Jan 2010 randoms

Just some quick updates so far...can't believe January 2010 is gone in a blink.

Anw I would never have imagined that I would be staring at more P&IDs again, just like I did in my previous internship company. Just that this time, alot of things make more practical and $$ sense instead of mindless digging up of info for the process engineers. Oh and how to forget dear Prof Uddin? I'm looking back at his cyclones all over again! There's this weird irony I tell ya....whatever I did for Design 2 and anyhow whack the previous time has somehow turned around and is applicable....for some magical and unexplainable reason...

Ramblings aside, recently returned to TCHS (Hwa Chong JC actually...but I can still never get used to the term HCI) for a visit. Again never would have imagined I would return to my school for work purposes. 8 years ago when I left, I didn't think I would come back in this way...

Regardless it was amusing how this time I was scrutinising classrooms and labs and positioning when I did not really give a damn when I was a student. Timber wood and acrylite glass on the HCI building patterning? Wow...never knew that.. The bio labs look exactly the same when I left college, right from the benches and down to the microscopes positioning and the same auntie lab technician. Regrettably, the arch and open space linking TCHS and the JC where me and my pal used to work till the wee hours on the 木工 under the 道具組 for the annual 黃城夜韵 (or in general the place where everyone seems to paint their banners for orientation and leave it overnight) will now be gone and replaced by more classrooms.

Ah...good yet bittersweet memories....working till late, talking cock, toiling hard labour with nails and wood, skipping lessons, balancing schoolwork with CCA and 木工 side-job...

I wonder if we would say the same about our working lives another 8 years down the road....
