This week I got my first salary as a internship student, Wow this time I expected. Work is still going on as usual which makes indexing.

On Tuesday morning, after I entering office, Cik Arif give me the task to post some important documents to clients, I hurried to the post office at Jalan Gurney, after finish all the task I came back to office and do my work as usual.

We understand that the JKR officers would visit on Thursday, some preparation is done to ensure no bad issues regarding the work environment, both within and outside the office, equipment and everything come out from his own view.

On the day of the waiting, we are asked to make a demo of the work flow. A total of 7 staff members who were present during this trip. I also show how all the data stored in the database. After that, some of the questions we ask as the number of data that can be completed within a day and about the safety issue of this drawing. Overall they were satisfied with what we do and I continue to continue my work. Friday, the excitement of waiting for has arrived, this time for rest periods and working time feels short. I continue my work until 5.30pm. Thats all for this week. I Afiq Asyraf from Digital Space Technologies Sdn Bhd. See you next week.. wassalam!

Week 4

   This week also brightened my week, because my father returned from Mecca. Ok this week I was still a ''clerk " huhu . I still make the indexing as before, progress has also increased because of too excited.

On Tuesday, the boss told me that the Arkib Kerja Raya staff called us to take the plan from them to scan. Almost  8000 pieces of plan are taken. On Wednesday I again went to the Arkib Kerja Raya this time to help the staff there to remove the drawing or plan from “dokumen kontrak” is very difficult because the drawing should be cut from the document. I have to be careful because one step would endanger me. Two days I was there, estimated 150 new books that we have completed. After that, all books brought back to the office to scan. On the same day, I also apply permission from boss to take my dad at the airport and the application approved. This makes me feel very grateful =) on Friday my family went to the airport together.

Week 3 @ DSTSB

Holla everyone…This week I was given a different task, indexing. after working hard to complete 30 000 copies of plans for the scan, now it is time to save all data into the database. First, my supervisor gives guidance on how to index data. It’s so very easy to do, each one drawing will be index regarding on 4 important things where is the name of the project, sub-topics, a number of drawings and plan number. I started working after the briefing, there are 3 batch of plan  to be in the index, on average, each batch contains 10 000 plan. An average of 800-1200 can be done if I do not feel bored to do =) This week feels happy because the Muslims celebrate the Hari Raya Haji and all the staff of Digital Space Technologies is given a break for 3 days. That all for this week, I really appreciate the leave, this is the time for to visit all my relatives.

Week 2

Hye all.. On Monday I was still scanning the drawing, I still do a same work, work began to slow as there are many plan @ drawing that are tear and blur. It is because the plan  is over the age of 50 years . I had to patch up the tear plan first and for the blur plan clarity should be changed on the machine settings to produce high quality output as that is required by the JKR. Finally a total of 30 000 drawings plan were already to be scanned and packing for this week, each a bundle plan will be categorized according to the number on the box. Alhamdulillah. I feel really enjoyed being able to get the job done quickly, because of my cooperation with team members. On Friday my boss and I went to ‘Arkib Kerja Raya’ at JKR Jalan Sultan Salahuddin opposite to Bank Negara to return the plan and take a new drawing to be scanned. I was allowed into the ‘Arkib Kerja Raya’ and I was surprised because there are many boxes that contain the old plan. The estimate in a box containing 700 pieces of plan. So, the plan that has been completed scanned will be put it into the original box which categorize by box number. Lastly for this week, I also compiling all drawing on the table, I just cannot believe it’s almost the weekend so this is time for me to rest, see ya next week .. byee
