Busy Weekend

4 major tasks juggling my breathe last weekend and it ends today. Fuhh~~
  • Studies
  • Practical Training (Internship) at some Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) consultant firm
  • Part time job as interviewer for NSTP
  • Band
My final semester started last week and this week is already, to the end, means week 2 is partially gone. 10 weeks left and I'm done with degree. What's next? I'll decide in June/July. I really need a break. From the last semester (commenced in August '10), after final exam, I went for my practical training at some mechanical and electrical consultant firm till this 11th March, then I continue my final semester 21st February till today. I still survive! :D

Workload just never stop - which is good to keep myself busy. ;)

I saw this part time job by NSTP (New Straits Times Press) on blackboard, and I think I can manage it. I took up the offer. Interviewers are supposed to do 30 surveys (max) about reading habits and newspaper preferences among Sarawak newspaper readers and each survey will be paid RM 17. First thing in my mind was, I think it worth more than doing traffic studies survey where each survey conducted was only paid RM 3. LOL..

Friday last week, I had class from 8.30am - 10.30am and 2.30pm - 4.30pm. So after my brunch, I headed over to the Federal Government building and did some surveys. I only managed to do 4/8 surveys and 1 of them got rejected because the reader didn't read any malay newspaper.

One of the supervisors, a lady, gave me another 4 more survey forms and asked me to complete them the following day. I had band practice from 9am - 12pm and 2pm - 5pm. Trying to squeeze some time out for interviewing, and I managed to complete 6/8 surveys. I headed back to the office, and the lady wanted to cut my interview quota (means my pay will be cut!) because I couldn't finish all the survey. I said, "No! I promise you, I'll finish how many survey forms you assign me for tomorrow. I have no programs on Sunday. I can assure you I'll finish it. I didn't finish it today because I had band training. Do you know Victoria Institution Band? I'm training St. Joseph Band here." So, I'm assigned to handle 9 survey forms on Sunday. :D

I finished the survey at 3pm on Sunday! (all the 9 surveys) ;) Don't look down on me. When I say I can, I definitely can! I headed back to the office then and she actually left Kuching the same day too. Another supervisor of mine, gave me another 12 for Monday. I didn't have any class till 4.30pm.

I went to my practical training office in the morning because my boss wanted to see me. He handed me a cheque for February. I didn't want to accept it because he was already very nice, gave all the trainees a 9 days break for Chinese New Year. In addition, I get to go to class on the first week of the semester and also few days off to go to uni to do my final year project during the holiday. He said, "Nevermind, just accept it as a token. You've done a lot too. You don't have to come back to work. It's very hectic and busy day for you if you attend class then come to work and so on. Just concentrate on your final year project and your studies. Hopefully, we'll see each other again. Make sure you know what you want to do in the future. All the best." :D Thanks boss! I can concentrate on my uni stuff! :D

I did my surveys around Satok area and I managed to finish 9/12 surveys by 3pm that day and headed to office to let my supervisor check because I had a class at 4.30pm. I had 3 more to complete a total of 30 surveys. He asked me whether I can complete another 2 more (Extra) because one of the interviewers was a slacker. She completed only 15/30 surveys. I took the challenge up and today, I was paid 32 surveys (RM 544) ^^,

What a busy weekend. Am gonna treat mom a dinner and give her the money I've earned this weekend as her birthday is coming up on Thursday! xD Happy Birthday MOM!!

Killed two tasks in a weekend. I rested very well in the evening today and after tonight, I am going to really focus on my studies and also my final year project! Another 10 weeks, I'm done with uni!! Can't wait to have my holiday!!!

Signing off for now. :D
