The End of 2008, The begin of 2009

Today is Wednesday. Today is the last day in year 2008. As tomorrow will be start the new year 2009. What will happen in 2009, nobody will know. No one can actually 100% predict what will going to happen in 2009. Not even the horoscope or feng shui can 100% correct. But it maybe 50% accurate. Or it maybe turn into the guidance to the one future, but the future is always in our own hand to decide. Each individual is responsible for what will happen in the future. Let us hope that the year 2009 will be a good year for everyone. 

As for me, I will getting older and maybe wiser and stupid. But surely my hair turn gray more. Maybe because think to much and worry to much. Year 2009, will be the year I want to start with my new life. A family life. A life start with marriage, then plan to have my own kid, and the grow old. hahaha. still long way to grow old la me.  My New Year resolution this year will be category into few;

1. marriage

I want to get marry fast lioa. cannot wait to long. This is the 1st priority I want to get marriage.  

2. business

Plan to start my own coffee bar business in Labuan. But hope it will be successfully  this year. 

3. Strike lottery ticket

Last year was the bad year la. Strike lottery also a bit only. Hope year 2009 I can strike 6D. Not need to strike jackpot 1st la. Let daydream again about strike lottery.

4. Golf

Wish someone can give me a golf set for my new year gift. Or wait I kena lottery ticket just buy golf set. Mimpi la I ini...

5. Hope everything will go well this year. 

Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009

Holiday in Malaysia

Sadly during Christmas season I am currently working. It my rotation duty week for me to put my ass in my office. Everyone is having a holiday but I be working and standby. As you all know that job in oil and gas industry is 24/7 a year. Even with the price of oil dropping below US$40 per barrel, but the production still on, and exploration still carries on, the drilling still drill for new oil field. 

This year end, Christian will cerebrate Christmas last Thursday, and Muslim will cerebrate Awal Muharam which is fall last Monday. So most of the office staffs will have a holiday on 25 Dec. But Friday is working. Unfortunately, mostly will take leave on Friday. Because Saturday and Sunday will be weekend, and plus Monday is public holiday, thus it will be 5 days break from work. Alot of things can be done for 5 days off, like go sight seeing or balik kampung. And if take leave on Tuesday and Wednesday since Thursday will be New Year holiday it will be make up another 3 days off. And some may want to take another Friday off since Saturday and Sunday will be weekend, it will be 11 days day off. Just take 4 working day of leave, and every staff can complete almost 2 weeks of holiday in Malaysia. So enjoy the long holiday and happy new year 2009. 

T'was Before Christmas

This year Christmas eve, I am sitting in my office and working. No Christmas holiday this year like last couple of year back. In fact I was travelling from Labuan to Bintulu thru KK. Why? Because all the flight ticket from Labuan to Miri is full until 25 Dec. People must be rush to get home for Christmas. While I rush to get my ass in the office before noon for handover job from my colleague. He will then need to rush back home in Miri. I receive my early Christmas present from my Yen Ling. 

Hope that This year Christmas will be meaningfull and many wish to come. My wish is to strike lottery ticket this week. hohohoho

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Happy New Year

At last Yen Ling Got Her P

At last after few time test, my Yen Ling finally pass his driving test. She finally got her P. I fell so happy for her. Now I hope she will drive carefully when on the steering wheel. With another car for her to drive in Labuan, she can finally drive her own around the island. The white Suzuki Ignis is just for her, coz it small and suitable for her. 

Miss My Lover

I really miss my loved one. Of course Yen Ling. Cannot wait until Thursday to be back to Labuan and give her a hug and kiss. Yen Ling I miss you so much. I love you so much also.  

Early Morning Accident

Early morning I went to my office to work. It about 7am this morning and that is the peak period where most of the workers go to work in Kidorong area. So today, I decided not to go work early like 5.30a.m. because no much activities this morning. So I ask my driver to pick me up at 7 am, and drive straight to my office, which is at the end of the Kidorong highway. On the way, after the traffic light junction between the intersection to Kidorong and town, there massive traffic jam. It took more than 15 minute to reach the accident area. When there traffic jam in  between the kidorong road, surely I know there accident, especially during raining time and after raining. As reach nearer and nearer the accident area, I saw 4 cars hit each other. The worst is a van and proton saga. After pass the area, about 5 minute, saw another self accident. A car slip into the drain. Luckily the drain is not concrete. Only this morning alone, saw 2 accidents. Maybe more accident to come later. Hope not me. 

Something wrong about the picture

This photo is original taken while on the way to rig about 1 hour 40 minute from Bintulu, near to Similanjau area. In the picture 1, the rig look like 'sengget' on the left. In fact the rig is just straight. See picture 2 taken again. Wonder maybe something wrong with my digital camera or maybe there something on that area. I din not digitally modify as I not very good in digital modity the photo. Maybe I should learn.

I'm Yours by Jason Mraz

This is the lyrics one of the song I like now. Enjoy! 

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
and now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Scat

Well I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
My breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I've been saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours

There's no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Lottery, What the Waste of $$$

Each week surely there will be lottery draw. In Malaysia there 6 lottery company i.e. Magnum, Toto, Cash Sweep, Sabah Lottery, Sandakan 4D, & Da Ma Cai. And each draw day, there about 16 type of lottery, neither from 4D, 5D, 6D, Mega Jackpot, Super jackpot, Jackpot, or even 3D. Let put in example; If a gamble stay at Sarawak, surely there will be Magnum, Toto, and Cash Sweep. Magnum only have 4D, Toto have 4D, 5D, 6D, Super Jackpot, Mega Jackpot, Jackpot, and Cash Sweep have 4D and 3D. If plus every game, there will be 8 games. Let say this gamble bet on every type of game in the lottery. And each game he spent just RM1. Each draw date will cost him RM8. If in 1 week, surely there will be 24 games, which mean he spent RM24. In one month, he will spend about RM96. Surely a gamble will not bet in RM1 only. He will neither bet RM3 or 4 or RM10 even. How about if he win, surely his heart will want to put more bet on the next draw because his feeling of luck is in his hand. maybe he will bet RM50 even. 

I used to think that spend allot money in lottery like magnum or Toto can make I rich or millionaire. well don't be dreaming. If all the money spend on lottery, it will be wasteful. Just like our hard earn money burn like hell money. Lottery can buy. But not to spend the hard earn money like waste. I used to buy my car no and sometime my Lucky no only. Just for fun. Each time I buy my no, hoping that my luck will be on my side and can win some money. Even RM 60. But when the no suddenly win, my mind will ask why I dint buy at least RM2 or RM3. But what to do. It our greediness. I will write about greediness sometime.

