What a last day!
firstly, a very big 'sorry' to all my readers out there. I know i have not been updating my blog with due diligence. I will try to update more regularly from now onwards.
today is officially the last day of my internship and i guess there's no better way to end it than to attend a naming ceremony.
some background info: whenever keppel complete the building of an oil rig or a ship, there will be a ceremony whereby the owners will name the rig/ship and bless it, after which all guests are invited for a tour of the rig/ship n to the buffet spread available.
As such, i went onto this rig called the West Prospero. it's my first time going up onto a rig and i m so excited abt it. because i guess it's not an everyday event that u will get to go on board a newly build rig. more importantly, i think it's quite ashame to b an offshore/marine scholar if i have never step onto a rig.
the rig was majestic and i think mankind are really great. i was so fascinated by the way all the pipes, equipments etc are joined together to form part of the rig. it was an engineering achievement and this is a good testimonial to the brillance of mankind. thou i must admit it's not always that this brillance of mankind is put to gd use.
i took quite a number of photos. hopefully i will get the photos fast and i can post them on my blog. i wld strongly recommend everyone to go on board a rig if u guys have a chance to do so.
next, the food was wonderful too. it's an international buffet with free flow of ben n jerry ice cream. the door gift was a crystal block with the design n name of the oil rig encraved in it.
on the whole, i m pretty satisfied with my internship and i hope to get a gd break now before school starts. for those who want a short getaway (even if it means going to sentosa), pls let me know k. i will b more than willing to join u guys!
