Day 25: New Internship Project Assignment

🗓️ Date: 7 Oct 2025

📌 Title: Settlement Module Update & Clarification Meeting

Task Description

My supervisor assigned me a new project that will be my internship report project. He informed me that it is a UK project, and the meeting time is usually 5 PM Malaysia time (9 AM UK time), which may require overtime. He also mentioned that the project should take about two weeks. I am excited to finally work on my internship project.

Challenges & Solutions

A potential challenge is the meeting time, which may require working overtime. To manage this, I plan to organize my schedule and allocate time efficiently to handle both projects.

Key Learnings & Skills Gained

I learned the importance of time management when handling multiple projects and adjusting to different time zones.

Reflection & Next Steps

Day 25 was exciting because I finally received my main internship project. Moving forward, I will start planning and preparing for the UK project while continuing to support the back office tasks.

Day 1: Getting Started at iFAST!

🗓️ Date:   6 Oct 2025 📌 Title:  Getting started at iFAST! Task Description Today marked my first day of internship at the company. The day began with a newcomer briefing where I was introduced to the company, its structure, rules, and employee benefits by 3 HR staffs. Following that, I set up my Face ID for office access and went on an office tour to get familiar with the workspace. Before getting assigned to my desk, I was given a work laptop and asked to set it up, which included configuring my Outlook email, accessing the company intranet, and setting up iFast chat for communication. Additionally, I completed onboarding formalities such as checking emails, submitting required documents, and complete some mandatory quizzes like PDPA Training and  IT Security Awareness Onboarding Training.

🗓️  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. I was assigned to  prepare slides and present my updates , which was my  first time presenting during the internship . Although I felt nervous and uncertain at first, it turned out to be a valuable learning experience thanks to the constructive feedback I received from my supervisor and seniors. Challeng...

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...
