Finally!!! I did it!!!!! Yeah!!

Recalling last year, i typed a post looking forward to my own convo, and very soon, its all over ady. It just like happened so fast.

..........................................................................
Heard a funny conversation:

'Mom, i suffered for three years all the way just to wait for this moment.'

'Daughter, i suffered for 24 years also wait for this moment.'

(zzz)

Buddies

I always stick to my buddies for every time i back to my hometown. Be it more or just few people, be it only chatting or playing games, i feel nothing special and just i still have some companion. They always talk nonsense, tease each other, tear off people faces, make people embarrassed but all these are for fun and jokes. I know they din mean it.

Some of the times, they still will be concerning each other, maybe not during all being there for gathering, but the time when you and him only. They did utter words of concern and they notice your act, your emotional changes and your mood. Whatever you did, they know.

For those who read my earlier post, i am troubled by something else, something not really easy to put down or let go which still strikes my head and heart. It just like a fire bolt striking into my body and my body burnt!!!!

When i am in such kind of situation, i still go out wif my buddies, i still chat wif thm, i still go cyber wif thm, and i try to act normally. (sometimes its hard to cover up your emotion) However, this time the feeling was totally different even though they stil do the same things, still talking craps!!! But the feeling is so warm and near to me. it is something very familiar to me that i can hold it, i can feel it. Feeling like when be with them, really can temporarily forget all the sadness.

Needles to tell them your problem, needles to show them my face, but in fact they warmed my heart. Something really weird right? How cum recently i can hv such deep thoughts in my writing? something going wrong wif me......haha

You guys, brilliant man!!!!

My last day

In fact, it was not really my last day. However officially today was my last day as an intern. I completed the whole training and break for two weeks before joining PRU as permanent staff. Normally, anyone will think that last day definitely less thing to do or even no. However since long time ago, my boss didn't treat me as trainee but permanent. Same with my team members. Although they cant thoroughly pass me their task but they pass it over part by part.

Yesterday, i was so dare to leave office sharp at 5.15pm even i haven finish my job, but i know i can finish it by tomorrow (which is the deadline since is my last day).

She asked me:"You leave now? Are you sure you can finish by tomorrow?"

"Ya, i think i can, since thats just minor editing on the template and add in commentary."

"How bout the scorecard?"

"You haven pass me the data."

"But you can do the template first right? Then tomorrow you can just fill in the values."

<<<<>>>>>>>

I chose the latter one. I dunno how she feel, but definitely she really disappointed with my decision.

Today during noon, she IM me and said that this monthly reporting task is for me to do in future for every month, you wont be so free like now, be prepared to work late when you back as permanent. (I dunno whether am i sensitive or what, feel like she emphasizing on the last part)

Well, so today as my last day i decide to stay late until finish the stuff for her. Just right at 5pm, i submitted my work with the hope that there are miracle to go home earlier.

She asked:" So are you going bk on time today?"

"Err, not really, can stay."

"OOO means you prepared to stay ya??"

"haha, ya, help you finish the stuff first ma."

"Then when you wanna back?"

"Not fix, anytime."

"Ok, since you say so, i will fully utilize you."

Edition and addition coming ady, this need change, this need add and compile some other files. Shit...how can i finish it in just few hours time? I started not to talk crap ady, i started to concentrate on my work. Non stop for 4 hours, i finish the thing. I left office at ard 9pm.

How come my last day like this? Was this a signal or phenomenon that reflecting my future life? Ya in fact i ady prepared so....Although i cant claim OT for now due to my trainee status, i will just treat it as did a charity for PRU.

What a 'memorable' last day........

Yew Bong

He not an artist, not singer not any famous ppl. Just an ordinary fresh graduate from Um and he is my first buddy since my working life. However i just able be with him for a total of 6 weeks.

Why?

A good question.

All the problems can be easily explained by one term: >>>>>>> MONEY

He get a better offer from another company, of course with higher pay. He tendered his resignation on his 11th day of working in Prudential. What a shock for me. The same day, i submitted my resume to apply for permanent.

All these days, he is the one be with me always, chat wif me, since we are free sometimes and he just sit beside me. Through the same language, same age, same interest, we talk alot of things, we eat togeder but not shit and slp togeder of course. I was so honored that i was the only one that he told ppl whr will him b going. And as a return i did tell him my things as well. (cant say as return sumtimes) just feel comfortable to chat wif.

