Playing elf
Intern at the toy factory has finally come to an end.
When I first embark in this journey, I did not have high expectations. All I wanted was to grasp a feel of the working life in a plant. Yes, get down to the dirty work and going back home soaked in sweat (well, that does not happen everyday thankfully). This very short intern made me think - what i want to be in the coming years and which job I’m comfortable to work for let's say, at least 10 years? Yes, i can be so loyal to a job, all taurusian are. But on the other hand, i wish to be in a job which i'm given the space to expand and grow, till i blow. haha. i need constant entertainment in life. ok, i'm contradicting myself.
For the first time in my life, i'm seeing so many cars (go figure) being produced in a day. Die casts, plastic parts, wheels, windows are scattered everywhere. i was first placed in the vum department. Aluminum is used to make the cars shimmer, lots of machinery. Humans are so over spoilt these days. The world is dying. Who cares? Moving on, i laid my hands on tampo (printing of designs) which i get to mix paints and solvents like a 3 year old kid. Trying to get the correct solvent can be tiring. But the outcome was worthwhile. As always. And those designs are actually done by acid etching? It's exactly like potato crafting! hahaha. I got bored of playing with acids and moved on to play with dirty water. Yup all the flocculation and coagulation, maintaining the zinc and COD level and wtf. Dirty water, smelly place, yup loving the dirty work.
My thoughts ran wild working here. When i was figuring how difficult racking cars on spindles it can be (i was so wrong or i'm just dumb), an operator, with hands covered with metal dust, turned and said jokingly," luckylah kamu, dapat belajar dan tak payah buat kerja macam ni." Staring at the moving conveyer, i couldn't even return her with a smile (like i always do). Thinking of how blessed I am could not stop the bleeding pain for these less fortunate. No more complaining from me i tell you. Nil. Zilch.
I've made lots of friends here. People who care and work hard to make ends meet. People who have worked too long and become stagnant. People who are fresh and ready to be moulded. Heck care the pay i receive. The experience was extraordinary.
ps: and yes, i am insane. Filling up my 4 (hahahaha, told you) months holiday in a beautiful place in europe and a plant with paints, dust and 3 thousand people was a great combination. Aww, i miss my margarita with a lot of salt.
pps: now i know why i'm so rebelious and PASSIONATE (like all Rysians, *proud*, aww i miss the ppl ):), cos i play with toys when i'm young, and i play with passion.

Went to club with my bro and gang last night (today to be exact xD). Well, the place was definitely not as huge as where i sing a pore but it was nice and cozy. Clubbing is not really my cup of tea. But i always enjoy it when clubbing is with great company (you know who you are,hee). i just miss the crazy dancing through the night, i supposed.
dancing away (:
