When and where i should begin...

After leaving from blogging, i'm now not sure when and where i should begin... 

Time flies... 

Things changes... 

Agings... hmmm... people still think i'm late 20s ;-)

I have been leaving my blog unattended for months... It's time to pick up and continue since it is a good way to share my thought. I have so many nice travel picture to share with the world. Unfortunately i have little time to process and upload into the internet to share.

Today, I'm back to a old place where i have blogged about years back~ 

The place where three of us (bloggers) called the EMO Headquarter where i met and hanged out with lots of new friends. 

The 100th outlet of Starbie in Malaysia which is the EMO headquarter for some of my bloggers friend. 

Yo~ My fellow old bloggers. Let's get back to the blogging era eh~

Let get the everything start... Okay?

What other transportation do we have?

Mid of October, toll has gone up... What our lovely government said the increment is to encourage people to use public transport and ease the traffic jam. 

Now, public transport (train, bus and taxi) are going to increase... what would the government said this time? Let's use bicycle as we have build a nice bicycle track along the Klang River... LoL~ 

So now what would be our next alternate transportation for city of potholes? 

Could it be what you see in the picture...  

Why this could be an alternative transportation soon... cause in the country where you will find this type of transportation is that the other mean of public transport is NOT affordable...

 

Just guess how many people can fit into this small little car?

Expect the unexpected...

World changing faster and faster under this digital era... time will never wait for us to react.

For the past two months, things changes surrounding us and life will not be the same again. Just need to keep going and going like energizer rabbit~ Keep motivating ourselves to overcome the tough time.  We really don't know what will happen tomorrow.

Anyway, be strong and take good care of yourselves.

Stay tune with the India trip post eh~

High chance to ditch my Hong Kong trip

My friends and I have planned the Hong Kong trip for months and I'm looking forward to go to Hong Kong. I never been to Hong Kong other than Hong Kong International Airport which i have been there many times. If everything runs perfectly, this trip would be after my exam for this semester i.e. Oct 21st - Oct 26th 2014.

The "Potong Stem" news came about yesterday evening during my dinner with my friend. I was a bit upset as i have given an heads up to the MBA course coordinator to ask him to ensure we do not have any exam during the Deepavali period. As a result the an unofficial schedule drop on the Oct 22nd 2014. Sad eh~

It's not that i have to celebrate Deepavali like my Indian classmate, guess what? i was the only one who concern the exam schedule... So my Indian Classmate actually kept quiet when i raised my concern, one of them even challenge me as if I'm celebrating Deepavali... I told her, i'm not but i would like to plan a getaway from the city of potholes to the Pearl of the Oriental. (City of Potholes vs Pearl of the Oriental - which is your choice?)

Now, my plan has to put on hold until the final schedule is out... The air ticket to Hong Kong is going to be more and more expensive as the departure date is getting closer... and i might have to make a call on TO GO or NOT TO GO... What would be the decision?

...

Are you ready to change?

I saw this comic in FB which i think it actually reflected some of you whom dream to be slim but no action taken to make the dream comes true... why? Cause there are so many Monday ahead... LoL ~

MyFitnessPal

Clam Chowder - 500 calories 
FRIDAYS signature drink Mudslide - 270 calories
Roasted Pork and Char Siew rice - 1050 calories 

Wow~ all those nice food have such a high calories count. I wondered how those people whom has nice 6 packs eats. Are they eating like a tweety birdie?

Let me introduce you to MyFitnessPal, my very best pal that tell me whether I exceeded my daily calories limit. How it tracks?

1. Key into the system your targeted weights in kg/lb in how many weeks (e.g. target 74kg in 5 weeks)
2. Report out your age, heights and weights in the system
3. A limit of allowable calories will be shown in the daily input screen, like mine is 1270 calories per day
4. Every time when you reported what you have eaten, you could either search from the existing database or create your own
5. Exercise have to report out as the output of calories. It is use to contra with the calories inputted
6. At the end of each day, the daily report will show either +ve or -ve calories.

This application has given my friends and I the awareness of how much calories that we have taken. We have a sync up session every day to monitor each other calories input... I have been +ve all the time but once a while -ve. So i should be able to achieve my goal 74.8kg if i continue to have +ve calories for 5 weeks.

