Leipzig Germany

Haha... finally i am going to Europe!
I will be on my way to Germany right after Chinese New Year. Can't wait and yet felt a little bit heavy to leave my lovely wife and and baby girl.
Will be there for bout at least 3.5 to 8 weeks, plan to go a little bit Europe tour. If time allow i think i will go Paris, Czech, Berlin, Munich, and maybe Venice...hahaha....felt like going on tour than to work.
Actually i m on a mission to Germany to learn a new process for my newly joined company - Q-cells.
Wish me luck!
And to all who read this if u have any suggestion on trips just message me, Thanks!

Q-CELLS GERMANY

It's been 2 weeks i started to work at Q-CELLS Cyberjaya. Though the wake up at 6am every morning is a little bit torturing, but i feel great to work at Q-CELLS. As usual, there are the norm orientation day that we call Q-Day. It not only introduce the company, but also they took the opportunity to bring in some inter cultural professional from Germany to introduce the culture of "Germanian" to us. As we are going to work closely with the German, so to minimized cultural shock, we had this intensive class to understand their nature and to live with them.
After the class, i think the most different thing between Malaysian and the German is the way of communications. They talk directly. They do not have like "Udang di sebalik batu" thing. If they like it they will tell u they like it, if not they will comment on the idea directly. There are no "loose face" issue rather than to actually discuss on the topic itself. So, in short, if ur boss said u had a very bad idea, it does not affect on your overall performance coz the action is yet to be done, no harm yet.
What i actually like is the company will go to this extend just to make the newly hired felt a little bit more like home and welcome. This is very important to me.
So, lets hope me and Q-cells will get more well in the future.
