Workshop at Penang Agilent Technologies

Last Thursday, I did not go to school but I went to Agilent Technologies factory at the Bayan Lepas free trade zone. It’s not a factory or office visit, but I was just attending a Young Enterprise related workshop which talked on Liquidation process of a company, reports and how to run a annual general meeting for a company.

Agilent Technologies (NYSE: A), or Agilent, is a measurement and instrument company headquartered in Santa Clara, California. Agilent’s roots are at the founding of Hewlett-Packard in 1939. All of the businesses not related to computers, storage, and imaging were spun off from HP in 1999 to form Agilent. Agilent’s spin-off was the largest initial public offering in the history of Silicon Valley. [wiki]

I still got no idea what that Agilent Tech produce. Anyway, I am not so interest with Agilent Tech because it’s not technology computer related company like Apple, Dell, HP etc.

Back at the school, before going off to Agilent Technologies factory, 2 prefects did eventually followed me, stopped me and searched me. Form 3 prefects were trying to be a hero. They took my phone and a strip of Mentos. Of course I took it back right away at the discipline office because I was not to school on that day so I actually have the rights to take whatever I want to. Prefect please piss off.

It was a big auditorium with nice sounds system and lighting. Though the talks and all were boring and it was just filling our time. It’s better to be in school because I need not to be search again. Prefects are on the move more than before, it’s all the junior but not the senior.

I got no chance to take photos outside the auditorium because one of the Agilent Tech people told me not to take any photos outside the hall. Well, it’s just a sharing on my recent activity in school. =) Agilent Tech is huge but does not fancy me a lot, except with their provided meal, washroom and the auditorium hall. Hehe.
