Its wednesday

wednesday wednesday wednesday

just a little bit more to the weekend...hope tht diana dint see this, even my supervisors or boss... ahahhahah...now it seems to be a little bit more stuff to do...shown the seniors the grating design and the things that i think nice as per references from books, ChungMeng assigned me to design the Utility Room...i was like...hm..apa itu har??  Store Room?? if it would be a store, they would have named it a Store Room right? I so cleverly cracking my head to try to solve this biggest mystery of the century, gave up, and ask senior wad on earth is tht.

you know, rich peeps actually has alot of housemaids and servants. Utility Room is where their laundry and other stuffs are done...

yeah..i know...design a utility room, sound so kacang putih right??  jus put a few cabinet and leave it there lar...hor?? but...think it the other way, it can be fun. so, i was imagining the maids to go there activate the washing machine la..ini la..itu la...iron clothes la...hang clothes la...tools la...i quite like the end product actually...until i didnt know that senior went out to site visit with studio head..  :S 

thats basically the morning part of my first wednesday in JDW

lunchtime peeps!!

Daphne asked me out to lunch with them...but my mom steamed rice dumplings and tapau-ed for me that morning

so, didnt go out la...just makan in the pantry with some boiling hot redtea  :)  quite nice actually~~ but scared at the same time too...cuz only a few days working there, then bring own stuff eat liao...later ppl think i lansi how?? but i go eat oso i dont really talk...how??  i lansi or nt??  how ar??  

end up thinking alot of unused stuffs...cuz wuliao mar...

so, i was done with the Utility Space wednesday morning right??  continue with the other parts tht ChungMeng assigned before he cabut...the Kitchen...but, they have Wet Kitchen and Dry Kitchen...i was imagining dry kitchen is something like a bar?? where people serves drinks and snacks?? to verify my head's version of a dry kitchen, i asked Daphne about that. end up lagi blur la...coz Wet Kitchen has this vent hood...sometimes, Dry Kitchen also have vent hood...so, its like having 2 same kitchen but only different usage lah..isit??  blurrrr...

okay, nvm...then i read and check back the plan from the computer...i saw this weird thing...a Powder Room beside the wet kitchen...i was like..hm...their maids use makeup when they are cooking Rendang Chicken or somehing ar??  need to 'Powder'-kan themselves in this special room?? then...powder room and toilet...not much diff oso...oso got basin, mirror, WC...of course, i ask Daphne also la...she say..maybe its meant for the guests in their house to re-attire-kan themselves, or even the owner of the house right after they r done with the cooking thingy.

just about 3pm, ChungMeng and SaoInn came back from site; i was reading books for references and etc for the Wet Kitchen and Dry Kitchen part...then he told me, saying tht the client might appoint a kitchen cabinet specialist or something...so, better if i focus on the major spaces, esp the living area...if the client decided to let us design the kitchen part, only we do cuz its scheduled to handover somewher around Sept...shortly before Raya?? before i have my head turned back to the monitor, there he goes missing in action again...another site visit??  no idea~

so, from the whole Sea of Cabinets in my brain...have to leap 360 degrees to living area...scribbled some also...off i go around 630? coz i was a few mins late today...and btw, i met SaoInn this morning when i reach office...he was about to take something from his car, kindly reminded the HR dept manager about the staff ID card for the flash-the-door-and-open, efficiently, i received my card somewhere 11am..  :P  thanks alot !!

p.s ooh...and tht poor little apple still stuck there, with her eclipse mints MIA in extreme speed!! ...wakakakaka

well...i know its friday now..

but im gonna tak about tuesday..  :P  

odd huh?

