Week 1 : Learning the Basics

During the first day, I was introduced to the workers working there and had a brief look at the place there. BMS motorsports is located at AutoPoint Building in Ang Mo Kio. As it was my first day of work, I'm feeling quite nervous as to whether i could get along with the people working over there. The workers working there were very friendly, hence, there was nothing to worry about. 

My Work Place !

As it was only my first day at work, there was nothing i could help out or do. Before the internship started, my supervisor had instructed me to bring my laptop with me on my first day at work. He adviced me to research more on cars and the engines as i knew nothing about them. Although I'm working at a car workshop, the office was surprisingly clean! Every once in awhile after reading the net, i would go down and observe how they repair those cars. My supervisor also assigned me to a worker which i could learn some skills from in these 16 weeks. After the end of the first day, i was also told to buy safety shoes as there are tools and car parts lying on the floor in the workshop which are quite dangerous. 

I've learned some skills by the end of the first week. For example, changing of oil and oil filters, replacing spark plugs for cars and changing batterys. During this whole week, it was quite tiring although most of the time i was observing and assisting them. They would teach me skills bit by bit and helping me expand my knowledge on cars. 

Since young i was fascinated by the sight of cars so this ITP  was a really cool experience for me. Although it was very tiring, but i enjoyed working in this company and around the people here. I am excited about Week 2 and new skills that i could acquire from them !
