Week 5: Busy Week

Week 5 was just as normal as any other week. As weeks go by i began to learn more and more skills and knowledge in this workshop. I was given the chance to help out in installing and managing the products that our company are selling! Although i could not fully install and do all the things myself, it was fun to help out and observe how my colleagues do things. 


I realized that the skills that we were going to learn in this ITP program were very important and useful. These skills are applicable to our lives once we graduate and start looking for a job. We could say that we have experience in this area and it gives a better head start


Skills that we learn through work and experience are totally different from what we learned from books, so practical learning and experience is needed to fully understand. 

Although we were quite busy this week, I still enjoyed learning new things everyday. I look forward to next week!

Week 4 : Learning More About Brakes

This is end of the first month of my internship, it was quite fun and enjoyable working with the bunch of people around here. Every week was passing as per normal, repairing and servicing cars that come to BMS Motorsports. 


For this week, I would like to touch on Brakes. As our company is an official distributor of APi Brakes. There are 2 kinds of Brakes that we sell that are more common to our consumers. They are the APi Super 6 Brakekit and the APi Super 4 Brakekit. The main difference between the 2 brakekits is that one has 6 ports and one has 4 pots. The higher number of pots means more braking power.

Week 3 : Used to the Work Environment.

Week 3 was just as normal as any other weeks, just that i've grown closer to the people working there. My colleagues there were very very very friendly, they would not hesitate to answer any questions or enquiries that i have. 


Our company holds the official distribution rights for FOX Exhaust Systems in Asia. This week i witness the installation of one of the exhaust on a Volkswagen MK5 Golf GTI. 

















This exhaust is approved by LTA [Mid Silencer Pipe & Quad Muffler].The 70 mm FOX Exhaust System (For VW Golf & Scirroco) with the new 80mm Muffler Tips.

Boss's Birthday
Another event this week was our BOSS's BIRTHDAY ! After we ended work, i followed a colleague of mine to buy a cake for our Boss. We suprised him at about 8.30pm, we even took a group photo with him! 























This pretty much sums up what i've been doing the entire week! I'm looking forward to Week 4 of my work! Time passes so fast that the first month of my work is almost over.

Week 2 : Getting the Hang of It.

This is my post for the second week ! Work was going as per normal every single day, it was fun as i could learn new things everyday. For this week, the main thing that i learned was the drive shaft. 


The Drive Shaft Cover was commonly repaired in our workshop. 
[The Black cover is also known as the Drive Shaft Cover]




















The Covers were commonly broken and needed a replacment. 

For this week, i also learned new things like dismantling the wheel so that we could replace the wheel bearing. Although i had been oberserving my colleagues changing the full set of timing belts for a few times this week, i'm still trying to understand and learn the steps.

In Conclusion, this weeks work was just as exciting as the first week. I would look forward to my 3rd Week at work!
