Ahh, what a fantastic day!

Ahh, what a fantastic day!

Last night, after our BILT Asia 2018 welcome function, where I consumed 4 tall glasses of beers (I don’t think it measured a pint per tall glass), I received an email from the ICE confirming that I have passed my Technician Professional Review. I thought I was just drunk, but after carefully examining the email from the ICE, I can confirm that it was a legit email and I am now officially a Technician Member of the ICE (well I must pay this year’s membership first, which I did a few minutes ago). This is another key milestone in my career. I am very grateful to everyone who supported (Lead Sponsor Rebecca Archer and my Secondary Sponsor Alex Baalham) and believed (my family of course as my very first supporter) in me on this journey. No words can summarise how I feel right now. The hard work of staying late to complete the application form and carefully selecting the appendices to support the application has now been paid off!

If you are a Technician and looking to be a Technician Member of the ICE, don’t be a procrastinator! If you feel you have enough evidence to demonstrate your competences, go for it.

Good luck for those who will be sitting soon for Technician Professional Review.

More beers tomorrow at Sentosa Singapore after the 2nd day of our BILT Asia 2018 Conference.

Cheers!

Finally arrived in Singapore for BILT Asia 2018 Conference

After for almost 20 hours of flight from London Heathrow Airport to Singapore Airport, we [because I brought my family with me for them to have their holiday while I’m in the conference] arrived sound and safe. Thank you for all our prayer warriors in making our trip safe.

Dealing with the Immigration officer was straightforward. We rented a taxi who delivered us from Singapore Airport to our rented hotel. Whilst on the road, I fell in love with the beauty of Singapore. We did not even encounter any traffic on the road (I should have taken some photos for you to see how beautiful is it traveling on their main highway).

Here are some photos I’ve taken so far:

Then I’ve met some of my fellow speakers in the event and, just like me, most of them are also the first timer in engaging in public speaking. I believe we will all be fine in delivering our respective sessions.

 

Looking forward to learning something new at this event.

Have a great day.

Cheers.

Proudly Speaking at BILT Asia 2018 – The Countdown is ON!

It’s time. The countdown is on. There’s less than a week until BILT Asia 2018, taking place at the Marina Bay Sands, Singapore.

I have been working overseas for half of my lifespan and still working overseas. The fact that Singapore and Philippines are neighboring countries, this will be my first time in Singapore. The event will be one of a key milestone in my career that I will never forget, and for this, I would like to thank the BILT Asia 2018 Committees for the opportunity of being part of this event as the speaker. I’m only not coming to Singapore next week as a Speaker in the event but, to also spend my time with my family as a tourist. My children are now excited about their holiday, now that it coincides with their school break.

In the conference, I’ll be talking about “Structural Data Mining Using Revit-Dynamo-Power BI Workflow” and by attending my session, which will happen on 7th of April at 9:00 AM, you’ll learn:

First, the process of preparing your data using Revit Schedule.

Next, since Power BI works smoothly with Microsoft Excel, we will use Microsoft Excel to store the data mined information from Revit.

After that, we will create a simple Dynamo graph to automate the process of sending the data information from Revit to our spreadsheet, thus, eradicating potential human error caused by copy and pasting or manual typing.

Finally, we will bring our data to life, using Power BI. You’ll all gain a basic understanding of how to create your Power BI project if you haven’t done one yet.

I’ll concentrate on extracting the weight of the structure.

If you haven’t purchased your ticket yet, please grab one now.

Please don’t forget to come to me to say “Hi” if you are one of my blog readers.
