Rag Diary Week 1

day 1 18.05.2009

• briefing
• ice-breaking game
• tin cans washing

while washing tin cans,

Chung siang actually took off his shirt

a management level guy, Jeffrey came

then he asked him, “you don’t mind i take off my shirt, right”

“i don’t mind as long as the girls don’t mind”,

replied Jeffrey, looking at me

“nope”, i said.

thinking that i don’t mind as long as it’s a hot guy..

he is…

 

if otherwise

a guy with spare tires

then i will reply that i mind actually

because i m allergic to rubber

 

i measured the height test from the mirror reflection

erm..

i slightly taller than him..

haha

 

didn’t feel very well

i think it was the stink from the cans

went back, killed 1.5 epi of Man in Charge

i thought can finish 3, all the way till 20

slept early

 

day 2 19.05.2009

went for Borch Power Tool training

the guy actually asked 1 rep from each group to demo

luckily we have enough guys

there’s no need for me to

portray my clumsiness in front of all

 

Borch sponsored one whole set of tools

and accessories each year for replacement

plus training like this

however they cut down the lunch and souvenir

 

at nite, did anti-spy measurement

cleared rag area and store

tired…

  we learned to use a couple of power tools

 

my fellow engineer, Leonard

and the instructor, mr. steven

 

it’s kinda hot around noon

cos this is a makeshift tent

 

i discovered a pair of nice Stan Smith

i like the logo underneath

 

unique grey colour

 

day 3 20.05.2009

working hours - 9.30 a.m. – 12.00 a.m.

breaks :2 hours

song of the day: Dido – Thank you

 

constructed a mini gate

all i can do most of the time is to

sweep the dirty floor, picking up objects

found a new non-dangerous, non-complicated job

smoothen wood surfaces with sand paper

i think Yu Ling is amazing

she knows so much about constructing stuffs

and use power tools like a breeze

i won’t even dare to touch any of them

 

my feet are killing me…

it’s worst than the period i worked at MP

standing from 8.30 a.m. – 11.00 p.m

save me please

 

my souvenirs

chicken little

 

day 4 21.05.2009

working hours - 9.30 a.m. – 1.00 a.m.

song of the day: Nelly Furtado – Turn off The light

 

redid one of the gate

because somebody got the measurement wrong

so two sides are not symmetry

i dared not touch the saw

maybe i will mess up the whole wood

and need redoing again

 

at nite, found stable job of gluing something

but it is spoiling my fingers

i hate spending half an hour washing my hand

at 1.00 a.m.

 

i am dying

now i really seriously consider

why am i joining this

and taking a toll

on my own life

 

day 5 22.05.2009

working hours - 9.30 a.m. – 1.00 a.m.

song of the day: Secondhand Serenade - Fall For You

 

i woke up at 6.30 a.m.

slept bck, planned to wake up again @ 7

suddenly my phone rang

it was mom

i realized i didn’t contact my family since day two

thought of sms-ing my mom yesterday

forgot again after my nap

she just wanna find out

whether i am ok

it’s already 7.30

thx for your wake up call, mom

 

today i wore ms. Stella to work

but it’s kinda hot

and when i want squat down and work

the front part got bend

sooner or later it will form

ugly crumples around there

 

i know i know

mine is not nike free

 

morning was kinda fast

did a few screwing, sanding, installation

and that’s it…

 

aftnoon session was even greater

till 4pm only

then there was an OP comms dinner

where all the 3 comms members will be

divided to cook something

 

here was where my nightmare began

our group was cooking sambal stingray

according to the recipe,

we were supposed to cut the cili padi

and remove the seed

i cut the whole pack of chilies

after one hour or so,

my hands started to feel a hot sensation

 

i soaked them in the ice water for a few times

but the pain continued

till eleven, i couldn’t take it anymore

went back

but it was even worse

i struggled for an hour or so

walking in and out to wash it with cold water

 

i applied toothpaste for 3 times,

toner, lotion, etc…

 

finally called mom and dad

couldn’t help it but cried and cried

took a big pail of water in

and continue soaking

mom suggested i eat some candy

to relief the pain

 

i felt really sorry for myself

had to call my parents in the middle of late night

and talked

 

aft that, continue soaking in water

till i felt tired n slept

 

just now during working,

apparently there were some argument going on

the engineers were not satisfied with

the redoing process over and over again

what the hell

i don’t give a damn

redo or not redo

just give me something i can do

i wouldn’t injure my self

i can do well

then i m fine with it

 

my swelling fingers..

normal, usual life
