Life in DNA

Compared to last year, this year lacks two things which I love.

First and foremost, site visits are reduced significantly.

This time I only gets to go to 3 sites, which is not that interesting.

First site is...well...see for yourselves

Get what i mean? there is not even a roof there. freaking hot! and fml i didnt put on sunblock that day.

2nd site is still ok..

It's a facade uplifting whc karen n pc did last year.

Now it's almost done.

Forever Living building..

I quite like the orangey red peforated panels...but sadly the client don't like..so we changed it to green + gray. =(

And last visit is not really a site visit.

The boss wanted the juniors to go measure a house for renovation works and asked them to bring a senior along.

Pc is nowhere to be found, and Cynthia is busy so all left is me.

Simple measuring only. Got a bit fed up bcos my partner is kinda...well i dono, even a mere 0.3cm also need to measure. But still I round it up *shrug

After that I just gossiped with Julie at one corner and watched the others measure muahahaha~

That's all. pathetic right?

Site visits is always my favourite bcos time passes quickly.

second will be model making.

This time no model making T_____T

bcos we have 17 trainees so the younger ones get to do it. *stomp feet

What I love most will be free lunch of course!

all waiting for huge butter prawns! *slurppss 

Then we have presentation.

fml. 

All trainees have to present one of their school project that day.

And since all my individual work sucks and is not presentable, so I choose to present my KKB masterplan. clever right? muahahaha~

But I sucks in presenting also bcos I kinda forget everything already.

oh well..

After free dinner (yay), Ar. William showed us his thesis work..which is like sooooooo many years ago?

he can draw/sketch so well. T_______T

IF i can draw so well then i no need use sketchup dy wahahaha

After presentation...and also Cynthia last last day in DNA.

My only pics with Cynthia.

so funny haha

We also have our annual photoshooting...

Hai it's me. hahaha

Everyone! Trainees at the back and staff at the front

Boss-boss sekalian with the 3-legged dog =)

=)

lunch-mates

happy DNA-ians

zombies attack!

I'm coming.......*zombies moaning

Our lunch van...we all look like pendatang asing inside it


This is actually my favourite time.
LAst year i used to bring my own lunch bcos pc, david n karen all bring theirs.
But this year I opt to go out with the others for lunch.
And I didn't regret it bcos this time we're all much closer.
Most of them are old trainees which I didn't get to know very well before.
And they're fun! =D

my life savior

Intern life is the time when I consume the most sweet in my life.
And I love malties! I finish one packet per day fml.


I'm sick of sketchup. really.
But I welcome autocad anytime. but not section tq.

I had to help re-draw this apartment in Muar.
Bcos her finished file corrupted. fml.
In UTM u can only mourn for ur loss if ur file corrupt. In office, u can just simply appoint one trainee to do it for u. fml haih

but satisfied when everything is finished. 


I dono if it's me, I always have to feel of 'dono where to start' when doing sketchup.
and I have to drag it for at least one whole day only I can start to proceed

After finish, she asked me to export animation. fml
the process of capturing scene is headache bcos the file is huge.

and I have to bring home to export the animation

And guess what, boss say there are some changes on the design.
so...animation no use dy.
and have to recapture the scene.
FML.
but in the end i only help to finish up the 3D.
bcos I told the assisstant that my laptop is toooooo lag to capture scene. muahahaha


Did another 3D.
Helped Jun Xin this time.
to mirror a part of the house.
sounds easy but I have to delete the whole thing and redraw agn to be faster.
I hate sketchup!

LAst 3D will be this Penang Condo again.
and it's only a few min after i finished the muar apartment 3D then jun xin and the boss come to me and ask if i finished my work already.
their timing is sooooooooo perfect so I no choice but to drag myself into another hell.
They chooses me bcos last year I ever 'touch' this project b4. T_____T

this is my final sketchup work


I have to draw ramps and basement carpark. shyt.
took me some time to figure out how to draw the first ramp bcos it's curving upwards.
But thanks to the sandbox tool, I manage to produce a presentable ramp.

And thank god working with Jun Xin is not stress at all.
He always say 'nevermind la no need too perfect', 'sui bian la' or 'u decide urself'
so I feel no pressure at all and was quite happy that everytime I'll work my timing so that once finished I will go and find him to ask for work so that I'll forever be under him muahaha

But it's not always that successful though.

The last day is my worst day I think.
Because I have to work OT.
They keep stuffing work to me. T_______T
and to make it worst, Ar William come and ask me to amend something on the penang condo again. T_______T
and the accountant thought I end work on 30th June so she didnt give me my paycheque.
so anyhow also need to return to office the next monday. fml max.

But anyhow everything is settled and I happily got my paycheque and happily passed my work to Julie to gao tim muahaha.

To sum it up, I was quite happy to have my internship here as I enjoyed myself a lot with almost on OT ( ok, only once on my last day ) , great company and environment.
Well..If you don't mind about the salary, it'll be perfect.
But to me it's worth it lah.. =D

A Tour around DNA~

This is where I had my practical training. =)

At DNA of course.

The reason why I came back for practical training is because I don't need to start all over again for my practical report. lol

Newly build office. they just moved here last year end or early this year, I dont remember.

They designed it themselves.

It's a combination of two semi-D. 

I still remember that last year during intern, this two houses is still under renovation.

And now it's done. =D

I don't need to elaborate further I suppose? as The boss already present it during Datum. 

upon entering...there is a koi pond

with koi fish inside of course...

looking from the inside

The reception area. btw I think that the secretary is pretty rich. lol. 

from another angle

The meeting room

Conference room overlooking outside which is kinda nice

the lounge 

pantry

all the trainees' pic are on that wall. haha

outside dining..?

The library

Most trainees are seated here

Did I mention that we have 17 trainees this time? 

ranges from diploma till...well...4th year. that's me n pc.

we're the oldest. T_T

architect's seats

catalogue area

and here is where the 'seniors' sit. hahaha~

And yes, I'm bragging that I have the best seat of all. 

Nobody can see what I'm doing. wahahaha~

I can see the whole office from my seat. Im the boss now. wahahaha

they uses warm lighting to give the place a more homey feeling i guess. Not really used to it.

There is this joke that Pc and I had.

He said we're like vases in a museum because we're seated at the end, separated from the others, and we rarely move from our seat.

And the supporting points are the SMC ( sibu museum ) poster which hangs behind us ( taken away after one month dy )

and the warm lighting,

and cool environment,

and sometimes, they'll put this 'soft museum music' in the office.

XD canot tahan 

ok, continue.

Let's go upstair...

printing n plotting n photostating area

architect assistants area

and the draughtsman area

That's all. 

To be frank, working here is like working in a resort. 

Even the boss wears beach wear ( Hawaii shirt, khaki pants, slippers and a sunglass on his head ) in the office everyday.

well...except that nobody serves me coconut drink. lol

In Paradise. ^^

He said he has something for me.

And when I go out of the house, I saw a bouquet of flower on my dad's car.

I was ...surprised and yet very -.-lll 

Because he gave me Heliconia ( aka Bird of Paradise ).

I never thought Heliconia can be given as flower to ur gf? *scratch head

He later told me that he actually cut it and wrap it himself. *aww~

But anyway, the bf did it.

And It did bring a smile to my face =)

I wonder if that red dragon-fruit-lookalike thing is its fruit or wat? but it's cute =)

camwhoring as usual. hee~

Googled it up, and Heliconia symbolizes joyfulness. It also symbolizes magnificence. It can also be used to indicate exciting and wonderful anticipation.

Not that it really matters bcos he gives just bcos he thinks it's nice. 

so..yeah. Thanks. =D
