2nd & 3rd September~We woke up at 5Am, took turns to shower. ( Need to turn on the shower for 20min in advance for warm water) Took breakfast at 6.15Am. Forgot to mention, it is quite bright at 5Am here, like 9Am in Singapore. So i doesn't feel like i am waking up early. Reached the factory to have tour at the final assembly plant (Where completed cars finally drives out). Strictly no cameras allowed, our handphones are kept too. It was rather interesting to see a few different type of cars coming out of the factories. Audi s and Volkswagen cars are mainly created here. So machines are german labelled, briefing done in chinese. SO~ Great~For lunch we had to bring our own utensil. We could choose among 4 stores which offer 6 different type of food each, and we had to choose 3 out of the 6 dishes. Rice, bread and soup are free flow. We had to choose between watermelon and soft drink(glassed bottles) too.After 1pm we had theory lesson~Boring~Couldn't understood what they were saying in mandrin. Ended up learning chinese instead of their theories. There were new engineers fresh from the local university joining us for the lesson too. Shared thoughts and questions among us. Had to sit alternately between the china guys & ladies and ourselves. 1 pm everyday for lesson.Almost the same for 4th sept. Went to the Dben's itp hospital to take blood sample (gasp... my first time taking blood) for our administration to be done. We had to be checked for any diseases or sickness since we shared the same canteen and work area with other workers. Companies policy to check us workers before getting our admin/food card. We would use the card to get our free food from the canteen everyday too. Able to access some special facilites with the card too.Then we went for dinner today at a seafood BBQ restaurant. We couldn't find poker cards anywhere we go for the past 3 days. Sad~I think these two days would be what i would be expecting for the rest of my itp.4th September~Took my blood report today. Immune system fine but quite low. Haha. Most of us had low immune system but nothing wrong with us. Except for one friend who always drink alcohol, highest immune system. Hahaha. Ironic Sia! A bit of hands on from the theory from yesterday's lesson. A supervisor led us around the factory for us to take photographs~Finally. Then we had free time. We went to the leisure/entertainment building for our company. Level one was Gym, Second level was pool and billard , third level was ping pong tables and board games , didn't know what the last level had ~ HahaWent back to hotel and play games and blog late. Have to wake up early tommorow. Thats all~
