Shipyard Visit

15 June 09
Hey, this is my first time going to the shipyard! The unbelievable thing is that when I. myself at the shipyard, I feel extremely small! The ship and oil rigs will about a hundred or thousand times bigger than us and seriously, I can't believe it!
Today, a whole group of us went to one of the shipyards in Singapore, the Sembawang Shipyard. What I know is that, the shipyard is a naval base then back in the 1930s. The British sell over to Singapore government in just a dollar, now been developed as a shipyard doing some kind of business.
When we arrived, we were been briefed by the engineers there. Before we gone to a tour in the shipyard, we were asked to put on our helmet and goggles. The tour is by bus. If we were asked to come out from the bus, we were need to wear our goggles and helmets as a safety precaution. After the whole tour, actually, I don't understand much but I'm happy about going there.
Actually wanting to put some photos taken at the shipyard but the people there warned us that photos are not to be published on the website or blog or etc. I think there are some photos taken at the bus but these photos are with someone else.
