It is already the 8th week!

Today is a public holiday plus my internet connection is in such a good speed so I decided to update my nearly-gone-dead bloggie =)

Life has been great so far, my training is progressing well and I really enjoyed my days over there. I shall miss my colleagues when I leave for uni again. Part of me wants to stay back and continue training, but part of me wants to end this training earlier because I am lazy haha. Plus, I am still not done with my daily report =(

Like most of my friends, I am entering the 9th week of my training. In these 9 weeks, not only I worked from Monday to Friday, nearly every weekend I spent my time with my uni friends. Just realised that in this semester break I went to so many places. Malacca, Alor Setar, and many places in Penang which I will not go. Plus, I actually joined Penang Bridge International Marathon and finished the 10km run =) Totally love this sem break!

Just last weekend, I followed some of my colleagues (they are all from Shyuan's department) to a photo shooting session. Haha Shyuan and I thought we could learn some skills from them as they have been playing with cameras for some time, so we decided to accept their invitation =)

Last weekend an event named "Pillow Fight" was held in Penang Times Square. Heard that they wanted to create a record of being the largest pillow fight ever held in the world with an estimated of 4000 participants. But what I saw on that day was like maybe 200 participants, or maybe less? Anyway that was non of my business as we just went for photo shooting.

Now, let me introduce the "photo shooting crew" to all of you!!!

Tang tang tang tang!!!!



These pictures were taken when the main actors and actresses were really concentrating in capturing the best angle so everyone was in "natural state". And by the way, "Ceceilia" is Shyuan's new name, given by my classmates =)

There were only 3 DSLRs though there were 5 of us. So we took turns to be cameramen/cameragirls and models. So some pictures look nice and professional yet some look lousy. Haha, I really still need to improve a lot.

I used to have the passion in capturing breathtaking sceneries or still buildings, but after that day, I noticed that I was influenced by them and has started to develop another passion, which is to capture human's priceless expressions.

After spending the entire morning at the event area outside Times Square, we went to Little Cottage for lunch before proceeding to Bagan. I hope that I will be able to improve more haha.

Now let me show you some of my daily life photos in ACT.

Inside my office (PSD), though that is my colleague's working place:



Celebrated my 21st and Shyuan's supervisor's 40th birthday in SOHO, AutoCity. The first lunch I had with so many engineers.



And we were invited to ACT Annual Dinner though we are just trainees. Grabbed the chance to take pictures with seniors, but missed the chance to take picture with our MD. Sigh.



They are all so nice, friendly and crazy so both me and Shyuan have no problems in adapting ourselves. My seniors are always willing to give me advices about my future, explaining in detail about things that I do not understand and are always so happy to teach me new things.

I hope that for the remaining weeks, I can fully utilize my time and learn more things.


"要懂得争取，training是最好的时候让你学习。"
"You must know how to request and grab your chance to learn."


That was what my colleague told me. I hope I can do that.

Finally, it is my turn!

Hi people! Haha I know it has been such long time ever since the last post. Hmm was busy with finals, then went Malacca with friends.

Then finally, it is my turn for industrial training. I cannot believe that I am actually a Year 3 Engineering student already! Too bad my knowledge is like Year 1 or 2. Gotta buck up more haha. Currently I am working in Advanced Ceramics Technology under Crest Ultrasonics, just opposite Auto City.

So wondering how's my first few days of internship? Haha I am not that lucky, currently still checking stock =_= I do not have my own working place nor a computer to use. So I cannot be like the rest who can MSN here and Facebook there. All I did was to check the condition of stock (something like quality control).

Anyway I heard lots of interesting stories from my coursemates regarding their internship. The VERY MOST interesting story was Kok Yik's. He was sent by his company to Pantai Hospital to do some maintenance like air conditioner maintenance etc. You know what he saw? He saw the camera which shows the process of doctor doing operation on patient, cut here and there. Then the coolest part was he got to go into "bilik mayat"!!! Haha he said it was not fun at all and I think if I were him I would be scared to death but... that experience must be so thrilling and memorable!!!

Then those who went Sony for intern I heard that the company uses fingerprints verification for entry permit. Wow, really high tech right? But their uniform and shoes a abit... FUNNY haha. Thank god I can wear casual everyday!!!! Wohoo~!

There was another person who was really daring. He actually fall asleep for 1 hour inside the same room as his supervisor!!! And the weirdest part was his supervisor didn't even wake him up or scold him. Really.. speechless.

Some were less fortunate during their 1st day. Not only the air conditioner in their company was out of order, they had nothing to do at all. The weather was hot like hell and all they did was surfing the net and playing games.

So am I counted lucky? Haha personally I have no comments. Do you have any interesting stories about your internship? Do share if you have!

