Its my 26th day of work

Todays been a rather odd working day. Happy dude, the most hardworking among the four of us has suddenly gone funny. Apparently no mood to do anything. We suspect he has a girl problem, but being the man he is he refuses to say anything. He just pretends to be happy but every now and then lapses into sudden moments of silence. Anyway, since he didnt feel like doing anything, we spent most of the day on site observing the latest changes and asking questions ... then in the canteen with our breakfast coffee... then to Tesco to get somethin to eat.... then we went for a little joyride down to the Jelutong expressway site..then to E-Gate to take photos and do nothing... to the guard house to chit chat with the safety dude.. then back to Tesco for drinks. Then we went back to the office.

I hope we have another day like this. Most enjoyable :)

Anyways, i did promise pics so...
This would be me in my very own safety helmet. And i get to keep it :)Yes, I know its a little too big.. but I have a small head, cant do anything about it. This pic was taken at the IJM concrete plant in Jelutong.

Yup... These would be our safety shoes. Solid and heavy (think steel toes - a car could roll over and you wouldnt feel it), its one heck of a chore walking to and fro from the site every day since i cant afford to drive. Its like wearing weights on your ankles...and its about all i can do to drag myself uphill after spendin half the day out in the sun.. even the contractors have noticed how black ive gotten... *sigh*

This is the view from one of the recently completed projects E Gate.. Its right next to the project im stationed at, so whenever we get bored, we come here to loaf around in the shade and take photos. As you can see, the views a rather pretty one...didnt think the coastal highway looked like this, did ya??

Did this all by myself..Took me quite some time to get everything perfect, and yes im very proud of my very first drawing done in the site office so im putting it up anyway

This is half of the site im on. It was taken a couple of weeks ago, so theres much more to be seen now... ground is done, and first floor comin up. Its hot and dusty... and the labourers work all day...Till I came here, i never new that much effort had to be put into building... And I still dont understand how they can work all day in the blazing heat cos after a while i feel like dropping. Now i carry an umbrella. I dont care if its looks stupid, its HOT!

Ishuet celebrated her 21st Birthday a little over a week ago.

Happy Birthday Shuet!! As usual, we gathered at her house to celebrate.. and we came home with our own souveniers. Ishuets place would be the only house where you celebrate her birthday and you come home with something for yourself :)

This would be what we came home with - bracelets. And our own plate.. with food... Ishuet's moms spaghetti rocks! For a few days in a row, i had it for dinner .. and im still not sick of it. Actually im gettin hungry now....

If you've noticed i havent been updating, its because Jon came back for his hols so ive been spending most nights with him (or with my girls) .. and he left to go back for his short sem yesterday morning :( And i miss him. I really, really miss him. Three weeks to go and counting..

Oh yea... if i look bad in the pic its cos its after a night of chilling...
