Singapore

I will leave Malaysia this morning. For how long I’m still not sure yet. But the dry-docking will take approx. 1 month .Ya Allah tabahkan hati hambamu ini. Permudahkanlah segala urusan hidupku. Jauhi aku dari segala kemaksiatan. SesungguhNya engkau Tuhan sekalian alam.

Amin.

International Marine Contractors Association ( IMCA )

This association provides some code and guidance that we need to follow. Actually all related jobs must follow this rules & guidance from IMCA. There are a few rules & guidance from international organizations related to this field : International Marine Organization (IMO), Association of Diving Contractor (AODC), Det Norsk Veritas (DNV). And the focus more to Air & Sat Spread and Diving Support Vessel (DSV).

Mostly in Petronas, Murphy, and others tender, they will put this IMCA requirement for all equipments and machineries for subsea construction.

Dialog Group Berhad

Before CNY, I got a call from Dialog HR. She was calling me and asking me to come for job interview. Hmm, just like what my lecturer said, there are other offers when you have started your new job. So, I just told her that I will thinking about it later and give an answer after CNY.After making some research about this company; I found that the company is very stable one. Listed in main board of KLSE in trading&services division. Their main business is a service provider/specialist in oil&gas, petrochemical industry.

Here some info ;

After CNY, I have called back her and told that I need to go for dry-docking in Singapore at least 1 month. So, can they wait for 1 month? After she had some discussions about this problem with her manager, and she said that they will wait for me after the dry-docking.

Alhamdullilah, I was thinking that the company really needs me? Why?

The reasons are :

i ) I have applied the job application through their website about October 2008. They still kept my CV until today.
ii ) They can wait until I finished my job in Singapore just for an interview? Why not they just call for other candidates?

Just my 2 cents. Btw, I’m not confirmed yet that will get the offered job. Just feelin really excited right now. InsyaAllah dapatlah.
