CAshier + bartender + waiter+ operator

this is the 16th day I've been working, continuous without break. Not going to complain, but let you owe me more holiday , then end of month I clear all my holiday 1 shot, hahaha, this is my evil plan. Whahaha.

The only reason I can't have a break is because I was chosen to be the cashier, and there are only 2 cashier for the moment. 1 take morning shift (7-3), another 3 till 1/2am.

Off course, i can be a bartender too, unfortunately the only drinks i can make will be KOPI TEA, Water, and cordial. haha.

Waiter, not a very good waiter, if there is only 1 table, then OK for me, still can handle, more than that? DIE! YES YEs I'm a bad waiter, the best thing i can manage to do is saying sorry to the customer =)

Operator, hi good morning, OXO cafelab here, how may i help u?
IF free, try to talk to customer,
IF busy, just direct the line to Office

Sometimes, even when i pick up the phone at home, I would even say: HI good evening OXO..... Alamak what am I doing? It;s my father on the phone!!



where Am I working? OXO cafelab, near Queensbaymall.
NO photo, but you can search google for OXO cafelab, and you'll be able to view, photos of the restaurant, food, comments etc etc....

Wait, by writing the "term" OXO cafelab, wont my post be search-able in google too?

OK, my colleagues all very friendly,
supervisor very understanding,
Chefs v ery talented,
Management very good
Boss LAgi lagi bagus!

=)

Fun Facts at Work 4

The pic (taken from IBM ) above shows the general composition layers of a HD media.

So the carbon layer is to protect the magnetic layer
MAgnetic layer to store information
Underlayers to provide a return path for the magnetic flux
So, the above pic shows the plan view of the Alneva 3040, the sputtering machine.
Yes, yes I know it's very cacat, drawn using Paint....

For those chambers in white, their function vary from machine to machine

LC- load camber
ULC- unload chamber
P0- etching chamber, remove the carbon layer on the carrier
P1- heating chamber
CHAmbers in between C1 n C2 are in-charge of the underlayers
P13- bottom magnetic layer
p14- top magnetic layer
p15- top magnetic layer
p16- cooling ( if the machine hangs, and the media got stuck in this chamber for 1 minute, it will be covered with a layer of ICE)
p17- cooling
p18- CVD
p19-CVD
p20- carbon

all corner chambers don't really have any function

Pressure in each chamber is about 3E-3 to 7E-3 TORR
7E-3 torr = 0.933256579 pascals
Standard atmospheric pressure is 101325 Pa


SO u put the media in the load chamber, after about 15 minute, you'll get a sputtered media out.

Ever wonder how your computer Hard disk was made?

These are a few process involve.
** base on my knowledge**

Polish ( Johore/ Sarawak)
-the raw media is just a normal aluminum/glass disk, too rough to do anything much
.
.
.
Plating( Johore/ Sarawak)
- plate it lah, I think it is nickel plating
.
.
.
Texture (Penang)
- er, this department is more like a cleaning the disk, make sure it is practicle, bacteria free
.
.
.
Sputter
- the part where the magnetic layer-the part where data is stored is"SPRAY ON TO IT"
thickness of each layer is about few nanometers thick
.
.
.
Lube
- coat a protective layer over the magnetic layer
.
.
.
Test
- test the media. It's like they will write data in, then try to read it again
.
.
.
Bagging
.
.
.
Shipping
.
.
.
Installation of HArd disk ( PJ and Thailand)

WHY CAN'T WE TOUCH THE MEDIA?
The write n read head of the hard disk is actually not touching the media, the distance between them is about 5 nanometer, whereas our fingerprint is about 10 nanometer. Hence if there is a fingerprint, the head will crash while the media is rotating.... that's why

20 days work review

Yeah, I've actually worked for 20 days, or 240 hours.

