OGA 2007

Got a text from an offshore dude, “Hey go check out the OGA 2007 la dude”

I jump straight to shower and went straight to KLCC and yup there it is the Oil & Gas Exhibition all the major player in the region was there to showcase their product and services.

I was like a kid in wonderland, looking around in wonders.. wow here.. wow there.. all alone getting excited, looking at such a big information bank with all the brochure, pamphlets company profiles and the best part is getting to meet one on one with those IN the industry and asking more questions and getting a first hand answers from them. Its like taking a small kid into a candy store.

Job Hunting

Went for a weekend gateway diving trip with the big boys after the philippines trip. Ok was a good start even though most was against it.. wasting time going lah.. wasting money lah.. and all that crap lah..

Well I did the course then to hell with it.. gua nyer sen maa apahal lu org!

Attending the course was to find out more about the industry that I’m getting myself into. Nobody gonna tell me nothing about this industry and hell no one I know is in the industry so what else then, pay to get more info then. No walhala.

Updating the CV and streamlining it to industry spec, making it more attractive for future employer.

Following up with phone calls. making appointments to meet up with them. Calling both local and abroad companies. Establishing contacts, asking questions, asking the right questions, looking for answers, looking for the right answers and listening to suggestion and tips on how to grab the part. Amazing what kinda information you will get when you ask lotsa people questions. Going for interviews, listening to old boys in the industry how they got them selves into this industry and work their way up.

Got some really negative remarks and lotsa positive ones too.. manage to balance up all that and turn it all to a positive ones.. hey its all about perception ain’t it?
