Diary-04/06/2009

I am back!!! After so many days did not touch my blog, some even asked whether my blog died already. It's ok, just recently a bit busy, and might be a bit hard for me to reorganize what happened so many days ago. Be prepare, since it might be a long one (eventually I want to write yesterday, but end up left my small notice book at car, so can't make it).

Let's talk about my work first. Really feel glad having nice colleague. My manager, Ah To, always there to solve problems, share with me precious experience and teach me a lot of things, patiently. Mike (his Myanmar name is Aung Aung, so cute), looks simple, but actually very smart. Some how I didn't feel that he want to harm me, so still quite enjoy fooling around with him. (He like to play with Eugene when To not around). Finally but not less, Eugene, eventhough he is same age as me (actually is bigger then me la, we born at same year, but he is March, me December), but he take care of me as if I am his little brother. He even tell some other people that I am his younger brother, and really got one people believe. (I don't know whether he find out or not now). Anyway, I am still not used to when they call me "Ling" or "Ah Ling", feel a bit weird.

Now talk about other people beside my Qudotech. I am working at site name "Solaris Dutamas 2", its developer is Sunrise, and main con is BGB. The consultant is SSP and Aston Star. There are still other sub con like Poly and Cobrain (both working on electric), GAE (air con), Langsutra (gas), L.T.Y (box up or plaster, I also not clear, too many to remember). Somehow I have to remember the company, their workers, etc. Quite fun somehow can know a lot of new "friends", which will somehow instantly change into foe when got interception in work. When got boss like M&E coordinator, Site Manager, or other superior want check the site, then all subcon will follow. It is somehow like last ancient time when the emperor want to go out, than got 1 gang of people follow. It is somehow quite fun, and even in meeting, since all so funny and talkative. The atmosphere is really harmony, but it only occur when there are no problems. Site is like that, and I think real life also like that. Beside remember all the companies and other supervisors name, I also need to remember my own workers name. By right there are 60 qutotech workers at site, so I have to remember 60 names...... Very hard for me, especially some of them looks a like. Anyway, after this few days, I manage to recognise around 10 of them.

To become a good site supervisor, I must have good equipment (same like online game). After 1 weeks, I manage to assembly the basic equipment. Safety helmet, handphone bag (bringing a newer handphone, need protection from site), back bag (to bring everything, pants pocket is not enough), marker pens, pens, small note book, ruler tap, camera, water bottle, spray paint, torchlight. Somehow I already start to use to site work, start to mix up with rude word in my conversation, throw rubbish and pee everywhere. Anyway, eventhough my appearance already same to the site, my personality and requirement still haven't reach. I found out that I very hard to stay focus for a long period of time (sometime 5 minutes also cannot stand). This is a very serious problem, sometimes feel myself so stupid and useless, can't remember the things that other people tell or teach me.

For this week, for the first few days, I reach site quite late (after 8:30am), and my morning is usually not much thing to do. Sometimes I even free till phone some friends. And once after lunch, all tasks will appear making me busy till 6pm. As time goes by, the busy time extended. Eventually, for 4th, 5th and 8th of June, is my critical moment. This is because To and Eugene has went to China for company trip, left me and Mike at site, so I have attend all meetings, and appear for all questions. A hard task, somehow I manage to survive for first day, but don't know whether I can hang up for 2 days. I really don't hope other people say that after 2 weeks at site, I can't solve simple tasks. This 2 days I am the last supervisor go back home, after 7:30pm, so a bit short of time also.

A funny fact about site. As all know this Saturday is Agong's brithday, all people should be happy for the holiday. But at site, all people so serious about the holiday, and discussing on how to prevent outside people know our workers working etc, really a different world.

Nowadays, every week I will go play badminton. This past Monday, I and Han Lyn go play again. Me still bad as usual, being lessoned by many people there. One fun thing is, my boss David, he bet RM10 that I can make pumping for 20 times, and I made it, hence I get the RM10.

Life always got happy and sad things. Eventually, when doing this work, I didn't get much support. All coursemate won't enter site, my family also not agree on me having this job. My mother phone me twice and ask me change job, my brother told me better apply for multinational company, my father also don't think working long in site is good. Feel frustrated and confused somehow. I understand all their point actually. But somehow I think working in site can train me into become a complete human, and I think it is harder for other job. I also think sometime, whether I have to work in site everyday, end up go back home dirty and smelly? Or enter a big company, everyday sit office, get company laptop and benefits......