fyi, today is the second day of my intern. but i still dont have access to the company premises..the -teet-teet- machine is keeping me out. so, i reach here early too...around 845am, shortly before Kak Noor. whoever who reads this post (or the previous) who found spelling error on your own name, correct me~  wakakak

as usual, i have no idea what to do. so, still reading non stop. thanks to JDW's super rich and well updated library, i can read to my max...so far, i think only read 0.5% of the overall book collection in their resource center. fyi, most of the books are not in the library..they are on the designer's table. currently, the trend in the office is more Kevin Mark Low's style...introduced by my senior ChungMeng.  <-- he say he only small potato in the office... to be continued

thanks to Kak Noor who reminded me, i brought my own stila mug and spoon. changed my bag today cuz my monday-bag handle spoilt...so bloody embarassing. luckily i have my strap cuffed monday...hate low quality bags...  cleverly brought my own mug to make coffee and tea, but i more cleverly forgot to bring my phone and my wallet.  fyi, i didnt know until lunchtime where i was searching for my wallet to join Daphne to lunch...

today,  i met Mr Azlan, the another studio head who was away for meeting on monday; Mr Khoo, the big boss who wears Crocs; Mr Arasu, the submission progress expert; and Mr Ceasar, the 3D guy downstairs. not to forget, i met the ID dept people too :- Amy, the skinny sporty girl who likes sport shoes; and the only guy taller than me in the whole company. I forgot his name though...  :P  will ask Daphne next monday...According to Amy, there's another girl name WeiRu in the ID dept.

anyway, ChungMeng explained the bungalow project that im assigned to in detail...the BP, section dwgs, site pics etc...and asked me to design the grating...fyi, its the drain cover sort of...so..sketch and sketch and sketch...alot of stupid thing come out la...until ChungMeng thought im designing jewelleries...he explained quite a lot of stuffs though...eg. workmanship is more expensive than material cost. :P

then...the client of the bungalow project is here to discuss about his future house la...currently constructing one...but have to decide on intricate things esp the finishes and fitting choices and options during the meeting session. Mr Marimuthu, SaoInn and ChungMeng was stuck there. so, i went lunch with Daphne and the ID dept people...along with Mr Ho.  by the time we finish lunch also, the meeting havent end. fyi, client is always right. so, if they smoke during the meeting, u cannot say anything also. btw, Mr Khoo was there during the meeting also...

tbc

p.s damn tired

fyi # 01

fyi, im in the middle of an internship program now...today is the fourth day im 'working'.the thing that im so OMFG sweat is that...i am already late to work on the 4th day...i hope that diana wont ask for my working time log from the company...please peeps, pray hard for me

well..this firm tht im interning is where our beloved ex-senior Eng currently works in...

michelle (my another senior) has been making fun out of me & Eng which fyi i dont quite really like.. :P 

michelle...stoppppit!!

the fun part interning here is that...you will nt get fired for attending work late. it sounds so interesting right?? the house rule is that...you reach late, go home late. fyi..i was late for almost 1 hr today...i go home at 7 lu...my working time is 9-6...or is it 5?  im not entirely sure about that...

fyi, Monday was the first day that i went to work...i was locked outside of the office, coz they use this smart card system...as in you wave your card at the door lock sensor, then it will unlock the magnet lock on the 9ft timber door at the entrance. Lucky for me, the receptionist malay lady reach shortly after me...so, i jus tag along when she flashes her card on the -teet-teet- machine.  :P

waited in the ..waiting area la...until Mr Raymond (the HR dept manager + IT dept manager) reach...along with Mr Eng to show me my place...i am stationed in the JDW...which does architectural and interior design...so, i just sit there and wait until someone gives me job. fyi, Mr Raymond temporarily assigned me to assist Eng.

then...around 930+, this guy reach - Chung Meng (im nt sure whether i spelled it correctly), and he is so kind to introduce himself to me...fyi, there were others who reached but they sit on the other side of the office...the very introvert me, will of coz not go n greet them la...later i say something wrong, my intern will be certified dead in the first day... after ChungMeng, there's Daphne...the very friendly lady who sits bside me...

