In a blink, 2012 is coming to an end. Who says the world is
going to be flooded by the melting of icebergs? Who says the 2012 movie is
actually based on scientific studies that the world will ends by 2012? I am
still here, living in a tiny dot on Jarsoom (Earth), writing this piece of blog

Well, I went against my promise earlier to do a follow-up
from my previous post. This is because the result wasn’t appealing, wasn’t to
my favor. It was an incomplete effort being put in, due to unforeseen reasons
which forbid me to advance further. Nevertheless, it was a great yet exciting
experience which I will treasure. They always say, there are two sides of a
coin. Who knows the coin may flips, favoring myself?</div>

This year has been the very challenging, yet interesting and
mind-torturing year. There are things which I gained, and also things I lost in the
process. Work-wise, it was colorful, filled with ocean, nature and fire. The so-called people with wisdom always say, “You will achieve success when you meet this one man.
He will change your life if you meet him. You have to go on this quest, to
search for this special man”. Sounds like Frodo Baggins or Karate Kid. This is
actually true, surprisingly. I have met two bosses, who have helped me so much
along the journey, providing me with all the knowledge, the skills, the PRs
that I need to survive in the competitive environment. My deepest appreciation
and gratitude towards the two bosses I have in my department. In other aspects,
I have also been leaders for several functions, and a Project Manager as a
title for a start. Rocky roads, but resilience and perseverance overcome all!
Even, I had an opportunity of a lifetime to join Mega-Project, yet the dream
was not materialized. Disappointed at first glance, but life-goes-on. </div>

Work-life balance. As Jack-and-Jill story is made into an
idiom, “All Work No Play Makes Jack A Dull Boy, And Jill A Dull Girl”, I digested
this quote, and came out with an ultimate plan! If you are close to me, you
will agree on my next statement. I am a Badminton-Freak! I am a Sports-Freak! I
have never turned down any request to play badminton nor swimming! Speaking of
which, that’s also one of the things which I have focused my life much onto,
reason being that Bintulu has nothing much to offer except Work, Sports,
Drinks! I have taken up the habit of weekly drinking session with buddies, and
sing some crowd-cracking karaoke songs (fyi, always the same songs) in the
public just to release some stress, and maybe impress some ladies in the bar?
Nah… if that’s true, i wouldn't be single by now.</div>

I have been to several new places this year. Besides the
frequent Kuala Lumpur, and also spontaneous Kuching-stop-by to gather with
close friends, I have visited Vietnam with a bunch of great friends, and
Australia with the most precious people in my life. I used to dream going
Overseas, looking at a different perspective of a country, admiring their
culture and mega-architectures. To my conscious, the excitement before going,
and already step foot on their land, is really sky-and-sea difference. If I were
to describe the excitement level, before and after, it’s 90% vs 20%. I wonder
why. Is this a Syndrome or what? But, I still love travelling nevertheless.
Another new place which I have made effort to stop by, was Kota Kinabalu. Well,
things happened there, but I will keep it to myself for now. This is an amazing
place which have lotsa nice foods and picturesque island for lovebirds or bunch
of friends to spend their time, bonding with each other. </div>

Upcoming, I will be visiting Bali, and maybe Germany this
year. I have yet to plan for 2013, but USA is on the line for my brother’s
convocation, and Taiwan for leisure. Europe is on my next hit list, yet I need
to source for companionship to start a euro-backpacking-tour. Financially, I have
been dropping tremendously, with the line chart starts to have sharp dip
towards the lower side of the graph. Oh well, money are to be spent, else what
are they for? This year has been 0-earning year for me. Nothing adds into the
basket, but strains of straws start to peel off. 2013 must be better, I will
see to that.</div>

<br />
Yes, nothing is certain in this world. It's pathetic, yet it is the ugly truth that everyone of us has to embrace. I have been dreamy of lots and lots of things, or even people. Among the few, are the basic dreams of all man :-<br />
<br />
- money-tree career<br />
- football-field-sized Villa<br />
- unlimited inflow of cash<br />
- ever-sporty 5000hp demon sport car<br />
- smoking-hot girlfriend<br />
<br />
Those may seem easily achievable on papers or plans, but they are not. It takes every drop of your sweat and every neuron in your brain to work those out for you. I have always fantasized about those luxury life where i have to not worry about anything else but how to spend those stashing up cash behind my garage. Those were the days when i was young, when i was small, when i was 7 years old.<br />
<br />
Reality is always ugly, and nothing beats the smack in the face when you have failed to fulfill everyone's expectation. From then on, i live up to expectation of all who have faith, who have believes, who have their trust in me. Throughout the ever-challenging years, i am who i am now, living up to my own expectation. I wouldn't boast about my achievements, yet they are not as proud as Mark Zuckerberg nor Justin Biebier who have made their fame and fortune before they are even categorized under the "mature" community. I am satisfied with my life now. The only imperfection i have, the only impairment which affects me the most now, is to find another half to complete the cycle of building up a family.<br />
<br />
I once had the chance to achieve those, where i would call it a "perfect life" with everything in place. However, life's unpredictable, similarly towards fellow homosapiens out there. What human needs are attention, care, concerns and attention again. I guess it's not easy to balance out the W-vs-W issue : Work vs Wife. Although i did not reach the stage of marriage, yet i have always assumed her as THE WIFE. I have always say this, "If Work doesn't weighs more, then the Wife will not get what she has always dreamed for". Nah...those are just how guys put on show to cover up their affection and responsibility towards their own career and work. Women need attention, plenty of attention. Once you have lost it, you lose her as well.<br />
<br />
A year had passed. Reminiscing back those 12 months, i barely achieve anything huge, anything commendable, anything worth to be boast about, of course, besides pampering myself with several wallet-torturing items. However, if she had not left, i would not realize how important friends can be in such depressing hours. I am relieve i have amended most of the broken bonds i had due to loss of contacts, laziness in catching up and so forth.<br />
<br />
I have spent the last 1 year doing some soul-searching, which includes self-assessment of my well-being as well as attitudes, identification of the weaks, and try to emphasize on the strongs! I am not Gay! I did soul-searching for the right woman who can actually fit into my lifestyle and common interest. As age starts to sum up, the criteria has changed too. I used to dream of a perfect woman with perfect look, average height, extremely down-to-earth family background, ambitious and discipline, and by saying that, i mean no drinking, no smoking, no frequent outing with guys. Now, i am more to a guy who look for the right woman, which i think she's the right one, regardless of how she looks, where she comes from, how did she make her way here, and what she does over the day and night. What matter most is the chemical between us when we are together, when we share our stories, when we share our thoughts, when we share our time, when we do things together. That, and only that, matters now.<br />
<br />
I couldn't deny that i have tried to look into a few options before this, and believe me, physical are not what i am looking for. In order to understand a person, you don't solely tell from their pictures nor the way the present themselves. You dig deeper. You ask around, you search around, you read around, you stalk around. Well, sound like a stalker indeed. But all those just show how dead serious i was when i am really into knowing someone. You wouldn't want to make another mistake in your life. Time's running out, and time wait for no man. I have always told those who have doubts in my way of handling relationship, and all i could say was "i am into a real serious relationship, and trying out are just not my option anymore". I guess that explains why i have actually kept a few kind and lovely souls out there disappointed. I am deeply sorry, but i have to convince myself first that i can actually commit before i let you commit to me.<br />
<br />
Now, i guess i have found The One again, and the crazily-expressed urge of wanting to see her, wanting to hear from her, wanting to say things to her resurfaced. I have not experienced this feeling for a long time, and it resurfaced. I am not sure if i am the right one for her, but i am pretty sure with her by myside, i would transform from the depressed pathetic dude where everyone despise, to the luckiest dude where everyone will envy for the rest of their life.<br />
<br />
I will DEFINITELY not screw this up, and i will try the very best in me, to tell her that i am worth her grasp! I may not be the perfect person, nor perfect gentlemen which she may have always wanted. But, i can assure her, she will have my 100% trust, 100% honesty, 100% love, sincerely pouring out, just for her. If i fail, i will put my guards down, and let the other destroy me. This is how confident i am in this!!<br />
<br />
I hope whoever reading this, will put their hands together, pray for my success. Although happiness lies in our own hand, but with your support and prayers, i will be blessed spiritually.<br />
<br />
My next update will tell, either i have succeeded, or i have failed.<br />

Just imagine, spending my life all alone without the other half, isn't easy at all, especially when I used to spend most of the special occasions with someone special. <div><br />
</div><div>Flipping back the pages, there were moments where i couldn't really let go, and also memories where i find in need for improvements. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Time flies. Time flies. Time flies. And it waits for no men. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Half year had past, and i spent most of it working, working and working. At the same time, wishing, wishing and wishing for what's impossible.</div><div><br />
</div><div>It seems like it's time to fill in the vacant position with someone who qualifies, who suits the position much better than the predecessor!!</div><div><br />
</div><div>Will i manage to do so? or will i just stood still and waits for nothing? You'll be my judge. </div><div><br />

