Super rich life is boring?

 Assalamualaikum w.b.t & hey friends

Recently, I played a game in my phone. Sorry I will not specify what is the name of the game. But, the game actually is the "altered" mode which I downloaded from google and I got tons of money already without even start to play yet. Of course in the normal game mode, every player is supposed to go through the game and collect some coins for upgrade your item.

But, with this "altered" game, I already became super rich or multi-billionaire or I can call it infinite-aire 😜. Pretty good right? When I bought the new item, I will upgrade it to its peak performance without even need to think about the coins. After series of games, I started to feel boring because I don't find any challenge anymore. When I bought new item, I curious about how it works but afterwards I will feel boring and bought another item to explore and this mundane cycle kept repeating until I stop.

From this experience, I start to notice that actually super rich will be a boring life (of course everybody wants to be rich and keep growing rich). But, when we become super rich and our property at infinity level (just to describe about too much of money which we can't even imagine), at one point we will start to feel boring because no more challenge. We don't have the target and the struggle anymore and it will be a downright mundane life (at least for me). 

But of course, in my real life, I am struggling with my work to get more pay to continue my live. But, to be super rich until I can get anything I want and my money growing to infinite level, I don't think it is my target. 

GST VS SST : Consumer Perspective

 Assalamualaikum and hey friends,

Legends:

*GST = government service tax

*SST = Sales & service tax

It's been a while since my last post. I have commit to myself that I will write an entry by weekly basis but due to hectic life, I have skipped it (this is an excuse to make me feel better so that I won't feel inferior and disappointed over myself for not obeying my own habit. But, there is no busy excuse or no time except we are not make time for it).

Yesterday, I went to Dakgalbi in Gurney Plaza with my beloved wife. There we were served with korean style food which comprises of korean fried rice, ramen, kimchi & special marinated chicken or they called it as dakgalbi. The food was delicious and we were enjoying it so much. The server will cook in front of us and it's pretty easy to cook as they got the paste already and just mix every thing inside the pan. 

Back to main topic, after I recieved the receipt, I saw there were 2 taxes but with the same words which were service tax. One service tax was 10% and another service tax was 6% and it cost me 16% of extra charge from the basic price. Nah pretty bad right? I remembered last few years, a lot of people especially youngsters did not agree with the government when they decided to implement the GST (6%). It was implemented for a while but it was stopped then replaced with SST.

Now, as a consumer, seriously I'm feeling depressing as I need to pay for 16% (SST) instead of 6% (GST) only 😡. So those who fight against GST before, do you feel the same way as I am? I hope you will regret now for against GST. Now, I don't find anyone or any group who against SST publicly same as GST before. Maybe the protestants against GST are having more money and they thought it's better to pay higher tax 😂.

Sorry, maybe from the economic perspective, I assume SST better (that's why people against GST before) , so I think I will need to read and study both pros and cons of SST and GST to make myself clearer. But as a consumer, to see 16% tax I need to pay instead of 6% only will make me feel bad, at least for now. 

Close Contact Covid 19

 Assalamualaikum w.b.t & hey friends,

Recently, it can be seen that there is almost 30k thousands for daily new cases for covid 19 in Malaysia (6 Mar '22 update : 27,181 cases). It looks very bad situation where Omicron variant spreads vigorously than previous variants. But, the effect is milder compare to the rest which is good news to us. Honesty, I am not so sure the milder effect due to majority of people got vaccinated or due this Omicron variant properties itself. Let the people in this field answer this one as I am not in medical field.

Back to the main topic of this entry. Actually, my wife and I currently under self quarantine due to close contact with my mother in law who is positive now. Last week, we went back to my wife hometown and everything looks well. But, on Saturay night, our mother started to feel chills and not feeling well. But, none of us suspicious anything because during that night, the surrounding environment pretty cold due to raining. 

However, last night (Sunday night), our mother did swab test (RTK) and it was positive. So, all close contact need update mysejahtera apps and now all under quaratine due to no booster jab and having symptom. For current info, anyone who has been classified as close contact but aready get booster jab and no symptom will no need to quarantine anymore. I would say from day to day, the SOP start to be less stringent compare to before. But, let the government and Ministry of Health do their work.

Lastly,  I hope we will fully recover and return to good health condition back and do daily routine as per normal. Amiin. See you in my next entry.

