A few problems, but one prevalent item was about another sub-con in our Project.
Last June, the Korean Main Con, and I, together with sub-cons of other trade, discussed about "Roof Coordination", how to coordinate our equipment setting out with our pipework route.
We submitted our drawings, and I had to re-do the drawings myself, to suit the site conditions.
Apparently, a full coordinated drawing was made, and from there, equipment plinths were constructed by the Main Con.
What happened this week was, one of the sub-con changed their pipe routing, and proceed their "new" pipework routing.
The pipework run exactly on top of my equipment's plinth. Not only that, their items were scattered all over the Roof floor, hence our team could not get our pump installed.
Last Thursday, I didn't went into full rage because previously I worked as an engineer in a HVAC contractor company. I knew the reason of them doing it. But deep inside, I feel wronged.
The Main-Con didn't take any action. Usually NCR (Non-compliance report) is issued, but here, they seem not to care.
"It's your own business. Not our problem. Go and discuss with that sub-con".
I informed my boss that Thursday of what happened and he instructed me to get it cleared.
Then, that evening, a Whatsapp Group was made by that sub-con, and discussions were made as if Main-Con had agreed the relocation.
I feel raged and wronged, but, since there were Clients, bosses, Consultants, and my own boss is in the Whatsapp Group, I had no choice but to tell them "we need time to look at it, send your Cad file so I can check".
The Saturday discussion with my boss, was mind-opening.
I told Boss, I had few pictures taken, and I will send a Memo to the Main Con saying about obstruction of our installation.
My boss plainly screwed me "You don't go around making enemies at site, ok?"
I was taken aback.
He lets me cool down, then explained to me about construction is basically a Business in nature.
And in Business, you don't simply screw off with other Business. You have to trade in, and you have to consider about the future. We might need other people's help.
In this problem, even though I was right, but business-wise, I have to let go my emotions and deal the issue strictly technical-wise.
We have to trade in, and to make sure everybody wins at the end.
PETALING JAYA: A
construction worker was killed while three were injured in the collapsed
crane incident at Jalan Damansara, here today. Fire and Rescue
Department received a report at approximately 4.50pm and arrived at the
scene 20 minutes later.
The victim is known as Li Ji Yia, 50
while those injured were of Myanmar and Chinese nationals which have yet
to be ascertained.
Muhammad Firdaus said the 25-member rescue squad from Taman Tun Dr
Ismail, Sri Hartamas and Hang Tuah fire stations had to take about two
hours to retrieve Li's body as it was trapped between the platform the
victim was using and the overturned crane.
This week, while Muslim Malays Malaysians were busy talking on social media about open breast-feeding, Be-Like-Rashid memes, and making noises and opinions about issues that they own selves unable to change,
I'm grieving by what happened some days ago. Someone lost his life while trying to earn money for his family.
I work in construction line.
Not just the bloody pressure and work shits, you know that somebody did lose his life on this line. It could be me, who knows?

And then Jakarta bombing happens on Thursday.
I was in a meeting when one of the Architects, suddenly informs all about the Jakarta attack during the meeting break.
----
I remember having Google Hangout chatting with one of the famous bloggers in Malaysia.
I asked him a question.
"Why there's more social ills in Malays society compared to Chinese, when, the Chinese Amois wore more sexy clothes, Chinese drink and gamble but Muslims Malays do not, why is that?"
He gave his reasons, which I wouldn't share here.
One question lingers within my head then.
"This week, a non-muslim in Malaysia died while working, while some Muslims in Indonesia died by killing policemen in public. How come?"
something that I learnt during my University days, when I join UM guys Tabligh 1 days and 3 days outing,
You will feel religion to be sincere if you do it for yourself.
People joining Tabligh knew this.
The Tabligh preaching is not to change the world, but to change your own innerself.
You go preach from house to house, the reasoning is not to change others, but more towards changing yourself.
Giving effort and hardship, will somehow change you from within.
It's never about changing other people.
the idea is despite the intensive preaching, those Quraisy who are close to the Prophet didn't embrace the religion, but people like Salman came from outright Persia just to learn the religion.
And so.
This is my personal opinion and idea.
Just change your self to be better, and you will find the world to be different.
And to the question I ask to the famous blogger,
I found the answer straight within my heart.
We Malays focus too much changing others, but we didn't work much to change ourselves.

