Xx Bye CPTC, Hello Drunken Days xXThe 6 weeks of training has finally come to an end today with a "graduation ceremony". Went home with the "Excellence Award" thingy. Sheesh, it was based on marks, and what Ibrahim (my group trainer) said to me was a little offensive. It wasn't a big insult though, like maybe a sand grain in your mouth or something. I guess it wasn't intentional. Haha. Anyway, it can get really boring at times over there, but 'twas pretty fun towards the end. 12-hour shift training and firefighting were probably the best parts ever.
Had the final exam yesterday. It was tougher than mid-term, in my opinion, but I was quite sure I could still pass. And I was the only one in my group that did. Haha, so bloody hao lian. Again, pulled this stunt off with only 4 hours of study.
Anyway, it's been a good learning experience I guess. Get to see the real things in action instead of learning them in theory only. It's been fun climbing the structures and equipment as well. Haha.

Trainer Ibrahim in the brown PPE, looking stupid. Haha.Secretly taken in the middle of the night at around 5am. =P
View of the plant, or Kerosene Distillation Unit, or KDU from Process Plant Street. Aforementioned in previous post, C-100 is the tall pipe-like structure on the right. Remember climbing to the top and feeling it sway in the wind? =)

Alright. A few of my classmates and I went to Timbre@Substation last night. Damn, it was quite entertaining. Good company, good food, and most importantly - good booze. Ha. We went during Happy Hour(s), so there was a 1-for-1 offer for Erdinger Pint. Who could pass up such a fantastic offer? Haha. I think most of us drank till we were pretty high. I started "heh heh"-ing (for no reason) like Elena did when she was high during last year's class chalet. Aha. The chalet videos sure brought back some fun memories. It was quite scary to see WJ drink like a fish. Alvin was like "WJ, drinking beer got no AD one."
Blew away $60 just like that. Haha. I shall never drink any cocktails forever! (Goddamn Chocolate Cocktail!) What a waste of money. All the cocktails that we ordered tasted similar - like crap. In fact, they all tasted like cough syrup gone really really wrong. We waited for the band to start at 10pm. It was quite disappointing. I really hated the singer's voice - raspy. Plus they were playing songs that none of us have ever heard before. Not our cuppa tea, I guess. Left after ~15 mins after they started playing. I think we took quite a hell lot of pictures as well. I don't have it right now, but shall post it once I get them.
Well then, it's back to school next Monday. Final ~18 weeks. Gonna try to give this final semester a good kick in the butt. Ha. Advanced Engineering Math, seriously hope I can cope with it. I know I probably won't make it to be the top graduate of CBE, unlike "Wonderboy", but I'll still push for the Diploma with Merit. *Fingers Crossed*
Guess that's all for now. Watch out for the photos to be posted (provided they are good la)! Auf wiedersehen!
