i went JI today.







yep, in the morning, as usual, i report to my office at the 10th flr, which is just one level below the floor of commissioner's office. But recently, i got the contractor pass so i duneed to wait for NSF men to escort me le. but still, the access from outside into the office wud require NSmen to press the button for us to enter. haha....being a bit lerthargic today, i went to darts unit to join my friend ( i think a lot of things are confidential so it is best for me nt to divulge anything). Dart unit is a special unit rescue team...an all-guys rescue team...mostly malays...haha think they are more fit? i watch their exercise for the whole morning, basically tying ropes and mastering the methods of coming from top to bottom and vice versa. This needs strength and perserverance coz as long as helmet is put, u can really feel the heat. Some are sweating like crazy, can see the sweat coming out from the holes of the breathing apparatus.
haha...in the afternoon,reached jurong island at ard 3pm. The place is very near tuas i mind u. haha...except the part that u need pass, plus security is very tight (NSF men holding guns)and the place being very inaccessible (no SBS BUS,haha) , and the scent is different (fuel smell) and the place is warm. we got a tour ard JI. see those familiar stuff that i have been researching on...cylinders and stuff which i learn in lectures. we passed by ICES...HAHA..it is damn further down of JI...is at the region of reclaimed land.then we went for a drink in cafetaria...nt very clean...looks a bit old...gt houseflies flying abt...this is irritating.

we went chemgallery in JTC, which is basically petrochem gallery and saw the familiar companies that lecturers talk abt...like exxon,shell,bayer, mitsui.... they even gt a 3D-periodic table...haha(real materials for each element...lol).
The last stop is at fire station. There is a lot of fire engines, a greater no. compared to the scdf HQ. some of us tried the fireman suit....haha...very hot...yep...luckily the weather when we wear the suit is quite cooling......haha... and 1st time trying breathing thru the breathing apparatus...was a gd exp!

oh well, my supervisor said it will be more tough when we go CDA lol...wear suit and crawl thru tunnel...dunno wat tear gas spray on us....but i am looking 4ward to it!
and hor, dunno why recently my supervisor called me haha....must have thought we went shopping..which is a no yet, although i have considered that. But she keep contacting me leh, and not my partner...so,even if my other friends really go out, i might have to stay in office and join the other intern le..haha
