Life update

It felt so different since I return to Miri from Penang. Before returning to Penang, I find Miri quite an okay place to live, reasonable and edible food, slower paced life. But after CNY in Penang, I felt that I've missed the life on the fast lane. Good food, good entertainment and near to family (that minuses the freedom actually, lol)

My car front suspension noise now is getting worse. Perhaps it's time for repair, again. Found out that the car brakes aren't effective enough after driving only vios, a budget toyota. Harsh ride, bad NVH, terrible gear changes (auto unfortunately) and sluggish. But what could I expect for a 40k car with pretty low fuel consumption.

Visited Labuan for the second time. This time is a business visit to contractor site to familiarize on drilling and logging tools. I was so blur there as I'm from environmental team but luckily, colleagues and contractors clarified and explained me through. It was a good exposure and It actually helped me to decide/ consider which career path that I actually prefer.

What else can you relate to CNY other than food and card game. Had plenty of food since the eve of CNY. Quite a couple of card games at colleagues house. Won a couple but still could not recover the SAI LANG lost before the year of *roar.

Business as usual. Worked from 7 to 5 now.. not 4 any more. Happy with current life but could be better.

All I must say, it's a week well spent.

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...

Why I Won't Consider a Korean Car?

Sorry if i am stereotyping, but after having driven a relative's car, a Hyundai Sonata 2.0 (A) for some time, I have come to a conclusion:- won't be tempted by cheaper koreans.... err korean cars. 1. It is not a new car anymore but I particularly hate the crashing sound of the dashboard everytime i go through some minor road undulations. Even a similarly aged Proton Wira does not produce such pronounced effect. 2. I don't know about their current offerings but that car has terrible build quality. I must admit that the car has some soft touch panels that are nice but they are terribly fitted together. 3. Fuel consumption is quite high. I think I should not be the only one complaining. Ask some Hyundai owners and most probably they'll tell you the same. 4. Seats are not supportive. Your butt may slide away from turning direction if you make it hard, thanks to super slippery, flat leather seats. Your butt keeps moving but the seat belts forcing your chest to stay.... maybe...
