First week of holidays

Holidays has just begun. Not exactly if you would ask me. Counting from the buffer week until my holidays ends, it will be 7 weeks altogether. Those included 1 week of buffer, 1 week of study leave, 2 weeks of exams and 3 weeks of holidays.

To be honest, I’m not enjoying my holidays like I used to. I’ve signed up for Technical Assistant a month ago and now I’m a trainee and am required to complete a minimum of 60 hours (within 1 and a half month) of hands on training (not including workshop). Allowances of RM75 will be given to us upon completing the required hours. Those who failed to complete the minimum hours will have a slimmer chance of being qualify. Then after the duration, an in course test will be given to test our learning level – how well we understand the role of a Technical Assistant.

Being a Technical Assistant is nothing compared to a Librarian. Of course both roles are created to serve the welfare of students. As a Technical Assistant, there are much to learn such as PCs maintenance, quality check, ghosting, setting up PCs for cooperate training and the list go on. After a while, it can be a daily routine. I hate daily routine. I prefer to do different thing each day. When problems occur, it would be a challenge to solve them.

Besides that, I managed to make lots of new friends – weird ones, mean ones, shy ones, playful ones, nice ones, friendly ones, sweet ones, flirty ones and etc.

On yesterday’s meeting (Wednesday), the lab chief appointed a guy and I to organise a dinner gathering that will be held somewhere in December. Being the first time to organise an event like this, I’m absolutely clueless on how to go about doing it. It’s not easy to get everyone to agree with the plan and we can’t give in to everyone either.
