Trip to Zhang Jia Jie (张家界）

We have finally materialized the holiday to Zhang Jia Jie that we planned 8 months ago.
It was a 7 days 6 nights trip from 4/4 till 11/4, with stops at Macau, and Guang Zhou.
Our ticket was with budget airlines to Macau. We crossed the border to Zu Hai, took a 2.5 hours bus to GuangZhou. We spent the afternoon in GuangZhou, taking night train to Zhang Jia Jie. It was a long travel with 14 hours on train. As we did not get soft bedded seats, it was a truly unforgetable uncomfortable journey especially for two poor guys who took the beds at the top (and i was one of them :))
Despite the bumpy and sleepless journey, we enjoyed the remaining three days in ZJJ jungle park. What was needed then was good strength on both legs and also a good camera.
We spent 4 days in ZJJ, 2 days in Fong Huang old Town (a Miao settlement). View at Fong Huang Old town was just amazing with lots of ancient time buildings and also witnessing the living styles of the residents at riverside.
Our remaining 1.5 days was in GuangZhou - with nothing but shop and shop and eat.
I probably have forgotten to mention that our tour there was with 4 other friends and we were on our own without joining any tour group.
Some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Thumb Drive

Who is the inventor of Thumb Drive? I've got the answer from today's newpaper - it is a Malaysian by the name of KS Pua (潘建成）。
I must admit that i did not know it until this morning, that thumb drive was actually invented by a Malaysian. To be more exact, Pua was the founder of a Taiwanese Company called Phison and it was this company that invented this gadget.
More details here:

I did not come across the information about 潘建成 from the technical or IT column of the paper but it was from the SPM result annoucement that I got to know that 潘建成 was from 育群 in Sekinchan that produced two 16A1 top students this year.

Apparently Sekinchan is a place that is 卧虎藏龙。 The headmaster of New Era (新纪元）潘永忠 is also from Sekinchan.

彩虹

今早在公司厕所的地上见到了彩虹。好意外的发现呀！
记不得最近一次见到彩虹是何年何月，但怎么也没想到下一次的偶遇会是在厕所的地板上。
在此特别附上彩虹近照一张，以娱大家。



忘了彩虹是什么颜色？如图所示：红橙黄绿蓝靛紫　是也。

Approaching 20th Month

I can't believe that I have been in the blogging for almost 20 months now.
It all started when i was in Dublin. Back than life was so plain and bored. That was probably the only "honey moon" period for my entire career life. I hadn't got any assignment at that time, with only 1 objective i.e. to be "trained" on company's processes and procedures. Having said that, i would not perceive that as a waste of time as I indeed learned so much that i couldn't have achieved without been in Dublin.
i built trust with the team over there which made the subsequent communication less difficult. Also, it is always good to know a person by face apart from by his/her name.
Anyway, that was history. Just flashed to my mind when recalling about what led to the birth of this blog.

Morib day trip 30/1

I have done my first posting into youtube for a video clip that was taken using my new JVC camcorder.
Well, that was taken during our family trip to Morib on the 30th Jan - 5th day of CNY.
Talking about the trip, that was our fist time to the coastal of Selangor covering Klang-Banting-Morib-Tg Sepat-Bagan Lalang.
Well, the beach wasn't that great but that was kind of a family outing experience which was great after all.

AirAsia Zero Fare - again

I did not book any tickets during the recent Airasia 0 fare sales. I think we will be limiting this year's vacations more towards day trips or trips within Malaysia.
Despite that, we are still having 2 overseas trips scheduled - Zhang-Jia-Jie, China in Apr, and Bandung Indonesia in July.
The one to China is strictly a back pack trip without Wen Jia while the one to Bandung is a shopping trip which Wen Jia will go along.
I am looking forward for a trip to either Bangkok or Phuket for it is of lower cost and of course for the shopping and nice food.
