Working Life

As a field engineer working at the side is a good way to gain hands-on experience especially when there are various operations going on. Sometimes, when things go wrong, that would be the best time to learn the most despite all the yelling and scolding. Nonetheless, no one ever says learning is a pleasant process right?

However, when there’s nothing going on and you are done with all the paper work, boredom will set in very quickly without you realizing how to react to it. At this time, most of the guys will bring out their movies to watch, some take out their books and there are also some of them starting up their computer games to play. But recently, I met one of the colleagues that uses the time to check on his own investments through online Forex or virtual stock exchange machine. He did not have very aggressive investments but mostly quite passive investments, which is a good thing as working in this field simply means you don’t have fixed time for yourself. So the way he does it is very beneficial as he does not need a lot of time to monitor his investments and I always think it is good for someone to have certain investments besides hardcore savings on daily basis.

Probably I should start to learn from him, and manage most of my investments online!

Holidays to LAS VEGAS?

I know I have just come back from Phuket for holidays, but as I was chatting with friends over the lunch just now, we all want to go for another holiday as soon as possible.

We came out with plenty of choices such as Taiwan, Europe, Korea, Japan, United States or even China. Taiwan and China attracted me the most as I always wanted to visit these two places for the scenery and also the street food.

However one of the friends that were having lunch with us went backpacking around United States before and he started to share with us about his interesting experiences in the states. Even though some of the places were quite costly, but it was worth the experience for him. All of us were so overwhelmed by his experiences particularly the part when he shared about his experiences in Las Vegas. The holidays Vegas were amazing and his sharing changed my perceptions.

I always had the impressions of Las Vegas being a city where gambling and alcohols drinking were the major activities especially at night. However from my friend’s encounters, there were also great food and also interesting places to visit as the city was a very vibrant and dynamic place. Without doubt, the night life was spectacular but it didn’t just revolve around casinos and alcohols, there were plenty of shows and performances being conducted in the city at night as well. Besides, there was a lot of special and good food offered in the city day and night.

After his an hour long of persuasion, we were switching our attention to the States for holidays now! Hope it work out.

  

Australia Trip

As I was having dinner with my colleagues the other day, one of them asked if we have been to Australia before as the rig we were on was an Australian rig. Out of three, only one had been to Australia before, and I am one of the two.

I really wish to go to Australia one day as it is one of the closest overseas country to my country. A lot of my friends have been studying there and I really regret not going there when they were still there. And since now I am having so much days off after the job on the rigs, I should really plan my trip there. Nevertheless, according to my colleague the accommodation there can be quite cheap if we plan our journey earlier.

After searching through the internet, I found this special accommodation arrangement around the Trinity Beach. From the website, it is located just a short drive north of Cairns City. What really attracted me was it is surrounded with relaxed village like atmosphere and it offers stunning views over the Pacific Ocean and rainforest clad mountain views. Besides, they have freshly decorated airconditioned studio rooms. That sounds like a perfect vacation plan for me! I have to go and book my tickets already! Join me if you want!

Russia

Russia has always been the mysterious country to most of the Asian countries. The impression that we always have towards the country is the country is forever covered by snow and it is always very cold. Plus, the language is incomprehensible. We always thought it is impossible to understand the language what more to say about speaking the language.

But then, with the help of technology nowadays, it is possible for someone to learn about any language he or she wants, including Russian language. One of the effective ways is to listen to the Russian language podcast and also to watch some Russian movies or TV shows available.

So, who says it is impossible to learn another language? Besides, who wants to join me for trip to Russia in the future?

Blogging

I suppose blogging has become a very popular hobby nowadays. In my personal opinion, blogging is not only a healthy activity to go by, it has a lot of other benefits to go by such as getting sufficient information, building up personal computer skills, getting to know different people from different part of the world and also to open up our minds!

I started blogging three years ago. At first I just wanted a place to voice out my opinions and record great things that happened in my life. Then slowly my blog evolved into a blog that shares about traveling information, places, cultures, movies reviews, books review and so on! It actually helped me to pick up more interesting hobbies! I started with Windows Live at first, then tried wordpress and now I am with blogger! It was an interesting process and I have learned so much from it.

