Training and Certification Requirement in O&G : QA / QC Sectorial

Memandangkan sekarang ni, agak terhad dana (fund) yang boleh kita perolehi dari pihak kerajaan, maka saya lakarkan disini TYPICAL PRICING untuk Training & Certification bagi sector QA / QC industri O&G. Bagi yang bercadang untuk menceburi bidang inspection yang tertentu, maka boleh buat perancangan kewangan yang mana satu untuk dibuat pelaburan kerjaya. Ianya satu jumlah yang agak signifikan jika ianya memerlukan SELF-SPONSORSHIP.

Setiap tahap (Level) mempunyai kelebihan dan tahap kongkongan yang ditetapkan oleh certification scheme yang diperolehi. Sebagai contoh, kelayakkan NDE personnel yang diperolehi (tidak termasuk kelayakkan / pengalaman sampingan lain yang diperolehi) tidak melayakkan mereka untuk REVIEW / APPROVE sebarang DRAWING / DESIGN, Repair Procedure, Joint Design etc. Dalam masa yang sama, tanggungjawab utama mereka terhadap peralatan yang diperiksa juga agak ringan. Ini akan ditanggung oleh API Inspector pula yang mana keputusan akan dibuat untuk peralatan tersebut.

Keys to Building Networks Over Time

The purpose of professional networking is to gain information, increase your visibility in your field, and establish personal connections that will help you advance in your career. No matter how much you love your job, you should always be looking for ways to expand your networks because, ideally, your contacts will follow you from position to position. A strong network allows you to get advice from trusted sources, to keep your professional knowledge current, to find career opportunities, and to support the careers of others.

Look for Contacts Everywhere

Your network should have lots of variety; individuals from different companies, career levels, and professions can add a range of perspectives. Keeping in touch with your college friends who might be in different companies and industries is a great way to populate your network. Joining a professional association in your field and regularly attending its events is also a smart idea. Finally, investigate your company’s sponsored programs; many organizations provide opportunities for individuals to network within the company. Training events, visits from management, guest speakers, or various types of interest-based events can yield the same type of contacts as an external event.

Take One Step at a Time

Know that it takes time to authentically populate your network. But also know that each new contact is a step in the right direction. When I first got into educating people on twentysomething workplace issues, it was startling how helpful I found just one meeting of the Chicago chapter of the American Society for Training and Development. I walked out of the event with business cards for several potential clients and mentors. My network increased after only one event.

Be Strategic

Before going to such an event, think about what you hope to get out of attending. Is it general knowledge? Is it a new contact in your field? Or perhaps you are looking for someone to provide input on one of your projects? Understand who the speakers will be at the event and how you might contact them or access their materials in advance of or after the event. Also, learn what other companies and individuals might be at the event. Prepare a few questions that you want to explore, and set a goal to answer them at the event. For example, if you want to do an informational interview—a thirty-minute conversation with an expert on a new development in your field—your goal may be to find someone at the event with that type of expertise.

Be Personable

Many experts are willing to speak and share their knowledge, but some may not be as willing. Don’t become discouraged. It may take a few attempts at building your network to make a personal connection. Once you have received an initial response and are moving forward with an interaction—whether it’s in person or via e-mail or phone—be friendly, respectful, and conscious of the contact’s time constraints. Confirm your contact’s available time and the topic you want to cover. If you have the opportunity to sit down with a contact in person, remember to make eye contact, smile, shake hands firmly, and exchange business cards. Ask thoughtful questions and listen carefully to the answers.

Follow Up and Return the Favor

If you are meeting over coffee or a meal, when the check comes, simply say to your contact, “I invited you here today, so this is my treat.” This, combined with a handwritten thank-you note, will make the best possible impression and leave the door open for future follow-up—which you should do, of course! If your contact gave you any advice or suggested a course of action, touch base every few months with an update on your progress. And since effective networking always involves give and take, think about ways you can help your contact in return.

Attitude Towards Work

Our life today is the result of our attitudes and choices in the past. Our life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choices today!

