Kampar CS (Engineers or labors?)

3 cars for our number of ppl.

We were working for HABITAT. Mr Fabio (if not mistaken) wanted us to wear the helmet all the time for safety purpose.











Yellow for the normal rank builders, while white for a higher rank ppl, usually architect or engineers.

Mr Fabio was a carpenter until he left his hometown to get involved in HABITAT.
He started to work here just few months ago.

These are concrete blocks. It's hollow as they need reduce the weight that will impose on soil. The soil is quite soft FYI, and it's besides a river. So the bearing capacity of the soil might not be that good with water in the soil.













Oh ya. Before I get started, let me tell you what project we were doing.
We were assigned 2 tasks,

1. Build a retaining wall
2. Build a house (b4 that already 50% done)
   

Outside, not far from the parked car, is the site for the retaining wall.
RETAINING WALL - is a wall that used to hold the sand from moving.

This was retaining wall previously done by other group, which as u can see,
not good enough. Showing signs of failure.

A short walk from the retaining wall site is the house construction site.

THIS IS THE HOUSE!
*Noticed that the wall were not even on the same level with the window frame.

So we started off by wearing helmet and gloves. Everyone looked excited.

6 persons helping with the house, while the rest went for the retaining wall.
I was on the house site.
SO following pictures I not so sure what's happening. hehe:p

Seng Chee was like =.="

"what are they doing ah?!"

AND THE BEST PHOTO TODAY!
It's no fake. The expression is real! heheh:p
He tersangkut with the cage i think.

The retaining wall is actually made of a steel cage, buried to an extent of ground, with stones as the weightier. Means that to build a retaining wall, a steel cage filled with stones must be buried to the wanted site. They started by shaping the steel cage 1st, then digging the ground, and finally place the steel cage to the ground before filling it with stones.

They were crouching at the hole they dug, which this act was seen by Mr. Fabio accidentally when he was back from house construction site to guide them. Must be very very embarrassing:p

This is the path way to the house construction site. Nice rite?
It's a bridge. Down there is a clear river.
You can see "african see"(fei zhau yu)

That's me, filling the hollow blocks with mortar.

The roof trusses.

We had a break on 12++.
Went for the famous Curry chicken bread,
which the bread contained curry chicken inside.
Yes, it's inside, you can only see the chicken after u cut the bread off.
Special huh?

To be cont.
2am d lo..sleep time.haha:p