Today his last day, haiz....who gonna acc me go for cheap food during lunch? who can acc me go pantry when i sien? who can listen to my nonsense? nobody, hoping my boss can hire another guy like him thn sure i can be motivated bk...lol

I will miss ur days in prudential with me.. All the best in ur future ya!!!! Gambate..

p/s: this post specially dedicated for u, so u shud treat me meal after u get ur first pay..haha

5.15pm

When i saw this post, i do really feel exactly the same as if i was the one she was mentioning.

Since i was an intern, i was not liable for working OT as i get no pay for that. I always tease those colleagues (of course with close relatiohsip), they are ineffective and thats why every night have to stay. Miss C said nothing but just one:"i will see how effective you are when you were a permanent."

2 months here, i was just tried once to work overtime, (even later then Miss C).All my colleagues said that i've to used to this life. Its a matter of now or after. Miss C, hapily IM me in the intranet saying:"wahaha, its the first time i can back earlier than u!!!"

Oh fuck!!! What if the rest of my life would be like that? Pity!! So as long as i stil hold the name of trainee or intern (whatever), i will fully enjoy to the fullest. At least, i have no obligation to finish all the thing as they not dare to pass me important task as well. No ppl can bear the responsibilities. LOL. Eviday sharp 5.15pm, u can c my buttock off the chair heading the front door. starting from 4.30pm, (for damn free period) i will find sumbdy to chat in pantry, until 5pm.

Dun ever think that i will start working after 5, coz 5.15 coming soon. take another 5 mins to the washroom, 5 mins to pack my things and clear my table, sharp 5.15 'pit'!!!

One day, the secretary of the finance department passed by and she saw me leaving really sharp. She stared at me, saying loud, wah, you guys really cum sharp and leave sharp, cant even sit a bit longer. OMG, i feel so guilty and i was stunned for few seconds dunno how to respond. Luckily another guy leave togeder wif me, he said yes to her. At least somebdy say sumthg. Why he dare to say so? Coz he leaving soon at that tie. today is his last day. But i think she is just kidding and wanna have a fool on us. Normally she wont be so serious one..... So i hapily leave..wakaka

Everytime i leave, i also not dare to say goodbye to evi one, unless he or she is looking at me, then sure i will. Once, i sent email to my boss at 5.15pm and i run quickly since he was on the phone. I dunno whether my work got problem anot, but i not dare to look at him worrying that he might ask me stay back to edit the work. untill the next day, i check my mail din have any edit request,i release a sigh of relief. phew!!!

be cool!!!

Another moody day of mine, being so silent in the office, being so ‘diam’ in connection with my colleagues. Normally, even if I was so busy I still will IM (instant messaging through intranet) others. But yesterday and today, I din. I totally silenced by my mood.

My colleague from another team dated me for lunch today and trying to enlighten my day. We went for TGI Friday and I sat at the window side. I was looking outside just like being stunned and without talking anything. The first response from them was: “Are there any lenglui outside?” (as I always talk bout gals with them, till they say that beside gals I hv no topic..zzzzzzzz)

“Nola, just wondering something cannot ge meh? Cant I be quiet?”

“You thinking sumthg regarding your work or what? Are you busy with you work? Since you work OT starting last night and today you were so busy to IM me?”

“(Attempting to tell a lie) Ya, thinking of work. ES (my boss) gave me something to do which I hardly figure out until now and have to submit soon after lunch time.”

“You wont, as what we know you so far, you wont think your work stuff until so serious. Must be sumthg else.” (cant I be serious on my work? )

“Then what you think?”

“Man is just worrying bout two things, money and gals.”

Another colleague: “ well, man worry bout money also coz of gals, so at the final just worry bout gals..” (zzzz…speechles)

Since they kept bugging me on this, I just try to be as usual of mine. I tried to talk craps as usual but with my serious face and hence it turns out another type of humor. (I suppose) However, after I started to talk more (im teasing them), they prompted me with:

“Ok fine. You better keep with you serious style by looking outside the window and silent. You look better without talking and you are so cool.”

