Today my supervisor is on leave for the whole day and tomorrow on leave for half day... I am so free and boring. I should notice it since last Friday because he had sent mail to my mail box in the company.

Maybe my step too fast already so my supervisor did not have thing to assign me to do. I just helped another trainee that learn the same thing with me.

Hopefully tomorrow after lunch my supervisor will ask me to do other thing rather than dealing with the database. Hahaha...

Tonight is raining heavily. I was back to Kota Damansara already and tomorrow have to start to continue my internship. It seem like very fast that I will start for the first day of my internship on second week tomorrow.

I really felt very boring because I have to playing with database again tomorrow. Hope my supervior will ask me to do code and teach me Linux very soon.

Today is the end of the working day of this week and friday is the only day that no need to wear formal. Today I reach the company around 8.47am but the door still is locked. Today the person that holding the key is coming late a bit until my supervisor and two other chinese internship guys are waiting with me as well.

The task of today is transfering the data from postgresql database server to mysql database server. The mysql database will have more fields that postgresql database and I have to set the created date to NOW() and created user to 'ETL'.

I really do not like to do the transfering job it requested same number of fields and same schema in Talend. If I just executed the query to transfer all the data will be easier. Next Monday I have to fix by not using the query. Then when will I learn eclipse and Linux???

Today I am still playing with database. My supervisor said wants to teach me Linux but I still dealing with the database. Maybe he is no time to teach me. Today is creating a file to store all the connection variables like host, port, database name, schema, user name and password. Then when the connection for the database it just need to call the values from the variables. In the java code the values for the connecction will change to the variables in the file as well.

Today I don't know why felt very sleepy. I do not like to learn thing by just reading the materials that containe a lot of words to study. Around 11am I already felt very sleepy and around 4pm I felt sleepy again. But I not dare to sleep because the cctv just near to me only.

Today only me and 2 chinese guys coming to work. Then from the workers and my supervisor I knew that the software checking is the first time happened in the company after few years they are working there. The 4 malay guys no need come to work because the desktops that provided by the company already confiscated. My supervisor said if the government department returns the PCs, the company have to pay around RM1000 for a PC and it is calculated by how long the software had been used in the PC. Therefore when you are worked please do not use any pirated software.

After the 2 chinese guys going out for site services, I was the only internship student in the company. Everyone of them are very busy and I have to do whatever thing that my supervisor want me to learn. I found that yesterday and today my supervisor was asking me the same question that whether I already have my lunch. They all really like scared me didn't know go to lunch. I just coming back early only...

Today I learnt how to create log file for the database in file and database. This means the log file can store in a file or in the database. Tomorrow my supervisor will teach how to use Linux and develop a small project.

Today I was creating the PostgreSQL database to excel and format. Then the supervisor explained to me about the log file for the database. I have to create localhost database because even I have a new connection name but still cannot access to the database even is trying in my laptop.

After lunch, there are a lot of government department workers are coming to the company. They are checking every software in every desktops and laptops in the company. The purpose of them is to check the pirated software. This is like happening big case and I saw around 20 government officials. We have to stop our works and let them to check. Even my Sony laptop had to check as well.

When the free time, more people coming to talk with me. The government officials talk with me as well. They ask me got any pirated software in my laptop or not like making joke and I said have in smiling face. Then they suddenly said not joke and seriously so I said my Adobe Dreamweaver is pirated one. After quite long of time still haven't reach my turn. Suddenly another official came and said why your laptop hasn't check is that they all not dare to check your laptop? I just answered no. While the official is checking I have to explain every single software to him. When he open the about Help at Adobe Dreamweaver, the program start to become hang and stop for work. I was not noticed this before and I told usually it can be functioned well. Then he said can use but when clicked the about Help will having problem. He asked me whether know that the cracking software will have virus and it is unsafe to use especially use online bank will be hacked easily. He was written down everything included the hard drive serial number in a form.

After that, they are started to take action and want to bring back some desktops in the company that the Microsoft office is pirated. All the internship students have to go back early because we can't do anything since the government officials are taking action.

Today is the first day of my internship. I reached the company around 8.35pm, however I can't enter to the company without a pass to scan for opening the door. After few minutes I saw an Indian guy and I told him I was the first day internship at the company. Then he bring me to the receiption counter there to wait, there are still have a lot of worker haven't reached the company yet.

Around 9.20am, I saw the clerk and she gave me the company contact to read and sign. Then she bring me to a meeting room and let me alone to study the company profile and working strategies. After that a foreign guy was coming and presenting the company function and the developed software to me.

Around 10.50am, the clerk bring me to the upstair of the company which is the technical department. When the first step I was entering there I saw that all are males. I was the only female at there... There are 2 chinese guys, 4 malay guys and me are the internship students for the technical department. After that, they are preparing a desktop for me and I have to install eclipse and Notepad++. Then my supervisor told me to study Talend and download and install that to the PC.

I was going late for lunch after the chinese guys told me that was the lunch time. Then I only know that the lunch time is 1pm. I was coming back early to the company before the 4 malay guys coming back and they didn't see me already going for lunch. After that 1 of them come to tell me can going for lunch already. They are scared me didn't know the lunch time but I told them I was already have my lunch.

Then I was install the pgAdminIII and Aqua Data Studio. I learnt how to use the Aqua Data Studio to create the connection and obtain the database from the company server. However the PC didn't know why can't get the database to Talend. Talend can help me to convert many types of database to other formats. Since the connection can make Talend become hang, my supervisor told me to use localhost to create PostgreSQL by pgAdminIII and convert it to excel and XML formats.

Today I was feeling extremely tired. First day already had to learn a lot of things and all the workers are seem nicely.
