Day 79: UAT = Spot the Difference game

🗓️ Date: 27 Jan 2026

📌 Title: UAT = Spot the Difference game

Task Description

I continued working on iFAST Pay UAT and identified additional UI-related issues. These included an incorrect colour theme being applied to the drawers in the Cards module, which should have been in light mode. I also noticed that the font used in the UAT version did not match the mockup. I informed my supervisor about these issues for further action.

Challenges & Solutions

There were no major challenges today. I made an effort to keep myself busy, as I dislike being idle and wasting time. Whenever I ran out of tasks, I worked on updating my daily logbook, which is what I am doing now.

Key Learnings & Skills Gained

I go through every screen and each clickable feature in the app to ensure that nothing is missed. Through this process, I learned how to conduct UAT in a more systematic manner.

First, I skim through the entire page to review the content, as it is usually correct and free from spelling or typographical errors. Next, I check the padding, alignment, and spacing, which are often easier to spot due to my attention to detail. Lastly, I review smaller or underlying features such as tooltips, pop-ups, icons, and animations.

Reflection & Next Steps

I realised that the process of creating a mockup and handing it over to the IT team for development is not the complete workflow. The work does not end there. It is equally important for the UI/UX designer to participate in the testing phase alongside the rest of the team.

Different people notice different issues because everyone has different perspectives, which is why having multiple testers is essential. Nonetheless, the designer understands the product design best, as it originates from them. Identifying mistakes, making refinements and improvements, and discussing findings with the team are all part of the journey of creating a well-designed and high-quality product.

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.

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...
