cousin healthiness

Today my cousin discharge out from hospital. I so glad to hear that he recover so fast by just operation on last tuesday. Now what I hope is only he can fully recover as soon as possible.

He got spine problem since long time ago as no one else realise and sudden discover on some family gathering. He quite shy about that and seldom letting other to know more on it. Just we family member manage to open his cloth and have a look on it and touch it as we like. I know he not comfort with that so I seldom calling him to show me. But by just asking him in his comfort zone would be enough for me.

Firstly I thought want to buy him a PSP but mum told me that he not staying at hospital so long till he got enjoy the game. So I put off the thinking and hoping that he will recover soon.

This pic took when we going to Sunway lagoon together. Buddy shirt. That's what I like.

Cheers all.

12th Day

Today is Wednesday, feel quite refresh in the morning after last night jog to Mount Faber. That's the place I know the 3rd Merlion in Singapore.

That's all.

Cheers.

11th Day

Today I was planning to go for work permit collection as well as the birth cert. But workload just make me stay at office for the whole day. It's just because everything seems too rush for me then. Maybe lack of experience, that's why I can do my thing in time. Hopefully it will get fix time after.

That's all cause rushing to another day.

10th day

Today is Monday.

Sure I will have Monday blue, but it will pass so fast with my work. Cause by today I need to give my RO a measurement after she brief to me last Friday after the Architect explanation.

I can't finish up by one day, cause it kind of boring when you keep looking for 8-9 drawings the whole day. So I take some OT for completing it. Then I can go to collect my work permit and birth cert translation for tomorrow Tuesday.

That's all I can remember for 5 days after.

9th day

Friday only is the 9th day as I already mix up with the date already.

Today I can't really remember what I did if I don't refer back to my schedule. Hopefully I still can continue my each day record for my working day. It's kind of memory when I look back the previous post.

Sometime I can relax my mind and try to figure out something while day dreaming. But just like the elephant. It will forget when wake up. Was it real? Hopefully. Cause I had been trust to this legend for many years.

So that's all after I got back to this blog about 6 days after.

9th day

Just know that I left out a day without mentioned.

I got my breakfast this few day, thanks to my wife for making me a delicious breakfast everyday. It do light up my mood everyday knowing that got someone for me to take care for. So, I will try to work harder and smarter as well.

Today I just got read up another 1 VO and leave 6 more pending for my action. Tomorrow must not be so stubborn to find out all as I still got one round discussion with the CM later on.

Just before I knock off, another CM approach me telling me that I will need to do a RVO for her project in coming time. I know what she told me in English but I just can't reply in a well English. Not just for that time, today when my briefing session; when I start to ask a question in the pubic then I almost got heart attack. My heart pump so hard till I breathe hard. I really need the exposure for talking more in English. I like my current environment as I got many chance to speak and write English. That's what I can't make it when I'm at my hometown.

Cheer up all!

7th Day

Today 7th day. Quite a mysterious day.

Remember yesterday I did mention about 5 VO to do per day? Today I only manage to get 3 read up and picked some question on it. On the other hand, it mean 7 is waiting me for the day. I just remember that tomorrow I will have a half day briefing! So that mean I only got half day to finish up the remaining 7 VO. How!!! Hope that miracle happened and I manage to get the 7 done in time and in well condition. Cause I didn't have a long brief on it but I will try to do it by my own self.

That's differenciate ppl. One senior will explain to you what to do very briefly and another will only let you the task and waiting for the outcome.

Yeah, before I forget; today I manage to do a task with my own (just without the CM consent while I got my peers to help me on it). At last, it just end up with a date amendment! What a big day for me. Thanks a lot to my peer. Will treat them well in coming days hopefully. It very different to my friend (new made friend), his senior will saying they are busy btw they just facebooking or doing none company things around and refuse to teach him. It make him want to look for another job. What a sad story? Hope that I wouldn't meet up such senior or colleague.

So tomorrow I will attending a brief for half day. Hopefully I can learn something on it and can finish up my task although I might need some OT, I think. That's why I refuse to have dating tomorrow. Just spare some time for my works before I can really relax myself.

Have a wonderful night all!

6th Day

Monday took leave so the 6th day start by Tuesday this week. Today I went to MOM for my work permit. I had been MOM once for my last employment, but this time the place change and I can't find it by my own without browsing through internet like before. So, spent some time on it but finally made it. So I will have my new work permit next Monday.

