~ Grinding - Grinding - Grinding - Grinding - Grinding - Grinding - Grinding ~
~ Polishing - Polishing - Polishing - Polishing - Polishing - Polishing ~
~ Cross Section - Cross Section - Cross Section - Cross Section - Cross Section ~

First, is to practice n practice… proverb says.. < Practice Makes Prefect >… True? False? Maybe True . Now, from today onwards I be starting on Actual Units.. Need to handle with care, keep reminding myself not to spoil or break these units.. SMALL - TINY - MINI fragile units…

Basically, my job scope is quite specific.. So “specific” that I be doing the same thing for maybe one month; same process EVERYDAY… Is this call “PENGKHUSUSAN” that we learn in KH ? LOLX>> Doing it everyday is ONE thing… Doing it with PATIENCE and CAREFULLY is another thing… Chinese proverb says “ 铁磨成针”… (=> meaning to now grind a metal rod until it becomes a needle ) After 2 weeks of training … I understand the meaning WELL…

Today those “Boss Boss Boss” are in my department, the Quality & Reliability Lab. HaHa…When the boss is around, everyone seems to be so discipline.. Make sure that we do not make mistake or violate the rules.. Put on the ESD ( Electrostatic Discharge ) equipments ; PPE ( Personal Protection Equipment )Including me.. I was so afraid when he stood beside me and look at me doing my work. However, after he start to talk to me “ Are you new here?” .. “Yup, I am the new trainee in this department from UNITEN”.. We start to chit chat a while.. He is actually quite friendly to talk to.

He promised to bring me and other trainee around the factory to understand better about the production of the company. At least, we are not stuck in the SAME place the whole internship duration.. Else, ITS BOooRIiiNnnG !!

MONDAY BLUES
Ever come across the word “ MONDAY BLUES “??
Do you understand WHAT is means??
If you do, do you know HOW it feels??
Dear friends doing their intern now or did their intern before, I guess you all know it well..
For those who don’t know, you’ll get what I mean when the day comes…
XXXXXX
Weekend;
Saturday;
Sunday;
Its just NOT enough..
Don’t you agree?

@@@@@@
When we are in school, We envy people who work ;
We cant wait to graduate and get rid of studies, exams, assignments, projects...etc;
Now that We are graduating soon, We like to stay longer in school, in uni ;
We count down days , Academic years left to go.
This is life,
This is Human,
This is Us…..

¬ LET'S GET IT STARTED ; LET'S GET IT ROLLING ¬

Finally, my briefing ended today. Today for the first time I enter the place I am suppose to work, Failure Analysis Lab under Quality & Reliability Department.

My supervisor introduced me to all the staffs in the lab and brief me on each function of the machines and devices . Being expose to those machines, it was like ‘WOW, Engineering ROCKS..!!’ Hehe..

I started on the first procedure of my individual project today. I put in 30 WLCSP ( Wafer Level Chip Scale Package ) into the oven to stress it. These die are very tiny that I need to inspect it under a very high power microscope. More to learn tomorrow on grinding, polishing, I-V curve tracer…

But one thing, we are not allowed to snap pictures inside the company plant !! Gosh ! What I have to attach in my report and presentation later?? It can’t be all words…. If use curi snap.. I am too timid to do that, what if I got caught and terminated? OH NO ! I don’t want to retain one year….. Hope I will get the permit to snap some pictures for my report purpose.. <-@-@->.

¬ First Day of Internship ¬


Final Exam Ended, Internship Started.

7.30 in the morning on 5th April Monday, I got out from my aunty’s car and off she left me alone at the main gate after making a U-turn. ‘Hey, aren’t you gonna accompany me until the HR person in charge pick me up from the guardhouse??’ She wind down the window and said ‘You can handle it yourself.’

With a helpless look on my face, I look at her car driven away further n further from me. Hmmm, I took a deep breath and walk towards the guard house.

How’s the working environment and working culture in this company? Are the people there nice and friendly? Question marks start to pop in my mind.

Basically, the first two and half days I went for so called orientation and briefing. Not many people attending this briefing, there are only less than 10 of us AND I am the ONLY trainee ! ALONE ! OOOoooo.. (T-T).. I don’t like to be alone..

Back home at night, I get to know from facebook post that many people spent their first day waiting too but only gone through very short briefing. Perhaps each company has different ways of doing things.

These two days we are expose to general knowledge on how to protect components from damage, individual safety and company rules and regulations. We are also given short questionnaires to test on our understanding too.
