A friend recently asked about getting a job and moving to the UK, and I thought I’d write it down. This is more like a reflection and I would maybe update it in the future when I gain more exposure and experience. First of all, there will be the argument why go to the UK…
A colleague asked whether Malaysian drink ‘British tea’, other than drinking teh tarik. I asked what it meant by ‘British’ tea and he explained that it’s plain tea, to which I say we do. It’s teh ‘O’, as in the ‘O’ alluding to the tea is plain without sugar and condensed milk. But of course…
I’ve not been writing for a while, which is what happens when life takes over and the system and/or discipline to continue writing is not there, but I was reminded of this website when Google sent an email telling me how my pages ranked. It was paltry and the most clicked link was around 7…
My daughter was doing her homework today, online on the school website, and got one answer wrong. So she got 50% mark. She was a bit upset and told me about it. “That’s okay,” I said, and highlighted that what is important is that she did the work. I remember a study that says children…
I just came back from holiday last week, and as part of work, I just went on a few site visits this week. This visits were to other businesses section/departments, with different products, people and processes that are new to me. New terms, acronyms and all that made it very difficult for me to follow…
I think I have written this before but the public holidays in the UK, where most businesses and the government ceases operation (normal office ones) are called as bank holiday.

I read this book and thought, “Wow, that was a lot of information within a few pages!”. The book is called ‘Collins Big Cat – Where on Earth?’ and tells about previous famous explorers who went all over the world to ‘discover’ new places. As this was directed to UK readers, the explorers were mostly…
Once in a meeting, my colleagues mentioned about the Queen, and how they like Queen’s songs. The word was “They don’t make songs like they used to, anymore”. I kept quiet but thought to myself, Queen is great but there are great songs nowadays too. Fast forward to a few days ago, my daughter was…
Yeah another post about AI. I got a free trial of Youtube Music and was enjoying myself listening to some French songs that I don’t understand, when I thought “Hey, this song is good – who is the singer?”. I then went to the ‘artist’ page and there’s no description about the singer, only a…
My previous lecturer posted on Linkedin of how people completed a task in designing a transport system for an airport, without even reading the resources he attached with his assignment. He asked if people were too quick on arriving to a conclusion (which is a big no-no in Systems Engineering thinking). I think he’s wrong;…
