Quantity surveyor + Filipino

So fast, my training comes to second day. For sure I expect it to be more interesting than 1st day la…haha…

Today I straightly go to tender department where do costing and tender for project. 3 of us are the 1st people come for this dept… first, reading the drawing for sanitary plumbing service as Mr. Lai asked to do yesterday. Then, continues read drawing for cold and hot water service and also tender document.

All of this stuff actually is work for a quantity surveyor. Today I luckily switch my position from engineer to quantity surveyor! I analyze all the costing for tender. That document really thick and it makes me so sleeeeeeepy …I dun remember how many times I accidentally close my eyes!!

The biggest thing I get today is learning Filipino!! There are two ladies from Philippines working at this dept. I sure won’t let go the chance to learn bahasa Filipina!! Hehe…actually Filipino very similar to Spanish, only few words are different. Spanish is second language in Philippines.

Erm…teach u guys some words I learned today la…

Good morning --- maganda umaga

How are you --- Kumus taka

I’m fine --- Mah buti

What is your name? --- Ano pangalan mo?

My name is Boon Teong --- Ang pangalan ho ay Boon Teong.

How old are you? --- Ilang taon hama.

Yes --- oh oh (that’s true, no joke…but that’s funny!)

No --- ah yao

You’re beautiful --- maganda ka

And…

I LOVE YOU --- Mahar kita

“selamat”… means thanks you la!!

Very funny actually…bcoz some of the malay words in Filipino has different meaning….like “sayang” means “bad thing” in Filipino!!

That’s all for today la…I afraid I’ll become translator for Filipino if I continues working at that dept!!haha! =)

Feel tired even like do nothing…but very happy because can learn new thing!! Hope everyday is a new day and there are new things for me to learn! Good luck to me and you all!
