My tutor's visit

Yesterday, my tutor came to the Power Station to see me and my supervisor.
It was part of the Industrial Attachment Programme that the tutor would come and visit/assess the student at the company every 1 and half months time.

My tutor,Dr. Tan, was a courteous man, speaks with a soft, gentle voice, standing slightly above my shoulder height.

He came up to our office, and at our manager's office, he distributed the accessment forms to me and my supervisor. Next, he told both of us to fill it up, informed my supervisor that the assessment was on me, and should not be made known to me. My supervisor smiled and said that he would return it after the tea break.

As for me, I noticed the instructions on the form stating : FOR TUTOR ONLY.
And there, he insisted that I should be filling it up...
So under each assessment statement, there is the survey grading type of answers: poor, good, very good, excellent etc.
I thought to myself, "eh... surely, if I had to fill this form up, I would tick all excellent, lol"
Then, I decided to inform my tutor that the form was not for me to fill up.

True enough, it was a mistake by my tutor, he claimed that the forms were newly made for this year's attachment. And in the past, the students had a form to fill up themselves.

Before the tea break, my professor and supervisor were doing the talking. They were discussing over the reasoning why my tutor's project was rejected by my supervisor.
My supervisor, being a very good talker or debater, stood his ground and explained why my tutor's suggestion was not feasible for the corporation to assist the student(me).
Mainly, the reason was that his suggestion was more research orientated, and our company is not very interested at spending time and sparing equipments for researching and experimentation.

During the tea break, we sat down at the canteen. At there, my tutor began to speak to me. I talked about my initial interest as a comic drawer. He responded to me by saying that I should have gone all the way to nurture my interest, and that way, my job and interest would be together, which makes things more interesting for me in future.

It is true that it makes a whole lot of different if my job is my interest. However, it isn't quite "realisable" in Singapore. And for some other reasons, I decided to make a living maybe as an power engineer.

So after our conversation, I brought him around the station. He asked and I answered along the way. After that, he requested to have a view of his apartment in Malaysia from the sea side at the station! I brought him to the top floor of our administrating building for it. And there, he was satisfied after being able to spot his apartment location from the station... ~. ~

We got back to the manager office, there I showed my log book, and the project that my supervisor had told me to work at. He was impressed that the amount of stuffs I had learnt during the past 1 and the half months here. And also the project my supervisor was talking about, was acknowledged by him. I was glad that he told me to carry on with it. ^___^

Eh, but he mentioned his son at Primary 4 learning to use Flash for some animation (wow) so now my supervisor was always telling me this, " so... you are using P4 work to bluff me" LOL
^__^V (whatever, don't care at all)

Need to learn more, and more to learn still,
zhaoru.
