- 3 years ago today -



It was half day working in the plant 3 years ago today, Saturday of course. So far away, in the jungle with lots of plantation around...

Basically, this is what we are doing each and everyday for the 3 months back and for stay.

1. Woke up as early as 530am in the morning from Monday to Saturday.

2. First thing first. Brush my teeth and start squatting on the toilet bowl and felt asleep... lol~

3. After that, cold bath! Yeah, you can imagine, there's no water heater and the morning bath in the middle of no where is bloody freezing... It's good freshen my whole body.

4. 645am - My friend will start driving us to work.

5. 7am - Reach the plant. Clock in. Start unpacking our stuffs and off we go for our daily routine monitoring - so called internship in the plant.

6. 9am - Tea time!

7. 930am - Start studying and taking notes of the Plant Wide Process.

8. 12pm - Clock Out. LUNCH TIME! Go back home. Cook lunch - My friend will start chopping vegetables, while we take turns to cook rice everyday. For protein, we usually go for some fried stuffs or just normal meat that we can cook easily.

9. 1pm - Clock in. Back to Work. Usually our afternoon are sleepy afternoon. Honestly we felt asleep sometime. lol~ no one cares I guess. Only our supervisor didn't say anything.. This time around. usually we will have to go down to the plant to learn more of the processing methods and all the process from FFB to the crude oil. With all the process control intact, I believe our life in this line is not simple. A little mistake can bring the whole plant in jeopardy. In terms of servicing and maintaining the line, outsource servicing are require every period of time, say, every 3 months or unless in certain condition, in case of emergency, only the  technician are able to troubleshoot all the issues. Still do not know what i'm doing? Didn't I told you already just now?

10. 430pm - Clock Out. Go back home. Resting. Our daily routine of "Cho Dai Ti" starts around 5pm after we had our afternoon tea break - there's an aunty selling kuih which is nice... Damn so seducing. Imagine we bought her curry puff and other kuih and she was so happy about it. Start with our card games. Basically, I think I mastered the game in 3 months time. Imagine for 3 months, we never fail to play cards everyday, except for Saturday of course.

11. 600pm - the sun set on the west soon. So what's for dinner. Home cook of course. 3 of us really have fun doing cooking every day without fail.

12. 730pm - After bath, we start to enjoy our dinner. Yum yum! Can't believe it's still fresh in my mind.

13. 8pm - Cho Dai Ti... Damn , there's one time I took four "Dis" and I loose it all... Wah! So embarrassing.

14. 930pm - Bedtime!

15. The rest of the day... Its all about daily routine.

Well, 3 years ago today, I still remember that I went back to Miri, as usual. Arrived around 4pm in the afternoon back to Senadin. Around 5pm, I'll be cycling around Lutong beach about 1 hour. Taking pictures here and there. Watching the sun set with my nostalgic bicycle. Ops... Can't find it... Looking at the sky of people playing... Motor Parachuting i guess.. loL~



There! The quality is pretty bad but that's all I have that time.



- The sun set at Lutong Beach -

Oh, and I never fail to go to the beach every weekend after I came down from the plantation to Miri. Anyway, it's just so happened that this morning I woke up around 4 am. Looking at the time on my Ipod, 30th December, just like a pop corn that pop out of no where.

All I could think of is that, this is the most memorable period and imagine for the whole 3 months. I actually got fatter by 10kg... Lol~ Wad?!?! It's not like I can do anything in the plant. Pros and Cons living in the outskirt where people will have no life at all but in terms of air, you can live longer there.

Well, all I can tell you it's not my way of living there. That's why I choose not to go back there. Experience is the most important when it is a piece of memory that can last eternity.

And that's not all that happened in that summer!

Happy New Year 2010 Everyone!

- Everything has a reasonable explanation -

Around 1130pm last night...

It was at the area of Kampung Mambong and Kampung Jambu...

I RAMP! into a pot hole... Instantaneously, I'm driving an unbalance car.. One of my back tire was ramp very hard until it was flat... It was dark and I have a feeling that we overshoot the entrance to Kampung Jambu.. and I was write. Worst come to worst, there's not street lights.. Damn the road..



I was suppose to hook up my spare tire in my boot and I found out that the tire is F**King small! Like a Kereta Sorong's tire. Shit! Luckily, my friends have bigger spare tire to hook on. and it was like the most cacat car ever...