Ok so now, I decided not to talk crap ady, since im more attractive in cool mode, I will be so. Hopefully can cover my not handsomeness and have a chance to attract some lenglui flirt with me.. zzzzz

p/s:

1)thz for the concern msg after work from Miss C. glad you din really treat me as an entertainment. Haha (kidding)

2) sry to Miss T for bugging you. in fact i just wanna spread out some of my anger. I din mad at u. haha

EQ

How can we manage our emotion well? Izit really so easy to control our mood and emotion? And the answer is no.

Today im not in the mood for work. I was troubled by something over which brings down my mood. Dun ask me what and why, just dun wanna tell as that's not the point I wanna point out.

Today when I was working, my mind was just cant concentrate at all. Due to some uneasiness of my body, it aggravated the situation. When the thing is in rush, at the same time your mind cant function properly, that's really suffer!!! It was being worse when my stupid pc working out so slow and keep on hanging for calculation in large spreadsheet. I cant save my file everytime as it consists of too many external links. I was so stupid not to break the links or copy out as values. Redo and redo, looking at the time nearer to off soon, but I din hv the intention to leave. Just wanna have sumthg to do so as I wont think of my trouble thg.

When the time of I wanna redo my thg, I just wish I can scream or smash on the pc. But I know I cant do so.. I just kept on sighing and having a black face. My team members even asked me what am I doing and I looks like so stress. Zzzz

So am I high in EQ since I can control it and swallow it or it consider as low since I let it conquer my mind and lost my rationale in normal times ? I don't know. But I do agree doing serious thing in such a mood would affect your work badly. Never and never!!!

Blood Donation

Its been a long time for not writing a long post with pictures shown. And this post was written due to the imbalance of my anger in my heart!!! Haha!!


An ignorance in biological field made me lose a bet worth RM14. How cum a calculative person like me will lose in a bet? Well, its pretty long story. And the worst thg is, one of my good fren din even comfort me on this but to push me deeper. Crap!!

The story came like this. One day in the pantry, my boss and me chatting about blood donation. He asked me how many times I had been for donation since I so volunteered to do so. And he replied me that he has more thn 50 times in his red book. A maths person like me, din even believe on his ‘craps’. Why? Coz I think it in a mathematical way but not biologically.

Maths way:

Legal age: 17
His age: 29
Difference: 12.
Interval for blood donation: quarterly (every three months)
Assumption: He goes donation every three months (which is the max)
Outcome: 12 x 4 = 48.
Subtract : A working group wont be able to be so sharp every three months.
Final decision: Max = 40 times in his book.

So I bet with him (which he initiates first): a lunch for the winner. If his book > 50 thn he wins, if not I win. I was so confident at that time since he said actually he cheated me, just want to bluff me.. So im waiting for the lunch.

Until weekend, which is the time we went for blood donation, he asked me to reserve 2 hours for his donation. And once again I din believe him because for my fren which encounter problems during donation also just for 1 hours max, no matter what kind of ppl I wont believe it tooks 2 hours. Before raising this issue, he ady showed me his red book and I knew I lost. And he asked for another bet on this topic. I not dare to accept the bet, but I still chose not to believe him. Haha!!!

We went to National Blood Bank and inside there really so canggih for the donation tools. Perhaps im the frog under the well, coz I really din see all those things before.

Photobucket

During normal blood donation campaign, our bag was just ‘measured’ by hand and if its full they will stop it. But here, they have a weight for it which can also calculate the flow rate. It swings and let the blood to move around in the bag… it will automatically stop after the weight reach parameter which had been set at earlier time. (eg: 450cc or 500?)

Photobucket

Now is the time to disclose why im so stupid in biological field, and why my boss can have more than 50 times donation and why he need 2 hours for the whole process.

The answer is, there is something call plasma and platelet in our body which contained in our blood as well. That's a useful thing which ppl can use it to produce a lot of medical stuffs. Its yellowish and it can recover fast in our body. This is the machine for the spinning purpose which split all the three components and send back the blood to our body. Using the same hose, for thru and flo, that's why it took an hour for it.

Photobucket

This is the spinning mechanism. The centre round part is the blood reservoir.

Photobucket

This is the monitor which shows the flow rate, direction (draw, spin, return), ml of bloods process, ml of platelet and plasma processed.

Photobucket

Output!!!

