Malaysia - Speaker...

I have not come across any English-spoken speakers in Malaysia...
I must say that there are rooms for improvement...

However, I would like to say that we have got very good Engineers back home here in Malaysia...
And, I must introduce Ir. Dr. Gue (speaker talking about the slopes stability)from our very own Malaysian based geotechnical company called G&P Professionals Sdn. Bhd. (http://www.gnpgroup.com.my/)

A very confidence, motivated speaker which re-enhance and re-boosted the interest of Geotechnical stuff which I learned during my uni time in Uni of Bristol....

A question impressed me, "Why can't?"..... interesting....

MAS motto - MH Malaysian Hospitality

Ever wonder why our ancestor left China for Malaysia and did not return after that??

This is simply because Malaysia is such a nice country......

Believe or not... The moment you stepped into MAS...

phew.. the "juz-feel-good" ambience & the warm hospitality is something you cannot be missed....

I had a good time on board to be pampered (by the good food & nice seat!!) after being in China for the past few months....

On board, there are promotional videos showcasing our very own Malaysian travel spot such as white sandy beaches, wild forests, traditional folk dances, etc....

Upon reaching KLIA, I can even see this lovely displaying some wildlife nature stuff... pretty interesting!!

Human....

See in the picture is Bjarke Ingels from Copenhagen's idea about the architecture building for Shanghai Expo 2010 with the idea taken from a simplest Chinese word - 人"REN" (Human).

So, during my lunch session today I happened to hear a colleague sharing the thought about the unfair treatment by some other higher level colleagues in the company.

Oh well, it sounded to me more like an office politics to me, and this is also sometimes known as people issues.

People issues is something must never be underestimated.....

At most of the times, problems/ issues in itself is not a big deal, people "is the one who is responsible" in making a big fuss over something (you know the reasons....) and somehow, they can successfully turn the initial minor issues can be turned into a BIG issues too.... OMG, I wonder why and for god's sake, the problem should be solved instead!!

Therefore, the fact that the simplest Chinese word REN turns out to be the most complex issue & difficult things to be understood at times.....

And I guess that's reality!

China Hefei - My Breakfast.....:)

To some of you who wonders as a "busy" yet organised people like I am, how do I "handle" my breakfast every morning..... hehe.. I am afraid I don't prepare my own breakfast....
I always eat something called 鸡蛋饼... but as for us Malaysians, this looks more like Popiah.... but a popiah which contains You Tiao & sausage.......

The following is how it looks like and how it is being made.....

Step 1:
Heat up the oil and sprinkled some chopped spring onions...

Step 2: Break the egg (sometimes I asked for size up... double!!)

Step 3: Cover the fried egg with Popiah skin....(something like the crepes!)
Step 4:
Add some chilly, her very own secret recipe to taste (taste bit salty, spicy & sweet)Step 5:
Spread everything on top of the Popiah skins evenly.
Step 6:
Add in the yau char kuai, (aka You Tiao in Mandarin). Normally I will also ask for special (which is an addition of sausage)

Step7:
Having readied everything in the center, the next step is to wrap it up and readied to be packed into plastic bag for me to take away...

I like it simply because it's quick, average healthy and delicious!!

By the way, I asked this lady to give me an opportunity to wrap it myself and apparently she agreed, so probably in one of this weekends... I will post some pix showing me in action!!

The cost is RMB 2 (normal) and RMB 2.50 (special) sometimes I asked for 2 eggs instead.. so, is a total of RMB 3.. hehe..

N.B. too bad this lady is running the business without license.. always kena saman by their local Majlis Bandaraya.... claiming her food is not approved, blablabla....... (you know their reasons...)
I thank god that she is still around for helping me to start my day!!

Yes, we can!!

Firstly, is to believe
Then, is to pray hard
After that, is to embrace

Banana in pyjamas is walking down the street!!

I am afraid is Banana Man without wearing "pyjamas"... haha..

Anyway, I was forwarded an email showing the following photograph stated "18 SX Flasher"

A little obscene yet "super" funny!!

If you observe the facial expression of the Ms. Strawberry & Ms. Pear being "scared" by the Mr. Banana...

Life is too short to get worry,
Have a good laugh, people!!

China Hefei - "Smelly" Beancurd...

To those of you who does not know how "smelly" beancurd , a.k.a "Chou Tou Foo" look like, you can see them below....... They are beautiful, aren't they?

If you can remember describing the smell of ammonia -- "pungent" released from one of the Chemistry Laboratory session when we were carrying out in college, you will never miss this!!

In fact, I used to pass by quite a number of stores selling them along the street, but I was afraid to try because of the unhygenic atmosphere, hence I never get to try them....until few days ago........... the canteen workers cooked them for everybody........

Yes, everybody in the firm came to the canteen will never miss to "pick" them....

And to my surprise, most of the people loved it and gave me the "wow" reply. According to some of them, this home-made is very clean and is authentic....

They were presented in 2 "versions"- 1. appetizer - cold 2. deep fried.

I can take only 1 of the appetizer type but 4 to 5 pieces of the deep fried versions...
They taste good!!

Having tried this, I can sort of understand why most of the time people don't mind the smell in most of the toilets they visited.........haha..:) (am i starting to accept them too???)........

Everyone misses me and I miss everyone....

Missing each other is a stress, and this will eventually turn it into a problem.

And we do not want problem, because we want to solve problem.

So, how do we solve this problem?

There are many ways, one of them is by doing something valuable for each other.

When we achieve something valuable for yourself or the person who you miss, we will know it, we can even feel it for each other even though we don't see it.

So, get rid of this problem. We must stay focus with our life. We must cherish every moment, as the saying goes, Love thyself and thy shall be loved

Cherish everyday, folks!! Be thankful that we live another day......

China Hefei - Pigeons in the cage...

As I was on the way to main road side where the company bus will pick me up, I happened to see few pigeons being caged up for sales!!As I remembered seeing the chicken being caged up for sales in pasar is more of a common scene, this is really something interesting to be seen.... Have anyone of you seen this before??

Poor pigeons, I wonder were they being fed up with the same kind of food that fed chickens...