Encouter Difficuties Thru Faith

Life cannot be smooth or calm as river. Life can be describe like a river . Imagine a river that sometime it can be calm like peace. Or sometime it can get rough passing thru the rapid. or sometime it can get low tide or high tide. The river that is calm doesn't mean it safe to swim or cross over. As the people in the interiors or those stay near the river always warm that the calm river, there must be a crocodile. So be careful. Or sometime the boat pass by the river will create the wave. And it depend how big the size of the boat. If the small boat, then the wave will be small. If the boat is big, then the wave will be big, and it can overturn the small boat or 'sampan'. Or sometime it can effect by low tide or high tide. If low tide, it make the boat difficult to pass or sail. But if high tide it can affect the village at the river bank. The river water also can be clear as crystal or muddy or even black.

Life is like the river. In cycle of life, from our childhood till our last day on earth, it can never be the same everyday. Even our every routine we do same job, but each second will be different. In life, it cannot be just the same all the time. Our life also cannot be calm all the time. Our heart cannot be calm or cool always. Unless we robot. Not to say mentally unsound, because mentally unsound also have the human feeling. Or sometime they will get angry or crazy. We can be cool or calm in our life, but until certain time, it will explode and it surely will made us angry, or sad, or very mad. Then we will try neither to blame our self or others.  When someone is hurting us, or make us angry, surely we will do something about it. Neither we get angry or mad with particular person, or whole group of people. Or someone is gossiping behind us, as we accidental listen to it. How do we fell about it? we may get hurt, or angry or no mood, or even we fell like the world is not fair to me.

In our life, there is always the problems and difficulties in our life. Some of the problems or difficulties cannot be solve just like overnight. Let us imagine.... One day, I when to see the doctor for my routine medical check up, and then when the results out, the doctor tell me that there maybe some mistake in the medical report. Then I when for re-do the medical test again. But the result still the same. So the doctor tell me that there some abnormal growth somewhere in my body. So the doctor ask me to calm because it still not sure neither it was cancer or tumor or just non harmful growth. When the doctor just mention the scary word - cancer, tumor or we just enter into our own 'fear factor' surely our heart will jumping up and down. We will ask what shall I do about it. All kind of questions is popping out in our mind. Some of the questions is logic, some even sarcastic questions. But what we will do while waiting for the final confirmation from the doctor before further treatment? Most of us will start to pray to God. No matter what religion, we will ask God. The first question will be - WHY....? We will take faith as our hope that it will be over or to help us pass the storm of our sickness. We will hopping that it will not be cancer or tumor. Or another situation maybe in financial crisis. One day, suddenly the world market when down. KLCI shot down like 45 degree below 0 and most of the share market loss. And all my money I invested burn like hell money. And within minute, the money gone like a wind. So then I start to pray. Pray to all kind of god. From god of fortune to god of wealth. even to god of kitchen or start praying to all kind religion. As long can hoping for miracle. Any kind god also never mind. so panic and hoping it will recover. Otherwise my family will start eat grass like cow (free ma). This is 2 scenarios that may happen to each of us. Hope it not happen.

Each of our human being is created to have this mysterious feeling of faith. Faith is something very mysterious in human life. Our faith will become stronger and stronger when difficulties arrive in our doorstep. Faith is like trust. or belief. or hope. Like we put in our trust to God. We belief in God or supreme being. In this world, there are many religion. Every second new religion is establish.  We will belief in our faith that through our faith it can over come our difficulties of our life.  Even our faith is as small as mustard seed, it shall overcome all kind of difficulties in our life. 

Day Off

Another 2 weeks pass and soon I be having my off for 2 weeks. But what am I going to do during my holiday. Maybe I should take a long day off. I was sick since Monday evening. But just recovery today. Just take few tablet of panadol. Even sick also need to work. Coz no one to replace my job until my partner back from his off day. I just want to have a good rest before I coming to work end of October.

Work before Sunrise till Sunset

Yes. Tomorrow is Sunday. It a rest day. But for me.... Not really a rest day. In my calendar there no such thing as Public Holiday. or even Sunday. My only Public holiday is when my turn to have 2 weeks off from my work. That mean completely off and no phone call. But when my turn to work for 2 weeks, there will be no peace and rest. Work like 24 a day for 14 days. But some how I like the work. Even I have to wake-up at 4 am in the morning. My schedule of work is before the sunrise i will start my day. And it end until end of the day. 

Life in Logistic

Almost 2 weeks I been in Bintulu since the 1st Oct. And another few more day I will off from my duties and heading back to my resting place. My mind is fell tired and exhausted. I been working like 24 hours. Even when I sleep, my hp must be next beside me. In case any emergency call from the rig. Who know, anything can be happen. I just really need a break. Maybe 2 week rest is enough for me. Otherwise to long holiday can destroy my body into laziness. It hard for me to start my engine especially after the long break. It need time and slow motion to gain back my workaholic. Only after the few day, then I can really back into my mood of working. 

My job in logistic field is one of the busy and hectic type of job I can say. Logistic is about movement from one location to another location. Neither is cargo or personnel. It can be myself moving from one location to another location. For example, going to work everyday from my house to office. Or when how to bring my CD to my friend oversea? All this required bit of planning even it already in our daily routine.  In life, not everyday be the same day. Don't expect that tomorrow will be the same as today. Or next week will be the same as this week. Or even next year be the same as this year. Thing will never be the same. Even lifeless being like metal will even get rusty next year. 

I just don't know why I ended up in this field. From the first day of my work life, I been in the logistic section. Until to this day, still in logistic section. I never studies logistic before. Logistic study was not very famous during my study year back in the 90's. The word 'logistic' only appear in subject like management or in marketing only. But just a small scope of it. It want to study logistic, it would be best start with Supply Chain or Warehousing. Because it all related with each other. But for me to know about supply chain, warehousing and logistic is because it start from my experiences in work field. I been working in timber company. That is how I know the 20' and 40' container. My superior even ask me to measure the length of the container. hahaha. Until I work with 100% logistic and forwarding company. It about everything I want to know. From cargo movement to vessel movement. From custom clearance to vessel clearance. From import to export. All kinds of equipment I seen before. Even soya bean or corn maize I been cleared. Until I fully join in oil and gas company, I still in logistic. Guest the word logistic will be in my mind forever. 

