I was away for the whole last week. The only fact that I hate when traveling is that it is hard for me to get connected to the Internet. I paid nearly RM 60 just to get myself connected for less than 30 minutes. That was at Hyatt Kuantan. So expensive.
After this, you guys should really understand why I call myself macho, hehe. Well, this is what I did today:
Visiting Energy Commission building site in Putrajaya
.. alongside my GTS senior engineer and her former boss. Sorry the pics are not that pretty since my phone cam is only VGA.
The view of Palace of Justice from the site rooftop
The fragile staircase that brought us to the roof. It was shaking when we were climbing upstairs. Never imagined I could get myself stepping on it. One thing I know for sure, heights don't shiver me anymore (habis la lepas ni abah suruh panjat tangga bersihkan drainage kat atap)
Hey look! I'm stepping on structural steel! (yang mana dahulunya saya sangat scared kerana risau kaki berdarah terpijak besi, he he he..) The white tubes are cooling tubes, to chill the soon-to-be-built concrete slabs for the ceilings and floors ( first time la nak pakai kasut flat macam ni. Kalau tak pergi site visit, jangan mimpi la nak beli..)
This is a close-up view on how the cooling tubes are mounted on the structural steel. Cooling tubes are an alternative to using air conditioners as coolers for this particular building.
This lady is one of a kind! Aneeta, or Kak Ita as I call her, a mother of four, and yet she still can brave all the heights inside the plants and this building site, just to increase her understanding. She took me to 4 GDC plants in two days, and she made me climbed one of the cooling towers inside GDC plant in Putrajaya. She's truly my GTS Idol! Seriously, it feels great to know a macho engineer-cum-mother.
Hm, I do have a topic to talk about. I am waiting for THE enlightenment to come.. soon!

Wow. Cool stuff. There will be an ice-skating ring in Putrajaya. ;)
Have fun in the field! I sure loved it during my internship, can't wait to get back out there and do it all over again!
But of course there's this thing called Final Year I have to get through..what a drag. How on earth did you survive?
Hurmm.. by believing that I CAN do that, and reciting bismillah everytime I step on another stairs, haha!
Dan jangan lupa pakai topi kontraktor. Hehe.