This is a story of an elderly carpenter who had been working for a contractor for many many years. He had built many beautiful houses but now as he was getting old, he wanted to retire and lead a leisurely life with his family. So, he goes to the contractor and tells him about his plan of retiring. The contractor feels sad at the prospect of losing a good worker but agrees to the plan because the carpenter had indeed become too fragile for the tough building work. But as a last request, he asks the old carpenter to construct just one last house.

The old man agrees and starts working but his heart was not in his work any more. He had lost the motivation towards work. So, he resorted to shoddy workmanship and constructed the house half-hearted. After the house was built, the contractor handed over the front door keys to the carpenter and said, This is your new house. My gift to you. The carpenter was shocked and upset. Had he known that he was building his own house, he would have done a better job! Now, he would have to live in the house, which is not worth staying.

Think of ourself as the carpenter. We work hard every day but are we giving our best? We put our least to the work we don’t like or do not have interest in. Later, we get shocked at the situation we have created for ourselves and try to figure out why we didn’t do it differently.

Enjoy our tasks and carry on our responsibilities with pleasure and not with pain. Life is a DIY project. Do our job enthusiastically and with devotion, a positive output and a pleasing life will certainly be on our way.

TEN Great Ways To Cruch CREATIVITY

Leaders have more power than they realize. They can patiently create a climate of creativity or they can crush it in a series of subtle comments and gestures. Their actions send powerful signals. Their responses to suggestions and ideas are deciphered by staff as encouragement or rejection. If you want to crush creativity in your organization and eliminate all the unnecessary bother of innovation then here are ten steps that are guaranteed to succeed.


1. Criticize

When you hear a new idea criticize it. Show how smart you are by pointing out some of the weaknesses and flaws which will hold it back. The more experienced you are, the easier it is to find fault with other people’s ideas. Decca Records turned down the Beatles, IBM rejected the photocopying idea which launched Xerox, DEC turned down the spreadsheet and various major publishers turned down the first Harry Potter novel. The same thing is happening in most organizations today. New ideas tend to be partly-formed so it is easy to reject them as ‘bad’. They diverge from the narrow focus that we have for the business so we discard them. Furthermore, every time somebody comes to you with an idea which you criticize, it discourages the person from wasting your time with more suggestions. It sends a message that new ideas are not welcome and that anyone who volunteers them is risking criticism or ridicule. This is a sure fire way to crush the creative spirit in your staff.


2. Ban Brainstorms

Treat brainstorming as old-fashioned and passé. All that brainstorms do is throw up lots of new ideas that then have to be rejected. If your organization is not holding frequent brainstorm sessions to find creative solutions then you are not wasting time on new ideas. Instead you are sending a message to staff that their input is not required. If people insist on brainstorm meetings then make them long, rambling and unfocused with lots of criticism of radical ideas.


3. Hoard Problems

The CEO and senior team should shoulder the responsibility for solving all the company’s major problems. Strategic issues are too complicated and high-level for the ordinary staff. After all, if people at the grass-roots knew the strategic challenges the organization faces then they would feel insecure and threatened. Don’t involve staff in serious issues, don’t tell them the big picture and above all don’t challenge them to come up with solutions.


4. Focus On Efficiency NOT Innovation

Focus solely on making the current business model work better. If we concentrate on making the current system work better then we will not waste time on looking for different systems. The current business model is the one that you helped develop and it is obviously the best one for the business. After all, if the makers of horse drawn carriages had improved quality they could have stopped automobiles taking their markets. The same principle applied with makers of slide rules, LP records, typewriters and gas lights.


5. Overwork

Establish a culture of long hours and hard work. Encourage the belief that hard work alone will solve the problem. We do not need to find a different way of solving a problem – rather we must just work harder at the old way of doing things. Make sure that the working day has no time for learning, fun, lateral thinking, wild ideas or testing of new initiatives.


6. Adhere To The Plan

Plan in great detail and then do not deviate from the plan regardless of circumstances. ‘We cannot try that idea because it is not in the plan and we have no budget for it.’ Keep to the vision that was in the plan and ignore fads like market changes and customer fashions – they will pass.


