kl! kl!

i have came back from europe for more than a month now and have completed my first month with technip. everything is pretty smooth and nice at the moment! i might not be making a lot of $$$ but i'm pretty happy with what i have now.

i was very doubt on my decision before i came back but now, i'm more than happy to be back. somehow, my root is here! no matter how far i go or how long i'll be away, i will still come back here. kl is such a nice city! i think i will be around for another 2-3 years.

my parents are my strength! they are always there for me. sometimes, i did think i have disappointed them. no matter what, i love them more than anything in the world! i will be an extremely good son, i promise!

a big thank to technip and hood for giving me a chance to prove myself. after being jobless for so many months, i'm so eager to gain back all the knowledge i once mastered. i really enjoy being a pipeline engineer. many of you might not believe this... but hey folks, i love doing those pipeline analyses and design works.

my friends are just great... i'm so glad that we are meeting again. my colleagues/ office mates are extremely amazing. after not being together for almost two years, i'd feel like the bond between us is actually stronger and you guys are even more "funny" and "yellowish" than before. and you guys should stop blaming me for triggering the "yellow" side of your brain.

no matter where i go... travelling can't be separated from me! i'm going to conquer india and china! india is always a dream to me... going there will be a huge challenge for me. i have a big issue with cleanliness and hygienic matter. anyway, i will kick off my asia exploration at myanmar in october and vietnam in december this year. next year, hopefully, i will have no problem going to china, maldives, laos and sri lanka.

life is just great... no matter where we are, as long as we believe we can! life can be extremely beautiful. thanks to my family and friends for being so supportive and added so much colours to my life.
