3rd day at PTM..

not much of activity today,..
juz went to a discussion and a meeting with a client..:>

the discussion was with GTFS, EISD staffs and Technical Expert(T.E) En. Ismail Abdullah..
En Ismail Abdullah have been working with Petronas for quite some years,.. and i realized he has such a knowledge about engineering.. especially chemical engineering.. he has such a strong field experience that i felt like saluting dat guy for his smartness.. never tot an engineer is so cool tho!.:>

The discussion was actually a preparation for the meeting with the clients.. they went through the project proposal and documentations, and pointed out the important things they want the client to clarify, such as the registration process, the efficiency of the system, and their output buyer....:>

After an hour of discussion, the client came.. the client was a new company, which appointed 2 guys to represent them.. one of them is an engineer(En. Ali) who has 25 years of experience with Petronas, and the other guy is a "Dato'". En Ali did the presentation on the technology he invented.. I really wish i can share it in here, but he clarified those informations are classified and cannot be recorded..
Basically their company propose a project about waste management... so its more related to chemical engineering, on how the substances were processed..
En Ali said that he got the idea of this project from an accident back when he was working for Petronas, and then he keeps doing experiment on converting plastic to energy..( Charcoal, Crude oil , and gas).. basically this technology has already been used worldwide, but En Ali invented a system that can cut down a bunch of cost, which he said is his secret,.. he wouldn't even reveal it to the PTM T.E, and C.O.O.;
probably juz protecting his technology from being stolen.. :>

from his presentation, he sure knows A LOT about chemical and chemistry,.. I felt soo overwhelmed by his knowledge..
Apparently, he was a Civil Engineering student... but i believe his 25 years experience with Petronas has made him the guy he is today.. :>

the meeting went well during En Ali's presentation, .. however, during the questions and answer from PTM's T.E, it was quite tense..
probably because they did not complete the checklist, and submit a complete registration,.. on the other hand, En Ali claimed that he has submitted it twice, and got the completion confirmation twice from PTM.. thats when things were quite tense.. eventually, when En Hishamuddin insists En Ali on doing it again, right there in the meeting room, the problem was found.. it has something to do with the GTFS' website.. En Ali filled the requirements in the web, monitored by T.E and En Hishamuddin,.. but the system still cannot get the registration..
They are considering a possibility of a hacker actually hacked into the website, and blocked other companies from registering, so that their company got the approval from PTM, as the protocol here is "1st come 1st serve" thingy..
after a while, they settled to an agreement, and the meeting ended..:>

En Ali did asked me once, "which university are u from?",. i said uniten,.. and he said,"UNITEN is a very good university"...
well.. its good to get an acknowledgment from such an awesome engineer as En Ali.. :>

Basically, today is the day that i actually learn A LOT about engineering stuff so far at PTM.. and believe it or not, its just from "1 meeting" and a discussion..:>


P/S: cant wait for saturday to come :>