So, if you are complaining that life is boring and you don't have much things to do, try blogging! All the best.

San Francisco

During my last trip to Houston early this year, one of my travelling colleagues was an American. Because of him, I got to know a bit more about  the states and the attractions that were available in the country. The more he talked about it, the more I felt like exploring around and staying there for a month or two to explore the whole country. One of his recommendation was San Francisco. He even provided details of vacation rentals san francisco to me.

According to him, there are so many places to see in the state and the city life was really overwhelming. He said I should really experience the culture and lifestyle there. It would be a different experience for me.

I guess I should put this in my to do list next year. Time to travel to the state for some new adventures. Hope I can utilize the vacation rentals san francisco details he provided soon!

Seeds

During one of the days that I was attached to Batam’s base for equipment training, I was invited over to the base supervisor’s house for weekend dinner gathering. He was an American and it was kind of my first time attending a dinner gathering like that. Of course, I was excited and looking forward to going to the dinner with my other colleagues.

When I arrived at his house that night, I was taken aback by his ability to decorate his house and most of all, his passion for planting. His knowledge of plants was substantial and he basically knew everything about the green creatures. Besides he had the gift of describing things in an interesting way which had caught everyone’s interest. So the dinner turned into a big discussion about plants.

At first we were asking about the tropical plants, the house plants that we could plant in our homes. We talked about the types of plants available, necessities for the plants to grow effectively, the soil types and so on. It was really interesting and I did not know planting could be such a cool hobby until the night.

After a while, someone jokingly asked about the cannabis seeds and marijuana seeds. Surprisingly, the host knew about the plants as well! He even knew how to plant them and it was no easy task. All the while my impression about cannabis was it was a drug that could cost harm. Little do I know that cannabis seed was used for medicinal purposes as well since long time ago. I suppose, everything when used in extreme context, they are going to be harmful in anyway. It is just like drinking not enough water can be unhealthy, but drinking too much of water at once could be lethal as well.

Inception Movie review

One of the movies that impressed me a lot was "Inception" written, produced and directed by Christopher Nolan, starring Leonardo DiCarprio. It's a science fiction, which happens to be one of my favourite genre of movies.

Picture courtesy of en.wikipedia.org

The movie was about mind games, or to be more specific, mind wars which the characters in the movie discovered the method to create a warfare in human minds while the host of the minds were sleeping. Dominic (Leonardo) and his partner Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) were one of the elite teams in the mind wars business. They were specialized in extracting information (often classified information) from renowned or rather important people's minds.

In one of the cases that they got into, they were forced to perform "Inception" which involving planting a total new and foreign idea in a person's head. That was another level of mind wars business and this time they brought in more people to enhance the team.

The whole story unfolded in a very intriguing manner that the moment I entered cinema until the moment I left the cinema, I was in a very tense and alert mood as the storyline of the movie was all the time on the climax. I really wish to watch it again, and hearing there is Inception on DVD pleases my heart. Let's get them now!

Food for thought
The storyline of the movie prompted me to think about one thing that happens in our daily lives. A lot of times, we tend to choose the "reality" that we want and trick ourselves in believing things that we choose to believe. For example when things are too troublesome or painful, we tend to choose to force ourselves to believe that they aren't there or they never happened.

Running away from the reality is not the way we should deal with things. In fact, even we run away, the problems will still be there and the real reality is not going to go away. Therefore, face them and confront them!

Have a nice day people. :)

Holidays!

Ever since started working, a few of us always want to plan for a vacation while we are at work. A getaway we called it, for us to escape from all the stress and relax ourselves.

Working life can quite stressful and tiring at times, especially dealing with all the never ending tasks and the tough people to deal with. Everyone needs a break, including the fresh entries! As some of us are working in Kuala Lumpur, so whenever we gathered together, we would ask one another “Where’s our destination next?”

Some suggested mountains, some suggested cities, but most of us like the idea of beaches. The question is, where? We thought of local and international spots, and after much discussions and arguments, we opted for overseas location!

