Ok. First thing first, applied leave for a day to travel back to kuching to have my MUET exams. Finally got the chance to update my blog. Seriously, I still think the idea of blogging the progress isnt a good idea. Not everyone has a laptop and a wireless connection with them. Not every site office provide you with internet. And most importantly not everyone are working at our home town. 

Well complaints aren't making any progress anywhere. Might as well just post a brief update of my training so far. Well, currently I am stationed at a site at Sibu, which is a government project of building a balai polis or a police station at Sungai Merah, Jalan teku. Well, firstly, the Balai is big, and kinda look like a Police HQ if you asked me. But then again, it's still big after so many days, bigger then a normal balai, but still smaller than a HQ after close inspection.

Day1, meeting with my colleagues. Guess what, nice and crazy people. Sitting in the site office, consisting of a team of crazy guys. Our team act as the management team for the overall project for the main contractor, Arudaya. Havent got any chance to catch their photo but will post it up when i have the chance, but basically, team consists of Bong (the boss), Ah Ki (site coordinator), Roy (Site admin), Darryl (safety supervisor), Lewis (Arudaya representative, QA/QC engineer), Chris (M&E coordinator), Michael (Site Clerk), Ting, David, and me (supervisors).

Well scope of work? basically the whole project consists of 2 block of 8 storey apartment (Kelas F), semi d and bungalow (Kelas D and E) a huge Balai polis with 21 units of lokap, Surau, 2 PSU, stor barang kes, and sewage treatment plant. Not to forget a one to one size standard soccer field and sports facilities. My working area? the balai polis. I was tasked to supervise the work of balai and the first thing that they tell me is the balai had been halt at work for 3 months. Reasons? Material, drawing changes, and subcons. 

First day of work, catching back up with the drawings and details of things that i need to know. nothing much going on at site since that day was the chinese "ching ming" festival. Most of the people are release to do their rituals. Well, i went to the balai area and do some survey and checking up on the progress. so basically, the lock up area is undergoing bricklaying and first floor and groundfloor structures are basically done, except on some of the structures.to my understanding, currently there are no structural sub con working on the balai yet. So, first week, my job? inspect on the bricklaying progress and make sure the new archi subcon know about the layout and build accordingly to the drawing. Minimizing error of construction and construct with speed is the main concern currently as the whole project is in EoT number 1. the lockup is full with different sizes of grilles. Coordinate the needed material by subcon is also one of the concern here. well, first week, progress is good. Did see some fast progress on the balai lock up area. Pictures.. Yea, i forget to bring back my phone cable, and i do not own a digi cam, so pictures will be uploaded when i get my hand on card reader, and internet =___=.

That's all for the first week i guess, working monday to saturday, 7:30am to 6:45pm daily. Busy life, time flies, boring night time, early sleeping, moving into week 2.
