Log: Week 1

Monday
Continued cluster drive from last Friday with senior Amri. Nuff said.

Tuesday
For the rest of the week we'll be doing single cell tests, two cells a day. It's basically going to antenna sites and doing tests there. Try spotting the antennas in the pictures below. Today I'll be following senior Liow together with my roommate Ivan.

This is a VoIP phone, by the way. For testing only.

Site 1: Selayang Segar, behind Stadium MPS

Site 2: Seri Gombak

Wednesday
Again with senior Liow, Ivan and another roommate Weng.

Site 1: Some ladang near Kapar. Seriously, who's gonna use WiMAX in a ladang?

Input for car, output for pundi kencing

Site 2: Kg Jawa, Klang. Wasted 4+ hours here without achieving anything because the antennas' angles were messed up. Supervisor told us to "keep trying" and finally let us off at 8+pm as not much could be done.

Thursday
Senior Liow is not going out today, so we (me, Ivan, Weng) will follow senior Poovan.

Site 1: Bandar Baru Klang

Ah, Klang... Home of bakuteh, traffic jams and erm, Shyne? The roads here are seriously screwed up, man. One way here one way there. Maybe that's why Dorcas hates Klang so much?

Site 2: Kg Jawa again. Tests run smoothly now that the angles have been fixed correctly.

Some much-needed happiness, hence the Happy Meal.

Friday
Same team as Wednesday, back with senior Liow again.

Site 1: The site name was Masjid Bukit Aman, so we'd expect the antenna to be somewhere on the dome, tower or something, right?

Uh-uh. They had to hide it among the trees. So much for going green.

Site 2: Jaya 33, PJ (antenna on top left)

Nope, no cell for me again tonight.

Next week, we'll be doing it on our own! No more following seniors. Shit.
