Team dinner @ 1 Utama

Image
Today was our second team dinner. This was the real team dinner. I mean, this included our whole ( most of them.. please excuse, those opted for another day ) team and team manager. This time, we opted the place at 1 Utama. It was Korean steam boat. Much differ from my past experience with steam boat. This was very fantastic. First time, I was going to One Utama. So, I decided to go early and to see around, then to join with my team. Despite the heavy thunder, I left at 5:45pm for the 8:00pm dinner party. Unfortunately, it was terrible traffic jam from Bukit Damansara till Bandar Utama. Even though I caught the bus at 6:20pm, the bus reached Bandar Utama at 8:30pm and it was heavy shower outside till I reach my destination. So, my plan to see the One Utama washed away in the heavy lashes. The dinner was very good and this time, I really enjoyed. Due to some of my colleagues, rushed to go back at 9:50pm, I had to rush to fit my tripod to take a group photo ( see the pic ). Fe...

Fate of a free park

Image
Quiet a long time was enjoying the free park outside my office. Recently Bandaraya installed parking coupon machines. I think, none of the regular customers are following that. But how, they are going to be find out, people are regularly paying the money? Their rates are reasonable, but that is not practical, when it comes to those working 12hrs or entire day sitting inside office. Later I moved my night parking to our service center area, where they allowed free parking from 7:00pm till 8:15am. After 8:30am, they clamps and you have to pay RM 50 and can it be up to RM10, if you are good negotiator. When hariraya season started, my schedule changed further more, so, I can't park at service center area too and the good place to extend my free enjoyment is our own parking area at basement. That is managing by Secure Parking team. Earlier, we had swipe card and with that, you can enjoy n number of free parking and going out during evening 7:30pm till morning 8:30am. Due to t...

Mafias in Formula 1

Once I was thinking about, may be Formula 1 will be the less corruption sports game. But, yesterday injustice proved that, they are now surroundings with Ferrari mafia. I know, all Ferrari fans will beat me, but frankly says, it is too much. Even though, it is clear in cameras, there was no mistake by Lewis, they are not ready to give the point and accept the appeal. This season, there are very good examples that shows Ferrari mafias. One of them was, earlier ( I can't remember where it was ) Massa, hit Adrian Sutil and he lost his valuable point of the team and his first podium. It was very clear that, it was the mistake of Massa, but he didn't even bother to admit and the stupid stewarts didn't take any action against this. Such kind of several incidents are happened, but Ferrari favour stewards, panels won't bother to accept, unless the mistake was done by team Maclaren. Last season, when the Maclaren saga was going on, I read in a paper that Formula one go...

MIFC, which stands for Malaysia International Fireworks Competition. This year, we decided, not to miss the event as like last year. It was on August 29th, Grand Final, by Australian team. When we look at the name MIFC, feels, it only at Malaysia. But, it is an international version. The event consists of 4 different days of functions from China, Spain, Australia and Malaysia. Due to my duty schedules, I have missed all three session but got chance to see the grand final by Australian team. After this event, all teams will move to Australia for the next firework event of the year. Probably, everybody must have familiarized by that as it comes in all news medias with fireworks above sydney Opera house. Initially, we only three guys was ready to go for the event, as this event starts at night 9:30pm and ends at 10:00pm. Due to high traffic conjussion and transportation risks, many said no for this. But we three decided to go ahead. Then other fellows got interest. We left fr...

Oil Crisis

After the Kuwait war, oil prices are started going up. Till now, there is no change. In this situation, some questions raised on me. 1. Who controls and owns the oil ? 2. Why the oil price is going high? 3. Oil production is mostly in Asian region. Then, why can't Asian countries get a reduced rate ? Global financial strategies are depend on two currencies. 1. US Dollar and 2. Japanese Yen. Yen, doesn't have competitor, this may be because, most of the productions, quality products and the companies, we can't avoid are Japanese. But, US Dollar has number of competitors. The first competition starts, when European Union started to trade in their common currency called, EURO. Now, the second competitor is arising. Still not given any name for that and still under evaluation. This would be played a major role, since the second common currency is arising from Gulf Region (GCC). Since half of the world oil production is from Gulf Region, GCC's co...

Dreams...

Dreams are just fudged up reality. Is it correct? One of my best friend given me this subject. She just passed it as a thought for me, but I was long time wishing to write about it; write about dream. I am not believing, it is a fudged up reality; but it is some messages to us or strong feelings of inner mind comes as picture or some recent experience that lies in our declarative / episodic memory, while sleeping. Let's start with sleep. I heard about sleep, if a person can sleep well without any disturbance by himself (except dream), he / she is one of the luckiest person. As we know sleep has different stages. It mainly divided into two distinct states known as non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM) and rapid eye movement sleep (REM). These two states occur in a roughly 90 minute cycle, which is repeated 5 to 6 times at night and include four stages of NREM and REM. Stage 1 sleep is experienced as falling into sleep and is a transition stage between wake and sle...