Time & Mind

At last, I have the time to breath and bit time for me to write in my blog after a week long busy day and night. When during my 2 weeks off from my work, time seem to be very fast, it seem like a brink of eye. But when come to my 2 weeks working, time seem to be very slow. Why? This is because, when during my off day, I tend to think not to go work. Lazy. But during my 2 weeks working, I was thinking that time may go fast so I may off again. But somehow, when I try to think, or to make time fast to pass, it seem to be very slow. In fact, the time is still normal. Still 24 a day, 7 day a week. Only our mind make it seem slow.

Little Town at Sea

This is one of the drilling rig which I currently working with, located at S'wak High Sea. I not working in the rig, but on shore as support team for the off shore. The name of the rig is Hercules 208. I been into the rig while it was 'modification' at Pasir Gudang. 

Tired ....

Now almost midnight, and I still in office. There some urgent tool need to be send to the rig. So what to do? Have to wait till the guy from Labuan come delivery the tool to me all the way till Bintulu. My life for the pass 2 week was tired and sleepless. Wake up early in the morning and go back late. This is the life of a person working in oil and gas industry. Lucky for me, that I work 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off. Tomorrow will be my last day before I take 2 weeks off from my work. No phone call, and sleep late and wake up late. I really need a life after this. 

And just come to my knowledge a moment ago, that one of the crew boat that is been hired by my company, found a body of a person floating in the sea. So now on the way to bring the body to the hospital. Still not sure any detail of the body. Hopefully not our crews.

Stressful, but manage to cope

Yesterday, I was having a very good sleep. Thank God no one disturb me the whole nigth and morning. So I managed to sleep straight till almost 9.30am. I been busy working since last Wednesday noon. Day and night, and early morning before the muslim sahur, I already start. Go to office at about 5 am in the morning. Straight till late evening. Or shut down during 3 am in the morning, also have to do action plan for it. It the nature of the job and it dealing with oil and gas industry. Luckly I in Shore base logistic.

Logistics mean having the right thing at the right time and at the right place. Which is very important in oil and gas industries. In this industry, meaning everything is money. even time is money. Just 1 or 2 hours of shut down, it can cause thousand of dollor gone. So everything must be in fast and accurate. I not robot, but just human being. Not no say that everything I do will be perfect. Even I will do mistake. But try to minimize the mistake. Now I just monitoring 1 drilling rig only. But end of the week, need to add up another drilling rig which make up to 2 rig. Hope it won't be stressful.

This time my job also stressful, but with the past experience, I managed to cope with it and learned from my past experience of how to handle stress and put it into useful tool in my job. Except that my neck pain, that required my Yen Ling to massage my back when I get back.

The Starting of My Busy day

What a busy day for me since yesterday noon after the handover the duties to me. Well now my turn to live as busy life for the next 2 weeks. I been not get enough sleep. Yesterday, I just just have my breakfast at Bt. Niah. And after reach Miri, straight to my office for hand over duties from my colleague. An my only meal is dinner at 9pm. And this morning, I wake up early. before the cock crow, I already wake up, and to office an the end of Bintulu. And the work start for me to handling 18 crews to Hercules 208. And coming out from Hercules 208 about 1 crews. But it not really stress as I managed to handle it before. Last time my previous company
lagi teruk. Even to compose my blog also no time. But hope that everything will goes well and smooth operation.

Back to Work

Today my last night in Labuan. After spending day off from work. Tomorrow will be fly off to Miri, and the next day by bus to Bintulu where I will resume my duties at noon. Surely I will miss the one I love most. My Yen Ling of course la. I will be lonely in Bintulu. No one to go dating everyday. Not like in Labuan where everyday, Yen Ling would be accompany me, go pak toh everyday, and like most couple would do. Have to wait till middle of the month only I be back again.

Hope my journey would be safe and reach Miri or Bintulu in one piece. If not one piece, mean patah kaki ka, patah tangan ka, or mata hilang 1 biji ka....(kena accident la tu).

Happy Birthday Yen Ling

Today is Yen Ling Birthday. Yup both of us born in same year. We are just 1 month apart from each other. I really miss her birthday this year because I have to work and still in Bintulu, while she in Labuan. But early this month before I travel to Bintulu, I brought her birthday present. She was happy when I give her birthday present. It would be nice if I can be with her today and give her the birthday kiss and give her the flower like before and she would be very happy. I like to make her happy. She cute when she happy. Well I only can kiss her when I be back to Labuan this Thursday. Can't wait to be back this Thursday and kiss Yen Ling.

Happy Birthday Yen Ling!

The Begin of the week

Back to work again after the weekend. It been interesting weekend for me. Well just like normal weekend. Noting different happen actually. Except that I been to the Kite Festival in Bintulu. And also to watching the Olympic Badminton final match between M'sia (Chong Wei) and China (Lin Dan). Sadly and like most of us know already even before the game start, M'sia will get silver. Only miracle M'sia can get gold in Olympic.

Hope it will be a good week ahead. Hope there will be a good news to get my car back this week.

Weekend is Coming

Yup! Another weekend is coming soon. Tomorrow will be Saturday, which mean I no need to go to work and also for me to having my break off. Not like before in my previous company, Saturday also work. Ok la.. half day still ok.. but sometimes or most of the time it whole day. Even Sunday also work! Mana ada overtime lagi! It seem the company is taking all the advantage.

Hope tomorrow I will make use of my weekend. Maybe just hang out at town, or watch cinema at cineplex, or just lepak. Not like last week where I when back to Miri for my weekend. This week I will stay in Bintulu only. As this coming Wednesday, I shall start my 2 weeks break off. I will be back to Labuan this Thursday evening and to met with my dearest Yen Ling. Miss her very much!

