Batu Caves and Botanical Gardens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday 23 June (our first free day since we got to Malaysia), we all woke up at around 10.30 am as we were still extremely tired from the previous day visits. All 14 of us decided to head to the Batu Caves, which are a series of caves and caves temples located in the northern outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. We really enjoyed the majesty of the Murugan statue at the entrance, which is followed by colourful steps that took us to the caves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Subsequently, the group split and a few of us decided to head towards central Kuala Lumpur to visit the botanical gardens, as the weather suddenly became sunnier. After a long walk in the immense garden, we travelled to the KL Tower. From its observation deck, which stands at 276 metres, we could see the whole city. We enjoyed the sunset and took many pictures before returning to our accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internship week 2: Project work begins<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday 24 June, our work became more intense.\nUp until now we have been learning from various members of different\ndepartments how TIME works, what they do and how teams deal with challenges.\nFrom this week our work will be more specific as we start to work on some\nreal-life cases, guided by experienced TIME employees. Today we met with Jimmy,\nthe Head of Coverage at TIME, who is regarded as \u2018the money man\u2019. One of his\nduties is to planning, design and implementation of TIME\u2019s existing network of\ncables. This part of the business is extremely crucial. Jimmy briefly explained\nto us how TIME\u2019s cabling works and then defined our tasks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expanding TIME\u2019s cable networks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were divided into groups and our\nmain task was to analyse possible future expansions of the existing network\ninto areas not yet serviced by TIME\u2019s cables. My team was given a particular\nnetwork area. We had to gather as much information as possible about the\nbuildings in our assigned area. It was not always easy, due to missing information,\nso we had to research and \u2018dig deeper\u2019 to plug the information gaps. Eventually\nwe put together a list of possible buildings where TIME could possibly expand\nits coverage and presented this to Jimmy. What excites me is that in the\nfollowing days we will continue working on these projects. More importantly,\nsome of our projects may be selected for presentation to the TIME management\nteam for approval to turn into business reality! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our learning so far is enormous. As\nan International Business student, I particularly enjoyed the planning part of\nthe project. We analysed the profitability of these buildings, and recommended\naction only overall outcome of the project seems to be beneficial and relevant\nto TIME.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