7. Punish Mistakes

If someone tries an entrepreneurial idea that fails then blame and retribution must follow. Reward success and punish failure. That way we will reinforce the existing way of doing things and discourage dangerous experiments.


8. Don’t Look Outside

We understand our business better than outsiders. After all we have been working in it for years. Other industries are fundamentally different and just because something works there does not mean it will work here. Consultants are generally over-priced and tell you things you could have figured out anyway. We need to find the solutions inside the business by working harder.


9. Promote People Like You From Within

Promoting from within is a good sign. It helps retain people and they can see a reward for loyalty and hard work. It means we don’t get polluted with heretical ideas from outside. Also if the CEO promotes people like him then he can achieve consistency and succession. It is best to find managers who agree with the CEO and praise him for his acumen and foresight.


10. Don’t Waste Money On Training

Talent cannot be taught. It is it a rare thing possessed by a handful of gifted individuals. So why waste money trying to turn ducks into swans? Hire our kind of people and let them learn our system. Work them hard, keep them focused on our business model and do not allow them to fool around with crazy experiments. Workshops, budgets and time allocated to creativity and innovation are all wasteful extravagances. We know what we need to succeed so let’s just get on with it.

6 Reasons Why it Makes Sense to Arrive Early

Why bother showing up early when you can blame any number of things for “making” you late? There’s traffic, a convenient ally when you need her. A distant cousin to traffic would be a freeway accident, which of course creates traffic. Then there’s the blatantly obvious excuse of sleeping through the alarm which causes you to get on the freeway late and immerse yourself in- you guessed it- traffic. All of these are convenient excuses for lateness but there’s a flip side- being early is way cooler.

1. When you’re early you get the best seat. Just like when you get to a movie theatre 10 minutes before the show begins, seat selection is the name of the game. If it’s a meeting, get some distance from whomever will be running the show. If it’s a presentation, get a spot that will not cause you to visit the chiropractor due to the way you had to twist your body to see the PowerPoint presentation. When you’re early, you get to choose the ideal location for optimal learning and interaction with your peers.
2. When you’re early you can prepare your gear. Ever see a person squirm to find their cell phone as it embarrassingly goes off during a meeting? If they had arrived early… you get the point. Arriving early affords you the chance to put your laptop in “go” mode and your cell phone in vibrate mode. Your paper and pen are just where you want them to be and you’re ready to roll.
3. When you’re early you can hear the boss complain about the guy who is running late- at least he’s not complaining about you! I’ve been in many meetings where the boss looks to us and says, “Anyone know where Joe is? He does know that the meeting is right now, doesn’t he?”
4. When you’re early you can look over the agenda. If your meeting planner didn’t mail you one in advance, arriving early lets you peruse what’s on the horizon and any mental notes that pop into your head can be written down as others are arriving. Sure, there’s an agenda prepared for you but arriving early lets you think about what you want to cover in the meeting.
5. When you’re early you can fix your coffee. I like coffee with my creamer so arriving early lets me prepare things the way I want, rather than a bland cup of joe the way someone else wants. It’s a small thing but it saves you time in the long run. If you arrive late, you’ll want to get something to eat or drink but will feel guilty because you’ve already make a scene by being tardy. This will occupy about 5-10 minutes of your time and who wants to waste more time by worrying about something as small as caffeine?
6. When you’re early you are just plain cooler. Just like being organized, early folks have their ducks in a row and know what they’re about. They might be paranoid about being late or they might be neurotic about the clock, but let’s face it- early people gain a huge advantage because they are attentive to the smallest of things.

Things You Can Do For Daily Stress Relief

If the stress in your life is out of control, here are some simple stress relief methods you can implement into your life to improve your day.

• Brighten up your home – If you are tired of the rooms in your home, have you ever considered giving them a mini makeover? Rearranging furniture, changing your décor, or giving the walls a fresh coat of paint will give you something new to look at. Redecorating allows you to focus your mind on a project separate from stressful issue, and creativity does wonders for your self-esteem.

