Right or wrong

Decision been made, both parties have agreed, but the questions arises. whether is right decision or not. Nobody knows. The path ahead, which full of doubts and anxiety, i have no idea what is in place for me, suits me or not. Only God knows.

The story started few years back.Been a naive guy who is unaware of the complexity of the issue get himself embroiled in it. That really resulted in several consequences and unhappiness.There are certain time, there is sense of happiness and joyful and for sure there is some sadness and grieve. Nobody knows the real causes as everyone has there own responsibility. Can't blame any party and the most blamable party is me myself. Me myself who started it and i have bear all the consequences.

Been in the process of "saving" or settling it, taught me lot of life lessons. Witnessed the funny and weird side of human being. Sometimes do make my laugh over certain characters. Human being is so interesting and some are very unpredictable and unthinkable. Learn while doing, that the best way to gain something as i myself was experiencing it. Of course, there was some pain and downs in the process. No pain No gain. Appreciate the opportunity given. At least i do learn something. A precious life lesson which definitely useful in the future. At last. after several trials and consultations, a mutual decision been made. A smile of relieve spontaneously appeared, the heavy burden lifted and the anxiety been bothering me for the past few months disappeared .

Issues settled. Life goes on....All the best

Biodata
Date of purchased : 15th December 2008
Venue : Pavallion KL
Brand : Clain
Estimated travelled journey : 30000 km

The specialty of this shoes is it brought me to the furthest i ever been which is LA, USA. and it has been to most countries compare to my other shoes. Although the life span of the shoes is short just roughly 1 and half year. But i do have fond memory with it as it was brought with my own money and just few hours before i departed to the state.

That the prove!!
Standing behind of "jalur gemilang" of USA.

With great sadness, i bid adios to the friend that had been my companion for the past one year plus and acknowledge its service. With the utilization of the new shoes, the life of my beloved companion came to the end.....*emo emo*

Update update

Lately been in "busy" mode of work. Below are my few updates

1) Transferred to new section. Previously i was in MCI section only to find out that i am not interested at material and inspection(routine) job scope. Thus before i "waste" my time, i made the decision to change to Maintenance strategy and Planning. Been more interested in technical planning, that the best section that i could be. Luckily both managers are willing to release and accept me. Thus the transition period is quite smooth but it does create some buzz among the colleagues in the department.Many came and talk/questions/"pycho" me about the decision. They felt that i shouldn't make that move as in their opinions, it would damper the career planning. Just to wish to highlight here. Everyone is different with different perspective and of course life journey. Thus "dont compare with others, you have no idea on what their life journey is all about". Hopefully my choice is correct and currently i am adapting well in the new section with nice managers and helpful colleagues.

2) Attended my 2nd sister wedding reception cum family gathering in Melaka. Ya it yet another marvelous gathering with all my siblings and parents around. Looked at how my sister dressed up that night made me realize i actually gt beautiful sister...Hahahaha. May be see them too often will sometimes make me boring:P A disguise in the blessing....i lost my nike shoes in Melaka...Some bastards just climb inside my sister's house garage n stole it... May be it is fate d...wat to do...

3) Miri games kicked off. I am in charge of bowling event for my team. Observed my players performed in the training, scoring an average of 130 made me feel that the team got chance to get better position. The thought was all totally naive...On the event itself, my team kena tapao like nobody business. Other teams average score was around 150 while my team didnt perform with the average score only around 110. Definitely i was very dissapointed and been hit with the reality that there are still long way to go before my team can really challenge for better position.

4) Normally people talk about bad service of AA due its low cost concept. I did agree to a certain extend. But just recently i encountered a different side story of AA. I was planning my trip to KK next week. Just few days i recieved sms fr AA informing that my flight which suppose to be 8am change to 11am. of course i am quite dissapointed. Thus i emailed AA to seek for compensation( ppl think i was fussy ). But at the end, AA told me that they cnt provide compensation but they allow me to change my flight time without any additional charges. That really come out my surprice as i didnt expect it. Anyway i am glad with the outcome and i will be spending extra day in KK due to change in flight time.

I think that all for now...Will be accumulating my updates for my post..see ya.

"Aftermath" of PIPE 53

PIPE 53, been rated as the 2nd best PIPE session ever organized by Petronas is the results of all those exciting pipers. Been able to join it is a total privilege for me, meet up with great facilitators and pipers is added bonus for me.

From the initial naive thought of "fobia" of this programme mainly due to its duration to the sense of satisfaction and joy after the program enough to describe the effectiveness of this program. I did recieve tonne of possitive comments from previous session pipers, but i am not 100% believe what been said. But apparently, no one can hide the truth. It indeed an ideal start for those petronas new exec in their working career. Been motivated, energized and cherished definitely helped to kickstart in new working environment.

I am fortunate enough to get to meet and hang out with enthusiastic pipers regardless is fresh graduate or experienced. For fresh graduate, of course the talking "channel" will be almost the same. We talk aka crap lot...especially with this guy called AAKK...he know who is he, at least it spice the classroom session. For the experienced, it did provide me with excellent opportunity to learn from these guys especially as a fresh graduate like me who didnt know a single shit on working life...its challenges, expectations, bla bla bla..the lists go on...

Forget about the differences btw both groups, i strongly believe that even with so many "sharks" in both groups, PIPE 53 still managed to produce a great result and unite everyone under one roof. This is the most obvious and most encouraging scenario which i witness. Given a specific tasks, all of us can lay aside our differences( race, religion, social status), for the common goals , gave all the best that we have, and of course taste the glory of completion and success summarize the great time i had in this 16 shorts days.

