Journal on my Internship Life

Hi peeps. It's me again. Updates on my internship life.

Started to find for my internship place since last year, and tried my BEST to send out as many resume as i can which i blog HERE before. Local mails, emails, phone calls and efforts did pay off. Thanks Lord for providing an internship place for me.

I know most of you are kinda curious bout the company that im heading to. Hahaz.... For the following 2 months, i will blog (mostly) on my internship life (if there's internet access).

Ok peeps, im gonna work in a company named Press Metal Sarawak. Starting from sending my resume, cover letter and uni cover letter to the company through emails, positive feedback weeks after that.

At first i was hold back to work in this company as this company is located at a rural area in Sarawak. A city girl like me is hardly to accept this fact and frankly, i only been to 'Mukah' but not 'Balingian' when im in Standard 3. So you can imagine my memories towards that land. I chose to fly to Mukah. It's estimated a 6 hours journey using land, and 1++ hours using plane. Another fact that i would like to share: from Mukah airport to the company is about 1 hour journey. So, basically i need 2++ hours to reach the company.

Trying to search Press Metal Sarawak using google maps but failed :( Whatever it is, I really felt grateful that the company will send someone to fetch me from the airport back to the company. The HR did called and confirmed me about the transportation matter. I am looking forward to this internship. Not sure it's good or bad. Hope i can enjoy it or at least; i can learn something :)

Do hope i can access to the internet so that i can update my internship life :)

Gonna travel on 2 May. Meaning: i need to start packing AGAIN soon :( Take care peeps. All the best to all my friends that are going for the internship ^.^ 

The log book that will accompany my for the 50 days of my working life... I need to write all my working situation in this book. Hopefully my handwriting is not messy. SEVENTY-DAYS of my internship life....Oh gosh, im gonna miss my home real soon T.T

Update from HOME :)

Hi peeps. A big Hugz and Lurve from HOME. Back HOME is the most wonderful thing that I ever wish for. Meeting up with my families and the town atmosphere can really cheer my day up. Had my last paper on 26 April; which is EBB 342-Quality Control and Management.  

Right after the paper, my friends and I headed to Sushi King for the Bonanza RM2 Promotion. Went with Jia Yee, Kok Sun, Chee Yang, Siew Huoi and Jas; I lost count how many plates we had that night. After that, we went to Pacific for a movie: The Chinese Ghost Story. Rushing back to pack my stuffs until 1am =(

Next morning, headed to Penang with Chee Khoon, Mun Teng and Hooi Keng. Thanks peeps for the company. Went for Dim Sum at Taman Pekaka and 3 of them sent me off at the airport. They were so sweet: helped me to carry all my stuffs. 

Anyone know what is this for???The plastic thingy~~I never see this before.

 

I was very excited as im going to meet my Best Friend: Huong and my twin: Jody in Kuching. Same flight with CMC Pastor and experienced a long queue at the immigration counter in Kuching International Airport (KIA). Why no express line for Sarawakian???!!! Huong came to fetch me at the airport. We headed for lunch and went for a movie: Red Riding Hood after that at The Spring. Huong scolded by a girl cause she ON her phone. She just wanna look at the message and yet being scolded. Huong, you are BAD LUCK. WAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAH~~~~~

After the movie, went for window shopping and I spotted a cap. White color, pink wordings and made of cotton from PDI. No budget to buy it now. Saw few dress that I lurve~~ Oh well, no nice figure, how to wear??? Lol…

Met up with my twin and had cold stuffs with her and Huong~~ Yummy….

