� most western side of Singapore
Tuas. Tht's where it is & you peeps must be wondering why i went there right? Well was kinda dragged in by my camp mate 2 do some "Sai Kang" for my unit, which involves travelling all � way 2 tht place. Goin g for it has its good & bad points. Good thing being i get 2 get out of � camp 2 take a breather & tht it kinda took up my entire day, allowing me 2 escape frm � workshop as well as being arrowed 2 do tis & tht. Ok, i knw it sounds contradicting since i was being arrowed 2 do tis. � bad thing is tht i had 2 carry loads of stuff under � hot weather which meant tht i perspired like shit while doing so. I suffered injury frm it as well, due 2 � reckless driving.
Alright, � reason i was there was simple, it was 2 dump all � unwanted stuff my camp was throwing away due 2 a Logistics Readiness Inspection (LRI) tht is coming up & incinerating it. Yup, tht means tht i was at � incineration plant at Tuas. It was an eye opener for me since i've nvr been 2 an incineration plant & to such a western part of Singapore. Tuas is really a place full of factories wth temperatures higher than normal i tell ya, at least tht's wat i think. I guess it's becauz of � lack of greeneries tht's why � higher temperature. Tht aside, � incineration plant was 7 storeys high (as wat i've been told), wth 2 huge chimneys reaching high up into � sky. � place was pretty stinky too, since almost anything & everything was being dumped there, frm rubbish to tyres to furnitures to scrap metals etc.
Shall describe how � inside looks like 2 � best of my ability, since i'm not really very good in describing: Upon driving up 2 � dumping place & registration, we went into one of � bays where � vehicle cld be parked. � bays all lead 2 a common dumping place, which was like a rectangular pit tht was pretty deep. All we need 2 do was 2 push everything out of � tunnel, � back facing � pit & they will automatically drop into it. Totally enjoyed dumping all � stuff tht we loaded onto � 5 tonne tunnel, it was like venting our anger while we were doing so. It took us a very short time to dump everything as compared 2 loading up. While loading � stuff was a hassle, dumping them was a breeze. H/e, was pretty afraid initially cauz once you fall into � pit, i don't think you wld ever get a chance 2 get out. Fortunately, they did provide us wth detachable safety waist bands, for us 2 hook onto our vehicle 2 prevent us frm falling into � pit
Oh & did you knw tht we wld actually hve 2 pay 2 dump watever we want 2 there, depending on how heavy � load is? For my case, we paid $145, which i thought was pretty expensive. Think SAF really knws how 2 waste money man. There are actually certain things tht cld be sold 2 � Karang Guni 2 earn a little bit of money, instd of jus throwing it away & having 2 pay in order 2 do so. Think they cld hve save up tht amt of money 2 increase � pay, instd of wasting it away like tht. Am very tired right now, wld be heading to bed now since there's nothing much 2 do. 2 more days 2 go......
