My Wuhan Wonderland: 03/27/09

Hello. Lets start off this post with some random stuff:

1. An email from Mr Wong

Click picture below to see what Mr Wong thinks of my picture:

Jidanglamian=my face. new trademark. -___-

2. Accident

All other vehicles cramped to the other lane.

3. The Blood Donation Center

Their blood donation center is just a small (what do you call it?) clinic by the roadside and very near to the Wal-mart.

The Industrial Visit

I think the whole lot of us who went to the Industrial Visit today are very fortunate. I say this because Yangtze Optic Fibre and Cable Company Ltd. (YOFC), is not just any international company, YOFC is also the 2nd largest fibre manufacturer and the 5th largest cable manufacturer in the world! They are also ranked No.1 in China because of their excellent sales for 15 consecutive years! I think its amazing. There's this saying that means we have to learn from those who are successful and more knowledgeable, "Learn from the wise", and although the tour was less than an hour and most of the processes are not shown due to the company's secret, I think all of us had benefitted and learnt how the optic fibre is made.

optic fibres (the ones shaped like bangles) and cables

Raw materials to make the optical fibre

Mr Wong told us all something sad about BPQE. Even though its logical and I think its true, I'm still sad to know that whatever I've learnt all this time will be redundant and since they've taken out the engineering modules, I guess the more useless my diploma will be. =/ I actually felt discouraged and less motivated to do well at this point of time, which sucks big time cause I'm already not doing that well. If I keep this up, I'll get 2 or less for my g.p.a next 2 semesters.

I'm sorry.

The main point was Quality is already a must in companies and whatever I've learnt now will be provided for everyone who is working later on. So you know, the diploma fees are... ya, okay. Its too late to think of changing course.

brief history

in the 2nd largest optic fibre company in the WORLD!

The largest optic fibre company is in America.

Glass rods are the main raw material and the fibres are, as thin as your hair, extracted from them and are rolled up like sewing threads (above). Should the fibre was broken halfway, they are rejected due to quality reasons.

These fibres would undergo some coating and other (not revealed to us) processes that are able to give them colour and etc.

there are no seats there, actually.

We reached home (dorm) around 4 plus and went out to buy and eat dinner at Mr Loh's apartment. I had fun watching the TV (you won't hear that from me if I'm still in SG). More pictures below, that's pretty much how the 25th day was.