Today quite special cause I got my project list by late morning then I can start doing my own work instead of reading up the material. But, people is only appreciate when lost. When I want to start my work as another ACM called me to do that she mentioned that was urgent and the due date is coming Tuesday. Although I had been given one week to complete it but minus out 2 days weekend and today and tomorrow I got dating that means I only got 2 days to complete 10 RVOs. With average 5 to be done in 1 day. 1 day is 8 hours and 1 day need to be OT I think. Yeah, come back to appreaciate time, I really hope that I got more time to reading up the material before I start the works. But in real life, especially in work. You just can expect the unexpected.

Today got the jog and quite relaxing after that. Hope I can maintain it for everyweek from now on.

Wish you all healthy and cheerful!

5th Day

Today is my 5th day (weekend eve). Hehe.

At start I was very excited because as what my CM told me that she will assign me something to do other than reading the practice notes.

Early in the morning, I was smsed to meet up with my CM for the assignment at 9am.

I reach at the office at 830am (a bit late than before) but just in time. After received the sms, I quickly made my early Milo for breakfast drink. Then thinking about the assignment. Thinking what should I do for FOT. Will it be too difficult task for me? Or an easy task but I just can't finish it well? After struggling for some time, I decide to meet up with the CM and brought a note book for record when needed.

After reaching her desk, she mentioned that I so early. (By right, I just 4 mins earlier) Then I openned my notebook telling that give me some time to record for the task. (This is what I learn after my very 1st job, my colleague told me that if I can't remember then better I record it somewhere before fault was made). The CM saying no need for record.

After she told me the task then I know why it doesn't need to record. Because she got all the hard copy paper for me to reference when doing the task.

The task was combine of two separate FOT into one so that the project can be call for tender later on. She told me the story of why this two FOT needed to be combine and why do these two FOT exist. The due date is today!

After understand what she told me about, I heading back to my workplace with some confidence that I will finish up by lunch. But just I start to doing it. I realise that it is not easy as I understand. Well, thinking of something is far more easy when you really get your hand on it.

When I finish up reading 1st FOT and update with the lastest workscope, I start to read up with 2nd FOT. I realise that this two FOT is in different format of presenting it. So, I mail my CM saying do I need to united the format as it doesn't feel right when two formatting in a contract document later on. Then she told me that I can follow the later format as it done by her last time.

So? my 1st FOT was wrong in formatting! Just don't drag on the time (about 1 and half hour after 9am), I cont on the second FOT and update with the latest work scope. Telling myself that I can come back later with the formatting. (It's easy for my thought)

After !@#$!@#$.... A quarter pass 3pm. I finish with my checking on it. Then I send back the combined copy and ask for task with CM. CM gave me another task; to check her numbering for the specification given by the Engineers. She said the Engineers and Architect suppose to give her with correcting number and it shall not our department's scope for doing it. I said why not we gave back to them and call them to correct the number then. But she saying that if she doing so then her work can't be end by the due date which she also going to have off day on Monday like I do. Haha.

Yeah, Monday will be my submission for my PR application. But now I still lack of work pass, birth cert (English version) and some photocopy documents. Wish myself good luck then for the submission. As if I success then I will have CPF (something like EPF at Malaysia).

Hope the world will peace!

4th day

Today is a training & briefing day as I can describe. From morning till afternoon is briefing on the IT materials. Then late afternoon briefing for the HR thing. So today my time on my workplace less than 1 hours I can say.

Today is one of my colleague farewell. She resign as a CM. For my company, CM like 3 level higher then me. After QS, ACM then to CM. As she explain that she wish to change new environment and it just life. For me, changing new environment is just a common reason that people used. There must be a reason when you wish to leave or stay. Maybe she now more clearly on what she really looking for. Wish her all the best in her future btw.

Tomorrow early morning I shall got task to do. Cause just before I knock off from my work then my RO called me to help her for the FOT. I really excited when she call me for that, it's my 1st job after joining the company. Don't know how's my performance then. So later I will try to find out what to do roughly through my imagination or experience.

Long time does not feel like that, It's great that I still alive and enjoying the life.

Cheers up all.

Wish you good luck as well in your future.

3rd day

Today I meet up my PD le. Is a she not he as i mentioned at previous post. She told me that she will assign me some work tomorrow or coming Friday. So today I still continue with my reading although I don't wish for at yesterday. Because it's kind of boring doing it the 3rd day the same thing. But after my RO told me to read it up. Then I decide to continue reading and try to keep as much as I can. Cause I think what my RO told me will be very useful to me in future.

Today I jog with my colleague. Quite a distance but very refreshing after the jog. Hope tomorrow would not be leg pain cause today quite to my limit for the jog. Today I did some talking with WL when we jog together. I very happy chatting with him as he share some of his working experience with me.

