Wah!!tired sia...though 2day is my rest day...so is tml..cos tml on standby..wait 4 calls 4 jobs...haha...like star team lehz..call come then need to fly off liaoz..keke...need my stuffs readily packed in case of short notices..
Juz got my 1st job yesterday...kinda interesting...things tat i need to prepare once i reach the terminal..all the labels..bottles for samples..wat samples to take from which tank..ooooo....so long din take boat oredi..a bit scared scared...a 15mins boat ride to a off shore island 4 my jobs..lucky i never haf any seasickness if not sia suay lehz..haha..
B4 meeting my seniors at 3pm at the office...got to the office early in the morning to get my form for my jurong island pass...tot will haf a long queue..but din see many ppl there..heng...fast fast make fast fast go home...the lady who make the pass is niao loh...need photos 4 the pass mah..then i brought my own...pass to her..she say "dun need..we got DIGITAL CAMERA...use ours take v fast ready.."still muz emphasize the digital cam lehz..kaoz..i also haf..big meh??Haha..after tat go home rest eat a bit then leave my house to meet my seniors at 3pm at office..
reached the offshore island at abt 5pm..after prep is abt 530pm..then sit there relax to wait 4 the ship to come b4 we can board n take samples..b4 tat...take some samples from the shore tanks 1st...then waited n waited n waited...is a long wait loh...only till 1030pm then we can board the ship...y??simple..the ship v big..need small pilot boards to guide the ship in and the pilot boats was late!!!!was looking at the time..the last boat was like at 11pm loh..need to take abt 20 samples...big bots n small bots..total 40!!!where got time???but my seniors say dun need to worry..cos the other side @ mainland..there will b ppl to call boats in if we cant make it 4 the last boat...
din expect the samples to be tat heavy loh...carrying a total of 40 bots is oredi heavy..with the help of the seniors too of cos..cycling to the berth is hard..afraid tat the bottles will break..cos all are glass bottles...but finally made it there..climbing up n down the ladders to reach the deck of the ship..got a try at drawing samples from the shiptanks...oooo..the weight is amazing...more heavy than water....drawing the bottles up need some strength...gd chance to train 4 my ippt...haaha..finished taking the samples at abt 12midnight..
after taking the samples..transporting back to the office is another challenge to me..cos nOt use to carrying heavy loads behind me..the box behind me shaking..haa..the bike also lah..not use to it..normally my bike's handle is those straight ones..mountain bike mah..then the ones at the island is those curved ones..like those old ah pek kind 1 lah...hard to balance..plus my legs long will knock the handle..so got prob cycling..but after a few tries finally got the hang of it..safely transported the samples back to the office..then it's time to label them..
At first tot can slowly label..who knows?seniors all came back say need to rush cos thee cartered boat arrived oredi..wa..then faster label...pack up..change...then rush to the jetty..wah..the bottles..heavy..like carrying 2 big bags of rice in 1 hand..haha..finally got back to mainland at 1230am...sent the samples to the lab then go home sleep...but hungry lah..at the island no canteen..so no dinner..waited so long 4 the ship...ha..got home..showered..change then go downstairs to grab a bite b4 getting some sleep b4 waking up 4 course this morning...tired...

hmmm...finally started work at my new company SGS...as a chemical surveyor..nothing much to share at this moment of time as it is still my training period as of nw...ending next wk on 24th Aug 2007...after which i will b assigned to various chemical terminals at jurong island or out at sea for my surveying jobs...
do not get me wrong..surveyor is not those standing ard at mrt stations asking ppl for opinions with a questionaire, which most ppl detests..haaha..i'm not going to do those jobs...mine is a profession..very technical...taking samples n doing tests on chemical cargoes, tat r bought by ppl, to test for purity...contaminants....or whether it meets buyers/sellers specifications..pretty complicating and tiring..but will all pay off in time as i gain exp and skills in my area of scope during my work...monetary returns is of cos available and also more job openings, whether is within the company or outside of it in this industry will b waiting 4 me to grab the opportunities that are made available by them as long as i do my part well enough and show my capabilities..working towards a stable income which of cos will b sufficient 4 me to save for my car...my future house..leisure and many more...still far from it though but it will all come..hehe
Main worry now is...no gf...how to find with my current work timings....if i am able to find 1..will she accept my workng hrs?a very big qns mark there till i finally come to it...now in my training phase..timings are rather fixed...working hrs..at the main office...wkends free to do wat i wan..when it really started...will depend mainly on my scheduler..see wat schedule he plans 4 me..when are my standby days...when will b my working days etc...pray tat all will b fine...busy enough to earn my earnings...n well enough for my personal life...well.we'll see how things goes then..hehe..
will update u guys further when i start my actual assignments and when i haf the free time...stay tuned for it..haha..
