Practical time

It is an obligation for all Ladangians (AS110 students) to have their practical during the 2 months of holiday in the mid-year.

That is why this course hardly get any intention from people to enroll in due to the sacrifice that you must do.

In certain expression, no one, I mean no one who would sacrifice their 2-months-time-to-relax-at-home just like that for nothing.

For a conventional Ladangian, they would choose an estate or a plantation to do their practical since our course is related to that field. But for me and a friend of mine, we chose a golf course to do our practical?

Why so?

First, due to the logistic and location. Since both of us can’t be apart from our home; I’m a person who really miss his home quickly; we choose to do it in a place which is near from our home. Hey, at least we can get free food (and money) easily. Lol..

Secondly, due to the work schedule.For the conventional student who choose conventional place of practical, they work starting Monday until Sunday from 6 a.m – 10 a.m and continuing from 2 p.m until 5 p.m. The worst part is they work in a plantation located extremely far from the city. In other words, they work in a remote area and some of them even work at a place which does not have a cell phone signal.For us, we work from 6 a.m until 1 p.m from Monday until Friday. Saturday and Sunday we’re totally free. Here I come MPH!!!!

Thirdly is because we want to be different from others. Since our course is full with stereotype mind of people, in their head it is always plantation, plantation and plantation. There’s nothing else in their mind except for that. But both of us came with an outcome which differentiates us from the other old school students. In other words, we think outside of the box; they don’t.

It’s quite okay for my first day at the golf course but yet the biggest challenge is to wake up as early as 5 a.m in the morning just to get myself ready. Tsk..tsk…pity me.

Oh, before I forgot there is no allowance for us. That is why we have Saturday and Sunday off because we aren’t being paid for the practical.

Just hope that I’ll successfully finish my practical at the 5th of July!!!!
