Second day of work today. Its simply exhausting! Not because that I was too busy but the travelling time really really kills me. To get to Jurong east MRT, I will take about 1 hour 20mins. From Jurong east MRT to Jurong Island it takes about 40 mins. That makes it 4 hours a day of travelling. Which means in a 6 days I will spend 24 hours, equivalent to an entire day, travelling.
Jurong Island is an island full of ugly cylinders. They are a worse sight than the cranes and containers at ports which I thought was bad enough.
Other than scenery, the people in the company are generally quite friendly especially the NTU interns who were then since july. And I'm very glad that my upper study is a nice guy. I wanna thank him for being so patient cos I know I am a dumb student. There are many things that I do not have a single idea about. hurhur..
The people around me seems to be speaking a foreign language. A language called chem engine language. They spout cheem cheem words out so easily and fluently. Words that I seem to have read in the textbook that I do not understand and simply didnt try to understand. I wonder if I will be like that in the future. It just doesnt seem like its a language I will be able to speak in.
Other than the people, I quite amazed at the library and the control room. The library is a medium sized room about the size of a LT that contains a lot a lot of files. To look for a simple equippment data, you have to flip a few files to find out where the information located. The library doesnt look very neat actually, but at least its well organised.
Regarding the control room, its a dim place where you can see many green lights coming out from computer consoles. It kinda of reminds of the room in cartoon where aliens drive their space ships. haha. Its very tempting to go and press a few of the buttons and change a little thing here and there. =p But its no joke and I cant do it, cos you need a key to change every little thing.
Regarding my job, I have been doing tonnes of readings. hurhur.. It seems worse than studying bcos there is no one to teach me. I simply have to read myself and learn.
Anyway my dad is out of ICU. But personally, he doesnt seem like he is well enough to come out. Actually I will very much prefer him to remain in the ICU for a few more days. At least I know that he is in better hands. Cos when I look at the ward and nurses currently, it just doesnt seem very conducive and there seem to be too little nurses to attend to the amount of patients in the ward. Besides that the number of visitors walking around are simply too much. I wonder how my dad can rest properly like that. Besides that some of nurses doesnt even look like they are trustworthy. eeeeEEEEKK. If I have the money, I will definitely change him to a better ward.