That's the only thing in my mind right now. Unconsciously, it's already April 2011. Pheww!! What have i done for the past 1 year? I do not have any answer to it right now as i was too busy to reflect back on the things i have accomplished, and things i have sacrificed along the way.<br />
<br />
Just some vast difference in me lately : drinking and partying.<br />
<br />
I used to be a person without the urge to drop by places like Zouk, Thai Club, Beach Club, Ding Dang, Discovery, Wave etc... Definitely, drinking alcoholic drinks have never been into my interest for the past 25 years.<br />
<br />
However, i have took up this habit recently, which have led me to frequent happening places in Bintulu, just to have a chillax time with colleagues and friends. Perhaps it's the peer-influence factor, which managed to drag me into this kind of lifestyle. But i have to clarify here, nothing that i did there other than sitting around with a few sips of carlsberg or heineken. That's all i did.<br />
<br />
It sounds funny or crazy though, for me to drop by such a place just to have expensive drink and killing-effect towards my poor-functioning liver.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, this kinda life has been misunderstood by some of the people i care in my life, and it cost me a huge lesson to be learnt.<br />
<br />
Now, i am a person of my own thoughts.<br />
<br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;">Well, now it's the season for those post-SPM students to hunt for financial aids. I believe the only reason why a student strive so hard to excellence is because of the scholarship. I was shortlisted for 3 interviews, and i got 2 of them. The other one that i was not selected? JPA. Why? I guess i did not perform well during the interview. So, here's something for you to ponder onto if you are attending a JPA Scholarship Interview. </span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;">I sort of copied and paste from other people's blog, but it's really informative and useful. Do grab some useful notes from this.</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"><b></b></span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"><b>How will you be assessed?</b><br />
<br />
For the Foreign Degree Programme (PILN), the criteria for selection are:<br />
<br />
1. Academic excellence (70%)<br />
2. Interview (10%) - <b><i>Its only 10%, so don't worry too much </i></b><br />
3. Socio-economic background of parents (10%)<br />
4. Co-curriculum (10%)<br />
<br />
<b>About the interview</b><br />
<br />
- <u>Who will be conducting the interview</u>: Three government officers selected by JPA. They represent the three main races in Malaysia.<br />
- <u>Duration</u>: 30 minutes<br />
- <u>Language</u>: If you are asked in English, answer in English, and if you asked in Bahasa Malaysia, you MUST answer in Bahasa Malaysia. A previous interviewee told us that an interviewer got angry when a student answered in English when he was questioned in Bahasa Malaysia. He was told to answer in Bahasa Malaysia.<br />
<br />
<b>How is the interview done?</b><br />
<br />
Three students are interviewed at one go. These students do not have to be from the same course. They can be students who have applied for medical, dentistry and pharmacy. The interview is done in two sessions; Round 1: General Information and Round 2: Group Discussion.<br />
<br />
<b>Round 1</b>: <i>General Information</i><br />
<br />
1. Introduce yourself<br />
2. Explain why you chose the program<br />
3. Talk a little bit about your achievements in school<br />
<br />
<b>Round 2</b>:<i> Group Discussion</i><br />
<br />
This is a group discussion and you will be asked to discuss with the same group from round one. You will be given a few questions to prepare and the interviewers will see how you work as a team. You will be asked for your opinion on the topics. Be constructive and don’t try to ‘goreng’ too much. A student once said government doctors earn a lot of money and the officers were shocked and argued with him and said he didn’t do his research well. Try not to say things that you are not sure of.<br />
<br />
<b>These were some of the questions posed to JPA scholars last year.</b><br />
<br />
1. Please tell us a little bit about the smoking habit among Malaysians.<br />
2. What can we do to reduce the number of smokers?<br />
3. Should we allocate a huge budget for the public health system to give equal treatment to the smokers?<br />
4. What is your personal view about smokers who are still smoking even though the government has done a lot of anti-smoking campaigns?<br />
<br />
<b>What topics can be expected this year?</b><i> (my suggestions only)</i><br />
<br />
1. National unity - 1Malaysia - How to improve unity?<br />
2. Why scholars don't want to return to Malaysia and how to ensure they serve the nation after graduating<br />
3. Environmental issues - in line with Malaysia's commitment to reduce carbon emission to 40% by 2020 as announced by PM in COP-15<br />
4. H1N1<br />
5. Anti drug campaign effectiveness<br />
6. Privatisation of public healthcare in Malaysia<br />
7. Increasing number of medical graduates. <a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/55619-medicine-no-longer-route-to-riches-says-mma">More information</a></span><br />

Well, some updates about myself.<br />
<br />
From Feb till March, i have travelled a lot between the same destinations : Bintulu, Kuching, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Kuala Terengganu.<br />
<br />
So, here is goes.<br />
<br />
<b>1-6 February</b><br />
I attended Skill Group Training in Kuala Terengganu. I was so excited when i imagined myself in Kuala Terengganu as it was my first time stepping my foot there. I went there with 2 other colleagues, namely Zakiah and Azizul. We stayed at Felda Residence Hotel.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
FYI, that small town has nothing much to offer, except Mosques of different designs and architectures. The markets and shops close by 5pm. After 5, you have nothing much to see. OH ya, Taxi costs a bomb if you try to stop one.<br />
<br />
Transition, went to KL and stayed at Royale Bintang Hotel at Bukit Bintang. Not much review on that hotel. Not as extravaganza as the one at The Curve. Anyway, manage to spend some hours at Lowyat Plaza looking for some netbook. :P<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>14-21 February</b><br />
Went back to Kuching for Chinese New Year. Woohoo!! It's Tiger Woohoo!!! This is the first time in 6 years i have spent such a long time in Kuching during CNY. Before this, due to studies, the maximum i could spent in Kuching was like 4 - 5 days MAX. This year, i have basically spent nearly 12 days for CNY! That's great isn't it? Meeting with friends also very fun! The visitings and the yum-cha session @ The Tarrot Cafe, the Dota @ Jln Song.. One Word - SONG!!<br />
<br />

<br />
22 - 25 February<br />
Went to Port Dickson for DCS Upgrading Project's PRA (Project Risk Assessment). A big numbers of colleagues from MLNG was invited to attend. We stayed at Eagle Ranch Resort. Some story to tell about this resort. It's Different from other resorts that we usually visit. It's theme is "Cowboy Town". From that, we could sort of imagine how to place would be. Hehe..Very nice resort by the way.<br />
<br />
- Waterfall-like shower in the Log Cabin (Room) with fake fireplace<br />
- Red Indian Huts (Low cost room, with FAN)<br />
- Horses<br />
- Peacocks and Turkeys<br />
- Nice beach<br />
- Go-Kart Track<br />
- Paint Ball Ground<br />
- Flying Fox<br />
- 20-30 obstacles field<br />
and many more.<br />
<br />
But, the main attraction is the teambuilding facilities. Hence, many companies hold their teambuilding session there. Maggi was one of them. Nestle also. :) After 2 days there, feel boring d.<br />
<br />
Transition, went to KL and wanted to Stay at J.W.Marriot, but Full. Westin and Grand Millenium over budget, Park Royal Full House, ended up at The Coronade Hotel. Ha Ha Ha.<br />

<b>25-28 February</b><br />
Went back to Kuching to celebrate Chap Goh Meh! Didn do much, went for some Karaoke session @ the Josey.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1-3 March</b><br />
Attended Skill Group Training at Kuala Lumpur. Stayed at The Corus Hotel, opposite KLCC. Benefited a lot from this training cause the trainer was indeed Mantap! Explained every single thing in precise and clear manner. Thumb up to Mr. Rashdan.<br />
<br />
Among the activities i had there.<br />
1. Visited Quatro. Nice ambient.<br />
2. Visited Zouk. Bo Lang wan..<br />
3. Visited Beach Club. Cun!!<br />
4. Met Danny @ KLCC.<br />
5. Invited for Welcoming Dinner @ The Corus's Bar - free flow drink (win, beer, juices)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>18-21 March</b><br />
Went to Penang to visit Eileen and Baby Ball. Met up with Albin, Amira, Jessica and Pei Yue. My stomach got bigger after i left Penang. Food Heaven! YeAH!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>21-27 March</b><br />
Attended Transwater Training @ Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa. Very very fun! The training was comprehensive as well! The breakfast was normal, every morning the same menu. Lunch was super rich. Patutla Fairus posted in his FB "Chong Zhia Howe eating, perut mcm lembu". <br />
There, we went for Bowling for 3 consecutive days - skill masih lauya..total 7 games.<br />
Euphoria - Ministry of Sound. Cool.<br />
Ice Skating - Nice. Skated with Sean. Skated for 3 hours. After that, went to get my shoe after a suffering 3 hours. Poof. Shoe gone. Missing. StoLen by lowlife creature.<br />
<br />
Next day, went to KLIA. Saw the skaters i met during ice skating. Looked down, my shoe was in his foot. Sigh. I can never imagine it was a chinese who stole my shoe. Oh well, a lesson learnt. Never buy a shoe that costs more than RM200. This is the 2nd time stolen. Tiu!<br />
<br />
Anyway, i was awarded Best Student Award during the Training, and was given 500GB Transcend External Harddisk. On top of that, the souvenirs are Leather Luggage Tag, Wallet and Scheffer Pen. Thank you thank you.<br />

Now, i am back in Bintulu. Going for badminton with Pin soon. Till then.zhiahowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08332091137901651522noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071879743110797059.post-51250282351215192822010-01-16T18:27:00.000-08:002010-01-16T18:27:58.240-08:00A round of battle, and i lostSigh,,I think this is the season easiest for people to fall sick. The weather keeps on changing rapidly, unpredictable. One moment it was sunny, the next second it was a rainfall. No one could ever expect that, what more to say in Bintulu with the acid-enriched rain.<br />
<br />
Looking back at the time i went for PIPE, it has been roughly 9 months i have shifted myself to Bintulu. If i am not mistaken, this is the first time i caught a cold + fever + sore throat, and yes, it was suffering, sorry, IT IS Suffering.<br />
<br />
It all started from Tuesday, whereby i went for a continuous 6 sets of Badminton matches non-stop, and after 2.30 hr, i stopped, and went home. I had a plan in mind. I wanted to cook dinner that night, but it was already 10pm when i reached home, still sweaty. Hence, for the sake of not wasting anymore time, i went to took a refreshing bath, then proceeded to the kitchen to cook. Everything went fine, until the next day.<br />
<br />
I started to have slight running nose..and i start to feel a little bit floating..<br />
<br />
Thursday came..and it got worse..i felt weak..i felt hot n cold, i felt bad..it was a lot of shit then..So, i went to look for clinics that actually accept ING card.<br />
<br />
Let me list down a few.<br />
<br />
LKB Clinic (Medan Jaya) - Pulled back, no more supported by ING<br />
Bandar Jaya Clinic (Medan Jaya) - Don't have the swap machine<br />
<br />
LKB Clinic (MLNG Housing) - ING Card accepted<br />
Medan Jaya Clinic - ING Card accepted, but you need to queue for an hour or so..<br />
<br />
So, those are the clinics i went, and another Industrial Clinic in MLNG.<br />
<br />
Till now, it has been 4 days, and i have not gotten much better. I lost the battle to the bacterias in my body. I shall seek another savior today.

