When there is a helloo...theres always a goodbye...

When there is hello... it will accompanied with a goodbye..

I hate goodbyes personally.. its when something, or somehow becomes to an end...It has been a great blessing during my almost 2 years living in Johor Bahru and work around Pasir Gudang in one of very reknowned fabrication yard... 14th February 2008 was the exact date I reported in to the site and it was a daunting experience for me at first...

Its not that my first time in Johor, but its the FIRST time for me to be living in a state of my father's born country...

It was a challenge to manage people who has done what I've did before... however, even you have done it previously, you tend to take things for granted... Of course.. as a client, you are seen to be the enemy and making things slow.. which actually not true.. My task was to help to bridge the communication between my company and theirs... a lil bit of frustration that how they persive us here in Pasir Gudang as client... we actually wanna help and check and balanced it and make it a sucess!..


It was an experience, standing on a structure which was 10 story high and I did climbed up for inspection.. and guess what!?!..I am scared of heights!!...it was another challenge that i challenged myself to do.. I dont want to be the not covering all the places kinda engineer... I went up and now, im not scared of heights as much as before... It was an achievement..

Seeing the offshore platform being fabricated, was awesome..The first day, you could only see a flat dusty land and soon after 540 days, you see three huge structures standing tall weighing thousands of tonnes ready to be shipped out... awesomely seeing those that we as a team designed it in Kuala Lumpur being materialised afterall...


Another experience to share was, managing an event which was a big milestone to everyone in the team, to start the engine sequence, what we called it as DRY CRANKING... seeing the compressor train being assembled and see it running before your eyes was one priceless experience... When the walkie talkie sounded, we have reached to our sequence... it was a great joy for everyone then... and of course... the loadout of the 3 deck modules... (will upload the pics later)...a huge crane carries the modules onto the barges...everyone jumped with joy but at the same time, the sadness rings to us all as its time for us to say goodbye...

I hate to leave the people I work with all this while..but I know from the begining, they wont be with me forever, which I do wish they would follow...but... its a goodbye for now..

A collegue of mine said yesterday during our so called farewell dinner, its an end of a chapter and a new start of another..

I will be part of the offshore commisioning team starting the 1st September.. and will be heading out to the sea for 2 weeks and back on dry land another 2 weeks of the month till August 2010... and probably it will be extended a lil while depending on the weather...

Lastly, I would like to thank to those people who have worked with me, and i appologise if i did something wrong or wrongly said to you.. and I would like to thank my Project Manager, Mr Ian Kellagher, Clay Crook, Siva Kumaran, En Aris, and others who have given faith and belief to me to be part of the site team..

My bags are packed, my table has emptied, and Im taking the sad goodbye to leave this cool place in Malaysia... Hope I could be here again sooon for the next project in the years to come!!

Dalam Kehidupan ini...

Kita juga pasti gembira melihat anak anak muda selesai ijazah pertamanya dan mendirikan rumah tangganya untuk menjalani hidup berdikari

Itu la kehidupan yang kita harus terima

Laskar Pelangi

mimpi adalah kunci
untuk kita menakhlukkan dunia

sampai engkau meraihnya

laskar pelangi
tak kan terikat waktu
bebaskan mimpimu di angkasa
warnai bintang di jiwa

menarilah dan terus tertawa
walau dunia tak seindah surga
bersyukurlah pada Yang Kuasa
cinta kita di dunia
selamanya…

cinta kepada hidup
memberikan senyuman abadi
walau hidup kadang tak adil
tapi cinta lengkapi kita

laskar pelangi
tak kan terikat waktu
jangan berhenti mewarnai
jutaan mimpi di bumi

menarilah dan terus tertawa
walau dunia tak seindah surga
bersyukurlah pada Yang Kuasa
cinta kita di dunia

menarilah dan terus tertawa
walau dunia tak seindah surga
bersyukurlah pada Yang Kuasa
cinta kita di dunia
selamanya
selamanya

Treat people as you wanted to be treated.

How would you like people to treat you is how you should treat to other people...

If you like people to treat you kindly, then be kind to others despite their being..

If you like people to make you happy, then make them happy like you want it to be...

If you would like people to be sincere to you, be sincere to them and to yourself...

Treat people as you wanted to be treated.

:(

Siang malam termimpi mimpi
Pagi petang tercari cari
Tiap saat ternanti nanti
Kau masih tiada disisi

Apakah ini satu mimpi
Terasa bagai sebuah delusi
Ilusi … mata
Maian … jiwaku
Semakin kacau

When you have too limited choices, you will complaint about it...

But...

When you have TOO Many choicess.... you cant even make up your mind...

Communication, communicate..

Communication is an important thing for a human being. It may be done verbally, body gesture, emailing, smses, letters and other forms of ways to communicate.

How we communicate also varies from one another, but how do we communicate effectively?

Its all depending to personal preference, some may yelled or talk softly to express and some may sing a song to the other person to show how they feel. However, the other end of the communicated person need to be calm and open to receive the information given to them.

Even when you write, some experienced communicator can sense the feelings of the writer. So the way of writing is important to express the way u feel. Some might get offended when reading the medium,and often get misinterpreted the writer. Again, its all depending again to the mood of the reader too.

However, when you speak,you speak you mind,which have an automatic filtering before those words are being spelled out. Therefore, you could feel the difference between a written blog and a spontaneous speech.

Body gesture too are very important when talking. It shows how you expressed you statements. The impact to listeners are much more stimulating compared to a speaker who gives a motionless speech and might result one to loose concentration to the point that is being addressed.

When you communicate, its important that you write or structured the point that you wish to address. The speak with right intonation of voice and it should be much appropriately suiting to the type of audience, the topic is being discussed about and also the rooms settings. Without the third equation, the body language, the communication that is being put forth will be incomplete and non effective.

Today, the company's move to cut cost on travelling budget which resulting to teleconferencing for crucial meetings between executives might put back the record books into the blacks, increasing the profit margins and could escape to the wastage of travelling time. The question is again,would that makes the meeting effective?

Meeting face to face for me,is much effective than doing it remotely. Moreover, you could control the audience by looking at their level of concentration of listening to the point. Hence, we could see the eyes of the other side whether one is sincere or otherwise. This could hinder away bad deals with a savings of few thousands of dollars on flight tickets and a hotel bill. So, is it worth the savings if the deal does turns bad?

Its how we communicate which is important, and ideally,planning how we communicate to get the message across effectively is much more valuable then just making a point and that is it. If the otherside does not get you, a sketch would give a clearer picture of the point given. Therefore, its important to get your line of communication as clear,short and clean as possible.
