-PART 1-
It's a very happy period
and all happened just after graduated from upper form 6.
I went to interview with bro Jeffrey.
End up only I got into this company,MSA..
but then Jeffrey got into another company
which gives more pay than mine.
..lol..
Ok, it's so tough because everything I did was twice.
(1) I went S'pore to do body check-up, for two times.
P.s. My X-Ray scanned improperly, so I went there again after my first check-up.
(2) I went S'pore Tanjong Pagar Complex where the Ministry of Manpower's branch is, to do work permit. I went there twice.
P.s. I was just too honest to tick myself on having chronic asthma (when I was a baby, like most of the babies had been) in my health report. MoM's staff wanted me to request a confirmation letter from HR department of my company. So I went to HR, took the confirmation letter, so when I collect my work permit I will need to hand the confirmation letter to the officer.
(3) I went S'pore twice just to take my work permit.
P.s. I was just too blur because I brought the confirmation letter without the important registration form to Tanjong Pagar Complex. Hahaha! Then I went there alone another day, I brought every forms. A funny thing happened is that I asked people on the street about how to go to the building for collecting work permit, they showed me the way to the west where MoM Tower is, which is the main branch. I stepped inside, asked for it, staffs said I should go to Tanjong Pagar Complex. Then I headed back to the east, where I started my journey.
SUMMARY:
Finally, I got my work permit. Damn...
-PART 2-
It's an unforgettably happy one.
I will never get them outta my mind,
unless I loss my memory accidentally.
All went on because of one target..
That is,
I wanna try my best to earn RM 15,000 in 6 months
and the fastest way I thought was working in S'pore.
There, I went for it.
So I got it.
As an evidence, though it's privacy,
.jpg)
At least, I had achieved my goal ! Yay~
SG$ 7343.19 is total earning of 5 months.
6th month's salary was withheld by HR department for tax payment.
After summed up is around SG$ 8500.
As deductions..
Tax payment SG$ 1315.
Bought all my needs for Uni's use..
I left.......
..lol..
it's really lol..
End up, I find myself so spendthrift. Damn...
-PART 3-
I have found so many friends, but..
can our friendships last forever?
Honestly, I forgot some names..
I won't talk about what is my work,
because it's just simply a work
which robotic cows would like to do, so-called oven guys.
Robotic means repeatedly and cows mean heavy-duty..
so we are the robotic cows.
Let's talk about the people there.
Commonly,
First, realistic.
Second, competitive.
Third, kiasu.
Fourth, bearable.
Additions for us, the oven guys,
i. Funny
ii. Cocky
iii. Playful
iv. Kind
Damn difficult to describe the tough but happy times...
How could tough and happy come together?
Well, I've tasted it, haha~
At least, it's now a past of my life.
A splendid one.
But BullShit......
it caused my two fingers bend,
and it seems like unrecoverable.
-PART 4-
The places were not fun,
but with friends around..there were more than a lot.
Some special things that I won't forget..
1) I had found SG$ 5 on the floor in my workin' area.
Then I treated my friends for drinks, haha~
2) Kak Tina ever treated me so good, she bought a cake for me,
because I helped her found out her "Vacuum Pen". On my last day,
she bought me a cake again. That was yummy~
I ate with smile on my face and a touched heart was beating.
3) I had been late for few times, but not more than 5 times.
Everytime, I rushed like hella. JB custom is so big.
I won't forget, how tired I rushed, and how tired I had been,
when I ran from the north part to the south part of the causeway.
And, because I ran, I caught up my factory bus.
As Milo and Germany in worldcup 2010 shown, Just Go Further.
Then I did it. Haha!
4) How prideless was I when the engineer was scoldin' me..
bcoz I did know I got nothing to do..
with a man who had at least achieved something.
so I apologized with a smile,
on my teary eyed face.
Cheer.. babe.
5) Some events that I joined..(will be posted with photos)
6) How was the tiredness felt like..
slept at 11 and woke up at 3..
worked for 12 hours a day..
3 or 4 days a week..
7) My fellow friends who we ate together all the time..
we played..
we laughed..
some quarrels happened among those china men and indians..
haha..
that's how life looks like.
Thanks for giving me such experiences..
I appreciate them so much.
I was really happy..
wish you guys all the best.
Take care yea!
End up, one last thing I did twice again..
Was the procedure of returning my employee pass.
I went down to the safety guards counter at 1st floor,
to give them my pass and they said,
I should bring along a form which..
my supervisor didn't give me until I went back at 3rd floor..
to meet him again and requested from him.
Then, went to 1st floor, afterwards returned to work again.
At 3rd floor...
zzzZZ..
so tough yet happy..
..lol..

