wenlee was complaining to me how bad her VIP experience was so far. haha... can really sense her pek-chek-ness, her supervisor quite cocked up. seemingly keep throwing her works and expecting her to finish in unreasonable time. somemore, things are not in her supposedly jobscope. ke lian... she OT a lot of times liaoz. and UPS seemingly doesn't pay OT.
comparatively, i think i am having a much better life than she is bah. i have some friends in Philips, although they are not working together in the same department as i do. but, breakfast and lunchtime company is good. and although i am doing a lot of miscellaneous work, i do seem certain benefits. i also learnt a few things on my own, through my own observations etc, although certain things are not deemed "useful" because they are not related to my work. but overall, i think understanding how certain operations go about etc, is good. i dun really intend to learn more about DOE, operation research etc in my work. neither do i really expect to apply what i've learnt in nus on VIP work. but i do appreciate looking and seeing how certain things operates in a real world. the procedures, the interaction, the taichi... hahah... quite fun actually.
and the people in philips are overall quite nice. my supervisor oso quite nice. sibei talk cock, and quite friendly and helpful towards an IA student like me. although, i oso get to do a lot of meaningless work, like presentation slides, flowcharts, ms words, excel, scanning etc... but okay lah. i've picked up a few things along here and there too. some new functions, some better ways and methodology with the programs. all these are tangible benefits. and anyway, someone gotta do all these work too. even if i am not the one doing, someone else gotta to. and these are part and parcel of their jobscope too. just that i am around, i can help to do some of their mundane work which requires very little or no brain processing.
another good thing is, if ever i get OT, i can claim. philips gives OT pay... whahahahaha
It's so obvious that some groups are so far behind than some others.... i guessed it will still take a few more weeks before the crappy ones are eliminated.
anyway, i simply love a line from the anime i've been catching on.
when someone says again, "You think i dunnoe meh? I juz want to test you all mah...", you should reply, "So, i've passed?"
It is that time of the year again... result released!!!
this year is special. i see my result during VIP in philips. oso quite anticipating this sem's results.... see how did i fare even though i've slack quite a bit last sem.
the conclusion is? i still did decently. not my best sem, which is of cos. in terms of SAP, it is not my poorest sem either. but then, looking at the grade, it seems less appealing than my poorest sem though.
my poorest sem so far is 2A+, 2A, 1A- and 1B+. 2 of the A+/A are 3MCs module. so SAP is 4.727272727272727272....
this sem, my SAP is 4.739130435..... Letter grades are 3A, and 3A-.
so, comparatively, the letter grade seems to pale when compared to the letter grade of my worst sem. this sem's A- is also matching the number of A- i've had for the 1st 5 sems. hahaha.... one shot double the amount.
2 of the A-s this sem is a little bit surprising. Din expect to get both OR II and QE II A-s.... i tot at least one of them should be an A. think my test too sucky. project oso anyhow do. exam paper too easy to have any advantage either.
the 3rd A- is finance, which is pretty expected of it. my midterm was average only, and exams got some cocked up. so when i come out, i know i will get A- liaoz.
the only surprise this sem is HR. got A. think i'm not too bad in doing arty-farty shit too. hahahahaha....
all in all, i think i've done decent for last sem. not excellent. can be much better, considering the ease of modules last sem. other than HR which i wun say for sure, all the other modules can be easily gotten A/A+ if given proper attention. cos they are really quite easy.
in conclusion, very happy with my HR results, decently pleased with the overall outcome, but a bit disappointed in getting A-s for my 2 core. but then again, it is not important. i've already achieve something that many people might not be able to achieve, and i am pleased with who i am, and comfortable with myself, knowing fully well that i am not too stupid, but not that clever either.
academic outcome is often a poor judgement of a person's worth. in statistical terms, the correlation coefficient is pretty low.
wa lan eh.... VCH is costing us $3200 for deposit. kanna sai... all because it is first time booked under the name of Consonance. sibei shack.... need to find some ways to get some money, else cannot book VCH.
another thing... i am having problems downloading stuffs from filefactory and megaupload.
blardee hell. how come i din have so much problem using my laptop before my harddisk crashed. i din have these much problems when using the desktop either. now, so many problems downloading. many files died halfway, or more than halfway. kanna sai.... wasted so much bandwidth and time.
i am pretty sure that my legs will be aching badly tomorrow. but i guess it is better to ache now, rather than aching one week before my reservice and ippt. i need the training anyway.
i am looking at completing a mileage of at least 60 km in total before i go back into reservice. at first i was thinking of 80km... but i think that is a little bit unrealistic. 60 km in total i think is a little pushing the limits too. going back in 19 june, and now is already 21 may. i need to run pretty often in order to complete that.
anyway, i left 50 more km to go.... hopefully by the end of 60km i can run decently for my 2.4km.
i may be a 4.9, but nowhere in my fucking brain i would have thought that my VIP will be this muthafucking slack. chee bye... slack until i cannot take it. slack until i fuck care and play minesweeper outwardly, dun care kanna discovered or not. slack until i have to ask for work, and not be given any. slack until i voluntarily walk out of office and help out in factory work. slack until i go fix spoilt printer. slack until i can read their excel files and scrutinised mistakes in them. slack until i can learn new excel functions. slack until i dozed off.....
what the fuck!?!?
next week i will be reattached back to the purchasing department. hopefully this time round, they will give me something to do. sai gang oso can. chee bye... otherwise how to pass 9 hrs? especially i wakes up at 0545 to go the muthafucking Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim.
i promised i will never forget this roadname man... even when i forget my army enlistment and ORD date, i will not forget this roadname. it gave me a shock of my life man last sem.
