Conversation with Taxi driver

As usual, I am in the cab heading towards Keppel Shipyard at Pioneer Sector 1. The conversation begins with the recent credit crisis issues. The driver and I were on the topic and the driver commented that youngsters nowadays are wasting a lot of money. Right then, I commented that youngsters nowadays have been taking things as granted. For example, they do not even face the world without mobile phone, the days with 56K dial up for internet connection, the days with fans only but not air-cons.

However, I get such reply:" No no no... they are not taking things as granted. It's our human civilisation. We should move forward... and they are not taking things as granted..."

Well, sounds like, this driver has his points. However, after thinking twice, I smiled to myself... I have my answer on this. (How about you?)

I can't compromise with it

Recently, it's obviously that a drop in the standard of whatever things I am doing. After struggling for some time, I have decided that I can't compromise with the standard-relevant issue. I am going to do something with regards to it.

Next month, I will have critical milestones to meet. My thesis phase 1 will be dued that time and a presentation will be carried out. If I am not going to do something on that, I am sure I will regret on it.

这里有爱。。。 ('Love' is available here)

I have had lunch with colleagues at Jalan Membina food court this afternoon (my favourite XO fish soup!!!), and the time we passed by a shop, we spoted this funny notice. =p

Just to translate, it says 'Love' is available here, where by 'Love' and 'Ice' have had similar pronounciation in mandarin.

Cheers!

Project at Shipyard

I have the luck to attend to a project which is carried out at a famous shipyard at the West.

Indeed, I felt quite excited when I first went to the place. It's time for me to have a look on how's shipyard is like!!!

The safety requirements of this shipyard is strict. This is to convey to the safety guidelines provided by the Ministry of Manpower and other departments in the shipyard compound.

There are a lot of workers in the shipyard compound. It's noted that bicycle is one of the common transport for the workers travelling around the shipyard compound. The workers all looked strong and fit.

The office hour is 7:30am till 4:30pm and the lunch time for executive is at 11:30am. You would see the workers start queuing at the entrance of the canteen from 11:50am. When the clock strikes at 12:00 noon, they all ran in the canteen rushing for their lunch (as if they have had long time never taken their lunch. :) ) By the way, the workers could really eat a lot! I am amazing by the amount of food they are taking. The price of the food in the canteen is really at fair low price. The economic rice selling at $2 (for 2 vege and 1 meat, note that the rice and the dishes are served at bigger set than outside). The chicken rice is sold at $2 as well, etc etc.. After the lunch, you would see the workers getting small rest at their locker places or along the walkway. I suppose their job should be very tiring and tough.

It's really great to have a look on how shipyard's life is...

希望明天会更好
