Monday

  • After reviewing the interns' monthly reports, the director's secretary found out that there were some mistakes made and asked us to correct them.
  • I had to shorten the paragraphs as the report written was too long.
  • Since the report is written in Mandarin, I needed to correct some grammatical errors too.
  • I was informed that SKMB undergraduates are required to choose their final year project lecturer individually.
  • After studying the research areas of each lecturer, I made my choice and submitted the google form, by choosing 3 lecturers out of 9.

Tuesday

  • Today Mr. Su asked me to get familiar with documents of project bidding.
  • He sent me several examples of project bidding, together with individual attachments.
  • I had been instructed to handle the documents regarding project bidding for both general contractors and sporadic projects.
  • After lunch break, Mr. Su instructed me and another interns to count the number of street lights along the Forest City Highway.
  • This is because there will be relocation of single-arm street light poles.
  • The number of single-arm street light poles are 82, which are equivalent to 41 pairs. Among them, 6 pairs cannot be removed, so only 35 poles can be relocated from the 35 pairs.
  • After went back to office, under Mr. Su guidance, I completed the bidding project for "Water Pipeline Relocation Along Golf Course Site" and submitted it to Mr. Su afterwards.

Thursday

  • Today, most of the time had been spent on assisting lawyer, Mr. Lam Kin Fei in finding companies expertized in providing borehole testing and survey service.
  • The task was not easy as I needed to contact many companies to find suitable companies, and few of the geotech-related companies really provide the testing.
  • The purpose is to ask for the price quotation for borehole testing for 150 acres land.
  • Confirmation had been made for 2 companies, which are Geolab (M) Sdn Bhd and Edgenta Environmental & Material Testing Sdn Bhd (also known as UEM EDGENTA).
  • I had asked both companies about the attachment required for enquiry on quotation for borehole testing and survey service.
  • After finishing the task, a Word file was made to fulfill the requirements of Mr. Lam, with all the address, contact, email, company details and other necessary information.

Friday

  • I assisted Mr. Su in replying email to Mr. Hasfazri from Bras Ventures Berhad (BVB).
  • The purpose of this email is to shorten the period of time required by BVB for material arrival at site.
  • This shows that BVB is not having harmonious connection with the material supplier as it takes too long for material to arrive.
  • I emphasized on the importance of taking appropriate actions and the stance of Mr. Su in resolving this issue.
  • Before lunch break, I spent those free time by polishing my AutoCAD skills through online tutorial.
  • After lunch break, there was a weekly meeting from 2.30 pm to 5.30 pm as usual.
  • For STP 1,2 and 3, the progress does not follow the time grid fixed.
  • Dr. Chen Ai Lu emphasized on the importance of safety and civilized construction, as well as project management to avoid chaos during construction.
  • PIC for each module must be responsible for time management and improve their awareness in management.
