1314T2g1 South Korea/Participant Information/Teo Jie Ting/PreTrip
Today was the first day of the class! Everyone reached class promptly and occupied the whole of the right side of the SR - it was Agurz's idea hahahah. Everyone was talking away as most of us knew each other prior to class. Prof Ben came in after awhile and everyone settled down to go through our first lecture slides for TSM.
Prof Ben told us about the academic requirements for TSM, the course objectives and even gave us an interesting recap of the previous TSM trip to Korea! My, they looked like they've enjoyed and learned alot from the different company visits during the trip. During the class, Prof Ben also mentioned that we will be going to Japan too! Wow, that's 2 countries in a trip! How fun would it be! I'm pretty sure we will be able to learn even more from the companies located in both Korea and Japan due to the difference in culture!
After going through the lecture, we begin our trip discussion and planning - where to go for F&E, which companies to visit, etc. Everyone is divided into 2 per team and my partner was Jeremy! We were assigned to look for companies located in Japan and after some initial round of research, we settled for Wantedly and Brackets.
Everything was done and allocated pretty well and everyone had a rough idea of which companies they're going to approach by the end of the class.
Well, as we do not have TA for this module, everyone was allocated a role! My role is the Finance in-charge. This means I've to be very very very sensitive to the 1s and 0s! Luckily I've 2 really awesome helpers - Jeremy and Lee Jin! They're such a nice pair to work with, always soooo readily helping out in any way they could!
Oh, we also took individual photos and group photos for the new TSM Family! :) Here’s the picture that our photographer Glen did up for us!
I really can't wait to travel with this bunch of people. :D
