当我听到我的supervisor说他从来没有给过attachment student grade A的时候，我心开始酸气来了。
现在成绩卡在中间的我其实我只需要在接下来的两个学期考满分，就可能可以拿到first class。
但是呢，再想想，接下来的两个学期，一共有8个科目需要做assignment，赢完了咯，一直以来有assignment的科目都拿到不好的成绩。所以，就辛苦了。

但是再想想，其实，A不A有那么重要吗？
我在UPS有学到东西吗？
仔细想了一想：
我要感谢很多人，我的经理，我的工程师们都是我的导师。他们给了我不少教导，我很感激他们。
尤其是在工程管理方面，是课堂上从来学习不到的东西，在工地里竟然学习不少。
而且，因为工地都是很和气的一个地方，大伙儿相处得还蛮开心，比起其他的同学们，我觉得我还算很幸运。

拿到B，我觉得没什么，因为我觉得我所学的是物超所值，所谓一分耕耘，一分收获。这句话让我深深体会到它背后的意义。
我不懂其他人的A是怎样来的，他们的付出有多少小弟不懂。
但是，我懂我的B是怎样来的，至少不是利用什么关系来争取，得到的也对得起良心，而且，实习期间也让我把人生观放得更开。
未来职场上，难免会有摩擦，跟上司也是一样，不同的意见总会有的。
所以，趁现在就锻炼自己。
我对我自己说，怎样都会做好自己的分内事，无论上司，经理的要求有多高，都尽力尽量地满足他们。如果他们说OK，我就放心了，应该不会有很大问题了。
就算他们还不满意，但是我们是学生的事实是无法改变的，他们还是会体谅我们的能力。

这个大家庭，我永远记得你们。你们给了我很多：知识，处事态度，改变观点，人际关系，技术。和大家和睦相处的日子我会记着你们，希望这项工程能顺利完成，加油UPS！

Malaysia Boleh!但是它真的Boleh 吗??

Malaysia，我的国家，我成长的地方。
就算它几堕落，它依然是我爱的国家。
国家归国家，政府归政府，政策归政策。
一个好的政府+一个烂的国家====>好国家；
一个好的国家+一个烂的政府====>烂国家；
一个好国家+一个好政府+一个烂政策====>烂国家。
所以说，政策方面还是需要改进。从老马开始说起的马来西亚能！它到底可以“能”到几时？
为了保住权利地位，官员们和一些极端分子都利用政策来镇压其他种族。
为了利益，贪污不断，这个吃那个也吃，吃到国库空虚。
好了，马来西亚能!!
能破产!这个是肯定的事情，国家尽管天然资源丰富，一旦没有好好利用，都是等于零的。
能把人才不断送出去！国家没有的发展。
一个好的苹果既然有那么大的虫在里面，投资者看了也心寒。

话不多说，我期待的是，马来西亚到底“能”到多久，才肯把Jib哥的那个高收入社会实现。
我的所谓高收入不是2000 ～3000，而是多于4000的月入。3000能养活谁啊请问？

透明度呢？
公平呢？
奖学金分配大家有目共睹的，所以还是离理想情况差了一载。

人民的心声不可忽略，华社每次都很像很可怜。其实，还有更可怜的社会。所以，有时候，华社别太刚愎自用，或许用另外的一个角度去探讨，你会发现其实你已经算不错了~

Introduction to Civil Engineering - Laymen version

All laymen understand civil engineers build something. Yes. Civil engineering is a field where you can discover engineers are busy doing the building jobs apparently. Actually, it can be categorized into three main branches.
Compare to what I knew few years ago(all I knew was build and build and build) and now, civil engineering can be divided into structural consultants, contractors and developers.

DEVELOPERS:

Both of the companies above are the leading developers in Singapore. Their main job scope is drafting out master planning for the area bought, recruiting consultants and architects to design the building they want to develop and also involve in tendering projects. How do civil engineers get involved in this developer's job? Their involvement make great decision in developing an area such as planning skills and the structural knowledge prior to the submission of the plan layout to the architects and consultants(who will make a deeper analysis in design).

STRUCTURAL CONSULTANTS:

Structural consultants do the structural design job. Putting the imposed loads and dead loads into their calculations and then solve the problems. Other than putting imposed loads or dead loads, they also work out to design the beams, inserting the column into the buildings, design the reinforcement to the whole concrete structures and etc. Most of the structural consultants are preferable to have a great analytical skills, which means their brain are more powerful than a computer software( could it be?). 

CONTRACTORS:

Before the building jobs begin, the contractors work out the master planning or the milestones of the building projects and also the schedule of the building jobs. This is to make sure every single detail of the plan can be followed accordingly. After getting the design works from architects and consultants( there are many consultants out there in different field involving in one project, like M&E, landscape, kitchen etc.), the contractors can start their building works, starting from piling to superstructures. They also need to coordinate with sub-contractors to make sure every building job is properly done. Site engineers always prepare to solve the on-site problems immediately or issue the problems to consultants.

In conclusion, few years ago, when I was firstly introduced to civil engineering, I thought it is only main contractors job. However, with the exposure of the internship recently, it is not only that. The three categories sum up the job scope of a civil engineer!
