Time To Get Down And Dirty!

Good Day People!

Arif Fauzi here, reporting for duty!

As most or none may know, I've started my practical training these week. For the uninformed, practical training is where students are made to work with companies of their liking (or whomever willing to take them) for a period of 3 months. During these periods, students will be forced to indulge themselves in working in a real work situation, where deadlines are expected to be met and tough decisions are made. So yeah, thats kinda how I would like to describe it, thus the usage of the word practical, finally putting those theories thought by the likes of Prof. Abang and Ir. Azlan into practice. The consequences of failure and negligence is very real! Therefore, one have to take pride in the work itself.

And so there I was, in a regular Monday morning, finally woken up and dressed to impressed (kill would be wrong, as I'm trying to leave an impression!). Took me about 40 minutes to get to work, as I was still trying to familiarize with the roads that lead to my office in Wisma Goldhill, which is situated in Jalan Raja Chulan. It's a well designed building... but don't take my word for it, have a look!

My office is situated in the 17th floor, though written in the business card it's the 23rd. The company is called APL Asia Sdn. Bhd. A consultant that deals with Turrets that are used in the Oil and Gas industry, but that will be a story for another day ;-). There, I met with Karen, who is from the Human Resource Department, and Sharon, who is the secretary of the company. Very wonderful people, awfully polite and making me feel very welcome.

I was later brought to my cubicle, expecting nothing more but an empty table. How wrong I was, it was fully equipped with a computer! And it's a Dell! Good god! It's amazing! Already I feel right at home! It's so amazing that they provide so many equipments. It must mean they expect nothing but the best from their employees, which I hope i can meet their expectation.

Later i was introduced to everyone in the office but most importantly, to my supervisor, Deepak. He will be assisting me in the next 10 weeks on my task. He is the Head of the Structural Department. The structure of the organization is amazing! That is really all I can say because I'm not sure how much I can divulge to the public. I sure will do, If allowed, by my superiors..

As any first day would be, It became more and more hectic as I was given a safety briefing on the safety procedures of the company in case of an emergency. Well, to put it simply, just go down and save yourself if you don't feel comfortable. No, really!

I gotta say, when i finally came to my cubicle to sit down, here came another task in reading a guideline. It was a task that might take the whole period of me being there. Enthusiastically, I am looking forward to the next few months, where I will have my challenges. Hopefully, I can make it. Pray to god that it's a success

Enjoy Your Practical Training Buddies!