Today quite tired. So better get on bed earlier.

Wish you all have a good night.

2nd day

Today is 2nd day already. My PD has not report to work yet for his two day medical leave. Hope he is working tomorrow and give me some project to handle as well. Really exciting while waiting for it. Cause these two days I already do many reading and I can't focus for reading again for third day.

FYI, S&S International bus services is much much lower than my expectation after I tried 1st time when I coming back from Kuala Lumpur on last Sunday (04 Oct 09). At 1st, the ticket mentioning 6pm bus but the bus only get on it's path after get the bus fully occupied at about 635pm. 2nd I not happy with was because it sell me a ticket from KL-SIN, but they transfer me to another company bus called 'Alisan' and stop at Larkin then trying to transfer us again to SJ Express which is a 'public' bus service at Larkin.

What a shame, the bus driver try to explain to us that the bus is not going to Singapore at 1st and they did their 'so called' services to make us to Singapore through the 'public' bus service. And when the passenger try to argue to him, he say not him who sell out the ticket to us. This will make me stick with the more bigger company and more reliable company when I want to travel without any sad in future.

Btw, learn from your experience and try to be more clever next time.

Wish all happy day.

1st day

Today is 1st day for my new job. Got briefing for the company at the morning by Asst CM. Roughly knew about company policy. Yet meet some new colleagues. Had a buddy meal at lunch. 1st time getting this kind of lunch.

Trying to mixed with new colleague and work with happiness along the way.

Maybe it's 1st day so nothing much to do. Just reading up some work practices and some old document.

Have to get adventure through the working life from now on. Cheers.

Monday Afternoon!

Dear all,

What you are doing on Monday afternoon? Properly you are working. Am I right?

For me, I took my emergency leave and rest at home. For decision making of my short term (two years) target. As I will working for consultant after struggling with my income. Which is lesser after joining consultant. I hope I chosen the right for my own path without any regret.

At first, I source from quite a number of opinion before I made the decision.

Of course there is agree and disagree and I weight the important of it and made the decision after that.

The agree,

1. The path for being a professional.
2. Prepare for the future of the career.
3. The work I hope for.

The disagree,
1. Lower income.
2. To learn more before join consultant.

There are few more agree and disagree but the most important is the future of the career. I would finally joined consultant after all. Why not I join now while I'm young. To learn from the basic from the start before I polluted(or learn wise in future as one of my friend's opinion) with my background later?

For me, treasure while you young. Appreciate while you can.

That's all for now.

Thanks for reading.

Changing Job

Dear All,

Long time no updating my blog, make you all waiting to see what i will write next? (haha, perasan)

Had been work in the company since Oct 08 till now. Want to change new job - new environment and meeting new colleague. Live goes on, earth keep turning round and round. Hope that everything will going smooth as well. Many people keep asking me why I change to another job. Of course i not telling them all cause i need privacy as well. Well, the reason will changing new environment, higher salary, more appropriate as what i hope for the work which relevant to what i studied. Others might be the boring of the existing work, less challenge and a bit out of my expectation for what i hope for.

I think i am a kind of person that really hope what i hope for go for the way. I did not really like that something go not what i expected. Kind of weird is it? But now, I don't really care to what will be happened for next. If i still keep in that environment that my personality will change if i allowed it to be happen. If i can't change the thing and i also want to keep my personality, I have to change to somewhere else. That's what i can do and what can be done. My wife do disappointed when i say want to change a new job. She might thinking she will lost a high income from husband. But i come back with a better news, for her at least. I got higher salary compare to my existing job. That make her release her stress.

'The measure of a matured person is not how well they prepare everything to go right, but on how they stand up and move on after everything goes wrong.' that's the quote i receive from a stranger Xty.

Yesterday i met a stranger from Philippine, she was lost and i help her find her way. We did some happy conversation. Long time no talking to stranger. But thinking that i need to improve my language in conversation. Some time i did not pass the message i want to pass on. It make me feeling that i not hardworking enough when i studying.

Yesterday did meet up with few ex course mate as well for a small gathering after the convocation on march 09. They did change in outlook, but inner side of them (talking & thinking) not much different since we last meet.

today is Sunday, normally i did nothing on Sunday when studying. But now i would like to do something and only i can do my thing on Sunday since my working life. I want to make my Sunday more valuable and meaningful.

Sarikei

Today is my 2nd night at Sarikei, my gf's hometown. I got no went anywhere far since I was born on this earth. But I manage to survive although I'm not at my warm home.

