Hello! Long time didn't blog already...for about two months... Was busy with my attachment most of the time so didnt blog... Decided to post to 'activate' my blog again...

My attachment started on the first term of my second year. My teacher informed me about it during the last two weeks of holidays. I feel is sudden and will miss going to Dover the last time since the school will be moving after June.. I also started to think how the attachment is like, what will I do there, how is the workplace like..... Before the holidays end, I was informed there was change of company I attached to and it will start two weeks later and end two weeks later. Means I have more holidays and have two weeks lesser than others. Those two weeks I mostly stayed at home, but go back to school on two days. Bored also because nothing much to do at home... The first week of attachment is mostly on assembling PCs (desktops). After that I got do things like set up desktops and laptops for the applicants for NEU PC as the company got supply computers for NEU PC programme, help to troubleshoot computers, pack accessories for delivery of NEU PC, attend customers who bring in their computers for servicing or repair, help to pick up technical support line. Overall, it was quite fun, but there are some times that make us busy such as sudden flow of customers coming in at the same time. There was a time a customer complaints about not being able to connect to the wireless port of their computer and it lasted quite long due to the customer's disagreement so took more time to close the case. (A learning experience, that is not to argue so much, just do what they tell you to do since you call in for help. If their method can't work, then can give your suggestions.) The company also participate in the PC Show then need to go there as the attachment period is not over yet. I only stand at the booth, giving out brochures because I let the part-timers and classmates who worked in the same co. attend to customers. Sometimes when the others are busy, I will do my best to attend.. In the end, I did one sales but it is luck because the customer approach me and wanted to buy one of the desktops.

I shall end here now, will be back with more ~~
