I'm sorry for the late update to my blog as i have been busy travelling after my finals and with the first week of Internship. I will update them starting from today.....

Tuesday (13th April 2010)
We had a 2nd session on pump talks and this time it was about pump graphs, specifications and also configurations in pumps whether in series or parallel. Was a little confuse and am still eager to find out what happens if 2 pumps were wrongly fitted together. Later in the evening, Mr Michael asked me to follow him and his assistant for a meeting to confirm if his project is running on course and his reports. It was very interesting because there were some humor and tense moment during the meeting. From this i've seen many different type of people in a meeting. Some are quiet, some will doze off, some will be superior and some will have a sense of humor.

The weekend was over and it was back to my routine days. Just as the day started, the project manager called his team into the meeting room and had a in depth talk session on pumps such as functions, looks, and calculation and parameters that determines a pump.

Friday (9th April 2010)
I have to read all about the notes my supervisor gave because he was on leave. I had to spend 4 hours reading and write a brief note on how pumps works, its NPSH and how does pumps works in series and parallel and also the economics and control systems of a pump. It was rather interesting because i found out many things beside what i learned in Thermodynamics and also Fluids.

My supervisor was busy today as he has to chase deadlines for his upcoming project of putting 2 compressors on a 2 level platform. Sounds confusing? Yes i know. So the whole morning was spent doing some reading on compressors and how to read the performance and surging graphs. Then later after lunch time, Mr. Michael was a little free and talked to me about the next big thing, PUMPS. I got another set of handout about Pumps and also Project Management. The project management book was kinda nice.

Wednesday (7th April 2010)
My supervisor handed me some of his old handouts about crude oil processing on the oil rig and also on compressors. He later talked to me about Oil Producing and the equipment involved. About the compressors, I was given a task to write on how much i understand about compressors and the controls that is used for safety. After reading, I never knew the flow could flow backwards into the compressor (surge) and cause a big hazard. Manage to complete the task and Mr. Michael seemed pleased. I hope.

Tuesday (6th April 2010)
Today, i've been introduced to the industry of designing. Especially under mechanical. Mr. Michael being the manager told me stories and experience on his first day, accidents, designing, and safety precautions taken by each disciplines. Then he told me what his team does, design Compressors.

Finally arrived at Sunway Tower to begin my journey. The first 4 hours was used for induction. The safety warden of Ranhill WorleyParsons thought us what to do during fire and also introduced us to the Company's organization.

After lunch, I was brought up to the 15th floor to meet my Supervisor, Mr. Michael Woo. Then, Mr. Michael brought me around the floor to meet his team of engineers. He later told me he was the Project Manager on this floor. After a light conversation, he gave me a talk on safety precautions from Shell and wants me to abide by it. It was a nice first day.