Many markets and industries have shown a positive growth as compared to 2009.<br />
<br />
Hence, especially people at our age. We should have an investment portfolio to hedge inflation.<br />
<br />
I have not started anything yet, but i would like to start a discussion on this topic. Please provide any relevant ideas on this.<br />
<br />
I have several things on my mind.<br />
<br />
1. Mutual Fund<br />
2. Gold Purchasing/ Selling<br />
3. Property/ Land Banking<br />
4. Equity<br />
5. Insurance + Investment Linked Products<br />
6. MLM Businesses<br />
<br />
<br />
I was told Mutual Fund is one of the best investment, for long term of course.zhiahowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08332091137901651522noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071879743110797059.post-78279184788971050752010-01-08T08:11:00.000-08:002010-01-08T08:11:26.153-08:0010 honest things about meGot tagged by <a href="http://crystalhew.blogspot.com/">Kah Ling</a>, so got to give her support lo..<br />

This year has indeed a challenging year, not only to myself, but also to the whole wide world. Reflecting on the Year 2009, so many incidents happened which will never ever been forgotten by all mankind, at least to those who concerns. To name a few, the Worst Economic Breakdown, Tiger Wood's Infamous Scandals, Highest Rate of Unemployment, The Appointment of Najib as Prime Minister of Malaysia, The World's Most Registered Couples on 09.09.09 and many more.<br />
<br />
<br />
Indeed, it has been fascinating to see America to sail through the post-iraq war while suffering a high unemployment rate due to the economic downfall. I guess Obama does has the lead there. However, it is also sad to hear many death cases in the East Malaysia whereby several casualties caused by Hornet's attack.<br />
<br />
<br />
Seems like the people on Earth are given challenges every year, for either 2 reasons i could think of.<br />
<br />
1. God doesn't want us to live in comfort zone. World without barriers is simply boring and unrealistic.<br />
<br />
2. God wants human to grow smarter and stronger. Each challenges posted to us are just a test to see whether we have actually learnt from the past mistakes.<br />
<br />
<br />
I am not an exceptional too. This year has been so exciting and interesting to me. Certainly, by saying that doesn't mean that everything went well for me, but at least, i have reached another milestone in my life journey. I will just start to chart my journey from January.<br />

Fortunately, some speculations have said that the economy will recover in year 2010 and 2011. How true can those speculations go? How about the YEAR 2012? No one has the answer.<br /><br />Let’s talk a while about a movie I had just watched recently. The movie entitled 2012. After watching the movie, I started to get worry about the current environmental issue as well as the climate change. Henceforth, what’s the point of having economic resurrection while we have other bigger problem to think of? However, it was just a movie, but it has sent a very important message to all mankind – “If we do not preserve the nature & environment, flora & fauna, and continue with massive development without any proper restoration plan, the earth will be left with its crust without any content within it”.<br /><br />Therefore, I would like to urge the people in this world to start putting more care into our surrounding, do not be financially-minded or self-centered. We are living on the same sphere, and no matter what activities we do on the other side of the world, it is all connected back to the center of the earth, the root. If we do not start to be GREEN, sooner or later the whole world will be CODE RED, and that’s the time where all our generation will engulf in the effects and consequences created by the early generations.<br /><br />Not only that, if it has reached to the level of world annihilation, like what the movie 2012 implies, no matter how hard you have fought all your life just to get the wealth what others have, it will be all gone in vain.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvGo2b_cbFXU9PytCQ79GZ-E2F5GMi5gx729FgFtKzEzDh6hybMVTlWFxsE0c_DTpwGz9fFG8Zlsp96hKw766wMyIIHvntznGHuJGtV-XbLSN2u6lyxfEx2df8nyfVSaJiR590-M77cXM/s1600-h/chocolatebeermushrooms.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 367px; height: 336px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvGo2b_cbFXU9PytCQ79GZ-E2F5GMi5gx729FgFtKzEzDh6hybMVTlWFxsE0c_DTpwGz9fFG8Zlsp96hKw766wMyIIHvntznGHuJGtV-XbLSN2u6lyxfEx2df8nyfVSaJiR590-M77cXM/s400/chocolatebeermushrooms.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414204558894184514" border="0" /></a><br />What I am trying to say is, no matter we are rich or poor, we can still contribute to the preservation of our mother nature. For the poor, we can stretch out our hand to give our some help and energy – less open burning, do not litter, planting trees etc. For the rich, you can extend some financial support to the “Save the World” campaign, use less air-conditioning, cut less trees, plant more trees around house compound etc.<br /><br />There are so many things can be done to reduce the effect of human activity towards the devastation of the earth. Let’s start today by driving a clean-emission vehicle. Send your car to repair it is generates black smoke.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht0WiyJuO8PIroGYxs_l2lj-2RK0ttXeyS-rhr1QHk4lbMEre6AvHL1HLRLIIgesDs1UUkRcbp0Rc_jPdaX4CWBQeXqQ2fXS3K1PIX83xHQcbIuujdqdp9GkNKAnkKYXhHXfpmNCqXNbE/s1600-h/SaveTheWorld6.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 397px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht0WiyJuO8PIroGYxs_l2lj-2RK0ttXeyS-rhr1QHk4lbMEre6AvHL1HLRLIIgesDs1UUkRcbp0Rc_jPdaX4CWBQeXqQ2fXS3K1PIX83xHQcbIuujdqdp9GkNKAnkKYXhHXfpmNCqXNbE/s400/SaveTheWorld6.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414204556819513506" border="0" /></a><br />We have drifted quite far from the main path. Let’s head back to the highway and get back on the road.<br /><br />Wants Versus Needs. This term is no more strangers to those who are trying so hard to survive in the current economic crisis. However, I would like to stress it once again here, because human tend to be so forgetful, and they have the tendency to forget what they have learnt whenever they are too obsessed with the things they have dreamt of for so long.<br /><br />What if we didn’t want anything? Would our lives be dull? How can one find balance between wanting and having?<br /><br />It’s a great question. What if we could break free from want? For myself, reducing wants has played a fundamental role in helping me improve my finances. When I stopped wanting so many things, I stopped spending. I stopped feeling bad that I didn’t have things. I became more satisfied with who I am and what I have.<br /><br />We have been brought up by our beloved parents. How did they manage to bring us up strong and healthily? All of these credits have to go to their effort in leaving home early in the morning and coming home at late evening just to earn a living. They have been working hard for so many years, just to give a spoonful of meal to your mouth. They have been telling me, “Money is not easy to earn, so be thrifty”. I have never understood that until I finally step foot into the society, and starting to get my pay slip every month.<br /><br />Ever since, I have controlled myself quite strictly. Every single penny you spent, you have to think, “It is necessary? Is there any cheaper way to do this?”. I have controlled myself quite well, frankly speaking. I like many things, I like many cars, I like many equipments. With the amount I earn each month, it can fulfill my basic needs, but not the luxurious ones. Hence, I have restricted myself from spending unnecessarily.<br /><br />I have to put aside all the branded items, all the hundreds-of-dollars equipments and clothes. This is the point I realized that, “It was hard for my parents to spend on unnecessary things which I requested once upon a time. But, they did buy for me in the end”. How noble they are.<br /><br />So, I believe that it is wise to just buy what are needed and not things that we want. The difference lies on the necessity of it. For example:<br /><br />Needs – Shelter, Food, Clothes, Shoes, Haircut, Wallet<br /><br />Wants – Honda City, Bungalow, Ralph Lauren Perfume & garments, 50” Plasma TV, Nike Pegasus …<br /><br />You get the difference? Spending of your needs mean to satisfy your basic requirement in your daily lives. You need shelter to keep you dry, you need clothes to keep you warm and unexposed, you need haircut to keep you tidy, you need shoes to protect your foot from cuts and injuries, you need wallet to keep your bank card, money, IC..<br /><br />But, wants are just an extra to your needs. With the NEEDS and without the WANTS, you can still survive well. BUT, if you have the WANTS, but you don’t even have the NEEDS, you can barely live well, I would say. I am not saying that you should not spend on the WANTS, but, spend wisely. You can do a long term planning for all the WANTS you want, provided that you have all the NEEDS in place.<br /><br />By doing so, you can save quite a huge amount of cash for emergency, spoon feeding your lovely children, bringing your love ones on a romantic vacation. Just imagine, if you stop buying a perfume each month, in a year, you are going to save more than RM2k. Like what I mentioned, long term planning of 5 years. After 5 years, you can bring your love ones to Bangkok/ Bali/ Myanmar/ Cambodia for vacation with the RM10k you have saved over the years. It’s a FREE TRIP if you look at it this way, right?<br /><br /><o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDA2_kpKyc6UYLat5gimfjIKFwOFLw0pK0FQp1lftmfBrJMlTfDHAmUQDUbnBhNfMgc4E5LeluBkLFNLyRMyK-xCP8s7NMVTwqJvixCIrDP1696WhUwd6EhxMTyY56fBVwXP5vgDDZ6L0/s1600-h/cg0580want.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 290px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDA2_kpKyc6UYLat5gimfjIKFwOFLw0pK0FQp1lftmfBrJMlTfDHAmUQDUbnBhNfMgc4E5LeluBkLFNLyRMyK-xCP8s7NMVTwqJvixCIrDP1696WhUwd6EhxMTyY56fBVwXP5vgDDZ6L0/s400/cg0580want.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413929048918292450" border="0" /></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>Of course, sometimes you still need to reward yourself for all the hard work you have put in. Therefore, it is not wrong to reward yourself with some luxuries and branded item once in a while.<br /><br />I do not know how to put these in words, but, just bear in mind. There is no better way to be financially free than having the discipline in you. Just make sure you get the right mindset, and strive towards it. Stick to it for at least 15 years. After that, you can slightly shift your mindset a little bit to the wants.<br /><br />This is just my own personal opinion. Please give comments if you think otherwise.

