We spent a few hours discussing our time with the company and in the country, complemented by the occasional interjection of Afzal anecdotes which never fail to entertain. Everyone on the programme contributed to the feedback whilst Mizi and Afzal considered what could be done to develop the experiences we shared. Being only the second iteration of the internship, flexibility and refinement ensure that every year is more impactful than the last. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Once we\u2019d said our farewells, we made our way to the Sussex\noffer-holder and alumni-networking event. We enjoyed a buffet whilst meeting\nprospective and past students from the Klang Valley region, which encapsulates\nKL. It was great to hear how things have changed for Sussex from the alumni and\nthey were just as happy to help dispel some anxieties which the offer holders\nbrought with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/files\/2019\/07\/Blog-11.1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"462\" data-link=\"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/?attachment_id=462\" class=\"wp-image-462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/files\/2019\/07\/Blog-11.1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/files\/2019\/07\/Blog-11.1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/files\/2019\/07\/Blog-11.1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/files\/2019\/07\/Blog-11.1-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/files\/2019\/07\/Blog-11.1-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/files\/2019\/07\/Blog-11.1-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/files\/2019\/07\/Blog-11.1-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/files\/2019\/07\/Blog-11.1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/files\/2019\/07\/Blog-11.1-900x675.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Packing my bags and clearing my room I realise how homely and\ncomfortable I have felt during the placement, despite being thousands of miles\nfrom home. All that remains is for one last session with Mizi and Ezrin to\nofficially complete the programme. Certificates awarded and pictures taken, we\nhead out for lunch, second nature by this point and definitely makes a return\nto pre-made packed lunches difficult to imagine. Showing the selfless generosity\nwhich reflects the welcoming attitude afforded by all those we encountered at\nTIME, Mizi accompanies and introduces us to a restaurant with speciality fried\n\u2018Laksa\u2019, rice noodles with an unusual minty element. Once our last taste of\nMalaysia was finished, we collected our cases and those of us flying back to\nGatwick made our way to the airport, a 30-minute trip with little traffic.\nLifting into the air, I realise how much I have learned and how much ground was\ncovered in the time since we last flew.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By William Hagon, BEng Mechanical Engineering Four weeks in Malaysia have passed, taking with them any doubts over the best way to spend a month of the summer.&nbsp; Our final Thursday marked our last afternoon at TIME and meeting with<span class=\"ellipsis\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/2019\/07\/25\/student-internship-at-time-kuala-lumpur-blog-11-time-to-say-goodbye\/\">Read more &#8250;<\/a><\/div>\n<p><!-- end of .read-more --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":306,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false},"categories":[169783,94179],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/parRhU-7q","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/306"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=460"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":464,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460\/revisions\/464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/business-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