The place where Ah Liang, LG and I always chatted at..
There were several ovens that I love to work on them..
Oven #0507 n' Oven #0400..
Oven #0700 n' Oven #1019..
Oven #1108 n' Oven #0811..
All because..
above the ovens there are Air-Conditioners..
So damn relax when working on these ovens.
Testin' my hp's secondary(3G) camera.
Okay.. they are my friends:
Jiang Tao - D shift China oven guy
Jiang Tao, I loved to talk to him personally.
When we were working together in opposite ovens..
we sit "in" the oven and we talked..
how kiasu is people..
how petty is people..
how cocky is people..
hahaha..
But honestly, we actually don't know how we are kiasu, petty and cocky.
Haha!
I enjoyed the time being with him.
He can write chinese poem.Even songs..
and he is really knowledgeable.
At least I asked him to teach me how to be in love and
what is the feeling of being in love..
his first love story..
and more and more and more...
Thanks
Fred Hu Guang Hui - C Shift China oven guy
A super duper hardworking china guy after Jiang Tao.
He can everyday do more than 100 ovens..
The way he sacrificed his physical energy and mental energy..
for shift's outputs..
really nice to be learnt.
Ah Liang n' Jiang Tao
Ah Liang Ko, my Dai Ko in MSA.
So funny and caring.
He took most cares of me compared to others.
My shift's two indians love to make fool of him very much.
Always disturb him..
Copy his patent..
the way he walks..
the way he smokes..
the way he talks..
haha!
Sometimes I felt sympathy..
but I still laughed..
becuz that two indian guys are really funny,
especially Jirva.
Haha!
Oh ya,

At BBQ event, we drank, some drunk..
but he wasn't, and Muru also.
I won't drink with them anymore, ever.
Haha! They are too PRO!

Kee What my lead, helped me not less than a million times.
We usually ate together in the cafeteria..
We talked our heart out..
"Thanks for taking care of me, Kee What."
2 Indians oven guys in D shift, Jirva (left) n' Muru (right)..
They look fierce but actually they are funny.
The way they joked..
the way we played..
don't judge a person by his appearance.
This is our "Output paper".
We used to record every oven number that we did on this paper,
for technician to check when there are any errors or issues.
No doubt,
3 days before my last working day,
my last time to do my output crazily.
It's 118 ovens I did in 11 hours.
Just to..
fortify my memory in MSA..
They said, "Lu gila a? Buat banyak banyak buat ape!?"
..lol..
Ah Liang Ko n' Hui Fang Jie, another lead.
Hui Fang Jie, girls said she is bias.
She treated me so well,
maybe because she treats boys better than girls.
Hahaha!

She has many shares and joint ventures.
She is a director of her photo album company.
But still, she works in MSA.
She said, don't ever stop earning money.
We must always prepare for tomorrow.
And one more thing is she wants to try this kind of work.
Non-stop trying new things..
I learnt a lot from her.
Thanks, Lam.
Li Fen, we talked not that much.
Because she worked very concentrated.
Tina Jie, she is from C shift, so we had less communications..
but she had been very protective and caring of me.

He is on his bus fetching workers already.
Arrive in MSA at 7 a.m, we (D shift) go work,

I can write an essay.
He is..my best friend in MSA.
We are like..
the same.
Our characteristics..
Our ambitions..
What we thought..
What we think..
Are always the same.
My first friend in my MSA life.
We first met at company's bus stop.
We always had our breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper, together.
He planned as I planned.
Unluckily, he got offer from don't-know-what University,
It's environment study program.
He wanted to study air craft.
but he didnt get.
After I got UNIMAS' offer,
he planned to continue working.
Guess so he is still in MSA right now..

Look after my heart,
I have left it with you.
Don't worry about me.
Because I'm so fine now.
Take care, guys.
