conform?

People have been asking me how's my attachment? How's is it? Fun or not? I think this post will answer most of your questions.



Changi Airport Terminal 3 is where I report to work everyday. Well, the job scope that I'm doing now really doesn't have anything got to do with my course 'Multimedia & Infocomm Technology' (aka MIT). It's more to the engineering and automation side which will benefit my fellow attachee well. Most of the time, I've no clue what the hell they are talking about.

Transformers, power packs, UPS, VAVs, AHUs and FCSs. I seriously have to catch up with all the acronyms but I didn't really bother. Doesn't benefit me in anyway though. But the only thing is, I'm glad I'm supporting them on the software side. Which is kind of slack.

They will have to go on site if something happens, they will walkie back to me to check the readings on the system, which I'm responsible. Screw ups is not an option to these guys.

Welcome to Fault Management Centre (better known as FMC).



Well, I'm not exactly working for FMC. There's another room inside that I work in. That's I won't go into much details as I have said in the previous post.



For every highlighted item, that's 1 panel. Inside the panel, there's still the equipments like the routers and power distribution. We are supposed to clear the defects for all the equipments and at the same time do maintenance for the equipments.

But for people like me who don't know a thing about all these, I'm better off sitting and staring at the system waiting for problems like power failure, temperature alarm and offline status of the equipments.



Like what Jerry and I always say. You think everyday is a Sunday? You think everyday something will malfunction? Not everyday. In the days that we have absolutely nothing to do.



A game of Solitaire might just be the remedy to kill your boredom. Okay, maybe the word 'a game' doesn't fit in to the picture. I've completed the game at least 300 times. My fellow attachee and I are expert at it.

And when you are lucky, on a not so busy day, your supervisor might give you a short break of 10mins to let you freshen up. How do I freshen up? Internet. Bear in mind that the computers I handle everyday do not have internet access. So, the only place to go? Crystal Jade My Bread have FREE internet access.


FREE INTERNET ACCESS (gets really pixelated, oh well, don't care!)

And when we are busy, it's really stressful. The engineers wants to get their job done in time. So if you don't understand them through the walkie (which are mostly distorted and muffled) and you request them to repeat themselves. They might just lose their patience and throw tantrum at you.

I'm glad that the engineers I've met are so far so good.



After the job's done, we have to help them fill in a form for hard copy recording purposes and do a printscreen for them for software recording purposes. With all the number of equipments, I've already filled in 90 over forms and there are still, 300 over more equipments to record. Most of the jobs are already done so I can just refer to the system and record the readings.

Yup. That's basically what I do and handle everyday. There you have it.

I think zr wants me to update. But not on this matter. Hmm.. At a later date girl!


Tell me this is absurd.

A brief write up first.

My attachment ends at 30th May 2009. Our school graduation ceremoney is on 27th May 2009. I've enquired my Liaison Officer (LO) about it, she say remind her 2 weeks before the end of attachment so she can tend to this matter.
But a couple days back, I still think there's something fishy about it. So I called up one of my lecturers to enquire. I was taken aback by what he says.

'You may not graduate with your batch of students. Maybe graduate next year. Your attachment program haven't complete so it's not considered end of course.'

I was totally totally in awe and agony. What the hell is the school thinking? They set the date on purpose just to cause unneccessary distress alarm in us student? Yeah, we might have failed a module, but we did what we could do to pass every module every single remaining semester. And now this is what we get? Come on, it's just 3 days difference.

'Your LO might not be of any help. Seek immediate attention from Course Manager would be a wiser move.'

He's so hard to catch. I really hope my DTs can help me on this matter. Thanks to Jazsica for your help emailing the Course Manager. And thanks in advance to Kaiyi and Huiqin. Help me catch that guy! I know you are reading this.. THANK YOU LADIES, IN ADVANCE!
