.experience. || 21st January 2009 ||

lately i have friends calling or texting me saying

"you know what im working at Nandos Gurney now. and you remember that Brandon..? yday i saw him with..................."
"eh free come find me la. me working at Parkson now. and there's this guy at counter 5....................."
"this is crazy mannnn. i've never handle so much cash in my entire life. its so nice to be a cashier............."


and i wonder how many of them will be pursueing [is that how i spell it..?] Business or Hospitality later on.
so my point is....
this three four months we're free, how many of us are actually doing something that may benefit us in the near future..?

yes i know some of you may say : Heyyyyy. get money what.. 4bucks per hour times 8hours a day times 6days a week times.............
ya la. i also know. =.=

while some of you [of us?] may be a promoter at a shop, a waiter at a restaurant, a cashier at a cinema ticketing counter,
im working as a temporary QC clerk in a factory.
i know its something most of you havent gone through at this age.

well mine is a bit diff cause im actually working as a clerk.
in a QC lab.
in a factory. that produces detergents.
trust me. its really interesting.

paperwork is fine.
i mean you do it all the time in sch. right..? LOL

but when i dont have much paperwork to do, i'll be helping out in the lab.
yeah i work under a supervisor in this QC department.
she's actually a chemist.
so what do i do actually..?
a lab assistant.

ermm.. just something like what you do in the sch science lab.
i take the pH value and check the viscosity of the liquid.
if its not within the specs, i'll have to add certain compound to it; NaOH, salt, citric acid etc.
stuffs like that.

and really.
its hell of an experience.
besides that, i get to know more bout the production line,
the blending department who supply us the bulk to be tested,
the managers and upperhands who demand for this and that.

of course, the pay is low.
and i do mean real low.
but i think i not only earn money here.
im earning new experience and knowledge.
things that i've never known.
its a whole diff world where for the past 17years i've never open my eyes too.

yeahh i know just how much i hate chemistry in sch.
its never my thing.
but ever since working here, i find it interesting somehow. =]
butttttttt.... engineering is still my choice^^ x]



so yeahh.. thats my words of wisdom for today. LOL
