So, this is how it feels...

Daju once told me how tiring it was to spend days doing practical training.I never got to experience it myself until I started my own practical training last week. I woke up and went to bed earlier than usual..and of course the most miraculous thing was- My precious time in front of my laptop had decreased dramatically.hahaha

I felt bad for my mom and uncle who had to send me off and pick me up from my work place..opss..forgot to mention that the company is called Kelantan Biotech Corp. It's a small company with only 10-11 workers located in Machang, about 45 minute from Pasir Mas..I feel glad though that I found this place to spend the final days of my summer break. All the people over there were nice and helped me a lot in adapting with the new environment. I was supposed to work in lab, doing tissue culture. Since the company's factory was just built last May, we were short of employees and thus I started with production. And don't be surprised that I already mastered about the company's products..heheh. We are doing on Virgin Coconut Oil or minyak kelapa dara..and from this oil, we developed new products including bath and facial soap, hair and body oil, massage oil, scrub and shampoo.

Not even a week after I started my training, the company granted me an opportunity to join an exhibition for small and medium entreprenuership in MidValley. Thanks to my 'thick face' and experiences in pennstate that I manage to help my company to attract potential dealers and agents. Even though it's very tiring, it's a wonderful experience since I got to meet a lot of nice people. For the first time I thought it would be very nice to have business cards so that I can expand my networking......

Plus, during my stay in KL, I got to meet Abe Yam, Along, Ada, Mamat and a few friends. Though the meeting was short, we talked a lot about our summer break. The chatting would go on and on for a few more days if I did not have to catch my train lol. The trip back to Kelantan was even funny. I was with my officemate, Ida, who had been a great friend and senior at work. After she got off at Kuala Krai's train station, I continued my beautiful nap..and the nap continued until I heard an announcement that the train would shortly arrive at Wakaf Bharu..and guess what?I just missed my stop!

A lot to write about work..but I'll continue writing next time:). Now I know how it feels to be working..and suddenly I miss my study days (macam la dh grad..heehhe). Thanks to Ida for letting me stay at her bro's house and get me familiarized with office...