Movement Control Order (MCO) - Covid 19

Assalamualaikum w.b.t & hi,


It's been almost a year since I wrote my last post. As usual, due to hectic schedule of my life, I was not able to update my blog .


As we know, we have been severely attacked by pandemic Covid-19 since few months ago. Thousands of people die around the world.


Currently, our country (Malaysia) is having 3rd phase MCO in order to curb the spreading of covid 19. Statiscally, we can see that Malaysia is performing well where more people are recovering and lesser people are being infected from day to day.


What I can say, this is the positive outcome that we have been waiting for and I hope that Malaysia will be fully recover from this pandemic covid 19.


On the other hand, there are few things that I can see the impact after 2 times MCO had been extended from positive and negative side.


1) Positive
- No more panic buy as it was few weeks ago. Even just now I went to grocery shop, I found that still got lot of gardenia bread available (no more classified as rare item)
- Statistic of revored people is more than 50% of total cases (it's been few days of new cases reported which below 100)


2) Negative   
- More people (of course inside car or ride motorcycle) can be seen on the road; traffic becoming heavier (maybe people is started to immune with our situation) after more sectors were allowed to operate to balance our economy condition.


Thus, what I can say that, to those who work in the essential sector, please follow strictly the SOP as per advise by KKM and government. We are still not win over this covid-19 yet.


Here I would to list out few common measures that we must comply during this tough period

1) Social distancing at least 1 meter from each other
2) Regularly wash hand using soap and water for 20 seconds
3) Apply sanitizer on hand
4) Wear mask or/and glove while going out
5) Stay at home / Quarantine ourselves
6) Avoid gathering [I see a few of young people (not all) not comply this one; even at my area]


I would like to emphasize more on item no 5 where do not jeopardize the struggle of KKM and government in curbing spread of covid-19 by being selfish. Go out only for crucial and vital activities or else stay at home and quarantine ourselves.


Stay safe and be healthy to all.

Overtime ?

Assalamualaikum w.b.t & Hi,



Now is 7.42pm (my laptop clock). I am still at workplace. So hardworking right? Actually is not. Hahahahaha. I need to support production team since new materials are running. As an engineer, I need to make sure products in NPI mode will be successful.


For me, it's okay if sometimes I need to stay back. If always, then I tend to sabotage (not really actually).


I have time to write this entry even at workplace? Hmmmm. I already justified the first product run and it was in superb condition. So now, my technician is running machine while I am waiting if there any quality problem arise during machine running.


Does it considered over time claim? Absolutely yes. But for engineer level, I can only claim RM10 per hour. So little right? Technician got higher rate compare to me even an operator also. So sad.


But, it's okay. For the sake of company development (exaggerating), I will sacrifice my leisure. But not for frequent time (only for sometime).


I also already ran out of idea. Just a scratch writing while waiting product finished.

Bad Luck Day

Assalamualaikum w.b.t and Hi,

When you see the picture for this entry, what do you think? For me, I will be shocked. This happened to me last week. At first, when I rode my motorcycle from factory, I felt a bit difference. That time I was thinking that maybe my tire did not have enough pressure. 

But, I still continuing my "journey" to go back home. For your info, from my factory to my house is about 35km for one way. Quite a long distance. After I arrived at my home, then I realized a screw had penetrated through my tire. Such a bad day I felt that time

Then, I decided to go to the nearest and most preference motorcycle workshop to check. That tire I just changed around 7 months ago. It costed me about RM240 include balancing and installation. That time I was thinking my money will fly away since my tire still in a good condition. Hahahahahah

After I arrived at the workshop, I asked the foreman to check. Then, he took out the screw and put a little bubble to check whether any leaking or not. Alhamdulillah my tire still in a good condition since the screw was not fully penetrate through my it. One more thing, before this, I already put a tire sealant inside my tire to prevent puncture. I forget already how much I bought from that shop. However, you may checked via shopee base on my search: https://shopee.com.my/Emergency-Tyre-Sealant-Puncture-Repair-Tayar-Pancit-i.6033242.1801913112. (This is not an advertisement and I was not paid to put the link here. I just put here for your reference and maybe you wanna try it for your own good. )

One thing that that I'm keep thinking is how come the screw can penetrate through my tire at the side area instead of middle area? Is it during cornering? hmmmmmmmmmmmm 🙇🙇🙇
