First Week of Practical Training

Pustaka Miri, my second home.

Another view of Pustaka Miri (PM).

I can officially announced that i am doing my practical at Pustaka Miri (my current second home which put UiTM Samarahan into third place). I am doubting myself that i ever doing it here since there was quite some stir over the matter that i will do it at UiTM's Library too.

All i can say is that i kinda regret to choose Pustaka Miri as my hub since i don't have any connection (not internet connection but human or friends connection) here. If i do it UiTM Samarahan, i probably gossiping with Felicia and Noel is bitting me at the moment. I got to meet Igah and my coursemate, but here, i have to start all over again. It is good for my communication skill but i gotta admit, that is not my major. It took me more than a year to have a mutual relationship with my schoolmates and coursemates. I don't know what am i thinking choosing PM. Just for one visible reason, i've told my late father that i'm going to do it at PM. I just want to make that statement a reality. At least, i'm not cheating him. LOL. Above all of that matters, i like PM cause the staff are quite friendly (except for my big boss, he kinda a bit sour then the rest of the staff. Maybe because he think he is the boss, so he want a respect and deserve it). I got to meet my family everyday and i think that this industrial training definitely bonding my relationship with my sister, Jacq, even stronger. Well, i'm using public bus to go to PM and my sister workplace is near PM. So we drop and got in the bus at the same station and we out of the house at the same time. Definitely, we spend more time together than before.

Inside the public bus. Not many passenger but the traffic jam is killing us. We were in the bus for about an hour.

As a Z-lister, life is full of surprises. Of course, i was late for the first day. What more can you think of a life in a Z-list? LOL. It carries quite a bad first impressions. I'm out from the house to the station bus on 7am. And to add a more dramatic effect on that day, it was raining. I wait and wait and wait. The bus supposed to come at 7.20am but no, it came at 7.40am. An aunt told me that it was an unusual action since the bus always come at 7.20am. Moreover, the drama getting more dramatic. The director want the bus to be full of people and i have to stand up. The director also request for two traffic jams. Eventually, i arrived in PM at 8.15am or more. More than 15 minutes from the scheduled. Thank God i did SMS a PM representative about that matter before. I was introduced to my supervisor, Mr Md. Rasyeed. My second supervisor is still on year end holiday, Mr Kaberi. I was like, wow. I have two supervisor. Mr Rasyeed brought me around PM for a tour. Then i was introduced to the staffs. I don't really remember their names at first cause if you know me, i'm not good at remembering people name. When i asked my supervisor on what i task i have to do? He was laughing and thinking. Then they suggest to me to check my Facebook and online. Wow, that easy. LOL. So, i online for most of the day before brought to another tour by Mr Den (don't know the full name), head of IM/IS unit. When i was in a meeting room with him, it was like i'm a press and i'm interview him. I'm taking note and he was briefing about PM and etc. LOL. First day ended fine and quite boring. But thanks to Jack Dorsey for creating Twitter because i can tweets my friends and we entertain each other.

For the rest of the four days, i was introduced to my second supervisor.Turn out, he was my super senior from SMK Dato Permaisuri and he was taking Diploma in Computer Science too. I was shown by them of the server and network room. Taught on how to maintaining the computers, printers and bar-code reader. I have to remember the step and password. Man, they have a lot of passwords. I don't go anywhere on lunch hour since there are no closest food stalls. I have to walk to there and it would take some time. Not an ideal plan. So, i think i will use it as a diet strategy. I gained more than 5 kilos on holiday.

My table and PC, for 3 days before i was changed to another table.

This is the office right view from my new desk. No staff around since it was a lunch hour. Can't take more pictures since my handphone was lagging after this picture taken. Lol..

In between the practical training, my mother celebrate her 47th years on the Earth on 6th Jan. We celebrate it, i think for the first time because she didn't want it before and for the fact that on February, we usually celebrate her birthday alongside my brother, Mike, and my late father birthday. Just to cut down some cost and time. We gave her a body lotion and body shampoo by The Body Shop. Have no idea why we chose that present, lol. I don't take any pictures on that occasion cause i was busy placing the candles and singing birthday song but Roseline did take a video. I have no time to upload it yet. Will be post soon, no promise though.

Conclusion, i never know sitting around and online is so much tiring and boring until this week. Looking forward to end this training and see what future offer to me. 13 more weeks to go. Still a long way to go but when it reach 8, it will be not long anymore.

p/s : I got Band 4 for my MUET. Some of you might think i'm joking since i have the worst grammar ever (that's what my Form 3 English teacher told me), but i do achieved Band 4 for MUET. Suck that, whoever-your-name-teacher. LOL. I'm kidding. Thanks to her, she motivated me to achieved more. Seriously, i still can't believed i got 4. Maybe i'm looking down on my own ability. To my fellow MUET friends, congratulations. It doesn't matter what number we achieved, as long as we passed the classification to further our study in bachelor.
