Friends, I almost burnt the microwave!

It's as idiotic as I always be, I forgot to fill water before sending the pasta into microwave and got away from kitchen. By the time I smell burnt, the kitchen had flooded with thick smoke. Everything in house smell burnt and the container is gone. Luckily the microwave still functional.

Sorry to my house-mates and owner of microwave, Teck Hong.

Ok, for your amusements

A Washed Chinese New Year

So after 2 years forced to stay in Melbourne for summer semesters, finally I'm able to enjoy a Chinese New Year with my family again. However, this was not an enjoyable one because of another big flood happened exactly on Chinese New Year.

Fortune enough, my grandparents' home is not affected. But the road to town was cut-off by flood. The worse, electricity was cut-off too for safety reason because another village nearby which shares the same source is flooded.

Even the new year eve "团圆饭" was cancelled because my family was the only ones that made it home on that day, by leaving our car behind and walk across flooded water. I regret that I was unable to take a photo when we walking across the flooded road as my hands were full of packages. And because of the flood, there was almost non visiting between relatives too.

This year, was the least festival atmosphere Chinese New Year I have experienced...

However, there was one thing good about that actually. Without television, computer and quite bad reception of mobile phone, everyone spent more time gathering and interacting each others. I'm this year's new year was the one I talked the most to my cousins whom I usually meet once a year. Like the advertisement I watched awhile ago: Disconnect to Connect!

Happy Genie Day!!

Another new year, another Genie Day!!!

This should be 3rd post about Genie's birthday in my blog, marking my 3rd year being a mild Genie fan...

All Hail Queen Genie!

A Hectic Day In Work..

Diagrams for easier understanding.

For few days, I have been working under the young engineer again for a new prototype test production. So today I went work casually as usually as I will just be doing some "lite" works, but soon greeted by my Ast. Manager that the Engineer I followed went M.C. today and he asked me to "look after" his station. Heck I know how and what to do!

Prototype production project will include an engineer for my company while overlook by an engineering from HP for each station. So my Initial worry was no idea how to face the picky HP's engineer. But soon it turned into a "shitstorm" when HP team arrived and told that the engineer for my station, also went M.C.!

The worst of the worst, today was the last day to get all units from my station to be done. So for whole day, I had been bombarded by management questions from the act leader, and technical questions from operators which both I had no idea at all! The worst part is when I had to rush up and make request from other department as act engineer when I know nothing at all...

There were some jerks I met, but I'm really grateful that most people are helpful knowing i am a practical engineers. Engineers from other stations helped to troubleshoot, a supervisor who wasn't in my station at all came helped to speed up operators work, and few operators that teach me things or show me directions. All actually, not a bad experience at all. This might be the day I learnt the most stuffs from my internship...
