Singapore Week 5 – James Hudson

This week we took a cooking class an hour away from our hotel. We made noodles with a spicy sauce which was really tasty. It was really cool learning how to cut different vegetables and cook them together. The whole process took roughly an hour and half but it was well worth it. My partner and I tried our food after and loved it so much we had to go back for seconds. On Thursday, the other interns and I were able to play golf with one of the founders of GreenFi. I was told told to stay away from […]

Singapore Week 4 – James Hudson

This week my friends and I played tennis at our hotel. None of us are insanely good so it’s really fun to play king of the court. It is also sunny and over 85 degrees out so we can’t play long. After playing tennis we jumped in the pool which was really refreshing. After swimming I unfortunately fell through a pool tile and had to get an ambulance to the nearest hospital. I had to stay over night and got surgery really late the next day. It definitely thwarted my plans to go to Bintan but I am grateful to […]

Singapore Week 3 – James Hudson

This week my friends and I went to a Hawker center called Newton. Newton is only one train stop away from our place, taking a grand total of 8 minutes to get to. Newton is one of the most popular hawker centers in all of Singapore because it was where they filmed a scene in Crazy Rich Asians. The food was really good but was definitely pricier due to its high status and popularity. I tried the Michelin rated chicken wings which were delicious as well the Michelin rated sweet and sour chicken which was also really good. This week […]

Singapore Week 2 – James Hudson

This week we had our second meeting in person after finishing off last week virtually. We met at the 1880 meeting space downtown and were given a project to complete for the next week virtually. After work, my friends and I went to our first hawker center, Maxwell. I was blown away by how much food you could get for $10 Singaporean dollars ≈ $7.00 USD. I got a side of 12 dumplings and a serving of fried rice with a chicken cutlet over it. The food was delicious and there were so many different stands serving different foods. After […]

Singapore Week 1 – James Hudson

First week in Singapore! We arrived in our new apartment and were blown away by how nice it was. There is a fountain in the lobby and goes all the way to the 26th floor. The hotel lobby offers free coffee in the morning and our room is one of the few rooms that have a balcony leading to my favourite morning routine of a coffee on the balcony in the morning. Sunday was St. Patricks day and my friends and I were able to find an Irish pub to spend the night. We all were skeptical of finding one […]

Singapore Week 3

Another day another dollar (joking we are unpaid). Work takes up most of the week, but luckily enough I work remote on Monday and Tuesday which gives me some time to relax and explore the city. Equity research is a fun job that allows me to learn more about various sectors. I believe this internship will be very useful for the rest of my life as I now have a better understanding on how to evaluate companies. All my friends are working different jobs with different schedules. A few of my friends work fully remote which they enjoy – except […]
