6th June
Counting from the number of days, it has been one week since I started work. I am getting used to the morning wakeup calls, the traffic congestions and daily routine of turning everything on in the office everyday. The habit of staring at the clock and counting down before the hand strikes 1800 is beginning to kick in. Nonetheless, the working life is still fun and exciting. While working on the 3D model of the Amin Rafie Project, Mr. Azhar came over to my booth and told me that he was going for a site visit to look into the Tunku Project and asked me to come along.
- Look into Amin Rafie Project
- Tunku Project site visit

Amin Rafie Project
Started working on the windows and doors of the 3D model today. I realized not too long ago that grouping objects can help hasten the working process but will somehow lag an old computer. Mr. Azhar came over to check on my work and since it is about 70% completed, the shape had already take place. There were a few comments on what I had to change and what I could include into the building. Later he told me about the landscaping in front of the bungalow. I did not realized I was supposed to sketch up the landscape as well. But since he just mentioned it, I got the message. If I were to work on the 3D model over the weekend then I would probably be able to start on a new project this coming Monday. I also learned how to mirror objects in sketch up with the help from Hady.
Tunku Project
According to the task list, the Tunku Project is under my jurisdiction. However since the project is already under construction, I was unaware of the current status of the project nor have I seen the drawings relating to the project. It was until this morning, Mr. Azhar asked me to accompany him to the site. At the site, Mr. Azhar pointed out the key issues on the project. The project involved an expansion from the existing bungalow.
Due to communication problems between the contractor and the engineer, there were numerous delays and troubles Mr. Azhar had to deal with which included concrete inspection, beam dimension change and probably more. The site was located an a hill overseeing the KL view which included the Twin Towers, the Maxis Tower and more sky scraping buildings. I probably would not be needed to look into the drawings of the project since the construction process is already underway at about 30% completion.

Along the way to Bukit Tunku, Mr. Azhar and I had a long conversation relating to the Tunku Project. The problems concerning the engineer and contractor, disturbing construction issues and the current progress of the project. I too had a share of questions to ask. The journey was as beneficial as the site visit itself. Once the visit was over, the time spent in the office was the usual sketching up of the Amin Rafie Project. It is a Friday, by 1600 all my colleagues already slowed down to an almost standstill.
End of Day 07
