Partial Release of stop work

5 days of housekeeping work 真不是盖的!! I never see precast yard to be so clean as before!

Every staff were required to work on last Sunday.. and the reward is two fiji apple and a packet of Mee Rebus. Done and submit the rectification work a few times and finally MOM inspectors came down.. for partial inspect only.

All sites already shooting a lot of letters to claim EOT.. without our components delivered to them.. the sites are in stand still situation. A lot of backlog for the deliveries.. no choice, AL request MOM to allow the crane to be in operation.. and only the MOM came down upon special request.. i guess if this still can't work out... AL will go and look for HDB head

Finally la.. partial start work order is given .. hopefully Friday can full start again.. Construction site? .. wait long long lu..

today followed the inspector for 2 hrs under the sun.. arh.. HOT!! become darker alr..

Waterspout vs MOM Chaotic

While everyone was talking about the waterspout at East Singapore.. there were another BIG thing happening at West Sg too...

Right here.. my workplace at tuas! Two MOM big guys slam into the office and looking for project manager. That's funny that they thought I’m the PM when I greet them.. do I look like a PM? For that instance, I knew what will happen later.. it's expected for me!! The constructing building were not barricaded, whoever drove pass sure know this is non-conformance!

When I saw their namecards.. OHH ! One AngMoh is the Director of OSH department, another Singh is Group Head.. no wonder so ON! Hm.. Syscon.. definitely sure kena jia lat jia lat this time!

Expected. AL went up the construction building with them.. FULL STOP WORK order is given. Never end.. they went into the precast yard and point out more ~~~ Another FULL STOP WORK order for production yard.. they commented the worker quarters is INCREDIBLE! TERRIBLE !! uh.. It's the worker indirectly sabotage us.. especially China workers.. I really can't imagine how they can stay in such a dirty and smelly quarters! Half way inspection, a MOM bus with another 4 inspectors arrived.. eh.. there's no fatal accident what.. why so dramatic?

All workers and staffs were gathered at the quaters & office.. only Managers following the inspectors. Are we watching a movie? sort of.. jus watching the inspector up & down, taking few hundreds of photo.. and wait for the "execution" later

Well.. we staff put today 526 as our housekeeping day, a real big housekeeping .. with a total of 200 workers. Only housekeeping is allowed over the weekend, gotta inform them for inspection on Monday.. never know when will the START WORK order given..

This is really a good lesson for the management.. if not they will only put their focus on Production & Delivery.. never have a stronger effort in SAFETY.

Good Lucks !!!

拿了两天的假.. 终于在周末把新的住窝搞好了… 非常感谢黄爸爸黄妈妈.. 还有小弟小妹的鼎立协助.. 用了一天的时间把一堆一堆的蜘蛛网, 黑到~不能再黑的地板, 多到~不能在多的杂物全部解决掉! 不要问我为什么不是屋主打扫? 因为他说既然你们(我和俊凯)是朋友.. then you both settle youself. Haiz.. 也不是怪谁啦.. 既然是自己住的地方.. 在辛苦也是为自己好..

用了一天到tampines.. 一次走完Ikea, Courts & Giants.. 把该买的买齐..可怜老爸脚酸还一直跟我们MO~~.. 再用一天把屋子里的东东整理好.. 终于啦!! 昨晚还在家里开饭勒! 感动.. 感动

是这几天的天气太热吗?? 开始怀疑买的电风扇不够力!! 热到~
上下电梯都是遇到阿公阿嘛.. 看我搬东西还热情的问刚搬过来啊? 让我觉得这里的老人很友善.. 昨天跟隔壁的UNCLE笑笑.. 他都不理睬我勒!! Mai~an~neh ar? 楼下有个沟渠工程.. 一直嗡嗡嗡到晚上9点多.. 电视开大声都不怕打扰到别人..

找了个多日子.. 终于能够齐聚一堂.. 至少爸爸妈妈不会在唠唠叨叨啦..

希望我会慢慢喜欢这里...

我搬去tiong bahru了喔... 欢迎来坐坐 :)

Is TIRED a valid reason?

看JX自信满满地去BKK出差... 要待多久都不是很清楚. 可是我却觉得这是难得的机会, 难得的体验.. 不是每份工作, 每个公司都会给予的机会. 我相信坚强任性的你, 应该会很努力地过的好好的..

在我看来.. 这样方式的出差, 也是一种短暂的逃离... 一种安逸的逃离... 现实的factor like 工作和$$ 还不用操心.. 只是工作环境改变, 但这种改变就能够让人重新开始生活一样... 着实羡慕..

工作这么多年.. 累. 不变的生活, 不变的工作... 累!!!

强烈的欲望想做一次逃离...

我要贵人!

