Lang Tengah Getaway
as i’ve promised, lang tengah~ a place to remember…
don’t be fooled by this bare piece of land. it still provides a breathtakin view on other side. trust me, my colleague was overjoyed when he finally stepped on that soil.
i told you he was overjoyed, didn’t i?
jungle trekkin wasn’t as easy and fun as i’ve expected. although there were existin trails, part of it was covered by long grass and tall trees, makin you wonder if a snake will suddenly slither out of nowhere and attack you.
we even trekked in our formal wear! how hard that is you know? at least we don’t have to trek at night.
i wonder what kind of animal lives in this hole
honestly, if you are not suspectin anythin at the moment (like why isn’t there photos of the beach or resort), you must’ve really trusted me on everythin i’ve wrote in this post, which is not entirely true =P
first off, the above pictures are not photos of lang tengah, but a soon-to-be developed usj onecity. i followed a site engineer, an architect, and two more civil engineers to “survey” the site terrain. the picture of a hole is an example of a borehole drilled to investigate the properties of the soil. this is very important for cost estimation and design of a proposed development.
trust me, it isn’t fun bein a site engineer. when it comes to inspectin a site, you have to endure the heat from the sun, make sure everythin turns out accordin to plan, and be able to manage people. okay, that ain’t so bad compared to a civil & structural engineer. a structural engineer has to design accordin to architectural drawin, bears all consequences resultin from any failure of his/her design (judgement), grows alot of white hair at the age of 30, and the “best” part is he/she is gettin lower pay compared to an architect.
phua chu kang boots?
life isn’t fair eh? nevermind. this weekend should be fun with a company trip to lang tengah!
