attachment

Started on my industrial attachment (IA) last monday at STK. I also cannot tell if the first week is good or bad. Maybe should have stayed in school instead. But too late for that now.

I start work at 0730hrs. Yes you didn't read wrongly. So i'm constantly in a state of not-enough-sleep. Feels like it's back to my JC days. It's also like 3 stops before my JC somemore.

The workplace is no different to an army camp. Looks and feels alike. Even some of the rules are similar. Using my old phone the Nokia 6610 now. You know what i mean??

The pay is seriously very little. Food and transport siong man.

Tiolets also not very good.

But so far not a lot of things to do. Now i would rather to have something to do instead. It's a torture to not have anything to do and not fall asleep. Especially after lunch.

And the weird thing is my supervisor looks like my platoon sergeant from BMT.

But the people and technicians there seems friendly enough. That's good.

Completed my first circuit with component and wires and soldering and everything last week. I seriously suck at circuits and electrical stuff. The most common question i get is what is a mechanical engineering student doing there as the place deals with electrical and electronic stuff. Maybe i chose my project wrongly.

Now i can only hope i learn something useful from my time there.

The department had a BBQ gathering on Friday. Stayed behind and joined them. Think everything totaled up to just less than 400 bucks. But the people were all so efficient and technology helps. With the help of a big electrical fan the fire was set up in like 15 minutes and ready for cooking. Pretty fast. Classic men gathering with food and beer. Not bad lah. But very tired after that.

Just had dinner at marina steamboad. So that makes it two nights of unhealthy food. Need to do something about it. Maybe detox or something. Haha.



And it's back to work early in the morning tomorrow. Pray for me.