Huong fetched me back to KIA and im waiting for my next flight back HOME!!! Some random shots~~

Oh ya, did I said that I met Huong’s Sis and Bro in law during the lunch time. It has been years I didn’t meet her sista and she couldn't recognize me. Haha… She said I became tan (thanks to the good weather in the campus). Oh well, the skin really made someone misunderstood who am I. A Chinese lady sat beside me at the departure hall, asked me about the plane information and guessed what, she asked me in MALAY!!!! Okay, I assume that she’s being patriotic by speaking Malay~~~ Sweat…. The MOST LAME JOKE I ever had in my life. (I bet some of you must be laughing now)

Entering the plane, an upper middle-age lady with her daughter or granddaughter (as im not sure) sat beside me. Some turbulence during the entire journey, which I can say the worst I ever experienced. I can experience the plane jumping up and down instead of shaking left and right. I can feel that the lady sat beside me is very worried and kept on praying for the entire journey. No matter what religious she is, I can feel her passion and faith towards God. I did prayed for the safe journey; and thank God that I felt so calm for the entire journey. Hahahaha…..

Home alone since yesterday. My parents went to other states for meeting, one in Ipoh, another in KK. Kinda lonely but I did enjoy my peaceful rest before my internship. Thanks to the internet and TV for the company.

This few days I woke up kinda early, 7am but today is exceptional, 10am. Didn’t notice my sis’s sms. I had KFC for brunch yesterday. I know it’s unhealthy but I don’t know what to cook for 1 person portion at home.

Home cooked dinner on Thu night. 3/4 dishes cooked by me.

X-meal~~

Went to sis house for dinner last night. Will go again tonight.... and play with Jayden...yippee...

It’s raining, lovely weather, lovely HOME and lovely day. Was watching Prince William and Princess Kate Wedding and it’s SO SWEET~~~

Went out alone to buy my daily necessity for my internship and I had Sugarbun for my brunch. Guess my West Malaysia friends do not know what ‘Sugarbun’ is. It’s sort of fast food restaurant in Sarawak, alike KFC.

Bought my all-time favorite Pearl Milk Tea

and my favourite cheezels ^^

Will update SOON~~~ Stay tune..haha..

Home Sweet Home~~

IM BACK~~~ to my dearest home

Will update soon once im FREE.... now trying my best to settle down...

Take care peeps ^^
*having headache now :(

Vandalism~~

Past few days, i have a visitor in my room...

and look what the visitor did.... *bad bad* oops...

anyway, it did lighten up my day :) the upper part (the red line as separator) written by the visitor, the bottom part wrote by ME. oops.  that wonderful verse shared by my friend. Thanks~~

End of Study Week. Starting of Exam Week. All the BEST peeps....Remember to seek God ya.... ^^

start feeling stress NOW. Bad sign~~~ should i let go some chapters???

Dental Braces-Changing the O-Ring Rubber: Pink [again]

Yeah….
Today went to Penang Island with Sue.

Luckily she can make it.

Went there around 8.30am, it was a great day.

Changed my O-ring to PINK again.

Oh well, cause I think that color can stand for 4 months [hopefully]

No more detail description, cause still remain the same.

Just put extra transparent O-ring in the middle of my bottom tooth. Cause there's a gap exist.

Was so excited~~~

Before~~

After~~

Feeling: I takeaway McD as my brunch and I took almost 1 hour to finish it up L sad right. Feeling the pain but I hope all this endurance is worth. The pain will soon go away and I really awaiting the day that I can smile without my braces on…..

Remember When by Avril Lavigne [Lyrics]

Remember when I cried to you a thousand times 
I told you everything 
You know my feelings 
It never crossed my mind 
That there would be a time 
For us to say goodbye 
What a big surprise 

But I'm not lost 
I'm not gone 
I haven't forgot 

Chorus: 
These feelings I can't shake no more 
These feelings are running out the door 
I can feel it falling down 
And I'm not coming back around 
These feelings I can't take no more 
This emptiness in the bottom drawer 
It's getting harder to pretend 
And I'm not coming back around again 

Remember when... 

I remember when it was together till the end 
Now I'm alone again 
Where do I begin? 
I cried a little bit 
You died a little bit 
Please say there's no regrets 
And say you won't forget 
But I'm not lost 

I'm not gone 
I haven't forgot 

Chorus: 
These feelings I can't shake no more 
These feelings are running out the door 
I can feel it falling down 
And I'm not coming back around 
These feelings I can't take no more 
This emptiness in the bottom drawer 
It's getting harder to pretend 
And I'm not coming back around again 
Remember when... 

