I was awake at 7.30am on the 2nd day, had breakfast buffet at the hotel. Looking out from my hotel room, it's a mountain of tall buildings..
This is Singapore, tall buildings around...
The first destination I went that day was Seagate Factory at Senai, Johor. We had to pass through the custom and took about 1.5 hours to reach the destination. I do salute people who go to and fro Singapore/Johor to work. It was really a hassle, to let custom officers check the vehicles and passport and worse was the traffic jam.
Anyhow, the visit to Seagate was great. Seagate manufactures hard disks and it was a great experience looking at the plant. I learnt many tricks about operating a wastewater treatment plant in a semiconductor fab. The engineers on site gave me a round tour around the plant and I was really amazed. The plant was at least twice bigger than ours.

After the visit, I joined all the engineers in Seagates for lunch in a nearby chinese restaurant. It was my first meal in Johor. The food was ok, I suppose much better than Singapore's.
Next destination was to visit ASM Factory, another semiconductor fab. My aim is to check out the Deionized water plant in that fab. But this was a manual plant so nothing much I could see as our plant would be fully automatic.

After the visit I was already exhausted. Both with information and tiredness. I then hopped onto the vendor's MPV and got back to Singapore. Yea and it took another 1.5hours to get back, thanks to the custom hassles.That night me, Lim, driver and their CFO took dinner at a japanese restaurant in Takashimaya Shopping Complex located in Orchard Road. The food was quite good.. oysters, mussels, tempura, sashimis, teppanyaki etc etc..yummy!
We called it a day after the dinner. Again, I had to force myself to sleep alone in the hotel room.