• Slow down and enjoy your meals – Try not to skip or gobble down meals. This can not only lead to a serious case of indigestion, it also slows down the digestion process which can lead to other unpleasant conditions such as constipation. Take the time to sit down and enjoy regular meals during the day.
  

• Enjoy the outdoors – Make the effort to go outside and fill your lungs with fresh air. Take a nice walk and enjoy the scenery and sounds of the outside world. This is often a fantastic way to clear your mind and organize your thoughts.

• Breath and stretch – Take the time to stretch your body at different points during the day, and remember to breathe deeply every once in a while. This helps to release tension from your body and will keep you more alert and less irritable.

• Take breaks – Everyone needs breaks. Don’t skip them to get a head start on other work. Take this time to relax and do something you enjoy. Treat yourself to warm baths, a cup of hot tea or a massage.

• Wear comfortable clothing – Whenever you can, wear clothing that is loose fitting and soft. Wear comfortable shoes that allow your feet to move and breathe.

• Express and embrace your feelings – Don’t bottle up your emotions. You should experience emotions regardless if they are negative or positive. You should also express the way you feel to others, and find ways to release pent up emotions. Great methods include singing and writing.

• Make time for the activities you enjoy – Do you have a hobby you really enjoy (IE. reading, knitting, dancing, swimming, sports, etc.)? When you engage in activities you like, you are comfortable and happy.

• Take care of your body - Eat well, exercise, stay well hydrated, and be sure to get a good night sleep.

Try using a combination of different stress relief methods and avoid using only one. The more ways you can implement relaxation, enjoyment and positive thinking into your lifestyle, the less stress will have a hold on your life.

Common Traits of Successful Relationships

All great relationships are built on a solid foundation of friendship. This applies to any meaningful relationship, whether it be with your spouse, child, parent, friend or business associate. Lasting and Successful relationships are not difficult to attain if we can emulate the following traits:

Honesty. This trait has always been there & always will. It is crucial to be honest in our relationship right from the start.

Trust. Honesty will gain trust. This again is important if we want to be that someone who can be relied on for anything.

Respect. We all want to be respected. This can only be earned through our actions and deeds.

Communication. Having an open line of communication is essential in any relationship. With technology such as e-mail and SMS (Short Messaging Service), there is no excuse for not keeping in touch.

Listening. The art of listening can establish stronger relationships. Be empathetic and understanding.

Showing Appreciation. Say "Thank you" as often as required. Send a note, and e-mail or SMS. A simple gesture like that can mean a lot for the recipient.

Admitting Your Mistake. Saying "I'm sorry" or "I was wrong" makes us the bigger person.

Laughter. Adding humor and laughter to all our relationships will build a bond of happiness.

Kindness. Go that Extra mile! Acts of kindness are never wasted.

Forgiveness. Remember, Everyday is a New Day. Do not hold grudges for things that have happened in the past, instead, focus on the Future.

All relationships need time to grow & flourish, it is up to us to decide how high we want them to grow. Time spent building relationships should not be considered a sacrifice. It is an investment that rewards us with lasting friendships, which money cannot buy.

TIME

Imagine there is a bank which credits your account each morning with RM86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day, allows you to keep no cash balance, and every evening cancels whatever part of the amount you had failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course!

Well, everyone has such a bank. Its name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever part of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against the -tomorrow-. You must live in the present on today's deposits.

Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success! The clock is running.

Make the most of today... and remember... time waits for no one.

Imagination Is More Powerful Than Knowledge

Perhaps Einstein said it best: "Imagination is more powerful than knowledge." Time and again it's been proven that our brains cannot tell the difference between something we vividly imagine and something we actually experience.

Once we understand this, it can transform our life. For example, many people are afraid to try something just because they've never done it before. Yet the very foundation of leaders' success is that, despite past experiences to the contrary, they repeatedly imagine obtaining their desired results. In this way they forge the sense of certainty that guides them to tap into their true potential.

