When I stepped in this Sibu town, I knew it, that it is gonna be tough.
When my boss assigned a task for me to do, I've actually aimed to complete the task with confident. I need to show to everybody that I can.
Well, ISO isn't an easy job anyway. It's very fussy and lots of thing need to do. When I first stepped into the site, the office... I saw dark, punishment and torture. I didn't know what did i do until I got this job. I didn't know why I accepted this job. Maybe just because I was jobless in November last year that I accepted this job immediately. Afterall I never go for interview, the boss contacted me and asked me to join them.
I got a little uneasy as the job that I need to do is doing QAQC/ISO which I did during my 6 months practical training in Bintulu. This time is worst coz I was not allow to do inspection or comment anything on their work. RM84million project! Well, alright I won't complain or give any comment.
I am a civil engineer. What the heck am I doing management stuff for this big project? What a shame.
"You just need to implement the Project Quality Plan"
Alright, that was boring. I was not allow to do inspection, meaning I can't learning anything.
"Try to go to the site if you are free. You can't learn anything by sitting in the office", the Resident Engineer from the Ranhill told me. What can I do? I was only asked to sit in the office and do the filing, checking and making sure that they use the correct inspection form.
"Loey, when you are free you can go to the site and learn something from it. Maybe you will have more knowledge and experience in our next project", one day my boss called me.
I put on my safety helmet and safety boot, straight to the 'to-be-completed' two blocks of 8 storeys building and others big building at the site and kept taking photos. I went to KL to buy a new camera just to take a better photo. I realized that I got that feeling... That kind of feeling that I like this job, on site job, more than sitting in the office.
ISO audit was a month from now. I stayed in the office doing my ISO stuff. I missed the site. I didnt managed to take pictures and it is hard for me to do site daily records. I had to ask for the info from my colleagues. So pathetic.

I got that kind of feeling that I've done everything I can for my boss and for the company. Maybe they didn't even know that I suffered a lot working in Sibu but still, I tried and not giving up. All colleagues who were once trying to ignore me (even we work as a team and in the same office) now are my good friends. Those feeling are wonderful.
My superior: Loey, we've completed the audit. Just wanna let you know an issue that you need to highlight. Just one only related to the monthly report..bla, bla...bla....
Me: (Small matter) Ok, ok... So, any NCR issued?
My superior: No, no...
Me: That's mean we passed.
My superior: Yes. So, thats all. Thank you arrr...
Me: It's ok.
That feeling...
