A Jack Reacher series. I really like the first book, where the author, Lee Child, introduced a no-nonsense character that’s willing to bend things to uphold ‘justice’. That character was Jack Reacher. He was also methodical and thorough, always taking precautions and stacking odds on his side. It was entertaining and in certain ways, insightful….
My wife and I has been discussing how to let go certain things in parenting, i.e. to accept things for what they are and not too be stressed out with the kids. It all comes down to balance, on how much you are willing to close a blind eye and how much you want something…
This is the second book in the series, and I must say that I am looking forward to reading the others. Bernard Cornwell, the author, is slowly becoming one of my favourite author.

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…
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…
