This past week, I've been busy going on a course namely to say Scaffold Erector Course. Don't ask me why I go for such course as this is entirely plan by my dearest boss. This is a totally new thing for me and it is so much different from my usual scope of job.

During the entire course of duration, it was really not what I expected as usually where course is concern,it only involve theory and no practical needed. But hell,I was wrong as this require both.

On the first day of the course, all of us sat in a nice air-condition room(haha) as most of us in the course are usual battling with the heat. And what was to be expected during the end of the first day lesson was that I still remember the instructor say: "Tomorrow please bring an extra shirt as you all will be erecting a scaffold as you guys will sweat a lot."

Second day, practical session begin,as usual most are confused and planning had to start. As usual to cut short we made a mess of things.

On the third day,slightly better,we were able to complete two scaffold but still not that perfect. And last day was the examination for the practical and theory. It was the final day and after two days of messing up,we finally got our act together and work as a team and everybody is helping and putting the plan to perfection.

Irony of this is I finally got to know how hard the labour worker felt when they did this job and it also made me realise that no person can work alone. Sure,my body was in a lot of pain and I felt tired but hey everyone who attend this course with me felt the same way too an in some way it is a bittersweet experience. Looking back at the four days of torturous course it sure take a lot of guts and some humbling pie to make all of us realise how people in this field felt. I have no words to describe but I thank my boss for sending me to this course.
