How stupid I am in Medan ... (3)

Assalamualaikum ...

Today is my second day here ...
I discover a lot of weaknesses about this trip ...
Insyallah this will lead to a better trip sooner dan jugak good back packers ...

What I had discovered?
1. From previous post I did tell you guys that I have totally not planned the trip well ...
Not at all sebenarnya! I found out that the best book/reference that we need to have is ...
Lonely Planet Travellers Guide Book! Because of both of us really decide all the things here based on our kepala hotak jek ...
2. We moved to the new hotel ... masyaallah ... panas banget! Sumpah ... then carik2 punya carik ... kat manalah foreigner duduk ... rupanya kat satu area ... aku tengah online skang ni penuh dgn foreigner ... dan sewa hotel area sini ... paling mahal 100 000 rupiah! Kalau nak yang murah ... hanya balik tido (dah nama traveller, buat apa lepak bilik jek) ... ada yang harga 40 000 rupiah!
Masyaallah ... dan paling mengejutkan, semua hotel yang mat salleh ni duduk adalah hotel-hotel yang telah di advice dalam buku tadi! Menyesal tak beli ... pengajaran!
3. As a traveller, macam aku ni, siam melayu, walaupun aku bermuka asian ... better kalau stay di area foreigner jugak (tempat mat salleh) sebabnya ... kita akan bersatu! Contohnya, petang tadi aku lepak di Sun Plaza, plaza paling up to date kat Medan, tetiba mat salleh ni tanya aku jam berapa dah ... dalam english ... aku jugak jawab dalam english .... tak ada jam ... dia terkejut dan tanya aku local ke? Aku jawab yang aku Malaysian ... then dari situ kami sempat borak sikit2 ... macam sama-sama Malaysian ... sebabnya apa? kami sama-sama foreigner ... so mmg kami kene bersatu ...

Conclusion:

Sebelum travel makesure spend at least one week to read and makesure to stay or mingle around dekat kawasan sama-sama traveller!

Hari ni aku makan KFC ... korang tau tak ... rupenye sini punye menu lain sket dan harganya murah sket! Aku cube satu menu tu namanya .... Yukini Rice tak silap ... MCD pulak ... harganya sama jek dgn Malaysia, tapi ... ada menu yang sediakan nasi!

Apa lagi nak cerita? Nothing much larrr ... the best thing about today ... I'm getting stronger and from now on ... I know the step to travel well ... as back packers ... Ilmu tuh penting! Alhamdulillah!

Take care!

Esok kami nak pindah hotel yang ada travellers ni ... dan nak buat assignment yang tak siap ...

Assalamualaikum ...

B.Eng boleh bawak mati!

Assalamualaikum ... I met one of my friends in her campus ... Well, she's a medical student ... Sweet and nice isn't it? or maybe ... COOL! We have been talking about her life and so mine ... Talking about job ... and a comparison about being a doctor and me ... marine engineer ... What maked her impress is the figure that i will received each month ... mmmmm .... i think its tooo selfish to talk about money here ... But what makes me feel stupid about her is ... When she used to say this stupid statement ... "Macam mana ko punya gaji lagi besar dpd aku huh? Padahal kos kau tak adalah susah sangat" Pergh ... What do you think my friends? One word crossed in my mind: BODOH! Dia tak tahu ke ... yang founder GENTING BERHAD tu kerja asalnya tukang kutip besi buruk? Last-last gaji mahal dari kita semua yang ada B.ENG? Dia tak tahu jugak ke yang mamat founder MICROSOFT tak habis degree pun? Rumusan: Manusia bongkak dengan sekeping degree yang diorang dapat! Assalamualaikum

MAnILa: CatATAn PerTAmA!

Nota Pertama: Penerbangan ku pada jam 1340 waktu tempatan. dari pintu C17, KLIA, perasaan ku sedikit cuak. Bimbang. Takut. Maklumlah, kali ni aku akan mengembara sendiri. Sebagai pengambara bebas (Independent Traveller). Independent Traveller: dengan bajet yang rendah, tak bergantung pada tour agent dan semuanya sendiri. Ada juga pegembara yang mengembara bersama teman, kawan, keluarga dan juga seorang! Ini adalah kali pertama aku mengambara bersendirian. Kalau sebelum ni, trip ke Taiwan, Korea, Indonesia, Kemboja dan Vietnam, aku bersama kawan. Aku merasa sedikit takut. Banyak sangat benda bersarang di fikiran aku sekarang. Walaupun aku ditemani Visa & Mastercard, mereka bukanlah sesuatu yang boleh aku harapkan. Ya, sekarang aku sedang mencabar diri aku! Aku mencabar diri aku sendiri ... aku letakkan ketepi kehidupan biasa di rumah. Sekarang adalah masa untuk aku kenal siapa aku ... untuk aku membaiki kebolehan diri, cara berkomunikasi, kekuatan diri dan jiwa, pegangan aku, kebole

Marine Engineering Bridging Program

Assalamualaikum ... DONE! It would be the best word to describe when I'm done my 2-year training ... 2 years isn't easy path for me to walk through ... Last week, I get back home after a few weeks struggle for my exams ... Theory exam (Oral Exam) at MARDEP Port Kelang ... MSCR exam (Marine Survical Craft & Rescue) at ALAM Melaka ... and a few courses before and after the exams ... Alhamdulillah ... I passed all the exams ... Now, it is the time for me to apply for my CoC (Certificate of Competency) ... 2 years back ... I remembered when one of the staff from my company said ... 'Your Degree is Useless ... You can burn it!' Phewwww! Just put yourself in my shoes ... :p When I was onboard ship ... Some peoples discriminate me and my buddy ... Just because we have a piece of paper ... B.eng Mechanical is nothing to them ... But then, its something to us ... A few cadets argued about how much we earned per month ... Nothing he shared with us ... Help with hidden agenda
