Last Week of Internship

16 weeks of internship is coming to an end this week. I am having mixed feelings about ending this, I hope that it will never end as I had really enjoyed myself throughout this process and everyone treats me like a family member. This internship had also build up my interest towards development and how it is like to be a developer.

Mr Chan is a thoughtful person and Ms Lily is a resourceful person, together they make a good team. I had always wanted to start my own business and this experience had taught me that I need to more partners and these partners must have distinct personalities and specialities in order for me to run the business smoothly.

You may be wondering why am I writing this entry today instead of Friday. This is because I have a strange feeling about this week and it is telling me that a lot of reflections will be going on in my mind. In order not to forget any crucial points that can assist my future development, I am planning to write an entry everyday until Friday. I hope Mr Chan will ask me to continue working as there are still many things that I can learn here.

NTU talk

Today i had went for the NTU talk in Grand HYATT Singapore located at Scotts Road. After listening to all the course talks, i had decided to read more on Civil Eng and EEE. Though i had always thought of going into Business courses, i felt that Civil Eng will be more enjoyable since the experience at TGL. There are lots of thoughts running in my mind and basically i cannot decide on the field specialization that i supposed to choose after i get into the course. Everything seems fine to me but i know if i make a wrong choice i will definitely regret it in the future. I really hope someone can give me guidance on how i should choose in Uni.

Btw, Internship is ending in one week time and i feel i will not be able to finish all the tasks i had at TGL. Hopefully i can arrange everything before i leave and best if Mr Chan ask me to continue after the internship :D Wonder how much will he be willing to pay me :P

No matter what the outcome is i just want to say i had enjoyed my 15 weeks at TGL. The stress may be high but the amount of knowledge i had gained has far exceeded the stress level. I would like to thank Mr Chan and Ms Lily for taking care of me and wish that TGL will continue to do well in the future :D

Chinese New Year Holiday & EPS System

This week is a 2 day week since work only started on Thursday. I had a great 5 days packed with activities and visiting to relatives houses. But the only disadvantage to having such a long holiday is the number of emails and mails that had been sent and posted during the CNY period. It took me 2 full hours to finish reading and reply to those inquiries from the resident. The number of phone calls did not stop even during lunch time....

I am barely able to read up more on the Electronic Parking System (EPS) that Mr Chan hopes to implement on one of our commercial buildings. Let me share with you some basics to EPS.

Common EPS that can be found in most carparks

Components of EPS System

The following is how the system work when a car enters a EPS equipped carpark;

1) Upon Entering; EPS Antenna reads the IU serial number in the car, non-local motorist will have to insert their cashcard into the Entry Station to get a ticket

2) Data will be stored in the validation terminal/ Data of season parker will be stored in here too

3) Upon exit; those with IU will had their fee deducted directly, while those with tickets will have to insert their cashcards to pay for the fee

The reason why i chose to read up is because of the meeting with the supplier of this EPS. Hopefully the meeting will not dragged and we will be able to focus more on the cost of this system.
