juz got out from the bath...took me quite some time to wash up. my body is so damn exhausted being force to work through out the day. the combination of cold bath and followed by warm tea seems to be working it magic. instead of laying down to sleep now, i was writing in this blog...=)
why am i so damn tired today? ok...let see...at 745 am already at the office finish up some work. around 845 got engagement session with Director until 1pm. then after lunch, got training until 430. rushed back home to change my cloth because i got inter department table tennis match and the competion prolonged until 9pm. thankfully the organizer prepared some refreshment so my stomach is satisfied. i got third place in the competion and i think it is enough. this is my first time competing in a match since i started working. but tonite there are also badminton practice held at the hall. so once again i rushed back home to get my racket and went straight to the court. played few game and after sweating like hell, my body juz won't go on anymore. my schedule today was very hectic but it was fun! i like this kind of life. but the consequence, i felt so tired to the bone every nite. but that the best part of being young...he....
thats all for now...

daily routine?
its 930 pm rite now. i juz finished my work. today i'm away from office because i got some course to attend and its a whole day session. so at 5 pm after coming back from the training course, i'm juz lazing around for a while to rest. it is exhausting to listen to technical talk all day long. it was like the energy is sipping from my head and my feet. boring is one thing, sleepy is the other thing and when both combined, it takes a whole lot of energy juz to pay attention and staying awake! haha...
so after finishing all the compulsory requirement as a servant to the Almighty, i open my inbox and there you are....countless of mails to be answered, few important jobs to follow up and few more added works for today. so here i am now after going through all the mails, replying which is important, keeping the other mails in my "to do" box for tomorrow. i juz don't want to do all of it tonite becoz it won't serve the purpose. i will juz going to finish everything without double checking, without care and simply wanna to get it done! for now, i think all the important ones already covered and all the unimportant ones can wait for tomorrow. cool isn't it? laziness at it best!
i miss my old office, all the people there..but tomorrow i will go for a meeting there and sure i'm gonna enjoy meeting them all. they were like family or more like a father/uncle to me. all of them were seasoned staffs and i'm juz half their age and knowledge-wise, i'm like a baby compared to them. that is the different between my level and theirs and how high my respect to them.
i'm feeling sleepy already but don't wanna sleep juz yet because if i go to sleep now, i'll wake up so early in the morning, sometimes at 4 or 5 am. after that it will be impossible for me to sleep anymore. so i might as well juz sleep at 12 like usual and waking up energized at 6. a sufficient 6 hours of good sleep and resting time for me...=)
ok i think that is all for now...later....

so suddent???
i don't know whether it is a bad news or good news..suddenly my boss called me this morning. he said that there will be a discussion between me and him. so i juz went to meet him at the office. but it was more like an informal type of discussion. he wants me to work at the Gas terminal because there are lots of work there and the only field engineer over there will be leaving for maternity leave in few months time. so i was given a whole new scope of work, at a whole new place of work and with so little time to adjust myself at the new office. from tomorrow onward, i was basically will go to work at the new place, and start to do the job right away. interesting rite? almost absurd in a sense that i'm relatively new, still getting myself along at my old office then suddenly i have to start all over again. but this time, not simply juz learning anymore, i was expected to handle some big project which actually was long overdue. the project must finish before June or else my boss will have to resign because of some environmental issues regarding the effluent water the plant discharging to sea. but the strange thing is, i'm actually enjoying this new challenge and looking forward for the sleepless night ahead....=)
that is juz me...i'm prone to take new challenge and my nature of facing the challenge head on hopefully will help me. actually if u look really closely at any type of work or challenge that u are facing everyday, it was not juz simply one big chunk or clear challenge. it always have different layers, different type of small clusters of problems group together. so it was up to us to unfold it one at a time and my principle in life is simple. don't take everything in one go but proceed slowly to overcome one obstacle at a time until u reach the solution. it was like what i have mentioned before...the same rule applies....don't dream too far ahead. dream something that u think u could achieve and try ur best to achieve it. then take one step upward until u reach the very top if it was meant for u...everything will be based on ur effort and ur ability....
i juz can't wait for tomorrow....new place, new work scope, new people and hopefully new/beautiful/cute office mate....hehe....

