NTU talk


Today i had went for the NTU talk in Grand HYATT Singapore located at Scotts Road. After listening to all the course talks, i had decided to read more on Civil Eng and EEE. Though i had always thought of going into Business courses, i felt that Civil Eng will be more enjoyable since the experience at TGL. There are lots of thoughts running in my mind and basically i cannot decide on the field specialization that i supposed to choose after i get into the course. Everything seems fine to me but i know if i make a wrong choice i will definitely regret it in the future. I really hope someone can give me guidance on how i should choose in Uni.

Btw, Internship is ending in one week time and i feel i will not be able to finish all the tasks i had at TGL. Hopefully i can arrange everything before i leave and best if Mr Chan ask me to continue after the internship :D Wonder how much will he be willing to pay me :P

No matter what the outcome is i just want to say i had enjoyed my 15 weeks at TGL. The stress may be high but the amount of knowledge i had gained has far exceeded the stress level. I would like to thank Mr Chan and Ms Lily for taking care of me and wish that TGL will continue to do well in the future :D

Chinese New Year Holiday & EPS System

This week is a 2 day week since work only started on Thursday. I had a great 5 days packed with activities and visiting to relatives houses. But the only disadvantage to having such a long holiday is the number of emails and mails that had been sent and posted during the CNY period. It took me 2 full hours to finish reading and reply to those inquiries from the resident. The number of phone calls did not stop even during lunch time....

I am barely able to read up more on the Electronic Parking System (EPS) that Mr Chan hopes to implement on one of our commercial buildings. Let me share with you some basics to EPS.

Common EPS that can be found in most carparks


Components of EPS System

The following is how the system work when a car enters a EPS equipped carpark;

1) Upon Entering; EPS Antenna reads the IU serial number in the car, non-local motorist will have to insert their cashcard into the Entry Station to get a ticket

2) Data will be stored in the validation terminal/ Data of season parker will be stored in here too

3) Upon exit; those with IU will had their fee deducted directly, while those with tickets will have to insert their cashcards to pay for the fee

The reason why i chose to read up is because of the meeting with the supplier of this EPS. Hopefully the meeting will not dragged and we will be able to focus more on the cost of this system.

Spring Cleaning/Painting and Work!!


Lunar New Year is round the corner and i had been busy at home. Everyday after work i had to clean and paint my house. It is the worse week for my body and i will barely survive if there is work tomorrow...

The most draggy assignment for this week is the continuous work schedule for Gentle Reflection. Let me state the things i had to supervise and coordinate with both contractor & owners;

1) Inform and make sure all cars is out and specialist start their work on time and end on time
2) Coordinate the draining of reflective pool water before and after the work at the roof terrace
3) Supervise the rectification work for 3 units and update the progress everyday

Luckily Mr Chan asked Huo Lin to help out with the supervision, i just have to make sure everything is going according to plan. After working for so many weeks i had learnt to include buffer time for work so that the time frame known to owners will always be more than required. This is to prevent negative and sarcastic feedback from the owners.

Next Wednesday will be a company off day, will update if Mr Chan gives me a blessing ( Hong Bao) next Thursday :D Happy Lunar New Year to all my family/friends/brother&sister/lecturers/acquaintances/ etc, May the Dragon be with YOU!!
