Work !

Posted in Random on March 8th, 2005

Hmm, it’s my second week at work this week and it’s really tiring. Have to get up at 6am every day leave my house at about 7.15am and get stuck in the jam all the way to Glenmarie. Then we start work at 8am all the way till 5pm. We get breaks from 10.00am to 10.15am and 3.00pm to 3.15pm while lunch is at 12.30pm to 1.30pm. Otherwise, we’ll just be standing all day fixing cars non stop. Once we’re done with one, another one will come in. After 5pm, we all finish up our jobs, then we go home. I didn’t wanna get stuck in the jam on federal with my tired legs though, so i rather pay RM1.60 and take the NPE highway home. Well, that’s basically how my life will be for the next 3 months. =\

The workshop’s there pretty big though. 24 jacks means 24 cars can be worked on at once and even a road in between for cars to move in and out so that means close to 30 cars at once? Heheh, and there’s a lot more cars parked at the parking lot waiting to be fixed -_-” It’s really tiring to work but it’s worth it though. Occasionally i get to see nice cars like the new 645Ci and 2 M3s that was involved in 2 separate accidents being fixed upstairs. Then there is the 7 series armour car with an American number plate which weights about 3 tonnes and is powered by a V12 engine. The glasses on the car is 2 and a half inch thick. It’s undergoing an engine transplant as the old V12 engine failed. The new V12 engine costs RM70k as far as i heard.

And today, a 1960s car came in. Looks damn unique and i heard that it’s the only car in Malaysia. I think it’s suffering some air-cond problems and the owner can’t find any spare parts outside so he sent it to us for us to fix. LOL XD It’s maintained really good for a 30 year old car though. The good thing about working there is of course getting to drive those cars =P Have yet to drive the new Mini though, but i think i’ll get the chance soon enough =P Oh well, i’m off to sleep now. Been a tiring day today.

Overview of the workshop. Just a small part of it though cause my stupid cam is not good enough XD
