A New Journey Has Just Begun


Here I am in Miri, and doing fine since I have been researching about the place through miricommunity forum.

It takes two flight from Penang to Miri and finally I have arrived at 3.30pm. Was greeted by Augustus from Crown Relocation who also sent me to Imperial Hotel.

Ah, now I have the one month long hotel stay. Darn it, the agent claimed that many of those like me chose Marriot Hotel instead. But my room is not bad, it's a big suite, with a small living hall, pantry, a separated bedroom and a washing machine. Now I don't have to send my clothes somewhere for laundry.

Connecting the hotel is the Imperial Mall. It's a pretty small mall, so I managed to venture the whole mall in less then 1 hour, with essentials bought.



Had my dinner at Ming Cafe. Serve non halal asian food. Price wise, very KL like but tasted different but not bad. Maybe I was still full. Or maybe something different in terms of cooking style or the rice used.... or i was just too fussy!

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...
