First day of Internship

I felt so blessed to have undergo my training in CANON Malaysia.

Though the environment is not as competitive and as interesting as companies like Shell, Slumberger etc, but then at least I am the lucky ones compared to my course mates. Some of them are complaining that they don't even know what to do, playing fb or solitaires in the office etc, that doesn't serve the purpose at all! also, I believed that in every not-so-good environment, there must be someone who is brilliant and smart to sustain the growth. Thus, fret not if you're in a not-so-good environment, you can always reach out to the smart ones and learn from them. Be smart and humble enough to mingle.

I thank them for setting a training schedule for us, to make sure everyone one of us benefit from the industrial training. Canon Malaysia consists of three main production line, the manufacture of lenses, the assembly of cameras and EF lenses.We were to rotate to different divisions and departments in 12 weeks.

Also, the most important thing is, my internship company is located just 10 minutes away, how fortunate am I compared to others who need to rent a room, or take public transport to the company? I have a colleague who stays in Gombak and travel to Shah Alam by public transport everyday. That is disastrous! Another stays in Rawang. They woke up at 5.30am where I can wake up at 7am and have a nice breakfast before going to the workplace haha

Hence, I set my internship period as resting weeks too, where home is always a better place to restore and rejuvenate the energy. I wanna have better and quality food and sleep and readings during in these internship cum holidays week haha

Lesson of the day : The production of the camera is a very detailed and complicated process, the production of the lens itself needs 28 production lines, the same goes to the case, the microcip board etc. It consumes a lot of manpower. The factory workers worked closely, from the manufacturing to the quality control.Hence, always treasure things that you have bought, don't buy it if you don't need it. Don't discard it just because of a small defect, look for alternatives to repair it if it's within budget.

Also, I tell myself I must maintain my CGPA of 3.0 above every semester! to continue to enjoy the benefits of its CSR programme. Though CANON is not the most prestigious compared to the Oil and Gas , but that is the best I can do now, considering my not-so-competent CGPA and the name of the university.

2 years after the bond, I will grow from there.
