Week 2

It's already 2 weeks since I started working. Things were going real fine. There are still so much to learn about the organization of this huge company, their businesses and their operation technically. Ah I just wish my brain has a memory slot just like my phone so that I can have 16 GB memory card containing all the info I need to be able to perform well. lolz Started shifting some of my stuffs from hotel to my house after cleaning. Housemates were not around, one went oversea while the other might be offshore, I dunno. Car purchase was doing well. Consulted a bank officer and found out the interest rate for 1 year old Myvi is 3.75%. That is exactly the same value of a new car, 7 years loan. Wow, now I'm getting a good bargain. I appreciate the fact that I am now already got a job and working whereas globally, the economy aren't performing well.

Stupid engine

Today, I was trying to go to E-Mart near to Curtin University area but on the main road, I went on straight instead of turning to the right. That made me heading to Brunei, ahahahaha. I obliged to speed limit, well it's a policy. But after 15 minutes driving on the road I finally found a U-turn. But that was my limit. I was frustrated that I let the car build up to 120 in 4th gear. To my horror, when I pressed the clutch to shift, the car revved to almost 6k rpm, before continuing to 140. Nice power but stupid engine. I think Proton owner can blame high FC on the auto-rev feature which come standard when you press the clutch. I wonder how those supported can think of associating this engine characteristic to a V-Tec engine. Campro is far from V-Tec.... If I could have a Mini Cooper S to drive to Brunei...lol

1 Week In Miri

So, I've started working since last Monday, went through orientation programme organized by Crown Relocation. Got a company car, though it will last for 1 month, 30 days to be exact and also 1 week through accomodation luxury in Imperial Suite. I was fast indeed, maybe acted too desperate. In the one week time, I had also secured a room to stay after 1 month and also a personal car to drive. All in one week, I barely enjoy adapting to living in Miri, I rather say that I put my effort in Miri assimilation. I've been through Merdeka in my suite alone, ah very peaceful, no accomodation research, no transportation research. It was all sorted out! Tomorrow may appear to be my 'start' working date because my boss is back. I will have my roles and responsibilities explained soon!
