2011.Dec.20 to 2012.Jan.05 is another remarkable period I would always share with everyone I encountered from now on....
.....To plan, organise, and construct a bridge in the remote village called Mixia in Yunnan, China.
And with 14 days of effort, the bridge is finally there.
The past 4 months' time was a complete nightmare - to plan the logistics, liaise with various internal and external parties, attend long and short meetings, select & assign role/responsibility to each team members, organise necessary courses to equip everyone, go to pre-trips, draft documentations and necessary promotional & PR stuff... and that's all I had to worry about with my core team buddies...
(surprisingly not the hard core design!! sorry i'm JUST a geologist not an engineer...)
i just cannot recalled how i could deal with all these alongside with my real jobsss on hand...
but it's a great satisfaction to dirty our hands, to start everything from scratch, and finally the real bridge is just in front of you...

and for my personal gain...?
first of all, is the technical bits of putting the anchor to the right rockmass with the right orientation, and checking of workmanship as well... a mistakes that i've made but good lesson learnt (luckily it didn't become a great disaster...);
another i should say is the experience living in a remote village with very primitive living essentials, in which I found that we can be so adaptive in every environment we live in;
and what i treasure most - the relationship with the villagers (esp 'ah pi' [=grandmum in Hani dialect] and the young chefs cooking for us). I just started to cry on the 2nd last day in the village... I miss them so much.
The journey comes to an end and it's for me to move on - as this will gradually become a quick snapshot in my life, but a highlight that have a great impact on my way forward.
i'm so blessed to have such a wonderful journey
:)
