upclose and personal
each time i'm there, the three towers seem so far away. now its right in front of me face. the marina bay sands or MBS they call in short is now my playground. i've yet tto explore the whole area but i've seen the 3 mighty towers standing tall. its impressive! with the number of people working for the project.
after one month on a new job (yes, i do job hop alot), i'm stationed at marina bay to assist the IR project. people, you should be proud of me. i am doing the sg vegas. for the next 3 months i will be scratching my head in doing the electrical drawings.
i was super nervous on my first day at the IR because im the only one deployed there and attached to the contractor in charge of the project. the construction site with lots of them is something new to me, for i've been doing drawings in the office not the site. i work in a container (just like wani).
the engineers and the planners were at each other's throat because of the drawings. i was struggling here and there with the drawings because of the software interface and the diagrams that i've never seen before in my whole life. and i have a stern manager and makes me shiver whenever questions asked.
i hope i don't get lost tomorrow in finding my office because of the walkway. all the doors are identical just like the buildings you see on your way to coronation plaza. i hope my stern boss would be at the HQ at least he won't beside me because i will feel this extra pressure on me (we always perform better without our superiors around).
MBS is to be ready by the end of the year and i foresee that we will all be under extreme pressure.