anyway, as a round up, i juz read some kaobei kaobu from another person's blog. quite an old post but i haven't been reading much recently cos my laptop were down, and i gotta sleep early. anyway, itz human nature to like to say good things about themselves, and kaobei kaobu the rest of the world are in the wrong. i'll do exactly the same too. though no names were mentioned, and a lot of other people are involved, i shall make an informal reply here, whether or not this reply will reach the intended personnel (anyway, i read it on a blog, so i shall reply on my blog). all in all, i dun feel i owe her anything, and i think i still did more than the rest of them. at least i got read, i got prepare, and i got think and write my part. i even have to help other people think, teach and reorganise their parts. that includes teaching and correcting her mistakes. when did anyone bother to teach me how to write mine? so, i think i did my fair share. there are people who did zero, and other who only vet (i shall hold my opinion whether any vetting was done in the end.) so if a particular gal wants to point finger at me, so be it. in all ways, i dun feel any conscience-pricked. who wants to take advantage of who remains to be known. i've never asked anyone to do anything.
so far, the people whom i feel i owe them are my father and mother, my brothers, a few close friends , my former choir friends, and the current consonance. these are the people whom i will make sacrifices willingly, whether or not is there any returns. out of these grps, then it depends. of cos even within these grps, for some i will be willing to give more, while for some, less. but i can assure you, for those whom i said more, it will be more than you think.
first 4 km in one whole year... din time myself cos i dun want to get demoralised... hahaha... but am glad enuff that i can still complete 4 km in one stretch. hopefully i will be disciplined and continue to run in the next few weeks before i go back for reservist and take my ippt. i still want to get a silver in the very least... $200 leh. this kinda money still comes in useful for a pauper like me.
I am in my office in Plastic Factory in Philips. I am attached here for a week, till the end of this week. Fucking bored in here man. At least for today, I've basically done NOTHING. What the hell.... I got so much time on my hand, that i can scrutinise their weekly reporting excel sheet till i find some problems inside. Then, for the whole afternoon, I've been only tasked to BEAUTIFY PRESENTATION SLIDES. hahahaha.... I have to touch up their presentation slides when I don't even know what they want, expect, and what this presentation is supposed to be for what. Heck.... at least it occupies some time. Now that I'm done... i got nothing to do anymore. I decide to play punk and come in type a few words to kill my time till the day is over....
i've finished watching Return of the Condor Heroes 2006 already. okay lah... not bad lah... but not very good either. a bit draggy here and there, and certain parts of the story that i tot is important wasn't emphasize in the show. the show drag a lot in yang guo and xiao long nu's partings and reunions. but the computer effects not bad. i think itz the best so far for a tv series. most tv series computer effect is like shit. this one still not so bad.
found a good website to keep downloading. shiok. 've juz finished watching 童梦奇缘. not bad too. am downloading Green Tea, by Vicki Zhao and Jiang Wen. shiok.
anyway internship is getting a bit boring. have been reading non-stop since the day i step into the company. haha... today i've read another 100+ pages of stuffs too. read until i want to sleep siah... haven't done anything substantial. previously sat in 4 meetings and listen to them talk. quite sianz oso.... i hope i wun be spending 3 mths juz reading and listening. otherwise i really dun understand why they want to pay $800 a mth to get a student there to read.
admist my pain in losing my precious data in my crashed harddrive, i finished watching Jewel in the Palace. i carried on watching this show even during my exams... so i think a crashed harddisk shouldn't deter me from watching this show either... haha... anyway, glad to complete this series before my vacation internship starts officially tomorrow.
anyway, i find this show quite nice leh... though i think a lot of pple will think this show is keep crying soap opera. okay lah... i quite like it.
this is another show i watching during my exams. vin diesel looks quite old, don't you think so? not too bad a show either. quite crappy, but not much depth.
the only consolation i've got is.... i did backup all my mp3s and movies and videos... but i lost all my photos, my choir stuffs, and all other documents.
anyone has any idea how to retrieve data from a died harddisk!?
it took quite some time huh, isn't it? the exams are finally over.
quite a crappy sem. but good. cos slack. this whole sem, including exams, oso quite slack. i din really do much preparation for this exams, which is pretty much unlike past sems. in the past, i would probably have start staying back in the ISE lab till 10-11pm everynight even before recess week starts. this sem, i make it a point to go home every day by 8+, and reach home before 10. cos i wanted to watch da chang jin.
the worst preparation probably is managerial accounting bah. not that it is tough. in fact, it is quite brainless. but then, it is close book. thatz the worst. i've not had close book exams for quite some times. even if close book, oso at least can bring in cheat sheet. this one, zero. wah... then lim bei blur diaoz. memorise dao siaoz man... but heck lah. exam paper come out quite stunning.... hopefully can still manage to heong an A back.
and as always, my birthday falls right smack into the exam period once again. but then, still went out. hahaha... on the 29th, went to watch nyjc musical synergy. at first, was simply thinking it is juz another concert, and i m there juz to support the choir. thought it was going to be boring for me, since synergy has always been quite a flopped concert. but then, i was surprised! it was a good concert. good mix of different stuffs. think nyjc's arts culture has improved. not bad. went out to watch Find me Guilty after that. quite shiok.... a good getaway from those gruelling shit. heng i've got 5 days in between till my next paper then. can slack 1 day at least. but it turn out, i slacked more than 1 day. the QE II exam quite stupid, and i m glad i slacked more than i should.
a few more days to slack... then i have to start work liaoz. 3 mths of vacation internship.... sibei sianz....
