The FINAL month

Time flies and it's the final month of my industrial training. For the past weeks I had been real busy with my project, weekly report and interview session with the Mill Adviser (MA) and UTAR supervisor. Glory be to God, I was well prepared.

Interview session with the MA:

The MA read through my weekly report and asked questions on almost each station of the palm oil mill.

  • What is the capacity of the mill?
  • What is the capacity of weighbridge?
  • What is the function of weighbridge?
  • What is the capacity of loading ramp?
  • What is the function of the wall on loading ramp?
  • What is the capacity of each CPO storage tank? Is it sufficient?
  • How long is the sterilization period?
  • What is the sterilization cycle?

And many more questions……….. Thank God I was able to answer most of the questions and I received good comments from the MA. What a relief!! I was quite stress about the interview as I heard from the manager and the assistants that the MA always ask difficult questions.

After the interview session with the MA, I was quite confident for the next interview with UTAR supervisor which was on the next day.

Interview session with UTAR supervisor:

The interview session went really well. Basically the supervisor asked about my welfare here. How is this place? How are the people here? How the manager and staffs treat me? And so on…

How I answered him? Of course I'm doing very fine here. I feel so blessed to have come here for training. The manager, the assistants and the staffs all treat me very well. Besides that, I learn a lot here. I came here having zero knowledge on palm oil processing but now I know how the oil is extracted, what are the machineries involved, etc.. The only setback is the place is very quiet and very boring but so far I'm still surviving. Haha.

Btw, I'm going home for Christmas!!! KL ppl, c u guys on christmas !!!

God bless and SHAKELINGAM!!!™
