30th April 2011

I already passed my 1st month of internship. How I feel? I feel I'm getting older but I still strong. I didn't get sick during my work time. I hope I will keep this momentum. Today, for the first time, my supervisor late for work because he was working overtime yesterday night. I think he really needs a long break. I felt so tired today. I just slept for 2 hours ++ this morning & need to worked for 8 hours. Luckily, I didn't fall from highest floor when I do inspection today. To readers, if you are working, you need to sleep at least 6 hours to gain back your energy for the next day. If not, your name will be on the main news on the next day. Meanwhile, today is the last for 2 of my colleagues to work at there. I wish them all the best in the future. At noon, almost all of the staff including myself went to a Thai Restaurant to give a farewell lunch for a consultant. The food looked nice but it was too spicy. The interaction between the seniors & myself are getting better. I was surprised again that the company's social club is organizing a movie time for the staff & it is free. I was delighted & will join them to watch the movie soon on next month. After lunch, I felt so lazy to go up again. I was too full. I just stayed in the office & read the method of statements on how to build & maintain the RC, Steel, Wall, Touch-up, etc~

While on my way from Pasar Seni LRT Station to KL KTM Station, there was a old lady passed by. Suddenly, she approached me & asked: Can you lend me RM2? I was like?? But in the end, I didn't give her & I walked off quickly. I felt pity her for wondering around but at the same time I need to protect myself. KL is not a very safe city especially at the Pasar Seni area. If the old lady really needs help, she should find police nearby. But there are a lot of swindlers from young to old people. Becareful~ Be smart & cautious all the time~

Tomorrow is Labour Day. I think Everyone who is working will be very happy & will rest or enjoy for a whole day. The good news is next Monday is also a holiday due to the replacement of the public holiday which falls on Sunday. But at my workplace, some of my seniors need to work. But I think they will get extra allowance. Anyway, I would like to wish Happy Labour Day! Enjoy~

Just came back from a gathering. It was tiring but it a good time to know that my unimates are still alive. I missed the royal wedding live on television due to work. I hope I can watch it back soon. About my works today, still the same. I was inspecting the riser part again with my senior from Mechanical & Electrical Department. He gave me a lot of useful advice about the site construction. I like one of his quote: A site construction do not has any problem it's not a site construction. As an engineer, we need to know how to solve a problem in any form. I really don't like rain nowadays even though it's chilling. The rain caused leakage. The leakage caused each floors flooded. The flood caused my pants wet. It's hard to clean the cement stain on my pants. Doom~ I haven't sleep. Later need to wake up early again~ I can't wait for the holiday!

For the first time, I attended the staff meeting. I felt so scared because everyone were in serious look. Although I attended a lot of meetings during my studies time but here is totally different. When you say or decide something, you can't take it back. Need to becareful when you decide any decision. One Mistake will cause a Disastrous problem~ Now I know why sometimes my supervisor get so hot when he faced the problems. I managed to get feel & almost want to explode when the sub-contractors didn't do their task well. Really headache. This is one of the reasons why they project is delay. Meanwhile, I was surprised that one of the general workers know how to speak in English. Unfortunately, his boss changed his job from a passenger hoist operator become a general worker due to his laziness. I think a lot of people still don't know what time I wake up & what time I reach back to my house. Usually, I will wake up around 5.20am while the earliest time I will reach back home around 7.15pm. The latest time is 9.30pm if I work overtime. To readers, do not think that working is easy. Appreciate your studies time or holiday well. If you have a wife & children, it's better do not work on construction site unless your family understand your situation or you really need more money. I'm still thinking of should I continue to work in this industry after my graduation or not.

While I was waiting for the train at the station, next to me was an uncle chatted with a young girl. Suddenly, the uncle accidentally touch my back when he changed his sitting position. He apologized & checked on my uniform which school I'm studying. He chatted with the girl about the importance of Chinese Language. I was like @.@ Before he boarded the train, he asked me to take care of the young girl~ I was like double @.@ But it was funny~ Haha~

I didn't go & inspect all of the walls so early. I used the early morning time to finish my tabulation reports for 23 days. Even my seniors teased me that I'm doing a clerk works today. =.=My supervisor is right. Actually no need to inspect each floors so many times in a day. Just go & inspect 1 time is enough. Last time, I used to inspect twice in the morning & twice in the afternoon. How stupid am I~~ During the sub-contractors' meeting time, I saw my supervisor quarreled with the sub-contractors. It was like a war. I even can smell the 'Charcoals' were burning. Meanwhile, I saw the sub-contractors back stabbed their own colleagues. This is the reality. I learnt that sometimes we need to be selfish & smart to protect ourselves. If not, people will take advantage from you.

