knock!

okie, i stopped counting how many times i knock my head on the scaffold because it's uncountable...today was my worst knock...i actually had a slight headache after slamming my head to it...ouch! my helmet has no more scratches but scars...

today, i had the longest conversation with china man...his chiense was so chimology that i almost wanted to tape down and replay in slow motion...seriosuly, at the rate they speak, it seems like waht they say is only one long word...okie, so he asked me wehre did i buy my digital camera, what brand, how much, how many shots etc...trust me i had a hard time explaining to him. but somehow i did...=)

and was walking around, china man just removed the formwork for a balcony column, and there i was touching the column to see how smooth it was, suddenly china man ask me " lao ban, zhe me yang?" he was asking me hows the column, because he was the one who fabricate it...
i replied like a professional engineer "hmm...bu quo" haha...guess he din't know i know nuts about inspection...oh well, he called me boss...so 1 week off day for him...muahaha

tracy, good friends are not easy to maintain they need your presence and time, However, life friends, who you want to keep forever, it's extremely hard to keep, because...u need to use your heart...

welcome to the life of an engineer...=)
Posted by Picasa

life at work...

busy busy, many many problem... this is what i hear everyday....
okie now that tracy's back from australia...it's going to be lifeier... =) 1 weeek of silence... tsk tsk

now i know, every friday there's a buffet at the site...=) construction site buffet...imagine!
oh yes! i accidentally knock my head 3 times on the scaffold today...that makes my helmet the most scratches at the site...if not for the helmet...my head will be gone...

was in the lorry with the blangahs, hitched a ride back again...they were eating tapioca chips and offered me some...i can really imagine this workers, comign all the way to singapore to work, jsut to support their faimly back in india...the lonliness...imagine..under the hot sun everyday...earning a mere $400 a month...
i got to say this...TEENAGERS now adays...spent so much money...on clothings..those workers wear the same clothes almost every day...at night wash, morning wear again...


love, Lionel

-_-

okie, something exciting...we had fire drill...i din't know there were so many workers at the site till today...i remember when we had firedrill back in school when everybody will go to the assembly area...then line up, then mark attendance

another interesting thing today...as usual, in the mornig, i put on my white helmet and walked around the site...i was following this ah pek around who was doign some concrete coring test... what happen was, we were at the attic of this bungalow, and there was only one powerpoint up there...who knows, another blangah came up with his drill...so there we go....ah pek wants to use the powerpoint, blangah also want to use...then how? QUARREL...interesting thing was, the ah pek, thought i was some engineer at the site because i was wearing a white helmet...
then the blangah worker turned to me...and said.."how"...so i was caught between 2 middle age men...both of thier ages would probably be a hundred...and me a 20 year old have to solve their "who get to use the powerpoinnt" problem...anyway...we worked things out...thanks to me =)

today i also want to thank the inventor of helmet..i knock my head on the scaffold thank God for the helmet it save me from massive bleeding...it's so so dangerous at the site...nails sticking out of wooden planks all over...one miss step while u are walking, and there waiting for you is a piece of iron bar wiating to pierce through your body...

i have many things to day abt the people i'm working with...but i better not say anything till i get my grades...just in case...;) get what i mean ;)

just like a doctor who sees patience, they check out body...
i'm a doctor of buildings,
Cement are like the Flesh,
Steel Bars are like the Bones,
Pips are like the Viens...

love, Tocky

1 year death anniversary...

it's going to be a lengthy post...been too tired to blog this few days because of work...
i've been posted to sentosa cove..hexacon construction...they are building bungalows there...
everyday, i have to hitch a ride in-out sentosa cove from lorries carrying construction workers
yes! there's no bus in there..so imgaine the inconvenience...but still it's a good experience...i mean...how many of us have a chance to sit lorries with construction workers...tsk tsk...
lunch everyday is torturing, no where to go, nothing to do....i just sit down and listen i pod and rest..