Do we have a goal that excites us but involves doing something we've never done before? When would now be a good time to start imagining ourself succeeding?

Stop Waiting

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice holiday, when we retire.

The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now.

Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. If you keep waiting, there will be no way to happiness. So, treasure every moment that you have and...

Stop Waiting!!!

The Key

There is a stiff steel padlock hanging on the door latch. A strong iron rod is trying very hard to break it open but failed. Then suddenly come a tiny little key, with ease... and with its skinny little body, it has open the stiff steel padlock with just a light twist. The iron rod is curious and ask, "how could it possible that a big strong rod like me can't force open the padlock and with just a soft twist your tiny little key can easily open this stiff padlock??" The key replied, "because I have a deep understanding of its heart."

Everyone hearts is like a door locked by a stiff padlock. You can't simply open it with any strong or big iron rod. You need a suitable key of care and love, tender and concern to fit yourself in as a gentle person into that stiff and stubborn heart of another person.

Don't Change the WORLD

Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous country. One day, he went for a trip to some distant areas of his country. When he was back to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it was the first time that he went for such a long trip, and the road that he went through was very rough and stony. He then ordered his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather. Definitely, this would need thousands of cows' skin, and would cost a huge amount of money.

Then one of his wise servant dared himself to tell the king, "Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of money ? Why don't you just cut a little piece of leather to cover your feet?"

The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his suggestion, to make a "shoe" for himself.

There is a valuable lesson of life in this story :
To make this world a happy place to live, it is better to change ourself - our heart; and not the world........

The Brick

A young and successful executive was travelling down a neighbourhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and drove the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown.

The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"

The young boy was apologetic. "Please, mister ... please, I'm sorry... I didn't know what else to do," He pleaded. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop..." With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. "It's my brother," he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up." Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."

Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out his fancy handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. "Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful child told the stranger.

Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message :

"Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!"

God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice.

Love Stuck

This is a true story that happened in Japan.

In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan tears open the wall.

Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet. He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.

What happened?

The lizard has survived in such position for 10 years! In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving, it is impossible and mind boggling. Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step--since its foot was nailed!

So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating. Later, not knowing from where it came, appears another lizard, with food in its mouth.

Ahh! He was stunned and touched deeply. For the lizard that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past 10 years...

Such love, such a beautiful love! Such love happened even with this tiny creature ... What can love do? It can do wonders! Love can do miracles! Imagine? it has been doing that untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner.

Imagine what a small creature can do that a creature blessed with a brilliant mind can't.

I was touched when I heard this story and started wondering about relationships between family members, friends, lovers, brothers, sisters.

As information and communication technology advances, our access to information becomes faster and faster. But the distance between human beings . . . is it getting closer as well?

I ask you...please never abandon your loved ones.

LOVE is a gift, take it, let it grow.
LOVE is a sign we should wear, let it show.
LOVE is an act, do it, let it go.

Royal Military College (Maktab Tentera DiRaja)

The Royal Military College (RMC) is one of the most prestigious boarding schools in Malaysia, offering high-quality education. RMC has been established with the objective of preparing young Malaysians to take their places as officers in the Malaysian Armed Forces, in the higher divisions of the public services and as leaders in the professional, commercial and industrial life of the country.

RMC stands out from other schools with its informal environment which rubs off on its students' social consciousness. RMC comprises of male students from a variety of Malaysian races, with the condition that they fulfill the academic and co-curricular requirements. Therefore, the college's social influence teaches its boys to live and learn together, forming them into one family.

Another RMC trademark is its military resocialisation. Boys will come to realise that time must be divided for many activities in this highly regimented environment, where they are given all the necessary facilities and priviliges. In addition, their parents are not burdened with any financial support for their son(s) studying in RMC.

Naturally, discipline is a must at all times.

All these factors combine to make RMC a unique institution.

A new boy enters RMC in Form 4 (as of year 2006 intake) and sits for their SPM in Form 5. Those who do well will continue on to Form 6. RMC boys who do well are often offered scholarships, whether from the government or private sectors.
