Two weeks in Darco

"How’s your internship?" This is the question that my friends usually ask.

"So far so good, learned a lot etc." This will be my response.

So here’re some updates after two weeks in Darco.

-Last week, I went to Malacca with Wilson, my colleague. This was my first time went to site, to see the real water treatment system. And yes, I got to know more in depth from this one-day trip. It was a fun one, although we reached hostel at about 9sth at night. (Wilson was sick and so I drove his car when we departed that morning. Pity him~)

-Weekend, Clarice(another colleague) asked me to download ROSA (a software) for RO (reverse osmosis) and UF(ultra filtration) system. I spent some time playing with the program on Sunday.

-Yesterday, I helped Clarice to prepare/edit a proposal for RO/UF system.

-Today, I downloaded CADIX(another software) for mixed bed system. (Both ROSA and CADIX were downloaded from Dow website.)

-Thanks to Clarice, who teaches me a lot.. I guess she’s kind of like my "supervisor". Hope to be able to help her more because she is really a SUPER-BUSY process engineer…

*I’m going home this coming weekend =) This is the most interesting part =p

*Tomorrow is my sister’s birthday! Happie birthday meimei =) Happie Birthday to ko Tat as well~

The first weekend after internship

It’s the first weekend after I started my internship.

I enjoyed my work so far because I learned “something” although I was there for only one week. I work in a water system company- Darco Water System Sdn. Bhd. So far, I’ve learned a little about deionized (D.I.) water, reverse osmosis (R.O.) water and also water treatment for copper cyanide/silver cyanide. Besides that, I have really good colleagues/housemates. They are all very friendly and nice =)

Other than work stuff:

Good news!
One of our jimuis - Fong just came back from UK! She reached KLIA on Thursday night. At first I was wondering whether I should go to KLIA to meet her up because it was my first time to drive to KLIA from Tmn Chempaka, Nilai (the place where I stay). At last I went! I met Anne, Syn and Ying who were there to pick Fong up. That was my first time meeting my jimuisss since I’m back in M’sia!! I was very happy although I spent a very short time with them.

Not-quite-good news:
I realized that I get angry very easily recently. I get unhappy/moody really fast. I don’t know why… Because of the hot weather that I really can’t stand?? Or I’m just too much?? I create a lot of trouble once I “muka hitam”. People around me get affected once I show my unhappy face, especially my brother. I’m just too much to give him trouble. I should CONTROL myself, should not let “unhappy” mood stays with me anymore.

It’s a very special day today - Father’s Day!
BUT, three of us are all in KL.. Anyway, those who are back at KB will dine out with grandpa, which is very nice too~

Happy Father’s Day to my beloved daddy!
We love you!

First post from K.B.

I’m home for more than three weeks. I did nothing more than do something, I guess.

First week, I just stayed home and tried to recover from jet lag.

Second week, He Wei came to Kota Bharu with his friend. Kheng Hong and I toured them, went to Kelantan’s famous Siamese Temple/Wat and ate a very special local food- nasi ulam for lunch.

Third week, went to Kuantan with Kheng Hong. It was kind of a last-minute arrangement. We actually visited Miao and it was actually a very short trip- 2days 1night. However, I managed to get Polo-T’s and a pair of shorts =) The most interesting place was Teluk Chempedak. It is very pretty!

Yesterday was my beloved Grandma’s one-year death anniversary. All of us were so busy preparing stuff. Most of my cousins were back for this important day. So it’s kind of a reunion for me. This was also the first time I met my brother and sister since I’m back! Since they were to go back to KL for work/study right after the praying ceremony, we didn’t really get the chance to hang out. I appreciate the time we spent although it’s short.

I’m leaving tonight, going to KL with my parents. The main purpose is actually to report to the company because I’ll start my internship next Monday. Well, we will take this opportunity to have a short family trip. I’ve been planning for a family trip before I’m back. But my parents have to work as well as my brother, and my little sister doesn’t have holidays yet. So I guess, this will be it!

I guess, I will "have something to do" all the time when I start working, won’t have the chance to "stay and do nothing" anymore. Hopefully it will be a great working experience for me.

*The most important thing now is to finish my translation work, it’s due very very soon!
