SRD trip 16.6.09








Morning, I woke up yawning before coffee and I can assure you that Dynasty Hotel is 'clean'. Believe me, I've been through the night in the room and nothing happened except that my bedside lamps kept flickering in a 'communicative' manner even when the switches were off.


Again, I shared cab with a friend to Piasau Camp, where the srd was held. My assignment was the earliest, starting with individual case study. Performance wise, I was just so so. Did not have enough time to elaborate.


Then, it was followed by group case study. Again, performance wise was so so. Did not do well in the press conference part tho.


A friend of mine, Yik Joo, took me and Qian Hui for short tour around the town. Actually both the ladies are closer friends that I am. But never mind, I enjoyed the tour and introduction to Miri town. The ais kacang was something special, well mine was named special.

Then, we went strolling around Luak beach before visiting a recreational park with suspension bridges and finally dinner. It was Yik Joo's treat, thanks, but next time it shall be mine. Hahaha.


So I left Miri for civilization at night ( not insulting Miri, but it is rather dead at night, really). Stayed awoke for hours before I can finally reach home, Penang, 8am on the next day.

What a day!

Leisure Driving

I've just returned from driving around Miri. From Miri Airport bypass to Miri-Pujut road. I stopped by a bakery to ease my stomach after paying so much attention on the road. (maybe it's the brunch, not the drive..lol) When I returned home. I felt so wasted. The road is not twisty and I wasn't even in a fun hot hatch. I was doing a spirited driving in a TOWN CAR! Boring. If I were to be relocated back to KL someday, bet that I would get a car that I could appreciate the thrill of driving up to Genting once in a while for a short getaway from the city. Well, Miri aint city... there's no my claimed 'getaway' for me here. Nevertheless, my current car is a decent one, a nippy zippy town car. Just that sometimes it serves the wrong purpose. Tried hard to cope with my demand. lol. I'm not abusive of my car. I'm more of touge style that drag. I guess 2 more tyres are ready to go. In short, the car is here to stay although it did not really meet my expectation. ...

easier said than done..

A recent conversation with a friend made me realise there are so much things, when said is ideal, when done might turn out to be less pleasant. Well of course one cannot run away from continuously managing an activity or action so that it does not turn ugly at all. Continuous management is what human tend to call, commitment. And who the hell made that word up, I've missed an M the first time I wrote it! As far as I lived to write this post today, I am 'proud' to still not tied down by the human-termed 'commitment'. I can have all the 365 days for myself, all my earnings for myself (of course I voluntarily treat my family which made me happy, and that's what I do for myself too) and all the time for myself. I can safely assume that I have almost zero commitment. Probably as the level of maturity heightens with age, responsibility and commitment come into play naturally. Not sure if from zero to hero sounds great when it is about commitment to everyone but I gues...

we asked for it..

I was surfing the internet for privileged banking criteria as I really hate queuing in the bank just to handle some small matter. Not that I am earning loads, but I am looking forward for the day. ... until I came across a forum where a person mentioned, with ebanking, transactions are done without even leaving your home. Ah, that's right. Most of the time now, I just manage transactions via online banking. Probably larger sum requires me to visit the branch but common people can just manage their account in front of their laptop. So, I thought, probably 10 years ahead, there will be only 2-3 frontline bankers in each branch rather than the sum we have now. Same to many industries, with expansive of specialization and automation, probably the world might need more maintenance technician rather than the person who once did the job before machines took over. Hahaha... sounds terminated? I'd rather say retrenched (similar terminated term in workforce hahah) Similar to LEAN. LEAN i...
