Today early in the morning we had no lesson, but we had a trip to a visit in the steel industry. We took a one hour bus to reach there. At there we saw how the steel is being processed. Firstly it comes in form of one hot lava bar and then it is send for cooling the steel bar with water. It needs to go through several cooling stages, because the temperature of the steel bar is as high as thousands degree C, it is freaky hot! You when we view the process at a high ground, we could actually feel the intense heat burning at our face. I dare to wear my spec’s, because i am afraid my lenses might melt haha...
In the industry, it was hot and noise, when the hot steel is brought from one place to another place, it creates loud rolling noises. Although the heat is intensely hot, i am still grateful that i had a chance to visit such activity, because you hardly get a chance to visit industry, factory, workshop and etc.
At around 2 pm, Mr Chua alight us at LuHan Guan Chang shopping mall, however we did not went for shopping because we were exhausted by the long journey, instead we went back to school for lunch.
After lunch we had our usual lesson, APPG. At night we played pokers, haha, it was really fun. Instead of playing with money, we played push up and sit up. We played till 11pm and lights off.

REFLECTIONS
In today’s visit, i witnessed how steel is made and process, from raw material to steel. I also learn how they calculate for the steel to cool down. They splashed cold water on to the steel bar several times. This is my first time witnessing the processing of the steel, i am really glad that i could see it live.
