3rd Day

Hahaha. I thought I will be doing something useful today. But, the fact is, I have to sent my laptop to the IT dept as they need to re-image it according to my profile and as a main user. So, most probably I will not get a new one. Never mind. It's nt my priority though.

Without a laptop, I had to initiate my own effort to learn. I asked some explanation to my colleague about the template which they called Line Balance Chart. Actually, it is simple! Very simple and in my opinion is very practical compare to the rocket science Gentain Table, which I learnt from the Japs company. Of couse Gentain Table is more comprenhensive, but I guess it suit with the Japs only. We, Malaysian not that detailed enough when we talk about Production Planning. So, it doesn't work.

I get to know from another friend that I will be only doing my real job on the 3rd week. This is because I have to follow the standard as a new comer. Need to go for orientation and so forth, need to prepare profile for accessing some applications etc.

Tomorrow will be the last working day for this week as Friday is a replacement holiday for Labour day. So, I guess I will rest, clean my room and go to the gym. I must prepare myself for the KL MArathon in Jun. My target is to finished 42 KM in less than 5 hrs. Be it 4 hrs 59 mins, I will be more than grateful. So, intense training is required. I dunno whether I should challenge myself for another Penang Bridge Marathon... I have not decided yet.

I have a mixed feeling. I dont know whether my boss will approve my planned leave in May. I need to take 5 days off. Be it unpaid leave or advance leave... But I have to take it. Come next week, I will be informing my boss about it. Finger crossed. I hope it will be approved. I need it to be approved..... even though I am nt entitle for it.

So far so good!

2nd Day

Since I have some spare time to write, so I will be writing about my second day at work. I got my log on infor, which means I can access email & internet. Apart from that, I have the opportunity to study some of the work-related application, but I have not fully understand the principal behind. Its all about capacity planning.

My colleague brought me into the production and explained to me about the process flow. I kind of blurr a bit since this is totally new to me. Anyhow, since I got internet access, I managed to google some info regarding the processes, and thank God, I am able to understand some of the mechanism involved. Tomorrow will be a different day for me as I already know what I will be doing the whole day. I need to break the formula used in the template. I need to understand how it is derived and find any logical corelation of  the arrangement of data.

I am required to submit a report after 3 months. It is considered as my on the job training if I am not mistaken... so far I've found 2 sabahans working there. But, I seldom meet them because they are in different department. I found out that the food inside the canteen was not bad. Many choices and look delicious. But, it's too early to judge. My other colleagues think they are boring. So they chose to eat outside. As for me, I still prefer eating outside. Cheap and I can get more rest during lunch hour.

Today is my last free session with my personal trainer. I found out that he is good and experienced. I never feel so much pain for exercising before, but during the 1 hour session, I felt like all my bones are breaking.... kkekeke. But that is what exercising is all about right? No pain no gain. I didnt continue having a personal trainer as I cannot commit to the cost they charged. Its good to have one, but I guess I must depend on my own. Internet kan ada.

My First Day

My first day working today was quite boring. As a newcomer, I expected this to happen. But what made it worse, my laptop is not arrived yet. It will take another week according to the department's clerk as she is the one who responsible to purchase it.

My boss who interviewed me was not around. He will only be in by next week. So I might be fully functioning only by next week... anyhow, as usual this is a time for me to learn more abt the people, about the place. There must be a reason why I am so free especially this week. I dunno what waiting next week.

Tomorrow  I will request my colleague to bring me into the production area.. if she got time. I need to familiarize myself with the process. I think the people here are friendly compare to my previous company. They share things. I dont know up to what extent they are willing to share their knowledges, but i take it as a good sign lah. Some more, I didnt expect anything like this at the first place.

At the end of the day, it happened to me that I bumped in with my friends. Two of them. I have not been in touch with them for many years... and they are here! How small the world is. One of them used to be my enemy in my previous company. So all in all, I made 7 new friends today.

My body is still aching. I cancel my second session with my trainer tonight. I said I cannot bear the pain. He teased me by saying I seldom exercising.. But I say I will continue tomorrow. Anyhow since I am paying 159/mth... I will just go for a 10 mins jogging and 50 mins in the sauna. Must make full use of it.

-----THE END-----

GYM

I decided to sign up for a gym membership. I need to continue exercising for my own health (My cholesterol level is slightly high), for my marathon preparation, stay in a good shape and actually because I like it. I think exercising has helped me in many ways ie; reducing stress, be more focus, feels good, self satisfaction... 

I started my first session today, and now my body is all aching. Nevertheless, I am glad, because I can work out without worrying about the weather, polluted air etc, since it is done in a controlled environment. I have 2 free sessions with personal trainer, and he is showing me the right way of using the equipments, and proper workout method. After that, I will be all on my own.

I signed up for a 2 years contract. I dont know whether I am going to stay here for 2 years, but as far as i seen, there is a big chance of that to happen. I guess I have to make fully use of it since I am paying RM 160 monthly. Hope to see some mucles too... not a bulky one, just a lean type... bukan sia mau jadi body builder pun.

Tomorrow will be my first working day in my new company. I have no feeling nor expectation. This is very different compare with my previous employers (Two to be exact), where I found myself nervous and felt uncomfortable meeting peoples around. Things like having frens, capable of doing job, good bos etc.. did not bother me much as it did on me last time. So wish me luck... :)

A New Week

I've arrived safely in KL last Sunday. Journey was quite fun and good as two friends of mine (Frankie & Clarice) were together with me. We spent a night together before both of them left to Penang. Before that, we managed to meet up for a light drink with Bran, Guz & family, and Alex.

Eventhough tired, but I was happy because I did not feel alone travelling from Penang to KL. I used to drive alone for many times.... And I tell you, It was really tiring to have to drive alone all by yourself. So, my gratitude goes to them! (Jan melebi minta puji ahh.. kasi makan kamu taie...kakaka)

For the first 2 days here, I felt lonely [Instead of horny :)]... I cant explained what I had missed behind. Of course I forgot a few things which is my vacuum cleaner, my engine oil which I purposely left behind and only came to realize that I should bring it back here. (Mahal bah tuh barang .. hehe)... But i felt lonely. Was it because of my friends leaving me? Was it because of the new evnironment again? or was it due to my free time? I dont really know.

I used to think that everything will be easy for me. I used to think that I belonged to be here and has made a right choice. But, during last 2 days, many things crossed over my mind. I realized that I was so attached to my daily routine in Penang. Jogging after work, cooking for dinner, more privacy, out with frens every friday nights etc.... With all these things flashed back into my mind.... the thought of me, making a wrong decision haunting me back.

Anyhow, I knew and I am very sure deep inside me that I was all right. My decision is the best for now and for my future. I just need to adapt again. I just need to adjust myself being away from the comfort thingy, which I guess I will no longer enjoyed like when I was in Penang. Some more, my decision was not solely on my own jurisdiction. I prayed, I pray hard for guidance and I have faith on the path that I have chosen to go.

Now, I have no idea of what is waiting for me in my new employment. I dont know what to expect. But as I always do, expect the least and just go for it and survive. Being observant and make the right move is always the key.

Now, I am back. Sitting in the room I used to sit, looking away the very same view from my window. Even though evrything remain the same, but I am not the same person  who used sit here a year ago. I am expecting a lot more things in life. And I am not running away from it.
