Miri - beach

A lot of people still do not realize the beauty of Miri, my hometown.

I do always want to share with my friends out there how relaxing and beautiful this city. I admit it is not as great as I try to describe, I do hope this piece of land, can really become a truly resort city which it was declared in 2005.

Miri is situated at north part of Sarawak, also known as the northern gate of Sarawak. She sits next to a small Nation, Brunei Darussalam.

What is the place famous about? Tourism, but all of the tourist spots are away from the city.

Then what do we have in the city?

I was away from Miri, from year 2005 to 2011. Each time, when I came back for vacation, the beach area is the place that I will always want to come at least once before I left Miri.

I would always want to tell that we have beautiful sunset. I can say, by seeing so many sun settling moment at different places, sunset in Miri isn’t that bad at all.

A few photos here, these ain’t the best. By times, I do hope I snap and share if they are people dropping by this blog…..

          Marina Bay, a man made land, constructed in year 2000. But, due to tsunami in 2005, public are afraid to buy any property at the beach.

Here, there is a port for all the sailing boat. Usually it is not opened for the public unless of special event carry up here. Previously, there is a restaurant, but closed down due to poor business.

people still come here during the weekend enjoy the nice view here.. and the wind

This is Seri Sarawak at the port. Checked in Google, she is once a very glamour transport sails the Sarawak Governor around the states. It seems like an abandoned rusted ship at Marina Bay.

At the other side of the coast, is another beach, but its under construction for another tourist spot in future.

Taman Selera, a beach with children playground, where most of the Mirian has our childhood memories here.

And this is the sun set that we have..

it is beautiful... 

CONSTRUCTION

It has been at least a year since I last dropped a few words on her. My eyes still open up looking around.

Miri has changed so much. My life as well, to a better one?

             I am now a training houseman in Miri General Hospital, learning to treat human in proper, applying my medical school knowledge to keep my patient alive. Of course, life is that fragile that it comes and goes, just like a passerby.

             YET, I am still carrying my D90 taking photos to share and also to keep my life healthier. Try to entertain myself beside working and sleep.

In hospital, I am being constructed by specialist to be fit as a medical officer to take care of the public.

Whereby, at times, I am still be sitting alone, relaxing….

 

李嘉誠14格言教你成功

李嘉誠14格言教你成功

1、在20歲前，事業上的成果百分之百靠雙手勤勞換來；20歲至30歲之前，事業已有些小基礎，那10年的成功，10%靠運氣好，90%仍是由勤勞得來；之後，機會的比例也漸漸提高；到現在，運氣已差不多要佔三至四成了。

不敢說一定沒有命運，但假如一件事在天時、地利、人和等方面皆相背時，那肯定不會成功。若我們貿然去做，失敗時便埋怨命運，這是不對的。

2、與新老朋友相交時，都要誠實可靠，避免說大話。要說到做到，不放空炮，做不到的寧可不說。

3、你要相信世界上每一個人都精明，要令人信服並喜歡和你交往，那才最重要。

4、即使本來有一百的力量足以成事，但我要儲足二百的力量去攻，而不是隨便去賭一賭。

5、一般而言，我對那些默默無聞，但做一些對人類有實際貢獻的事情的人，都心存景仰，我很喜歡看關於那些人物的書。無論在醫療、政治、教育、福利哪一方面，對全人類有所幫助的人，我都很佩服。

6、人才取之不盡，用之不竭。你對人好，人家對你好是很自然的，世界上任何人也都可以成為你的核心人物。

7、知人善任，大多數人都會有部份的長處，部份的短處，各盡所能，各得所需，以量才而用為原則。

8、做人最要緊的，是讓人由衷地喜歡你，敬佩你本人，而不是你的財力，也不是表面上的服從。

9、決定一件事時，事先都會小心謹慎研究清楚，當決定後，就勇往直前去做。

10、在劇烈的競爭當中多付出一點，便可多贏一點。就像參加奧運會一樣，你看一、二、三名，跑第一的往往只是快了那麼一點點。

11、人生自有其沉浮，每個人都應該學會忍受生活中屬於自己的一分悲傷，只有這樣，你才能體會到甚麼叫做成功，甚麼叫做真正的幸福。

12、苦難的生活，是我人生的最好鍛煉，尤其是做推銷員，使我學會了不少東西，明白了不少事理。所有這些，是我今天10億、100億也買不到的。

13、在事業上謀求成功，沒有甚麼絕對的公式。但如果能依賴某些原則的話，能將成功的希望提高很多。

14、人們讚譽我是超人，其實我並非天生就是優秀的經營者。到現在我只敢說經營得還可以，我是經歷了很多挫折和磨難之後，才領會了一些經營的要訣。

scary movie

It’s either I have been watching too many movies, or my own imagination; I have my own “SCARY MOVIE” last night, a combination of few movies in my dream.

It starts with some chaos, where a friend of mine in my college comes and tell me, we were been arrange on a flight to escape from a tsunami. Without hesitancy, I packed up with some clothes, my camera, laptop and left the hostel.

Once reaching the airport, I saw a plane, Boeing Model 307 Stratoliner, a 40s Boeing carrier, some fighting carrier which is used during World War 2 by US army to drop the two nuclear bomb on Japan.

