have no access to the office building yet as it requires some time to receive the code for mobile access registration. I checked with the HR and she confirmed that we will not be getting the email so soon, hence, new comers will need to register at the front desk for every entrance, even during lunch break. Even though it is quite troublesome and time consuming, but it is inevitable and will soon be resolved once we get the mobile access code. 

Key Learnings & Skills Gained

From today’s experience, I learned the importance of patience and time management in a corporate setting. Not all systems and access rights are immediately available, and adapting to temporary inconveniences is part of the onboarding process.

Reflection & Next Steps

Overall, Day 2 was a steady and meaningful continuation of my internship journey. While the access issue was slightly inconvenient, it taught me to stay flexible and plan ahead. Moving forward, I aim to make more progress on the Policy Cash Dropdown mobile screen conversion and refine my design approach based on mobile usability standards.

The day began with a newcomer briefing where I was introduced to the company, its structure, rules, and employee benefits by 3 HR staffs.

Day 6: Monday Chaos!

🗓️  Date:  13  Oct 2025 📌 Title:  Monday Chaos! Task Description In my second week of internship, I continued working on the  Fixed Deposit (FD)  and  Notice Deposit (ND)  UI enhancement project. My supervisor had provided several  comments and suggestions  based on last week’s progress, so my main task was to  review, refine, and amend the designs accordingly . The goal was to improve layout consistency, alignment, and overall visual clarity to ensure a more polished and user-friendly interface. During the week, our team also held a  weekly meeting  to update one another on current tasks and project timelines.

Day 41: Brainstorming and Braincracking

  🗓️  Date:  29 Nov  2025 📌 Title:  Brainstorming and Braincracking Task Description I started the day by discussing the recent Cash ISA meeting outcomes with another IT team member who was on leave, updating him on the latest requirement changes. Following that, I brainstormed together with him and my SV on the new flow for Cash ISA Transfer-In, now that partial transfers also need to be supported. Initially, I was expecting Joanna to send over the updated flow for this change, but since it hadn’t come through, we decided not to wait and risk delaying the project timeline. Instead, we proactively moved forward by coming up with a proposed new flow ourselves. Given the uncertainty, we chose to create a wireframe in FigJam rather than jumping straight into high-fidelity mockups, as we wanted to avoid double work if changes were still needed. We then scheduled a meeting with Joanna at 6 PM to walk her through the proposed flow first, before presenting anything t...
