Last Day of Internship in KCYS

WHILE I was packing and tidying up my stuff in the office, boss KC came to me and asked if I can read Chinese. I told him yea and he took out a Chinese book and passed it to me. Boss said it was a little something for me.

I looked at the title and it says 创意是训练出来的 (creativity through training). I flipped through some pages and found out that the vocabs are not too difficult for me to read and understand. I guess I will spend some time reading the book. Afterall, the boss is too nice already. Well who knows, I might find something interesting inside.

Now that I have finished my practical training and don't have to worry getting up early in the morning, what is the next plan??

A Gift From KCYS

FINALLY after undergoing eight weeks of my practical training in KCYS Architects, today is my last day of work. Weee~~ I do learn a lot things my colleagues and bosses and most importantly they are good to me.

Initially I was thinking of working in a big architecture firm cz I thought it should be nice to have many people working together but now I find that working in a small (or medium) firm can be quite exciting and fun as well. I think what attracted me when I first came for interview was the cosy environment of the office.

Anyway, time flies. Yesterday my boss KC handed me a little souvenior after I asked him to sign some documents for me. I was surprised!

 

He told me, it was designed by one of our colleages

Ahh, I do not know how they make this

 

But I LOVE it! So cool!

Thank you KCYS

There is something nice that I wanna share. Check out the video below! Have a nice Friday =)

Internship in KL

HELLO people! It's been a week I started my practical training. The firm that I am working is located at the IOI Business Park, Puchong, I am working in an architecture firm called KCYS Architects. There are around 20 people in the office including three bosses: KC, CY and YS. Thus, KCYS. =)

The office entrance

Every morning I am traveling to work by taking the MRR2 (Middle Ring Road 2) which is always congested on the other side, luckily, and the Bandar Kinrara way to get to Puchong. The journey takes around 40 minutes drive. Red.fm is the channel keeps me entertain along the way.

Surprisingly, in the firm that I am working, there are quite a number of staff who are ex-UTM students. Few of them still remember long serving lecturers like Apai (PM Jaafar) and Ar Hong.

During lunch break, I'll follow my colleagues for a meal at the nearby area. Puchong has A LOT of things to eat I tell you. I wonder if I am able to try all the places to eat before I left the firm in two months' time.

 

As I am the only trainee in the firm, I was asked to handle simple project and some minor tasks. The other day, boss KC asked me to go to the local authority office in Petaling Jaya and Shah Alam to have the drawings checked. All the plans and drawings have to be checked then approved by the town planner before proceed to further steps.

Here are some of my course mates internship experience: Hui San, Jenny, Jean and Anis.

As for me, I prefer going outdoor than staying inside the office, looking at monitor screen of AutoCad and Sketchup. Right now, I am working on a banquet hall design in Kajang, with assist from a staff, who happens to be a UTM graduate in 2004.

Hope it'll be a good internship experience in these 2 months' time!