Thank you PIPE 53,Pipers and For sure..PIPE 53 is the best!

PIPE 53

Yeap..It is. PIPE 53 group 2 official picture with our facilitators.

Program: Petronas Induction Program for executives(PIPE), Session 53
Date: 5th to 20th January 2010
Venue: PERMATA, Bangi and Equatorial Hotel, Bangi-Putrajaya

As the kick start of my working career, i was required to attend this induction program for 16 days. Initially i was amazed with the duration of the program for been too long. But everything changed after i completed this program. Registered and checked in to Permata Hostel with edwin. Anyway, they should rename the hostel to be hotel due to its luxuriousness. Met some ex utpians who was joining the same program as me.

The program officially started with an opening remarks by the MD/CEO of Permata, then we were divided into two classes. I was assigned to group 2 which consists on mostly young people as compared to group 1. The facilitators are Pn Noor and En Mazlee. Both of them ...one word....incredible In this group 2, we were subdivided again into 4 smaller groups based on the shared values, integrity is my group by whom i met some of best people, adrian, shealtiel, ana, aida,arif and gayathiri. Been among the most talkative pipers together with adrian somestimes does you for good, sometimes it doesn't. Good as for been able to express yourselves, get noticed and bring some cheer to the class. But sometimes, i might uttered wrong words which hurt or touched ppl's sensitivity.

The program that we went thru includes vision, mission and shared values. Those thing looked quite boring but the organiser/faci made it in an interactive way by which the effect is much stronger than been taught in classroom styles, several activities been conducted such as building model of twin towers, blind folding games, and several creative presentations. Of course some "energizers"( bangra, poco poco, i love you etc) are done when the class was quite boring. All these really made the group to be more fun and energetic.

Besides that. several outdoors activities been conducted which includes spiderweb and giant slippers while the ultimate outdoor activities is Mega Challenge. This challenge basically trained us on the extreme condition. All our hotel rooms were locked during this challenge to avoid pipers from escaping back to room. Our tasks to build 8 oil rigs using pvc pipe and need to be tested with several weight to ensure its stability. not to 4get...several samples need to be collected as part of challenge's task. Sleeping overnite on wet grass with all the attacks from unknown insects did remind me of my scouting days. A tired yet fun challenge wit me among winning the morning challenge.hahaha....bt got free breakfast too...

Towards the end of the pipe, we were exposed to some technical and non technical briefing which somehow make me quite sleepy at times, The programme concluded with groups presentations and a 8 courses sit down chinese cruisine dinner the night b4 that.

Anyway, that just some brief description of this program. Basically this program is an ideal start for my working career.. My feeling regarding this program will be blogged next..til then c ya

1st week review

The above picture tell everything. Just got my staff card or security card today after one week i started off my working life here. Yea..it is official, i am officially an exec in SKO.

It has a whole new experience to me, from that moment i touched down to the soil of Miri to the moment i pen this blog, everything seems to move very fast. One week just passed without realizing it. Been picked up and "chaffeured" everyday by SKO driver, staying in a quite luxurious hotel( each of us got our own triple sharing room) for two weeks reconfirmed my predictment of the intensity of outside ppls cracking their head, trying to squeeze themselves into oil and gas industry.

My hotel room

Been here for the 1st time. everything are so alien and new to me. But Thank God that there are various party of people who are there to assist me. In my working environment, BRE/5 or MCI section colleagues who have been helping me in adapting to this "thinker" section., especially to Ivy, Jing Jing , Ester, Ruzlan and FridauSEEEE...thank you. To those saints who help me to settle my accomodation and brought me to familiarize with the Miri city. May the Lord remember your offering.

My rooms for next few years

More of my house picture are available in my facebook.

Anyway, one week has passed.another week here before i fly back to west msia for PIPE. Time to learn more and get used to the life in Miri and SKO. Till then, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it and Happy new Year....countdown to 6 days before we closed the curtain of 2009

Adios West Msia, Hello Miri

The time has finally arrived, after 6 months of lazying around been jobless while waiting for the placement, i am flying off to Miri tomorrow for my first job. Tomorrow, my parents will be sending me to the KLIA and bid adios to me.

My feeling now is totally mixed. With the belief that i have made a right decision to accept this offer , i am anxious yet excited, anxious as i m pondering what really going to happen next few days and how my future going to be unfolded, exciting due to my new home, Miri and my working environment. I have been googling a lot and asked some unbiased feedback regarding this city. And the response was very possitive except that the cost of living there is just slightly below comprare to KL which force me to do early budgeting.

Recently, i had the opportunity to fellowship with my youth serving one for advice as he has been in this industry for quite some times yet he can still managed to live a proper church life. From the fellowship, i been reminded that no matter how busy i will be , i still need to live a proper church life. One of the useful way to keep myself attached to the church life is thru engaged myself in the church service. The phase he used " Not according to our own preference" which give me clearer picture on the church service which i hope to engage. Thank you brother for such a timely reminder.

To my friends whom i managed to meet up for farewell in 4 different places, Sitiawan, KL , Melaka and Penang, i enjoyed hanging up with you all and thank you for your time spent to meet up with me. You have my best wishes in your future endeavor. All the best and see you when there is chance.

I have to stop here , gonna prepare for my dinner with my parents in sunway piramid. sad to leave them too but life still have to go on, hope they can take care themselves when i am not around. Ok...Time to off...Adios to West Msia and Hello to MIRI...May the Lord continue to preserve me.
