somewhere there ~~

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.

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

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!

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!

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...

Introducing my new computing device, Acer Aspire One netbook. I have been using my Compaq Presario laptop for a while now and it's time to change to something lighter so I can carry it around whenever I travel. Specification speaking, it is not as powerful as my good ol' compaq. What do you say to Intel Atom 1.6Ghz vs Core 2 duo 1.6Ghz? Lousy maybe but this netbook costs twice cheaper than the compaq that I've bought 4 years back. This Acer is upgraded to 2 GB Ram but still, I can feel slight lagginess whenever I run Media player, Chrome, Messenger and Words. Netbook is capable of playing some online mmorpg games. Tried SuddenAttack and suprisingly, it is still smooth but 10.0" screen will demotivate your eyes to focus on the tiny crosshair. lol Netbook is quite fantastic if you are a 24hrs downloader. It generates very little heat compared to my compaq, which I need a cooler otherwise it will auto shutdown. It's also very gentle on electricity comsumption. What el...

Long sleeved t-shirts and slacks will replace my current casuals
