Life of An Intern
Posted by: zorex in Day to Day

I would like to dedicate this post to all of my friends having intern this trimester:

A month has passed since we 1st talk about how each one of us will enjoy and benefit from the internship program we are taking now. Little did we know, we are become like office staff; working for 8 hours a day for 5 days (that’s if you are lucky enough not being asked to come back on Saturday).

We have different life since we all being assigned to different place for training. Those that manage to get into company that know how to utilize their skill should be thankful. Some of us are working our ass off and its not related to our study at all. I’m wondering how to write my final report and do my presentation after the end of 4 months. I can’t write that I’ve been doing data entry, moving and filing stuff, binding documents, fax documents, manage contact cards, typing some coding, meeting client and “learn” things from their discussion, fixing usual computer problem that my younger brother can do with one eye close. Frankly, we are pretty much like an office boy, we wouldn’t need a degree to perform all this task. We have heard that some out seniors did unrelated work such as photocopy, fax, filing and data entry during their internship period and this is all just part of what we all need to go through. Companies wouldn’t entrust you with important task and this is normal. Little did they know the potential in each intern. In some field, we might know more than them, perhaps more experience since we ran quite a number of big events before. Well, quote of the day: “Its wiser not to act wise”.

During this intern period, I’m a bit occupied. Seldom have my own time to do research. I felt as if I’m left behind in this one month. Much of the things I’ve learned has been a waste. I’m currently BIT Data Communications and Networking Data Entry and Comp Fixing. Much like what I did 5 years ago after I grad from high school.

Well, this is life. What can we expect? Next time when I’m a boss myself, I can also hire some intern and do the same thing on them. This is a cycle. Muahahaha….

Ok enough of whining and some pictures of my currently dog like environment. Behold my precious on my only “desk”.

My “desk” can’t take the weight of my fat precious. Have to apply some of my physic knowledge to strengthen my “desk”. Hope it can hold for 3 more months.

 
p/s:
It’s time to start working on something more beneficial. I bet a lot of my visitor are looking forward to the release of Simple CAPTCHA v2. Prototype in underway. I’ll add some new features into it as promise. But I’ll also keep the plugin as simple as possible. After all this is the main purpose of the plugin and the brand name right?

This is the 1st event I attend last weekend. Organize by students from SEGi University College. This event is not the best event I’ve attended but definitely worth praising as they have such talented bunch of students as musicians making the event so happening and successful.

Their orchestra definitely catch the audience attention; great rhythm, awesome piece of music really make me feel like going back to Beethoven era. (Ok, may sound a bit exaggerating)

Ok, here I manage to snap some pictures and its not much cause I arrive quite late and tell you a secret, I don’t even need to use the tickets I have. ;)

Ok, tomorrow I’ll try to get pics I from another event I’ve attended this Tuesday.

I’m god dog like.

O.o Why? Imagine you are being thrown around like cheap foreign labor; being thrown to different place of work cause the cheapskate boss is too stingy to hire permanent staff to fill the vacancy. No, I’m not being torture by them or being giving piles of work to be done in short period. Instead I’m being ’snatch’ (figuratively and literally) by another fela (cheapskate boss). My allowance is less than one month of my meal. Even cheap foreign construction worker makes more than me sitting inside office for freaking 4 months.

Doing other people job/wiping other people asses is definitely not fun. Cheap skate boss said I will learn more if I work there. I was thinking there isn’t anything for me to learn at all. Who is the supervisor that suppose to TEACH me stuff? Instead I was given a project to be complete without a senior programmer to guide me. Not to say I can’t do it. Doing such system for few hundred bucks of allowance? I can do much better sitting at home doing freelancing. I can earn even more if each of my visitor generate USD0.10.

I’ve decided to as much as the amount they pay me. Hello, few hundred bucks of work, what do you expect?

Update 10th June
I’m against media censorship. Whoever eaten chili will feel the spiciness. Praises will go to whoever deserve it. Anyway, I won’t disclose who I’m referring this article to and to my new reader, “WELCOME!”.

Hail Freedom of Speech!

Is it really honeymoon trimester for me? Haven’t been so free for years since foundation ended. Intern is not as fun as I thought, but at least we are free from exam and assignments and best of all, stressss…..

Who say work don’t have stress? Work definitely stressful if you are not well prepared or your boss is very demanding. Luckily its just an internship for me; so I can take my time, have a sip of hot coffee and relax while doing my work.

FYP is around the corner. We suppose to start on 2nd trimester but to ease our load and also taking into consideration that we are doing internship during this few months, our faculty has released the title just before we left. Now I’m in deep shit, need to do more research on my title and at the same time research for company I working at.

Haven’t post any pictures for quite sometime, I’ll post up some pics when I got time.

We are Unique
Posted by: zorex in Day to Day

There are nearly 7 billion people in this planet. Each one unique, different. What are the chances of that and why? Is it simply biology, physiology that determine this diversity? A collection of thoughts, memories, experiences that carve out our special place. Or is it something more than these? Perhaps there is a master plan that drives the randomness of creation. Something unknowable but dwell in the soul and presents each one of us each with the unique set of challenges that will help us to discover who we really are?

From “Heroes Season 3 Episode 25 – An Invisible Thread”

Think carefully, this is very meaningful. Taken from the season finally of Heroes season 3.
