restaurants here

Restaurants here

There are few restaurants can be found around the university area. The nearby restaurants provided me a lot of choices for my lunch or dinner; however, the price is also reasonable. Even here is small, but different types of foods can found here such as Chinese foods, Japanese foods, Malay Foods, Thai foods, India foods, fast foods and so on. Recently, Pasar Ramadan also selling quiets a number of Malay foods, the traditional Kuih Melayu was popular there and Nasi Kelabu is my favorite.

Actually, I preferred go to Chinese restaurant which is nearest to my college, took about 3 minutes I can get there from my room. The Chinese foods selling there some are originated from ‘Hakka’ one of the provinces of China. The foods are very suitable for me, although I’m not a Hakkanish. There is not any menu can found in that restaurant, all of the menu is in the head, if you really want to eat something, just tell the chef, he will cook for you.

Tepan Yaki is my second favorite restaurant, the owner is a Japanese, as the information from his workers, I noticed that, he is also a programmer, and lived in Malaysia over 15 years, but he seem like hard to communicate in Bahasa Melayu and English. The food selling there are Japanese foods, Thai foods, and Malay foods. The chef is come from Thailand, and can cook tasty Thailand foods. I preferred the tomyam soup there; however, one of my friends almost addicted to the tomyam and can eat it everyday without bored.

I hope that, more restaurant can be open here, and let me to have more choices for fulfill my stomach.

Hometown

Hometown

Last few days, I reached my hometown from a very far estate that is Kelantan, it took about 11hours to reach Batu Pahat which is my hometown.; actually I lost many things here after I went t study at university…

After I went to study, time spend accompany with my family become less, even I went back here I also spent more time in front computer due to heavy assignments I need to finish. Besides that, I missed up lots of special events such as birthday celebrations, wedding ceremonies, and parties. Actually, I like to attend this kind of events which can pull the relationship closer with the other people. Moreover, my hometown is an only place for me to sleep well in the night, I appreciated the time that I spent at my hometown, because I realized that, not much time I can stay durin this very relaxing moment.

After few days, I will go back to Kelantan, the holiday will be very short, and hopefully, this moment can be meaningful even short…

Lost temper

Lost Temper

Currently, there are lots of things that make the fire burning on my head. Suddenly, I tend to lost temper easily. This is one of my weak point that I could not get over, and I totally hate about this characteristic. Beside that, it is hard to control myself when I lost temper, surely, I failed to recover from that moment also, basically, I had to take half of the day to turn back to my normal state. I afraid that one of the days I make some wild behaviors in front people when I lost temper. But, I would not harm people, because I’m not HULK even I really turn into green!!! This characteristic maybe heritage from my dad, which is also a great ‘burner’and he will burn everyone anytime and anywhere when he turned green. So, I can say that, I worst, but not that worst than my farther.

The factors lead me to lost temper could be from many sources, included my study, my friends, my family, my gf and so on. All of these factors created a certain degree of pressure for me, while I can not hold it, it lead to explosion!!! Actually, I need a person who can care me, and willingly to help me in release my pressure, and control me while I lost temper…but till now, there is not such kind of person appeared in my life, it is very bad, the closest person beside me also didn’t shows lots cares to me. Maybe she has forgotten how to make a cares…

Now, I learned how to become more optimistic which contrast with my weak point. It help me to change my point of view when I met problems, and let me had a deepen thinking before I did something.

project life

Project life

Last week, my current English teacher, Mr. Williams,ask us to list down our project life. At initial. I does not fully understand what i '' project life'' after explained by Mr.Williams, i realized that project life is plans of life which included the plan had achieved in the past, plans that doing now, and plans that will be do later. Actually, this is a good brain storming for me, and help me to has clearer direction for my project life.

Is easy for me to list down the plan that i had achieved in past and plans that i doing now, but i met difficult in list down the plans that i will do later. Actually i don't think that far, and without a doubt, I'm direct less people, and i never consider a plans that will be realize one day. I always trust myself that, the life is controlled by ownself, to have bright future, definitely a proper plans leading to success should be done from right angles. If i conclude my future plan now, it is too early for me, and maybe it would not come to reality.

There are people said, who had their own aims, he would success one day. I partially believed on that, actually to get success later. The present planing must be do well in first. There is no short cut for us to get success without a proper planing or affords, therefore even you have a good future aims, if absent proper planing and affords the aim will become nothing also.

Planing is a track to reach the aims, moreover, kinds of aims should be meet with right planing which is dependable to the aims is make.

Busy semester

Busy semester

Without a doubt, this semester is busier than the previous semester. I noticed that, time already near to the final exam, and after the exam, there is a long semester break… Time is gone too fast, and third semester will be end soon.

During this semester I spent lots of time in doing assignments, the assignments given by the lecturers just like a mountain, I hard to say it is easy for me, in other word, its quite heavy to me. Deadline is near, if failed to pass up the assignments before that, the reduction marks will treated on me. I felt that, it is unfair, because assignments need time to finish, if lots of assignments come in once, time spend in finishing assignments should be equally separate to each, therefore take a longer time to finish an assignment. This is what I suffered now, why deadline always short? And Can it extended, but without reduction marks?

Now is near to the Raya break, however, I’m not going to rest during that break due to the heavy study. Moreover, I would spend more time to finish my projects. I think most of my classmates will be same as me…

Business

Business

Currently, I started a small business with my roommates who are Kenny, and Hong. At initial, we came out with some unrealized ideas such as laundry services, sell foods, delivery services and so on. Those ideas were limited by some obstacles, we failed to solve that. Therefore, make us continued to think other alternatives to earn money. Finally, we found a new appropriated idea that is focus on the laptop accessories selling. The market is still fresh and fewer competitors, therefore, we decided to carry out the business by selling the ‘laptop skin’ and ‘keypad skin’ just as our first products.

Actually, there is a bad starting for our business, the high cost of the products make us afraid to step forward, if we fail to hit the sales target, it would bring a great lost to us. However, we succeed to solve the problem by find out supplier who can give us a cheaper price in buying the products. In the other hand, the complained from the students who agued the price is expensive forced us to lower the prices as well. Actually, we had undergone a survey on the pricing on out side area competitors, we found that, our products pricing definitely more reasonable from them and product quality is different also. Whatever, we still discount for them just giving a ‘student price for them’. Besides that, we learn on how to satisfy our customers, even though we were laughed or scold by the customer, but we still thinking ‘customers always right’ in our heads. Actually, is quite ashamed when customers pretend to us. We try to identify the demands from the customers by enlarge our products’ kind and that is a means for us to satisfy them.

We are not like big business man but, we learned the same characteristics as them. We maybe could not earn any profit in the business but, actually it is golden opportunity for us to learn a shallow experience in managing a business. Till now, we still continued our business and learn from mistake along. We sharing the ideas, agued each other and this become a pulling force for us to ensure our business can carry on…
