Bye bye Mase San....

Friday 29th September 2006 is my Japanese colleague's last working day for his company Sato Kogyo Pte Ltd. Let me introduce you my friend, Mr Mase Koichi, we call him Mase San.

Can't believe that he resigned. He has been working for Sato Kogyo for almost 10 years. He is actually from the civil side.. but for this Circle line stage 3 lorong chuan station project, he is being assigned as the architectural coordinator for the main con. He has really worked very hard for this project and is well liked among his fellow colleagues, and even those others from LTA, sub con.. sub sub con etc etc.

This April we just went to China together. And i really believe in fate. Because of this China trip, we got to know each other better. And we have become friends after that. And he is able to joke around with me.

I think my company owe him too much. He has helped us so much in this project. And i couldn't have done so much without his help. As this project started with me as the only draftsman.. its so stressful.. not only that i have to do drafting work, i also have to do QS's stuff... material submission... cos why? Our QS is so lazy. Several times i've thought of giving up. But Mase san gave me the best morale support.

We went to china that time is to find drafting company to help us do the drawings and i will do the coordination between china and singapore. But eventually turned out that we dont want China side to do the drafting.... and they dont seem to be keen at all either... so the final decision is that i will be doing the drafting for the project.

I smsed Mase that i will be doing the drafting.. Surprisingly.. i was meant to be unhappy and disappointed with the company (Because they changed PM and PD giving the reason that they can't handle the project, just to pushed away doing the project).... sian lah.

Anyway.. I'll like to thank Mase for all his hard work for the project. Really, without him, this project can sink down to the underground already.

Summary of what happened.

Well its been so long since my last blog... let me see... its been more than 2 weeks.. gosh.. i must have been real slacking....

Actually no lah... been having too much stuff happening these few weeks.. about my new job.. you remember? Its so troublesome to have so many stages to go thru.. first is the informal interview.. follow by a formal interview with the principle, director and hr head. Same day i received a call telling me that i got accepted but i have to go for a medical check up and x ray first before i can resign... bla bla.. Last wed i went to sign my appointment letter, follow by medical check up at Dover Clinic.. then make my way down to Jurong East there a Radiology clinic for X ray. Thats not the end yet leh. I still got to make my way down again to bring all my original document for verification.. gosh what is there to varify??? If they are fake, i wont be here already right.. To work in a stat board or govt sector is so troublesome! grrrr... And next week i am going for my In camp training already... i sure will get a call from school one.. but i can't make my way down just for all those things ah... i am suspecting that they will be calling me to resign before going down.. then sign the contract and also for the verification purposes... but then i know that i can't one.. like my lecturer says.. its unfair lah.. i 3 weeks here for ict away from work.. its like saboing them... sigh... I've already tried my very best to hurry up already...

Thats all for this blog.. follow up blog i will post some pics :) STay tuned!!!

............

Okie.. its been a few days since i write my blog.. obviously, i have been slacking around.. hehe

No lah.. just dont really know what to write these days.. seems there are nothing much interesting to write about.. other than feedbacking on what happen in the office.. kinda boring to state it down here....

A drafting colleague of mine is sick for 2 days.. so today and tomorrow i will be so alone in the container. And its like inside a jail like that... other than drafting.. nothing else.. and dont bother to surf net lah.. that computer is at another table ...

Just take a look at how cramp and loads of stuff this container is...

This is my computer table.....

So cramp and small right??? Just imagine our drawings is A1 or A0 size one leh... where got place to put.. and so many things stacking one another.. so hard to do work...

But this office although small... we've got everything we need..

Maybe you cannot see properly what are there... let me introduce.. there is instant coffee, a tin of assorted biscuits, a tin of butter cookies, mcvites digestive cookies with chocolate coating on top one (very nice), ginseng for heaty days, sweets, packet drinks and water flask for plain water.... used to have cup noodles.. but finish already lah..

Will start to post with pics if available.. hope you have enjoyed this post so far...

Sat-ur-Day Fever

I just anyhow hum tum a title lah... dont really think of a good title to put.

With regards to the interview that i have mentioned in earlier post... my buddy actually want me to find out more.. dont want me to get cheated. Find out more on what need to do, what dont need.

As my classmate is the previous one there. I managed to get hold of his phone number thru our class list lol. So with that, i got his handphone number. Basically, i have asked him regarding the job scope. That ADRC ( architectural department resource centre ) will be your baby. you will be fully incharge of maintaining that whole area. You may call yourself a facility or service personel.. your job is to facilitate that place. Especially that resource library. Once a while you have to input with the latest catalogue.. as students needs to find out some construction detailing that they may need for their drawings. This is fine with me. I've been in this industry....

Most important thing i want to say now is that just now... i gave a call to my lecturer who interviewed me... allow me to address him Mr Goh. I expressed my deepest concerns with regards to that TSO position. I am indeed very keen to know about the career prospect.. long term and short term. Will there be things to learn and know and what plans has the school got for the TSO.

Short term wise, there will be lots for that person to do for sure (which is good). And long term, he has plans for sending the TSO for safety officer course (hey.. related to my current industry huh) and is something which i once wanted to take. And of course some other course which he didn't mention.. (can't promise for time being mah).. but he say definitely he can work things out with the TSO.. if he has got things he wants.

Will be working directly under him.. so i guess its ok.. since know him so many years already during studies.

Maybe you can look forward to the mid and year end bonus too... and if you perform well.. there is performance bonus too..

Mr Goh also mentioned that there are a few that went for the interview ( of course lah.. i know can't be only me right? ) hehehe... and the one after me is a 40 plus years old lady (?).. and they are actually looking for someone who is young who tends to work hard and strive for a better future... Mr Goh actually mentioned that they maybe want me.. think maybe like that i have a vouch from them... so now depends on the second formal interview already lo

Prolly next week will receive a call from the HR informing on the second interview already... and the second interview will mostly held this month. Before i go reservist next month.

Mr Goh says just nice lah.. after i reservist come back is nov already.. then can start work there.
Gosh... what does this means.

Actually hor... i dont know how leh.. If really kena the post, quit must one month in advance notice. And if i before october tender my resignation letter.. that makes it just nice. And i still got excess 10, 11 days leaves haven't clear yet leh. So you see huh.. if i come back from reservist.. basically i dont have to go back to work already...

Office tend to like to play cheat something is that they purposely say they didn't receive your resignation letter and i dont know they have to sign before you can be 'approved' resign.

So if in that case, i will make more copies of my resignation letters and i make sure to inform they do.. cos i will emphasis my appointment letter only says i need to give one month's notice.. never say about approve or not approve and i am sure you wont see me again in Nov.

AI YO!

Second interview haven't come yet keep thinking of all these already.... lol. See how things goes first lah.

I am quite looking forward to it actually after the clarification talk with Mr Goh. At least now i make sure i am not sitting there doing nothing... such kind of job is not for me.

Wish me good luck.
