One huge liability coming up ..

Secured the COE for this bidding. $14001 for this round and they had managed to secure my COE although supposedly, my COE bid should be $12k. On the bright side, looks like i managed to get the car at a cheaper price, for now that is.

Checked the internet today, the price of the vios is now at $56888, so i saved $5800..in my point of view, also have $2000 paper gain on the COE price. So i guess, as long as i am comfortable with the price and the loan that i am taking, i guess its ok.

Excited that the car is coming, likely at the end of the year, so its a good start of 2008. With more time on hand, i should be able to achieve more ba. heh =P

Hmmm.. very happy to be moving forward. It applies to work too as i am taking more responsibilities as time goes by. Lucky i have a good supervisor who understands that rotating equipment actually requires a lot of experience and after 2 months at work, managed to gain a titsy bit of experience, but its a long way to go. =P At least by next year, i am not longer bounded to leave the office by 5.30 to catch the last bus.

For my department, i feel that there is a lot of freedom in what i do. As my role is to improve the reliability of the rotating equipment in the plant, the pumps and compressors, i have to understand not only the operating parameters of the plant, but also the process and the entire systems at times. When that happens, then i would be able to make recommendations for improving the reliabilty of the rotating equipment.

Guess my goal would be to improve at least one pump by Jun 08. Heh. =P