That was then 
Now it's the end 
I'm not coming back 
I can't pretend 
Remember When 

Chorus: 
These feelings I can't shake no more 
These feelings are running out the door 
I can feel it falling down 
And I'm not coming back around 
These feelings I can't take no more 
This emptiness in the bottom drawer 
It's getting harder to pretend 
And I'm not coming back around again..

Dear Garfield,

OKAY~~~ I am not FOCUS-ing NOW.... cause im updating my blog now... 

Scribble

Hello world…..
It's me once again….

Study week has been amazingly GREAT for me… (cause I get to sleep a lot!!! GOSH!!!)

Guess gonna knock, punch or slap myself out (anyone volunteer???)

Whatever~~

Going to change my braces O-ring tomorrow.

Wondering what colour should I choose: especially those can stand for FOUR months plus….

Recently kinda EMO.

Somehow I hate #singlelife atm.

But most of my friends said im gonna miss #singlelife once i get into a relationship.

Guess I should appreciate the #freedom I have now. Oops..

Wake up JOY!!!!! You are a strong girl… (yeah… I know im a tough girl…)

Self-praise is not good.

Recently kinda addicted with SS or DOUBLE "S" word…

Frankly, I just notice that SS can form a lot of words!!


Syok Sendiri

Sangat Stress

Sedang Stress

Sangat Senang

Gonna rest soon…

Take care peeps….

30 Hour Famine 2011~~

Yeah peeps..... Itz 30 Hour Famine again....

and for sure, im JOINING!!! :)

last 2 years i was in the committee and now i join as a participant...

Busy finding donations from my friends and church member friends~~

Just received my donation booklet and within 4 days i manage to collect RM70++. Wow...thanks peeps for your support!!!! On behalf of the needy who will yet to receive those money for foods, medicines and stationeries, i sincerely THANK all of you out there for the donations!!

The minimum donation that i have to collect is RM80, but i do hope that i can collect more than that because it means a lot for the needy.

For more info, check out HERE!!!

This is me...2 years ago.... during 30-Hour Famine..

This year..... My donation booklet ^^ Looks nice right??? The booklet consists of participant's detail, the camp leader detail, serial number (which is super important), a table to record those who donate, receipts, steps what a participant should do and information regarding 30 Hour Famine. This year the receipt comes with the booklet, which i think it's a very good idea: save cost and convenient.

Woot~~~~ Im SO EXCITED. Cant wait for the event!!! Sila salurkan dermaan anda kepada orang yang memerlukan bantuan menerusi saya. Terima Kasih!! (guess i should blog in Malay one day)

There are thousands of reason for you to HATE someone, but there's only ONE reason you LOVE others: because GOD LOVES US FIRST :)

MASK day~~~

a day to pamper myself...

not really study today... busy downloading drama and movies....

Somehow i started to become super duper relax (guess itz not a good sign)

chill out peeps.... enjoy your study week ^^

Healthy Junk Food...

How do you define a healthy junk food??? Anyone???

Lol... Im kinda obsess with junk food recently... (might due to final exam syndrome.....).

If you're 80's babies like me, i think these junk foods are defined as COMMON in your dictionary...

I still remember i ate this super duper alot at my young age.....

 and not forgetting THIS:

 The inner packaging changed from white paper to thicker golden paper :( and and and.... only TEN pieces of haws per roll :(

One of my favourite sweets(besides the white rabbit chewy sweets)....

Of course, most of us are eye-ing the toys in side these boxes. Haha...Too bad i didnt buy these.... Snap this picture inside the supermarket..lol...

This is gonna be so random...lol...Bought other stuffs too besides the first 3 in the pictures.. Exam is near and i need an extremely lotsa foodie... haha... This is my back-up~~

Been super long i didnt put on mask....Gonna find some time to put it on..

My pen is out-of-service.... (thanks to lab reports)....