Past & Present in Working Life

I really like the working environment in my new job. Every work there must be pressure and stress. But it depend what the level of stress one will encounter. But I really like the environment in my office. So quite and far away from town of Bintulu. Not really stressful and the work is OK la. Why I say not that stressful? Because the project that I monitor still not yet start. That why it zero stress and pressure. Plus the environment is surrounding by the little jungle. Every morning I can listen to the bird singing on my window. It a black with white coloured bird. Don't know what it called. The coffee is always there in the coffee maker. Plus, there always a free breakfast in the kitchen everyday! Compared to my last job, It less stress and working environment is much better. Well below are 10 comparissons I make;

Present Job (M)

1. Zero Stress (Project not start yet)

2. Can have a good nite sleep

3. Cola (not coka-cola la) every month

4. Good pay and working environment

5. Good working environment - fair and square.

6. Free coka-cola and soft drinks in office for staffs (ini baru coka-cola minum)

7. Free breakfast everyday

8. Each staff just do his/her own duties only

9. Take time to complete the job... but must complete within or before due time

10. well... still a good place to work in


Previous Job (H)

1. Stressful until can get hypertension in work.

2. Nightmare...even thinking of work before sleep, during sleep and wake up.

3. Cola apa? Coka-cola untuk clients pun kena beli sendiri

4. Teruk punya. Pilih kasih punya la. If the new staff the HQ related to big boss, surely semua kasi punya.

5. Naik gaji jangan harap la... Susah nak naik punya

6. Jangan kata staffs! Clients datang office meeting, nak beli coka-cola pun muka masam sudah. Kena beli sendiri punya. Just served Mineral water. Itu pun kalau boleh paling murah punya. 50 cents!

7. Breakfast?! Kena beli sendiri. If company provided everyday, bankrupt!!! how to take care of the staff like this?

8. If dapat, 1 staff buat kerja 10 staffs...

9. Sorry la. Start 8.00 am, kerja kerja kerja saja la. Semua urgent punya. Tak urgent pun jadi urgent.

10. Aduh... kalau dapat, lepas dapat bonus, keluar la... (my ex-staffs told me)

But thing now change as I managed to get into better job in Oil & Gas Company i.e. one of the best and well do company in Malaysia. Well it a miracle to enter that company, as alot application, only me can accepted into it. Big thank you for all those help me to get into this company. Hope it will last me in the company until my retirement.

Couple Love - Journey in the same boat

Each one of us as human being must experiencing the word 'love' in our life. Not necessary to be in romantic kind of relationship or sexual relationship, even into the experiencing the love of parent (mum and dad) or brotherly love between own blood or close friendship, or love between human and God.

The meaning of Love can be interpret into the context of religion. Each religion give the wonderful mean of it Love from God to Man. In Christian context the word love can be put into several categories i.e. 1)Agape - charitable, selfless, altruistic, and unconditional love, 2) Phileo - brotherly love, 3) Eros - Sexual love, and 4)Storge - child-to-parent love. Christian believe that the whole salvation history is derives from God's Love unto us. Because of Love, God send his only Son, Jesus into the world for us and for mankind. Even until today, to work of God's Love still can be experiencing today by each individual. Or in Buddhism, Love can be put into 3 meaning i.e. 1) Kama - sexual love, Karuna - compassion and mercy, 3) Adve sa & Maitri - benevolent love , unconditional love. Well if you wan to know detail of each religion about Love, you may search in wikipedia or in the Internet.

The Love I would like to share is the love of affection and sexual attraction between man and woman, or boy and girl. This is the kind of love that will lead to relationship as being couple. And eventually will lead to marriage life. This kind of love can be wonderful or can be stressful... It can happen to everyone who undergo this kind of relationships. When the couple are in the in love to each other, they are begin to journey into the same boat. Imagine the boat sail from one place to another location. Alone the journey, it will not be a smooth journey. The sea surely will not calm all the way. There may be rain, storm, sun shine, or windy, but what important is the couple must face it together in the same boat. This can be challenging for everyone, not even before enter into marriage life. It just the beginning. Once the couple be able to go through all the rough sea together, surely they will be able to start the new journey in marriage life, and as later as parent. The journey will start when both are into the serious relationship as so called boyfriend-girlfriend. It will be the test for each to be together and to work together out of respect to love each other. If each of the couple were in deeply in love, surely they will encounter the problem together no matter what happen. It is because the bond of love is so great. One the bond of love is so great, no matter what happen, surely is will be unbreakable and noting will be able to break off the chain of it.

Rules for Happy Marriage

I was having my break off back to Miri for the weekend. I really need a break after all since last week was my bad day. (You may want to read my previous blog to find out). After all, It also good for me. I managed to survey some of the thing I really needs to do in my life. The biggest commitment I want to do this year and next year is for my preparation for my marriage life. Guest it not really easy to plan for the wedding after all. Allot things need to be done. But still allot thing need to be done. After all I never get marry before and this going to be the first time. I just managed to do my wedding budget. Since many things need to cut here and there. Things getting expensive. But with the budget cut, I still able to plan for the wonderful wedding for me and Yen Ling. I prefer to have my wedding reception in Labuan. I like there and hope to be there. After all I found the best location for my wedding dinner will be. It near the beach site and at the poolside. It would be a wonderful wedding reception with Chinese style dinner. I find it more interesting for me because I want it to be different from other Chinese style wedding reception that used to be. Guest almost every chinese couple will plan almost for the same wedding reception i.e. having in restaurant or hall indoor style. After all, I will marry 1 time in my life time only. And it would be a great story to put into my wedding album.



But still allot things I need to do. And I just have less than a year to do the planning and most importantly to save money. Otherwise my Yen Ling would be very very angry with me. hehehe... Time just cannot wait any longer for us to enter into marriage life.

I really need to understand the Philosophy of Rules for Happy Life and to apply it.... (Below is one of it)

Rules for Happy Marriage

Never both be angry at the same time;
Never yell at each other unless the house is on fire;
If one of you has to win an argument, let it be your wife;
If you have to criticize, do it lovingly;
Never bring up mistakes in the past;
Neglect the whole world, rather than each other;
Never go to sleep with arguments unsettled;
At least one everyday try to say one kind or complimentary word;
When you have done something wrong, be ready to admit it;
It takes two to make a quarrel and the one is in the wrong is the one who does most of the talking;

Worry & Confuse

"....Worry is one of two components of anxiety (the other being emotionality). Worry refers to negative self-talk that often detracts the mind from focusing on the problem at hand. Emotionality refers to physiological symptoms such as sweating, increased heart beat and raised blood pressure...." taken from Wikiquote at http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Worry

Life is full of unexpectation especially what is ahead of us. We cannot expected everything will be 100% thing will be ok or according to our expectation in the plan. Don't go for high expectation in our life. There also up and down in our life. No human being is 100% normal. As we are just human being. Not a robot. We all maybe do some planning in our life. Or to plan something that we want it to occurs what is best for us and without failure that can dissapointing ourself, if the plan goes beyong our plan. That is why, always there is last minute change in the plan. Or unexpected things happen that can effects what we plan for. It never goes beyong normal. Or someone is spoil your plan for no reason. When things goes unexpectedly as what we plan, somehow we will get worry and nervous. This is normal as we all human.

