My OJT experience..


well..sedar x sdar its already 1 month ive gone through with my OJT.
time is running so fast. looking back right from the beginning, i wld say ive done nothing.
everyday is d same. i just sitting there njoy d time as much as i like. surfing d net, hv a chit chat with my colleague. sometimes it makes me bored. but i am more grateful 4 there r no task given 2 me.

so wht i like most abt my work place? huurmm..
  • geographically...i luv d location. its not too far from my house. 2 reach there, it only requires me to take a Rapid bus. cost 2 ringgit per day (go n return using d same ticket). it is more convenient than taking a train where crowded people disallow u even 2 breath!
  • structurally...my office is cool. i'll post some of d pict later in d end. my desk is located just outside of ur boss's room. of course, he can see me right through since there was only a wall of glass separated.
  • socially...all d staff is Ok, nice. there were only 6 (including boss) permanent workers. but there r 3 other practical stdnts. its not difficult 2 mingle since all of them are malay. my boss is very sporting. A doctorate yet very humble, nice, single n supportive.
  • timely...u r not too "terikat". work start at 8 since it is half of govmnt body. coming late is still un4given. but moderate..dont misused d advntge. u can start ur work in anytime. after u finish ur brkfast. theres a corner in there where everybody can lepak at d sofa n makan. basic needs like junk food r prepared by d company. dont b shy 2 finish it. time 2 go home start at 5. but normally they r all stay back n layan d intrnet.
  • freely...yup its my luck bcoz when i start my OJT there, they were in a period of having IT training 2 other deprtment. so d gd thing abt it was..our deprtment can hv "makan free" served by catering. startd from brkfast, lunch, tea time. it last abt 3 weeks. so knyang everyday. save budget..
  • routinely...like i said earlier i done nothing everyday. d pressure is 0. just sitting there, answer d phone if its needed, understand d system. only just abt d past few days, after i complained 2 my boss tht i hv nothing 2 do then he decided 2 give me a task. a simple task where i hv 2 develop a system 4 d office user. quite simple though, but d hardest thing is it shld perform PHP language. smthg which i hv not learn at all b4. my boss realize it. but he advised me to take d challenge as a part of learning. it might b beneficial 4 me in d future. just feel free 2 ask anything related. he'll guide me till i succeed.
  • lastly..wht more i can say. i am happy to hv an experience OJT in tht place. but since everything is in malay, i dont really think it is best 4 me. coz all this long i am trying harder 2 b gd in english.

Where are we heading ?

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more but enjoy it less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; We've added years to life, not life to years.


We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less; we plan more, but accomplish less.

We've learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but, lower morals.
We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; We've become long on quantity, but short on quality.


These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. Where are we heading ....?


If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family an unwise investment indeed.


So what is the morale of the story????

Don't work too hard... and you know what's the full word of family?

FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER, (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU
