Day 33: FTD & ND Web Approval & New Module Request

 🗓️ Date: 19 Nov 2025

📌 Title: FTD & ND Web Approval & New Module Request

Task Description

Today was my thirty-third day of internship. I received a message from the person who requested the FTD & ND revamp, informing me that the web version was shown to the big boss (Business User) and got approved. However, there are slight content changes, so I am currently waiting for her to send the updated details. 

At 3 PM, I attended a meeting with the Operations team to go through the account module back office.

Another IT team member also contacted me about a new module to be added, called the Public Holiday module, and provided a brief outline of the requirements. There are also more amendments needed for the Settlement module, which I will work on tomorrow. Overall, I felt quite busy and a little overwhelmed with the workload.

Challenges & Solutions

A challenge today was managing multiple incoming tasks and updates from different teams. To handle this, I tried to keep track of priorities and make notes of each new requirement so I can address them in an organized way.

Key Learnings & Skills Gained

I learned that project work can suddenly expand with new requests and that staying organized is essential to handle multiple tasks effectively. I also gained experience in coordinating with different teams and stakeholders.

Reflection & Next Steps

Day 33 showed me the importance of time management and prioritization when workload increases. Moving forward, I will focus on completing the Settlement module amendments and start planning the Public Holiday module once the requirements are clearer.

🗓️ 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.

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...