话说星期六晚上到了BUGIS.. 一出闸门, 就看见高人一等的昭铭迎面而来. 寒暄一下.. 他回家, 我去楼上meet他. 才上到楼, 刚过KFC, 怎么有人在我面前招手? Oh.. 紫薇格格desu suo. 离开Syscon不用做工的星期六, 和老妈子逛街ne. 平时的打扮很有女人味ne. 后来决定去吃pasta mania, 坐着等面时.. 又来一个美女.. 我的hall 4 neighbour文诗姐姐.. 所以就把kitchi去BKK, ah Pam去US的消息告诉她...

再说今天早上, 地铁里, 两个门之间的距离.. 1点钟方向是正在熟睡酱的colleague, 再转头4点钟方向是同样tmn Melodies + NTU 的Senior.. (5 年都没有见过). 会不会太夸张?酱小的车厢也可以碰到两个？

我说啊... 这么厉害让我碰到认识的人, 为什么不让我碰到贵人？或者仙人？给我来指点迷经吧！

不想去上班

在kinokuniya买了这本书, 纯粹就是因为它的标题... 不想去上班.. 根本就是我近期的心情写照!!!

作者用插图方式把主人翁土豆Dori的上班日记幽默无厘头地呈现出来

还在看..

这个Dori在韩国很红勒, 有MSN图像... 还有产品专卖店!

New! Uzumaki Sakura Ice Cream

I tried this Uzumaki Sakura Ice Cream @ bugis.. hhmm... It taste like milky + mild berries soft ice cream.. the chocolate chips created a crunchy bites while the ice cream melts in the mouth..

Not a bad choice once in a while... as it cost $4... expensive leh..

Aburiya + Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie

eih.. the last gathering was just only a week ago and why there's another outing again? well.. the reason for this gathering is to farewell kitchi and give her an advance bday celebration.. (hm.. though still 2 weeks more to go).. but for sure, she will be leaving to Bangkok for work.. at least 30 days she will stay, come back and return to BKK again.. bought her a backpac bag.. chosen by herself.. hope she uses it well !!

We changed our mind to have our dinner at Aburiya as the patisserie don't serve much main course for 10 of us !

Aburiya @ Robertson Quay is a Japanese + Korean grill-our-own style restaurant. Can choose their 2 pax set meal or ala-carte. We grill our meat on top of the charcoal, just like BBQ.. But I feel my face very hot after the meal as the heat from the charcoal keep blowing towards me throughout the meal.. arh.. hot hot. You may consider to sit outdoor as I feel it's quite stuffy for indoor.. smoky and less ventilation I think.. overall the food is nice lah..especially they have lots of different types of marinated meat for you to use. How about grilled duck? It taste special, try it out!

Then we headed to Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie for their fairy-tale made patisseries. Wuh.. they look so nice so 精致 that u don't know how to start your first scoop.. afraid of spoiling the cake. They are selling at $6 per piece. The differences of a patisserie and normal cake? I think the patissier is more emphasizing in the creativity, design and presentation of the pastries using different kind of ingredient. You can try out and know what the exact taste of a normal cake is, but from wat we experience last nite, we can hardly descript the exact taste from a patisserie! Think that's the magical factor that attract us...

Towards the end of the gathering.. somebody already asking "when will be the next gathering?" ... huh?? who knows? .. I'm sure there will .. as long as there's a minor reason.. ha

gathering tonite

Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie

We are going there for dinner tonight

Stay tune....

JB's properties sell like hotcakes too!

Went to the bungalow launching at the Impian Emas Goft Course for a free lunch on Sunday. Wow.. the bungalow land already SOLD out and only left 20 units which facing the main road and it goes at RM60 psf. Times up with the land area... ooo.. u got to pay RM600K for the land only! waPiang.. SOLD out.. that mean lots of wealthy ppl are moving into my neighbourhood ~ (in case those never visit my home.. my house definately not BUNGALOW as advertised above.. thank you)

Imagine u buy the land, you engaged architect for your bungalow then follow by contractors, landscaper.. how much will be spent in the end?? For me it will definitely be a 天文数字! Made me relates the phenomenon to the Sg Condo sales. Wonder.. how many bungalow owners are really Johorean?

Anywhere, few years later.. I will see lots of different and unique design of bungalow scattered ard the green scenery beside the golf course.. see also can Wow.. Woowww... wow...

For us.. just go there for the following.. ahhaa.. unit enquiry counters? Not our interest pls..

FOC neck+shoulder+back massage from 满足爽 (located in front of 大马小贩中心)



FOC Manicure.. as young as 4 yrs kids to as old as my Mum.. erbb.. Most popular

五味杂陈 – Fabulous Seafood dinner

During that few hours of down mood after the interview.. I start SMS my fellow kakis for the dinner at nite. Surprisingly... everyone is so supportive and just reply OK, no problem !! oh.. that really gave me a warm feel at that moment.. (or they alr knew there're sponsors for the meal?)

