C&S Engineer as career path

Pengie — Sat, 02 Dec 2023 13:57:20 +0800

Hihi to anyone currently in C&S consulting firm,

How is your work so far?
Do you have any work-life balance throughout the time you're working?
Do you still have the passion to strive?
Do you enjoy?

For context, I have worked for almost 3 years under structural consulting firm and I personally enjoy it for several reasons, for
- Solving technical things and watching things go live in my eyes makes me proud
- I really like to study and apply them on actual things. Study will never end

Up till recent months ago, I felt so burnt out from my work, had to work overtime for the clients deadline. I also notice that despite how hard I work, my result is still subpar.. i believe the burnt out really affected me mentally..

I did consider to change my job to a field completely unrelated to my current one. I could also go for civil instead, But.. I still love structural engineering and I don't want to give up. Have been giving myself breaks during weekend and after-work, like having me time relaxing at home with my hobbies and a mini field trip to the shopping mall.

Just wanna know your work experience up until now.

"Passion is a lie", this phrase is an grey statement. Would like to hear your POV on this one

Dependent lost vaccination cert

Pengie — Thu, 16 Sep 2021 22:01:02 +0800

My grandmother does not have her own smartphone to scan Mysejahtera, hence it has always been me who would scan on her behalf.

Her data as the dependent on my Mysejahtera account is wiped out suddenly, and the physical certificate card is lost as well.

May I know if anyone has encountered this issue before? Is going back to the same PPV to request another card again a good choice?

Thank you

EDIT: Called the helpdesk and they still have her info. I got her info back after resetting / updating app, thank you!

recommend tuna chunks can with oilive oil

Pengie — Wed, 26 May 2021 18:19:36 +0800

hi sifus

i had gotten this tuna can with vegetable oil or olive oil (i dont remember) from intern bossku few years back. I wish to buy again, but the thing is - i forgot the brand already

I recall it is originated from other country (quite famous? but i forgot), not our local brand like ayam brand. I ate almost all brands already, but this oversea tuna can is still the best.. too bad i forgot the brand already. tried to search on shopee also, but cannot find

Can you all recommend to me any good tuna chunks with vegetable oil/olive oil etc? thank you... T_T

EDIT: I found what I have always wanted!! Sold out though, at least i know the brand now

Havent heard from HR, should I be concerned?

Pengie — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 20:54:24 +0800

TLDR:
-Few months ago, I was offered and signed a conditional offer letter by a big firm due to my positive internship performance (I was in my last semester for degree). The conditional offer will be exercised as long as the minimum requirements for my final results are met, then he will proceed to furnish the details/body checkup etc.

-After signing it, there were a few times I emailed the HR PIC some questions and he will usually respond to my enquires via email really quick. He is a really responsible person from how I deal with him through email.

-On July 2020 after receiving my results (requirements for conditional offer met), I proceeded to email the HR PIC my transcript.

-It has already been 1 month since I submitted my results transcript, but still I do not hear anything from him.

-Followed up 2 times via email and 1 phone call but still to no avail. For the phone call (which was done 8 days ago), the HR PIC that I was looking for was out for an event so his colleague recorded down my details to pass him the message. (He was not on leave)

-At this point I'm not sure if I should continue follow up because I don't want to sound annoying in case if the HR is really busy.

Can anyone (preferably working as HR) advise on this please? I am worried because it is quite unusual for him to not respond , could my conditional offer be withdrawn? This will be my first job as a fresh graduate, I am really excited and looking forward to start the job.

Engineering vs Medical Health

Pengie — Fri, 17 Jun 2016 21:44:35 +0800

I am asking this on behalf of my friend. She is currently having Foundation and soon will be pursuing her Civil Engineering degree course in UTP. (Self-sponsored)

Last month, she received a call from SPA, knowing that she is offered for the SPA program. SPA program sponsors her to study for Diploma in Medical Assistant (subjects are all in Malay), also gives allowance every month. But, she has to work for the government for 4 years.

If this was in your shoes, which would you choose for? Please give me enlightment about this

HTC One X

Pengie — Wed, 24 Jun 2015 21:10:48 +0800

At first, my HTC One X phone reset and stuck at the HTC quietly brilliant screen for a long time, also restarted every time I used some apps (Whatsapp and such). Factory reset and reboot wouldn't work. From what I knew from asking via online service at HTC website, the reason why was that it was a software issue.

So.. I changed to UN12/ Lollipop ROM on my phone few hrs ago.. It was successful, but the message 'Unfortunately, System UI has been stopped' kept popping up on screen ( factory reset, reboot still didn't work...)

Is my phone data corrupted?? Is there anything I can do for now?? need help from the sifus
