Friday finally! Other than dragging myself out of bed at 8:30am in the morning and speeding down the kesas highway at 120km/h to work in the rain on bald Michelin tyres, I guess the rest of my day went pretty well.
Today was also to be the last day I will be going to work in the cruise terminal in Port Klang, 50+ km from my house, paying RM13.20 in toll charges daily and an average of RM15 for petrol. All those traveling for the past 6 months had really taken it's toll on my health, but nevertheless, the beautiful sea and port view, ships sailing by, sound of the waves always leaves me with a refreshed feeling and a renewed perspective of things everytime I think about it.
I took some great pictures of the team with my handphone, without me inside :( toiled for half the day like a labourer carrying boxes, had a good lunch with the boss and the rest of the team members and pretty much enjoyed the whole of today (my last working day at Port Klang). I know I'm gonna miss this place but I know that everything that happens, happen for a reason. And I do believe that good reason outweights bad when it comes to moving to the city to work.
Going to work in the city ain't so bad after all (I hope...) as many say that it's both fast paced, fun filled and challenging. 3 words which are seldom used together unless it's for going to a Keanu Reeves movie or running a marathon. Today I'm not very sure I can take another day of cramming in a crowded LRT train commuting to work in downtown Kuala Lumpur everyday with a few hundred thousand people. It brings back really unpleasant memories of my life in Singapore a few years back.
It's not that I hate public transport... I HATE PUBLIC TRANSPORT! How's that for a statement? Well, since it's convenient for me, living just 15 minutes away (walking distance) to the lrt station, I'm gonna give it a shot for the sake of trying and if it sucks eggs just as I had anticipated it, then I'll stick to riding my rickety old motorcycle to work every morning. I don't mind all the traveling on the road plus all the dangers thrown in, but at least I get to travel alone, not having to smell somebody's foul body odour beside me.
I don't know why but today suddenly I had a tingling urge to find out more information about Px2, a large payment processing enabler. Not that I have never heard of it before, but the idea bulb in my head suddenly blinked on as if possessed and shone a bright shiny yellow light in my head. The little birdy in my head told me that if I could come up with an idea to emulate the business model of this company, maybe I can propose it to a company which has the resources to kinda duplicate this company.
Naturally when I get these kinds of sudden idea binges, what I'd do first is to research the alternatives, as well as pros and cons to this company and it's product. Looks like I have dug up quite alot of dirt as well as gold nuggets based on this idea alone. Well, seems like whoever reads this might have the slightest clue what I am talking about, don't worry, it's for me to refresh on in time to come and understand what was going on in my head at the time, as in this time. What I can say after reading through the overload of information on the internet is, it's a good idea and the thing with good ideas are, most people come up with it and sit on it after that. I have learnt after all this years that, to succeed, you must TAKE ACTION and TAKE ACTION NOW!
