At the plant

I went back to the plant yesterday, to get some work done for my final year project. The main entrance to the plant has changed. The guards were more friendly and they actually let me drive in so I didn't have to take the 20 minute walk. As you can see, I have got more lazy over the holidays which is ending soon.
As I was getting down from the car, I heard someone calling my name real loud from the canteen. I was suprised to be noticed that fast, maybe because I wore red. Haha...anyway it was Uncle X...he is the oldest at the office so we call him that. I walked in to the office and everyone was in a good mood. They just got back from their team building which was in Kuching(the land of Janice)...hehe :P. If only my internship was during this time, i would have managed to join them. They were updating me about their trip. It was fun to be back. There is a new german intern but unfortunately can't check the intern out coz this time its a girl!! The batch of german interns who were with me are all gone...sob sob....
Then of course I started with my analysis for my fyp. My boss(my ex-boss i mean) really gave me a lot of information and I was amazed with the amount of info he knew off hand. I mean, in his position he does not have to know all this but he takes the initiative to learn about it. And he is also a very hands on person. He knows a lot of technical details about the car. After going through the tests, we went for a drink. There he enlightened me about more things. I was really in awe. If I was going to be working in a car manufacturing company, I would want to be like him. He really knows his stuff.
He started working in a small company which manufactures parts for air-conditioning systems then he worked really hard and now he is with Daimler. He went to Germany for training and now he is the manager of Commercial Vehicles. Not forgetting he just received an award from the Sultan. He is one good example of a person who worked hard to get where he is at the moment. And being a well read person, he has been helping me a lot in my project. I'm really thankful to have him to help me thus far.
Talking to him has made me realize that the working world is not that far away from me. I have to start thinking about where I'm going to start my career and etc....I guess above all this worry, God knows whats best for me. I just pray that I get into something I like to do and I will be somewhere not so far from my psyco friends. I can't believe that this 1st of December I will be starting my final semester in Uni. I hope its gonna be the best :). I can't wait to be back!

Holidays!

I think I have never looked forward to getting back home this much before. Since I looked so much to going back fast, thanx to someone I could fly home :). And indeed it was fast, I think I reached so fast even Nina didn't get back to bed yet after sending me! It has been 5days since I have been back and lets just say nothing productive has been done except to make an appointment with my ex-boss. Haha...so basically I have been bumming around and probably bugging my parents and also my doggy.

I got the another 9days left before I get back to uni and I better make the best out of it. I'm yet to go to the beach. It has been raining every other day so can't lepak there. And the saddest thing is after my intern friends left, Kuantan seems to be pretty quiet for me. Mum says I should find something to do to keep myself from becoming to lazy if not it would be difficult for me when I get back to uni BUT i'm enjoying being lazy at the moment. Its the only time I can be lazy..during the holidays!! Haha.

Anyway, I have to go make a birthday card for my mum's boss. Hope it turns out well. Coz i'm not all that good in art. Hopefully will have pictures to show once I'm done with it. Till then!
