Site Visit : Water Transfer Tunnel

Well it has been a very long time since I have the chance to visit a workplace/site. Last month, to be exact on 13th of December 2011, we (my colleagues, students and I) managed to pay a visit to Pahang-Selangor Water Transfer project. It is a Shimizu-Nishimatsu-UEM-IJM Joint Venture tunnel project. 

Okey autobots, let's roll out!!

This is their site office, nice huh? It is super duper clean, and everybody was like "is this the site? Seriously?"

No wonder, this project was loaned by the Japanese (I cant remember the name of the funder), by 1% interest rate. Ambik ko, sampai interest rate pun kitorang tahu. So the system of work is strictly Japanese-way-of-work. One of the worker told us, the Japanese themselves will pick any cigarette end on the floor and put it in the pocket. 

This tunnel project is more than 40% completed, with approval from DOE Malaysia and yet to received the BEST Safety and Health award from DOSH!!! And of course by following the Japanese requirements also. They informed us that the workers' house have an air conditioner at every unit and Astro! Kaya gilos!! 

The site. Clean and clear. ;p

After a short briefing by the KeTTHA officer, we were given the appropriate Personal Protective Equipments (PPEs) and zassss took a walk to the site. The explanation was given by the Japanese engineer, Mr Shuri-san. 

Mr. Shuri-san. 

Lets take a look on the safety measures installed. 

This is Tally Board, where you have to flip your card before you enter, AND after you leave the tunnel. This is to make sure how many workers/visitors are in the tunnel in case any emergency happens. Oh, they have their own medic room and an ambulance. Thumbs up!

Emergency phone. The Safety and Health Officer even took the oxygen level and also the level of hazardous gases . When he have confirmed the level is safe, only then we were allowed to enter the tunnel. 

Inside one of the Adit. Sila gunakan laluan pejalan kaki ye anak-anak. 

This is where they treat the waste water before any discharging. DOE requirement. 

On the engineering aspect, sorryla tak terror. But all I know they are using 2 types of machines, which costs millions each.  The picture above is called TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine). They call it TIARA-MIDORI. Midori tu maksudnya hijau. This kind of machine jugak yang korek SMART Tunnel tuu. This machine even have a part where they can hide if emergency happens. Siap ada mask, breathing apparatus, etc. 

All the dust/waste from the digging process will be transferred using the conveyor. Hassle free from using the lorries. look, the floor sangat bersih kan, boleh main kejar-kejar lagi. 


We are more excited to meet the Japanese Engineer. *gatal. They are so young! Yet handle a big  project! 

I cant remember his name. In his 20s. Masa aku nak balik siap tolong tutupkan pintu kereta. Orang Jepun memang gentleman.

If not mistaken, he is Suzuki-san. My friend said he looks like a K-Pop singer. Really? I dont listen to K-pop, sorry. They know a few Malay words, masa bos dia ajak makan, dia reply "sudah kenyang", bila tanya how many years have you been here, dia reply "2 tahun setengah". Hehe comel comel. Amboi amboi. 

Bercuti secara percuma di Bukit Gambang Resort City

Hoho it's been a long time since I wrote something here. Berhabuk sudahhhh. Puuff pufff.  Last month (7th Dec 2011 to be exact), we are invited to the company's annual dinner. It was held at Bukit Gambang. Our Big Boss is the owner of the resort. Wallawehhhhh. Terbayang tempat ni mesti best. Ok nak buat laporan ringkas.

Who else yang camwhore dalam family ni, kalau bukan Muhammad Falah?? hew hew. Kami berkonvoi 4 buah kereta ke sana. Leader konvoi adalah Puan Marina, Programme Manager untuk Real Estate course.  Vroom vrooom

Kitorang diberitahu boleh check-in pukul 12, so kitorang bertolak pukul 9 dan sampai tepat2 pukul 12. Nasib baik aku terus dapat bilik, kawan2 ada yang dpt kunci hampir pukul 3. Can you imagine?? Kesian depa. Aku dapat family suite. Kalau yg tak kawen lagi dapat studio suite kalau tak silap. 

Pukul 3 dorang organize trasure hunt, tapi tak compulsory untuk join. So plan aku adalah berilek-rilek melayan pemandangan. 

Jomm terus masuk bilik, eh eh. 

Ni adik pulak yang enterframe. Jakun sungguh anak2 aku, berjalan je tak berenti dapat masuk bilik ni. 

Pandangan separuh bilik pertama. 

Pandangan separuh jugak bilik air. Ada shower je with water heater, takde bath tub okk. Jangan terlalu mengharap. Ada 2 bilik ye, bilik lagi satu tak ambik gambar. 

Tempat membancuh kopi. 

Ruang tengok tv. 

Ni adelah apa yang kami pekerja dapat free. Fun fair (tak sempat pegi), water park dan breakfast besok pagi. Lunch besok pandai2 sendiri. Malam kang dah dinner so simpan perut ye. 

Tetamu terhormat. Tema adalah 70's. Seperti biasa aku pakai mmg sempoi. Itupun aku gi jugak beli baju, sebab rasa macam kawan2 aku semua beli baju kannn. Haha. Walaupun tak berapa menepati tema, tapi puas hati makan malam tu sedap gak. Hidang tauuuu. 

Oh no pic of me. Malu malu kucing. Malam tu kami buat persembahan fashion show. Kak Aishatur sangat sporting, sarat2 mengandung pun join jadi pengacara untuk fashion show tu. 

Malam tu ada presentation about company kitorang, SENTORIA. Terus laki aku bising2, "kenapa tak beli IPO shares haritu? Rugi rugi" Company bagi harga baikkk punya sebelum masuk ke Bursa Saham. Err sorryla bab-bab saham ni I memamg tak pandai la. So redho je la, dateline submit form pun dah lama lepas. 

Of course ada lucky draw.. hadiah utama tv flat screen 42", kedua iPad2, ketiga camera Canon kot. Tapi kamera la. Sayangnya aku tak menang. Takpe, cuba lagi tahun depan. 

Pagi2 lepas brakfast terus ke water park. Gelojoh tak? Kat sini kalau kanak2 bawah 90 cm, dapat masuk free tauu.

Hero-hero tengah cari port best nak berendam.

Ni port pertama. Kitorang tak gi jauh2 pun, budak berdua ni takut air pulakkk. Bila ikan piranha atas tu jatuhkan air je, dia nangis sekuat hati. So cari port lain.

Oh ye boleh sewa pelampung kat sini. Sorry ye dik, acik tersnap punggung awak. 

Tempat ni namanya Coco Beach. Memang ada pasir pantai. Nampak tak tu? Sekali sekala akan datang ombak membelah pantai. Masa ni tak ramai lagi. Best la kat sini. 

Boleh main bola tampar pantai gak. Okeyla aku pun tak round sangat sebab ada dua askar ni. banyak lagi yang boleh explore (kalau ada rezeki tahun depan). 

Husband aku memang seronok gila mengalahkan anak2 dia lagi. Aku confuse tetiba. Baiklah, sekian saya melaporkan.
