I am a competent Engineer

Suddenly the thoughts of P.E appeared in my head today..

Shall i go for that? Or i shall just stick to what i am now, and continue my path to become a competent engineer..hehe..

I feel so Keng Chao today..coz during meeting, i spoke up on behalf of my company...Know wat? I told them what my company told me, and further details, i didn give them..coz i also dunno..and my company also dunno..so, no one knows..i can only tell them

" We will try our best"
" I wasnt so sure, i will go back and check with my boss, see what he says"
bla bla bla la..

And guess wat? The other engineers diam diam saje...let me talk...hurm...at this moment..i felt like i lagi berkaliber...muaahahahaha

If i have handled this project since the beginning..i tink last month already siap testing and commissioning...sucks la the ...erm....employer of mine..haha..

The worst Meeting Ever

HUHU!!!

I have attended so many meetings, and this is the worst...

Why do i call it the worst? Let me briefly tell you how a construction work is being done, and who are involved...

Whenever there's a project coming along, there would be tenders and so forth..
So, got big big big tauke, big big tauke, big tauke, tauke, not so big tauke and etc...

So, since my company has tendered a project, so we are considered as sub-con for our main con, which is one of the tauke above, and if we sub our work to another sub-con, then we become their main-con, and they become the tauke's sub-sub-con..

So, here's the thing..My company cant do the job in time...cant finish the job as scheduled..
Hence, the tauke tauke at the top level came to site, and had an urgent meeting with us.

"So guys, when can you finish T&C (Testing and Commissioning)?"
No one answered

"Can you meet the deadline? How many things left? Supposingly today you guys are doing the T&C as stated in the schedule, why still no progress till now?"
No one answered

"Who is in charge here? Can someone give me an answer???"
No one answered

"Who has the power to give instruction?"
Our immediate boss, and he is in KL

"Call him IN now...i don't care where he is, your company is the most ****** and ****** company i have ever encountered with"
No one answered

"So now, tell me frankly, what are the outstanding equipments that have not arrived? You better tell me frankly, because we are coming to help you get the job done, since your company, obviously, cant manage this project well, so we have to help you manage. Thus, you better let me know the status, so that we can meet deadline"
No one answered

"....... bla bla bla ...."
We wil go back and discuss, and we will let you know...

"Alright then, tomorrow we will have a special meeting, and make sure all this are solved by tomorrow..."
Ok, thanks.


Okay, here's the thing..u noticed that none of us answer the questions right? You must be wondering, WHY?

I was taught at the site...
1. Do not simply answer them during the meeting, unless you are damn sure of it
2. Do not simply confirm/ convince them regarding the deadline unless you are damn sure
3. Just listen to them, and don't respond to them. Just treat them as singing or poeting. Do get stress or tensed after being scolded...It's just normal
4. Anything come up, just answer "I will go back and check with my boss, then i will let you know".
5. Do not tell them anything about the status of the job, and do not tell them if the equipments have arrived. Just tell them, ON THE WAY, or IN PROGRESS.
6. Must tahu belok kiri and kanan, cannot LURUS. If you want to get to a point, turn many many rounds, beat around the bush...then let them figure it out themselves..If they say anything, we just say "i didn't say that, it's what you think"
7. If they instruct us to do anything, ask for BLACK and WHITE, and answer this " I will not responsible to any future damage or problems occurred"


Those are the 7 golden rules i was taught by my seniors...Guess i have to really be so so so irresponsible d...coz i cant tell the truth, i cant tell them the situation..This is HARD!!

Anyway, my job is really hard. Do not TRY THIS if you are seeking for a job.

My First Day of Work

If you are wondering what kind of job that i am currently engaged in...im an employee of Digistar Holdings. It's a small company, located at Jalan Ampang. The company is really a very small company, with very very very crucial COST SAVING plans...everything must save cost...which includes projects involved..HOWEVER, i can say that the quality of their job is good.

So, what'y my Jobscope?
I have started 5 days of work so far:

1st day: Haven start already went into a 4 hour meeting..i know nothing, but i shook my head nia.First day nia, already OT until 7pm.
2nd day: Meeting again, and it was until 7pm again. My job is to attend meeting, read catalogues, drawings, call engineers on site for updatess.....
3rd day: Meeting again..it was a project department meeting. Very informal indeed, but for me, i just sit at one corner, listening to their updates, and c how they push their responsibilitiies to others..huhu...

