Time's up in Sahabat, Lahad Datu

4 months I'm back now? Man, I miss London so much, especially Audrey. I guess I have to make do with what I have and work towards achieving my goals.

It has been a fulfilling 2 months here in Sahabat Oil Products. I believe I've learnt almost everything that I should - of course, one can never stop learning.

With a week left, I will hopefully make full use of my time here. Completing proposals I am making, learning more about a few things I left out (Boilers and polymorphs) before moving on to my next role in the marketing department.

At least now, I know what refining and fractionation of palm oil is all about. More importantly, I know what the differences of these raw materials and products are about. An achievement (self praise is no praise) that I'm proud of is that I have now understand my bosses words during assemblies - yes we have assemblies with the staffs, 80-90% of it.

In my first day, i barely understood what he was saying, nevermind the language but I just had no clue what he was saying. So, after 8 weeks, I'm glad I know what he is saying and proposing !!

I totally understand what you mean about not understanding your boss! When I first started placement I couldn't understand what they were talking about in morning meetings and by the end I knew what they were saying too, it's a great feeling isn't it =)

A special thank you to my daddy : )

This song sang by Luther Vandross , the Grammy winning song of the year in 2004, touched me so much I almost ( or I did ) shed a few tears for my beloved daddy. Just like how he likes to call me his beloved youngest son. No, I may not want to dance with my daddy : p but I feel so much like hugging him now. I owe so much to him. This song may not mean as much to others but to me, it may me feel so much for my dad, my dad is the greatest : ) I often go around telling my friends how cool he is, he's the 'cool dad'. Yes he is, he has always showered me with love, tolerated me and teaching me the right and wrongs in life. I think I should not be too emotional in this post by I love this song so much and it has made me realise how much I much appreciate my love ones, not just my dad, everyone around me that cares for me. I will not go around telling others how you should love your dad but I am sure somehow or some way, he has taught, guide and love you in a way he thinks is best
