27-03-2009 (Friday)

Today the weather was not so good… It is a rainy day… Seeing the rain make me feel boring... We are going for an industry visit so we can wake up a bit later so we went to have our breakfast at Canteen 2…

There is totally different from Canteen 1 that we always have breakfast there… Canteen 2 only provides noodles and fried pancakes… No other things like Dim Sum or You Tiao… No choice so we just went to Canteen 2 as we are late... At there we just get some pancakes and noodles… Getting a drinks then we went off as we got to meet at 9.50am outside the administration block… At 9.45am, we are waiting for the rest of the group then at 10am we set off for the destination… It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to reach the place…



The industry company is called” Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Company”. The company was so big that they actually divide into two plants… One plant to produce optical fibre and the other is for optical cables… Taking a short tour around the plant about 1 hour plus… Knowing the knowledge of the process fibre, make us to learn more than what others have not… The process of the fibre there a total of three parts… First, is to wash clean the glass rod to prevent any other small particles. Second, is to melt the glass rod and apply two chemicals to solidify the glass wire… Last, is to hand in to the product quality checked before sending it to the packaging session… We then take some photos for memories and at 12pm we went off for school… About 12.20pm, we reached the school and then went to have our lunch… Every day we eat the same things for lunch- fried rice…




After lunch we went to our hostel and then study for the afternoon theory test which constitutes about 20% of our marks… The test will be at 3.50pm so we left the hostel about 3.30pm… Reaching there about the time to start…


During the 1 hour theory test, I wished I was not there… The test was half easy and half difficult so we got 50% of passing and 50% on failing… After the test, we went for dinner which is about 5.30pm… Today was the earliest for dinner as the weather is not so good so early dinner… After dinner we went out to buy some bread for our supper and tomorrow breakfast as we are going out for a final tour in Wuhan… Today at 9pm we will be having our briefing in the end it was being cancelled… We then received sms by Mr. Chua and Mr. Ma that we will be meeting tomorrow at 8.15am outside the school gate and that was very early...

We have went for two industry visits… I prefer the one that we went today… The person, who called himself- Mr. Qian (Money), was a good speaker… No matter what we do not know, he will explain it to us… Unlike the first industry visit, he only talked to the one in front of him and neglects the rest at the back… We also have an interpreter that is none other than Mr. Chua… All thanks to him, the rest of us would be able to understand the whole process of the plant for processing fibre… Maybe the first place that we went was quite noisy so I do not take it to heart… Different places have different condition, able to tell on how well the industry is doing…In conclusion, during the visit of industry I do learn quite a number of products how is it being process… Do hope there was more chance for us to go for this visit…
