going to su zhou soon~!~!~
Friday, April 29, 2005
haha.. it's so wonderful~! today after work i'm going to su zhou and meet up with my other friends.. hehe.. after a long week of squeezing my brain juices.. it's finally over for a while. hehe.. so happy. next week is the golden week, china will rst for one week.. hehe.. i don't need to work.. i can go around china sightseeing.. i wanna know china more..
these few days here. i'm totally amazed by china. it's so different from singapore. every province is so different, the food, the culture, the lifestyle.. most interesting part of it is the people.. hehe..
in singapore, i felt like home.. cause everyone act the same, react the same, talk the same.. but when i get to china, i felt so alien.. i'm so different, the lifestyle is so different from singapore...
this whole week has been a very challenging week for me. cause personally, i don't think i am good with computer. and it's been a year since i last attended a computer class.. kinda lost touched. hehe.. then these few days, i'm supposed to do up a computer program, using excel macro. waaah.. tried many many times.. couldn't succeed. felt abit discouoraged at first. cause at first, i forgot how to use macro. the last time i used it was last year, and it's only a few week's lesson only. i have forgotten it long ago. and when Mr Yeo ask us to do macro for the PPV inn excel spreadsheet, i was so lost, i don't know what to do...
but thank God that i'm able to recap how to uses macro, i'm really amazed. i just any how use the macro function, and things slowly get back.. hehe.. really thank God that i could recap what i've learnt in computer class.
after figuring out how to operate macro, i start to use it to program my excel spreadsheet. think i did more than 5 times.. all fail. i don't know how to use visual basic to change the macro (actually only know a bit.. i tell myself to read the programming carefully and i'll be able to unnderstand. hehe.. and i succeed in changing some of the program.. haha.. so happy...) i still continue to try. i don't want to give up.. hehe..
just now just finish the latest version of the excel spreadsheet.. currently.. nothing wrong. i hope everything will run out smoothly. think later i will show Mr Yeo the excel, i hope he'll say we're on the right track.. hee..

Boring day...
Wednesday, April 27, 2005
i think today is the first day when i really felt like i have done something in work place. hee.. today Mr Yeo brief me on the PPV and CRI thing, now i roughly know where i should head towards to. but i think i need to do some programming, cause Mr Yeo said that the program should be automated, the figures should come out automatically when the users just click on some places. wah.. need to do macro sia.. stress.. just now went to explore the computer.. trying hard to figure out how to do macro. now only remember a bit only.. and i also went to esxplore SAP. hope i didn't mess up the program. hehe..
hai~~ think today really used up too much brain power le.. felt a little head ache now. hai~~ now only 3.30.. one more hour to go.. i want to go home and rest.. oh.. the headache getting from bad to worse. then some more frank, my project manager, gave me a email.. it contains all the quotations and want me and zhen zhen to find the price.. i don't know which price is he talking about. and i couldn't find all the price of the materials inside the file that he sent me. now i'm resting, writing this blog.. wah.. so sian.. don't know whether this is what frank wants.. hai~~~
oh ya.. and the project.. i'm supposed to finish everything by 10 mar.. ar.. no time sia.. cause next week will be golden week.. don't know whether have time to finish up everything or not.. really pray hard that i can make it through.. think i am going to have quite a few late nights in order to finish up everything.

First Day of Work
Thursday, April 21, 2005
today is my first day of work. my company is Wincor-Nixdorf. specialised in printers, keyboards, POS system, etc. my company has shuttle service that will pick us up at certai location. but today is first day of work. the company ask the driver to pick us up at the hotel.. so good rite?? hehe.. the driver called Qian Shi Fu, he's very friendly. he direct us to where to take the shuttle bus in future.
first day of work is really an eye opener for me. the supervisor, Mr Yeo, showed Zhen Zhen and i around the facilities.. the factory really have very big machineries to have production.. and they have quite a few assembly lines to make the products.. and they also have a place where they test out their product, making sure that their products are of good quality and will withstand long-term use..
one of the example is that they use a machine, that will keep typing at the keyboard that they produced.. and they count how many times the keyboard could be pressed until it spoils.. and that machine that help to type will constantly type at some of the keys on the keyboard at a constant rate.. that time.. i was really amazed.. they really really make sure that their products are up to good quality.. and besides key boards.. i also saw rolls and rolls of paper on the floor.. and it's connected to a printer.. at first i wondered how come this 'testing room' is so messy.. got so many paper on the floor.. after that, Mr Yeo explained that those are to test the printers.. making sure that the printers are of good quality..
after going round the manufacturing sectors.. really felt like 'wow.. never been to a big company to work before.. really looking forward for the next few weeks here'
then when lunch time come, Mr Yeo ask us to go for lunch together with him. we went out of the office, and we took a private car to a restuarant. we had some singaporean food there. cause that restuarant sells singaporean food... oh... starting to miss home.. hehe..
after that we went back to the office.. zhen zhen and i was given a table each to sit.. hehe.. the first day of work is like nothing to do.. waiting for time to end and stuff.. then after that, we took the shuttle bus back to the city.
Qian Shi Fu sent us back straight to the hotel on the first day.. it's really nice of him.. hee..
my overall experience on the first day of work was fantastic.. although i don't know what can i do for the company in this few weeks, but i really hope that it'll be a pleasant one for both me and the company..