This is what happens to me in the last few day when I want to coming to Miri/Bintulu by my car. Somehow at the last Brunei exit, my car is confiscated by the Brunei Custom because of just couple of liquor in my car. As what I plan, to drive down to Bintulu via Brunei (no choice but have to pass Brunei as the only road to Miri). But until the last boarder, thing goes beyong my control and immagination. This is not what I planned before I start my journey from Labuan to Miri. And this is my first time also, and as what I told the officer, they should give me a change to let go me as a warning. But no at all. When I encounter this situation, I my mind start to confused and all kind of mixed feeling surrounded me. Even until now, I still worry of my car, that is still detain at Brunei. Hope is will all pervail. and that my car can be release in short time, so that my feeling of worries can be disappear soon.

Hope that the song, Don't worry, Be happy can relieve my worry a bit.

Journey of Bad Day in Life

I been having a very very bad day for last 2 days ago. Really f**king day in my life. The felling of worries, and tensions, and fear. It started on the 5th August, 08, when I was about to resume my duties in Bintulu. So this time I planned to drive to Bintulu from Labuan. My journey start at 6.30a.m. from Ferry terminal Labuan. And the ferry depart Labuan at 7.45 am. Well below is the time frame of my journey back to Bintulu, overnite at Miri and the next day continue to drive to Bintulu..(that was my plan), until the fu*king incident happen near the Sg Tujuh boarder between Brunei and Miri. It was so close but yet still far way...It was the last stop at Brunei before reach Miri..

10.00 a.m - Arv Menumbok Terminal
10.45 am - Arv @ Beaufort, Sabah
11.25 a.m - Arv Sipitang, Sabah. Having my lunch at Sipitang.
12.00 p.m - Continue journey
12.20 p.m - Arv at Sabah/Sarawak boarder - Sindumin
12.45 p.m - Arv Lawas Town, Sarawak
1.15 p.m - Pos Immigration Mengkakap, Sarawak
1.20 p.m - To cross over the Trusan river by feri
1.30 p.m - Brunei Immigration, Labu
2.10 p.m - Brunei Immigration, Puni, Exit to Limbang Town, Sarawak
2.15 p.m - Cross over the Puni River
2.35 p.m - Immigration Malaysia at Limbang
2.20 p.m - Limbang Town, having my break
2.55 p.m. - Continue journey
4.15 p.m - Enter intu Kuala Lurah Immigration Pos, into Brunei
6.45 p.m - Arv Sg Tujuh Immigration Check point.. the Custom officer check the car.

And the bad luck of my day start here... the custom officer stop me from continue my journey, b'coz I was bring alone some bir - about 8 can only! and 2 bottle of Vat 69, 1 bottle Bacardi Lemon and 1 bottle Johnny Walker Red Lable and 2 carton of Pall Mall. It not just for me to sell or what so ever. After the begging and begging again, the stupid custom do not wan to let me go. Instead to hold me and to investigate me back to Kulau Belait. Worst still is my car is being hold, maybe for 2 week or less or more. And only after almost 11.00, with stupid statement, I was release and go off. What the worst is that the custom officer is so stupid until do not what to do and not even know how to spell. Form in English, written in Bahasa!!! and from taking just my statement only, it took 3 officers to composed it!!!! what worst still is they keep asking each others the same things again and again. And they told me that my car need to be hold in Brunei until the investigation complete. So I need to take almost everything out of my car and of course my bag and document bag. And walk to the bus station at Kuala Belait. Thank to some of them also to few custom officer who is friendly and willing to take me to Seria to find cheap inn, but I decline. No money that time lor to stay at Inn, and if I stay at Seria, I need to back to Kuala Belait to take the bus to Miri. Only Kuala Belait have the bus to Miri.

The first person in my life I call is my future wife - Yen Ling. She the first person I call and told her what happen. Well I was worry about her also, since she will be my wife very soon. When you are very in love with person u like, you will thinking of that person and let the person you love very much know what happen to you. So I managed to call Yen Ling while I was at Custom Office at Kuala Belait. And I told her I will call her back latter. So when it finish with the Custom, I was looking for the telephone boot to call her again and to told her not to worry. Guest she the one who ask me not to worry. Only after that, I call my brother to tell him what happen to me.

So for few hours starting from 12 midnite till the next day, the cement chair near the Bus Station will be my bed and place to sleep. No mood to eat my dinner also. (where got mood to eat after all this incident happen.) I take my shower in public toilet. Luckily no one was around. Beside the town is so quite and dead. It a Islamic state!!!! No Entertainment after midnite!!!! Everybody must sleep early!!! If you don't sleep early, the police will fined you!!! It was very hard for me to sleep. Luckily there a old apek was collecting can, so take my time to chit chat with him. I was surprised he told me that nowaday even rice also cannot bring out from Brunei!!!! If like this, better don't encourage people to go there and do shopping la. If shopping there, then latter, conficated also at boarder then what the point of it. After the apek left, I was alone, I try to get some sleep and rest, but my mind was worry and keep thinking of my Yen Ling back in Labuan. I can feel she was very worry about me also just like I worry about her.

The next early morning, about 6.00 a.m, I went to the bus station and waiting for the bus. And it happen, that I was chit chat with 1 man from Miri and wanted to go back Miri. It happen also that last month, he brought 1 bag of rice and wanted to bring back to Miri. Unfortunely at the boarder his rice was taken by the custom at Brunei. For me this is really bad, not only for own country, but also an expression to neightbour country like Sarawak. Immagine, we go Brunei do to the shopping, and wanted to bring it back home, then the custom not allowed you to bring the thing crossover. Then what point to go there? It will be bad for the ecomony of the country especially in the future. Guest after the oil run dry, wonder the Brunei economy will depend on the market and people consumer. By that time, there will depend on neighbour country to do shopping. But what for it, when we buy their things that cannot bring back? Better don't buy at all. No wonder alot Mirian don't want to do shopping in Brunei. Miri is much better to do shopping. Better the f**king Br***i *a*ay are not allow to enter into Miri or Limbang. After all, once they arrive Miri or Limbang, they become two face!!!!

Upon arriving at Miri bus station, I took another bus to Bintulu, coz I need to work. But no mood to work yesterday since I really had my bad day. And I was exhausted and very tired. The whole journey from Miri to Bintulu, I managed to take some sleep and rest. This was the first time incident happen to me. But worst case is my car is in Brunei and I need to claim it back. Hopefully the process will be fast and easy for me to claim back. Wish my car is like batmobile which can self destroy like in the latest Batman movie - the Dark Prince.


The below song will fit me having my bad day. And the title is also Bad Day by Daniel Powter,


Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

(Oh.. Holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day

Busy Date!

Since I back to Labuan for my off duty for about 2 weeks, I been going around the town and must spend every single time with my gf. Guest I will be have very limited time to write in my blog for couple of day. You know la.... busy dating with Yen Ling.
Will try to write something once got any idea and topic.

Haf a break...

How it feel like be your last day working before you take a break off from your duties. Today will be my last day in office for the month of July before I leave to Miri tomorrow and then fly to Labuan on Friday to meet up with my darling. It been since almost 2 weeks I din't met her. Well busy with my travelling to KL and Johor for business trip. Unfortunately she can't follow coz' she need to work in Labuan. But my plan is to finding a job for her in Bintulu. Only I can find a job, then she will want to go Bintulu, so that she can be with me in Bintulu. In this way, we can be together always. But we will plan to get marry soon (very very soon) and stay in Bintulu for time being. It because of my job in Bintulu most of the time.

Once again, it good to have my off day. Can sleep late, and do alot thing. Maybe I should start play golf. Not at golf field with the pro. Just start at golf range first. Still the beginner for me. Just to pass time only. But I need to survey for the golf equipments first.

Marriage

The come has come. Come for what ler? To enter into marriage life, especially with the person whom I dating for quite sometime...(it been 5 years dating already) and plan to start with our own life as husband and wife. I been thinking througly about marriage life. It will be not the same as single life like before. Like before can enjoy. After marriage, only can enjoy at home. If want enjoy, then our wife have to follow also. So I plan to get marriage early next year. But surely must go register first. Plan to register next month with my future wife. It will the new beginning for both of us. Well the step, both me and my yen ling will shoulder together, in sadness and happiness, in sick and well, and most of all, be together till the end of time...

Politics

Guest by now alot people, espcially the Malaysian know the news of Annuar Ibrahim (AI) arrested by the police about 1.15p.m. today. Well here the interesting story about the non-sense and unaccurate information by the government. Guest nowaday all the information is not 100% accurate.

Today headline in the major newspaper "2PM DEADLINE". And I was reading the news article about it. It stated that the police will given AI until 2.00 p.m. today to come freely to give the statements at police station in KL. Well, guest this will the final conditions set-up by the police to AI, and to give him the last change. Well the police have the right to do so. By 1.15p.m., that another 45 minute before the deadline of 2p.m., the police come and arrest AI, and bring him to police station for his statements and inquiries. It make him like he been guity and was forcefully taken to police station, even the deadline not yet come.

Where is promises make by them? Cakap lain, buat lain... But let us see what will happen in this few days. Guest the politics in Malaysia start to get very interesting. Much interesting that the US Presidency Ellection.

Horoscopes ... the future

Horoscope! Why most of us read the horoscope everyday. Some never miss the section of horoscope in newspaper. or internet. or in magazine. Imagine, we wake up in the morning, take the newspaper, open the section where there is TV programmes and comic, and our eye fixed to the horoscope column. And fix our eye to the star we born like Leo, Libra, etc... and we read and read and read and then think it this will be what happen to me today? or something else will happen? Some of us might think that the horoscope is almost accurate. or can say 100%? Well to tell the truth I also read my own horoscope. And then I start to think..... Is this real? or just happen to be happen?

For me, sometimes it can be true and sometimes not. But it up to me how I interpret the meaning of it. Guest most of us wan to know what is our future. But it up to us how we set our future will be. Our future and life is not set by other people or someone. But it our beliefs that will help us to set our future.

Monday Blue

Yes. Today is Monday. And most of us will named it Monday blue. After all the actions on weekend, our energy seem to be zero. So it contributed to lazy Monday. Unfortunately, Monday is the day, most of us must go the work. Because we need to go office, and plus no energy, we tend to be very tired, no mood, and lazy to work. That is what happen to most of us. Like me this morning,
1. Wake up at 6.30a.m.
2. Breakfast at 7.00 a.m
3. Go to office at 7.30 a.m
4. Arrive office at 7.40 a.m.
5. Sit on my desk about 20 minute.
6. Read newspaper....
7. by near 10.00 a.m. sleeply.

Fell like no mood to work today lor. But as part of life, it a routine. Tak kerja mana dapat cari makan. Luckily, not many work to be done in office today. Part of it because, project not start, so I still have time to honeymoon in my office.

Sunday, Sunday

Oh Sunday, It a rest day that the Lord make for us. For as on the seventh day, it shall be the rest day for all. As for me, it good for me to rest. after the week of tiring working, esp traveling to Kuala Lumpur and Johor for business trip. Until my leg is cramp. because of walking to much.

Guest I must rest tonite. It will be the beginning of new week. p.s. Batman, the dark prince will be showing this Thursday. Must go and see.

Lilli pop Candy at Bath Tub

After arriving at KLIA from Bintulu on 7th July, I went straight to hotel for check in thru KLIA express . I was put up in Trader Hotel, near to KLCC area. Just near to the KLCC park. If fact it just working distant. It was a classy hotel. Well guest the room is just like normal hotel room. Got flat screen tv, good min bar, etc.. just like normal deluxe type room.But to my surprise, only 1 particular thing that make it different from any hotel I ever stay before. I notice there a lollipop candy on the towel, on top of the bath tub. Guest why must be the lollipop to be place there? Surely I won´t suck the lollipop while bath. Maybe it just for some other things. Surely one can use own imagination for the use of it, especially for couple.

After the check in, ask my colleague to walk around KL city, since this is the first time he visit KL. So, I bring him eat at Petaling Street area. Since I like the food there. Good good and cheap for me. (KL price la). After the diner, we walk to Petaling Street. Just sight seeing only. Din´t buy anything there. After that, we walk back, by pass Bt. Bintang area, then to KLCC. By the time walk back, it near 10.30p.m. lioa. It been a tiring day. Just keep walking only. But on tomorrow will be a meeting at KLCC, my office. Only be free at evening only.

Then on Wednesday 9 July, early morning, before the sunrise, I need to go to Johor, for see the rig at Pasir Gudang. I check out from the hotel at 5a.m. Took the teksi from hotel to KLSentral, and straight toKLIA. Well, it cost less than RM50 only per person. But, my colleague, who ask to used the teksi, from Hotel to KLIA, cost RM150!!!! Oh my God, so damn expensive. Even I use teksi from teksi from KLIA to City just cost RM 70 only. Maybe use limo ka... But I insists it, and just follow my plan. We he agreed and bit worry. You know la, never go KL and didn´t know how the life here.

After arriving at Senai Airport, I went straight to Pasir Gudang, to see the rig. The drilling engineer gave us the tour around the rig. Ita small drilling rig which can occupied about 90 crews. After the visit, we when check in at Puteri Pacific Hotel at JB. At afternoon, I go walk at the city. My hotel is near the boarder of JB n S´pore. Noting much to shopping at JB. If I wan go shopping, I would rather go with my Yen Ling. She the expert in shopping.

The following day, Thursday, I wake up late. I put the alarm at 7.15am. In fact, 7.15am, is the time I must go to airport. So, wake up, rush to bath. and skip breakfast. Rush to the teksi. And what I hate most is my colleague keep calling me. So I get bit frustrated with him. But fortunately I managed to reach airport in time. From JB I fly to KL, KL to Bintulu.

Me and background of my hotel at KLCC

Trader Hotel, KLCC

Business Trip

I just received a news that I need to attend a meeting in KL this coming Monday. Well the flight ticket and hotel already booked from my hq this morning. After the meeting, the next day, I need to travel down to Pasir Gudang to inspect the rig.

But........ I am damn tired to travel to KL for meeting. Don´t know why. Maybe because I hate HSE meeting. In fact this meeting is about HSE. Well, I guest I will stop over here. Need to plan for my trip.

Remembered the past....

Now I back in Labuan for my holiday. In fact I was already 4 days here. Well to tired to composed any post. Only today only I find there some time for me to compose something. even I don´t have anything to type. Well just type whatever it come out from my head....
Want to post some picture of the Labuan Island, which I took when I w still working with my old company in shipping and forwarding. I was in fact going to the vessel by speed boat. Just like go for search and rescue for some crew. hahaha. What a good experienced that time for me.

Nite at Beaufort, Sabah

I overnite at Beaufort. Stopover only coz I cannot make it to Menumbok ferry in time. Well Beaufort is just a small town, and it a by-pass to Kota Kinabalu. it just like Batu Niah, Sarawak. But the town is blend with old and new shophouse. Guest it look like before the WWW II. The shop house is looked very old, but still functioning, with shop shop operating. Maybe take over from grand father time to father then to son. Pity din,t take camera with me. But next time I take some photo.

Journey for Miri to Beaufort

What a tired day for me. I been driving since this morning t 9a.m. from Miri to Labuan. Unfortunately have to overnite at Beaufort. Cannot catch the 4.30p.m ferry. I arrive Beaufort about 4.00 p.m. and if I continue to drive to Menumbok, I be reaching there about 5.30p.m. And worst still I need to sleep inside my car. No inn there. Blame for the long queue at Kuala Lurah Immigration check point. What a long queue.

I start my journey at 9am from Miri. But today I use the different route to reach another end Brunei, using kampung way, guest it shorter compare to the highway route via Jerudong. I pump my petrol at Kuala Lurah brunei Shell. Unfortunately, for Malaysian to buy petrol in Brunei, it sell with more expensive price. Compare to last time. Guest Brunei is starting to follow Malaysia way now. Last time with just B$10.00, it almost fill more then half of ny tank. Nowm just 1 bar only. By the time I reach Kuala Lurah Immigration post (Brunei boarder), the queue was long. It took me more than 30 minute to stamp my passport. Luckly for for Malaysia passport, I no need to wait so long at Malaysia boarder. So by the time after I pass both Immigration, it almost 12pm. And I speed up to reach Limbang. I managed to reach Limbang about 12.45p.m. Take my lunch at Limbang. What a fast lunch. It took me 15 minute to finish. Need to rush to Menumbok ferry lor.

So my journey start from Limbang about 1.15p.m. and I drive to Lawas, pass thru Temborong (Brunei again) Stamp my passport 4 times. And finally reach Sedumin (Boarder between Sarawak and Sabah). So I drive as fast as I can and trying to reach Menumbok before 4.30p.m. But others car is driving fu*** slow. Want to overtake also difficute, coz the road is not stable, and like snake. It make me tension also to overtake. I managed to pass by Sipitang about 3.30p.m. I just pass Sipitang and straight to Beaufort. By the time I reach Beaufort about 4p.m. I make my decision to overnite at Beaufort. My journey will continue tomorrow morning abt 8.30.m., need to reach Menumbok for 10.30a.m ferry. It just another 61km from Beaufort.

Rumours Spark Panic

I just received a rumours about 3p.m. today that all the petrol kiosks in Miri, Bintulu, Labuan, KK, (almost effect whole Sarawak, Sabah, Labuan) will be on shut down for 3 days. We don´t know what the actual cost and who start the rumours. But the effect of the rumours is tremendously effect each one of us. Immediately after office hours, people queue up at all the petrol stations. It cause traffic jam to other road users. But there must be reason for it.

So what make this rumours to spread so fast. People is queue like mad. Like the world will be end. Or like the oil will run out of stock. Imagine 20 years to come, when the oil will start runing low, I guest the whole population will start buying petrol like wild. maybe riot will happen. or people start killing each other for petrol. We don know what will happen next.

Guest the government start rising the fuel is in wrong time, and surely not the correct way of increasing the petrol price so dramatically without considering the attitude of we Malaysian. But what happen to Petronas? it ?. So many reasons been given by them. and the reason keep changing. What are they try to tell us? What happen to all the profit they got? We all the profits Petronas earns, it can channel back the rakyat by reducing the price of the petrol. In fact the government not even to subzised the petrol. The money then can channel for other use.

Well, we just have to wait and see what happen next. The world crude oil will surely increase. Even after the emergency Oil meeting submit in Jeddah recently, the committee still find no resolve for the decrease of the crude oil per barrel, even the Arab country agreed to increase it production.

