First week internship

Attachment started 2 days ago. Excited and scary on the first day. Nothing to do at Jurong Island. Later of the day, realized that I had been posted to Changi New Water plant. I have been isolated from the group. All of them working at Jurong and I, myself only had to go and work at Changi. Not fair.

Hmmm, actually I cannot say totally not fair. Just that these 2 different location had its good and bad points.

Like in Jurong, the air isn't clean because the whole island is industries burning waste and emitting harmful gases everyday. Moreover working Sakra ( Sembcorp Ulitiltiy ) you only get to do the "everyday" stuff. Because the sakra plant had been there for centuries, many of the problems had been anticipated or rectified. You are performing nothing more than a robot, maintain here.. check check there.

Of course beside all the bad point, you are working inside the main building where all the bosses and important people get to see you, know you. Of course you tend to stand a better chance in aquiring something when you ask for.

Changi New water bring in its pre-commencing periods. You gets to know every bolts and nuts of the structure. Exposed to opportunity of learning things out of your job scope. More comprehensive learning. Being a newly born infant, the plant commencing with a beta period where water is conveyed in the pipes to test workability but not yet supplying to public officially. A lot of difficulties and unforeseen mishap is going to happen. Through this you really can learn together with all the people and include it in your final report and a value added.

Bad point is, no canteen within the 5km radius. Very inaccessible location. You have to packet food in the morning like 7.30am and then eat it at 12pm. Take note that the army regulation had stated that ration that are more than 4 hours old are strictly to be disposed. So imagine eating "overdue" food for 4 months.

With these contrary, now I am positioned into a dilemma. I was given the chance to choose to come back J.I if I want to. But the question is, should I??

Changi NEWater plant opened

SINGAPORE : Singapore’s largest and most advanced water reclamation plant — the Changi Water Reclamation Plant — will open next week. The pumping station at the new Changi Water Reclamation Plant is as high as a 25—storey building. The station collects all used water from the deep sewerage tunnels via gravity. The water then undergoes a treatment process at the plant before being discharged into the sea. Part of that treated water will be processed into NEWater when the NEWater plant, which is being built on the rooftop of treatment facilities, is ready. The NEWater factory which will be operational by May next year can produce 50 million gallons of treated water daily. This is equivalent to the volume of water in 90 Olympic—sized swimming pools. PUB said the Changi Water Reclamation plant stands out in its land use. "The designers have incorporated a space saving design concept — things like stack treatment tanks and also stack treatment facilities like our sludge treatment facil

Is finnciti a scam? a layman perspective

Recently, thru a friend introduced me a platform finnciti (previously known as smicap) where you can multiple your investment in folds. The return as per quoted is up to 100% just by holding your investment on hand. I was skeptical and interested at the same time so I went online to do a little research on my own. It is not difficult to return result by just searching: "Is finnciti a scam" or "Is smicap a scam". Reviews were in mixed bag. Some mention that they earned big bucks and its a platform for normal people to get richer while some other point out some resemblance of a scam structure and therefore classified finnciti as a scam platform. I am a layman using basic logic to analyst the concept and by no mean I am advising to invest or against it. But in my humble opinion, ALL INVESTMENT POSSESSES RISK AND PLEASE BE PRUDENT WHEN DOING ANY KINDS INVESTMENT AND ONLY INVEST IN YOUR MONEY THAT YOU CAN BEAR LOSING . SMICAP was established in 2007 by Singapor