At my gf's house, I was welcome with warmest welcome from her family member. Tonight will having her sister coming back to hometown as well. I meet this sister before at my 'hometown' last time. But I'm not giving her good impression as I was very naughty that time. (Although I also not a good boy now)

Sarikei, giving me an impression that the people over here is very friendly. Although I not knowing what they saying in their dialect but I'm very happy to see and fee all this. I think I will be coming back in short time during my mid year break with my gf as well.

Although I'm on my holiday now but I still worrying my work. Although I'm not very love my job but I already make it a habit for me to think my work during my off time. Every Sunday I will think the work going on Monday. Maybe from time to time I will attached to something and this time will be my work's turn. Is this a grew up? Cause i start to think and worry about my work and my future as well. In this moment I do really hope that I can share with someone and I got her (Josephine) now. Hope she will be understanding me as I trying to grow up and suit a perfect husband and soul mate to her. As well as to my family member. My mummy. I miss you and I love you (both Mum and Josephine).

What I want and what I need to do

Refering to my gf cum fiancee blog, I still figure out what I want and what I need to do to achieve it. I got many many WANT, but do they necessary to me? I might not ask to myself when I decided to buy it. But there are still got some more thing that I need to do to achieve my life goal.

For example, I want to learn as many as I can for my work. Therefore, I expose to the people working around. I already knew at first place that I will not have a easy start at the beginning. Got once that I lost my direction and thinking negative about it. But somehow I brought back the BIG picture. That I will get what I learn forever and ever in my life. My superior had sharpen my point of will that make me to give myself at least one and half year in this company as I can learn somehow more or less in my life.

After that I wish to go back to my original track which is become a Quantity Surveyor. I hope my achievement in life will make my mother happy as I already did my best in my life with her help. Others will left for myself to decide what I want to do and what I need to do.

Recently I did not read. But I realise that reading is good for me. As I can think during my reading and the reading do help me a lot in my thinking. As I new for the social life, therefore reading is a good start for me.

I wondering to read some english book but my limitation in other language make me can't decide to buy a book to read on. I hope somebody else will give me a book so that I can start without any initiative taken. Just a simple english book would be a good start. NOT a thick novel I think. :)

For this moment, I hope I can maximise my experience taking in working life as many thing I would like that have at least a small role in it. But I scare I will lost my direction as going on the path. For this, I also need some advise for sticking with my original plan. I hate change but I love changes to get rid of my boreness. Life is like that sometime, always act opposite from what you think.

For this year start, I still not yet start my plan as my planning would be delay for at least one month to do what I left out last year. Hope that this year I can finish up what I need to do to get what I want.

Tired with the work but I have to stick with the work as I got superiors that will teach me through this project. I hope I will not dissappoint them throughout this project.

Finally, I hope the world is peace all the time and the people on the earth will stay healthy forever and ever.

From KEN to ALL

New Year 2009

Dear All,

This year I will make a start of my life in different stage. Before is my young stage but now would be my adult stage as I will marry in two years time from now. With my current girl friend hopefully. :)

For all this year I passed, I will try to take the chance to thanks all the people that accompany me throughout all the years. Especially my mum! From the time she gave birth to me, she start to take care of me all the time with or without my concern. Once again, THANKS YOU! to my mum.

From now on, I will try do stand on my own path without having her to worry me all the time. (although she will) I will be start to plan my own life from now. I learn quite alot pass three month in my working life at Singapore. For this, I would want to thanks to my superior to guide me all the time. Although sometime I did some mistake but he is so understanding that I'm new for my work. But I will not make it as an excuses for me to get rid of trouble I made. I will try to solve it by my own with a minimum supervision of my superior.

For my own life planning, I will shifting out from my comfort zone for a new challenging life outside. First, I will face new people and mixed around them after I shift out of my room at Feb later with my girl friend.

Then I will more independent on my work as my position as asst project coordinator in new project. I will handle problem in a more mature way while all the time I only hope the best will happen but all the time I got is only a thinking that wouldn't work it's way.

For this year, I will have a different Chinese New Year compare to my 24 years Chinese New Year passed. Because I will be celebrating my CNY at my girl friend's house at East Malaysia, Sarikei while all the time I did celebrate with my family at Penisular Malaysia. I'm quite positive on this because I only not seeing her father, two brother and her youngest sister. I got the confidence that her family member will like me.

I got quite a few wishes for this year to be accomplish. Hope that I can make it.

Finally, thanks you for spending time reading all this and once again I would like to thanks my mum for all this time.

For now.

Ken