So, you can start tracking your calories input... :)

Haze in Kuala Lumpur (June 24th 2013)

After Malaysian famous blackout magic to make something appear from nowhere... Now, there is another magic to make the world famous icon Petronas Twin Tower disappeared...

Now you see it, now you don't...

Sunday Morning (June 23rd 2013)

Monday Morning (June 24th 2013)

Our lovely government has declared no school day on Monday i.e. today. Why can't they just do something to stop the situation? Are they not capable?

Dear PM, this is what you can do?

1. Declare all school close for a day
2. Declare State of emergency for those place API higher than 500
3. Do cloud seeding and hope for rain.

If this is what you can do, i think everyone in Malaysia would have the capability to become PM... maybe they could do better than this... Our lovely PM, can you represent the nation to solve the root cause not just provide us this lousy temporary solution? Super disappointed!!! Maybe this is the different between self appointed leader and highly elected leader from the nation.

Looking at Singapore our neighbor, their DOE minister went over to Jakarta to discuss on resolution... their PM talked in the national TV and discuss the plan to get this haze resolve... but our lovely country DOE and PM. No Sight!!!... just report out the API and advice the nation. Drink more water eh~, wear masks eh~, collect masks from hospital eh~, don't eat heaty food eh~  and don't exercise outdoor eh~ etc... 

How long do you think this solution can last? Please do something on the root cause not just temporary solutions... START the parliament session and discuss how to get the HAZE issue resolved LAH~

TZ @ ambiguous period...

Reorganization, Restructuring, Re-mapping resources... are very common terminology in Multinational Companies. The more the workforce turns into global, the more political issues arose.  Due to the saving storm, most of the companies will keep restructuring and reorganizing until they reach the target or stay within the cost.

Guess what? I'm going to report to a different manager again after the restructuring of my team. Hurray~ This will be my 4th boss within 2.5 years with the company. Is it good or bad to me? Hmm... I think good is we get to have fresh start whenever there is a change but... Bad is obviously we need to re-adjust ourselves to new expectation from different boss. Style change again eh~. Sigh!

Anyway, whenever there is a restructuring/reorganizing... there will be an ambiguous period within the team. Lots of rumors are wondering around too. This colleague is going to resign, that colleague is looking for a better position outside the team (i.e. internal transfer). blah blah blah... So how true is that?

TZ is in the ambiguous period as he forced to leave the good manager whom he is reporting and could easily work well with . Now he has to start all over again to work out the expectation with the new boss... Good or bad?

when to say; where to start; what to expect; how to action; why?

LoL... this no longer on figuring where to visit shown in the picture above. It is the period on getting the 4W and 1H answered and plan out the right career path... :p

Political Tsunami

Most of you must be thinking i will write about Malaysia General Election related post eh~ You are wrong! I'm not going to write about our lovely government or those useless and useful Members of Parliament etc etc... So please do not arrest me eh~

Politician is not a job which only exists in a country... it's a globalized job and exists in everywhere... it exists in a big family, a small company, a big corporation, a country and maybe in the future it exists in space too like Star Treks... Muahahaha!!

Anyway, I'm about to tell you some story which happen in the big corporation. CHANGE is a constant  in a big corporation especially the multinational company. Almost everyone in the big corporation has to learn how to be politician. True or Not? Those who work in big corporation, are you a politician?

Recently one of my colleague got switched within 24 hours from Project Manager to Business Analyst, according to her project team members, she is doing very well on managing the project, in fact she has managed the project for couples of months since the project kicked started. The management just decided to place a new / inexperience PM to the project just because the new PM requests... (Good luck to the team)... Anyway, i weren't wanna to get myself involve into this kind of matter. So i will not write more about this... It's kind of scary as i don't know when would be my turn as i am new to this group. 

Again, I have to stress CHANGE is constant in the big corporation... So no matter how, we need to get ourselves prepare to undertake the Tsunami which might or will sweep away our career... Are you prepare to undertake / avoid the political Tsunami?

Is METROBUS in Kuala Lumpur (KL) safe?

How safe is KL public transportation? I mean buses, taxis... Anyone?

I was nearly hit by the bus at the junction of Taman Rainbow and Jalan Ipoh...

