5 weeks of attachment has passed and so far it's been pretty ok. There are days where it's relaxing but mostly busy as we are given task to complete daily. Me and Wang Fei got attach to Tool Room and unlike the rest, we seldom face the computer the whole day as our department deals with mould repairs. It's like the "hospital" in the company where not only to fix the mould but to find the root cause of the problem and finding solutions to prevent it from happening again. Mostly we helped out in the workshop doing cleaning and polishing of the cavity & core or parts from the mould. We also have to do measurements and using the scope to check for cracks. It's pretty awesome as i get to see a real industrial mould on hand and see every details inside it. Now i finally get the picture on how it actually works. I did learn them during my ITE days but mostly are just theory. I also gain experience on how the company works and now i know why many Singaporean's don't really go for engineering as it's a really tough job i must say. It's not as easy as i thought it would be. It can get really crazy and chaotic.
The rest of the IA students mostly just deal with paperwork or working in the office! I think the most luckiest person was Ya Ping and Julian as they have been doing OJT since day 1. All they do is stare at the laptop the whole day! The unlikiest is me and Wang Fei as we have to be in the workshop. Doing polishing is kinda a dirty job as sometimes the oil may splat on our jeans and we have to smell all sorts of chemical. But unlike the rest, we get to experience things that they don't so it's like a blessing in disguise i guess=/.
Being in Tool Room is kinda fun too as there are all sorts of people with different personalities. Almost all of them were given nicknames made by us. There are Mr Mooncake(his fat and a big slacker but i love him haha he rocks!), Mr Quiet(his good too but i seldom talk to him), Mr Nyp(he studied part time in NYP before), Mr Scared(this guy always love asking IA students to do his work), Da Zui Ba(Big Mouth)(Love this guy too! he doesn't have big mouth he only talks very loud haha) and the worst is Fei Hua. This "Fei Hua" talks crap all the time. He keeps bragging about how good he really is. The most hilarious part is that his 38 and still single lol! Everyone in tool room love making fun of him. Everytime he sees a girl, he will definetly approach and flirt all the way. Horny pervert(-_-) lol. He is Wang Fei's best friend as he always like to pick him to help him out and he likes to talk to him haha. There was once we kick his bag and locker so hard haha and Wang Fei put some dirt inside his bag and some oil too lol! The rest hasn't been labeled yet but they are all fun and nice.
No matter what, me and all the IA students can't wait to go back to school as we miss the south canteen food and the school life. School's more fun even though its stressful. 7 more weeks and FYP here we come:)
Some pictures in the workshop.
Me posing in the workshop haha.
Checking the measurements...
The canteen.
The food is cheap but the taste sux hahaLast Wednesday was Hari Raya. I wanna wish all my friends "Selamat Hari Raya" maaf zahir & batin. It's hard fasting during attachment as it can get exhausting but thankfully it's over;). Well this year i wore black. I was planning to rest at home as i don't really care about Hari Raya anymore but my mum kept persuading me so i had no choice but to go. It's still the same as the previous year's but it's shocking to see how everyone has grown. My cousin's have all grown so big and tall. Well it's nice seeing all of them as i normally get to see them once a year haha. Few days back i did 2 new graphics. Finally i had the time to made some. I haven't touch my photoshop for so long and im beginning to sux at it. Looks like i have to practice more.
