Islander's life

Im on my 3rd week there. Still counting.
Food sucks.
Lesson sucks.
but, practicals rock my feet!

Imagine a 12-platform high distillation column. And then imagine the sea breeze blowing in your hair. you get to imagine my experience for the night.

It was the 5th day of my industrial attachment - training at Jurong Island, Chemical Process Techonology Center, and the second day of our practicals. I got the chance to mount a really high distillation column and get to take in the rest of Jurong Island from all the way up there. It may not be considered something BIG or really awesome but to a chemical student, who after 3 days of having done nothing but lectures at a really cold auditorium, reaching the top of the column was indeed something huh...

In addition to the sea breeze and cool view (the island looked really different at night with all the lights lit up at the various plants), there was the smell of diesel or some other weird stuffs that hung perpetually in the air, but it's not everyday where u get to climb a distillation column (and I mean climbing with your hands and legs, not stairs!!!). Well, not unless you work as a technician or specialist at a plant, then most probably one will dread the long climb up.

It's an experience for me, like many others.
