Last second week..

YOzzz..... finally this will be the last posting from me.. i bet most of you guys cant wait for it to end..

I will post on my SIP work for this post cause you all might be interested in what i am doing.

Most of the time during my SIP, i will be doing on paper work. First to photocopy all the purchasing orders, the invoices, delivery orders/service reports. Then i will need to update the purchasing orders into a folder so that everything can be easily located and to keep track. Purchasing orders are actually forms filled in by TSOs or lecturer to buy certain stuffs from a specific company and this purchase will be needed to be approve by a person with higher authority. After which the purchase orders can be process. After purchases are made, the company will give invoices and delivery orders/service reports whereby the invoices will be updated by me and send to finance department to make the payment. All documents are to be file according to the purchase made into different files. Other than purchasing, i will also update ont the estimated price and the actual price for chemicals and acessories items(use every semester for purchasing). Estimated price is a reference to buy items and to prevent over badget. After getting the quotation from different companies, we will choose the company that fulfill our criteria, we can then update on the actual price given by the company. Usually for chemicals, we will try to get from the same company from the previous purchase to ensure that the chemicals content will not vary too much that they will affect the results of experiments.

Other than those paper work, i will also help in doing some preparation in the lab. As my TSO is in-charge of food preparation labs, thus i will have to help out in the food lab. I need to prepare media before classes which is quite simple.

The tiring part is when it come to checking the items in the lab. In food lab, there will be around 12 sets of items, each set meaning 4 drawers containing all the cutlery and 2 cupboards containing the pots, pans, plates, bowls etc. So i will go around checking if all items are in their place. This may sound easy but it is not as a lot of the items will be misplace by the students and i have to search for them one by one. Just thinking of it make me feel tired.

Other than that, i will also check if the ovens are in working condition, clean the water bath, check the first aid box to see if there is anything to replenish. Oh and i also help to validate the micropipettes. Some of the equipments in labs are validate by TSO over a period to check if the equipments are working normally. If there is any abnormality, they will then send them to external to calibrate them.

Alright that's about all that i did for my SIP. Enjoy yourself for the last week(but remember to continue working at the same time)!!!
