factory life - the begining

Factory life can be boring in the whole world, except my factory

You have no system - "no system is the best system, as we can respond to changes faster than anybody" - so say me defacto boss then - he is not totally wrong, at that time that is

The sleeping giant has began to awaken - run by a bunch of enthusiastic technocrat - dedicated, hard working and do anything to meet buyers' requirement

The factory operators call them FOC committee - Free of charge, OT that is. The first shift operators saw them in the morning when they go home and the last shift still see them around when coming to work

What make them tick? I dont know but i followed through. The pay is good but not fantastic. The bonus is huge but not uncommon in Old style china man company. The only comment i can draw is RK is blessed. Later in my career in shipping, plantation, i found similar heroes there

During the management course, lecture told us that the first hour of work - the manager should close his door and plan for the day. When i drive to work every morning, I just wondering what fire need to put out today. What planning

When I first started i worked until maybe 10pm....... until one day one old timer tell me i can sit until 2 am in the morning there will be still unfinished business.....why.....because you are there

Maybe that's one of the reason i like about this job - there is no politics. The job is so taxing that you can volunteer or assume any responsibility or authority - it will be gladly presented to you


I started as QC head and normally this is the department say pass or fail and stop there. Production say it has produced the oil and up to the operation to move. Operation will say vessel is coming if no cargo it is not their responsibility

When QC take over the responsibility, there is no quarrel - it is gladly given to me. My experience outside the factory is beneficial for decision making. Of course I am young then and not afraid of decision making.

I do make mistakes sometimes but the spirit is there and everybody help to turn the tide. It was a wonderful 12 years working there until i was transfer to China - which is the second turning point of my life

  1. “When I was introduced to Mr. Lee Ben ( A Loan Officer), I was entering the market as a first time home buyer.My needs were a bit different and I had loads of questions, before he sent me my pre-approval letter, he called to speak with me about what it meant and what could change. He made himself available to me at pretty much any hour via email and texts, he was very responsive and knowledgeable. He’s also very straightforward, I explained to him what my expectations were in terms of closing time and other particulars. He said he would meet those expectations but he surpassed them. I closed so quickly my realtor and the seller of course were excited about that. But as a buyer I appreciated being walked through the process in a succinct yet thorough fashion. From pre-approval to closing- the journey was so seamless and I consider myself lucky because I’ve heard horror stories about the internet . I recommend A loan officer ben lee contact email: 247officedept@gmail.com & Whatsapp Number :+1-989-394-3740 to anyone looking for a loan in any market. Everything was handled electronically expediently and securely :)”
