2nd Day... 13/05/08


It is my second day as a production engineer at ...
I did nothing today as my mentor is in India and the section leader was just too busy although he promised to take me on a tour round the yard.
So I really had to do what I have not been practicing much: pretending to be busy... Seriously, it is no easy feat to.
Glad to know another intern from NTU who has served 5 out of his 6 months here at Singmarine. His surname is also "Guo"! (Quek) He's really quite a nice guy and he offered me his seat and the his tin of biscuits. Thanx dude!
He said I'll probably do nothing for the first few days as I have yet to go throug SICC or something which is some safety course before I get to go onboard. But he added, after the safety course, things will not be the same anymore. Er... Understood...
By the way, I'm having my safety course this coming Thursday. So, hornymoon... I mean Honeymoon period will be over before I know it.
Haha... He was also trying to psycho me not to return to the company as he said the company is not very good. I'm not sure that he meant but I believe his words have much credibility since he has gone through much more than I do. I shall wait and see...
ANyway, I figured out one thing. There is a price to pay for everything. It might seem like a good pay with enticing bonuses, the workload is just as demanding as well. Not to mention the occasional yellings from the sention leaders. It's really a trade-off to consider.
I seriously think this little footprint I am going to leave behind in this organisation might do me good in future. I seriously hope so...
And, I'm not supposed to snap any pictures in the yard as it is a key installation... So, too bad ya!?