Let's have a look at what the say:<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);">The relationship between needs and wants is an important lesson for your children to learn and understand. A need is something an organism must have in order to survive. For example, people need air, food, water, and shelter. A want is something someone would like to have. For example, bikes, video games, and televisions are all wants; people can survive without them. Encourage your children to think about their needs and wants.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);">Many people have jobs and work to earn money in order to meet their needs and wants. We recommend watching the Dollars and Cents movie together as a review. Explain to your children that people can use their money to buy goods and services. Goods are things that are made or grown and usually something you can see or touch. Have your children look around them and find examples of different goods.<br /><br />Remind your children that crops are goods. A service is work that someone does for someone else. For example, an auto mechanic provides the service of repairing vehicles, a teacher provides the service of instructing students, and a doctor provides the service of monitoring patients health and treating illnesses.<br /><br />Discuss different services that people need and offer. A producer is someone who makes or grows goods or offers services. Farmers, carpenters, librarians, and manufacturers are examples of producers. A consumer is someone who buys goods and services. Have your children identify different items they consume and think about who might have produced them.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);">Your children should understand that people often want much more than they need. As a result, people must make choices about what they truly need and what they can afford. Offer different scenarios to help your children learn how to make smart choices with money. Should someone buy pet food and groceries or buy a new video game?<br /><br />Children should learn to buy what they need before what they want. Also help children become smart consumers by researching products and learning about where their money goes when they purchase a good or service. Why should you buy products made from recyclable materials? Why should you support local businesses in your community? By teaching the basic principles of economics and instilling responsible consumer skills now, your children will learn how to make smart and globally conscientious choices as adults. </span><br /><br /><br />Another source says:<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);">Everyday life is filled with choices of needs and wants. Some are harder to determine than others. Some are relatively simple.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);">Let’s take a trip to (insert favorite grocery store here, Publix for me). Veggies, check. Juice and milk, check. Cheeses and lunch meats, check. Magazine aisle, hurry Greg run! That’s the easy ‘want’ to skip, well not that easy but one I know that should be an easy skip.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);">The hard want is on the snack isle. Even with the recent burst of “Natural” and “Organic” chips and snacks that are flooding our grocery stores, where does the need for a quick bite become a want for great taste, or to fill a quick craving? Unnecessary foods are a big cause of weight gain when associated with laziness. Chips while playing video games or downloading music, even if natural or organic, is just an extra intake of calories without the burning.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);">Ok. Next scenario, which Chris gets me all the time for. Gadgets or big purchases. Just got my iPod Touch. No matter how I convince Chris and Jen that I can use it for business, storing presentations, videos and more, it is nothing more than an expensive ‘want.’ Now I can say that I had a little extra hard-earned cash laying around for the purchase, which made it less stressful.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);">Stress is a major player in living organic and fit. Making unnecessary ‘want’ purchases can add extra-unneeded stress. But can NOT having these extreme wants put extra stress on our bodies and minds?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);">I think the answer is a big fat yes. I know that when I have my mind set on a ‘want’ purchase, I am filled with as much stress about how to obtain it then after I load up the credit card when I shouldn’t have. How do we cure this?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);">I think the answer lies somewhere within our own cravings and thoughts. A little self-discipline can go a long way. Instead of stressing on the things we ‘want,’ we should focus on our needs and indulge in impulse purchases for wants. This will relax the brain when knowing that your needs are covered, and please and satisfy the brain when you have surprises in your life.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);">I “need,” no, ‘want’ your thoughts. Living Organic and Fit has a lot to do with your mentality and how you view both yourself and the world around you. Finding your needs and assessing your wants will clear up your perceptions and allow for relief and destressification (I think I just made that up) of your life.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);">So here’s to a little self-indulgence for when your needs are met and there is no stress on ‘want’ expenditures.</span><br /><br /><br />Hence, digest yourself, and be enlightened.zhiahowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08332091137901651522noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071879743110797059.post-52543514513701216022009-12-09T02:18:00.000-08:002009-12-11T20:51:20.913-08:00Miri Outing 27-28 NovMiri, the City of Oil. For those people who have not heard of Miri before, you might have heard of Lutong. So, that's what Miri is all about. Another fact is that, Miri has just upgraded its status to City several years back. Before that, it was just an oil town with no major development, BUT it is frequent by Bruneians every weekend. Why? It's the same theory why Singaporeans go to Johore during the weekend as well. If you still can't get it, perhaps you can do the same thing which happened in Kota Bharu Mall just recently - a car slam through the shopping complex's wall, and flew down all the way in between the escalator, and terminated TWO pitiful souls.<br /><br />So, this trip was supposed to be fish-survey trip, which initially inclusive of Gerry and Amier. However, the closer it gets, more and more people joined the bandwagon. It was GREAT!!<br />Thus, there were 7 of us in total - Zhia Howe, Chen, Kenneth, Melissa, Gerry, Amier and Jalen. Later in the afternoon, 2 more joined the trip - Grace and Loo. Well, their participation were actually unexpected, as there were slight miscommunication between the housemates (Mel, Ken, Loo....n ...Grace). It's a long story, but just note that it was a funny yet hilarious moment.<br />So, Gerry drove his City Babe while Chen drove his X-Trail Cougar.<br /><br />We departed at 8.00am, and had our breakfast at the famous Kolo Mee shop in Medan Jaya. There, we met Jeremy, and as common and as usual, sending his car for some inspection. I have to thank Jalen for the Kolo Mee treat. :)<br /><br />At roughly 10pm, off we go to Miri. Our first destination was Bintang Mall. I guess the only thing we did there were : Surveying Fitness Equipments, Popular Book Fair, Mc Donalds, Trying out OSIM and OGAWA massage chair, Playing some toys in <a href="http://www.toysrus.com.my/inside/Diapers.htm" class="l" onmousedown="return clk(this.href,'','','res','2','','0CBcQFjAB')">TOYS"Я"US</a> meeting up Sim and Ying Ying.

Guess~</span><br /></div><br />Then, i left that place with Amier and Gerry to some Aquarium shops to hunt for, erm, i don't really know what they were looking for. But one thing for sure, they were just looking at small fishes like Guppies. As a person who's not so fond into small things, i chose to look at puppies and big fishes like Arowana, Kaloi and Flower Horn. We actually went to a few aquarium shops, just to survey the Guppies there. Quite interesting to know a few facts about Bettas too, such as Half Moon, Split tail and so forth. Amier is really the guy you should refer to when it comes to Guppies and Bettas Breeding.<br /><br />So, there goes our day time activity. We went back to Bintang Mall to meet up with the rest, and, at the same time, tried to convince Chen to stay back. The story goes like this. Chen initially planned to go for a day trip, and hush hush hush back to Bintulu to do some laundry and some cleaning work. After much persuasion, he turned in, and agreed to stay to join us. So, he had to shop for the things he had to use that night - shirt, trousers, the "triangle", toothbrush, shower gel... I got myself a piece of Cocoaberry.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj27LpzxqUvPmXZJDTBcjB3eURNSAbHPkr1uHJIi5IZHlgGjIMNkocMjvJtRWrlrbhbL3vJOqc5pgS3djkpnl9pThf1HrNJH1t6bZZQHyA2KwJiatuY_4OiI2x5-Ow9VNVa0BezW4V-RY/s1600-h/DSC00398.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 410px; height: 550px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj27LpzxqUvPmXZJDTBcjB3eURNSAbHPkr1uHJIi5IZHlgGjIMNkocMjvJtRWrlrbhbL3vJOqc5pgS3djkpnl9pThf1HrNJH1t6bZZQHyA2KwJiatuY_4OiI2x5-Ow9VNVa0BezW4V-RY/s400/DSC00398.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413179752313370978" border="0" /></a><br /></div><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-style: italic;">Cocoaberry</span><br /></div><br /><br />Our initial plan was to rent an apartment at Imperial Hotel. Unfortunately, it was fully booked that night. So, we have to proceed to Plan B. There were 3 cars, so each car was in-charge to look for any available rooms that night.<br /><br />Platoon A - Gerry's Car : Hunt for Mega Hotel, and any Cheapo Hotel..<br />Platoon B - Loo's Car : Hunt for Dynasty Hotel..<br />Platoon C - Chen's Car : Hunt for any other Hotels we could think of..<br /><br />And there we went, dropping off scouts all around Miri, looking for a shelter for the night. After roughly 45 minutes search, we had decided to stay at Gloria Hotel (forgot d actually). We took 2 rooms, One with 3 Beds, and another one with 4 Beds. Since there were 9 of us, we requested for another 2 extra beds to be placed in the room with 4 Beds.<br /><br />Then, i asked James to come over, and then we could go for dinner together. So, at roughly 9pm, we departed to Rumah Asap in Pujut for some Pork Meal. That was my first time in life to eat so much Pork within a meal. Just Imagine, Roast Pork, Roast Pork, Pansuh Babi, BBQ Pork, and whatever Pork you could thought of. We were bloated with Porks that night. Surprisingly, there were this sigh board showing "Kedai Babi", and now i know why.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAjYisB9uq4eDebJdXRU3lCcgkkHpbgirEd13uDSjD812zkSKYXXOHA0WhXwr_ckkUKyUA__1AlK3kmLE9eNFs9il4eb2jfq-FTsjqlOfbinMrO_DmE9XWxACpGAUt4CZ2nBQQCpMWSz8/s1600-h/DSC00399.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAjYisB9uq4eDebJdXRU3lCcgkkHpbgirEd13uDSjD812zkSKYXXOHA0WhXwr_ckkUKyUA__1AlK3kmLE9eNFs9il4eb2jfq-FTsjqlOfbinMrO_DmE9XWxACpGAUt4CZ2nBQQCpMWSz8/s400/DSC00399.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413179748017779362" border="0" /></a><br />After that killer meal, which we has agreed to post in FB with the comment "This is the best Hari Rxxx Kxxxxx Ever", we went to some pubs nearly. If not mistaken, its called "Island".<br /><br />There, all of us ordered some beer, and Jalen the ambitious, order "Around the World".

