Day 51: I love being busy, truly.

 🗓️ Date: 15 Dec 2025

📌 Title: I love being busy, truly.

Task Description

Day 51 was a mix of exploring new campaign requirements, managing UI decisions, and preparing for an important presentation.

Golden Ticket Campaign
I spent time reviewing the requirements for the new Golden Ticket campaign, which is a referral rewards program. The key concept is that both the referrer and referee receive 1.5% cashback for one month, once the referee successfully opens an account.

Cash ISA Project
For Cash ISA, the IT team raised a UI question:
If the transfer-in process is rejected, should we show the specific reason for rejection? They suggested it may be better to show a generic message instead, because the rejection reasons are dynamic and would require more effort to handle accurately. I was asked to propose this option to the Business User for approval.

MY Stock IPO Project
My SV reminded me about the MY IPO project meeting tomorrow, where I have to present the mockup. I still couldn’t fully grasp the IPO concept yet, so he took time to brief me and help me understand the core idea and logic better. This improved my confidence in presenting and answering potential questions.

Challenges & Solutions

The main challenge was understanding IPO mechanics well enough to present confidently. To address this, I relied on my SV’s guidance and clarified the flow and logic in detail. For the Cash ISA rejection messaging, the challenge is balancing user clarity with development effort, so proposing a generic message is a practical solution to discuss with BU.

Key Learnings & Skills Gained

I gained better understanding of how referral reward campaigns work and the key design considerations behind them. I also learned how to approach UI decisions that involve dynamic system behaviour, and how to prepare for stakeholder presentations by deepening domain knowledge.

Reflection & Next Steps

Day 51 was a preparatory day that helped set the stage for tomorrow’s IPO presentation. Next steps include finalizing the IPO mockup, anticipating questions, and proposing the Cash ISA rejection message approach to the BU.

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.

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. 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...
