热脸烫冷屁股

我喜欢中六时的生活,它可说是仅次于大学生活,在我人生里最愉快的。中六的我把从前自闭的包袱抛开,开始试着打开心房,接受其他人,结交新朋友。那时的我不像从前那样,脑袋里只装着“把书读好”这四个字。在那短短两年的中六,缘分的安排下,让我有了自己的gang,我们六位因此成为好朋友,还自称为“桃谷六仙”。原因,我们就好像《笑傲江湖》里的“桃谷六仙”一样那么疯疯癫癫,经常在班上自讲自笑,好像“神经病”。中六生活也许对很多来讲是人生梦魇, 但是它对我来说是畅快的。也许是因为愉快的读书环境, 我STPM的成绩比起SPM的成绩来得好很多。

所以,我很珍惜这段友谊。虽然大家现在都有各自的发展,但是只要有任何公共假日,有回来居銮,我都希望大家能够出来聚一聚,了解彼此的近况。这么多年来,我跟心都是那根线,穿梭在我们六人之间。原因是不想友情随着时间而慢慢地淡化。在此也感谢心的帮忙安排与联络。

在一群朋友内,每个人扮演的角色都不一样。大致上分为两组:主动和被动。主动的通常会联络大家,为大家安排节目。至于那些被动的,经常都会“等着被通知”,没有叫到就继续passive;有叫到也不一定会出现。最糟糕的是,连回复要不要参与都没有,好像“人间蒸发”似的!其实,要经营一段友情,每一位成员都有责任,单靠一方面的努力和付出是不够的。

前几天,让我碰到人间蒸发已久的华,第一件事就是质问他“死”去那里了,近一年没他的消息。不是没联络,而是他从不回复我们任何一封不管是简讯或电邮都好!他还很敷衍地以“很忙”和“从来不回简讯”为理由来回答我。一点抱歉或愧疚心都没有!这样的答复的确令人失望,犹如不在乎这段友谊。所以,有时觉得自己干嘛花费心思安排节目、联络这个那个的,最后也只是换来人家的“不在乎”!

Enjoyable Christmas Party on 23rd Nov

In conjunction with Christmas and New Year festivals, Ivy's birthday celebration and Dr. Soh's farewell, the house owner Hanizah suggested to have a party in her house. The invitation has been sent out a few weeks before the festival in order to suit the most every attendees' availability. At last, the date was set on 23rd Nov, due to two reasons, ie. everyone is available on that night; 2nd, "purposely" to have the same date as Jie-jie P's open house, so that we have a strong reason not to attend that open house. Hahahaha.....


From top left: Ivy, Yik Jia, Dr. Soh, Fei Fei and Lim Yee
From bottom left: Sugan, me, Ser and Ruey Mond, and Hanizah


11 people is in the invitation list. Finally, 10 people turned up, Kwa was unfortunately sick that day. The tantalizing main course include "nasi kerabu", satay from "Kak Esah", "Island Supreme" flavoured pizza and "Deli-Wings" from Pizza-Hut as well as fruit salad as appetizer. As for dessert, we had "longan + natta de coco" jelly prepared by Ivy. As usual, Sugan was the drink mixer, she prepared ice-lemon tea for us. Everyone had a very filling dinner until satay and pizza could not be finished!

Ivy's 25th birthday celebration

Not forgetting, the Christmas tree in Hanizah's house. This tree is DEFINITELY bigger than the one in our office which is bought by the STINGIEST mat salleh boss! Before the dinner starts, the christmas tree was well-decorated by Fei Fei and Dr. Soh with colour papers, but too bad, the tree was not decorated with lights. After the dinner and cleaning the kitchen, we all sat in the living room and the "gossiping" session was formally started! We had a wonderful session with the "nice story" shooting those stingy mat sallehs in the company. Marvelous gossips from everyone! Good and keep it up, guys! hahahaha....


This Christmas tree is taller than the one in Site Office

To me, I really enjoyed that night very much. I would like to express my gratitude to all the members involved. I can say the night was superb!

Thanks to Hanizah for organising the party;
Thanks to Lim Yee for joining the party and welcome you as well;
Thanks to Soh and Fei Fei for the decoration with limited sources;
Thanks to Yik Jia for preparing the fruit salad;
Thanks to Ivy for igniting the HOT topics to 'kenakan' me;
Thanks to Ser for stirring up the topics as merry as it can be;
Thanks to Ruey Mond for keeping up the topics' momentum;
Thanks to Sugan for 'kenakan' Ser habis-habis!!
Thanks to myself for becoming the centre of bombardment....

