4th week of Holiday ~ one-third of my holiday is gone!

Yep 1/3 of my holiday is gone with the wind :(

As usual, some updates from work!

I was doing administrative work for most of the time this week. Weekly minutes finalizing, Photos filtering and organizing, O&M manual tracking database. Yup, Engineers need to do admin work too. Face the truth. You cant survive in this modern world if you dunno how to use excel, words, power point etc.

Other than that, engineers need to have "Negotiating"skills too. A good example here. I was following up with this case where our neighbour (some chemical plant) requested for us to build 2 gates at our compound, so as to faciliate their movement. In short, for the sake of their convenience, they requested us to build 2 gates. I was there at the meeting with representatives from our side and their side. HAHA. In the end, we WON!! We are not compromising. Well, negotiating skill is fully exhibited in this case. Be firm with your stand. Your job is to secure the interest of your company.

Was "fortunate" enough to witness a case of power trip (OHNO>>>this is something really bad). According to contract, PS has a quota to meet for every half an hour time-- this means you must supply certain amount of electricity within that period of time, if not, penalty will be imposed. Thus, obviously, due to power trip, we cant fulfil the requirement. haiz. Everyone in the control room was so tense.

Something light here! Haha. I realize some germans are quite cute! Too bad they are too old for me :( "sightseeing" during work?? Well, i need to get back to working mode. Is it really true that the value of man appreciates with their age while woman depreciates?? This is really not fair.

Updates for French Open! Kutzenova is the woman's champion. Man's singles is on tonight. Federer will win! he should !

** All the pictures on vacation posted by my frenz on FB are making me green with envy. I need my vacation too!**

Signing off.
Adios :)
