CPTC has ended after 6 weeks of torture, thrill and teamwork. Didn't put my best effort through out the training but learned quite a lot about the kinda real life plant work here. It's not a big process plant here. But the trainers were so enthusiatic on imparting knowledge of being a fieldman and a boardman. calling boardman..send..calling fieldman..send..please open the bypass valve of LCV001..oOOkkK. That's the most frequent message during the shift training cuz C100 was always flooding. haha~

My group had lotsa capable people who were seriously very brilliant. Most of the time I would be listening and following them on how to isolate, decommission, operate the eqipments. I just can't visualize the whole plant diagram. Learned how to open those stubborn valves and overcome my fear of heights by climbing up the distillation columns. Was kinda dizzy when I was on top of the column as it was swaying with the wind. But the view up there was dazzling.

Night shift was a terror. Had to force myself to be awake at like 4am when my brain was in partial hibernate and shutdown mode. But the nice guys in my group kept us entertained with their silly jokes and JunXiang's Nintendo kept my brain working.

On Friday, had lunch with classmates at Sakura Buffet. Everyone ate like hungry wolves but the soup is nice la. Didn't had nice food for 6weeks, survived on cup noodles, bread and biscuits. Then watched Balls of Fury at Cineleisure. Hilarious comedy which tickled my stomach and laughter cells constantly. Kept breaking into hiccups of laughter by their action. Didn't noe can produce a movie with a ping-pong ball theme.

Next day, cycle with YJ, HJ, JX, SQ and JP at ECP. Packed with too many people there so can't realli enjoy the thrill of cycling freely. So many obsturctions and how I wished I had not installed that crappy basket holder on the front of my bicycle. Was shagged and hungry by evening, so had dinner at Burger King's. YJ and SQ resembled pop stars with their shades and caps. Enjoyed the cool sea breeze and tcs to the max.

Watched another Jap Eiga..Deiya Furenzu (Dear Friends). A perfect movie which moved me to tears. Touching story that reveals on the meaning of friendship. Are Friends Necessary? If only I could grab hold of Yoshi's novel here. Ayase Haruka, Erika Sawajiri & Keiko Kitagawa are brilliant actress. Most importantly, Jap dorama and eiga rocks my life completely.