Photobucket

And another point is that i was teased by my close fren. Miss CCY, currently in medic field. When i told her what i saw here, she just teased me that im so like a kid when first discover something new. Haiz....The most painful one is she asked me not to tell others that she is my friend. Why? Coz i noe so less in all these things,she said: "you dun mempersiasuikan me". Speechless...

Next time I gonna try out on this. However it did has a risk there where during the return process to out body. When return, it mixed with a liquid, (forgot the name) which is cool in temperature and pumps back to our body. If the bloods goes into your vein or hitting your walls, then it will be a great pain. And that is why nurse will be around where they ensure there is no problem for returning. Normally it goes for 6 cycles. Total product produced around 600 ml (300ml for each) and total blood processed around 3litre. Recovery week is 1 week and for safety purpose, encouraged to donate every two weeks. So beside donating whole blood, I can opt for this…yeah yeah!!

Digi BroadBand

Disconnected from my broadband life for about 3months. From May until end of July. I lost my connections for all the HK drama series, for all my online games and all my chatting partners. Haha

As in my previous post, although I can online at the office, but many websites blocked and an old ppl like me has very poor memory which cannot remember the web address of my favourite sites. The most important thing is that i cant even reply my mail for some urgent issues. Hence I was forced to find alternatives.

Finally i subscribe with the DiGi broadband service and i can access internet at home without going to KFC or Mamak Stall which bounded only for two hours duration. Although the speed is not so favorable, just double of the speed of tmnet, however it gives me the flexibility and at least i can access from anywhere.

Previously, i can access my blog, hotmail, facebook in my office. Those who responded to my blog quite frequent will know that, im really very free to check my blog in regular short interval during office hours. I can access my hotmail and drill in every message but cannot reply nor forward. It serves me well as i still can know any urgent matters.

However, dunno izit me the culprit that make the system blocked all these websites. I no longer can view my message in hotmail. The worst is i cant even access my blog with the URL classification : PORN SITE DETECTED

Hey man, my blog where got porn site? I din even have a naked photo in it. At most half naked la, for upper body part, but does it consider as? And i dunno what the hell is the comment application associated with my blog. I cant edit it anymore. I just like isolated from the internet. Now i have to go online at somewhere else at night, maybe KFC, mamak, or wherever got WiFI.

I WANNA ONLINE!!!!!

Food shrinking

Since the price hike until now, government had forbade business owners to raise their price and especially for food and beverages. It is sure for them to carry such a heavy burden where the costs inreases where their price cannot be changed which lower their profit margin. For those who earn from hand to mouth, they probably tightening their belt for surviving.

However their are some smart people who can escape from rules and regulations but also can maintain their profit margin. Last weekend, i went for a hawker stall to have my brunch. I ordered a dry mee with pork and i said to them EXTRA!!!

However when they came to me, the quantity of the fucking pork mee was just little i can finish it in two serving. Well, their price is 'cheap' enough as previous, RM3.50, but they cut off their quantity at least 30%. 'Smart' right?

Rules said that v cannot raise the price, but din mention bout v cant cut off the quantity... Nice tactic!! and poor for the consumers!!!

Am i a dead fish?

Last two weeks, i've been to mid valley for two movies on the same day. While waiting in between, i was just so free to walk around and i found a machine testing for passionate. IT just cost me 20cents, why not?

The big title was "are you passionate?"

In my own opinion, i dun dun think im to the extreme but at least i still will have some. I put my palm on the screen as thy read palm print for the result. And i can pretty sure that that machine is totally a lie and for cheating money. It just simply produce results when someone placed their palm

From this post title,u shud b able to noe wat is the result.

it displayed:


DEAD FISH



so u all tell me, am i?

Production of Used Papers

As all of us know, we do use draft papers when working something. In office, definitely we have many used papers which can be recycled as draft papers for daily use. Same for me, i get a pile of used papers from my colleague to ease my job.

The point that i want to bring out in this post is, i feel abit 'paiseh'. Why? It is because of where every people they are reducing their draft papers on the desk along with their daily usage, but me, the other way round, increasing the thickness of the pile of papers. They are getting new used papers from photostat machine, but i produce mroe n more used papers by the machine. zzzzzz

Recently, my immediate supervisor is asking me to type official letters to other organizations and translations from malay to english to the CEO.(he is a white guy). The first moment that i received the task, i thought:"OMG, asking to me draft a letter means expose my own weakness to my 'boss?" (due to my poor english).