Story continues,

We were going to be sent to a secret base where there is another carrier for us. At that moment, I started worrying of my family back in my hometown. I try to call back, even though news was telling the tsunami had flooded over the north part of peninsular Malaysia, which might have destroyed the telecommunication system.

Vincent was so worried, afraid that the tsunami has destroyed his hometown. There are so many things which I wish to tell my family. At least a sentence of “I love you” before the end of the world.

Fortunately, the call can be getting through, and mum picks up the phone. I was told that, they were on the highest building in Miri. The tsunami has flooded over the fifth floor and water level is still inclining.

What mum and dad tell me is be a good doctor and save more life. And we hang up

The flight landed and in front of us is a big huge ship, THE TITANIC. We are escaping on a titanic.

The first wave comes and hit us. The scene is like those we saw in the movie “2012”. We can see the tsunami destroyed lots of houses and buildings. And, …. Mummy calls back and tell me the water level is going to reach their floor.

And, mum advice me must take care, with love.

And, I’m awake……

meaning

when we look on some photos, we can feel the feeling when the picture was taken

if you still don't understand. magnified the photos.

every single point is telling you, the feeling behind the work.

salt, sugar and petro

During our schooling time, we are infused with something call Vision 2020, a vision by our beloved 4th prime minister. Since there, we all got our subsidization, in almost everything important things appear in Malaysian daily life.

We are been subsidized in salt, sugar . So, in the end, Malaysian is in high risk of hypertension and diabetes melitus. now, government cut down salt and sugar subsidize.

Malaysia is an Islamic country. I am very agreeing with this statement. Cause we are like other Islamic country. We export petroleum, and we are been subsidized in petroleum. So, due to the cheap petroleum, we could used more and drive fast on the road. The best petroleum user team we have in Malaysia, the Mat Rempit. Even Valentino Rossi is telling," ii.. saw manny drivor drive fast on the road!" We are too fast until V. Rossi asked us to drive slow, cause he is afraid that one day, a Malaysian will come out and take over his champion in Motorbike Grand pix.

We are been subsidized in education and health. So, we produce many scholars and sent them to Singapore as gift to strengthen the diplomatic relationship between the two country. When this Malaysia born Singaporean fall sick, all of them come back Malaysia to seek for treatment, cause the treatment fee is only 1 Ringgit. Very cheap, know.

We like the number one. We have all things start with one. One Malaysia, One Malaysia Clinics, One Malaysia mutual fund, and even One Utama. We really Utamakan(stress on) ONE.

So, now the government is facing a problem. High budget and debt which leads to bankruptcy. Recent statement from the Prime Minister Office, if Malaysia is continuing having debt, by the time in year 2019, the debt will rise by 900% and the government will face bankruptcy.

What??!! gonna bankrupt in year 2019 when we are a develop country in 2020? cool....

What i think is, our current government is thinking too much and too far. They are so confident that they will still rule the country until year 2019, which no one can predict. Unless they have the skill to make sure that they are always the ruling government. I am very happy if they mind to tell the public how they do it.

Now, they try to cut down the subsidize. Reason? to save the national savings. (or theirs?)

Malaysian A ask government," would you mind to cut down the tax as well?

cause there is no changes in salary."

Government," i wish to actually, we are very considering of our own people.

Not only the tax, the toll fee, the car tax etc.

we are very opened minded and considerate government.

but... but.. ermm.... we really need your support financially."

Malaysian A," but we have petronas, earning a lot."

government," those money we need to give to pirates in Africa region to protect shipping."

"pirates?!!"

does the statement sounds a bit hopeless to all the Malaysian? Life is gotta getting worse and worse. A lot of people is saying Malaysian government is going to be like Iceland or Greece if we do not manage ourselves properly.

where are all the money? if compare to the products built in the nation, it doesn't match compare to the amount the nation earned and the money spent according to the plan.

no one is against the termination or reduction of the subsidize, but can i ask you back, our government,

what can you do, in rebate for us? are you sure you can do better with this?

the election

one of my friend used to give a very nice comment, re-election will be continued until particular party win in an election.

by chance, there is a re-election in Sibu, Sarawak, which is known as a warming up activity before the state election which is coming soon. as usual, competition between the blue and the red.

so, here's come my story.
the blue came out with a statement which is written in the newspaper this morning, that the red representative always want to be famous in their own party. And, the blue will only always work for the public. They never think of getting famous. What is the point given by the blue to support his statement?
the red actually have few candidates for the coming election. But, in the end, still the eldest striker step up for the try. Blue later asking, why the red never give chance to the younger striker? Still want to "act" strong to show that they can, so that they can be famous people in his team?

by here, i would like to throw back the same statement to the blue.
who is the president of your team now? how many years he or she has been sitting at this position? does he give chance to the youth?
the situation seems to be like Manchester united and the Glazier Family.

whoever who is going to win in the coming election, the one who get benefit is the boss, the public. but for long term, i still cant imagine what will happen if the blue win, or i still cant see how can the red bring changes to the people.

me, neither supporting any party. but same advice, think for your future.
never wait for the road to be repaired during the few weeks before election.
empty cheque is always easy to be made.
look around you, how many things has been done after the last few election?

lastly, pray to god for his guide....

amen