in case there's something here which can lead you to find peace within yourself.
This is about someone I knew some long time ago.
This was the person who introduced me to New Order.
and a lot of musical stuff, during University days.
Then as years passed by, we went our separate ways.
Few years back, I was invited to make a Facebook account.
I met this fella online.
Then I knew, this fella had changed.
This fella no longer spoke to me.
From what I understood, this fella went religion-alised.
Well, we all are. In each of our different unique state suited to us.
But I found out, this fella viewed me as a representation of the hedonistic corrupt world of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, as he trenched himself back to the original unfazed Islamic living at one of the northern states in Malaysia.
I send an invitation to my upcoming wedding, but there's no reply or answer.
I saw his Facebook, there's full of Islamic debates on theology, philosophy.
I remembered he kinda hated me for liking the Perlis Mufti Dr Mohd Asri Zainal Abidin, since he was pro-Zamihan group.
I just like this Dr Maza who preached about doing night Tahajjud prayers, so that you will have some sort of spriritual sustenance while working on a high pressure construction job and screwed life.
I am no longer friends with this fella on Facebook, and somehow it shaped my philosophy on Facebook as below-
yeah again I re-post this track because I like it.
And I think this song made this week's Monday morning a little bit calm.
And listening to this with today's evening rain is calming.
And I keep reminding myself today, despite all my best effort, there'll be "limitations" (Daayre) so just pray for the best.
Notes :
1. I'm waiting for new Megadeth's album Dystopia coming out this month 2016.
2. Photos above are New Order 's album covers. Source : Wikipedia
3. Chill out mate. This internet social media is nothing. Be happy and feel the fun of doing things you like.
If you're too focused on thinking about comments and debates, you'll be like Axl Guns N Roses who spent too much time about discussion rather than having the album Chinese Democracy done.
Be cool.
4. I appreciate good comments I received from Google Plus. Thanks for brightening up my day. Its those critique that is discouraging in nature that I'm not fond with.
5. My English is not good. But one thing good about not speaking in your mother tongue is that it makes you think harder, & in every hard effort, small seeds of success is grown.
daayra is an Urdu word which means circle. At the same time it can also mean limit or limitation. daayre is the plural for daayra, and hence can mean circles, limits or limitations. Here in the song daayre from the film Dilwale, it’s used as limitations.
Why do they limit the love of hearts, limitations, ah, these limitations..
why have they got these distances between us, limitations, ah, these limitations..
all those glass dreams of ours were fragile, they started breaking at the mere touch.. those, whose togetherness I had asked for in prayers, those companions are getting lost.. it doesn’t seem right to die, nor am I able to live.. limitations, ah, these limitations..
why have they got these distances between us,
limitations, ah, these limitations.. - See more at:

Ok below is the tab i figured out a while just now.
Just for fun and romantic sake.
Since i played metal stuff most of the time, so this acoustic guitar I use for figuring this out is a one-step down tuning.
This is the bloody tab which i figured, quite easy.
If you have the whole song from Arjun Singh, it'll have a longer version than above.
but I'm too lazy to type it out.
Ok Good nite all. I consider a job well done tonight.

3-legged Kitten Adopted by 2-year-old Amputee Share a Special Connection
A
three-legged kitten was adopted by a family with a 2-year-old girl,
Scarlette, who is also an amputee herself. When they first met, they
connected as if they understood each other. Scarlette is a very brave
little girl who has beat a rare form of cancer though her left arm was
left amputated. She absolutely adores cats. “We wanted a little kitten
to have her grow up with, so she has something that’s just like her,”
Simone Tipton told Love Meow. They spent half a year looking for a
three-legged kitty to join their family and just before Christmas they
found her!
