A little bit about my current project.....

We have been awarded a contract to supply 7 offshore storage tanks, various sizes. Out of 7, 2 tanks are big of which we have to transport them by barge. Due to that, we cannot fabricate them at our own site in Shah Alam and has to opt for any yard close to any port around Malaysia. After all the tendering processes, a company located in PKFZ has been awarded by us for fabrication scope. Fabrication were then commenced officially sometime in Oct 2010 after AFC drwgs issued and materials arrived there.

After 3 months of fabrication, all tanks are considered ready for Full Water Test. We have experience difficulties in handling the fabricator performance in all aspect. Most of the headache that we are having is quality of the work i.e. distortion. This distortion issue has caused the delivery date is expected to delay by 1 month due to repair work.

As of now, we are still repairing the tank..... Hope we can deliver it after Chinese New Year.

Maybe I will share about the distortion in future...

HMMMMM.... CAN THIS BE APPLIED IN REALITY?

According to some psychiatrists there’s a good and a bad time to ask for a raise, because your boss has a weekly cycle of moods.

o Take Monday to ask for a vacation. Having just enjoyed his or her weekend, your boss will be in a better mood to grant you some time off.

o Tuesday is the day for bad news. Break it gently. Tuesday gives your boss the rest of the week you clean up your mess.

o The day to ask for a raise? Wednesdays. This survey says managers told them they felt most charitable on Wednesdays than any other… you’ll get lots of “yes” answers on this day.

o Thursday is the day to present your boss with your ideas… they’re more open minded.

o Friday is the day to ask for favors… it’s after all Friday, and bosses are looking forward to the weekend too!
