I once did a job onboard a drilling ship and was told by the captain and superintendent that since their pressed for time, i had to do my survey of the necessary components within 2 days. Normally it would take around 4 days to do the job so i had to work around the clock for 42 hours without sleep.

I did have micro naps in between the 42 hours and luckily the galley is open 18 hours a day with free flow of red bull. After finish i kena sugar crash and slept for half a day.

You can use this tool to measure specifically what content your isp maybe blocking. So far singapore ISP do traffic shapping on bittorrent but not on youtube videos. My office pacnet dsl fortunately isnt blocked at all.

How should i know since i dont work for them?

Transocean is building a drillship at PTP? Or the ship stopped at PTP to have this retrofit?

Just now attended presentation of 1000mt crane by Favalle Favco. Didn't know it was a Malaysian company till they mention the fabrication is being done in Selangor.
*
You didnt know that transocean deepwater expedition was built by the very company which your working for?

Some minor and major retrofit job since their not satisfied with the work done at sembawang. The bulk of major retrofitting was done in sembawang anyway.

That will be the day when malaysia has the ability to build a drilling ship from scratch. Btw i heard singapore is not in contention for petrobas 28 rigs contract due to issues with the costing on singapores yard side. Quite a shame since each rig is estimated at around 700 million a piece.

I just joined. Anyway if it's a rig and has lots of open mushroom air cowls, most probably they are built by my company. Scarebeo 9 sailed into our yard as a commissioning job only but turned into a repair =P. I highly doubt Petrobras will skip Singapore as one THE leading rig builders in the world for jackups and semis. I'm quite optimistic Sg will land a few contracts. Anyway we will know the results of tender quite soon so we shall see =).
*
The leading doesnt mean they have to choose it. Since the brazil government which partly own petrobas is trying to steer petrobas to award the majority of the 28 rig contract to south americas, mostly brazils own shipyards. I dont think so since the first round of negotiations was pending after singapores shipyard blurted out their tender prices.

They can always go for china shipyards in dalian, for the price which singapore is asking for, you can build 3 rigs for the price of 2 singapore made rigs.

Hardwarezone : Messy but high traffic. Not organized.
VR Zone: More organized, Lowyat standard, but a lot less volume.

Those are the two I know. More for IT and gadget stuff. I realize Sg seldom people sell sec hand stuff, even if they do its at a very slight discount only.

Lowyat.net FTW!

At least they have an active community to sell/purchase used games.

I goto gametrader.sg to get my used ps3 titles. So far so good and all are in good condition without any scratches.

Bull crap...singaporeans are stingy scrooge...they think as if msians are cheap labours!

Its not just malaysians, alot of singaporeans in the sub-con industry, especially engineering treat their workers sub-par standard.

One of my clients, NOV are looking for people. Since your in the O&G field, you can try them out at gul avenue. Their pay is competitve, their an MNC so no china man mentality and they have full clothes washing and shower facilities if you need it.

I recently was given kings safety shoe to evaluate. After using it for 2 months, the outer sole started to split and water went it, plus it wasnt very comfortable. I'll just stick with jallate shoes.

When i did a contract job for shell, they supplied me with red wing shoes. Damn nice but damn ex, in singapore it cost 250 just for 1 pair.

NOV has a office at 29 tuas bay drive which services drilling equipment such as drill bits, riser pipes etc.

Well my uni supplies them as well. I guess they are the cheaper, more disposable type. So far I find them to be quite comfortable after a period of wear in. Then again I don't go to site that often. It's quite heavy though. Train my legs everytime I put them on.

Later going to join the Pentax outing! Shooting all over orchard st. Going to put my 100-300mm to good use for people sniping. =)

Oh, so your a kpp. I thought your one of those engineers who is always onsite. I guess nowadays they use contractors as their eyes and ears.

Isnt reverse parking tougher? If thats the case, why should singaporeans driving be worse off then malaysians. Plus their driving test are much more stringent and no lesen kopi as well.
