Arigatoo...:)

Today my mood is ok liao. Really thanks to those who msg/msn me to encourage me/ cheer me up. Suddenly feel that i am still lucky leh as i have a grp of good friends. Hee...


Actually i feel that maybe i stay at comfort zone for too long liao. That's y cannot take stress and will easily feel down when facing problem/difficulty. I must always remind myself to be strong and think positively. If not, it is really hard for me to move on. Still have long long time to go leh.. So, must be STRONG... :)


Saw something interesting from WM's blog. Think she wrote that for me. WM, am i right? :) Anyway, thanks thanks...


Want to share with everyone...It is really true...

Very very DOWN....

I am feeling rather down now. Why?? Because of my work lo....

One of my experiment lots Etest result was out. The yield is bad for all the wafers. I felt very sad and very sian when i saw the results. I dont know whether my experiment got prob or wat. However, i knew that my experiment was too complicated and too many manual handling. Actually can guess that the yield won't be that good. I was quite suay that i carried out this experiment in this period. My fab encountered many issue. Last week, we encountered N2 supply shortage. Many lots were held at the safe zone. Of course, my lots were parked for about 1 day. And, these few days, we are facing other defectivity issue (which will cause low yield) from other downstream process. Suspected the low yield of my lot was due to the issue also. But, not very sure. I really hope it is. If not, i really don't konw how to explain the low yield. Tml, another 2 lots results will be come out. I have feeling that the yield won't be good also. Haiz....

And, for this project, i have to go for a process change presentation. Many procedure needs to follow but i dont know how. My senior supposed to guide me/ work with me. However, she has personal issue and will on leave for some time. And, it has a very tight timeline. I really don't know how. Next week, my partner will be on leave. Only will leave me alone. I feel stressed. I don't think i have the ability to handle everything. I think i will be very cham in these few weeks. Next week is my birthday liao. Actually should be happy. But, don't think i will be happy leh... Really dont dare to imagine the situation.

Sometimes, i will think that is it a right choice for me to leave STM. A comfort zone. No stress, not much responsibility, high increment... This year is good for ppl who born in Monkey year to change job. However, seems like it is not applied to me. Really very low morale...

Pray for the best... MUST be GOOD!!!

So fast, another week gone...

Tml will be my important day in HP. Why?? Because tml my experiments will be carried out. This is the first project/ experiment which is totally in charge by me. I plan to conduct 2 experiments concurently. That's y make the experiment very complicated. I feel very stressful as i tagged 3 lots for the experiments. Used about USD 18K just for the lots itself. I am very scared that my experiments don't work or the results are bad. Haiz...

Actually, i have faced many obstacles from the day that i started to plan for this project. Initially i was unable to have lots because they have quota for those non-shippable lots. Need to push other engrs to release/ terminate their non-ship lots before i can have my lots. Then, i encountered prod loading prob. They din start my lots as they have planned to start other product lots. Finally, settled the issue. Thought everything will be smooth. But, haiz.. my plan all will be delayed as one of my lots confirm cannot reach tonight. The earliest time that it can be reached at my requested operation will be tml 11am liao. So, all my experiments have to be delayed. Actually, no matter how good your plan is, definately will have different types of interuptions. NOW, my only only wish is that the experiment results are good. If not, i sure will be very sian and feel very demoralise liao...

Really hope everything will be 顺顺利利. Really hope to have some achievements in my 2 months there. Pray pray pray...

Latest Updates....

Long time never write something in my blog. Lazy + Busyyyyyyy... :)

Team Building
-------------
Finally, the team building event (on 040507) had over. Now, i am looking forward to another team building which will be organised by another newcomer. Hee...

Actually it was really not easy to be an organiser. Many factors need to be considered, like budget, activity & food that cater for everyone, the transport arrangment, etc. Of course, budget is the main factor. There are Malays in my gp. Hence, i was very headache for the food arrangement part. Luckily they are not those "strict" Malays. So, as approved by my boss, we went to Merchant Court for lunch although it is not a halal-certified restaurant. The lunch buffet @ Merchant Court is quite ok. Normal international lunch buffet. The price is $26.90 +++ and there is promotion for credit cards payment. In order to have more money for the activity, we have to fully utilise the credit card promotion. Hence, we separated into 2 tables. So, we can get 3 free buffet instead of 2. I felt that my boss felt that i was too 小家子气 as it was a bit ma fan to have 2 bills. But, my senior said i was good to think about that and she said my boss would feel that too as i concerned about the budget mah... Hopefully lo... One of the bill was paid by me as i got HSBC credit card. And, i had get my money back. The system there is really efficient. So fast.... :)

After the lunch, we went to PitStop Cafe @ Boat Quay (introduced by another colleague) for board games. It was quite a nice place but it is a bit small. It is co-owned by four partners who are undergraduates from NUS. They provide food & drink + board gaming. If you go in a big gp, can try to bargain for a better package. You can choose to have exclusive venue if you are willing to pay more. The boss introduced us to play a game called "Cranium" because it can be played in big gp. The game is actually a "whole-brain" game. It's a party game that borrows from a host of other popular party games of recent times. Players have to successfully complete activities in each of four sections to win:
In
- Creative Cat : A player must clue a word to his or her teammates by drawing it, sculpting it in clay, or drawing it with his or her eyes closed.
- Data Head : A variety of trivia questions.
- Word Worm : Players unscramble words, spell challenging words, guess definitions, identify words with letters left out, or spell words backwords.
- Star Performer : players must whistle a song, impersonate a celebrity, or act out a clue.

We had fun while playing this. My boss's team won the game. He was very on and really can play. Really doesn't look like a boss when he is playing. I liked the game too but because it is all in english (many words don't know or don't understand, some are really chim, even if my colleaugues also don't know), so most of the time i just kept quiet. Haha... I am thinking if this game has chinese version, then it will be great. I gave suggestion to the PitStop Cafe's boss regarding to have some chinese games so that they can cater for more types of ppl mah...

Anyway, in conclusion, it was quite a good place to go with frens...

Post the photo that we took on that day at PitStop:

** The one beside me (my LHS) is my partner. A kind, pretty and young lady... ; The one opposite me, a slim lady, is my senior. A very kind and helpful lady also...; The guy who was wearing black shirt and stand behind a guy who was wearing orange shirt is my Philipino colleague (my god-brother); The one who pulled another guy's pony tail (wore brown shirt with specs) one is my boss, see how playful and young he is...

6 weeks @ HP
--------------

Already 6 weeks i was in HP. So far, everything is still ok. Started to be busy as started to have projects. A big experiment that i am fully involved in will be performed on 21/5/07. Really hope that everything will be very smooth and the experiment will be successful....

Still not very familiar with the Maintenance and Operators. Maybe because we don't need to always go inside fab unless there is any issue. But, at this moment, even if there is issue, they also won't contact me as still no official passdown from my senior to me. Got good or bad. Good is i can have more peaceful life as don't need to standby for call. Bad is i can't really know/handle the issue and won't be close with those Maintenance/ Operators. But, this kind of things take time one... So, slowly slowly ba...