Everyone was damn tired. So, we went to bed quite early. Nothing special happened that night. Fingers crossed.<br /><br />The next day, we went to Ming's Cafe to have some breakfast. I think we sat there for nearly 2 hours don't we? Then. we went back to Bintang Mall again, coz Ken wanted to get himself a Bench + Dumbells. Amier went to GNCWell to get himself a new Protein. I guess in 3 months time, i am going to see the Muscular Pair - Ken & Amier.<br /><br />Loo and Grace went back early in the morning. I don't know the reason, but perhaps they have something else that day la.<br /><br />After buying all the things needed, we all departed in deep sadness. Chen went off early, while Gerry, Me and Amier went back to the Aquarium shop to buy fish, blood worm etc.<br />So, while waiting, i managed to snap some photo of the cutest thing in the world.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxgULmPOFRY0RqACLocXWC3PtgE22Zebr_bla-7O_Rb6K1xN0msQOK81yKKcLY_tNlQZyOBed8GESpPXLCFEpS4GXkBB7xQWfsQ15332PeZNPqWjJ-wI9DG3u0vmRpA6zojCYPuparXqc/s1600-h/DSC00402.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxgULmPOFRY0RqACLocXWC3PtgE22Zebr_bla-7O_Rb6K1xN0msQOK81yKKcLY_tNlQZyOBed8GESpPXLCFEpS4GXkBB7xQWfsQ15332PeZNPqWjJ-wI9DG3u0vmRpA6zojCYPuparXqc/s400/DSC00402.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413179734747146994" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2dpSZ7kddTVzdnt0Wprb9jCEHaIjfAX98-h0hxPiNoNfF_PXM3jAxpsFmNQxEVhrQ1FZNkL6x83LjMYEy4YBlLCraSNU0rMoaUx3AV-abJ05CbQMv7Pw8Y_CQSN_bobAEk3v6LOfTMsc/s1600-h/DSC00403.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2dpSZ7kddTVzdnt0Wprb9jCEHaIjfAX98-h0hxPiNoNfF_PXM3jAxpsFmNQxEVhrQ1FZNkL6x83LjMYEy4YBlLCraSNU0rMoaUx3AV-abJ05CbQMv7Pw8Y_CQSN_bobAEk3v6LOfTMsc/s400/DSC00403.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413179725894193074" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">And there, Best Miri Trip ever...hahaha</span>zhiahowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08332091137901651522noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071879743110797059.post-9770653242858034742009-12-08T22:14:00.000-08:002009-12-11T06:46:56.420-08:00Pikom PC Fair Bintulu 11-13 December 2009Guy!

This post is targeted at Malaysian readers, hence non-Malaysians readers might would like to skip this post unless they are interested in Malaysia’s local car industry.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Disclaimer</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">I am not the author of the following story, I received this via an email forward quite a long time ago. Spend quite some time digging this up as I can’t remember the title, the story is about two car manufacturing firms in Malaysia so I guess that only Malaysians can truly understand what it is talking about.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Proton vs Perodua</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Once, there was a family known as Malaysia. In 1985, they were blessed with their first born, Proton. The family loved Proton all they can.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">They gave Proton everything. They protected Proton from the bigger boys in Kindergarden. They told Proton, “You’re young, you need protection from them. It’s okay to make mistakes, you’re young. Even if you don’t learn from mistakes…it’s okay…you are young.”</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Proton became spoilt. He always depended on parents and used up all his allowance on useless things. When he had to do his chores, he paid people to do it and the work is lousy, causing the parents having to call repairmen to fix all the mess that he made.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Anyway, when Proton was 10 (but he still acted like he is 1 or 2 years old), he had a younger brother, Perodua. At first, everyone thought.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">This younger brother will be like Proton. Anyway, this new baby was more handsome and looks smarter than Proton. Malaysia knew there is a possibility Perodua could be smarter than proton. Since they love Proton so much, they decided that Perodua can only learn a few things. Cannot learn the same thing as Proton. This is so that Perodua wouldn’t Beat Proton at what Proton is doing.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Although Perodua was also protected by Malaysia, he learn to be independent very fast. He made good friends with Daihatsu, who had An elder brother Toyota. The two of them helped Perodua in everything. Perodua, being independent and smart, learned a lot and in a short while, was becoming as good as, if not better, than Proton.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Malaysia realized that Perodua was becoming better than his brother.Although proud of Perodua, they still love Proton best. They paid Lotus which is older and well known worldwide) to be friends with Proton.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Using this advantage, Proton mentioned Lotus every time he wanted to Tell people about himself. On this own, he was still the same.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Moreover, Proton is always not updated. When doing his work, he Still uses the typewriter and refuses to use the computer. Perodua, so much younger, used the computer, with broadband for his work. Perodua was improving so much that Toyota has assigned him with his work, codename Avanza.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">2005. Proton is 20 years old, Perodua only 10. It was obvious that Perodua was the more successful of the two siblings. What is worse,Proton said he still need his parents to help him for another 10 years.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">He still need to protection from the big boys. In May 2005, Perodua was about the show Malaysia his best work so far…codename Myvi. Proton, being jealous…quickly came up with an unprofessional remark about Perodua’s work and show his work at the same time as Perodua on purpose.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">The future of Malaysia and her two kids are still unknown. But it would be obvious that Perodua will shine, leaving Proton crying. It would be wonder if in 2015, Proton will ask Malaysia for another 10 years of Help and protection…maybe this time…protection from Perodua as well</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">……….THE END</span>zhiahowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08332091137901651522noreply@blogger.com88tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071879743110797059.post-62499000145791114252009-12-06T05:34:00.001-08:002009-12-11T21:20:04.527-08:00Air Asia VS Malaysia Airlines<div style="text-align: right;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinKrnU1xmjlSOkaDv2LEmMbLOy-HMj1xJuTVdI1eLByfqubASuBqQLWVy3j5JxmIQ2U5FEZ3i4ayKFl3f08Jkydrw24hcLTszIOzQiC4pZsy43K-OLgijgxhdb6edBh59CGXktnFdtYxg/s1600-h/12313.bmp" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412127966073505202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinKrnU1xmjlSOkaDv2LEmMbLOy-HMj1xJuTVdI1eLByfqubASuBqQLWVy3j5JxmIQ2U5FEZ3i4ayKFl3f08Jkydrw24hcLTszIOzQiC4pZsy43K-OLgijgxhdb6edBh59CGXktnFdtYxg/s400/12313.bmp" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 318px;" /></a><br />

<p>Looking back several decades ago, when traveling across the nations by Plane had been something which only the rich could afford. For the poor, they have always gone to the Airport to look at aeroplanes landing and take-off. For the government servants, they have always been waiting for the free passage ONCE for every 3 years. For the above average, of course, they get to fly without any worries and thoughts.<br />
<br />
I have been fortunate enough to fly at very young age, because my parents are under the 2nd Category, which have been waiting for 3 odd years just to get the chance to bring their family for a trip to KL. By then, only Malaysia Airlines was available. Hence, it was so obvious that the air route was dominated by MAS. Nevertheless, their service were excellent. They served good foods on board, offering souvenirs to the little ones, and IF you are cold and uncomfortable of the seat, you can always request for blankets and pillows. I had quite a few bad experiences flying, because i tend to vomit and got headache whenever sitting in an aeroplane. Weakling me...<br />
<br />
So, those were the days when MAS had their golden years. Their indisputable service were finally threatened by the new born baby, Air Asia.<br />
<br />
Air Asia is just similar to a smart kid. When we look at those extraordinary kid, they tend to learn things faster than normal human, and can even master knowledge only 30 years old people can achieve. Same goes to AirAsia. Under the leadership of Datuk Tony Fernandes, Air Asia has grown fast enough to become one of the best Low-Cost Courier in the world.<br />
<br />
Air Asia is smart enough to come out with the theme "Now Everyone Can Fly". MAS is not that bad too, with the theme "Malaysian Hospitality".<br />
<br />
From these air courier companies, i have actually learnt one lesson from it.<br />
<br />
"In order to suit yourself in this ever changing world, you have to adapt to what is around, and never be stubborn with what you think it the best. What is applicable 10 years back doesn't mean it is still effective today."<br />
<br />
I guess this goes to General Motors too, and they are regaining back their position.<br />
<br />
MAS had faced quite a huge loss for the past few years, ever since AirAsia emerged as the most-favourite Airlines in Malaysia. Ever since, they have adopted AirAsia's strategy to sustain in the airline industry. Undoubtedly, MAS is protected by our Malaysian Government. Hence, they were pampered all this while. This is the time for them to show what they are actually made on. Not on Government, but because of their Past Excellent tracks record and history.<br />
<br />
But, i would like to list down some of the amazing things about each airlines. Behold, the following are just my personal views, and shall not be related to any particular groups/ parties/ people.<br />

