Silicon Valley comprises of little technology incubators, filled with all the ideas, geniuses and money. Anyone in Science and technology will definitely know about this place. Basically, it is made up many little flatted clusters. Although it's some what an industrial estate, it is nothing like those in Woodlands or Tuas.
Our sister company is located within the valley and we went in today for a simple product line transfer and to say hi to people I've been in contact with through email.
All gowned up and ready to get started =) Nothing new since we do this back at home too.
The main difference between their clean rooms and ours is the technology available. Here, they have all sorts of machines for difference products, whereas those machines that we have back home are basically obsolete machines from them. Sad right, but these toys cost bombs that's why we have to share and reuse them. But their clean rooms are really messy, materials lying everywhere, floors full of unwanted materials, and their clean room isn't even sealed. People can pass things in and out under the wall sheets.... Wonder how did they pass J&J's audit. hahahha... Other then that, I really like the working environment here. Seriously don't mind staying here for few months or even a year just to work with these people. Somehow, it juz feels different from back at home even though we are running similar lines. Maybe I juz like to be surrounded by high technology machines.
We were supposed to learn a new product but they were not prepared for us so we ended up learning something else. Kinda a waste of time if this product doesn't get transferred to SG but who knows, maybe there're plans for SG already.
The MPV that our boss rented to ferry us around (basically only from our hotel to work, which is about 10 mins drive). Our boss hasn't brought us out yet because we think that he kinda hates shopping, thus have been dragging another US colleague to bring us around =)
Company president's SLK550. Awesome car.
This is the cute little convertible that has been ferrying us around for our shopping escapades =)
My little harvest =) Was supposed to hit another outlet today but we left office pretty late thus change in plans. Thankfully there are still sales here and there. My funds are depleting but I'm happy! It's really a pity to not shop in the shopping paradise.
Quite dreading to head to El Paso, Texas. Everyone here has been telling us how unsafe it is to go out there. Looks like it's gonna be boring boring boring.... Especially when my boss's idea of a good time talking about work over dinner (since he has nothing else to talk to us about). Hopefully Johnson & Johnson is interesting and impressive.
