It is New Year well for some part of the world.... where I am now, I am still 5 hours away from officially declare new year...... Well being at different timezone does feel a bit different and it make me feel how wonderful the world is.
2012.. like I said in my previous post I just hope to retain my job and in hope I get to search a new one before I can leave and explore another environment. Also being at different timezone make me feel I am always 5 hours younger hahaha.... I guess if a person can travel at the speed of light, he would have all the time he want. :P
Adios and HAPPY NEW YEAR....
2012
Yeah... well I guess you will probably bump into such kind of blog post of Facebook post in these coming week as we are just 2 days away from starting a brand new year. A very typical question people will be asked or ask themselves is what have you done in 2011 and what are you going to do in 2012. New year resolution? Well that part is kinda crap for me... most of the time people don't do what they plan in their life. Enough said...
Well, I can't say much for 2011 and I guess the best thing happen to me is landing a job at Qatar and I had a good CNY because it was the time I have with my family before I came to Qatar. And so what is for 2012? I guess I will try my very best to keep my job and hopefully I land with another job in Dubai or New Zealand.
Nonetheless, 2012 I wish my family and myself and my fellow friends always in the best state of health.

Jogging at Aspire Park
I went to Aspire Park to try out a new environment to jog and I found Aspire Park is a great place to do so but bad place to jog during winter as it is too cold. So, that why I only been there once.

Just as I thought
Just as I thought thing are getting better, it wasn't. Being 3 weeks away from going back to KL have change my mood. Feel excited to go back and I was off for 4 days without work.
But today I go an email from that I need to complete a task which I have done earlier, a task that need to be repeatedly done for so many time due to the reason the management doesn't have a direction on what they want or where they try to get for the project. I am so frustrated and tired as chances are that all the work that I have done may gone down the drain as they may just not going to proceed. This is why I am so mad, why are you wasting people time and effort when do not know what you want? and the worst part is this is actually the left over task that my senior suppose to do. The task is on his plate and the credit belongs to him.
I thought I could have last another year here but it seems getting harder each day yet life is like crap here and now adding this unnecessary issue that I need to handle. I am just so so tired and just wish to go HOME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Airline Cabin / Hand Carry Baggage
I have been searching for a practical size luggage that is allow me to hand carry into the airplane. Even some airline are not that strict as I have seen people carry 2 bag on the airplane but this is definitely not allowed on budget airline.
Well some people may say I am kiasu well maybe I am but I just want to have everything in a hand carry bag, my clothes and laptop so that I won't have to wait for the luggage when arrive and also it help to save some cost when travel via budget airline. Although, you may want to maximize the allowed cabin space but don't forget the bigger the bag you have the more weight you bag will be and it wont make sense as you are allow to have 7KG (or 1 or 2 KG more) but that also means you have to carry this 7KG behind your back.
So here is just some summary of allowed baggage size on the plane by some airline that I think I be using and maybe it will helps you too. I will pluck this info for economy flight only after all I don't have the luxury to travel in 1st class or business class and measurement is calculate when you back is standing up. Oh yeah, might as well add a little info for checked bag.
MAS
1 cabin bag
Weight - 5KG
Size - 56cm(H) X 36cm(L) X 23cm(W or D) OR 22"(H) X 14"(L) X 9"(W or D)
Check Bag - 20KG (total 1 bag) * MAS are bit flexible for domestic flight.
AirAsia
1 laptop bag (assume this is FOC)
1 cabin bag
Weight - 7KG
Size - 56cm(H) X 36cm(L) X 23cm(W or D) OR 22"(H) X 14"(L) X 9"(W or D)
Check Bag - Optional (Check website when purchase ticket)
Tiger Airways
1 cabin bag
Weight - 7KG
Size - 54cm(H) X 38cm(L) X 23cm(W or D)
Check Bag - Optional (Check website when purchase ticket)
Emirates
1 laptop bag (maybe)
1 cabin bag
Weight - 7KG
Size - 55cm(H) X 38cm(L) X 20cm(W or D) OR 22"(H) X 15"(L) X 8"(W or D)
Check Bag - 30KG (total 2 bag)
Gulf Air
1 cabin bag
Weight - 6KG
Size - 45cm(H) X 40cm(L) X 30cm(W or D) OR 17"(H) X 15"(L) X 12"(W or D)
Checked Bag - 30KG (total 2 bag)
Qatar Airways
1 laptop bag (Maybe as I have seen it)
1 cabin bag
Weight - 7KG

Check Bag - 23KG (total 2 bag)
Etihad
1 cabin bag
Weight - 7KG
Size - 60cm (H) X 35cm(L) X 20cm(W or D)
Checked Bag - 23KG (total 2 or 3 bags) only 23KG so what the point having more than 2?
Pretty much most airline have about the same size and weight since most of them using the same airplane. This info may change from time to time by individual airline and I am not responsible to update the information. Use at your own RISK!
There are new airplane like the from Airbus and Boeing so I guess maybe the size may change?

2012 economy
A lot of predicted economy would not be good next year, well I think heard of this prediction since 2007. I think it is true just that the impact are slowly sipping into our life. Maybe because we don't own a business and as en employee we feel there isn't much impact especially when you are working in a big and stable organization.
I own a business, family business and from this point of view I can tell you that economy really bad. Although the sales are still there but it is merely enough to cover the expenses. I am really fortunate that I am currently working at the world richest and most stable company. As much as I wanted to go home all the time due to the difficulty I am facing but it seems for an employee to find a new job back in Malaysia is not as easy as counting 1,2 and 3.
The world are facing an economy meltdown with US starting in the league and Europe trailing behind and there are prediction that this will spread further to Asia especially China next year. So my target now is probably stick to where I am now and using the money that I earn here to reinvest in other area until I find a better prospect at Malaysia or around APAC region.
In the end, I couldn't expect much just hoping I keep doing what I do and most important is myself and my family are safe and always healthy.
It is like 3 more weeks to 2012, I would like to wish anyone who read my blog to have a prosperous 2012 and with best of health.
Take care.

My Name Is Khan
Was watching My Name Is Khan yesterday and I found it is good. It is partial English and more Hindi language movie. It is not the typical Bollywood movie where you will see outrages fighting scene.. and couple singing and rolling down the hill.
Basically it is a story on how Muslim in U.S life were change after the 9/11 attack. Even I don't really get the total story as most of the time it is in Hindi but I still able to grasp the story that it is trying to show.
It is AWESOME, good acting and good storyline.
