Spent the whole Sunday walking around the small like town of Bintulu.
It seems like the town is busiest in the morning but dies down as the sun goes down.
Since there is no work on Sunday, I guess is a perfect day for the family to gather and go out for shopping and having meals together for family ties.
Was an eye opener for me when I entered the wet market. It was very organized as the place was seperated into fish section and the vegetable sections. In my mind, I thought that everything will be cluster together regardless of the type of food or races. But there is actually a chinese market and a malay market which practically sells things that are similar with both cater for more of the similar races.
The most interesting thing is that at a park behind the only chinese temple, vendors are selling fighting rooster. Something which have never seen before.
Went to the local shopping centre were pirates ship stormed the whole shopping centre.
Was tempted by the pirates therefore joined them by purchasing their loots. Gosh, I am one of their accomplice.
Back at the hotel wanted to try out the loot just to find that the laptop could not read.
Wanting to go back to the pirate hoping for an exchange of loot but my manager took the loot and slot it into his laptop and it can read perfectly.
Retried again and this time using another method to read the loot it works.
And enjoyed the loot perfectly.
Thus the day ended so quickly and soon by the time I open my eyes will be the start of the new day and back to work.
Till again.


Days in Bintulu

Good Day to all

I know that I have not been updating this blog of mine for a very long time.
All of you must be thinking that I am a very lazy person. But well, tats me.
I know a blog is something similar to that of a personal dairy but for this case is online where ppl can view. OK Ok enough of this blabbering back to proper.

On Monday, I and my manager went to Bintulu, Sarawak to calibrate and setup a new system at Petanak. Petanak is a company that manufacture glue and adhesives. Seems like this industry is still in high demand.

Well, according to the schedule I will be here for 2 week which means that i will be leaving this place on Friday.
Argh another few more days to go.
HOpe that everything will be going very well for these few days.
I think the ppl here really have no life except for those who like to drink. There are so many pubs and pubs and pubs. Some may like to go to cyber cafe or play snooker. I heard from the workers that there are ppl who are being killed. So scary.
Well did took some pics though.

Another Week

Hi there.
Has been a long time since I have updated here.
Can see that I am a very very lazy person.
Well, some updates then.
The week before I went to Tioman with a special someone.
Just wan to spend some time with her together for a few days, although I do meet her every sat.
I know that things will change when the time comes for her to go back to her home country when she finishes her studies and unable to obtain a job here.
Having to remember this made me thinking to have some happy moments with her not in Singapore but somewhere quiet peaceful and to have a view of the sunset.
Then Tioman came up and we went. The place was so quiet, peaceful and sunny. Practically uninterrupted by any vehicles. Is a good place to sit back and relax and enjoy the splashing of the waves. Just one thing, its hot. BUt is worth it.

Came back to reality and last week was a damned sad/moody/gloomy week.
Being said by others that taking silhouette pictures are very easy and nothing new. Having heard this made me wonder, is it taking those pic really that simple and that everyone can do it?
Makes me wonder my direction of photography. They even say that i take nothing else by sunset. Is like wasting my money to go there just to take sunset and nothing else.
Being said by my boss that he doubt i will read things that he send to me. Frankly speaking I dun, cos i am also busy doing my school work. Sometimes i really dun wan to read the stuff that he send to me.
Read who also know how to read, but i just cannot understand. He wont teach just use his mouth to speak and speak. NOT everyone has the same brain power as he has. I for instance is bad in studying. I have a bad memory and no initiative ok.
Dun treat me like i know everything , if you dun wan to tell me wat to do then dun tell me.
I am not a good reader as I will doze off after the first page. Sometimes I rather I am just an assistant not an engineer, but for the future i have to.
Labour met up with girl and went around to walk and also shop around.
BOught a Givenchy perfume for mother as an early mother day gift.
NOthing much done, except for buy eat walk sit. Ha ha ha ha
Sat went to work in the late morning till early afternoon and then met up with girl. Bought a cheap eyore which was her fav plush toy. After which we met up with my poly gangs for gathering. Had dinnder at Shokudo at CIty hall after which we proceed to Coffee CLub at millinium walk for tea.
After which at around 11plus we left the place and headed home. Did not send her back as there might not have the train for me to go back if were to send her. Then parted at city hall mrt and reach home at past midnight. Yup train and bus. But forgotten to pass her back her phone and today went to pass her and have lunch with her before proceeding to national library to do my research on my project.
And thats the week been for me.
Till another Sunday
