    ByFaris August 22, 2023August 25, 2023

    Caveat: The writer is not well versed in the subject of electrical and electronic, nor has he experience in working in the automotive industry. He just now how to use a keyboard, hence wrote this post. Tesla has been making waves in Malaysia recently. I wonder whether using Tesla (or other Electric Vehicles (EV)) at…

    Thank You, MRTC

    ByFaris August 19, 2023August 19, 2023

    MRTC stands for Mass Rapid Transit Corporation, a government linked company in Malaysia which I used to work since 2013 until 2021. Today marks the day that I started working there (and a decade of working there, if I had stayed). I spent 8 years working there, and although I have left the place for…

    How to Keep Going

    ByFaris August 17, 2023

    In doing work and completing a project, that is. Sometimes it gets hard and things don’t seem to progress, that you start to let things slide. You would then lose the momentum, making it even harder to start again. So it is very important to keep going and not stopping. The question is, how to…

    Under promise

    ByFaris August 13, 2023

    There’s a saying in project management, or even the corporate world, that you should under promise but overdeliver, i.e. you say you can do something by the end of the week but you try to finish it even earlier, for example by the middle of the week, or even earlier, like the end of the…

    Dreams

    ByFaris August 11, 2023August 11, 2023

    Sometimes dreams are just that, dreams. There are times in life that you have to sacrifice your time and effort towards your dream, in order to help others in need, or to further their dream. Does your dream live in theirs then? Most likely not. I remember the song ‘Numb’ from Linkin Park, where it…

    Rail Report Discussion: Freight Collision, Doncaster 2022

    ByFaris August 8, 2023August 8, 2023

    The RAIB Report can be referred here. All rights reserved to Crown copyright 2023. R082023_230803_Loversall_Carr_Junction The cause of the accident is that the driver failed to break, most likely due to micro-sleep (my guess).

    You Reap What You Sow, a While Ago

    ByFaris August 3, 2023August 3, 2023

    Although it doesn’t seem impressive, the strawberry above is precious to me. It is the first strawberry that I have grown (and insyaAllah more to come) and have just eaten. To be honest, it doesn’t taste sweet at all 🥴. The experience on the other hand, is invaluable.

    Rail Accident Report Discussion: Embankment Washout Haddiscoe

    ByFaris August 1, 2023August 3, 2023

    A train stopped where part of the track has been washed out. I think pictures explain it best. As per the picture, the train has already gone a bit over the washout/hole. The driver stopped the train and wanted to reverse it but the car/end that was over the hole, started to lean over. The…

    Summer Lily

    ByFaris July 30, 2023

    This sprang open this morning. It was like the two buds at the background, taking seemingly forever and suddenly it ‘burst’ open. Such a pleasant surprise. Two things I can takeaway from this: 1. You never know when the next breakthrough or chance/change or rezeki is gonna be and come from. It might just burst…
