June 1st, Wed ... Industrial Training 1st day
It was total crapzzz... before today but now i think i'm going to blog everyday (almost, anyway =P) to make more crapzzz... hehehe.... actually, i decided to fully utilised my blog as i've use it only once in a bluemoon for my industrial training daily rants.. that way.. i can refer back here for my daily & monthly reports... hehehe...
Anyway, today was quite boring at times & so-so at times... but basically the whole day was like waiting for time to pass... Before I rant on... should probably give a brief idea.. My training place is Netpolitan. My boss is Mr. Frankie, my supervisor Mr. Cheng & training-mate, Thomas. I have to work 6 days a week.. (note: 6 full days, not 5 & 1/2 days) that's mon-sat, from 10am til 7pm.. the good thing is that it starts operating at 10am, which means I get to sleep in, but the drawback is having to work on sat...
Today is the first day of my... errm... boring training... Like I said, just basically waiting for time to pass. I went in slightly before 10am, only Mr. Frankie & some other trainees from err.. i-cant-remember-what-college was there.. I greeted Mr. Frankie & then he asked me to have a sit first.. Not too long, Thomas came... & we waited for about 15 to 20 minutes before Mr. Frankie called us into his office. He gave a brief idea of what the company was operating & what is our main project. Mine was to create the webpage + database for customer to register online using PHP & MySQL.
Then, he sent us out & asked one of the clerk (umm... I'm not sure if she's called a clerk onot la...) to brief us on the basic streamyx packages & the current offers.. just in case a customer should ask if we answer the phone, we would be able to walk them through the different range of packages. After that, we sat there staring into space... (hahahaa...) as our supervisor was out & there was no computer available for us to use. When our supervisor came back, we were introduced & he asked us to go for lunch first as there wasn't much for us to do today.
Later, we followed Pang, the technition to Stamford College. He was suppose to troubleshoot a problem with the AP. We learned something about the AP.. Apparently, the phone line is connected to the modem, which is then connected to the EVI before it is connected to the AP. EVI is used to create a tunnel to the server to create a LAN.. & blablabla... =P
Afterwards, we were brought to a former Satay Celup shop. This is where the Netpolitan branch (which will hopefully be opened in July) will be. It is for the TMNet Clickers. (Information from TMNet web: TM Net clickers is TM Net Sdn. Bhd’s one-stop Internet service centre where everything is under one roof, from Internet access, service registration, bill payments and processing of accounts to the purchasing of merchandise and prepaid cards as well as an avenue for customers to experience various Internet access speed at the demo area provided.)
We stopped by several other places before finally going back to the company at 6pm.. We sat & stared around waiting for 7pm. & that was my first day semester 1 of my final year, my first day of industrial training... but most importantly, my first day of work...
I realise today that studying was much better than working... When you're working, you don't have flexible time off (unless you're the boss la..). When you're studying, you choose your timetable, you can choose to skip classes. Even if you don't skip classes, your time is still quite flexible compared to working hours... So sad... & this is already my final year... *pouts*
