I have a lot of work yet I am here sleeping my way through. Haih~

Hmm... I'm so bored. I know, I suppose to go to office today. I have a lot of unfinished things to look at. Risk analysis submission to JPP, submissions to IWK, submissions to local authority for 3 cypark solar projects and a lot more where should be settled by next week. Obviously they are gonna be delayed and sadly, no active progress for all of them. So there you go, I have a lot of work in between yet I am here sleeping my way through. Haih~

I feel guilty to Mr F for cypark projects as he did most of the design all the way from structure to infra. Truthfully, those projects are supposed under my responsibility and Mr F just checks upon my design and drawing. He is the project manager and I work under his supervision anyways. Mathematically, I just contributed less than 10% from the entire process.

It seems all instructions felt to the deft ears as I paid all attention to JPP project. I wonder if he pissed for what I've done.

And I've JPP meeting on Monday yet a lot of things are not in place. I 100% confident the client will be irritated and mad upon our infirm progress. 

Dear workload, I'm sorry, I just can't find the enthusiasm to work today. I'm gonna regret this later.

Time Flies

I have never liked working.  To me a job is an invasion of privacy.  ~Danny McGoorty

Today is 17th October 2012 where it marks something to my engineering career. I've been marrying Perwira Al-Shura Consulting Engineers Sdn Bhd as civil engineer for a year now. Being here for a year is something magnificent after considering the company tough circumstances. To date, this is the longest workplace I ever worked and it's worth all the time, effort, throbbing headache, palpitation, crying (as my ex girlfriend was left me during my early involvement in this firm - imagine how badly did I cry haha) and of course lack of sleep.

During my tenure so far, I've through a lot of memories regardless the sweet and the terrible one. It's hard to forget those days especially the hard and difficult moments that I've had endured. I don't expect to work in here until now even I keep complaining every single day about my workload. On another side, I'm glad enough that my time is pretty much occupied with those workloads that I get to enjoy my working life rather than concentrating on my personal life.

My overtime exceeds than 500 hours over my 12 HECTIC months of service here. It's way fantastic compare with other staff members. However, no extra fees being paid upon the extra efforts that I've shown. No special rewards as well except the increment due to my confirmation as company permanent staff. It's also the signal for the probation period was over. That is the terrible thing that ever happened in my career so far I guess. Despite that, I'm glad for myself after be able to go this far. Over 500 extra working hours is like a record that complicated to break. Bravo! Haha, hopeless me..:P

Working under pressure is a normal circumstance for me now, insufficient of manpower doesn't make thing any better when the workloads keep increasing from time to time. Guys, this firm was like a terrible engineering training field to me. Most of the working hours is a brainstorming session. Sometimes, it can't be helped to skip my lunch for the sake of my work. Not just that, I sacrificed a lot of things as well such as money, my quality time with family and friends. Even my ex girlfriend was being one of the victim of my commitments. Sob..sob..sob

Even I keep complaining and whining, I'm still grateful for what I have today. I gain a lot of experiences here where hardly to obtain anywhere. I judge this based on the awarded projects where the firm gets to handle. I'm grateful to have officemates and support staffs which are very friendly, very open minded, easy to communicate and very cooperative. Thanks for being nice to me. I look forward to stay longer in here, but it can't be helped if I'm being offered a new job with handsome income and benefits, I shall grab that :). Im not that stupid to let it go!

Oh My English

It has been a while I didn’t write anything in my blog. The last time I updated was like nine months ago. I actually didn’t remember how long I do absence from blogging but when I took a glance on my previous post, then I realized it was December last year. That’s how I did the calculation – nine months indeed!!!

I need to admit that my English proficiency is getting worst since then. I figured out this matter during in the office today when I need to create a very simple sentence. It took me like 10 minutes before I could complete a proper English sentence. It’s time wasting to me as I could form the same paragraph, same vocabulary and same comprehension without facing single problem before.

Even to write out this entry, I was brainstorming like hell. Well, I need to put some effort to regain that kind of skill before I lost everything soon. Let me see what I can do to improve my English. Good luck to me J   

Jogging after so long!

The idea turned out yesterday's morning once I woke up from my sleep. My body felt so listless and certain muscles were severely pain. However I forced myself rather than taking MC after knowing the awaiting workload at the office needs to be done by yesterday. The workload had motivated me somehow. Huhuhu

I've worked in this new company for almost 2 months now and since then I never took any outdoor exercise to break a sweat. Not even once!!! Plus I took unhealthy diet most of the time without any control schemes. This might be the main reason why my body is so weak, not as energetic as before! Devastating myself!

Since then, I decided to spend my Saturday morning for exercise regime. The best location that came across in mind was Titiwangsa Lake. I eager to run after imagine the atmosphere and also the fact that this is my first time to utilize the facility.

Seems like the plan worked well. Just morning I was on the jogging track just to realize what I had already planned. I've invited my cousin and a friend to come along however the bed gave the best offer to resist. So, I continue my plan while contemplating that there will be a lot of joggers will accompany me. Hahaha

The jogging track is surrounding the Titiwangsa Lake. This recreation place is very popular among the KL population and located not far from my residence area (walking distance). It just takes around 10 to 15 minutes of walking and could be lesser than that if you accelerate your walking style.

I set myself to accomplish 5 rounds minimum. However, I only managed to finish 3 rounds which if I bring to the math, I still short for 2 rounds from what I had targeted. Even though, 3 rounds were enough to torture my physical body.

The energy gone quite fast!!! Can you imagine I passed out after 3 rounds? The desire to run is there yet what does it means when the legs refuse to run? The stamina is on the critical level and need to focus more on the outdoor activity soon so that the problem will be fixed!

Those who think by accomplishing 3 rounds are just a breeze, I assume that you are concreting my statement about myself. Hahaha

And now, this is the come out after putting my stamina to the limit - I thought I will be energetic and feel fresh yet I'm enduring the muscle tense instead. Huhuhu

Beware when you withdraw your money

Last Friday, my office (by referring to the 2nd floor where my workstation is being located) was shocked after one of the staffs told about a brother of her being robbed at one of the well known gas station nearby, in the toilet to be specific!. The incident happened whenever the guy went to the station's toilet right after he withdrew the money. Loads of money of course!

From my own standing point of view, it's believed that he had already been targeted since the moment he headed to the ATM machines. The culprit was observing him since then and when the guy decided to go to the toilet, it was clearly bad idea. Plus, carrying the loads of money had geared up the culprit's motivation I guess.

Well, it wasn't his mistake, no one on earth will aware about that he would be the victim especially at a gas station and in a clear daylight. Exception given to the person who commits the crime as he would knows better his evil operation.

From the above incident, deep down in my heart, I presume that our country doesn't safe anymore. My opinion was supported by others even I didn't say it out loud. I'm very confident with that after hearing everyone's sigh.

To the victim, hope he will recover from trauma soon and escape from the financial matter he probably faces due to the incident. Hope everyone will be extra careful when it comes to MONEY.

The moral of the story, please bear in mind to do the feces and urine job first before you withdraw out your money. A lesson learned :)