Hawaii was in the list, as well as California, but the cost was too expensive for most of us. Then, the good news came when someone discovered hilton head island! The place is relatively cheap and most of all, they have a special agency that takes care of the tourism package, which is awesome for lazy people like us. The best thing is, they have a website for us to go through and that helps a lot in our planning and confirming the trip. It is really awesome. Hopefully our trip will be realized!

Ink Cartridges

When I first entered the university, a lot of seniors told me that it was not necessary to get a personal printer as the university provided the laser printers for the students to use. We only needed to bring our own paper and the printer was ready to print for us.

However, the problem was, there were too many students and too little printers available. So, everytime the printing time would end up requiring more than an hour just to wait for the turn to print few pages of lecture notes. The time was not worth the effort.

So, during the first year of my studies, I bought a personal printer. Even though it was just any normal bubble jet printer, it was sufficient for me. However, another problem arose when I needed to change the cartridges or refill the ink of the cartridges. I remembered I spent hundreds of dollars just for cartridges alone while the printer itself cost less. Therefore, I always tried not to print too much but relied on the softcopies a lot. However, that took a toll on my eyes and my prescription increased tremendously.

Then, the good news came where one day, my friends and I went to the Digital Mall nearby in Kuala Lumpur, we discovered the new innovation by the printer brand called “Brother”. The innovation not only helped the consumer to save ink for every printing, they also made the refilling process easier as the cartridge sort of drained the ink from the container outside the printer. So everytime, the consumer just needed to refill the containers outside the printer without needing to open up the printer and take out the cartridges. Therefore, these brother printer ink cartridges really intrigued me. Most of all, the cartridges can be customized for different brands of printers, which made life so much easier!

That was totally the good news of the year for me. How about you?

iPad Tutorial

Technology is advancing very swift nowadays. The gadgets are changing almost every single day and they are getting better and better every single time! Seriously, I have difficulty in catching up with the pace. I have no idea what a small device in hand is capable anymore.

Recently, with the iPad being released, almost everyone regardless young or old has gone crazy over it. Everyone is amazed and entranced by the functions of an iPad. Besides, I think it looks cool to bring a book-like item in your hand that can do almost everything for you?

However, after everyone getting one iPad for themselves, problems arise. They do not really know how to operate the sophisticated device! For example, people do not know how to transfer movies and music between iPad and your computer. Many people are actually underutilizing the amazing innovation.

Nevertheless, one can search on the internet on the simplified instructions of how to Backup iPad, how to Convert and transfer incompatible media files to iPad/iTunes and so on. So, again, technology helps to make our life easier! If you are unsure of how to use your new and advanced device, search on the internet! That can save you a lot of troubles.

Tuition

As the cyber and the computers technology are getting more and more advanced, a lot of people including the students are relying on the computers instead of using own brains. Thus, a lot of students nowadays have troubles with basic math and hence more complex calculation problems.

Therefore, it’s quite common for youngsters nowadays to seek help on Math problems or even Algebra help. The best thing is, all the Homework help can be obtained online! So there is no need to waste time on travelling to any tuition centre and most of all, the parents can save the transportation fees!

Besides, through the internet, students can get Calculus help and also Physics help. So, all these dreadful subjects are no longer scary anymore if you are willing to reach out for some help. Through the usage of cyberspace, the students can have better control of their time and access the online system according to their own preference. That sounds so wonderful right?

Soma Online

There was once during my university time, I was studying in the room together with my roommate, he was using his headphones and so did I. When I was studying, I realized something that I was not sure of, so instead of taking down my headphone and called him, I use the chatting messenger to send him an instant message. And guess what? He replied my question using the chatting messenger as well.

That is what the technology nowadays has done to us. In everything we do, we tend to rely on the cyber space communication. The communication face to face or personal communication has been reduced tremendously. In fact, if possible, we tried to have zero personal face to face interaction.

There are so many things we can do through the internet, such as paying our bills, communicating with colleagues through emails, having conference calls with others to replace meetings, buying groceries online, ordering food online, and even buying medicine online!

For those who are computer savvy, or online shopping literate, we will know how to go online to shop for the best quality of health products or medicines for the best price. We just cannot help it because normally it is easier to find cheaper deals online as there are so many choices available! There are several online pharmacies available for example http://discountsoma.co or http://somanoprescription.co where you get to buy any medicine you need or want.