</div><p>Let me start with Air Asia.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="color: red;">1. They offer free seats<br />
</div><div style="color: red;">2. They offer low-price seats<br />
</div><div style="color: red;">3. They waive Airport Tax<br />
</div><div style="color: red;">4. They ease air ticket purchasing through online booking<br />
</div><div style="color: red;">5. They have pretty stewardess<br />
</div><div style="color: red;">6. LCCT is easily accessible at low price (SkyBus)<br />
</div><div style="color: red;">7. They accept CIMB & Maybank account for online booking (no longer rely on Credit Cards)<br />
</div><div style="color: red;">8. They have a very well-written magazine on board - Travel2Sixty.<br />
</div><div style="color: red;"><br />
</div><div style="color: red;">BUT<br />
</div><div style="color: red;"><br />
</div><div style="color: red;">1. They like to trick customers with their Go-Insure Insurance. "Click CANCEL to cancel insurance, not OK"<br />
</div><div style="color: red;">2. Airport tax is waived, but there are still other charges being applied. Recently, they charge for booking through Credit Card. So, use CIMB or Maybank for cheaper rates.<br />
</div><div style="color: red;">3. They only allow 15KG luggage weight to be checked in.<br />
</div><div style="color: red;">4. They charge for the number of checked-in luggages<br />
</div><div style="color: red;">5. The service crews/ staffs of AirAsi<br />
</div><div style="color: red;">a are a little arrogant, and unfriendly EXCEPT the stewardess. (I believe most of us agree with this).<br />
</div><div style="color: red;">6. The impose quite a high charges on the food menu.<br />
</div><div style="color: red;"></div><div style="color: red;">7. Passengers has to walk up/ down the stairs to board/ leave the plane.<br />
</div><div style="color: red;">8. Impose a lot of charges for flight ticket change.<br />
</div><div style="color: red;">9. A few more which i am lazy to list them down here.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<br />
So, now let's compare with MAS.<br />
<br />
<div style="color: blue;">1. MAS provides the "Canopy" or "overhead shelter" when boarding/ leaving the plane.<br />
</div><div style="color: blue;">2. They treat their customers with the principle "Customers always Right".<br />
</div><div style="color: blue;">3. They open new counter 30 minutes before departure of flight, to cater for passengers who are still in the queue. If Air Asia, they will just keep silent and by the time you reach the counter, "I am sorry Sir, but our counter is closed. You will have to catch the next flight to reach your destination". Too "Business Oriented".<br />
</div><div style="color: blue;">4. Very considerate. Let's look at how they deal with passengers with baby. They will serve the Father with the meal 20 minutes before the original catering time. Hence, by the time they serve the meal, the Father can take care of the baby, and the Mother can happily enjoy her meal. THUMB UP!!<br />
</div><div style="color: blue;">5. Adopting Air Asia's strategy, which makes our flying experience even greater.<br />
</div><div style="color: blue;">6. No limit of number of Checked-in Luggages.<br />
</div><div style="color: blue;"></div><div style="color: blue;">7. Tolerance of +-2KG from 20 KGs for luggage.<br />
</div><div style="color: blue;">8. Friendly Staffs. 9. More spacious seats<br />
</div><div style="color: blue;"></div><div style="color: blue;"><br />
BUT<br />
</div><div style="color: blue;"><br />
</div><div style="color: blue;">1. Fare is a little too expensive<br />
</div><div style="color: blue;">2. Old Aircraft<br />
</div><div style="color: blue;">3. Un-Screened selection of Stewardess/ Steward. The rule of "170cm for Female, and 180cm for Male" no longer applies.<br />
</div><div style="color: blue;">4. Yet to think<br />
</div><br />
<br />
All in all, their pilot's landing skill has improved a lot, expecially for MAS airlines. Last time, whenever the aircraft touching the runway, i could feel my heart nearly fell out from my body. Now, it's all smooth and comfortable landing.

PTC Site must looks sustainable with efforts seen been put on, etc - scripts, codings...<br />2. Good script with instant payment.<br />3. Reasonable amount of referrals.<br />4. Join fast!!<br /><br />After the incident of Svbux, I have been more careful in selecting the right PTC Site to invest in. Nevertheless, one lesson i have learnt from it.<br /><br />"Joins early, quits early"<br /><br />It sounds so true, because once you join early, certainly you are some of the few who are gaining the benefits from it. Why? Because the referrals clicks will be high, and you can earn back your investment in less than a month. Hence, you will certainly be at the earning point instead of the losing point. Another lesson learnt was<br /><br />"Once reach break-even, do not invest more than the amount you have invested"<br /><br />Today I am going to introduce you another new potential bux, which is the Enbux. What is so special about it? Basically it scripts, as well as DDOS protection on the server site. The login menu is secure enough, and the best of the best is now still in pre-launch mode. It will launch somewhere soon in this month (Dec 2009).<br /><br />As the site is new, the ref will be active clicking to reach their minimum payout. Therefore, you could expect your downline to be very active. I just upgrade my account to Golden, which cost me $59 (Discount price). On top of that, every deposit by now will received an 10% bonus. In my case, I deposit $80 for Upgrade and the rest for the ref rental (once site is launched), I get additional of $8.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrnGR8shwGBwMufvvp5EqFSGcRJUpttGt-UtIXgMS6yvTho1b4ZtPw92jlE1va70IXIQ_u_2Pl750V4HTCew34tvc3KKiwotrkGKRfvVACgXdr4vyBP5Y0C2P3KhpenRrh3_ZaC7Fofm4/s1600-h/enb.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 228px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrnGR8shwGBwMufvvp5EqFSGcRJUpttGt-UtIXgMS6yvTho1b4ZtPw92jlE1va70IXIQ_u_2Pl750V4HTCew34tvc3KKiwotrkGKRfvVACgXdr4vyBP5Y0C2P3KhpenRrh3_ZaC7Fofm4/s400/enb.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412111544989940850" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Deposit of $80 into Enbux<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The minimum cashout for Enbux is simply $2.

We were having our free chat as usual, until the GOLF topic popped up. Certainly, Khairul who claims himself as pro, has a lot to say. On the other side, me as a rookie, has a lot to ask. So, here goes.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Handicap.</span><br /><br />Khairul explained to me what handicap means. In a golf game, it is actually a very fair game. When you are playing against a pro, he will have to give you some handicap. Say, in a PAR game, they have 18 holes, with 4 Stroke each. So, in total, you will have 72 strokes per game.<br /><br />Aiyak.

Well, to my expectations, most of the hits returned were more about what are the places in Bintulu, the Hotels, the Industries and Factories, the Celcom & Broadband, and the list goes on.<br /><br />I realized that Bintulu has actually very little description on the advantages and disadvantages living in Bintulu. I personally think that, Bintulu is a good place to save money, because there's not much entertainment for you to spend on. You might opt for some hobbies like Fishing, Fish Mating, Jungle Trekking, Roadtrip to KK/ KCH and so forth. I most certainly has opted for Fishing, Sports and Church. Seemingly, Bintulu has offered quite a lot of choices for our fellow Christians. There are so many churches everywhere, but only 2 Temples. Why? Ask BDA, not me.<br /><br />Besides, Bintulu is also a good place to settle down. It's a peaceful town, with calm environment. Let's not look into the polluted air, bumpy roads and stuffs first. I think what makes Bintulu unique is because of the people living here. Most of the people in Bintulu are actually enjoying Above-Average Lifestyle, which also signifies the quality of their standard of living. I can say that most of the Bintulu-ians are rich. These are all manifested through their homes and vehicles. Businesses are blooming.<br /><br />Looking at the dark side, Bintulu is also popular for the "scandalous" society. Many people who came to Bintulu, somehow found their third half of their life, letting aside their second half of their life, living is sorrow and desperation. How true is this? I can name a few. Believe it or not, it's all up to you to judge.<br /><br />Right, back to the first paragraph. I consulted Mr. Google, and he revealed quite a shocking news to me. If you want to know more about how a West Malaysian would describe Bintulu, <a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.bintulu.org/news/2009/04/28/ouch-bintulu-suck-boring-place-live.php#comment-1363">CLICK HERE</a> for more information.zhiahowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08332091137901651522noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071879743110797059.post-13801443072504355232009-11-24T02:04:00.000-08:002009-12-11T06:51:12.138-08:00A Touch Up for Karnival KeluargaAs i had mentioned, i was in the Console Game committee..<br /><br />So, here's the poster designed by our promotion group..<br /><br />Let's check it out..<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWA4RYgMbHyGDyFCSCVzUA1Ww2VMtoxxoJd6VTXIxezCzu-qgLxxWremFZZ2WpPoy8ISXVUBD-iB8n_JqE06DZN1vGwXhVhfh2Y9hWhBtbI4oIKl24gdTb5sui15eGjNV-qsNuBmOSL0Q/s1600/CONSOLE_GAMES_BANNER_revised.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWA4RYgMbHyGDyFCSCVzUA1Ww2VMtoxxoJd6VTXIxezCzu-qgLxxWremFZZ2WpPoy8ISXVUBD-iB8n_JqE06DZN1vGwXhVhfh2Y9hWhBtbI4oIKl24gdTb5sui15eGjNV-qsNuBmOSL0Q/s400/CONSOLE_GAMES_BANNER_revised.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407609600875111218" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWWuP_nQQ_7DlKEdxcjGIkE7hz1HXLULokEy18RT53-dXvvV_N_JvkoV7jBX6dK-LXTBQ3q3FbJ7Anm4cUKCL2IRsCZGi3uAXNmbgOoZjQENyl-DnClR8NSzZbVS5_17_yG5n2rEXxKP0/s1600/poster+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 283px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWWuP_nQQ_7DlKEdxcjGIkE7hz1HXLULokEy18RT53-dXvvV_N_JvkoV7jBX6dK-LXTBQ3q3FbJ7Anm4cUKCL2IRsCZGi3uAXNmbgOoZjQENyl-DnClR8NSzZbVS5_17_yG5n2rEXxKP0/s400/poster+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407609595901251314" border="0" /></a>zhiahowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08332091137901651522noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071879743110797059.post-44408500874269586842009-11-24T01:45:00.000-08:002009-12-11T06:51:32.053-08:00Catchy Sights in BintuluOh well, i am quite sure people who have visited Bintulu has a lot to say on this. There are certainly a lot of Catchy Sights all across Bintulu City.<br /><br />Let me just spend some adrenaline to list out those not-so-fun places.<br /><br />a. Taman Tumbina<br />b. Tanjung Batu Beach<br />c. Riverfront<br />d. Tanjung Batu Jungle Trekking<br />e. View of MLNG & ABF from the viewing tower (dangerous area, might collapse anytime.)<br />f. View of the berth/ terminal from viewing tower (dangerous area, might collapse anytime.)<br />g. Casablanca Pub, Wave Club<br />h. ParkCity Shopping Mall<br /><br />Yeah, i have tried so hard to list them out, and i guess some are even not close to be termed catchy sights. Well, just trying to stretch the list so that i wont scare away the tourists from getting nearer to this place.<br /><br />FYI, Bintulu is also called Gas Town, or Oil Town if you want to call it. That's because we are producing Liquefied Natural Gas, and also Palm Oil. But, i am giving it another name as well. Zombie Town. I guess it has given birth to quite a lot of no-life losers. At least i am transforming to be one..<br /><br />So, what triggers me to write this is because of what i have encountered today. 24th November 2009, 5.15 p.m., along the road from Tanjung Kidurong to Nyabau.<br /><br />I saw something catchy. Something i did not expect to see in Bintulu. Something, which i have always seen in West Malaysia. Let's guess what is it? Guess..Guess...Guess...<br /><br />Alright..<br /><br />Alright..<br /><br />A hint...Banners hanging along the road..Red in colour, something related to technology..<br /><br />Guess..<br /><br />Guess..<br /><br />Guess again..<br /><br />..<br />..<br />..<br />..<br />..<br />..<br />..<br />..<br />..<br />..<br />..<br />..<br />..<br />..<br />..<br />..<br />..<br /><br />YES! YOU ARE RIGHT!!<br /><br />PIKOM PC FAIR IS BACK!IT IS IN BINTULU FROM 11-13 DECEMBER 2009 AT DEWAN SUARAH BINTULU!!!<br /><br />Yes!!Finally i found something which will really attract my attention. That's the only thing i have been waiting for ever since i came to Bintulu. This time around, i am gonna go grab some good stuffs to feed my aging CPU.

