Loving!

Soon, posting blogs here would be getting luxurious and kinda hard for me! Why? Because holidays were over! "No time" and "Not free" would become the common excuses for us when everything had been back to routine rail track.

I had been writing and posting blogs for the holidays, last week, and still hope that I could do it as often as possible in the future. My wife and I had purchased a Digital camera, hopefully we could take more pictures to add in the blog.

My wife was so loving for the last whole week! Perhaps, holidays really helped her to relax. We went for shopping at Tebrau City Jusco one afternoon, and she suggested to go to have a look, or perhaps, selected a digital camera.

Since she had brought out that idea, I thought we should get a model, which had the function to go deeper underwater, ie. featured with water proof marine pack.

Surprisingly she agreed!

Initially, we selected Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T10. Then, we took our time to go through a few shops, in order to make compare with the other brands. Finally, we decided to go back to the beginning and chose T10.

Of course, I have to emphasize here, SONY doesn't pay me to promote their digital camera, though I really hope that they would have given me one for promotion. HAHAHAHA!

Why would my wife and I choose this model? That wouldn't be more important than my wife had accepted the fact that I would be going for scuba diving once in a while or seasonal in the future.

Hasta La Vista!

Holy Jelly Fish! That exclaimation was originated from a superhero cartoon, Aquaman! It was classical! I had no idea why that exclaimation came to my mind when I had my technical seminar done!? Wondered why?! Hmmmmm...Hope it was not due to the dehydration syndrome? Hadn't gone back to the sea for long time... : D

The whole event took weeks to prepare but only a few hours spent through two presentations in two areas, Johor and Malacca, within two days. This is my first seminar organized since I had my own company started for about three years ago. I hadn't got to organize the complete event by own self before, kinda tough task as I needed to process everything alone, like:
1) Planning the budget
2) Booking restaurant VIP rooms
3) Estimation list of guests about to present for the seminar
4) Design, printing and posting the invitation cards
5) Visiting farmers for reminding and briefing about the seminar
6) Interpretation of "English to Chinese (in Malaysia, it could be Mandarin or other Chinese dialects)" during the presentation

Luckily, I had supports from my principal, they provided presentation materials like PowerPoint, LCD projector, product brochures, and T-shirts. And also one of my juniors, assisting me to contact farmers in Malacca while I was contacting the others in Johor.

For this special event, it was my pleasure to work together with Dr. Chan & Dr. Sergi. Especially Sergi, a Spanish veterinarian who was based in Philippines, to present the technical talk to our farmers here. He gave the talk in English, wtih Spanish accent, and I interpreted it to Chinese.

Sergi had never been to Johor Bahru before. Thus, Johor Bahru is pretty unknown to him. He was surprised to see our "super labour" motorcyclists all bunched up into a single lane at the check-point on the Singapore side, clearing the custom and rushing back to their home in JB. So many of them, with the violent crying honks, fearless roars from the engine, squealing brakes of the motorcycles. He told me he had never seen this besides Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam. That was his first impression while about to come in to JB.

Well, it was happy to find Sergi is a scuba diver too. Another vet who can dive! He was certified by PADI in Philippines. He was really lucky to be based in Philippines, lots of dive spots there and quite well known. He mentioned a few to me, but I just couldn't keep those names in mind due to the language and partly, his accent.

Hasta La Vista! Meaning "see you again" in Spanish! I wouldn't have known the meaning of that phrase if I didn't know him. I hope we could meet again for the prospective cooperation in business and technical backup. Of course, could also plan for scuba diving in Malaysia if he got his spare time here.
