2nd last week of December

Today is the last class day of the DFMA class at BCA.
overall i really enjoyed actually, for me as i have very little practical/ site experience, alot of the assignments n some lecturer presentations came in really handy. One of the ones i really enjoyed was the explanation of hot-dip galvanised; in which one person explained it as a " dip dip dip dip" process. A takeaway was for M&E, horizontal or vertical joint connections..

Today's assignment presentation was on M&E, and i think the one with alot of experience is actually H, the one from my group. the slides they have are really detailed, method statement 3d sort of imagery. really impressive i have to say.

no regrets on doing this specialist diploma. in fact i rem signing up just 1 day after the application was close? or was it one day before..

work wise is going quite excitingly. tom a park upgrading presentation, followed by pp precinct upgrading in the afternoon and gift exchange later in the evening at bros place. will be going earlier to work on the presentation tom, prob leave the house at 6am..buy a hotdog bun..

this time last year, think i was preparing for my brazil trip. in a blink, and events have flown one by.

one of the moral i think for the year, is the one thing you can take with you is upgrading of your knowledge..

Calm Monday

First week of the last month of 2017

So finally had the boa interview which went like shit. the board was caught up in a un-compliant issue of ventilation. this just made it seem like they had no minds of their own and only commented on " what was legally allowed or not".One take away i had though was that i should have just agreed with their comment. First question that should have come to my mind was " should i agree with them, and what is my intention" the discussion is not about whether or not i had the best form for the site, but rather " why didn't i..."so the best answer would have been, " if i had been told... i would have, but i wasn't told, so ..."

anyhow, interview was on a friday, and then friday evening, saturday to sunday night was off to Penang. Probably the best short trip of this year. Actually this i was thinking, after the 1 month trip to brazil, work was just crazy. i did take a while to settle in. went w L and S, we stayed in a airbnb in a superb location. ate all the char kway teow that was out of this world. got bitten by all the mosquitos, ate all the chendols. only thing we didn't do was the penang hill, so we ll be back. oh my but S and i did buy quite a number of rattan furniture! so much so that we had to send them back by train.

Still can't believe i made it through to December.

-Feb: zonk around, did more cycling tours
-Mar-May: Free lance
