The week before was terribly hectic. I have to shift gear to speed mode where everything has to be doubly-fast! Though, it was an energy-draining week, but I have to admit that most tasks were well performed with minimum hurdles to overcome. Overall, I'm completely satisfied with things are.

Got to meet some new clients from Jurong Corp last Tuesday . We were introduced to some of their new projects. We will be starting a Business Park project for One-North. Since I was already involved doing the simulation of the Master Plan a few years back, I am really looking forward to continue my involvement further.

It was a great introduction with the good people from Jurong Corp. I had the chance to introduce my firm, Zuetech, to them and they were quite impressed with projects that we had undertook. I hope that could instill some level of confidence in them before we move on to the next level.

Wednesday was doing site visits during most of the day. Went to Tan Tock Seng Hospital to do some site checkings for the new escalator works at the basement level.

Minor issues cropped up, but the men were quick to find solutions before the RI inspections next week. So, well done boys!

Thursday was in office for a while. Finishing stack of workloads which had to be postponed for the past few days. Clearing off emails and reverting necessary ones.

Tai YuanYvonne called me on the phone later in the afternoon. She planned to visit Tai Yuan Heights for her new reconstruction project. So met up with her later in the evening to discuss some technical matters.

Made a trip later in the afternoon to Tai Yuan again for site measurement. It was drizzling before we had the chance to tour the site. But managed to make a thorough checks in the later part, although we caught ourselves a little wet.

Then came Friday. It was supposed to be the start of the weekend and fit for chilling out, but things seems not to be slowing down any moment. Meeting already started at 10am. I had to do project briefing to the builders and engineers to get them prepared for the upcoming inspections for the hospital works.Some outstanding works still in progress. So they have about a week to rectifiy things and adjust to the schedule.

Saturday made a trip back to office to finish up building plans for Yvonne. We were hoping to submit by the end of the day. Unfortunately, some design issues cropped up. Accuracy and precision to each details were commented.

So, after spending the whole afternoon amending the design, she finally aborted the process. I believed she wasn't very pleased with the outcome and I wasn't too. But then, it was a bit too late to launch the submission. So we have do it after this weekend.

I can anticipate that I'll be quite occupied next week. We'll be at JTC Summit setting up office for the drafting team.  Got an email from client yesterday, requesting for their resumes. I hope Shawn should be able to get a few guys on board by now.

Really hope the coming week will be much easier for us. I don't want to miss the movie outing with the guys later this Friday. :)