This year, the Family Day is organized by Asean Bintulu Fertilizer Sdn. Bhd (ABF) with the support from Malaysia LNG Sdn. Bhd. (MLNG). It was held from 20th November 2009 to 22nd November 2009 at Kelab Kidurong Bintulu (KKB).<br /><br />This is an annual event which will be organized by PETRONAS to show their care and concern not only to the employees, but also their spouses and family members. This is one of PETRONAS ways to show their appreciation and gratitude towards the efforts and sacrifices of its employees. This event obviously mean a lot to all PETRONAS staffs as they get to enjoy good food, good performances from famous artists and also winning lucrative prizes <span style="font-style: italic;"><strike>in a town like Bintulu</strike></span>.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD4ogFisRYsBotAk9oSQ1PeLxnFFQvJyj6fghLbopKbbQEwURWEoQQ9ZghWUWurcGDvFBlimqfvTPIHXdgrxtemIsoMwOd7tqhYNtbQrsXdRqowQzHCnPXCIHDrQfUX4mnr929BjaDojE/s1600/DSC00323.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD4ogFisRYsBotAk9oSQ1PeLxnFFQvJyj6fghLbopKbbQEwURWEoQQ9ZghWUWurcGDvFBlimqfvTPIHXdgrxtemIsoMwOd7tqhYNtbQrsXdRqowQzHCnPXCIHDrQfUX4mnr929BjaDojE/s400/DSC00323.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406920022170537922" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8VlZxxnPNgsUAu04VXk_H_ghmia7EJsGJxhU-JZR3I9fn7M8U_3Jdbq1govZRA-fv35_SjI43GaMa5y-Wfd60Q-CC9eb747fYOE5TwM2idTAaFEA1NRBgjo8aFP_dAkf-SRpjmH4isK8/s1600/DSC00346.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8VlZxxnPNgsUAu04VXk_H_ghmia7EJsGJxhU-JZR3I9fn7M8U_3Jdbq1govZRA-fv35_SjI43GaMa5y-Wfd60Q-CC9eb747fYOE5TwM2idTAaFEA1NRBgjo8aFP_dAkf-SRpjmH4isK8/s400/DSC00346.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406920789073323474" border="0" /></a>Program Line Up<br /></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3v6peWo6BdzpeND37iF8mivR2cAnSsAo4QrR_1ZUFdzseroT6ImGnaqj1S2-Q8cLHFYZeqzk1UJrJlWe9Nh7wVKCIaQeXob_Eqkl-gUxrFWzCiemEWeELw40fdlRtz1w_dlH-riVfwjI/s1600/DSC00326.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3v6peWo6BdzpeND37iF8mivR2cAnSsAo4QrR_1ZUFdzseroT6ImGnaqj1S2-Q8cLHFYZeqzk1UJrJlWe9Nh7wVKCIaQeXob_Eqkl-gUxrFWzCiemEWeELw40fdlRtz1w_dlH-riVfwjI/s400/DSC00326.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406920013197288898" border="0" /></a><br />Let's start with the Food Stalls first. There were not as many stalls as i have expected. Most of the stalls are just repetition of one and another. We have KFC, Pizza Hut, Ayam Penyet, Drinks, Western Foods, Ikan Bakar, normal stalls we usually see during Pasar Malam and etc. From my observation, i think the stalls that made the most profit are <span style="font-weight: bold;">KFC, Pizza Hut</span> and the Drinks. Period. (notice the BOLD?)<br /><br />As a PETRONAS staffs, they are giving out RM20 Coupons to each Staffs/ Spouse, RM15 Coupons to each kid. So, i presume some family has received more than RM100 of Coupons, and some people has RM200 of Coupons because .......... . They have also given out straw hats to all the staffs and family too. Some people do look a little like Monkey D'Luffy in One Piece (Anime). Grin :P. Anyway, as a committee, i received an extra RM15 Coupon, and a T-Shirt.<br /><br />I am involved in Fun and Games Department. So, we have actually organized quite a lot of interesting activities. Namely, Fun Fair, Management Games, Colouring Contest, Inflatable, Console Games and many more. I believe some of you might have seen my Facebook status message stating that i was all worn out playing those consoles. So, here's a short preview of the Console Game Section.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">There are 8 consoles to be given out, which consists of:</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Sony Playstation 3 Special Edition (White) x 1</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Dual Shock Controller (Extra) x 1</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Game: Tekken 6 x 1</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"> Burning Paradise x 1</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Cash Voucher of RM200 x 1</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Sony Playstation 3 Standard Edition x 1</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Dual Shock Controller (Extra) x 1</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Game: Tekken 6 x 1</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"> Burning Paradise x 1</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Nintendo WII x 2</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Game: WII Sports x 2</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Hand-held Controller x 2</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Cash Voucher of RM 200 x 1</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">XBOX 360 x 2</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Wireless Controller x 2</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Game: Winning Evelen 2009 x 2</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"> NFS Prostreet x 2</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Cash Voucher of RM200 x 1</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Sony Playstation 2 x 2</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Sony MP4 Player x 6</span><br /><br />Well, you might be thinking. How much does that all costs? And how are they given out? So, the price for all of those in a bundle is confidential. However, how are you going to win those prizes? We had organized a tourney for this. It is divided into 3 categories.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Category 1 : XBOX 360 (Winning Eleven 2009)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"> Total contestants of 48, having Death Match format.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Category 2 : Nintendo WII (Virtua Tennis)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"> Total contestants of 32, having Death Match format.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Category 3 : Sony Playstation 3 (Tekken 6)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"> Total contestants of 48, having League Match format.</span><br /><br />My role was as the OPS leader. OPS - operations. So, i will be assigning all the committees their respected duty on the day itself. I have come out with a quite comprehensive schedule and job description for the committees to follow. So, part of my duty is to be a MC, score board handler, tournament coordinator and etc. Oh ya, another most important duty, <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">GIVE OUT THE PRIZES TO THE WINNER. :( :( :(</span><br /><br />Speaking of the duty assignment, i think i did it quite badly. Looking at the chart i drafted, and the committee members who turned out during the event, i would say i am quite disappointed. WHY? Because some of them did not even turn out, and what's more? They didn't even inform me earlier. I have requested for confirmation for the whole week, and what i got was just an absenteeism from the whole event. But, all thanks to Amier, Nazri, Gerry, Azran, Nurhadi and Syed for helping out as well although their duty starts in the afternoon. Not to forget the 5 trainees too. You are all AWESOME!Anyway, i am quite satisfied with those who turn out during the event. At least we have helped each other during the whole Console Game tournament.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0DvWkMQVmr_5L36PjuNOMNdVvyf4O8Sa131Itka0Q9snAFRqdlGsAb3R9G0xUdUbquHZBU7sEILhrJPx5NRkC-j-bAP7NC9smW3_mRE87Lp2eQD37u16kH9Y8koWAdlAW-SvY4iR0oB8/s1600/12139_182125568049_815833049_2904852_172627_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

PETRONAS has invited the well-known, famous, popular, hot and rocking artist, Amy Search to the event as well. He has performed for 2 nights in KKPB!! You should have seen the crowd. It was tremendous!! Well, i am not so into these artists, so i got home around 9pm every night, just to have an early rest to prepare for the next day.<br /><br />Among the other popular artists are Krystal, Aishah AF7, Claudia AF7, Sepah Raja Lawak 3 and a few more.<br /><br />Enough talking. I try to show some pictures for that. :)<br />Have fun.<br /><br />I had a great time there. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnesid0AGjcEMFg-SFME-8Jg9fIwPaw61GxJYO8PKx6H5jm8ZZxzrCytKzY_75h3G5zZ6RQAVuLvbNf6hkAODGxCUQote5EWKhjmqfiL9Qbo_4xfHIsbD7QU5-7n7fD2QNvaJbG5toEv8/s1600/12139_182123298049_815833049_2904845_7872767_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

