Benjamin & Dayang Un - selamat tinggal

Benjamin and Dayang Khairunisa, two civil engineering students from Unimas, were here since May 2010. They completed their industrial training with us on 9th July 2010. We sincerely hope that they had manaaged to pick up some site experiences under the mentorship of Rina. With best of luck for their future undertakings - from all of us @BDC.

Spring Solstice Babies and more

The last gathering we had was in early spring...;p spring left and now summer is here. That is if we are in the northern hemisphere. Since we are just below the khatulistiwa, we had rain that Friday and sunshine too!

So a big cake for a large group of colleagues celebrating their birthdays, mostly belated but the happy birthday to you was sung as if today is the day that a wish should hold true... and who blew the candles? (The first to email me with the correct answer shall get a gift - not an umbrella though.)

From left to right:> Ahmad Mahmud, John Panil, Hairol, Seberi, Chiam, Hamdan, Siti Zubaidah, Liang & Hajah Zaliha.

Before our merry makings, we sung our National and State Anthem with pride and chaotic pitches; followed by the recitation of our Rukunegara. This time round, we had a charming trainee, Benjamin Donald, leading us at the rostrum.

Hail to the kid!

Salam satu Malaysia;

Selamat Ari Gawai, Gayu Guru Gerai Nyamai;

Keep It Real!

Be Real, Be Appreciative, Be Interested & Be Nice.

Almost the ending of the Acting General Manager, Ir Dr John Panil, speech, Destination - Work rang through the air. Unfortunately the four Bees didn't stung easy remembrance. Referring back, it is about focusing on people - the staffs first, instead of the usual customers come first. The idea is - when the staffs are happy, the customers will be happy. The performance numbers will soar. If only eagles can chew.

Can they?

Can they be trusted? Are you willing to be trusted? Trusted with responsibilities without cutting corners here and there? Without getting the trustee worried about missing efforts, missing agendas and missing pages of a one-page report.

Be Real, Be Appreciative, Be Interested & Be Nice.

Girls just wanna have fun. ~ Cyndi Lauper

Boys do too. Do work as if you are having fun. Laughing along while your hands continue working with focus and trust. Walk the talk. Don't just talk or don't just walk. Duhhh.

BUT most important of all, everybody has to be in the same boat. No classification of caste. No clicking, no grouping, cause its all about working as one and not against each other, pointing at others. And it has to start with the top. With the topmost people participating. It only works if everybody is into it.

For a start, everybody SMILE!!!

If you break the mirror, you would get the 7 years curse. Breaking the knife is hopefully not tied to any by-laws of the unsaid world. ~grin~

Our January's babies had gone down-under, making this General Assembly the first birthday's celebrations for the year. A combined celebration for those born in February and March.

Happy Birthday to you and you and you....


NOTE:

Recitation of the Rukunegara was lead by Saodah Deni in January and Rabiatuladawwiyah Sajali, the semi-new kid on the block, during the last assembly.