blen's 1st year death anniversary was yesterday, bought him this flower thingy made of clay..
went to the crematorium with loads on my mind...

i made a promise to you, when you were at your last breathe..and i've sealed it with my heart...
felt like giving up..but because promises are never meant to be broken...i tried my best, and i will forever..till the day, i see u in heaven...

would u know my name, if i saw you in heaven?
would it still be the same, if i saw you in heaven?
would u hold my hand, if i saw you in heaven
would u help me stand, if i saw you in heaven?
Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure,And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven.

time flies...one year had passed swiftly...pray for God to help you in everyway you are weak...
life is always unfair there's no doubt, soemtimes, everything seemed to be crashing your way,
but remember, you have a choice, a choice to be where you are, or move on...

take care,
Lionel..

friends...

attachment tomrow! i hope everythings goes smoothly...
u guys won't believe it...i've seen imitation LV wallet, Gucci wallet (which someone is using), immitation Nike, adiddas..but check this out...i found a place which sells imitation Honey stars!
it's called "strawberry stars" can u believe it? soon, they will have chocolate stars, mango stars...who knows...yakult stars...=)

was in orchard yesterday waiting for my forever banana time friend to come when a sweet little girl came up to me for donation...she asked me to make a donation of $10 and i'll get a small bear...i rejected her politely and told her i dun mind a $2 donation instead...when i was about to walk away...she said " bu yao gian peng leh" i almost fainted right in the middle of the human traffic....first time in my life a girl said i was gian peng....

sometimes friends are like a sip of wine
every drip in your mouth are good memories..
sometimes friends are like stars
when you are lost in the dark, they twinkle in the sky
sometimes friends are like an encycopedia
every question you shoot, they seemed to know all the answers...
sometimes friends are like a pit of fire
no matter how cold you feel, everytime you need warmth, they'll be there...

take care,
Lionel

finally...

though exams are finally over, the fact that i'm going to do so badly still lingers in my mind...
and i still can't believe, how in the world did i integrate 10 and got 0...sigh....
that's it world...lionel is gone...

had cell group today, and pamela almost blew my secret quest away...thanks pamela...-_-...
and i'm so nice to treat her holicks downstairs...tsk tsk...where one earth can you find a friend who treats his depress friend holicks...i mean..like where...sigh...

was quite upset with one of my classmates recently...she msged me at night and told me she might not be joining us for our fyp...it's frustrating because, we already planned to do together. and the whole class has their teams...no wonder everyone tells us that fyp always strains friendship in classes...okie forget it...i'll think of something...

okie..i have 30% voucher for quilsilver stuff..so i plan to get a wallet and a nice shirt...i better use some of my money before i blow it all on food...=)

now that i've come into terms with something, i feel more peaceful...though still a little depress...arghh..life's like that isn't it?
when you can't have anything, you are desperate, when you have everything, you are spoilt...
solution? somethings you take, somethings you have to leave...

watched underworldevolution--7popcorns...really good show...but rather gruesome and bloody..
and yes...i was checked AGAIN...i mean serisouly, do i look that young...

nafpha test is coming! my goodness....my 6 kueh lapis abs have become, like a mountain of ice kachang..exercise anyone? i miss fantasy island...=(


take care, Lionel

the most painful...

last paper tomorow, engineering maths...
i hope i dun get a concussion the second i see the paper...
i'm having depression this few days...
most probably i would fail a few of my modules, because, i really did terribly,
i'm not even hoping for a 50/100 pass...but a satisfactory pass of 40/100...

blen's death anniversary is comign soon...and i duno what will happen again...
i no longer feel sad, i no longer feel pain...my heart is numbed...

i duno waht's the most painful things in life for you guys...apart from death of your love ones,
friendship problems, relationship problems, studies problem, family quarrels...
for me the most painful is...

"TO LOVE, AND NOT BE LOVED"

take care, lionel..
