BackPacking Stuff (7) : Credit/Debit Card

Credit/Debit Card: This is very important but not really essential!

Bring to much cash money at a time might be risky! Money is like a sugar! Try to imagine that a sugar have a leg and can walk around. There must be a lot of ants will be chasing after it!

Credit Card and Debit Card has the same purpose. To make you able to shop and shop until you die!

The differents and the pro and cons between these two cards you might want to refer it from other source, which I will not explain here.

However, you have to consider about these things when you decided to use these cards:
1. For Islamic Card, It can't be use in every shop especially bars. (It doesn't mean you drink and drunk when you went to bar!)
2. The charges for withdraw money are differents between these two cards.
3. If you use bank card, ensure to call your bank at least two weeks before!
4. If you increase your limit (temporary increase) you might seek advice from the bank first!
5. Makesure you have enough balance to use abroad and ensure to notice the bank before you use it abroad.
6. The security of the usage of the card abroad.

I have an experience where I can't withdraw my money through credit card when I was in Cambodia. When I make a phone call to the bank, they told me just because I temporary increase my limit, they can't proceed with the cash withdrawal. What a bullshit! I endup to stay in Cambodia for another one week without money!

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

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

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
