Its been a month since i came back from china, Tianjin from my Industrial Attachment. I must say, its been a been a very meaningful experience for me. Okay, the place was called TEDA (Tianjin Economical Technological Development Area). For some reasons, its just seemed like a very very big Tuas, haha. I am serious.
I was attached to the manufacturing plant of SEW Industrial Gears PTE LTD. The company is enormous man... really...hahaha for once in my life, i get to see 2000 workers under the same facility. blah blah blah... enough of the blabbering abt the techincal stuffs...
Okay wat i learnt from the experience :
1) Chinese ppl sure know how to drink. They drink those Bai Jiu (Rice wine) at almost every meal. For a glimpses of how effective Bai Jiu is... take a look at my colleagues after 3 small cups of it. I could still remember 6 of us (me, 2 colleagues, 2 boss, A GM) finsihing 3 bottles...yes 3 FULL BOTTLES of it...yukes. In fact, i puked twice during that dinner and i literally returned the food Ive eaten that night.I drank Bai Jiu 5 times and puked 4 times while i was in TEDA. Wat to do...chinese just like to drink.
Drinking BAI JIU doesnt give your hangovers no matter how dead drank you were; however, wat is so disgusting abt this wine is that the fermented rice taste will stay in the stomach for 2 to 3 days . Regardless of wat you eat, ur burp will smell of Bai Jiu.....
2) The chinese like to spit. It is so bad that they even spit on tiles in shopping complexes... yukes
And believe me, its a national habit and its unisex hahaha....
3) The chinese talents that Singapore claimed to have attracted are actually 3rd-grade. According to my colleague, he said that the most capable chinese are actually taken away by Communist Party, followed by the next wave of talents that will persue their studies in USA. Then comes the batches that will end up in different parts of the world. Hmmm... interesting insight to the Ah Diongs here... hahaha
4) The world is so bloodly different from studying. The politics, the socialising, the learning are way way different from wat one will get in schools. I know nuts abt gears let alone industrial gears... so i had quite a torrid time trying to figure out the chinese names for the different parts and also to familiarise myself with the industry.
5) I learn to appreciate home where all my frens and family are around. They are the ones that will support me through my worse times.... And finally, i understood the need to get a career and wat kinda person i need to spend my life with. 8)
My IA is ending soon ... 4 days more... wooohoooo....
Back to school soon... gotta study quickly and come out to work man...
Cheers
