It was 25th of February 2011.
I remember that originally the day was started with a blue, mourning mood. Many things happened on me and really made me unbreathable..i have to be tough, to be strong...
Working under bad mood is really not a good idea...
All in my mind is just regarding to when can i finish the work and go back home?
Just in the moment i nearly decide to give up my day, a call had change everything..
My boss ask me whether interest to go for an inspection or not..without thinking much..i just answer : ok!
And the 360 degree changing of my day begun..
 |
"The jetty"
|
Wao!! Hohoho..i cant believe what will i experienced later when i saw this kind of unique jetty..
The bridge is made up of timber plank besides simple structure, shaky a bit, lots of 'gold' along the way, huge distance between two timber plank..well.. it still consider as-ok..really just OK!
 |
Part of the bridge (hiu..i m sweating)
|
I was informed that the purpose for this inspection is to withness the progress of work at the beacon and also for the PDA (Pile Driving/Dynamic Analysis)..
Honestly, this is the first time i really introduce to a structure call "beacon"..
While taking a 'boat' towards the barge..it really scary..haha..but i enjoy it on the other side..
 |
The boat..
|
Beacon ( Some would like to call them as Offshore vessel navigation light)
The weather is good, the wind is breezing..all these make me feel relax~

Tell you a secret...(I m the one and only female on this barge)
I manage to expose to the square pile, spun pile, how the PDA is constructed, and how efficient is the skilled workers..really amazing..

This is really a good lecture for me..it not only give me opportunity to visit a barge, but also teach me must be brave in any situation.. especially when you are in scare...
You have to trust that you will be fine..you will gain something after you go through the challenges..
I really feel it and i really understand it after i going through the following:
The 'staircase' for us to climb up the jetty..
 |
| Studying the structure of the'staircase' (How to function???any idea?) |
 |
| Fierce dogs is barking on us on the other side.. |
My first reaction is laugh..in state of asking: omg!what is tat?
I know i cant do anything but except hoping for the best..
Luckily, my boss and the gentlemen manage to help me to climb up the bridge..and now..i m safe and i m here telling you the story..
Amazing day + growing up day + a brave day!
= Happy day!!!^^
