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…
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. It took me a few times hearing the term, to make the connection that bank holiday refers to what is called public holiday in Malaysia….
Manchester for this past week has been suffering from haze and smoke. Apparently someone set the grass (or is it field) at an open area in a moor on fire, and caused a wild fire that then spread. A news article I read says it was from a firework while another says it is arson;…
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;…
I have a new hobby now, which I consider is a hobby, and that is 3D printing. I am only starting though and it has been very interesting so far. Initially I justified (we always do this, don’t judge me, haha) that 3D printing will help me in not buying certain things like plastics stuff…
It has been almost 4 summers that I am here in the Uk and it seems that every year brings another set of lessons. One that I am still finding myself accepting is how early the day starts in spring or more so in summer. Sunrise is at 5:15 am. Compare that to winter, where…
Some days, works feel very unrewarding. Recently it felt this way to me, and even more when I felt that I was being stonewalled in my progress as well as my effort doesn’t feel appreciated. It is bad enough that the work is unrewarding, it is even worse when you feel the people involved are…
Recently my workplace got a 3D printer, and even did a demo of it, which caused me to buy one for myself. Yes, that’s right, I am blaming my workplace for my spending! Jokes aside, I was impressed by the presentation about the ease of use and the benefits that I thought it could bring…