Guest we all need to bear the high price of the petrol nowaday. Now my petrol cost for me to journey from Bintulu to Labuan is cost about RM140!!!

Weekend

Today is just like any other Sunday. Well in fact it just another boring Sunday. In fact weekend. i find it most boring day today. Well now in Bintulu, and just don´t know where to hang out. Well luckily there some shopping center to visit to. But most of the time just spent about less then 1 1/2 hrs only. Just drop by at cd shop and try to look for any new dvd movie. Just can´t wait for my 2 weeks break off this coming Thursday. Be going back to Labuan to be reunion with my Yen Ling after away for two week.

After Shock of the Tsunami Ellection

After reading the news this few days, alot things happening in Malaysia, especially about our politic. What really gone wrong with our politic nowadays. After the Tsunami election, the coalition party get the slim margin 1st place in the parliment. Well the opposition get most of the seat this time. And even after the election finish, we still feel the after shock from the tsunami. Even after earth quake or tsunami, there still is after shock to follow. This after-shock of the political turmoil will continue until the next general election. But what ever the after-shock it going to be next, surely we as rakyat want the best from the government, no matter who will be the government, it better served the raykat. Not the government served its own MP.

What a Relieve!

This early June 2008, especially after long holiday for Sarawak & Sabah (Gawai & Kaamatan festival) our PM announce the very shocking news to all Malaysian, not only for those have cars, but also to all citizen of Malaysia, young or old, male of female, rich or poor, all race, etc - dramastic increase of fuel price, almost 40% increase. After hearing the shocking news on June 4, I rush to the nearest Shell to fill my car. That time I was in KK for my short holiday. By the time I reach the nearest Shell (just opposite my inn where I stay), ooooosh, the line start to get longer. And it make me que for almost 1 hrs. What the f******* high increase on the fuel and all the stuffs. Last time my car fuel tank about RM70. But now full tank about RM90!!!! Wish the car can fill by water.

As we all are aware of it, bila minyak naik, semua barang pun naik. Apa yang tak kena mengena dengan minyak pun naik. The next day, in the newspaper, people start to talk around especially kopitiam chat, abt gula pun naik, beras oso naik, teksi and express pun start naik, mee pun naik, (now aday go kopitiam order mee, even the price tak naik, tapi quantity buakan main kurang! baru 2-3 mulut saja, kosong dah pinggan. But those will get into difficuties is the rakyat, especially low income. If last time middle income group not that much effects, but now after the all the 'barang naik' I guest the middle income group will start join the low income group now. The the low income group will join the "papa karana" group.

I was bit relieves after my new company i just join last month, start to announce to provide every Malaysian employee with Cost Of Living Allowance (COLA). At least it can help to assits each of the staffs. I also happy. Macam naik gaji. Wish to say big thank you to my company.



Below some picture from other web regarding the protest of fuel hike at Seberkas Commercial, Miri.

B.N. mean Barang Naik! Baru saja election, terus naik minyak. Inilah tanda terima kasih!!!!!!

Wisma Pelita Tunku, Miri Incident on June 17, 2008

Last Tuesday, June 17, 2008, I was shock to read the news about you guy who commit suicide at the Wisma Pelita Tuanku, one of the oldest and first high rise building in Miri. The was guy and from what I found out from the Miri Commuunity forum, it was a Chinese guy. The age is unknown at the time. But he working in one of the bank in Miri, and well do in family.

But the questions arise? Alot people though why this young guy want to commit suicide by very painful way, by jumping from the top floor? surely all his brain got jumps out from his head. There may be several reasons behind. Maybe because of her love life? or maybe because of stress in work and life? or maybe because of financial? What ever the reason surely there a way to solve it by better way. That why, our love one, like wife, husband, girlfriend/boyfriend, play an important role in our life especially to helps each others and to give support. In this world we live, we cannot survive by alone. This incident can happen to anyone.

May His Soul Rest In Peace.

Below are some picture I managed to compile from others forum form this incidents.











This is the newspaper article about the incident in Miri. However it in Bahasa language.

Well, moset of my day, spend on window shopping, go sight seeing like Penampang and Bundusan area. By Yen Ling stay at USM hostel. She have to check-in there as one of the requirement by their SGM group. I also worry about her staying there. (I will blog other times why I worry about Yen Ling) But managed to visit her every day at USM.

I was staying in KK for about 5 days i.e. June 3 - 8. But the Sabah Cultural Charity Show is on 6 & 7 June 08. So it took me time to go to KK City and visit around the city. It was my first time travel to the city by own car - blue proton iswara - hahaha. Well visit some of the shopping complexes like Merderka Plaza, Karamunsing Plaza, Sabah Muzium, Central Point, City Mall, and the lastest is 1Borneo, the biggest shopping complex in Sabah. But the way, once reach KK, received a bad news, mostly will effected everyone, increase of petrol for 40%! So, on the June 4, evening I go straight to the nearest Shell to fill my petrol.

It was June 6, Sabah Charity Cultural Show 2008, morning when to USM to bring Yen Ling & her friend to USM Chancellor Hall for preparation. Since it was going to be an opening night, so need to prepared early. But afternoon I when to see movie at 1Borneo, the first day and openning of the GSC cinema. Well the place was big and can accommodate about 1000 plus people. I watch the Kung Fu panda alone. But I still prefer to watch with Yen Ling. at least I can hold her hand. That evening, I went to the Sabah Charity Cultral Show at USM. The show was great and I guest all the performers and those involved must be credited for all the effort done on that nite. Tumb up for them. But pity my Yen Ling during the show. Look at her so tired that night. But that nite she was so beautiful, with her make-up and hair style done to her. Pity din take picture of her that nite. But she was busy with her duties. I guest the next time she will look very pretty with her make-up is on our wedding day. This time must take photo one.

This is the picture I took at the end of show. I was sitting at the middle of the hall.

But on the following day, lucky Yen Ling din´t participate for the cultural show, coz she was not feeling well that day. Lucky she din´t sleep at the hostel, otherwise I will be worry about her. So managed to get her sleep in the hotel for the nite. Cos the next morning, need to travel early to Menumbok to reach the ferry before 10.30am.

I plan for the next trip to KK again with My Yen Ling. But have to wait until she pass her driving license this month. So at least 2 drivers is better.

p.s. above some of the picture to share with.