And I'm proud to say that I'm the record holder for the longest working hours- partnership category (If I'm not mistaken). Hmm... why am I even mentioning this?... Just to say that I'm a *ahem*dedicated, persistent, hardworking guy *ahem* and of course a bit of perasaan. OK, I'll admit it, working 20 days is just to brag/show/prove that my level boring-ness is so high that it enables me to work for 20 days.

Ya, so lets start the review

I've learnt that
1. Team work and co-operation is very important.
Lancaster's law state that in a war the strength of both parties can be calculated by

strength= no. of army ^2 x weapon power

Imagine in a situation where both parties, A and B have the same weapon power, but A has 3 army, while B only 2. Then the strength ratio of A to B will = 9:4. See teamwork!!!

A 2"x4" steel bar can withstand about 600 lb, with 2 identical steel bars, how much weight can they withstand? maybe you answered 1200lb? But in actual fact, they can withstand a weigh up to 1800 lb, that's 3 times the strength of a single steel bar! See co-operation

Now imagine, you have 3 technicians working on a 12 hour shift. How can you implement teamwork, n co-operation among them? Taking 12/3= 4 hr, so instead 3 poor soul working 12hr, 1 person only needs to work for 4 hours, and get the pay for a 12hr job!!!! Once again, SEE the importance of........, no need to repeat myself.

I've discovered that
What you have studied doesn't necessarily be related to your job.
Come on, you don't need aSPM/diploma to do this job, but in reality most of them are diploma holders.
So study hard!! Although good academic grade won't necessary guarantee you a great job.


Updates:
1.Next week will be Hari Raya, going to be a busy week.
2. Keng Hwa a.k.a. Iron-hwa will be also coming up North to PEnang.


And yes fianlly one more TEKA-TEKI

JIka kapal tenggelam, apa yang timbul?

timbullah masalah!!!

At WD media Penang, only the Media is been produce here. Yeah just the CD inside the hard disk. The hard disk is been manufactured in PJ & Thailand.

If I'm not mistaken, each media is about 80 GB.
So basically there are 3 different media. Namely, Venus, Denali, Pinnacle



Venus-It's a 65mm diameter media, but made of aluminum. Usually for laptop HD

1. Roman Mythology The goddess of love and beauty.

2. The second planet from the sun, having an average radius of 6,052 kilometers (3,761 miles), a mass 0.815 times that of Earth, and a sidereal period of revolution about the sun of 224.7 days at a mean distance of approximately 108.2 million kilometers (67.2 million miles).


Denali- Also a 65mm diameter glass media. A new product ( i think), about 8 months old
1. A mountain in south central Alaska; the highest peak in North America (20,300 feet high)


Pinnacle- A 95mm diameter aluminum media

1. the highest point of fame or success

2. a towering peak of a mountain

3. a slender spire [Latin pinna wing]

See who says that you can't learn anything from a dull job? Lucky, it's just a part time job...

Fun facts at Work

After about 10 days working in WD media, then only I realized that there is a Japanese doll on top of every Anelva!!! ( the name of the machine)

How terrible, horrible, vegetable can my observations be? Well, back to the dolls, they are called----Daruma Dolls


"Daruma dolls (達磨, daruma), also known as dharma dolls, are hollow and round Japanese wish dolls with no arms or legs, modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder and first patriarch of Zen.^[1] Typical colors are red (most common), yellow, green, and white. The doll has a face with a mustache and beard, but its eyes only contain the color white. Using black ink, one fills in a single circular eye while thinking of a wish. Should the wish later come true, the second eye is filled in. It is traditional to fill in the right eye first; the left eye is left blank until the wish is fulfilled."
from Wikipedia.

According to the workers, the dolls were placed once the Japanese engineers successfully set up the machine, and they'll have a kenduri there.

Something to mention, The dolls in WD media only have 1 eye. So I guess the Japanese engineers made a wish : " hope that the machine will be able to run for ever !!"

And some says that if you shift the doll, the machine can't work well!!!
Believe it??? You better do.