Looking forward to the next gathering.....

Busy week!

Undoubtedly, it has been a busy and difficult week for me. Starting from the week, I have to be more independent and more decisive. With the absence of SS, I MUST start to stand on my own feet in resolving DCS problems. She is no longer in charge of it although the control room still, sometimes, calls her for help.

At the beginning of the week, I was so busy in arranging the room due to the "invasion" of Jie-jie P. In addition, the control room kept on calling me to solve all kind of DCS problems. And, very strangely, the logics was abit "gila" this week, even the mat salleh also had no solution for it. "Strange, I don't know! Scooby doo!" This was how he answered me. Hahaha....

"Boon, reactor 1 tak boleh jalan initial flush apabila switch to pump B, dia hang la..."
"Boon, reactor 3 tak boleh pull vacuum, boleh tengok?"
"Boon, reactor 2 hang dekat initial MAA charge, dia fail sebab SP low..."
"Boon, pump B pun tripped, boleh force transition initial flush untuk reactor 1 & 10 tak?"
etc.

OMG, macam-macam DCS problems! Since I am still not so familiar with the software and my trouble-shooting ability is not that good, therefore it took me so long to come to the solution. However, all these are actually very good for me, as I could gain the experience to improve my understanding to the system and trouble-shooting skill as well.

In conclusion, I was unable to finish any of my pending reports. Moreover, it is currently end of the month, it is time to submit the monthly report. I still haven't started any single word yet! What a busy and stressful week!

景物不再,人事也非

终于随着姐姐P的加入及办公室的“缩水”,她“被迫”弃办公室,迁入工厂里。虽然经过屡次的劝阻,但终究无济于事,她还是下定决心迁移。

姐姐P的入侵,改变了这个局面,不仅是办公室的排位,而且也包括了人事的调动。我们是百般地不愿意让她离去,她自己何尝不是呢?但在高层管理“精明”调动的牵绊下,我们又能做些什么呢?她的ex-boss鬼佬都已“洗手”不理,我们这些小虾米还能做什么呢?

昔日在办公室里的欢笑声,无厘头的黄色笑话,七嘴八舌的说人是非不会再有。我会怀念这些日子,我相信她也有同感。她是我的“师傅”,真的很感谢她从零开始的教诲,非常感激!尽管如此,你还是我们的canteen kaki,可别忘了哦!

竟然又让我遇到!

之前,还觉得她人不错,应该还蛮好相处的,至少给我感觉友善、健谈。七月间,公司安排我和她上一个在首邦为期一星期的课程。但是,课程过后,她给我的印象已大不如前,她的想法奇怪,非我能接受。(别误会,不是要追求她,她太老了!)

然后,公司传出了一系列的有关于她的谣言。传她很有可能被调过来process部门,而且很高可能性成为我的上司。我开始担心了,四处打听她在公司的声誉,做事方式,人缘等。所探到的消息,竟然无一是正面的!为人自私、自恃、从不接纳别人意见、表面友善、攀关系等...天啊,她在公司的人缘还算糟糕的!

今天,我终于见识到她“攀关系”的技巧。100%虚假的笑容、200%装热情的勾肩搭背,这些动作也似曾相识,十足像极了昔日一位友人!真的很假!读书时已遇到这种人,为何在职场上竟然又让我遇到呢?唉~~很烦!

Forget it!!

Recently, process team's workload has become heavier. We are getting more and more ridiculous tasks which are not included in our job scope! We not only deal with trial grades schedule, but also DCS issues, process issues, daily monitoring of quality issues, trending and analysis of end product fluid properties, etc. Yet, the head of technical who is stationed in front, away from the plant area, always thinks that the process team sit in front of the PC and do nothing the whole day. We suspect there must be someone behind who "api-apikan" all these, saying the process team has got nothing to do!

Now, we are even asked to take samples from reactor ourselves and test it in order to calculate conversion results. Furthermore, 3 samples taken from the same reactor! Idiot, it would be more practical to take one sample and test the samples 3 times rather than taking 3 samples and test them once per sample! Taking samples from reactor is considered as a very dangerous action, due to the highly hazardous butadiene gas monomer! We have to sample it by wearing the respiratory mask!

I am not going to take the sample myself, I do not want to take the risk. I am not the sampling boy, this is not my job. The most I can do is to test the sample. Taking sample? Forget it!!
