Tips on how to be a welcomed intern.

Being freshly graduated or just in final year is not an excuse for an intern to be slack or being too dependent on seniors. After years of exposure to knowledge in University, those preparation should be equipped a newbie to be useful for 40 per cent in any organisation. It would be unfortunate for everyone if the intern does not score well or being serious in his or study as the seniors end up in teaching from the VERY basic or precisely babysitting them while there are already tonne of work. Internship is supposed to be beneficial for both interns in terms of gaining experience and staff is to share load.

Sabah ice cream that won international award

Had a chance to taste the ice cream with goji berry flavor.  Its cover is plastic, and the cup of about 100cc is made of paper. Looked around but there is no Halal logo, nor the calories amount. Surprise, it is in orange color. Sweetness is 6.5/ 10.  And it is really creamy... Have no idea how much it is priced.

Being sceptical on outside food will always have MSG, but chef at Wisma Kinsabina is so considerate. The smiley potatoes are baked and only sprinkled with minimal salt. While the paste for pasta has concentrated tomatoes purees. That dragon ball is minced and soft.  However, that bread stick was too sweet for me. thus, excluded it for good review. Price is RM14 per plate. (I shared with baby).  I am a sweet tooth person, thus going for Pavlova as I never tried it before although heard its goodness many times from everyone. This is how it looks like... Rm14 for a pavlova stuck with a set of macaroon accompanied with