Of course, it would be perfect for the first time, everything went wrong on my first draft as i really dunno bout the format and the proper way to delivere the message. I think, except the address and spelling, the whole contents were editted by my 'boss'.

Words are really so meaningful as different combinations of words can produce different message. Although i understand the whole letter, but i never think of using such sentence. For example, im writing a letter to ask ppl to leave the building as the property was sold.

i wrote: we wish to request u to leave the premise within 24 hours from the date of this letter.

editted: we would like to seek your help to obtain vacant possession of the said premise within 24 hours receipt of this letter.

Due to all these kind of stuffs, i printed many 'yuin wong' papers. Haiz....when can i start to 'reduce' these used papers on my desk? Hopefully it wont be at an increasing rate....haiz..

Another list of facts!!!

There are lots of comments on my previous blog about the bringing the fuel price down. Some agree, some dont. Some agreed that this a normal phenomenon due to the scarcity. Ok, now lets see about another analysis which combines all facts of other countries price of oil, profit earned, and the concept of subsidy.

WHAT IS NEVER MENTIONED IN Mainstream Media like NST/TheStar/Utusan/BH are these facts....

Malaysian PerCapita Income USD 5000
VS
Singaporean PerCapita Income USD 25000

Further The Star made a comparison of prices in Thailand , Singapore and Indonesia .




For Thailand it is quoted at RM3.90/liter, however are they aware that in Thailand new cars are cheaper than Malaysia by RM10,000? They pay only one life time for their driving license? No renewal fee after that? Also that goes for road tax as well? And do TheStar also aware that you can drive all the way from Hadtyai to Bangkok on a six lane highway without paying any Tolls ??!!

Whereas here in Malaysia you have to pay yearly renewal for road tax , driving license and TOLLS, TOLLS, TOLLS!!!

For Singapore how can you quote RM 5.20 ? Please quote in Singapore Dollars because they are earning in Sing Dollars. You might as well say Europeans are paying RM10/liter. RM5.20/liter = Sing $ 2.20/liter, still cheaper than Malaysia in view of fact that Singapore is not a crude oil exporter. Are you saying that you fill up petrol in Singapore by paying Ringgit?

In economy, dollar to dollar must be compared as apple to apple. Not comparing like durian in M'sia is much cheaper than durian in Japan !! Of course-lah, Japan is not durian producer!!! Comparing Malaysian durian with Thailand durian make more sense!!

For Indonesia we might say is cheaper there at RM2.07/liter but compare that to their level of income!


Now, let us compare the price with OIL PRODUCING countries:

UAE – RM1.19/litre
Eygpt – RM1.03/litre
Bahrain – RM0.87/litre
Qatar – RM0.68/litre
Kuwait – RM0.67/litre
Saudi Arabia – RM0.38/litre
Iran – RM0.35/litre
Nigeria – RM0.32/litre
Turkmenistan – RM0.25/litre
Venezuela – RM0.16/litre
MALAYSIA – RM2.70/litre


RM 2.70!!! Individual perspective:

As of last month a Toyota Vios would 'cause a damage' of about RM 89,000.
In the international market, a Toyota Vios is about USD 19,000
USD 19,000 = RM 62,700 (using the indicative rates of USD 1 = RM 3.30)
That makes Malaysian Vios owners pay an extra RM 26,300.

This RM 26,300 should be cost of operations, profit and tax because the transportation costs have been factored in to the USD 19,000.

RM 26,300/ RM625 petrol rebate per year translates to a Vios being used for 42.08 years.

I do understand that the RM 625 is a rebate given by the government, but it also means that one has to use the Vios for 42.08 years just to make back the amount paid in taxes for the usage of a foreign car. Would anyone use any kind of car for that long?

Now with these numbers in front of us, does the subsidy sound like a subsidy or does it sound like a penalty? This just seems to be a heavy increment in our daily cost of living as we are not only charged with high car taxes but also with a drastic increase in fuel price.

With all the numbers listed out, I urge all Malaysians to join me in analyzing the situation further.

Car taxation is government profit, fuel sales is Petronas' (GLC) profit which also translates into government profit. The government may ridicule us Malaysians by saying look at the world market and fuel price world wide. Please, we are Malaysians, we fought of the British, had a international port in the early centuries (Malacca), home to a racially mixed nation and WE ARE NOT STUPID!!!

