la-la-la
missing of posts recently.. hmm.. seems like im enjoying my holiday, at least til now. BUT. one thing that ruined it all was the job bb and i had which was working in a factory. i tell you, it sucks to the max!! dun believe, can ask jocelyn who worked in THAT factory before. im sure she agrees with me! at first i thought working in a factory wouldn't be that bad.. but i was proven wrong. TOTALLY WRONG. ok, maybe not for the other factories. but for the one i worked for, it was. the very first day i started work which was 6th march, i was assigned to do a very very sucky job. together with the others, i had to place this very thin hp model on an equipment, heat it in order to let the chips melt and use smth(i duno wad it is called) to get the chips out and place them in a tray. the heat was super hot. and i mean SUPER ok.. do the job until very frustrated one lo.. cos some of the chips damn small one! smaller than a 5 cent coin. and when taking the chips out, it may be blew off. and the chips cannot be missing cos we gotta pack 50 of them to a plastic bag. initially, i thought it wasn't a big issue until i was told that we have to write our name on the plastic.. wad the hell! means we are accountable for the individual packings that we'd done. which means, if there's any missing chips, we are responsible for the loss. and so, in the midst of searching for the SMALLEST chip around the equipment area, i got burnt on my finger! so so pain... sobs.. i approached the 'leader' and told her about my wound and hoping to hear that i could stop doing that stupid task and switch to doing another. but, all i was told was "i give you plaster and glove.. should be ok.. wont be that painful" !!!!!!! not painful!! u come and try laa.. it is SUPER painful can. imagine ur finger get burnt by that SUPER HOT thing.. can cry! and so i continued doing the task reluctantly.. and i was doing at my own pace.. taking my own sweet time.. soo, the first day of work in THAT factory ended like this, with a very ugly scar on my finger. =(((
the second day, 7th march, wasn't that bad but was still quite bad. we were 'transferred' to another factory at upper thomson road.. this time, the job was so much easier. but mundane. best of both worlds couldn't be attained yaa.. anyway, we got down to what we're supposed to do after being assigned our individual tasks. i was to help do packing of handphones. and bei was doing some paperwork again, like the previous day. his job was always easier than mine and i wonder why. anyway, the aunties who are working around me were all very nice. and their conversation all very interesting one.. though they communicate in hokkien, but i kinda catch wad they were talking about.. at least, it lifted up my spirits while working.. packing the hps can be considered ok.. but after a long time, it proved to be so tiring for my arms.. but what can i do.. i cant possibly stop my job and delay the work of others.. cos it works like a line. as in each individual is responsible for one specific task and after doing her job, the thing is passed to the other and she continues her part.. so tell me how can i stop!! i was already feeling super super tired and arms are aching but i just cant stop. oh my.. what i abhor about the factory is their policy of having their workers to work til the time THEY want and not out of their workers' willingness. and OT is a MUST! i have never come across any company that demands a mandatory OT of ALL workers.. but only that factory. so so so unfair! its like, workers can go home only at 730pm after slogging their body, mind, and soul out for over 10 hours. although the official after-work time was set at 530pm but it seems like the factory forever got projects and needs to rush the 'production' til late night. sometimes, they even work til 11pm. what the company think of humans? we are not robots you know?! super pissed with this thinking and mindset of the supervisor there that ALL of the workers had to work til that late. i was told by an auntie that they wont hire people who cannot work OT. i think the company should go and review why government had implemented the 5 day work week. the workers work til 7pm then go home, where got time for family? worse for those who got children! how can!!! totally disregarded their workers' welfare and this is wad made me hate it so much. and i couldn't bring myself to work for THAT supervisor. attitude problem! enough said about this. im so glad bei and i need not work for them anymore. YAY!
had our TA01 class chalet from the 7th to 9th, which is today. it was fun =) thanks to all those who turned up and made this chalet possible. and also not forgetting those who forked out time to come for the bbq though they couldn't stay. THANKS GUYS AND GALS! the guys were basically playing PS2-winning eleven. they super hardcore laa!! and once they start, they cant stop! and the noise generated from all their hoo-haas can be so painful/unpleasant to the ear. weilong seriously need to go for tone-down-volume classes!! haha.. always talk AND laugh so loud duno for what.. bei came to look for me on the 2nd day though the journey is like damn long.. thanks so much boy.. much appreciated =))
