This week is sort of a not so good. When I was at my work place, some of the Indons and Malays seem to enjoy teasing me. At my department, there’s a few production line. When I walked past certain lines, I’ve been whistled by the gurls. I was like wtf?? Often I just choose to ignore it. When I go to my friend’s department, the same thing happened. It made me felt kinda vulnerable. Sometimes I just avoid going into some of the area, not to say that I’ll get rape by the gurls there, rather I feel annoyed at times.
There’s a lot of times where people was asking for my hp no. I’m not too sure what was I thinking the other day when I actually gave my number and immediately that night I received a call from some fella…. It was really crappy. Since then I learned my lesson but it’s quite tough having to give excuses when people were asking for you no. or mabbe I’m just horrible at telling lies unless it’s white lies =P I’ve even been asked whether I would mind going out with a Malay gurl. Again I was like wtf?? No offence to Malay gurls but rather it’s just the person who asked me that question. Anyway I thought about this long before. There used to be Malay chick I got to knew. But after thinking bout it, I guess I love ‘bak kut teh’ too much and it’s not worth it to convert. Damn, seriously I really think I can open a Indon fan club at my working place d.
After going into week 5 working, I think I’m getting used to things. I don’t seem to whine anymore. Yet I feel more like a whore. There are a few engineers who can assign tasks to me if they feel they need me. I can’t refuse when they need me. All I have to do is just complete the task. Sometimes the task given is good while some are not so good. If the task that I do satisfies them, they’ll look for me again the next time. But I do prefer having something to do rather than nothing to do else time would past very slowly. There was once when I was given multiple task by several different people. So, right after I finished one task, I have to proceed with the next person’s task. Don’t u think i’m sucha whore?

Monday, November 20, 2006
Another week of working days begins. This week should feel slightly shorter I hope since I’ve eliminated the Monday blues thingy. I took a day off…. Muahahaha. I did not have any reasons to take this day off but rather I juz took it for fun. At least I get to catch Spurs’s match yesterday midnight. Since working life started, my sleeping time changed rapidly. The other day I actually went to bed at 9pm, damn I can’t remember if there’s any day that I slept so darn early in my life. On average lately, I think my sleeping time is more a less 10pm. Even during weekends, at around 10pm I tend to doze off. My biological clock has been corrupted and it’s been set at 6pm. Even during weekends I tend to be awake at that time, but of course I continue sleeping till 8am which is sufficient I think.
Anyway, talk bout’ Spur’s match yesterday was damn disappointing. I think there’s something wrong with the new Brown jersey which they wore. It sort of brings bad luck to the team. Yet to win away from home this season and they look far from breaking the away form duck. Although the jersey looks great but this season has been pretty much disastrous. Damn…I miss the dumb Thomson jersey with the stupid smiley face. The jersey is so damn ugly but last season, most of the time they performed well wearing it. I certainly wouldn’t mind them wearing it, if it can improve the team’s luck.
Had a pretty much quiet weekend…My cousin just gave birth to her first child, so I went to visit her; glad that’s she’s fine. I was offered to carry the baby but of course my reply was immediate “NOoooOOOO”. Next month should be my sis’s turn. My bro in law and her looks to be preparing well and I think she’s getting nervous bout’ it. My cousin told that she called her the other day more a less consult her bout giving birth experience but of course my cousin did not give much away else I think she’s gonna panic.
Yesterday morning, went for a morning walk with dad. It was only my 2nd time to the highest hill in BM I think. I think it’s bout’ ¾ of the Penang hill, just as challenging as Penang hill IMO. Nothing special bout’ goin up nor comin down from the hill but rather the quality time that I had with my dad. It’s been a while since I had the father-son conversation. I think it was a great opportunity for my dad to know how much he’s boy has grown. I think my dad needed to know my needs and my long term mission. I’m kinda pleased it turns out well.
p/s This is my 100th post~! YeH babeeeee