We know the international rates are above the USD 130/barrel. We understand the fact that the fuel prices are increasing worldwide and we also know that major scientist are still contradicting on why this phenomenon is happening. Some blame Bush and his plunders around the world and some blame climate change and there are others which say petroleum 'wells' are getting scarce.

Again we go back to numbers to be more straight fwd

1 barrel = 159 liters x RM2.70/liter = RM 429 or USD 134

On 1 hand, we are paying the full cost of 1 barrel of crude oil with RM2.70 per liter but on the other hand the crude oil only produces 46% of fuel.

Msia sells crude oil per barrel at USD130 buys back Fuel per barrel at USD134. And not forgetting, every barrel of fuel is produced with 2 barrels of crude oil.

1 barrel crude oil = produce 46% fuel (or half of crude oil), therefore
2 barrel crude oil = approximately 1 barrel fuel
In other words, each time we sell 2 barrels of crude oil, equivalently we will buy back 1 barrel of fuel.

Financially,
Malaysia sell 2 barrel crude oil @ USD 130/barrel = USD 260 = RM 858
then, Malaysia will buy back fuel @ USD 134/barrel = RM 442/barrel
Thus, Malaysia earn net extra USD 126 = RM 416 for each 2 barrel of crude sold/exported vs imported 1 barrel of fuel !!!
(USD 260-134 = USD 126 = RM416)

So where this extra USD 126/barrel income is channeled to by Malaysian Govt?????????

Another analysis:

1 barrel crude oil = 159 liters.
46-47% of a barrel of crude oil = fuel that we use in our vehicles.
46% of 159 = 73.14 liters.
@ RM 2.70/liter x 73.14 liter = RM197.48 of fuel per barrel of crude oil. This is only 46% of the barrel, mind you. Using RM 3.30 = USD 1, we get that a barrel of crude oil produces USD 59.84 worth of petrol fuel (46% of 1barrel).
USD 59.84 of USD 130/barrel turns out to be 46% of a barrel as well.

Another 54% = bitumen, kerosene, and natural gases and so many more.
And this makes a balance of USD 70.16 that has not been accounted for.

So this is where I got curious. Where is the subsidy if we are paying 46% of the price of a barrel of crude oil when the production of petrol/barrel of crude oil is still only 46%?

In actual fact, we still pay for this as they are charged in the forms of fuel surcharge by airlines and road taxes for the building of road (because they use the tar/bitumen) and many more excuse charging us but let us just leave all that out of our calculations.

As far as I know, only the politicians who live in Putra jaya and come for their Parliament meetings in Kuala Lumpur (approximately 60+ km) are the ones to gain as they claim their fuel and toll charges from the money of the RAKYAT's TAX.

It is so disappointing to see this happen time and time again to the Malaysian public, where they are deceived by the propaganda held by the politicians and the controls they have over the press.

Which stupid idiot economist equates rebates for rich or poor with the cc of the vehicles? An average office clerk may own a second hand 1300cc proton Iswara costing $7,000 (rebate = $625) while the Datuk's children can own a fleet of 10 new cars of BMW, Audi and Volvo all less than 2000cc costing $2 millions and get a total rebate of $625 x 10 = $6,250! Wow what kind of economists we are keeping in Malaysia ...wonder which phD certificate that they bought from...

Misleading concept of Subsidy:

The word "subsidy" has been brandished by the BN government as if it has so generously helped the rakyat and in doing so incurred losses. This simple example will help to explain the fallacy:

Example:
Ahmad is a fisherman. He sells a fish to you at $10 which is below the market value of $15. Let's assume that he caught the fish from the abundance of the sea at little or no cost. Ahmad claims that since the market value of the fish is $15 and he sold you the fish for $10, he had subsidised you $5 and therefore made a loss of $5.

Question : Did Ahmad actually make a profit of $10 or loss of $5 which he claimed is the subsidy?

Answer:
Ahmad makes a profit of $10 which is the difference of the selling price ($10) minus the cost price ($0 since the fish was caught from the abundance of the sea). There is no subsidy as claimed by Ahmad.


The BN government claims that it is a subsidy because the oil is kept and treated as somebody else's property (you know who). By right, the oil belongs to all citizens of the country and the government is a trustee for the citizens. So as in the above simple example, the BN government cannot claim that it has subsidised the citizen!

