Today as I was walking back with Lee after our work, we saw Derrick!! Yes we saw Derrick’s name!! His name was on the billboard!!

Well we are supposed to be back here to do our industrial training. Doing some thing that is related to what we are studying. Well, Derrick is studying the same thing as me; this means he is doing his training that is relevant to civil engineering.

But it turns out now that he is better than us, by doing hair styling. Those who know Derrick (a.k.a. Vincent Tan’s son) wears a cap almost where ever he goes!!

Irony...

Loong Wei and Derrick

One week has pass by since my first day working in the office as to fulfil my industrial training. A lot have happen since the first day, for getting stuck in the usual morning Kuala Lumpur City traffic (took us 1 hour to travel 20km!!) to falling asleep while doing our reinforce concrete design. All this happen in this week.

The weekends were the days that I was looking forward to as it’s for resting and doing the things that I like and that are meaningful.

One of the “breakthrough” I achive in the first weekemd in KL was that I went to Ikano Power House!! Yeah.. It’s my 1^st ever stepping my foot into the place. I was the first time I got a preview of the shear size of One Utama shopping complex!! So huge, and the superstructure stretch from one end of the expressway to the other. I saw it while we were driving pass it as we made our way form SS2 to Ikano.

Curry here I come!!

Aiks..

Umm...

Ann Nee, John and Me

Internet.. Yeah!!

Oh ya, Ann Nee, John Ho and me myself was there. Sad for a city dweller such as me who loose to John as this was his second time here!! Cheh~~!! The main purpose of going there was neither to buy any house whole stuff nor to eat in The Curve but to get connected online! Cause John and Ann Nee was disconnected for the pass one week. That is just an intro purpose why we were there, wait till you here what I’ve to say next.

Before were made our way there, we got ourselves nasi lemak form the stall outside where they stayed. Which cost us RM4.50!! we ate the packed of rice outside the Ikea Café. Thank God no one came to halau us away..

On the Phone with Ah Lee..

Tired day~~

Anyway to cut the story short, we went to Starbucks to surf the internet as they have power pot there for their laptops. While they were getting connected, I wonder to a hardware shop and there I just look and look at the tools and stuff they have to offer there (I’m a but wired, as people reads novel, I enjoy going into this hardware shops :P). I wonder in the wonderland for 30-45min can’t really recall.. I got myself a S-video Converter and a AV-Cable.

I went back to join them after that and 3of us enjoyed the day even it was tiring.. oh ya, we saw Simon sign in to his MSN and chat a while…

Now is lunch time, since today is prayer day (Friday) so we get to rest longer before they come back from their morning prayer.. Anyway, I’m currently doing my internship at GJ Runding S/B. it’s located some where near the popular Ampang Point!

The 1st week is coming to an end. A lot of questions arise as I go through this “pre working life” it’s like a preview into a working life style. While I’m studying, I was looking forward to a working life, where money was the factor. But after this one week, I have a different perspective of working life.

The mundane routine of day in day out 5 days a week that is some thing to think about! The things that I’m studying now are to prepare me to become a future civil engineer. So want to waste this and go for some other field? I don’t know.. Hahaha…

Working life has its challenges. I was reminded by little angel that “do our best in what ever situation we are placed in, to perform well as this (industrial training) is a process”, as I read her message, I was reminded of my own advice, “what dose not kill us, makes us stronger”.

I thank God for this chance of leaning as experience can not be bought by silver or gold but is a gift from God. And all this experience is a preparation for something better in a later in life! And all He done is for the good of the people who love them!

²⁸And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Romans 8:28 (New International Version)

Amen!!

Err...

Ah Lee working... (looser~~)

Tomorrow will be my first day of my industrial training.. Very nervous oh… oh ya.. The place where I’ll be staying, don’t have internet. So I’ll try my best update my blog as often as I can. :P

What are the challenging thing I encounter this semester? Well it is of cause, having a car. One will find people around you asking favour and help. It’s not wrong asking for help nor is it wrong to help others, because we are suppose to bless others with the blessings that we been blessed with. What is the greatest commandment of them all? Love the God thy God with all that you are, and love others as yourself.

But it will become a problem when people around you start expecting from you as a car owner. In other words, it’s hard to be a nice person, a person who helps. Cause people will expect highly on oneself. By saying “NO” will be hard and it as if you have a “gold in your mouth”. Of cause saying “no” with the write reason and not of selfish desire such as, my car will spoil or as such. There is why one needs to discern be it the helper or the helped.

I do admit I’m frustrated as people not helping me at time, but hay is it my pride which is taking over? Did I think of the person who refuses to help me? And must he give me a good reason to say no? is it my right to ask him to help me?

This is what I’ve learn today

As I told my brother on MSN, “Learning to blame is not learning”, but getting up and walk on with God’s provision and asking Him to open up our narrow mind is learning.

But of cause God has his way in this moment of life by not escaping from it but to face it. And I thank God for this experience as experience cannot be bought with gold or silver. Not to fill my heart with bitterness, hate or judgement but to know myself more and rely on his words to change and better me.

Teach me Lord.

Lets not stop the blessing God has blessed us.

Amen!
