Talk the Talk 话话世界

   
This two days had been quite busy and emo at the same time. I've been went to
help my dad, so this two day I was doing all the typing stuffs, see clients and
then type out contract and let people signed it.

   
Why am I emo? Is because economy really getting worse. I was glad that I never
spent much to go Australia for study. First I found this when the last 15 days
of CNY, my family actually didn't eat that much of seafood or some CNY things.
Last few years, we used to eat "Cold Plate" or "4 seasons"
that's we usually ate in wedding dinners and CNY... Yeah, we used to eat it 3
times and above... Last year we even ate "pun Choi" although we
didn't have that much people but this year we really didn't eat that gland
probably I know why... *Sigh* By the way, I still enjoyed eating with family
even though the dinner might just be the normal type of 50 or 60 ringgit dinner
since I found my family wasn't that "hot" compared to last time we
used to eat a RM160 seafood...

   
Second, yesterday I went to meet Uncle Tan. He was my dad's friend. He have a
furniture factory in Rawang, his electrical stuffs and maintenance was
contracted by my dad's company. I drove to meet him in DU's Starbucks. During
our chat, he said that he will still assign the maintenance stuff for us. But I
and he chat about the economics and I asked him did he face problems... He said
he did... He been cut down on his production because the furniture are too much
produced compared to that were sold.*Sigh* we been talk about recently stuffs. Economics,
politics... I couldn't believe Uncle Tan don't know I was 18 (ahem, supposed to
be 17)... He thought I am 20 something (ahem, he said a figure more than25...)
Am I look that old? *Sigh* I need some SK2 or Maybelline already. He said if he
knows I was 18, he wouldn’t talk so much to me... He thought 18 can't
understand what he said... In fact, he found he was wrong... Haha. I believe I
wasn't the only 18 that understand the economics and politics; in fact I do
know a few smart 18... Haha. They just awesome compared to those average 18
that addicted in girls, games or clubbing. Haha.

    
Third, today I went to Shah Alam to check our client, one of the factories in
Shah Alam, Subang Hi-Tech Park... Talked to the MD over there. He was a
Japanese and he actually my dad's friend and now my friend too or more
accurately my boss. Him will be the key whether his company sponsoring me going
Japan for study or not. We "yum cha" in a restaurant near there and
we actually didn't drink tea, he asked me to accompany him for wine. He told me
the recent happens in the factory and in Japan. Believe it or not, the factory
that producing TV powder that's used in those big square TVs and LEDs that used
to beat their other branches in Holland, UK and US had been ordered to reduce 3
lines to one. Gosh! I was shocked because last year December, the company had
asked my dad for a conference about project to expand the factory meaning open
more lines for production. But now it was a REDUCE. The factory workers will
not be hired but forced to only work 4 hours per day and they been advice to
find part-time outside or just quit and change if they able to find new
job.  If you think that what's happening in the factory doesn't matter to
us contractor that is outside the company and factory. You're wrong. We are
actually in charge of maintenance, when the lines are busy, machines overused,
we have chances to earn money by replacing new ones or repair but now they just
using a single line which mean using the 3 lines machines alternatively, so
maintenance cost will be cut down. Which made the situation sucker is all price
submitted by contractor will have to be checked by MD and accountant. We are ok
with the MD, he is our friends what, but the accountant really shit... He is
very stingy and will be comparing the prices himself. Now some more Japan HQ
change the rules over here all credits of company will be submitted in and the
cheque will only be bank in after 60 days. (Last time was 30 days)...That's
means our company gains RM2000 this month. You need to wait until April then
get the money... Gosh!!! If you don't like it, there does will be other company
like it...

      
So went back and do some updates, calculations. Last year, we estimated the
expand of the Japan factory will be our priority income because our estimated budget
for this expands had been approved by the Japan HQ... Since it couldn't come
true, I can tell you how much it... 1,256,000 USD...is and our profits will be
about 15% of this budget... So now, it was put off and some more reduction of
lines... So far, I think the max the company can earn might be RM6, 000 per
month? It even worse compared to those worked. So I think I really made a great
choice for not wasting much money.

        
What caused I emo is... I really feel like buy a car but now I don't really want
it... So I was emo because I can't fix myself into a specific position and then
I started to emo again when I'm thinking I might going form 6 because jimat
money then start to argue with myself again why not A-levels... Aduh, then
after pre-u go where study... ARGHHH!!! See money is a problem!!!

        
I hope all the readers of this posts go talk to your parents and see whether
they have financial problem or not because economics will be getting worse...
Why I say this is because all people actually hoped Obama can helped us to get
thing back to the right position but now Obama had been busy to fix US back to its
right position, he even had the policy where US must only buy US products which
shut US's half of its door against the global. So we small country can't wait
for US to get back but our government is not smart and strong enough to get us
back to where we are... So now we will see every country will have to save themselves
by pulling out their factories and modals in other countries... In Malaysia,
Intel did it, Panasonic, Motorola... And I believe much more to come...

        
After telling so many uncheerful stuffs, talked about some happy ones. Digi's
3G is coming soon... I heard it should be before June this year. I wasn't a
Digi user and what am I so excited about it. I think most of us know, Maxis,
Celcom and Digi are now the biggest operators in MAS. Digi was enough to be the
top 3 even though it's has no 3G because of it's attractive "one
flat-rate" and so Digi are further enhance by 3G service.So now definitely
more people will be attracted to Digi since now MNP (mobile number portability)
allowed us to change operator but keeping the same number. If 3 operators
having 3G, Digi's rate are the most attrative ones. So there's must be a price
war between this 3 operators and not forget to mention the new U-mobile... So
it's quite interesting to see what going to happen and we consumers benefits
from the war between these telcos.

       
However, most of the benefits will be enjoyed by postpaid users but not
prepaid. Everyone should have know that prepaid's rate are much expensive
compared to postpaid's. As most of the students (prepaid users) said no money
to pay the bill... Prepaid compulsary reload to stay in active... (RM10 for a
week, a month=RM30 to 40;RM30 for a month;RM60 for 3 months)... and now some
telcos offerd postpaid plan like Maxis Value Plus 20 or Value Plus 50 or Digi's
D50 which also similar to what you paid for prepaid. As a teenager, I think
some of the teens even called more than 60 a month for prepaid so why don't
just change to postpaid enjoy a cheaper call rates?! Can always ask parents to
subscribe a higher plan such as D150 and supp u a line then both of you shared
the bill which give you much lower rates and more benefits.

        
While most of the parents think their children not suitable to use postpaid
because they didn't call much... But most of them don't know their children
don't want postpaid because they don't want their parents to access their bills
and rather take their pocket money and top-up their phones... Haiz... Why I'm
not one of them? haha!!! Because I'm a good boy. My handphone going to be
expired 13th feb and I left RM23.56... And 5 bucks was deducted because caller
ringtones... See I only reload RM30 a month and I used just 7 bucks... Like that
damn not worth... Shall ask daddy to just supp me a line, I wasn't scared him
to see who I called or smsed... I just scared he can't believe I got a hp and
do nothing about it...LOL... because all my good friends or those I used to
chat with smsed had went overseas. So this few days emo also no buddy to talk. This
2 years, what I need to fin is not gf but an accompany to talk and sms. Never
mind. Shall get normal soon. Chiaozz...
