Its been a long time..

Its been a long time since I wrote something on my blog. Which died down for a year.

Now its time to revive it back.

Maybe would be making it a online blog on my progress on my workouts in gym
Should keep a journal for the activity

Just went to Kuantan and Kedah for Business trip

Its been a long time since i posted anything. Wonder how long has it been... my blogs seems to have stains and dust all around. :) but well.. i have been traveling lots so this is the first week in this month that i stayed back in kerteh.

went to KL first, at the CURVE in Damansara (i think). Guessed who i met? An old friend who was walking around. Because of his big head.. he tends to have lost his way here and there. So we took a picture together before I left



I went to Kuantan for a forum after that, but i did go to the Natural Batik centre and painted my own batik cloth. Cost me RM 8 for the stuff... Stayed in Hyatt Kuantan Resort for 3 days

After that it was packing my bags and off again to Kedah. Went to Penang airport and took a cab to Sungai Petani. The hotel i stayed is Park Avenue


Sungai Petani is a very peaceful place. With lots of shops and a few shopping mall.. even a cinema.. much more than what Terengganu can offer

Thats a picture of Gugan, Grace, Sylvia and me eating at a vegetarian shop. Gugan (indian guy) is vegetarian. But the shop owner claims that they have the most Spicy chili Mee in Malaysia. I'm not fond of chili ... so i ate something else. Gugan stood up to the challenge to eat "the most spicy mee in Malaysia"


And there is Gugan eating the spicy chili while Sylvia looks on.....




















stayed in Kedah for another 2 days and pack my bags once again and off to Alor Setar airport (Capital of Kedah)... such a big airport but not much people around. And here I am back in terengganu =)

Magician's Blues

Just love the white jacket I bought. Cost me a bomb... Plus its so freaking hard to take care.. Have to wash often cause it gets dirty easily.

Spent my last few weekends in KL. Its good to be in the city and enjoy whatever Im doing there. Coffee and Eating "real food"... And been church really often.. heck.. 70 % of my time in KL is just going Cell Group in KL and the church there.

Would be doing some magic trick for the kids there. Something like a mild outreach. Hahahahah

Learning is part of life.. Trying to develope myself

Im learning something useful in my life... I have been reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki, "Why we want you to be rich" by Robert and Donald Trump.

Would like to be financial literate... Can manage my savings better. Now im playing the game cashflow developed by Robert Kiyosaki. Learning is a great fun thing to do. If you like to learn about Cashflow game... here is a description I got from the promotional website:

"Cashflow 101 is a didactic game designed by investor, businessman, and self-help author Robert Kiyosaki to serve as a tool for learning basic financial strategies and accounting principals. Cashflow 101 is the first of several games created by Kiyosaki to reinforce the information in his books.

The board has two tracks: A "Rat Race" small circle where you only roll one die to advance, and a "Fast Track" where you roll two dice to advance. In the Rat Race you get paid for passing your Paycheck space, and then draw from one of four decks of cards depending on which space you've landed. Some of the deals are good, others are bad. Your main problem here is a shortage of cash. In the Fast Track your main problem is an excess of cash and finding investments to sink it into before you lose it to lawsuits, divorce or tax audits.

The heart of the game though are the player sheets where players learn how to fill out a financial statement. Players choose from a variety of starting careers (Truck Driver, Mechanic, Lawyer, Airline Pilot, etc.) and fill out their financial sheets appropriately. As they land cards and invest in different deals they dutifully log each change to their financial sheets as well. After a few games most people end up using the same financial sheets to fill out their own personal information.

With each card event the drawing player may buy at that price, but all players may sell at that price. Also, players may make co-investments with the drawing player or even buy the deal from him if they agree. Player deals are encouraged.

The game with few players is heavily biased towards real estate. With 5-6 players the cards are being drawn fast enough that the part time businesses pay off as well."

Just came back from UTP

I just came back from my trip to Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (my old university) to participate being a facilitator. I got sick... really Sick... I had a swollen throat... real bad.. My ears are half deaf and my eyes are filled with tears... Tears kept flowing down my eyes.... It continued for 4 days throughout my trip in Perak. I came back and went to the hospital for checkup. The doctor scolded me... said.. it was very serious as my throat swelled... I lost my voice...

Everytime i cough... its like Im coughing my life out... as though blood would come out from my lungs....

Traning to be a Facilitator to go back Uni

I just arrived back terengganu... Took a flight to Kuantan and a cab back to my house. Its 2 hours drive from Kuantan airport back to my home here. But the experience in the training centre is great. Wonderful experience and a great place... Its quite nice. Im looking forward to going back there for my next training in 2 days time... on Friday Im flying of to KL again.

As I walked in.. I was impressed with the ambience.. A big and comfortable lobby.. really spacious with lots of sofas for you to relax, read newspapers and even to have a chatter with your friends.

Im quite impressed, for a training centre the provide a place to stay.. almost simillar to a hotel.

They even have a big company logo at the reception counter. This place really give the classy look and a sense of feeling proud to be working for the oil and gas company.

I manage to ask someone to take a picture of me standing in front of the company logo. Wow... what a creative way to design the logo.. I do love the design of their floor though.. maybe im easily impressed. But honestly, I had no idea the training centre was this classy. To be honest, I thought it was just a building with some rooms and run down equipment which is not properly maintained... broken airconditions as well, perhaps?

But I was so wrong, it changed my mind completely, was looking forward for the training the 2 days ahead.

Not bad fro the bedroom, with a 2 single beds, a big dressing table, an aircondition, and a big window... abit like a hotel room la... only thing is the tv does not have any astro... so quite boring la... no internet somemore... cannot blog or surf the net here. Least got a window with a good view outside.

Guesed who I met who were selected to be facilitators back to UTP? My seniors and super seniors... and being the only chinese guy (junior somemore) .... they treat me quite well la... since I was always smiling here and there and they treat me like a kid la... eventhought Im like... so much more taller than them.

And lastly, took a photo with the trainers... Pn. Nurhala and Mat Hussein. Really enjoy thier lecture. One of the things of being a facilitator is to encourage the students to open up and help them be more confident about themselves and their public speaking. During the trainig, was taught how to be an emphatetic listener and how to give contructive feedbacks to the students without hurting much of their ego.

The truth that I always know... its when people go though difficulty ... or when they get hurt. The thing the people desire most... is "to know that they have been HEARD"... Listening to people as they share their feelings and problems... and addressing to their feelings.. will help them.. help them to be acknowledge... of their existence and that people know that they are going through tough times... Have been a counceller to many people who had trouble... going through this course only helped me improved my interpersonal skills..

They time spent in the training centre had been a fruitful one... will look forward to go back there again for more of personal improvements.

Remember:

Secret of good communication....
