End of Training, Beginning of Studies Again

Finally the long waited 11 weeks of training is over. But towards the last week, I wish it could be more than just 11 weeks. I'm beginning to start enjoying my training but yet it has come to an end. I've really learned quite a lot from this not very big company. With the guidance of my supervisor, a man with few words but i've learned lots from him. Everyone in this company is quite friendly and nice. Even the once very serious, cold blooded looking manager, always seems to be busy and occupied wasn't as bad as it seems. Only towards the last week we manage to interact a with him by presenting to him what we've been doing for the past few weeks. Serious discussion, and questions & answers, was a little scary at first though. But it all went well.

During my training in the company, i'd been interacting with several workers which includes some operators and machinist, most of them were very nice people though. I've also learned quite a handful from these people, their jobs may look simple and but being in their position myself has given me a different view of their job.

Getting dirty is unavoidable in this company. I smelled like grease and coolant everyday after work. But i kinda start missing the smell of it. However 11weeks is really short, but that's the time i have in the company. I really enjoyed my training period in the company, although there are some boring times but on the overall was enjoyable. It wasn't as scary as i thought in the first place. Hehe.

What's over is over. I need to start to adapt to yet another new campus life, My final year. I hope everything would be great though i'm already starting to worry about lots of stuff.

• Shifting - done ( tiring )
  
• Course - Registered ( online )
• FYP Title - Still reviewing ( have my choice of title in mind )

I just hope everything goes smoothly as usual for my final year.

It has Begun...

Today was the first day of me stepping into Dufu, where I'll be spending my 2 months holiday.
Woke up about 645 today, quickly got myself prepared for a long day. By 7.45am Ryan n I reached the company. It's very normal being early on the first day. Hehe. But I think even for the following days we still need to be early, as we need to scan our fingerprint for attendance every morning. 8am to 6pm daily, five days week, luckily.

We met 2 more coursemates there but they'll be working in another dept. We were given briefing and a little orientation by Mr Khairul, one of the HR officer about everything we need to know, from the company's background to rules and regulations to be followed. We were given a ear plug, to protect our ears as we'll be working in noisy environment.

Next we met our Supervisor, FT Tan, a very nice guy indeed. Briefed us on our work schedule and brought us around the plant. We'll be attached to the autolathes dept. We were given our first task to sort out some products and to separate those rejected. Really strained my eyes on that. Luckily it wasn't that much. Then we learn a little of doing more inspections, checking dimensions, micrometer, drop gauge and profiling.

Lunch time was long waited. Took our lunch in the canteen, luckily not too pricey. Took a little break before heading back to work. After lunch was lots of readings. Manuals after manuals. We read on how to use a CNC lathe. And more on the programming part using G-codes. It was really hard struggling through that. Really got us sleepy. Trying hard to keep awake. -_-
After a long day, time to go back was the best time of all. Hehe. Here I am now enjoying a little rest at home. But there's still report to do. Maybe just postpone it first.

...the end and the beginning..

Just when i thought i could put down everything and have a nice holiday after my hectic semester and exams, I found out that i've new worries and things to attend to. The major one was definitely Industrial Training. Well, time flies when i still remember during first year when we went to the IT exhibition by those seniors back then, now I'll be the one in their position and would be the one presenting it to fellow juniors in the next semester. Everyone got dispersed mostly back to their hometown as the could have more time at home and can save a little more. I have no idea how i ended up in Penang, but it okay for me. At least i have some friends around and also Agnes. As for her she'd be starting work soon in Penang too. ^_^

Well, back to my industrial training. I have a colleague at least, Ryan. Hehe. At least i need not be alone. We'll be working in Industries Sdn Bhd. I don't really know what it does actually, something like precision machining. But definitely nothing related to making tofu, yong tau foo or anything close. Anyway, some seniors was saying that we'd be working like technicians. In my mind I was thinking er.. ok i guess that sounds reasonable, what else do you expect to do, sitting around like a boss? at least it's better than serving coffee and photostating documents. Well i better not say anymore. It's sort of like a curse, the more you think will not happen will actually happen. Hehe. I wouldn't mind though for the part being the boss.

my soon to be training company

To all my fellow friends out there having their training too, good luck and all the best, Enjoy your training and learn as much as you can.