How it happen?
I stopped and waited for the traffic light to turn green so that i could turn into Jalan Ipoh. It was June 17th 2012 around 3:10pm (Sunday afternoon), there was this reckless bus driver whom driving the METROBUS BJE6767. He DID NOT STOP even the traffic lights has turned red at his side more than one minutes. He accelerated and passed through the junction super fast . Luckily, i was a bit slow this evening to go out to the main road, otherwise i would be hit by the bus and high chances might not be able to write this post as the bus will hit my car side way on where i sat. My mom and i were shocked... It was a near missed.

Dear Minister of Transportation, before you encourage people go to work by bus, go out to the city by bus, please please and please make sure the drivers of the bus are not those reckless and ignorant on people safety...

I really disappointed on what happen to the situation in Malaysia... There are so many accident cases involved buses but i didn't see the Ministry of Transportation taking any serious action. I think we really need a drastic change to make this country a better place to live... what do you think?

bubble butt

There was one night as i was whatapps-ing with one of my lady friend. We were discussing on gym thingy. She has signed up 50 sessions with one of the PT in her gym. At that time, i was just planning to sign up my first 30 sessions. I was asking her opinion which part should i plan to improve with my  PT the moment i signed up the sessions. So, i told her my improvement plan

1. Get rid of the fat surrounding the waist
2. Tone up the whole body
3. Get a six packs abs
4. Get a nice cut arms
5. Get a firm and bubble butt

Guess what? my friend told me i don't need to work on item #5... she said my butt is nice already... luckily it's not a face to face conversation, otherwise i will definitely *blush blush* 

Anyway, i didn't know my butt attracts attention too... 

30 PT Session completed

Yesterday marked the completion of my 30 Personal Training (PT) session. Do i got the body as what i wanted? 

Picture adapted from http://www.dramainkorea.com

Unfortunately i still don't have the body like RAIN, the korean celebrity... whom almost everyone admire his nice and defined body... imagine TZ has this body... wow~ *Slap slap TZ*

I'm asking myself on how long more should i have to go on diet, extensive exercise with PT... In the first place, can i get there or not?... 

One of my friend teased me that i will NOT be able to get this body. He asked me to forget on working hard to achieve it... why? According to him, due to my age, it's not easy or impossible to get what RAIN has... Sad right?  

Anyway, i wanted to proof my friend wrong and started to work hard to reach my goal i.e. gain 6 pack @ the abs. I have renew another 30 PT session until end of this year. 

Do you think i could do it?

You're not a robot...

I bet all of you commenters should have familiar with this word "Please prove you're not a robot" then follow with a bunch of black color joined characters with a blur image with numbers to ask the commenters to verify.

Since the day before yesterday, my commenters have started complaining about the verification which they definitely are NOT robot... Moreover, sometime the word was not so obvious, so they need to try more than once to get the comment published.

Anyway, i have taken away the verification and hopefully the robot will NOT attack my lovely blog eh~. So, please come back to comment on my blog eh~

Change is on the way...

When a project goes into a sustaining mode... there's when the time a project manager has to move on. Guess what? My project finally moved into sustaining mode. So i have to move on. Today is my last day of handling my current project... I have transitioned myself out from the project... 

For the past few weeks i was busy searching for a new group with the new project. Finally i gotten a new project which is more interesting than what i had before... The new project is mainly dealing with process improvement and interact with the business up to 90% of my project time. The main objective of the project is to handle the process re-engineering and recommend the automation solution to the customers. Understand the business, help business to improve their process with automation... This is the kind of job that I prefer rather than talking to another group of people whom are project/program managers to provide the services.

Anyway, i'm excited to kick start my new project in June. Hopefully the new project can bring me to Europe and US on business trip eh~ :p

Changing Boss

Today an announcement that shocked TZ... TZ is going to have a new boss starting from Oct 1st 2011. A new boss for TZ means change of expectation. TZ's old boss whom hiring me into the current company will be transferred out of the team... TZ needs to setup the expectation with the new boss and go through the team lifecycle... Sad~

Anyway, TZ is looking forward to work with his new boss. Let's see what is the new expectation eh~

Will it be the same as the old boss? I doubt so...
