15-05-2008, my “maiden” site visit. Finally, I go to the landfill site after reading documents at office for almost 1 week. Before set off from office, my colleague has frighten me about my body will stick with methane smell even the day after. Oh, that’s the price I have to pay for site visit. =(

When we just step in to the guard house of landfill site, I already can feel the strong leachate smell. (I’m in the car at that moment)

But once I reach the landfill cell, the smell is not that strong and even not smelly. May be I already used with the smell, or they do well management. I hope is the latter.

For more than 2 weeks practical I have did, most of the time, I’m sitting at office and read document. My boss is kind, he is willing to let me learn, but the problem is the project is delayed. So, until this moment I still not able understand well about the landfill. Sigh. Anyway, very appreciate of his willingness and some free lunch. hehe

Today was my first day of industry practical. Well, nothing much to do for first day. I just read the proposal for whole day, bored. Some more the content of proposal is something I never study before, difficult to understand. But have two things make me feel surprised.

1. Previously I have mentioned that this company is very small scale, the office is small, and staff is less. But, today I went there then I only realized office not solely owned by my company, is share with other company as well. Wah, the size of the office mostly halve of BK101 only, still need to share with other company. So, can u guys imagine how super small scale of the company? Besides, they also request me to bring my own laptop; reason is the office lack of facilities. Oh, my goodness….

2. Today, the boss met the entire trainee. After he asking about our background then he ask me what is my special interest. But, I’m a stupid pig, I answer him no, because not much exposure. Walao, stupid ah!!! Never mind, later on boss said: “I already have some idea about you, I arrange you to follow a senior with a project. Because you have engineering background” Wah, he looks have high expectation on me wo. (Before he came in to office he already call other staff to asking about me liao) Hopefully, he will act on his promise la, and I can benefit from it. (Should I expect this from super small scale company? =p)