Nice Name

This time I’m going to introduce a restaurant which I never tried before coz im not suitable for the restaurant. Im not match with the mood of the restaurant. Why I say so? There is one Chinese saying that: “人不怕生坏命,最怕改坏名。”

Lets see what is the name of this restaurant.


(Location: A housing area near HSBC bank)












So if you are someone that cant sit still for long time, cant survive without talking and laughing, then you should not go for the this restaurant. I really cant understand how come the owner can apply such funny funny name. zzz.

Dont buy car ady......

These few days, the topic and the news title were surrounding the issue of dramatic hike increase of the fuel. Every people are being burdensome by this sudden high increment. Although im not an owner of a car, however, I can feel the pain due to this ‘fxxking’ increment.

As the cost of living in Msia is getting higher and higher, public hardly can afford to the rising. It is definitely will have chain reaction from this fuel price increment, but the government said that the public cannot increase their prices with the excuse of fuel price increased. However for large corporation, such as TNB, they can raise their price. Other networks such as the bus system, the flight service, taxi services and so on, how are them going to live?

Inevitably, the resources of petrol is going to a lower level, the cost for grinding of coz hiking for going deeper under the earth, however, price increment should go by stages and not by just one go. Our government is very ‘smart’ enough to compare with other non-oil-producing country. Why not they compare with Brunei and Arab? No matter how the oil price flow in the market, be it increase or decrease, as an oil producing country, we just absorbed the negative impact and reflect it to the people. It’s so sarcastic!!! We can imagine how well the management team is?

Our minister said that they will monitor other businesses to ensure that there are no people exploit the excuse of price increase in raising their selling price. However, can they really do so and go into every corner, every single shop to ‘audit’? It will just consume much more human power and our paid tax income!!

Another said that, it might be a temporarily condition until an effective fuel subsidy management system is developed. It might be having a cut in future, but will u believe in them? Once increased, there is no turning point, those are just words to cheat the public. If u r making a profit with this figure, will u reduce it for human sake? No kidding man!!!!

When can our country improve? When can it be a well-developed country? When the Wawasan 2020 being accomplished? With all the stupid policies, and stupid management team, we will soon being kicked off from developing country list as we are remaining at the same situation after so many years with lots of profitable raw materials not being nicely managed. There are lots of profitable income that Msia can earn, such as the richness of raw materials, the transportation network, but how come they still encountering a deficit problem? ???????? Lets see what the new government can do for us……

Recently, I don’t know am I being affected by my working environment or is my self-interest. Last weeks, I always playing around figures such as the inflation rate, GDP, all kind of comparisons and interpretation. There are some so call country fact base slides and it arose my interest in such context. Previously, when the news talking about economic site, the rate, the share market, I will definitely turn away and get back to my own thing. But, now I pay attention in their announcement of inflation rate and so on, I will check the stock price, the KLCI, since all these figures are useful in setting a benchmark for measuring the company performance. Although, I still not so familiar with how the system goes, but at least I will learn about it.

After 1 week training

Started work for one week in Prudential, wake so early in the morning around 6.30 but i still maintain with my previous sleeping time, after 12am. You all must be wondering, how come i still can maintain such life for working. I shud be damn slpy and cant work at all during office hour. Indeed, i really too sleepy and when im reading slides, i nearly fell aslp.

First day, i was given a laptop without any instructions. Me, so chicky, pretend to be very busy and very 'aggressive' reading all the slides and file available in the pc. I read many files with my eyes half closed, and until lunch time, my AM asking me that what am i doing. I said nothing. She curiously asked me:" You are not reading some specified things?" I said nope. She told me that i definitely cant understand what is in the file and it is useless to read all those stuffs as thy were over.

Hence, she was giving me another task to do but still reading. She passed me a new folder where it contains all the documents on the project i hav to follow up in future. She said i would be involved in this project for my training. I was lightened up and thought it must be something interesting. Indeed, it was sumthg quite new and i did wish to learn bout it. I was glad that i had sumthg to do at last.

