August Update

Back to Sibu in August, leaving home to hometown. There are few significant things that happened this month.

1) Venice de Sibu (Flood)
2) I notice a new Haven

First thing first, first time Sibu got flood in August. It has been raining a few days straight in Sibu (Monday- Wednesday if not mistaken). Not knowing the upper part of Rejang River is raining too. So as usual, Saturday i went to the port to take Express Boat to a place called Kapit. A small town 3 hours boat ride from Sibu. When i reach the dock i noticed the water level of the river higher because the platform to boat is flat. Normally the platform is lower than the terminal which means water lever is low. So i get on to boat and off we go. After 2 hours we pass by Song. A smaller town before Kapit. The part of the terminal was underwater. The water rose so high that we do not have to walk the staircase to the terminal.

The new haven is a place in Kapit. I realise people there are happy. Day to day routine activities. Businessman do business. After evening close shop and relax. For those who is satisfy with these type of lifestyle..its a haven for them. But not for me..hehe....since coming back to Sibu, i felt that i'm getting more and more used to the lifestyle here. Daytime work, night time rest. Still have extra time to exercise. Sure the lifestyle is not as attractive/interesting as in KL. But everything that we made decision, there is an opportunity cost. Just it depends on what we value and what we willing to give up in order to achieve what we want. Bear in mind, i mean in proper ways ya in giving up somethings to achieve somethings. Many business man here taught me, "There Is No Free Lunch in This World. You have to work for it."

Picture beside is the Roti Telur found in Kapit. They say it taste like a type of japanese pancake....crispy and nice..diffferent type of roti telur...i think we won't find it anywhere else.

Short post as busy this month. Actually this post is way due past the month of August. Will keep it up next time. :)

Busy July

On July 3rd....Touch down at KL airport....straight back to my house to meet mother. The next day i ate the mee suan promised by my mom.Nice !!!! What a good start for July.

Basically July is a learning month for me. First stop is Producer Forum. This is the second time we attended this forum. Each talk and seminar gives different feelings and i cant take too many things in one time. So usually i get what i feel most in the event and remember it into my heart. So the thing that i learned most is from Mr Melvin Tong. The person with one leg that hike up to Mount KK this year. I admire his spirit and courage and determination. After his talk, we manage to take some photos together. And he said this to us in cantonese:"没有人比我们自己跟了解自己" . In English means "Nobody understands ourselves more than ourselves". Then he continue to say: Sometimes many people will object what we want to do, we have to thank them because they care for us as they do not want us to get hurt. Do you know yourselves? For me i know me and maybe i know you too..haha.... Just the thing that i do not know are the boundaries or limitations of what can i do and ill keep on challenging my limitations...Yeah!!..I do not know what will i have in the end, but i just know to put the best effort whenever i can.

Next stop - Maluri Family Day. Look forward for this family day as we get to know more about our colleague. Besides having fun, this time i get to become one of the conductor for a session. Learn a lot from this experience. Thanks to all of Malurian. Its been a long time since i played in a theme park.

3rd one is the opportunity to meet Mr Hui at Seremban. Manage to have a dinner with him. Later that we went to his house to have some coffee. The whole night we talk about a lot of things. The thing that i learned that night was "理清"(Make Clear) and "价值观"(Point of View). Before we do something, make sure we make clear of what is what and why is why. So that we know why we do this or that. Each individual have different point of view. It may be cause by some incidents or the environment that shape our point of view. And because of different point of view, our actions are different. In the end that is what differentiate us. So if we think it is worth it, just go ahead.

This time missed the trip with ODA. Feels like something is wrong with the body haha.....but still manage to catch up with Laosi and ODA. Looking forward to Taman Negara and Noring. Last but not least manage to catch up some time with Steph- Few movies night and dinner. Although its been a rush month for me-From KL-Seremban, then to Batu Pahat, then to JB and Singapore, i learned and improved myself.
