And for all. Period.


Seriously..

So many people have been asking me this question that i've had enough.

And to those who are still wondering:

No.
I did not tag on Judith's tagboard.

Baseline being: I am not so dumb and i have got better things to do.

My Super Sunday

Have got so much to do before 4pm.

Now it's time to go to bed.

Wish you were here.

I have officially come to an end for my training.
It should be time to go back home.
But not yet.
There is so much more that i have and need to do.

Have yet to decide on the date to return home.
I guess i'm abit reluctant to do that.
Lazy as well.
Let's just see how things go.

So many things seem to be happening at once.
Be it to me or to others.
I simply cannot keep up.
I don't know if the dust will ever settle.

Life is full of surprises.
Some good, some bad.
But most catches you off guard.
The thing is i don't know if mine is good or bad.

I feel like i don't know how to deal with this.
And i don't know how not to get misunderstooded.

Aside.

Don't know where to start because i have so much to write.
Haven't had access to the internet for almost 3 weeks.
Accumulated a whole lot of stuff.
Now that i have the chance to clear them, i am lost.
Let me start with the most recent then.
ISSM & Product Launch.
It was such a grand event.
And i walked away with a new bunch of knowledge.
I was truly impressed.
Never had i been in a seminar with so many knowlegeable people.
Never did i have the chance to meet people from all over the world.
Yet, i was intimidated by the confidence and knowledge these people had.


*Table No. 10


* During the presentation

*Group participation. The preson with the tiniest handwriting gets the marker


*Those who made up Table No. 10
The ISSM lasted till 6pm.
And the product launch party started at 730pm.
It was fun.
Large white tents set up to house hundreds of people.
Each of us was served half a roast chicken with chips and potato salad for dinner.
Topped off with beer.
Music, people, laughter, fun.
It couldn't get any better.


* Team Funisi representing the Asia Pacific region.


*Everyone was anxious to have dinner
*The course of dinner
*Pre-event mingling: Jihro, Big Mike, Me, Dani.
* Active Dave (haha!)
Until the welding competition that night.
We were split into teams according to our regions.
With only a TransSteel & TransCut machine as well as scrap metal materials,
We came up some awesome stuff:
*Funisi means Fronius in Chinese.
* Trans Steel - the star of the night.
* The start of our team car.
* Scraps were all we had.
* In the process of welding the wheels.
* Incorrect demostration of welding.
* Craving our team name using TransCut.
* Our team car taking shape.
*Now we add the driver.
*How amusing. Hahah.
* Jihro fooling around.
* They decided the car was small enough to fit me.
* Other team's sculpture
* Other team's sculpture no.2
* Other team's sculpture no.3
* Other team's sculpture no.4
*I adore this sculpture from the american team.
*Team Funisi's F1 car.
* Our prize: Awarded 2nd.
* With Micheala.
* With Dani.
Friday was Product Launch Day.
* Attending the presentations.
* With Mr Kammerhuber
*He has got robot hands i swear. Perfect seam almost all the time.
* Dani said to me: " I can recognise that it's me because my face is so close to the arc"
It's no wonder his cover lens was deformed.

At the Assembly Lines

Have been blogging so much about the fun and enjoyment.
Now it's time to blog about work.
But then again, work is about fun and enjoyment too!

Was attached to the main assembly plant in Sattledt the previous week.
Started off the the repair centre learning how to repair power sources.
Then learnt about customer order processing in which i processed a real shipment back for Wilhelm.
Went on to assemble my very own welding power source (TPS 4000) from scratch.
It was like building legos.
Started with an empty cart and ended up with a complete power source.
Imagine installing my own PC boards, fitting my own wires, attaching all the different components and fixing up the entire welding machine.
I can only say it was really exciting.
After which, i got to test my power source to see if it worked.
Yes it did.
Hahah.
And we transported it to the next department for mounting.
