Day 13: Unproductive = me

16th June

Greeted Mr. Azhar as we were about to enter the office. He mentioned about the meeting with the client regarding the Amin Rafie Project. All went well and the meeting was a success. The client did want slight changes to be made however, which would not require much work. Mr. Azhar again mentioned how the 3D model was very helpful in the presentation and he would probably want me to produce a 3D model for the UM Project as well.

Amin Rafie Project

The project was as good as over. However after meeting with the client, Mr. Azhar told me that there were a few changes that the client wanted. The slight changes included extension of a few windows, introduction of metal grids and change of material to the roof’s support. The whole alteration would not take much time if I placed full concentration to it. Mr. Azhar also requested that I sorted out the layout of furniture within the bungalow to enable us to strategize the location of the power switches. After doing so, detailing of materials would need to be carried out. I would have to make a call to the suppliers to make inquiries and order when the time comes. However, all the above mentioned by Mr. Azhar was not carried out today as I was focusing on another project.

UM Project

The UM Project involves an extension to the University Malaya. The project is led by Hady and assisted by Amir. Since I have completed the 3D model for Amin Rafie and was idle, I decided to offer my help in the project. Amir asked for me to calculate the percentage of ventilation the current drawings had. As the structure was a huge university and I had a lot of time to spare, the task was not completed immediately. As I was unfamiliar with the calculation methods, I often interrupted Amir and asked for assistance. Fortunately he was more then willing to help.

After receiving instructions on my next task I sat down in my booth and started opening files. I was not able to comprehend the method for the ventilation’s calculation and had to refer to another drawing from a different project. I was about to ask for help from my colleagues however the only one available was Wafie and he was unsure. Amir and Hady left the office for a site visit, Jafirul was extremely late and Mr. Azhar went out to meet a client. So I spent my time reading a book while waiting for someone to arrive. It was not until after lunch that Amir and Hady returned. After getting the necessary information I needed, I started. The task that was assigned to me could have been finished rather quickly, however I could not concentrate and decided to continue with my book. The day ended with me spending at least five hours on the book. Not a very good worker if you ask me.
