Life is Pretty Awesome Today

It's been an interesting 370 days since my last post. I'm now in my last few weeks of internship, i'm doing an internship with Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific. It's the kind of thing where you wake up at 7AM, be grumpy because it's 7AM, but then count your blessings and realize how lucky you are on the way to work. That is, unless the commute is particularly rude that morning.


It's been really fun so far. The team is great fun to work with, and while the workload can get heavy, it's very varied, so I seldom find myself bored, and everything I do feels important, and that's really important for an intern - the worst thing would be to feel completely useless; cheap labor. That can get really demoralizing.

I've had the opportunity to produce UpNexts for DTL. Those are 15 second spots that go something like this:

And now, these contestants face the heat,

For a shot at owning their very own restaurant.

Marco Pierre White's Chopping Block... Next.

It's really fun. Haha. I've also had the opportunity to meet Ian Wright, Olly Steeds, and even Bobby Chinn.

So that's what I've been doing for the past few months. That's not all though, but the rest, I'll leave for later posts. Look forward to more posts about my culinary adventures... and misadventures. Hopefully more of the former, though the latter may be pretty entertaining.

Oh! Whoever can guess the inspiration for the post title gets a cookie!
