Spiritual and Holy Month of Ramadan

Fasting is an essential part of the Ramadan month, which is a time of spiritual reflection and worship. Muslims put more effort into following the teachings of Islam and to avoid obscene and irreligious sights and sounds.

The environment in the office felt dull, gloomy, peacefully and quiet. Everyone in the workplace did their tasks in slow pace motion and tiresome.

Muslims need to fast because it can acts as detoxifier, it cleanse off the body from toxins, promote healing since efficiency of cells are enhanced, invigorate the immune system to perform at the maximum state thus promote physical and spiritual well being.

Besides, it is to test their determination level by abstaining from eating and drinking during daylight hours and is intended to teach Muslims about patience, spirituality, humility and submissiveness to God. By doing so, they can bring them closer to God.

Happy Fasting to those who are celebrating Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

Industrial Training at Pharmaniaga LifeScience, Puchong

Pharmaniaga LifeScience Sdn. Bhd.

Today is my first day of internship or industrial training at Pharmaniaga Lifescience, Puchong for duration of a month effective from 9 July 2012 to 3 August 2012. The main objective of this industrial training is to give us exposure to the working environment of the industrial setting and overview of the industrial organisation. Here is my offer letter, I am pleased and excited that a public listed and well-known company hired me as their trainees.

Offer Letter

During the 4 weeks of industrial attachment, i can be attached to various departments depending on their needs. They may position me in production, packaging, quality control, record keeping or management of pharmaceutical products.

I’m glad that I have training allowance during my internship. Some of my friends don’t even have, they need to bear all the costs, transportation, petrol, meals, etc. RM500 though not that much but at least can reduce my burden for the 1-month spending. J

My working hours is from 8.30 am to 5.30 pm with an hour break in the interval. I prefer everyday is Friday so I can break longer. I only need to work 5 days in a week. So, it doesn’t really count as 30 days but only 20 days, I still can enjoy my weekends… hahaha... What I scare the most is the massive traffic jam that always happens in LDP. I need to wake up earlier to avoid the congestion…OMG…

I have been hectic finding a place for an attachment since beginning of the semester but most of the companies do not accept trainees especially those MNC pharmaceutical companies. At last, Dr. Affendi Dahlan has secured a place for me for the industrial attachment. Thanks for your great help.

On the first day, we need to report to Mr. Mohd Danil, General Manager of Pharmaniaga LifeScience. Then Mr. Arif, HR executive briefed us on the training programme and our placement.

Before briefing, three of us camwhoring at the lobby. We were given assess passes and gate passes to access to various departments.

CIMB Bank Debit Card Reward Voucher

This is the vouchers I redeemed from CIMB during the campaign. This time CIMB more stingy and only ''entertaining'' their loyal customers only. They sent nearly expired vouchers to us for the redemption thingy. Disappointed with their action and i am sure they are not going to beat Maybank forever. CIMB always behind Maybank.
