Neighbours, Friends and Job Hoping

Its been very busy laletly. My third semester class had already started last Wednesday and a lot of visitors came to my office for many reasons that are not pleasant to think off. Malas nak fikir.

A lot of story I want to write and I just afraid that I do not have the luxury to write everything here. Maybe I just sum up every story in this entry.

To start off, I begin with Hari Keluarga dan Kenduri Akikah for all neighbours along my famous street. The event took place the same date with the camping in PD organized by Alangz and DQ Delinn. Friends of Joe's tag asked us to follow but we are sorry we just can't follow them.

To me, friend still friend and neighbours is something more special then friend. Not only that they are neighbour, they also become our friends and what most important they are our family too. I always stressed to Arc that neighbour is our closest immediate family. We still very lucky because our mom and dad and other siblings live near us. Although our families are near, I still believe neighbours are the one who respond almost immediately to the calamity we faces.

I am glad that my view also being shared by most of the neighbour in my street. One, infact told a story about their experienced during the kenduri welcoming speech. When we were just new 3 years back in our lovely neighbour hood, we hardly known each other very well. Maybe Allah loves us HE showed us where the temporary surau shall be and it happened to be my next door. I am blessed with that so do ourneighbour and we became very close each days pass by. One day, his wife miscarriaged and in grieved he lost idea what shall he do next. Upon getting the news that he just lost a baby, we visited him at the hospital and asked him not to worry because we will make all the preparation . Until today, he did not knows who made everything run so smoothly to bury his son and he just knows that the neighbours did everything for him.

Another story has not been shared during the kenduri but we knew the story. Our front doors neighbour is expected to deliver a baby within a forthnight and with Allah will, she deliver the baby as early as 7.00am. Neither she nor her husband ready to have a baby that morning. When they are not ready and when water bag has leaked and the wife in pain, the husband cannot do anything much except to seek help from the doctor in our street for help. Mind you, she is not a gynae, she just a GP and during that time she is pursuing her study to become specialist for an area that I do not know. But something is great. Knowing that the couple in need her favour she has not mentioned to the couple that she needs to hurry to the hospital because she has examination to conclude her Master Studies that morning. She became an adhoc midwife and recieved the baby. Only after everything is settle then only she told the couple she need to hurry to the hospital to sit examinations. Allah really test her and the spirit of neighbour hood in our street and alhamdulillah my neighbour has been very fantastic to all of us. A lot of great things happened in our neighbour hood and all have been settle in a good spirit.

I know, if I leave this world before Arc, my neighbours will take care of my family well being. That is why I put nieghbour first before everythings else.

And friends of Joe's Tag, you still special in our heart. If you want to have another camping just let us knows because we know that it can be more merrier. I play guitar and we sing around the fire like all the boys scout and girls guide always do. Baru la kelas. Apa la kelas bakar surat khabar terbang hehehehehehehehehehe.

Many people knows that I am looking for a new challenge with my works that I started to scout around for jobs in Oil and Gas Company. What I asked are for Safety and Environmental consultant. I send an application To Shell Global Services thru JobsDB and they have excluded me from the shortlisted name for interview. Bukan rezeki aku la utk ke Shell.

Last Saturday, my faculty invited personel from Petronas to give lecture on Environmental Problem and Challenges in the Exploration and Production of Oil and Gas. I took that oppurtunity to understand their challenges and how they overcome the problem. And most important is I want to understand the workforce they have to overcome the problem. After the lecture, I approached him and asked question about safety and environment in petronas, the problem they face in sustaining the development, how they making sure that when the abondoning the well, the hole will not impair the living things under the deep sea and what not.

I informed him that I am interested to work with Petronas and had my resume banked in, in the dicoverypetronas. He asked what position I asked for and I replied EHS (Environmental Health and Safety) Consultant. He adviced me to correct my application to any of one because he mentioned that he need a specialised people for specialised job. So I am kind of in dilemma because my Master Programme in Environmental Engineering will only finish May next year and I am not sure if they could except me for Environmental Consultant while I am still continuing my study in Env. Eng. If I asked for Safety Consultant, I do not have a green card to be called as competence Safety Consultant. Although I am a section head of Safety, I have the knowledge on safety and management of safety, I am afraid they will not pick me because of that green card. So what position shall I ask for? This has really disturb my mind.

On the other hand I have also applied for a post in ASTRO. I knew the Sr. Manager of that department as we have met several time for power quality issues with Tenaga Nasional. I had send my resume online and now I am planning to send hardcopy directly to him so that he knows someone that he knew is apllying for the job. Other than this, my friend reccomend me to work with Suruhanjaya Pengurusan Air Negara (SPAN). I have worked with GLC and I am not sure whether I want to work with another GLC. Nevertheless I will think deeply within this few days ans come up with a decision.

Basically they are few other stories that I want to put into this entry but I do not have a luxury time to finish all in one entry. I will write again later.

Mean while, have a nice day friends
