On 15/5/2014 I have embarked on a journey to Penang following a trip that has nothing to with me thanks to my sister. That night , I understood how those from Penang travel to UMP via bus and trust me it was hell. Around 6am, we reached R&R BukiT Merah for shower and breakfast . Continued to travel to Motorola via Penang Second Bridge .

At 8.45am we reached Motorola Tecnoplex but need to wait around 10 - 15 minutes waiting for the lecture . Then we went to register , wow the security was intense , they don't allow camera and laptops . We were brought into a meeting room , there was a Motorola Officer whom explained regarding Motorola and its products. During that time a hard truth hit me way too hard, it seems degree holders has no value in most
corporation and they look for Master holders. So this means I need to continue my studies for 3 more years so I could land a good job.

Then we went to tour the factory , they take great precaution to prevent electrostatic from damaging their goods and no phones allowed . However I was blown away by their assembly line and how do they cut down their downtime due to material and product change . One thing that I observed is that they have different way to obtain the max output from their workers . At the end of the tour , I approached the Managers and talked regarding internship and as usual I was rejected as they always looking for intern that need to do for 6 months of interns as they claim 2 months and 1 week is not enough to train us . Anyway I just left my resume with another department manager and hoping to hear from them . After the tour , we took group photo and tons of selfie .

From there we , wend for lunch at Sunshine Market Food Court , the food was not so appetizing as I had Penang Char Kuey Teow . It was halal but it was way too oily for my taste. Then I had a taste of oyster and it was very bad . Then we moved to USM , for a workshop. In the workshop we was exposed to Arduino Uno .
Although it was not the first time I am handling the
Arduino Uno but the workshop was awesome and educative but I was hoping for slightly advance module such as GSM module , I hope this pattern workshop is done more in FKEE of UMP .

After we are done , we went to
Kompleks Belia Dan Sukan Pulau Pinang to get to the place where we are going to spend our night .It cost RM 12 per person per night and we got a decent room with 4 beds . By 8.30 we were at Queensbay Mall. It was the night , I had food done by Bangla and it was horrible and it was not cheap .

After dinner , I was just was walking around and spotted chat time and quickly ordered one. Then I went to Popular to spend my book voucher but most book that found there all mostly on vampires . Then we went outside to explore the area then return back to have some yogurt.
