At the beginning, I wasn't particularly strong so I couldn’t lift certain parts or even tools. I often had aching muscles and it took me some time to learn how to handle trucks. Now that I’m gradually getting the hang of things, and that I’ve got stronger, I can even lift large tires and tools. The workplace is hot in summer and cold in winter. It’s tough.
Also, we use kerosene and thinner, as well as detergent and hot water, so my hands get chapped, and they chafe when I wear work gloves. But I easily forget all these things every time I see the trucks roll out after a service.
I love my work. When I see trucks that have broken down on the road, I want to repair them on the spot. That’s how much I love them. This passion helps me to enjoy what I do. Male or female, it doesn't matter as long as you have passion and are up for some challenges.
The people around me are very supportive. My seniors watch over me and lend me a hand whenever needed. If there are junior employees under me, I will give them a hand and teach them everything that I’ve learnt.
