Thoughts : Land Bridge

It's AEC! AEC is on!

AEC is the ASEAN Economy Community. The purpose was to apply the Euro concept on ASEAN member states. Likely. Not entirely. 

Land Bridge, in our context is to connect two countries (member states) via land border. Like what we have with Thailand. 

When I first heard of land bridge, I visualized it as the physical land bridge, like what we have with Singapore... nope. To think of it, we don't have land border with Singapore! 

But we do have with Brunei, Philippine and even Indonesia, I don't really sure (must do more study!). 

Okay, back to land bridge, it's actually a concept of company to company or maybe government to government. It's a mutual understanding between two member states' company. Like right now, we have a good land bridge with Thailand's rail company, I mean our KTMB and the Thai Railways. That is one of the examples of land bridge, that we can be moving seamlessly from Malaysia to Thailand via land border.

This concept also applied to the cargo movement. 


Talk : Hearsay

I just had a meeting and few discussions with few bosses this morning. There's a bit of amendment needed since one of the bosses didn't feel like agreeing to whatever I've proposed for next year project. I've done some studying (the information and resources were all there right before my eyes) and managed to convince bosses that that is achievable with little tweaks here and there. Alhamdulillah! 

Apparently I am quite good (riya') doing the things I like. 

My exboss told me that I could go finish my study since the supervisors and other lecturers had been talking about my lack of everything in the study department. Yeah, I can't deny everything he said but it'd be more suitable if the issues were highlighted to me instead of passing the info through someone else.

Things are complicated but I've talked to my exboss (my first boss in the service), he gave me such a nice advice and most importantly he understood my situation. 

It was always nice to talk to a person without being judge, right? RIGHT.

Hi!

Hi and Assalamualaikum!

2016 is approaching and I have this thought of starting of new, but too damn in love with my old blog to delete it so here's the new platform for me to share what's on my mind.

Hopefully this will be a more mature blog with more meaningful, (and intelligent) posts ahead. :)

Cheers to 2015 and 2016!