the meaning of working life.....
it seems like i'm addicted to write in this blog. but for sure it won't be for long. my life is always like that. almost there are never anything that can interest me for so long before me getting bored. i don't like doing something which is the same everyday but when working, although it almost virtually the same office, the same people i met everyday, it was always interesting. i think it is the fact that i'm learning every second during working. everything is new to me. it was like the more i know, i feel the gap is bigger between me and all the experienced staff in my office. but lucky me, they are always giving me a helping hand, correcting my mistakes, teaching me all their knowledge.
i think slowly i'm catching up with them....hopefully not that slow..=)
like when i juz started working here, i was always amazed by my mentor. there are always people from other OPU wanna visit the plant. so they need an experience staff to be their guide. so the guide must explain about the plant operation, the process, the personnel and bla bla...so it needs lots of knowledge. i'm not ashamed to admit that sometimes i imagine myself was the guide. the satisfaction that i would feel when looking at their amazed face on how well versed i am about my plant. i think that dream was 4 months ago. now it was no more an imagination.
i am actually doing that very same thing now. like last week, twice i bring in visitors into my plant. by visitors doesn't mean like the leisure tourist. this visitors sometimes is actually a Principal engineer which is far more knowledgeable than me. they need information about the plant operation to study if there are any improvement that can be made to enhance the plant output. so u could imagine how many questions they were throwing at me at a time. but i'm enjoying every little bit of it coz they basically asking me the thing that i already know! haha..
i'm building up my confidence level because sometimes, the number of visitors are so many that it almost need not juz confident but also courage to simply talk in front of them. technical talking is far more different that the mere presentation. so imagine how i would feel talking to them! but i'm very grateful to my mentor for all his knowledge given to me. although it is juz a small portion compared to his experience, i'm satisfied because deep down in my heart, i know he will guide me to be better.
some of my friends asked me if i'm enjoying my work? i would answer better...i'm not trading it for any other work. i wanna enjoy learning and working here, from the very bottom of the chain to the top most that my capabilities will allow me. coz ambition alone won't get me nowhere. i must have the capability to support that ambition. and for me, there's no use of dreaming to be the bos now. i'm juz hope that i could do the best that i could everyday, step by step and juz measure what i'm capable to achieve. if it is till reaching the very top, so be it. nobody can stop my ambition, coz i never dream bigger than what i could actually achieve. my dream for now is to be one step higher that where i am now and the steps will keep on going upwards till i'm satisfied. thats basically how i measure myself. got any objection anybody?hehehe.....

quite a hectic weekend i must say....
juz got back home. it already 5 pm?? time really moves fast when u are working. i dunno to whom i might voice out. its not that i'm not satisfied with my work. i juz need some medium or a place that i could tell my stories. of course it is down right boring to the bones, that is why i didn't want anyone to know. so this blog gonna be my secret place, a place or serinity and tranquility for me to write, to rant, to scream about my life. i'm laying out my entire livelyhood here.
so....the story goes like this...
today is friday. it is suppose to be a weekend for us working at east coast of this country. but somehow i got a call at 6 AM urging me to come to the plant.. ok basically, when such important call early in the morning means something wrong with my plant operation. as predicted, there is a total plant shutdown due to suddent dip of power supply from TNB. the emergency generator refuses to start, so resulting in the plant total shutdown. if u were wondering what the heck i'm talking about, let me explain in a more precise and detail way.ok?
my plant is basically a Terminal. by the word Terminal means it receives crude oil from offshore platforms. so almost all the crude oil from platforms in the South China Sea will go straight into the pipeline routing to my terminal. when the terminal shuts, all the producing platform at offshore also must be shut down because they didn't have any form of storage to store the crude pumping out from the well. all the crude pumped out will flow into the pipeline and to terminal. so if something wrong with the terminal, all the platforms offshore must be shut down. interesting isn't it?
now back to my story...yesterday i came home at 7:20 pm after finishing the work which increases everyday. at 8 pm i still got a meeting to attend so after washing up, i went to office for the meeting without any rest. the meeting prolonged until 2 am. when i came back, all the energy has been sucked out dry from my body. i sleep like a baby until 6 am when the office called because of the total terminal shutdown. after only 3 plus hours of sleeping, i went straight into the bath, then to office.
troubleshooting of the equipment took almost all morning until we finally could get the terminal back online. but still, i must stay to finish the report regarding the total shutdown. now here i am, after running around like mad, i think i deserve a good rest this weekend. rite?
i'm writing here not to brag. and i know my working life here is nothing compared to others. but this is my sacret place. i will write about my life, i will pour all my heart and that basically who i am.....

life seen through my inexperience eyes..
what is the meaning of life to u? sometimes i would ask this question to myself. am i worth it to be living and walking in this world? what have i done actually that effect others? something that is so great that people would remember me by...
but i don't want people to remember me, i juz want people to remember the knowledge or teaching from me that would be a betterment to their life. that is how big my dream is. and last time i check, it is still juz a dream but slowly i'm converting it into ambition. coz ambition can drive us to a state that everything seems possible in the eye of a mortal.
maybe it was a childish dream. even a crazy ambition. but life has taught me to be a believer. coz first and foremost, i need to believe in myself. than others will believe me. it was a cascading effect. the believe itself that is so strong, can affect other people near u. by far, i'm not a motivator. but i do have a strong self believe in what i can accomplish. that the best thing of being young. =)
but maybe to all of u, i'm juz another guy with a crazy ambition, stuck up head and don't know about the real world out there. i'm viewing the world as i see it. other people will view it differently. thats why we got the word "opinion". it differs from each individual.
hopefully, i will get that "something" soon enough. for now i'm juz making do with what i have which is a position as a human with a title of a friend, a brother and a son. i'm not the best but i try to be a better person everyday. sometimes today is better than yesterday but tomorrow might be worst than today. life is an interesting cycle that only human like us is subjected to its changes...cross my fingers, hoping for the best tomorrow..
