ITP In Tuas (With Tweets!)

As you all know, all polytechnic students are required to attach themselves to a particular company related to their course of study, so as to 'experience and also prepare us for the workforce in the future'.

Being an engineering student, it's no surprise to be attached to an engineering company. But little did I know that the company I was attached to, is based in the deep west of Singapore - Tuas! Even though the school did mention to find a company close to your residential area, but still, it hurts to go all the way to Tuas. And me staying in the north just make it worse! I've to wake up earlier than I usually do so as to catch the FIRST train! Otherwise, I would be late for work. :(

Even though this Industrial Training Programme (ITP) only lasted slightly more than a month, it was tough and at long last, I've pulled through!

I've also tweeted every single working day from Mar 7 - Apr 16 2011, a total of 36 days. Enjoy reading!