It was merely a fortune for me that i could attend the course. Thank you to my Manager for nominated me to replace him for the course. Else, i would not have benefited so much from the entire course.<br /><br />Natural Gas Course is an event organized by MLNG annually, which will be chaired by our Consultants from the West, Potens and Partners. This course basically gives an entire overview on the Gas Business, what is NG, how is it extracted from the platform, how is it channeled to processing plants, the surface overview of the liquefaction processes, and lastly, how it is shipped to our customers.<br /><br />Along the way, we have been explained of the current market situation of the Gas Business, and speculations made for the next 5-10 years. It is believed that the emergence of Qatar Gas has actually brought a huge leap to Gas Industry, and likewise.<br /><br />Apart from that, they have also explained the procedures in acquiring/ securing a contract with our reputable buyers, mainly from Japan, Taiwan and South Korea. Not to forget, China and India as well. To further enhance our understanding in the contract securing process, they have come out with a super-duper-extravaganza-hilarious-fun-syndicate-game, which is actually a case study to all of us.<br /><br />If i could still recall it accurately. All of us are divided into 7 groups, and each group are further divided into 3 sub groups, which consists of the supplier, the processor, and the buyer.<br /><br />Country - Xenrovia<br />XNOC - Supplier of the Natural Gas<br />Pan Oil & Gas - Plant owner for Gas Processing (Buy NG from XNOC, Sell LNG to ZGas)<br />ZGas - Buyer for the Liquefied Natural Gas<br /><br />It is more or less similar to our Malaysia PETRONAS gas supply chain.<br /><br />Country - Malaysia<br />Carigali - Supplier of NG<br />MLNG - Gas Processing Plant<br />Japan - Buyer<br /><br />I feel very proud to say that i was grouped under Team 4, and my role was as a negotiator for ZGas in order to secure a deal with Pan Oil & Gas. The activity was carried out in a near-real-time activity. Updates were issued to all of the participants randomly. Some of the informations are confidential, some are just news regarding the industry. A lot of considerations that has to be made before going for a negotiation with our counterpart. Proudly, under the Leadership of Mr. Osamu Iwamoto, we successfully completed the activity, at the shortest time, with the best project economics analysis & evaluation, securing a Bank Loan from the Bankers, and emerged as the WINNER for the Syndicate Activity. It was such a proud moment to stand in front of all of the other people, as the Winner of the game.<br /><br />From my point of view, i think everyone was the winner. Why? Because everyone has spent all of their time and effort in preparing for the syndicate activity. Some of them even worked till midnight just to come out with the right price and conditions for negotiation purposes. Their spirit is very much impressed and appreciated. However, our group is always the last to start, first to have tea break/ lunch/ leave the meeting room. Perhaps we have reached agreement among each other easily. I heard some of the participants acted seriously, as if the whole thing is a real deal. So, that would be a challenge for their team mates i suppose.<br /><br />Enough of the activity. Let's get into the Food and Beverages. I have to admit that this is my first time in life to witness such grand dinner served that night. I was so impressed by the settings, the variety of food choices, the level of the taste...One word. Speechless. It was beyond too delicious. First thing i noticed was, there was this fake tree outside of the ball room, with all kinds of fruits hanging on it. Not to exaggerate, but, i saw 3 durians on that tree as well. My God!<br />They even hung cempedak, rambutan, grapes, mata kucing, ... ... ... ... ... on that particular tree. The most interesting part is that, you can just pluck it and eat. Cool eh? Most occasion it is meant for decoration. This event is to create the ambient and atmosphere for the foreigners to experience Asia Living Style.<br /><br />The tea break settings are awesome too. There was one particular setting which embarked into my mind permanently. They had this Halloween Theme during one of the tea break. All of the waitress and waitress were wearing their contumes (which i can only recognize some of it - dracula). There was a coffin on the table as well, with a fake mummy inside it. Next to it was this nicely carved pineapple with a light within it (I guess they are replacing pumpkin with that). Creative work there. Thumb Up!! And what's next? The lighting were simply splendid. Exactly created the anxious yet scary environment. There was this Korean guy who did not even dare to step foot into the Ball Room. He was sitting outside, asking some of his friends to take some food for him. Hurm..If i were to rate the Halloween theme, i would give 9/10!!!<br /><br />That's not all about the program. During the last day, we had a plant trip to MLNG. Certainly, it was not much of a program for me since i am in the plant everyday. But, it was an eye-opener for the buyers from the East. They used to see ships unloading the LNG to their gas proccessing plant, but they have never seen how it is processed. This trip is the most awaited program in the entire course - according to a few japanese ladies which i managed to engage a conversation with.<br /><br />On that afternoon, we had a trip to Iban Longhouse. To be frank, the longhouse was like an oven, frying all of us underneath it. OMG! People who know me well do know i sweat a lot. I was all wet until there was this guy asked me this, "Was it raining outside?". Oh well, i am athletic i suppose. :)<br /><br />On the way to the Iban Longhouse, i was talking to this Manager from Tokyo Gas. We have shared a lot of information, not limited to only work related issues, but also into personal views and opinions on certain issues. I was impressed by her English. She could speak fluent English..and, on the way back, we continued sharing our thoughts. Finally, she came out with a Pen, a souvenir from Japan. I believe all of you must be wondering, "what's so special about a pen? I can have it anywhere i want!". Well, you are wrong. This pen is special. As usual, it has four colours on each angle - Red, Blue, Black, Green. But, the one extra which we seldom see is, it is integrated with Pencil & Eraser as well. COOL!!!!<br /><br />Speaking of souvenir, i did receive another souvenir from Mr. Iwamoto. He gave me a Japan Prawn Cracker which he personally brought from Nagoya. I have not opened it yet though, due to its nice paper wrapping. :)<br /><br />However, there's a downside of the whole program. MY BAG WAS SWAPPED!!!<br />Just imagine, my valuables, my car keys, my personal identification items..all are inside. It took me roughly 2 hours to trace my bag back. Well, in between the processes, many parties involved, and i have gone up and down the lift for many many times. I have even bothered a "bathing" guy to get out of his tub, rushed to his bag, just to check whether that bag is mine. Sorry Dude, for disturbing your personal moment. Anyway, i just want to express my gratitude to whoever have helped me in my Bag Hunting journey.<br /><br />Oh well, it was ended in a usual manner - sadness. But, i will visit Tokyo & Nagoya someday. Not to forget, Jung-Jai, i will visit you in Seoul!! Remember our deal yeah!! I pay the ticket, you take care of everything after that! haha..<br />p/s: This guy looks like a korean film star. No Joke! Serious Shit!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwiP7Knjqvs0k1lNiPPydzEhaxNfpRA6B4ELkqaD4FZQgQjT2whzi3xAZTa3J2-G5MriNJ6hrgVS_AYvtIGyUme5fVQoY8J0FMpW7SGmoouS2jiMYATSMF7SODcEV5bjQMORf4oWKZwk8/s1600/DSCN3775.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwiP7Knjqvs0k1lNiPPydzEhaxNfpRA6B4ELkqaD4FZQgQjT2whzi3xAZTa3J2-G5MriNJ6hrgVS_AYvtIGyUme5fVQoY8J0FMpW7SGmoouS2jiMYATSMF7SODcEV5bjQMORf4oWKZwk8/s400/DSCN3775.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404721461518235746" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHv9sCCA8TExQMbe0yV8yKe0bP9dzU6Y2wvpNlM8Nl6CcjQfm68BSJCw9rwol7Dvvh5UhaS6S8OhgROGkeD-0Qlk1ViYJAlDDKz3bEiu83pp60OOieDMsEG3L6pGL0h3ibWeavtqrO1z8/s1600/DSCN3787.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHv9sCCA8TExQMbe0yV8yKe0bP9dzU6Y2wvpNlM8Nl6CcjQfm68BSJCw9rwol7Dvvh5UhaS6S8OhgROGkeD-0Qlk1ViYJAlDDKz3bEiu83pp60OOieDMsEG3L6pGL0h3ibWeavtqrO1z8/s400/DSCN3787.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404721456263931794" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2nSS4nUNnow5iujBTa6ToEz-rO89C78shttQlm11X3YFov0wHs6EO8j9fIur6c9dGOOn59YqQo4WUKO4TRHKs_-b9TLO-XumxXdL-UKOP6nEW0eEGNbsMSGqPQVpICfnBnQHJpw81NJk/s1600/DSCN3801.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2nSS4nUNnow5iujBTa6ToEz-rO89C78shttQlm11X3YFov0wHs6EO8j9fIur6c9dGOOn59YqQo4WUKO4TRHKs_-b9TLO-XumxXdL-UKOP6nEW0eEGNbsMSGqPQVpICfnBnQHJpw81NJk/s400/DSCN3801.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404721452653524882" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK1mTu0Hw9KPzYPv9lF5iEfAzt4icDvIcQDBZg-9lBfGd5nr7M4dH5wwt3ywcv70XbPmR1aacR-WpaRPD8CxlHd3JoP4h-uM4ORdv7Vp4MUL5OiSdvh_JiyCGJADzZ6ITPJ_cLC-FTGXc/s1600/DSCN3808.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK1mTu0Hw9KPzYPv9lF5iEfAzt4icDvIcQDBZg-9lBfGd5nr7M4dH5wwt3ywcv70XbPmR1aacR-WpaRPD8CxlHd3JoP4h-uM4ORdv7Vp4MUL5OiSdvh_JiyCGJADzZ6ITPJ_cLC-FTGXc/s400/DSCN3808.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404721446379962594" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3UFnhrLKSE-eexhip884vN9uhSh-JlwIS9UJDch5NoBKRBQWWUZ2NIvk0id8hGlguWbfNsOkrvbeoadBaeT3LV_TfS4hDRrbhuHVzL8aSDmEpjpwxixHBxz1zkpUZAnzGhyphenhyphenLYfjP6s9w/s1600/1371_001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3UFnhrLKSE-eexhip884vN9uhSh-JlwIS9UJDch5NoBKRBQWWUZ2NIvk0id8hGlguWbfNsOkrvbeoadBaeT3LV_TfS4hDRrbhuHVzL8aSDmEpjpwxixHBxz1zkpUZAnzGhyphenhyphenLYfjP6s9w/s400/1371_001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404721444006339986" border="0" /></a>zhiahowehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08332091137901651522noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071879743110797059.post-28332552980705250442009-11-14T08:40:00.000-08:002009-12-11T06:53:16.787-08:00New Vision-Comfy KitRemember i just sold off my CPU & LCD for the price of RM550?<br /><br />Yeah..i have put those money into a more enjoyable experience, vision-comfy tool..<br /><br />I just got myself a new LCD Screen..It's a 20" Wide Screen Samsung LCD Screen.
