My new nickname

My alter ego...

Wishes Came True

After graduation, my first job, was as a technical support engineer, looking after all the electronics on the buses and later on, taxis. This was in a public transport company.

After a while, I started looking for jobs and actually wished that I could have more chances to travel overseas in my future job.

I had been looking for a new job for more than 12 months when my prayers has finally been answered. I now work for a wireless IT network products vendor and I go overseas almost 3-4 day per week...

To Johor Bahru... just less than 30mins away from my office.

Wishes can come true..
Spend good time detailing these wishes..
Just so that you can get it right and not repeat the mistakes others had done.

Jakarta or Jarkarta

The old name for the Indonesian capital is "Batavia"
The name was given to it by its colonial Dutch owners.

Much of the Dutch heritage and language can still be seen there..
The buildings, railway stations, etc etc..

Though it is not much of a place to visit..
But the seafood is delicious there!

Thanks to my pal, Rusli Wardjojo Maryono, whom brought me and my colleague around during our stay in Jakarta. Thanks for the fantastic dinners!!!

A third world country didn't raise its taxes for the past 10-20 years.
A developed nation raises it taxes every year.

Every 8th Day of the 1st lunar month..

Just wanna let all know that we, Hokkiens prevail...

After so many hundred of years since the Hokkiens were almost decimated in China due to hounding pirates, we still follow the tradition of using sugar canes to pray to the Heaven God..

For it was this day so many years ago which our ancestors fled to a sugar cane plantation that caused the pirates to lose their chase...


We prevailed!

Sorry seems to be the HARDEST word..

It takes tons of effort to say sorry..

And it only needs a little bit of sincerity to make the words real.

No one can coerce anyone to say the word.

One can also choose not to say it to completely ignore the feelings of another.

Bottomline is that, one can choose to be blind to others...
The reverse also holds true.

I am but a mirror... reflecting the good of mankind and at the same time reflecting the negative human nature.