Guess I need a new tire to replace this cacat spare tire... TADA!!



Smart eh! Supposedly just change to Michelin's tyre, dad told me it was bloody expensive.. Oh well, just got Dunlop instead.



Damn, Michelin is bloody fat! lol~ After washing my car this afternoon, I saw another dent on my right side front tire! Yiks! The shop are close now. FML! I'm gonna spend unexpected emergency budget again.. Hope everything will be find tomorrow when I drive to work...

FML!

- Pre Christmas Part 8 -



It was a morning full of hope about getting things done nicely and constantly observed what would goes wrong and being proactive in viewing the constructive evidence to solve the mystery.

It was... Not until the three quarter of the rest of the day...

Life can be unexpected...

Seemingly Christmas is around the corner...  

Expect some miracles to mend the broken and ring the rugged bells again...

Savoring the unsavory...

Moving along, it was obvious exhaustion...

Christmas tree was lighted up...

The house is empty at the mid of the night...

Until I fall asleep on the couch...

Like nothing ever matter anymore...

Happy 冬至~~!

Yes... It's towards the end of the year again. Eating Tang Yuan is the only thing i need now... Older and wiser... at least, that's what they've said.



Meet up with ex uni friends for dinner after my own family dinner. It was nice talking about Full Moon Toast again. Its the most memorable food one should ever try in Curtin, Miri. Well, to tell you the truth, I had that every morning for breakfast. Nostalgic...

Anyway, Christmas is just around the corner. Hope I can reach the 10th Pre Christmas posts. Once again, Happy 冬至!

It was nostalgic to realize that this is the formula that get me from nothing to something in Mathematics. Thanks to Mr Lim (林), though I can't recall his last two Chinese name, he has been great in teaching this subjects. Physically, it was lots of pain on my hand after I got "rotan" for scoring 20/40 for objective questions that time. Guess what? Not only 1 "rotan" but 20 times because I got 20 questions mistakes.

From then on, it was a hell lots of pain. Mentally, all of our class are always prepared whenever Mr Lim came in to the class. No one dare to speak nor talk to each other even though my friend is sitting just beside me. The method of learning was drastically intensive and to top that, the students in our class all score A in our Primary 6 Examination.

*Sniff*Sniff*... that was history...

My flu just got started... I'm gonna have a rest for now...

- Pre-Christmas Part 1 -

Previous post was obviously... abstract. Straight to my point. The busiest time since... *Thinking*... June. After my friend's wedding beginning of June, came back to work and still, working. Though only take couple of leaves, I'm still working. Judging from the economy now, all the the business out are slowly blooming. The electronics market on the other hand, slowly pushing through into the market once again. 

Overall, it's a drastic measurement to hire back new employees especially ramping up  in business. What can we expect from all of this? New economy development? New Strategies? Organizational restructuring? or even new competencies require in order to catch up with the quality they need in every company. Quality wise. Like they've said, no matter how much quantity you have produce for your product, e.g. Dutch lady milk, at the end of the day, it's all about quality that serves the whole purpose. Communication is one of the most criteria listed in making the whole quality investment these employers have put into it. The top management are making things difference or should i say, making changes in order to reduce the liabilities and increase as much revenue as possible. Intensive location are observe mainly in Asia Market now.

Enough babbling about the market. Well, you can guess what will happened to people like me having. Sleepless night, stress increase, nonstop workloads, etc. you name it. The most important piece of information to tackle the situation above is, actually back to basic. Planning... That's the goal.

Seriously, I've been loosing focus after having those clumsy symptoms. At least couple of motivational talks getting my nerve up sometimes. After that, POOF! It all gone overnight. Pulling yourself up is hard, and the hardest, gain back the importance of putting everything into the picture again. Long term would be wise.

Guess not only me who are facing all these troubles after all. Anyway, Old Town White Coffee finally step foot in Kuching, again, finally.




At least i have alternative food to go for instead of going for McD everytime in the Air Port. Hor Fun ah Hor Fun, when will i have the chance to taste you. I will have the chance... Wait for me ooo...


In case you are wondering, this year Christmas starts tonight. Am bringing my parents out for A Christmas Carol 3D Movie viewing. Hope they like it, i mean it's in 3D. They will have the sense of 3D after tonight.

Alright, I'll better go prepare for tonight. See ya all in couple of days time for updates from me...