Shanghai Tan
Monday, April 18, 2005
Wah.. just got back on the bus.. just now i went for the boat ride, to look at the night scene in Shang hai.. it's really nice.. the lightings along both the coastlines.. and along the river, there are so many well known shanghai landmarks can be seen so clearly.. the scenery was really beautiful.. i love it.. but towards the end of the boat ride.. the boat is supposed to make a U turn back to the starting point... before the boat start to turn back.. that area of the river is still going through some contruction.. so the scenery there is not so nice though.. hehe..
but overall, i really loved the place.. the night life in shanghai.. it's so vibrant, so charming.. hehe.. but the boat is really crowded sia.. hardly could see clearly the whole of shanghai scenery.. think singaporeans are not so Kia Su afterall.. all of us couldn't compete with the locals there sia.. when we board the boat.. all the locals just push their way through.. and all of us just let them go pass us.. and all of them chiong as if they never been on a boat before you know?? so scary..then when my friends and i managed to get up to the top of the boat.. we only could stand in the middle of the boat.. all the good places to sit and stand are taken up.. only right in the centre was empty.. and that's where nothing could be seen..
so although the scenery in shanghai was beautiful.. but it's the people that spoiled everything..

The surroundings
now at Nan Pu Da Qiao, the bridge is very high up.. so when you go down the bridge, the bus need to drive along e spiral road to get down.. the road is super long.. need about 3 to 5 mins just to get out of the spiral road.. in fact, China is not so backward as i thought to be.. as they are able to build such gigantic structures like this. i never seen such a big bridge in my life.. haha..

it's hot~!
Monday, April 11, 2005
Today is such a hot and spicy day. Haha.. Tell you why.
Today, I went out to have dinner with my family. We intend to go out for dinner at 6 plus, but pui only came back at 7 plus. Hai~ by the time we go out of the house, I’m famished! Hee.. My dad suggested that we go eat Indonesian food. Wah.. Sounds interesting… hee.. Never tried before. But last minute we changed our mind. We went into a Thai restaurant. When I first look at the menu, I’m shocked. Almost all the food listed is with chili sign. Those without chili sign has a kid sign, mean it’s suitable for kids. So means that those can’t take chili are kids?! Hee.. Anyway, my dad ordered some food; I ordered a thai milk tea.
The milk tea taste different from what I usually drink. It has a special smell; think it’s a kind of spice. It makes the tea special. I like it. And it’s 2 bucks only loh. So cheap. Then the food start to come one-by-one. Most of the food is spicy. My dad ordered quite a lot. Got fish in coconut sauce, green curry, tao gey, fried minced meat, etc etc.. wah.. Cannot take it.. The food is too hot for me.. Think only my dad says that the food is not spicy. Pui drank about 7 glasses of water in that meal.. haha.. that’s really a lot. Haha.. she very funny. When she finish her glass of water, she took dad’s cup and exchange with hers. Then dad need to refill his.. haha..
Just now I suggest to eat Japanese food.. But my mum rejected it.. She say she don’t want to eat it.. So when we’re eating, I ask my mum whether she regretted not eating jap food, she nodded.. haha.. Funny.
The food was nice, is different from what I usually eat. But it is really too hot for me. Hai~ the meal cost about S$65. kinda expensive.
After that we went shopping. Went to different places. When we go to metro, dad said asks me to search for clothes for me to bring it to china. After that, we walked along the aisle. And dad saw a denim jacket. Then he ask me to try.. It’s quite fitting. But when I looked at the price tag.. I got a shock. It cost about S$46. I told him it’s very expensive, tell him don’t waste money, don’t buy. But he still insists to buy and pass me a S$50 note and ask me go buy. Wah.. So touched.. hehe..
After that we continue to shop around.. Then we went home.. Today is such a wonderful day.

Pui lost her phone
Wednesday, April 06, 2005
Yesterday Pui Man lost her hand phone. She told me that she dropped it on the bus. Then yesterday night, someone called. He told me that he found pui’s phone in his mailbox. But one thing that puzzled me is that he’s at Blk 330, which is near Fuchun Sec. It’s so far away from where pui usually will go.
Today afternoon, I went to take the phone back. I met an auntie and a little girl at one of the void deck near Fuchun Sec. The auntie pass me the phone, it’s really Pui’s. She told me what happened. Then I told her that pui left it on the bus and she lost it.
My mum gave me an ang pow yesterday, wanted to give that auntie, for the help, but she declined it. Really thank God that there are such nice people like them. Hee.. Felt quite happy when I got back the phone. Although the phone not mine, I still thank God for that. As I know that there are still a lot of helpful people around. After getting the phone, I went home.. hee. Kinda tired today..
