work life at a construction site

this is edi the 6th day i'm here in penang USM working at the construction site.. the condition here can be considered to be moderately harsh.. the roads are all muddy and if i'm not careful enough.. my boots and jeans will get all wet and very dirty.. another thing is the weather is so damn hot.. sometimes need to stand under the sun to check whether the contractors are working or are they doing works according to the specification.. i'm so damn dark now.. when going home that time must bring a long sleeve shirt along so that i can wear it at site.. dun need to get sun burn everyday.. being a project engineer is not that physically demanding, just that requires some walking around the site and constantly under the sun.. that is the oni thing i dun like about this job.. the people here is quite friendly and willing to teach me.. i'm glad about that.. but everyday dinner also eating alone as they have their own activity.. everyday after work, my activity is go home and take bath, then go nearby dinner then go home again to watch tv and online.. some of the time, i will go to tesco to buy some stuffs.. spent some time there comparing prices before buying.. i seldom do that previously, but now its one of my "activity" here.. thank god there is a washing machine provided in my home at penang.. just throw in my dirty cloth and press a button and everything will be done.. tonight everyone is going to leave for home which means i will be all alone at home for this weekend.. but nvm la.. got world cup matches to watch.. at least there is a tv here.. my senior told me this particular project here will be completed by oct.. hopefully earlier la.. and i pray that i will be posted to a new project which is situated nearer to my home.. preferably is oni selangor, perak and negeri sembilan.. then ma can go home every weekend or twice a month.. curently can only go home once in a month..i heard that my company is getting a new project in kulim, kedah.. more far.. and my project manager went to find a new office nearby.. keep my finger crossed that i will not be posted to kulim.. tolong~~ tolong ~~~
