Enjoying 3 Weeks of Freedom

While waiting for my SIT results, I have 3 weeks left to enjoy being a trainee without jotting down anything in my logbook. This practically equals Heaven for us trainees.

Been busy on my current QHSSE Project: Safety Induction Video. We're revising it in conjunction with the new arrival of SRCPD's Managing Director. We decided to reshoot most of the scenes since the last one was probably back in the early 2000's.

It was such a good experience, being able to learn not only about the plant, but videoshoot it as well to give a glimpse of SRCPD to visitors. Usually they hire external professionals to do the job, but due to some financial issues SRCPD has been facing for the past few years, they decided to thrust the project to a few newbies. 

I love meeting people from Security, LOBP, PDI, Operations, Contractors, etc to make this video full of a variety of shots. I even got to take awkward selfies along the way: 

Yeah, just passing the time.

Safety trainees ;)

Even though this project has been consuming my life for the past couple of months, we're this close to finishing it by end of May, Insyallah.

No difference huh? LOL. But at least I've been busy. Though I haven't been reading as much as I wanted to, lately. The downside of being busy.

I believe when undergoing your internship, you do as much project as possible in order to expose yourself. This project might not be engineering-related, but I consider myself lucky to have been exposed to so many areas in the plant because of this video project. Everything has a hikmah behind it I believe. Allah always knows best :)

May the next remaining 2 weeks of my sweet free time be put to good use. 

Have a happy weekend!

Internship Life Phase 1

I recently presented my Student Industrial Internship (SIT) for UTP in front of my lecturer last Thursday. When it was over, I felt nothing but gratitude for the endless work experience and life lessons I've learnt in QHSSE, SRCPD. It isn't easy to land yourself in a department that trusts in your capabilities and are willing to guide you when you've screwed up or made mistakes. It's even harder to arrive in a place where love and respect are spread all around in the comfort of laughs and smiles.

Days before my presentation, I was nervous and insecure of the jobs I've been handling for the past 12 weeks. I was afraid that it wasn't as 'engineering-related' as the lecturer hoped it would be. But Alhamdulillah, he was quite pleased with what I contributed and pleased to find myself engaging with most of the staffs to gain experience.

Me during before the presentation. I swear I wasn't zoning out!

Now that Phase 1 is over, in 4 weeks time I'll move on to Student Industrial Project (SIP) where I'll actually have to do something related to my course. *Gulp*

Asides from that, we said goodbye to SRCPD's previous Managing Director Dato' Rozano Saad 2 weeks ago. A friendly, but firm fellow. I wish him all the best in his next achievement in life. God I wish I could be like him some day, Insyallah.

You know he's cool when he's willing to take selfies.

Other than that it's been one heck of an exciting week for me. Endless visits to plant to see safety practices and joining the OMLT Turun Padang in conjunction with the arrival of our new MD, Amir Bakar. He insisted we go to the plant and do a gotong royong to clean up the place.

We trainees had more fun than one might think one might have while picking up rubbish/wastes. 

I swear the days have been nothing but sun, clear skies and heat!

Here's to the next phase of internship and may it bring more memories, lessons and acts of kindness & forgiveness along the way ^^

With the rest of the safety trainees, Syafiq & Adib

MPH BOOKERVILLE Experience

So I've been looking forward to this book fair for the past couple of weeks. MPH rarely holds book fairs, and it claimed millions of books with irresistible discounts up to 50-90% off. 

Which booklover wouldn't go nuts over it?

So I went with mom and bro to Putrajaya Internation Convention Centre,

First time using Waze to get there.

When we arrived, I was so excited! Books EVERYWHERE! A booklover's dream place to be, I must say. I started rummaging through the endless bookshelves of books looking for the rare yet cheap find.

Excuse the horrible quality of photos, my iPhone wasn't cooperating well in the large crowds. 

Endless shelves of books! 

The sea of people who swarmed PICC was shocking, but I think Big Bad Wolf had bigger crowds (not that I've ever been to one)

However, exciting as it was to see so many books in one place, I was very Disappointed in the prices. MPH boasts about books as low as RM5, but most of them were only 15-20% off! Books ranging from RM5-RM25 were very limited and so few. And books with 45% off only consisted of children books and cookbooks.

SIGH.

But after lots of digging and surveying the racks multiple times, I am quite pleased with my finds. Only costed me around RM150 for the 5 books. 

Stationaries were an adorable addition to my collection hehe

Glad I did find some good finds and using mom's CIMB card we got additional 5% and rebate RM5 voucher for each RM50 spent. At least that was worth it ;)

Hope you enjoyed your weekend! 

I'm off to finish off my impossibly high stack of books now.