Nevertheless, even it is a norm that humans tend to go for cheaper products but it is also wise to go for the cheap yet reliable and credible products instead of being blinded by the unreasonable low price of certain products. Therefore, it is better to question and research the credibility of the online pharmacy we buy our products from. Online store like http://somapill.co will definitely worth a try.

Blades

I do not know about other guys, but for me, when I was younger, I was basically obsessed with knifes or swords. Especially after watching all those action or ancient Chinese fighting movies, I would always want to carry a knife around with me wherever I went. I was not sure why, maybe I wished to experience the hero spirit and also to help those in need. Perhaps, it was the spirit of justice in me that time.

Since then, as I grew up, I am always attracted to different types of knifes, especially Kershaw Knives. I just cannot resist the curves of the blades, and the shinny edges of the steel plates. They are just so fascinating. That is one the reasons why I would spend hours in a hardware shops selling knives. Sometimes window shopping is sufficient for me as well. However, it is not easy to withstand the stares of the bosses especially when I am not buying anything from the store. I still remember there was once the boss purposely tried to clean up the store by sweeping in order to chase me out of the store.

But the good news is, recently I have found The Blade Shop where I can view the blades for free! And most of all, I can even buy them for affordable and reasonable prices! Besides, there is no need of being afraid of the stares from the boss or scared of being chased out from the store as everything is offered online! From now on, I guess I will spend more hours on the internet rather than lingering at the stores physically anymore. I suppose that is more economical and safer? For those knives lovers like me, do visit the website today! It is just a few clicks away anyway.

Online Medicine Stores

As the cyber technology improves tremendously these days, people are utilizing the internet in more areas of their lives. During one of my conversations with my friends in the work place, someone challenged who can name the most useful way of utilizing the internet. Another friend answered: “Buy medicines and health products online!” I think that’s the best answer for me so far.

This also applies to vitamins, herbal supplements, nutrition supplements and so on. This is to prevent any allergies or any reverse effect that might be caused by the combinations of certain products. As we all know, sometimes certain medicines or health products are not meant to be taken together as it might cause overdose or complex biological reactions in the body, which is not so desirable sometimes.

Besides, it is a norm that humans tend to go for cheaper products but it is also wise to go for the cheap yet reliable and credible products instead of being blinded by the unreasonable low price of certain products.

Diamonds!

At my age, most of my friends are finishing their studies and getting ready to face the working world. While most of us are settling down on new jobs and new places, plenty of my friends are getting married as well!

It is great to see your own friends getting married though, realizing the old friends that you used to play with, now are already adults and venturing into new phase in life! But that comes with responsibilities too. I still remembered clearly that one of the guy friends’ complaint to me that his future wife was demanding for a ring made of either Canary Yellow Diamonds or Cognac Diamonds as the wedding rings!

I could only smile and wished him all the best! What a great commitment! and his wife is sure a lucky girl to have a loving husband as him!

Old times

One particular incident that my friends kept talking about was the guys’ gatherings in one of the hostel rooms at random nights during the semester. Most of the time, they were playing the poker games and they actually enjoyed the companions and laughter. One of them even mentioned: “After this when we departed, we could meet on Online gambling site to say in touch!” What do you think?

Gold conversation

Yesterday night, one of the managers in the company invited me and my colleague over to his place for open house dinner. After the dinner, the guys were chilling out at the front yard and we were talking about properties and also some investment.

One of the colleagues mentioned “It is very rare to find anyone that is without debt nowadays.” I find it quite true. Soon we dwelt into financial freedom topic and price of gold came into the conversations. I was not unsure of the gold prices but most of them do, and the manager quoted the gold price immediately when I asked about the price in Malaysia nowadays.

It seemed to me that there were a lot of benefits of investing in gold spot. One of the very strong reasons was gold prices did not fluctuate much over the years and had been increasing consistently. Besides, the information regarding the investment was very precise and easy to access, if one wished to spot gold, he or she can always log on to the bank websites to check out the prices instantly. Moreover, one can do the transaction online for some banks. All the best in achieving financial freedom everyone!
