Tucked away in Tuas!!

helped out an engineer for some software application changes. Gotta worked on Pfizer site which is far away in Tuas South. Terrible experience for the long travel journey. First day there, was late in meeting my colleague who will drive me from toa payoh to tuas. No choice gotta take a cab directly from home to Tuas as im in a rush to attend a safety course by 7.45am. CAB FARE $26++ ... waaa so expensive!

Pfizer site was rather strict. Anyone who wanna enter the site for work is required to attend a 2h safety course first. No choice attended it and it was boring session.... i couldnt keep my eyes open and kena caught by the instructor who said to the whole class "this girl in front looks very tired... do u want to go wash your face first"...oppss so paiseh...

gotten my safety induction certification which gives me the rights to enter the site for a validity period of a yr. Omg.. i never wan to come to tuas again after this project. Lucky was just for 2 days.
a safety manual booklet
actually wasnt aware of what Pfizer company is all about beforehand.. until i saw some posters around the place... manufacturer of viagra, listerine... balblablablabala....

Impression of pfizer, was a very systematic organization which has a clean environment, who really have clear visions, goals driven, follow by the book. Shows extreme care through the various safety precautions rules set up to protect its employees. Thumbs up for welfare meter. but downside of being there... no handphones allowed on site premises! Each and every got to locked their mobile in small lockers at the security guardhouse. How inconvenient this is.. not sure about the rationale behind. was it a safety measure, so that pple wont get distracted at work by mobile? to make sure employee work and concentrate fully during working hrs? will hp ignite any possibility of fire? mobile frequency will interrupt anything in the plant? anyway managed to pull thru 2 days without mobile phone by my side. It was really constructive. Sit there jus work and work and knock off.

was told that the staffs there worked only 3-4 days per week on shift hours. Pfizer operates 24 by 7. Even a technician position has an income of at least 2k... but downside of working in Tuas... perhaps the polluted air and long distance travel........