I spent the rest of my leave day walking around Orchard Road.. hey, it's only 4 plus and how come it's so crowded?? These ppl no need to work? Arh...

I went to Clarke Quay to check out the best makan place for nearly 10 of us.. uh.. very expensive leh... In the end I chose the Quayside Seafood .. anywhere it should be nice for ordering few dishes and everyone can get wat they like ..

Sri Lanka Chili Crab. Lobster in herbal soup. Steam tiger Garoupa. Scallop with 芦笋... still a lot more.. that's really a big feast, I have never ate such feast in JB yet leh!!! Too bad.. none a picture taken !! we are just too eager to eat eat eat eat eat .... ... ...

The gathering end with Swenson Black Forest Ice-cream cake.. yummy ~

Last but not least.. our usual ending .. the group photo ~~

Em... Veerla.. you miss the seafood!! this meal is proudly sponsored most by yiqi & chiyu

五味杂陈 – Suck Interview

Came back to office on Wed with a very complicated mood as I don't wish to come back office and wonder when will my migraine attack again?

I took a half day leave earlier on as there will be an interview at 1330hrs.. Ho.. I used the excuse of going to meet my tiong bahru new unit owner for contract signing... but this AL wan me to go back office after I settle the issue.. "You took half day again? You jus back from the leave! Come back come back!" nah.. wait long long..

Alrite, I would like to share this sucking interview with my civil fellas..

“Since you are already so long in construction, why you wan to have this drastic change to go for design? Frankly speaking.. you are just nothing and just like a fresh grade !”

“okay, you don't have any experience in design, how about your result?... (after seeing the transcript) .. oh, your engineering paper didn't do so well, what's the reason? Our employees here are mostly second upper and above.”

“The best offer I can give is $2100, eventhough a bit more experience I will give like $2200 only. But I don't think you would accept unless you really wan to start all over again.”

“Actually you are not at lost; I believe you still can improve yrself in precast line. As an engineer, you can always implement or suggest what the best solution for your management and I'm sure there's always a career ladder for you to climb.”

“I didn't get chance to read your resume as I'm oversea. I called you for interview cos I saw your name as a Chinese. We prefer Chinese more than foreigner...”

Oh.. didn't read resume and ask ppl go for interview and kena all these sucking comments from you!!! Then wat's the point of stating "Only short listed candidates will be notified" ????

FED UP !!!!

My mood is terribly down for few hours. What have I done to deserve all this? After cooling down.. some of his comment might be useful.. it gave me a hint that maybe I shall continue my path in the construction or supplier line.. “if you're in precast, be the best in your specialities” .. yes, if you wan to enhance yourself and be more competent, try to be outsourced and think wide from your current job.. if not u can't show ppl your outstanding point when you go for interview.. as interviewer always expect more for EXPERIENCED candidates. And the truth is... we are not fresh grade anymore !

Good luck to all my friends there...

Back from Rejuvenate weekend

Batam Turi Beach Resort was indeed a getaway location for those who like to have a quiet and lazy retreat vacation.

Only 35 mins away from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal and you can reach a totally different view of lifestyle.. Batam is definitely less crowded than Bintan.. and the price of food at Batam also lower than Bintan!! And amazingly.. it's cloudy and windy .. Not sweaty hot at all !

I felt ease when I saw the sea.. heard the waves.. and smell the fragrance of indo food from the café. We didn't make any arrangement for wat should do over there (actually also no where & nothing much u can do over there).. it's just purely walk ard, lying ard and spent your time there!!

The wooden deluxe villa with balcony facing the sea, the hut around the pool and the Indo traditional massage beside the pool ~~ Cool.. I even had my own-prepared mask done beside the sea!! hooo..

听海风, 看本书, 凉风习习的露台... 太舒服了










人很少吧?! 难得悠闲...











有备而来! 不会太夸张啦....











Few observation to share:

1) Whenever there's beach and pool.. there's Ang Moh. The difference is.. the Ang Moh here was engaged with local Indo lady.. with kids having a vacation. Doo shite?? A wedding was held at the platform at the sea walkway there.. also Ang Moh with Local

2) Not a Japanese at all! unlike bintan... I can see a few groups of Korean visitors walked ard the pool side and beach to take photosss.. No idea wheather they stay overnite at the resort or not

3) Lots of mosquitos attacking in the hut at nite.. bring mosquito repellent? yes you can.. but actually the resort is very caring, they provide two small pack of repellent lotion in the bathroom! and the white curtain with the bed is actually 蚊帐