Start counting back home???? oops....

 and i cooked another dessert today. it's white fungus+longan dessert...yummy....

went for a walk with jia yee and kok sun. went to school to get our test paper~~

 and we snap lotsa crazy pictures in this so-called 'winter sonata' path.....

 Thanks for the lovely evening~~

Not Enough by Avril Lavigne [Lyrics]

I’m sorry

If this hurts you
But I tried to keep what we had once I was wrong
It wasn’t keeping me awake
You didn’t listen (You didn’t listen)
You didn’t hear me (You didn’t hear me)

When I said I want more
I got no more
You were stealing me away
Oh

[chorus]
It’s not enough, it’s not enough to get me
What it is I want
It’s not enough, it’s not enough to get me
Everything I need
And I, I wish it was
I think it’s time
To give this up

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh

All the memories
That we’re losing
All the time that I spent with you everyday
I think it’s running down the drain

I’m feeling (feeling)
That we’re fading
Don’t make this as hard as you think you’d be
It’s a lot easier than it seems
Yeah

[chorus]
It’s not enough, it’s not enough to get me
What it is I want
It’s not enough, it’s not enough to get me
Everything I need
And I, I wish it was
I think it’s time
To give this up

And I can feel it falling down
Slowly, slowly
I can see you’re starting to drown
Can’t stop it now

I can see ya burning out
So show me, show me
How are ya gonna turn it around because…?

[chorus]
It’s not enough, it’s not enough to give me
What it is I want
It’s not enough, it’s not enough to get me
Everything I need
And I, I wish it was
I think it’s time
To give this up

It’s not enough, it’s not enough to get me
What it is I want
It’s not enough, it’s not enough to get me
Everything I need
And I, I wish it was
I think it’s time
To give this up

It’s not enough, it’s not enough
(to get me)
It’s not enough, it’s not enough
(What it is I want)
It’s not enough, it’s not enough
(To get me)

08.04.11

what's so special on this day???!!

It's a GOOD and BAD day for me~~ so it's a neutral day after all....

This morning had 2 hours class (and it was a talk by an invited speaker)...

Talked on the Energy Storage/ Battery~~ which related to advance materials...

Had a breakfast treated by our lecturer Dr. Azmin. BTW, he's one of my favourite lecturers in this campus ^^ and and and...i asked him to donate for 30 Hour Famine and he really super duper supportive. Thanks Dr!!!!

Then, went for CF prayer meeting. My EX-CGL (sze-lyn) came back to pay a visit. Super surprised and happy. Thanks for the cakes... yummy ne....

Had a good rest in the evening. Slept till 7pm. Gosh....

A cup of Milo to fill my stomach for dinner.... which i had another cup around 1am cause i cant stand the hunger.....

The campus is rather quiet as most of the people back home for study week/ weekends. I miss home.......

You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift [Lyrics]

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
She's going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do

I'm in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesnt like
And she'll never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're lookin for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this easy?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I havent seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see? 
You belong with me

Standin by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong. I think I know it's with me.

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me

Standing by or waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that
You belong with me
You belong with me

Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me

Never Say Never by The Fray [Lyrics]

Some things we don't talk about
Rather do without and just hold the smile
Falling in and out of love
Ashamed and proud of, together all the while

You can never say never
While we don't know when
But time and time again
Younger now than we were before

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Picture, you're the queen of everything
Far as the eye can see under your command
I will be your guardian when all is crumbling
I'll steady your hand

You can never say never
While we don't know when
But time, time and time again
Younger now than we were before

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

We're pulling apart and coming
Together again and again
We're growing apart but we pull it together
Pull it together, together again

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

sleeping

Pray that i have strength for upcoming 23 days as final is approaching~~ the 24th day i'll fly back home.... but it's only for 7 days and i'll be flying off again for my internship :( Take care peeps...craving for nice foodie atm...

EBB 317-Materials Processing Laboratory

I have 6 lab-mates this semester, with 3 guys and 4 girls (included me). This semester is quite special as i have 1 student exchange friend from Korea :)

I was in Group 20 where my group will combine with group 10 for all 10 experiments. Our group started with Experiment 10.