Evening time, i was assigned a task which was drawing chart by using excel. Since this was other department task, she just asked me voluntarily help her friend who were from other dept. I said ok fine... Its ok with me. After i finished, i have to teach the girl at tomorrow morning. AM teased me that, im so 'powderful' that a trainee can teach an old staff here. zzZZzzZzZzzz

However, i did found that excel can really draw a lot things and all were very basic things which i should have know it. The only difference is that they are using it in a professional way, make it looks more 'canggih' in terms of presentable ways. I was so contented that i can produced such a nice chart in powerpoint as well. Learned some of the presentable skills that equipped me in future.

During my free times after done with my chart and slides, i was so free to surf net. However most of the websites were blocked for security purpose. The only email i can access is hotmail but i cant reply or send mail out. So damn fark!!!! Being paiseh on doing other things when others are damn busy with their stuff, i read newspaper. Its common and shud b normal for everyone. However, i no viewing those nation affairs but business news. At least others would think that i was so independent that i will learned about the trend whenever i free. In face, i was just so stupid enough knowing nothing in the industry.

During the gathering with my coursemates, they told me their 'philosophy' that learned during their first week of training. They said that as an intern, never do things fast as you will be very free after finishing the task assigned and i just found that its pretty true. However, i cant make it as whenever i was given a task, i will get stress and will try finish it not on the time, but by the time.

Haiz, 8.39pm (sunday), 12 more hours, i will back to the life of working again, and i start getting boring of this life. I dont want to work, can i? Or can i start work at 10am? haha, very sleepy leh......zzZZzzZzZ

Pre-KL life

Came to KL for 5 days ady. Everyday i just stick to my pc and seldom go out have a walk. The second day i reached here, i went for recognising the route to my working place by driving tru and flo. At night i just stay in my room playing games and watching movies brought from my home. The life is terrible as there are no internet connection not even for a tmnet homeline. I even brought some old movies which i watched before to entertain myself. I re-installed old games to play such as football and so on.

Besides the boringness, the cost of living here quite exp as well. A lunch with 3 dishes costs me RM3.50 over KK sabah but it cost me almost double here.I really cant believe it that a normal food stall can have such a high price. zzzz...

Luckily on thursday, Miss Chin acc me to go for shopping and i did buy something for my future work. I bought long sleeves shirt and a bag as well.Special thanks to her coz she bought nothing but just being my designer and advicer....haha.

Worrying my future life now..Dont know how it will be at my first working day. THis day is getting nearer and nearer to me. The fear is crippling me. I foresee my future life in KL. Wake early in the morning and have to slp early at night. Will i used to this kind of life? It has to be maintained till the day i retired. Arh!!! really horrible....

Can i din work? Can anybody just pay me? Can anybody k for my rest of my life? Haha. These kind of words doesnt seems logical uttered from my mouth. LOL.

p/s: coming soon is my life in sabah for 3 years..

Beginning of new phase of life

Back hometown for ady one week. Did nothing and go no where, just remain at home. Maybe some of those from sabah would ask me, why i will back so soon instead of staying in sabah for few more days to enjoy or maybe relax, since i having nothing to do at my hometown as well.

In fact, i was quite in a rush for the early flight back to my hometown. It just seems like i have no enough time to do my own things. Recalling the night before my flight i just slept for 2 hours coz i have to pack my things as well as clearing my house for future juniors move in. Once woke, i didn't stop at all and keep on doing on something. Haihz....

Of course i will miss some of the days over KK, and some of the people in KK. No matter how, we went on for 3 years ady. Either good or bad, they still inside my heart. However for the KK town, i presumed that i wont miss it. But it is hard to say in some other days maybe.

I always complained that i dislike sabah, and i would like to leave it asap. The time now reached. I do have no reason to back sabah besides my convocation. That would be my last time to be in sabah. In my mind, 3 years life in Sabah just to exchange for a scroll. A scroll that i dont know how far it worth in the future.

Soon, i will be getting into another phase of life - my working life. I always worrying that i might be a damn idiot in the company as i felt that i learned ntg in these 3 years of school life. Some lecturers receive complaints that the students that undergoing their industrial training were lack of critical skill. I afraid i might be the next to 'provide' this complaint. I dont know what i can do and i dont know what is my value? (of course not of the Great Eastern slogan - what is your number? )

Hoping that i can succeed in my career life and i wont be a parasite in the society. Wishing that everything can goes well as planed in my mind.

p/s: all the best for all my friends that facing the same situation as me....we will succeed togeder!!!! miss all of you....
