Gents,

Good Day. I'm looking for a good (friendly and cost) one to one golf lesson for beginner in Spore. Anybody has suggestion? Planning to have a lesson after working hour, so dont think a good choice to cross the border for the lesson.

Appreciate it.

All,

Appreciate your comments on the apartments below;

1-Regency House 121 Penang Road
2-PARKROYAL Serviced Suites Singapore – 7500B Beach Road
3 -Shangri-La Singapore Service Apartments & Residences, 1 Anderson Road


Given the above options for my temporary apartment. As mentioned earlier, will be working at Suntec. My take now is ParkRoyal as it only short walking distance to the office.

How's the area? Should I consider other options?

Thanks.

If you like to go home for makan, take naps, take a dump etc... then take the closest one. My temp living when I first came to SG was at the service apartments right behind my office. Heaven! Walk towards the toilets so that people think you go pee, then detour to go home for afternoon naps.

Parkroyal and Shang should be ok.

Thanks Seantang. Thats in my mind right now.

1. smack right in orchard, you can get everything there, downside it being slightly further to office and getting a cab can be a pain
2. nearest, walking would take 15-20 mins.. if you get a unit facing the sea, you would get mbs/marina golf view... lots of food nearby, especially middle eastern n malay.. downside, hard to buy groceries
3. among the 3, maybe this is the one to skip since it is the furthest and all routes to workplace are extremely busy during peak hours, nothing all around.. only upside is it being in a quiet neighborhood...

i would go for no.2

Thanks alaskanbunny. Its a clear choice now. Anyway, it is only temp apartment, kinda warm up for me to know singapore better.

7500B Beach Road should be pan pac not park royal. The hotel is quite new, 1-2 years of age. I stay and work at Beach Road for few years now. Good place. Opp your hotel is Arab street for happy hour. Green and Orange MRT line within walking distances. Changi airport 40 mins mrt, or 20 mins cab. Plenty of good food, both food courts and atas food. Shopping you can go Bugis junction or the Thai supermarket down the road. Free view of laser shows and fireworks, one big one coming 9th Aug. If you are alone and have emergency, Thai bar also have and Geylang is nearby too.

Thanks John..btw, i heard gelyang has a good variety of durian..kekekeke....

From my office i can oversee prelude on the berth but im not stationed in SHI.

Thats a big oversight if peple can mix up 25mm with 250mm.

Here in korea, i made it very clear that they follow all the instructions given to them to the letter, and i do periodic spot checks and highlight any areas which fail to meet with said procedures.

The workmanship for the most part in korea is far superior than what you can get in singapore. Plus they build their ships/rigs in blocks/modules which is a faster, more efficient and less dangerous method of constructing things.

The only problem is it requires skill workmanship, additional heavy lifting equipment and good management to build the way they do, something singapore shipyards lack in all three areas compared to korea.

Doesnt mean korean ppl dont make mistakes or are stubborn as shit, just today got a dispute on one of their fabricated items, looks like i gotta make a "findings" report again.

Throwing an old story....

Norway rig owner awaiting answers after sinking drama in South Korea
Odfjell Drilling still does not know how the 'Deepsea Aberdeen' could sink while it was under construction at Daewoo's Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering yard, Saturday morning.
Marius B. Staveli Journalist, Jan Oddvar Eide Journalist, Michael Sandelson Translator
Publisert: 02.jan. 2014 15:34 Oppdatert: 03.jan. 2014 16:39

Daewoo was still constructing the Norwegian company's 'Deepsea Aberdeen' at their South Korea yard when she went down.


Bergen-based National Oilwell Varco (NOV) had 38 employees working on the rig at the time when she took on water. All were evacuated immediately and brought to land in safety.

There were no injuries, NOV managing director Tor Henning Ramfjord in southern Norway's Kristiansand told regional paper Fædrelandsvennen, Saturday. NOV added they had the situation under control.


No answers for now
"We're still waiting for information from the yard as to why the rig sank, and we can't currently comment further on the matter, Odfjell communications director Gisle Johanson said to Aftenbladet, Monday.

"We're in regular contact with the yard, but have to wait until we get the confirmed information from Daewoo before we can form an independent opinion as to the cause of the incident and its consequences. It's the yard's responsibility to follow up and investigate the incident, but we'll be closely following work they are doing to uncover the causes and consequences," added Mr Johanson.

Demands
He describes Daewoo as a serious and experienced player. The company has previously constructed two similar rigs for Odfjell, the 'Deepsea Atlantic' and 'Deepsea Stavanger'. The new 'Deepsea Aberdeen' will be almost an exact copy of the second rig, which is currently in operation for BP in Tanzania. Statoil is leasing the 'Deepsea Atlantic' from Odfjell up to 31 August 2015.

"We have had a long and good cooperation with the yard and expect that they now take responsibility for finding the cause of the rig sinking, and to ensure a good implementation of the rest of the construction process," Mr Johanson stated.

On the side notes; for some reasons one of our drillship that currently in SHI now delay one quarter from the original delivery schedule.

We built 8 semis and few jack ups in Kfels and all delivered ahead of schedule.

All,

I would like to get some suggestion from you guys. Between Starhub and Singtel, which one is better in term or packages/time for installation/services/etc? This will be for satellite TV, internet (prefer fibre).

my friend told me to subscribe Singtel as the invoice/statement will include all although we add on any channels later on (expenses will be under company).
But then, we have to wait around 2-weeks for the installation.

For Starhub, it will be fast to get but then if i add on channels, it will go to separate bill which i have to pay on my own..

So, appreciate your input. Thanks.

They have thier own field and is not in anyway confliting of interest, sub contracted work in either way or competitors. I understand your point of view that if sub con or somewhat related can be a big problem because news will spread like wild fire.

I will talk to new company HR and MOM. I believe the new company HR knows what to do. But as long i got a standing offer that i had comfirmed should be ok. MOM is not much of a concern since my degree is good as well as experience.

I dont mind taking time off as i have not used up my annual leave. Company says 1 month notice, thus i am entitled to use it as my annual leave with pay.

I did some thinking and know that if they terminate my contract, i will have one week to cancle my EP. But contract is contract, if they break my contract they need to pay me for my annual leave and 1 month notice and i dont need to work rclxm9.gif . That leaves me for applying my EP for my new employer even easier.

MOM probably setup the exchange of EP in such a way both employers will not see each other to protect the employee privacy. Thus one closes and the other opens.

This job will need you to go offshore as well like the current job?

Yo guru, how are you?

Yes can be offshore and land too. But I be in a totally different work from what I currently do.

Well as for trips, not much as for now since I be doing a lot of paperwork for my new EP.
I plan to take PR with my new company as I can see a long term relationship with some training provided too when i start.
Might be going to Australia to work.
I be doing instrumentation & programming now on. A pro guru like you will know instantly, is one of the 5 DCS guys.  brows.gif

Same old shit different day...
I'm not guru la bro, just promoted to 'head roustabout'..and finally move into permanent house in Opera Estate area.

And I'm not very familiar with I&P, only know a few that involve on drilling rigs...

Anyway, good luck for you..
