Oh..

The end of my 3 months jolly in this department.

In a span of 3 months, my understanding of this industry has deepened and widened tremendously.

The no. 1 person i need to thank is Prof A. Koh. If not for her, i would still be stagnant at that beginning level. She gave me the precious opportunity to go for the class that opened me up to the industry. Not just to the world of newbuilding. I mean the whole industry. The information, motivation and exposure are important to me. The aquaintance with the 3 industry players is a blessing too. Though im not very close to them, but their words are sources of motivation for me. They provided me with words of encouragement and wisdom. Professional help, i would say.

And Im very happy that after attending the 2nd industry exhibition, im better able to appreciate the way to get information from the different booths. And we had a fun time yesterday cos we, as in me with my 3 other female colleagues, like 4 ladies altogether were walking around the booths. This is a male dominated industry, so you can imagine that 90% of the exhibitors are male. Haha.. yes we got a lot of attention, and a lot of freebies too. And im glad to be walking around with them - one procurement exec and one estimator plus another new comer who, like the estimator, has engineering background. So, my PE is good with the industry, she knows the vendors and the other two with engine background are good to help me clear my technical queries.

Im not sure how things would be.

Im giving myself 4 years here i think. And during these 4 years, I would like to go pursue my ICS.

And I shall do that unless haha.. somebody decides that i should do otherwise!!
