// to work //

somehow it just feels very weird not to report to school on the first day of the semester.
so far, it feels as though i have extended holidays hehe.
So far, the 'honeymoon week' is just over.

this week is orientation week and formal training will commence next week.
i can't imagine what it'll be like, hearing from people that OT is rather common.
oh wells.
for now, there's only one word to describe - psyched.
contrary to what i had thought, engineering is actually quite exciting.
or should i say R&D.
ok maybe i'm just awed by all these new experiences.
seeing all those machines literally walking out of my textbooks is really a fascinating experience.
mentally, it motivates me by the fact that all those stuff i've been mugging for exams have practical usage.
Nothing beats the experience of wearing a jumpsuit and walking into the 'clean room'.
Experience, they say, is the best teacher.

Oh and engineers are all so smart and cool.
Anyone with the perception that engineers are geeks with poor language skills are fairly mistaken.
Those whom I met were well-groomed, and could communicate effectively with colleagues and superiors.
Not to mention their high efficiency.
All these actually make me have doubts about myself, whether i am cut out to be an engineer in future.
I still have a long, long way to go before I can reach their level (that is if I can reach there, haha)
There's another thing.
In school, mse for example, the gender ratio is generally equal.
However, at work, it is obvious that majority of the engineers are males and female employees are usually in HR or supporting services.
I wonder why.