4th day: My first day ON SITE in Kuching. My project is Dewan Undangan Negeri, Sarawak. I went into the site..huhu...10 floors...and i have to walk up all the way using staircase nia...I can tell u...DAMN!!IT WAS DAMN TIRING, DIRTY and DUSTY!@#%& Speaking of my first day, it was really unfortunate. My car was parked behind an ISUZU DMAX. And guess wat...he bang my car when he left the site. Sort of like "hit n run". BUT, a lot of witnesses saw he knocked my car, so they told me who who who and wat car hit my car...then..cont the next day. Another thing, i had severe migraine....severe until i vomitted, and i slept the moment i reached home, i din take dinner...until the next morning.

5th Day: (TODAY)..i went to see the guy...sigh..he bo hiu bo hiu nia...still smoking some more..and blow at me...he said afternoon will go over to see how's my car condition. He said he din even know he hit my car...so..see how lo later. Initially, i continued with my job. basically,at this stage, i will only have to wear bulletproof shirt coz i will always get scolded and"diau" by main contractor coz it's nearing to T&C. This is critical moment for our project, but u can c ppl at site are still sleeping during working hour. Now that's life on Site. hahaha...

Anyway. im underpaid, and i have to pay for everything so far. Hopefully the company really compensates me for the tol, petrol etc... :)

In Remembrance of Wong the AlMighty Arsenal Footballer

Today is 6th of March, which is the day when our beloved, most respected friend, Wong Kok Hoe left us to continue another different path of journey.

Yes, he has done quite a massive impact in our life, not only emotionally, but also spiritually. He has brought fun and happiness to all of us. I can always hear his laughter "HA HA HA" whenever i feel bored, lonely and down.

Wong was the one who always lying on my bed..holding my Bolster, playing with anything that's on my bed ( This task were taken over by Vincent Dee)...

Wong was the one who had given CK his best hostel life ever...tolerating him from head to toe.

Wong was the important person in ConvoFair...

Wong was the one with Arsenal as password for most of his accounts

Wong was the one who bring laughters to all of US

Wong, may you rest in peace, and have a better life in heaven. You will always be in our heart, our soul.

WE LOVE YOU, WONG KOK HOE
WE LOVE YOU

Something to ponder on

It's my 4th week in penang, and guess wat? I have been to penang for so many times, and i had never ever dare to have the thought of trying out "Dragon-I" restaurant coz i heard it was so "luxurious" to dine there...

Well, still, i still insisted not to dine there, cause it's termed unecessary spending..

Today, me and Eileen wanted to have lunch at QB Mall, coz we had jz bought movie ticket for Love Matters..Out of so many choices, we opt for Canton-I Noodle House...yea..it might sound similar to Hong Kong Noodle House in Kuching, so we went..expecting to have affordable and delicious lunch..

The first thing came into my mind...Wah, these service here so good...so professional..every waiter and waitress has a handsfree on their left ears...ya, left ears only..i dunno y..and the environment...man, its superb...then, i thought..If Hong Kong Noodle House in kuching can be like this, sure the business very LAK KU!

The nightmare started when the menu arrives...Every single dish costs at minimum RM11, and i tell you, the "zha you tiaw" costs RM 3. The plain congee costs RM 4, and what to my astonishment was, Each drink costs at least RM 10!!! Then i took a peek at other tables..i noticed most people ordered Plain Water..hehe..for just RM 1. Plain water for RM 1, free refill!!haha..so, i ordered that too lo...only those tables occupied by old people drink those RM 10 tea.

Well, the last thing i realized was, written in the menu, "Canton-I and Dragon-I are under the same management". Sigh..this is what i called "Unecessary SPendng", especially during this jobless period...i feel so guilty after taken that meal..it costs us RM32 in total (Only 1 plain water, and 2 plates of Roast BBQ Rice). Oh ya, Service Charge + Tax = 5% + 10% = another 15 % more!!
WTF!!