By the way, thanks my dear friends who have helped me to celebrate my birthday in advance!! Thanks for the surprise birthday for me and Zhi Ling, I am really happy ^^ That was my 1st 21st birthday celebration! Then my dear babes, thanks for your time. The cake was awesome too!! Miss you all~~

Guess I gotta go to bed early. My daily routine will be: wake up at 6am, go out at 6.45am, start work at 7.30pm, finish work at 5pm and reach home approximately at 5.30pm (if it is not raining and leave company punctually).

Happy internship and adios~!

A Quick Update

Friends been nagging me to update my blog. Haha yeah sorry peeps I'm just too lazy to blog nowadays. I mean, my daily routine is the same everyday - working n sleeping. It's just that there's nothing special for me to blog. Anyway, promised Chin Hong I will do it today, so I'm here to start blogging again. Thanks to him!=)

This semester break is indeed a memorable one. Well, it's pretty boring for me to work everyday (except when I was on MC for 9 days n went China for vacation for 1 week) but in my working experience, I learnt a lot. For this 3 months break, I've worked 3 different jobs, 2 related to engineering field, 1 related to sales n persuasion.

1 Oct - 15 Nov = Working in Tejari (Juru) as a trainee. Learnt Solid Works n G code.
20 Nov - 15 Dec = Working in IDT (opposite AMD) as trainee. Learnt to repair machines.
7 Dec - 9 Dec = Working in KL PC Fair (Acer booth). Learnt to persuade customers .

I stopped working in Tejari because of the pay n the distance. Then I applied for IDT but my salary was worse, only RM250 per month. Well, forget about it hehe since I learnt alot here compare to Tejari. In IDT, I learnt to repair machines, learnt how do the machines function etc.

Anyway, among the 3 jobs, I enjoyed working in PC fair the most! Haha I know you all will say I'm crazy but seriously, I loved it because I made many friends regardless of whether I hit the target of sales or not. The feeling was like I went for a 3-day camp. Everyone tried their best to sell as many notebooks n PC's in order to hit target, but at the end of the day, eventhough we know we couldnt hit the target, we were all still happy. We were all divided into 15 groups - 4 part-timers n 1 permanent staff. My group leader was William while my groupmates were Ah Hau (MMU), Kazaf(Tarc), Charles(Tarc) n ME(UTAR). I love my group, but too bad Charles was sick n went home on the last day. Anyway... all part-timers, I'm sure you all remember Abby(the prettiest part-timer). She proposed that for those who didn't hit target, we can also organise a gathering on 30th Dec since those hitting target will have their own party. So i hope this works well!!

Btw, just knew Pei Kee and Ah Loon together for 5 months d. CONGRATS!!! Then now it comes to Joshua (a newly-made friend who was my PC fair customer).... if u happen to meet me online, please show me your gf's pic k? Hehe.. I can imagine how pretty is she d.. all the best too!!!

p/s: 1. Chin Hong, let me know the answer asap k?
2. Didi.... faster let me know when are u free ya if not no more chao chao.
3. To my housemates.... I'm going back on 21st Dec!

After 4 Months

Finally I'm back to blogging! Well, don't blame me please!!!! It's not my fault, but it's Telekom's fault. We applied for telephone line since I started my first semester in FES. But but but.. after waited and waited, they're still not here when I've actually completed my first sem!

Back in Penang is good...at least I get to eat good food and most importantly, I DON'T have to spend so much of food!! Haha... I looked into my account book and realized that wow.. I actually spent so little! YES! Haha... then I would have money to go to Singapore with my friends this year end (if they are still keen on going).

But the sad part is - I have to work from Monday to Friday from 9am-530pm. Even Saturday I'm working half day from 9am to 1pm :( Well, I'm actually tired because I'm working in Perai (or they call Juru).. Imagine, everyday I have to pass by Penang Bridge and get stuck in the jam.. LOLZ.. I would say Friday is the worst day.. stuck in jam for 2 hrs! :( However, I'm still happy working there as a trainee. Currently I'm learning SolidWorks - a high end CAD software which is best used esp for 3D drawing. Btw, now only I know that AutoCAD is OUTDATED!!! Haha.. but still usable for 2D drawing.

Went to Lam Wah Yee hospital this morning.. that's why I'm not working right now because I'm on MC. Well.. later in the afternoon I'm going back there to get admitted in order to do the MRI scan (what the hell is MRI? Later I must ask the doctor) No worries... should be nth serious, which I hope so :) Guess there's sth wrong with my nerve which is connected to my back (that's when Biology knowledge is applied) Well well... Hope that my stupid left leg won't affect my vacation in China in the end of this month. If not... haih... I will sulk all my way there and back!

Till here... well, an exciting and enjoyable weekend is waiting for ahead! The raya holiday is actually located for my BIRTHDAY!!! Haha.. I know.. you all will say, "Har? I didn't hear anything... 我什么都没听到！！！" :) Take care my friends... and I miss all of you in KL!!!! Enjoy your 3 months break!
