Industrial Training

Day 1

well, i know it's too early to judge but really...

it's barely 10 in the morning and i am already yawning in the lab. i am really "thrilled" to spend the remaining 7 hours and 30 minutes here. the lab is very quiet and there's only 5 people in the lab, that all you will be able to hear is the sound of mouse clicks. terribly bored.

we were asked to develop an academic system for the landscaping and architecture faculty. it sounds somewhat like our database project, only harder, i guess.

but then, what makes it even boring is the fact that you are stucked right here, and not having any specific task to do, and the two coursemates you are working with are someone whom you never talk to during lecture classes. all you can do is pretend to surf the internet for more information of the new programming language that you are about to use, browsing some portals for references and looking through some tutorials which do not look like a tutorial at all!!! ok, occasionally, flipping tabs to e-buddy and blogspot to kill some boring. ya, right, not occasionally, frequently. oh, i know i don't have the right attitude and motivation.

i am not hungry but i can't help thinking of lunch break. anyway, one of the staff mentioned to us that there is only one kiosk that sell some light food, not really a cafe. so, totally not looking forward to the lunch hours, just wanna breath in some "new" oxygen.

***pause. a guy's coming over! quick change tab!!!***

ok..he's gone now...
so, he said he noticed that we (the three quiet trainees) are not speaking to each other. he thought that we come from different departments. he came over an chatted with us for a while, asking who's our supervisor and bla bla. meanwhile, i kept on [pretending to] mouse over those bold letters-PHP, to look as if i am concentrating, focusing. than this other guy came, and he said we can do whatever stuff we like today, there's no official assignments yet. so, no more pretending. anyway, they already know what we are up to.

i start to appreciate msn more now. it's nice to be able to exchange news with friends, especially the time when u are growing moss in the lab.

i think that should be enough for now. if i continue writing, i'll be able to produce a novel-length entry already with all the craps. and last word...i still wish that money grows on tree! haha