slowly, everybody is here and the busy day starts. i sat there n do nothing until Mr Raymond is here again, to show me around the office and introduces me to everyone (except for those aho went out for meeting or site visits) we have Kak Noor, the receptionist lady who flashes her card; Mr Lau, the general manager of the JDW; SaoInn, the very young studio head guy; Mr Yong, the technical senior; Ho, the guy who whistles all the time; Shah, who is very punctual & smokes; Faizal, who helps different seniors at 1 time; Chung Meng, who introduced himself to me earlier; and Daphne. these are the peeps that i'll be working with...fyi, im not sure whether i spelled their name correctly except for Eng's in this whole post.

so...i go n kacau Eng, see if there's anything he can assign me to do. apparently, im the only one who's very free in the office. Eng is bz until he had no time to sit down n breathe properly. so, he ask me to go read some books and mags from the library. i read n read n read...then, take note of the time so that i can write what i 'did' into the log book. browse through the files in the computer tht im seated on, only i realise tht they did the Desa Parkcity development too...!!  i thought they did PJTC <- which is the new commercial hub in future PJ area...

the thing tht im quite kancheong is lunchtime...coz i'll b spending my 6 months in the subang kampung area, considerably rural la...fyi, my workplace is close to the subang airport. anyway, by the moment that im thinking what to eat, the very kind Chung Meng invited me to go lunch with the peeps - Daphne, and the girls from the ID dept. i still wonder why am i stationed in the JDW instead of the ID dept.

monday was a total bore.

that i was waiting for the clock to strike 5...so that i can leave the office, on my way home. mana tau, Mr. Alex, the architect reach office around 5, and 'summoned' the meeting at 5pm sharp. at first i thought trainee dont have to attend meetings (which is so untrue). so, i rolled the chair closer to the 'meeting table' and introduced myself again. basically, they jus roll their office chair closer to the empty space and call it a meeting...tak ada meeting room, which is nice by the way - its entirely free, casual and comfortable.

during the meeting, i got lost in the middle of the Sea of Technical Terms... when they say BP, i actually thought of the petrol station. fyi, it stands for the Building Plan; we interior people call it Floor Plan or something. everybody is reporting their progress, the drawing submission progress, the PJTC project progress, technical progress, supplier progress, conceptual progress, client meeting progress etc etc etc. the meeting lasted for almost 1 + half hours. fyi, Eng was not there as he went to his project site and meet his client and etc. he went out shortly after i go out lunch with ChungMeng. 

as a starting point of the whole internship in the JDW, Mr Alex assigned me to assist ChungMeng, who is currently finishing a bungalow. according to the senior designer of the bungalow project, Mr Marimuthu, he say that this project is just nice to start of my lifetime career's internship...i hope so :P  its almost 630 by the time the meeting dismissed. ChungMeng roughly brief me about this bungalow project and ask me to take note of some design style that they have adapted in this particular bungalow project....off i go around 7pm

it does sound fun in the 1st part...there are 179 parts to go~

keep it up with the intern spirits my dear friends!!!  lets gambateh together!!!!

p.s especially the pity apple

Just Me

highschool BFF

they attend school with u

they attend tuition classes with u

they attend prom with u

they go shopping with u

they laugh & cry with u

they go to beach with u

they indulge great food with u

however, there's one thing they cant do...

always the guys problem...

here's the story...there were 4 of us...

the skinny one, the boss, the short one and me...

not very BFF, but we spend quite alot time together during highschool...

i cant get along well with the short one...not bcoz of the height...duh~

but her way...detail up stories later.. :P

when it comes to getting a partner...

its like a 'Get a BF race'...

1st price = the short one

runner-up = the skinny one

recently...the boss got attached too!!

now...its just me...

i cant imagine what will happen in our future yamcha sessions...

its not like...i don want them to get attached..but something has changed...

i hate the feeling being turned down...

you know?

when u call someone to ask him/her out, but got rejected just because he/she have to finish-kan the partner's report.It confuses me and this whole bunch of something...i hate confusions.sometimes, i think alot,care too much i guess, start to think all these bad stuffs...i have seen break-ups, which i hate to see it happen on my BFFs.

p.s it frustrates more when you have a psycho younger sister who kept on telling u all those bimbo stuffs and urge ask teach you how to get a guy...makes me feel so useless...