After my work, I went to SP with my sis. I saw so many teenagers at there. I was wondering why got so many people on Wednesday. It has been a month I didn't take my time for a walk. I thought I can meet my unimates at there but due to time constraint, we didn't meet up. Actually I want to ask about the work life in headquarters. Nowadays, there are a lot of franchise dessert shops in Klang Valley. People are willing to go there & buy the dessert to eat. Even though it's really sweet but it is one of the good tool to make you happy. About dessert, I really miss her~~

There were a lot of problems occurred. The sub-contractor who in-charge for the wall didn't do their job well. So many hollow parts in the wall until I also fed up to check. I saw a lot of my seniors were rushing with their tasks. This is because the next 2 days, the managing director of the company will visit the site. And for the first time, my supervisor was very angry when he was talking with the sub-contractor's supervisor by phone. He was shouting on the phone until I got my goosebumps. This is the real scenario of a site construction. There will be a lot of quarrels happen. Working on the site will be very tension too. 1 person need to do multi-tasks. I managed to feel the real multitasking today. I need to do more than 3 tasks at one time. Check the quality of the wall, supervise the workers to do the repair works, check men power for 24 floors & need to finish my paper works. Time management is really important. And sometimes, need to be prepare with last minute job, need to be patience with all of the situation & need to think calm to solve the problems. During the lunch time, I saw an ex-student from my university at a food court. He also work on site, opposite of my working place even though he is a mechanical student. He told me that when I graduate, better don't work on site construction. I was like.. LOL

I thought bring my work back home, I can do it immediately but I didn't. I'm too tired. Watch TV & Online better. I miss my study life~

25th April 2011

The 4th week of my internship just started. Today my supervisor assigned me another task. Need to help him to inspect the riser wall for 1 floor. As usual, it took me more than 2 hours to settle the inspection. I need to be strict when I check all of the walls even though the sub-contractor gave a lot of excuses & denied there is something wrong on the wall. My supervisor told me that it depends on myself, whether to agree the contractors or stand on my own decision. Meanwhile, there is a sub-contractor told me about the 'Real' world of construction. It's about the the way contractors bribe the consultants or simply say corruption. Actually, my lecturer in university told to my class before about this matter. The sub-contractor even told me about the way to bribe the contractors. Furthermore, he told me that the contractors want to bribe the consultants because they hope that during the inspection time, the consultants will not inspect thoroughly.

Now I understand why the university want to force the students to study the engineering ethics before they graduate. Based on my 3 weeks in the construction works, I learnt that I need to be think smart & fast to survive in the working environment. If you are not smart enough, you will be lose in the battle during the meetings or any arguments with your colleagues or the sub-contractors. Face the reality. Life is not fair. Life is cruel. See how smart & strong are you to survive in this kind of environment. I'm on my way~

While I was waiting for my sister to fetch me back home, I read an article from a newspaper about the gender. To my surprise, a men who married his wife for 20 years++ & had a son, just noticed that his wife is a guy too~ LOL~ For those who are getting marry, please check your partner's gender before you marry. If not, you will regret~ ;)

Love & Lonely?

This morning, I read an article from a local newspaper. It's about the people who are in relationship faced loneliness. To my surprise, the author wrote that people who are married seem to suffer more loneliness than people who are still single. Do you agree with the author? The author even wrote that there is a researcher noted that feeling lonely may induce some health risks which are:

• Increase in blood pressure
• Increase in the level of stress & cortisol production
• Negative impact on your immune system
• Increase level of depression & anxiety
• Increase in craving comfort foods or highly processed carbohydrates
• Increase in calorie consumption
• Increase in alcohol consumption & drug use
• Sleepless nights

Wow~ I agree with the researcher. I'm wondering how I can stand by myself alone. In my opinion, there are many ways to get rid of loneliness. It depends on that person to think positively or continue to depress & feel lonely. If they are still continuing to depress, then they will think that they are useless & want to end their own lives. Family & Friend supports are really important. But the main thing is about yourself. Think carefully before you act something~

I would like to wish Happy Easter Day to those who celebrating it. I'm still miss 'her'~ 1 month didn't eat her~~

P/S: This is my 101 posts~ WoW~