Experiment 10: Building of microelectronic circuit to examine characteristics of P-N junction diode. basically, we need to learn OrCAD PSPICE software in order to analysis the effect of temperature on the characteristic of P-N junction.

Experiment 1: Slip Casting and study on flow property fabrication of Plaster of Paris (POP) mould. In this experiment, we got to learn how to produce the POP mould using different 4 different ratio of POP:water. We also study the viscosity of the slip when the amount of sodium silicate is added constantly.

[preparation of the slip mixture...]

[trying hard to remove the POP mould from the model...]

 [Clockwise from top left: setting of the POP mould, the cast, drying of the mould, the produced mould]

Experiment 2: Preparation of PVC Compound. In this experiment, we prepared 4 different blends with different amounts of PVC resin, stabilizer, plasticizer and filler. From these blend, we mixed, put in oven for degassing purpose (remove the air bubbles), put in heating oven, hot compression moulding and cold press. The PVC sample is cut into a dumbell shape and the tensile strength result is analysed using a Universal Tester Machine.

Experiment 3: Clay Based Ceramic using extrusion, jiggering & jolleying and Potter's wheel. This experiment is mostly about usage of different methods in producing the clay based materials.

[my lab mate dealing with the extrusion machine...] 

[the most challenging thing for me.... the Potter's wheel. looks easy but when youo hands on... itz like WTH!!!!]

[producing plate using jiggering method..]

[the products using extrusion... ]

Experiment 4: Powder Compaction Process using ceramic powder compaction and powder metallurgy. In this experiment, we learnt the effect of different composition on the ceramic product, the effect of the mixing, pressure and powder size on the ceramic product and also learnt how to deal with powder metallurgy process.

Experiment 5: Glazing and decoration. In this experiment, we learnt the effect of glazing, types of glaze, method of applying the glaze and the effect of parameters that will affect a good glazing.

 [Looks colourful right~~]

 [Stirring the glaze mixture.... but being bullied...]

 [US~~]

Experiment 6: Metal Casting. In this experiment, we learnt how to make the CO2 mould, melting method and non-ferrous metal casting.

 [Cut the shape we plan to make on the polystyrene. Of course, this is not the one we make...]

 [Preparing the sand mould...]

 [compaction]

 [Blowing the CO2 gas into the hole made earlier..]

 [the furnace: melting the aluminium]

 [safety precaution]

 [hot hot!!! it's burning RED...]

 [sawing the sample produced.... and it's super HARD....]

 [The sample we produced... 'A' and 'T']

 [Of course, we need to do grinding, polishing and etching...]

 [in order to see the microstructure and study the defects]

Experiment 7: Weldability Test. In this experiment, we learnt the defects on the welded sample and did the tensile test using UTM for different section of the welded samples.

Experiment 8: Cathodic Protection for buried steel structure. In this experiment, we learnt ways to protect/ prevent the steel from corrosion using SACP, ICCP and stray current. This experiment is kinda fun and we got to rest as we need to do this experiment under the hot sun. The lecturer and the demonstrator are very kind and taught lotsa things.

[using ICCP method]

Experiment 9: Plastic processing. This was the LAST experiment and was the MOST TIRED experiment among all. Hot, super duper a lot of procedure and freaking uncooperative machine that kill our mood on that day. We learnt how to produce plastic product using blow moulding and basic knowledge about the pultrusion machine.

 [from the circular die]

 [air blowing into the plastic...]

 [the plastic that we used everyday~~]

 [the waste]

 [the uncooperative machine which gave us FAILED data...]

 [playing with the product produced by pultrusion machine..]

All in all, this lab was the most enjoying and TIRED lab that i ever did. Whatever it is, kinda blessed as we got to gain knowledge through this experiment. Hard work paid off. Really happy work with all my lab mates and im gonna miss the lab life SOON.... 

Lab test next week..woot.... *not happy*