Revitalize
Phew...it was sucha hectic weekend. Last Friday, immediately after work, went down to KL for some unsettled business. Funny thing is, people seem to get the wrong idea when i told them I’m going to KL. I don't think i can blame em' for thinking this way but if ppl were to know EJ better i think they might know. All i can say is that my trip to KL wasn’t due to any particular reason involving another soul. I'm actually quite glad i had this 'short break'. I think i kinda needed it. The long journeys sort of gave me some rest to reflect back on recent weeks.
At times i feel quite busy during working hours. Last week especially, had to crack my head to calculate return of investment to purchase a machine. It was a race against time, since i had to finish it on Friday itself so that the purchase order can be submitted on time. The machine actually costs RM 54K, my biggest project so far i think. Calculating the ROI was quite tricky, but my supervisor really impressed me. He was doin all the math’s pretty quick in he's head and i had to listen attentively just to catch up. I was like , "damn this bugger can calculate real fast". In the end, i was sniggering deep inside me when he tried to correct me but instead he was the one who got confused with one part. Nevertheless i still respect him for giving me such useful tasks and what he told me during my first day at the company, not just about him being a higher upper first class stud. That actually felt bit like “harimau mau tunjuk belang”.
It’s good in a way that I wasn’t really treated like a trainee. But there are other engineers there who asked for my assist to do some operator kinda work.
The last few days I had to help out at the re-work section, soldering power transistors. There were like few hundreds of circuits to be soldered and till today it’s still not yet finished. Initially it felt horrible having to solder for hours. Currently, my soldering skill is just damn good, and it’s almost guaranteed to
Pass the quality control test. There’s actually damn freaking a lot of criteria’s for soldering. Kinda occupied this few days either preparing CEP justifications or organize stencils else solder. The good thing when there are things to do is time flies.
Was thinking about taking leave just to have a day or two to laze at home, watch tv and stuffz. When I’m watchin tv, I think MTv is da channel dat I watch most. There’s few shows which I think is ok Room Raiders (used to be nicer) , cribs , trick it out , pimped my ride , wanna come in and the new show ‘final Fu’.
The other day when I was in the car with my dad, there’s this car passing by. Then
My dad pointed to me and he said “this car actually will look quite good if it’s pimped”. Lolz, I was laughin inside me cuz dat shows that I’ve been watching so much of ‘pimped my ride’ till even my dad knows da meaning of ‘pimped’. Ahhaahahhaha… my dad rawkz
It’z now 10pm, n it’s time for EJ to Zzzz…. Adios peepz

Kilang Emak Saya Punyer
This week has been quite kinda eye-opening, since i've got my first taste of working life. Although just as a trainee, it's
still possible to see roughly how things would be next time.
After finishing my first week, which felt like the longest week of my life and it's like i'm there for months. Currently
working for a company called KESP, Kilang Emak Saya Punyer which is quite a small company. I'm actually placed in a
department called SMT, Surface Mounting Technology where the electronics component are being placed on the PCBs(Printed Circuit
Board), and basically there's a lot of freaking machines there.
Man, i've feel so tired when people ask me what do i do there cause my first assignment is sort of a long one which will
take about 6 weeks to complete. Anyway, here goes; the 2nd day working in the company, i was asked to sort of design a
soldering machine to replace the current soldering method which is the basic method where we use the soldering pen and solder
the component manually. So, i was asked to do a in dept studies on how the processes is done, the materials they use where
there's different type of PCBs. Then, i need to contact a vendor to ask them to fabricate a machine that can solder this
type of board. My supervisor was telling me, "you can make appointment with him and disccuss it outside of the company or
bring him to the lobby area or other place". The funny thing, is i haven't even been to the lobby area myself.
I was glad that the meeting with the vendor turn out OK. It was quite a nervous encounter since, the person has been
fabricating such machines, and surely the person knows more bout the materials and process since i was there for only the
3rd day. So, at the moment i'm just waiting for the quotation. Once i get it, then i will need to compare the effeciency,
whether the machine is faster and more cost efficient compared to the old method. If yes, then the machine will be
purchased. There's when i thought my job would be done. But no... i will still need to wait for the machine arrival
and installation. Then, i'm suppose to perform some testing to check whether the machine is working fine before being
send to production side. If it's OK, then i'm supposed to train the particular operator who will be using the machine on
how to operate the machine. My final step would be to just replace the old method. Some kinda task huh? Lolz and i still
have another one which is dealing with another type of machine. I think this task are not bad cause i did learn about some
procedures and i get to commmunicate with people from other company. I'm also suppose to pressure my vendor all the time
so that i can get everything i need asap >:).
Unfortunately, i'm not occupied with this task all the time, so i do have a lot, yes a lot of free time where i'm suppose to
roam around , checking out machines. I'm taking my time, since there's a lot of machines with different functions, so i'm
sort of learning about each machine each day, getting more detail. Sometimes when i'm free i just go over to help out the
machine operators, all Indon girls. Kinda felt for them actually, having to work for long hours with minimum pay.
I'm actually starting to feel the heat bout' working life. Feeling the stress when i think bout it. It's like how's my
career gonna be when i grad the next time. My supervisor told me a lot of stuffz bout engineering line the very first day
when i came, i think that really hit my head. Starting to think if i have enough potential to fulfill my ambition. I felt that
sometimes engineers do lack some qualities. I won't feel content working at a place doing more a less the same thing for
the rest of my life just to cover all expenses. Even, if it's a big company, with benefits , great working environment etc
i'm supposed to just do the job and wait for my salary at the end of the month? I think this is where those kinda interview
question comes in. Where do i see myself in 5 years time?
It still comes back to the basic, my mantra..lolz
"The difference with being extraordinary and ordinary is the lil bit extra"
- it's quite a strange week for me filled with crankiness, stress, tiredness, jealousy and i think i'm bound to give up
something which i've been thinking all this while. Sadly, it doesnt look like it'll work out-
