My Flip Flop

Even though I am a bit free, but I keep myself busy as I need to prepare to move out to Penang soon. I decided to move on Friday. Actually I am wondering about how many of my stuff I should bring together. Considering of a limited space of my car is one thing. Another and most importantly is, how big is my room size in Penang?

I talked about this with my friend to whom I will stay with, and he said the room is “small but not really small”. How small is small? I asked him to compare it with any room he knew during our old days in the university, but no concrete answer given. Well, I don’t blame him.

So yesterday, I decided to ask him to take a picture of that room in 4 different angles. I asked him how many tiles covered up the floor, so that I can estimate the room size and he did reply me the info, thanks to him once again.

Well, as an IE, doing layout is one of my job descriptions. So I try to apply this skill in deciding about the most conducive layout for my room, so I can have the most possible efficient layout in town. To my amazement, the room is real small!! Is this the room I am going to stay in?

Look at how many unutilized tiles left? FYI, one tile measured about 30cm square. So, I am pretty sure that my room is really small. I shouldn’t even think about what things I should or should not bring along.

Anyway, I remind myself to be simple. It’s good enough to have a friend to offer me a room to stay and it really avoid me a hassle to find a new room around. So, thank you Henry. One thing is, I am going to negotiate further so that the rent can be made lower than what we verbally agreed earlier. Hehehe…..

Yesterday I went to KLCC. I got free TGV coupon and I think why not? I kan dah ‘bujang’ balik….. hehehe. I observed my surrounding like a stranger. I suspect that this might due to excess exposure of the wall inside my office.

I parked my car at Taman Jaya LRT station. I was surprise to know that the parking fee have increased from RM 3 to RM 4. If I used the MBPJ parking, it will only cost RM 0.6/hr.

I guess people making a lot of money with parking business. It’s an easy business I think. If you get the right location, you do not need to worry whether it can sell or not. How much of money you can get in a month if every day the parking is full like this:???

Let’s say 200 cars per day with 26 working days in a month….. they can easily get 20.8K/ month. There is no major cost as no material, no machine, no depreciation etc. involved …. May be only small management or maintenance cost incur which contribution might not be significant. I don’t know. I just guess.

How much do you think they will get when this parking complex completed??

No Idea

It has been a week since my last post. I don’t really have any idea about what to write. I had many things inside my head previously but I just had to drop it since it was very personal. By the way it doesn’t mean that I will not revealing it, only waiting for a good time to do so.

Talking about work….. Well, nothing special about it. Main thing to do is to prepare a set of target for 2009 Performance Index for the profit centres. Damn! I really like it. Although sometime it’s a bit confusing, but I enjoy doing it.

Each and every day, I am counting how many days left before my long holidays. I have 9 days of annual leave remaining. And I plan to take all of it starting on the 18 Dec 2008. Well, I expect some difficulties of getting it approved, but this Monday should be the day to know about it. As for now, there is no need to worry about it. Worry when the time is right.

This week is a week where I had my performance being reviewed. I was requested to think about how good my performance throughout the year and to decide what score I deserved to get. Well, this is more on self reflection. So without hesitation, I gave myself an A (82.4%). Hopefully the Company will agree with this as it will be reflected in my year-end bonus. (After all, who doesn’t want an A anyway…..)

And lastly, I am not sure whether you have seen this, but I got this email saying that the New Proton MPV will much look like this:
