eFiiNity’s Binary Nation

i’m not sure when was the starting point for her ( my wife ) to start her new hobby, collecting fridge magnets ( FM ).
..maybe before i married her.
..maybe after i bought the Panasonic fridge giving her space to place the fridge magnets.
..maybe its been a long time ago..
all i know, she’s trying really hard to penuhkan outside the fridge than the inside ( barang dapur )

her collection started off from our Bali Honeymoon, when she bought some FM there &
rasmikan the fridge with the Bali slippers.
actually i did the perasmian..
gud for me..!!
well, now, her collection varies from overseas FM & local FM where she ask her frens & family to buy anytime they could.
Stockholm, Brunei, Langkawi, Bali, Tallinn, London, Sweden. you name it..
the fridge is half full wif her FMs…
her target : penuhkan the fridge wif FMs!!
hopefully i can still recognize the fridge once its full wif FMs..!!

.intro.

dis would be my 2nd entry after my biz trip to Japan way back in May 2008.
hehe.. so, dat means i’ve been away more than 2 months.
yup, its nearly the end of June. couple of weeks to my BIG day.
lets talk about dat later.

a few weeks after coming back from Japan, i’ve been really busy.
busy with the Single PPM Project.
there was no 5.30pm in my schedule.
i only went back home after 8.00pm.
penat..!! exhausted..!! tired..!!
now, i’ve got the hang of it.

talking about my BIG day, its coming in no time.
preps are still being made.
kad kahwin, baju pengantin, wedding favours n all.
for the time being, i’m trying to complete everything on time.
wish me luck ek..!!

dats all for now.
i’ll continue if i’ve got time.
cherio..

negaraku, tanah tumpahnya darahku,
rakyat hidup, bersatu & maju,

its been a week since my arrival back to malaysia.
dah keje since five days ago.
mmg high expectations la. especially biler top management dah bagi peluang to go to Japan.
so, of course biler me dah balik, they expect something in return.
finished some documents plus presentation material.
many items went well. some didn’t.
most of the not-so-good things came from Sony.
its kinda sensitive, so, i rather not to talk about it.

hehehe.. forgot to cerita..
alhamdulillah.. mungkin rezeki nak kahwin agaknya..
me naik pangkat lagi!!!
one more step to Assistant Manager.
i’m still a Senior Engineer, but different job grades.
if before me E2 grade, now i’m an E1 grade.
syukur.. worth the effort plus keje balik lambat malam..
hehehe.. building up a career in Sony..

esok ada kursus kahwin lak..
the guys in Sony lak are organizing a PaintBall tournament.
esok jugak.. i had to lepaskan la..
kursus kahwin lagi penting..
but still, Harvin & Vinoth is pushing me to join.
sorry, guys.. no can do..
next time la aaa..

i’m tell more about the journey back from Japan..
some things came up.. hehehe..
nanti la ye..
nak rehat jap..

.end.

it’s a Sony..!! previous Sony slogan.
now, its like.no.other
i’m already working at Sony for 4 years plus.
quite an experience working with Japs.
they’re very hardworking, if you read in books or any articles.
its been my dream to work with them.
hmm.. even though its better working with the Malaysian government.

the morale of the story here : use Sony camera if you’re training in Sony Tec plant.
hehehe..
latest regulation trainees at Sony Tec plant.
my previous experience was during my visit to Ichinomiya Tec in Japan.
i was bringing my Konica Minolta Z5 camera at that time.
before entry, i was asked to store my camera.
you know why? becoz it’s not a SONY..!!
i tried to explained even though KM is already bought by Sony with a new brand..
Sony Alpha..!!
this time, its Iqbal’s turn..!! he brought his Canon & kena sound on Day 1.
hehehe..

so, buy a Sony..!!

the weekends are here & its jalan time again..!!
after a quick cycle from our apartment to Konomiya station,
we took the rapid express to Nagoya-shi..
hehehe.. Sony lent us bicycles for us to cycle around the kampung area ( Inazawa )
one thing, is to get exercise & no need to spend to much money taxi.
besides taxi is kinda expensive here in Japan.

soon after we arrived Nagoya, we gerak to Osu Kannon.
a place similiar like Akihabara in Tokyo.
this places sells lots of electronic stuff from digital cameras to PSPs.
other than that, there’s also refurbished PCs & laptops.
me nyaris2 nak beli VAIO 2nd hand dulu but x jadik becoz it had Japanese
kanji on the keyboard. kinda of like the japanese alphabet..

bought some soveniors for org malaysia..
and had a long walk around sakae.
Oasis21 is located here.
a huge bus station with famous shopping complexes & boutiques.
Prada, Loius Voittun, Coach & many more.

jalan punyer jalan, we ended up at Osu Kannon again!!
and guess what, Saidi bought a new Japan Limited G-Shock watch.
really nice..!! kawai des..

last stop was a turkish restaurant for us to eat after a long journey.
no food since morning.
makan Mixed Kebab & mmg banyak..
dah kenyang, we headed home.

really had fun & exhausted.
dunno when is the next time for us to come again.
Nagoya…!! for more pictures, visit my fotopages.

today’s saturday. rest day for me, Iqbal & Saidi.
after a whole week of training, we need our time off which is today..!!
the original plan was to berjalan2 sendiri at Nagoya.
but, naito-san ( our trainer ) insisted to guide us thru the tour.
he said, during my last stay, he couldn’t bring me, Azizi & Wazir jalan2 becoz of production business.

now, sony @ low season, so it’s a bit easier for him.
fyi, he’s one of the SMT world wide support member.
he did invited me to his group but i had to declined.
reason? i had to stay in Japan & travel to support other tecs.
Sony Shanghai, Sony Slovakia, Sony Mexico, Sony Thailand.
most probably, have to stay a each tec for a couple of months or even years!!
being away from my baby is not an option for me…

early as 9.30am, naito-san already reached our apartment with his Estima Hybrid.
we need to send Zhu-san first ( Sony Shanghai Manager ) to Konomiya station.
he arrived the same day as us but his training only covered one week.
so, he’s off early than us.
after sending Zhu-san, we headed off directly to Nagoya Castle.
despite of weekends, there are traffic jams in Japan.
luckily, naito-san uses high technology with his GPS cum Traffic Information Provider.
we managed to run from the traffic & cut a few minutes.
hehehe.. some items i like about Japan..!!

Nagoya Castle, located in the center of Nagoya-shi ( Nagoya City ).
it was built in the beginning of the Edo Period for one of the three Tokugawa family branches, the Owari. Consequently, Nagoya developed into an important castle town and ultimately Japan’s fourth largest city.
the castle was almost completely destroyed in the air raids of 1945.
the current ferro-concrete reconstruction dates from 1959.
the interior of the castle is now a modern museum displaying the castle’s history. The castle park becomes a popular hanami spot during the cherry blossom season.
history finished for today.

 

after that, we rushed to Toyota Automobile Museum in Toyota City.
the museum displayed a number of cars from the early days to the latest one.
however, this museum actually dedicates to Toyota car production development.
there’s another museum that goes thru history about the Toyota company itself.
did you k now that Toyota produces textile & sewing machines before?
hmmm.. maybe you don’t.. me too..!!

next stop was Kakamigahara Aerospace Museum, a Mitsubishi-based museum for aircraft development.
from the light weight aircrafts, STOL ( Short Take Off & Landing ) to aerospace technology.
most of the exhibits are originally made & even designed in Japan..!!

we completed the tour around 4.00pm as naito-san is a bit tired.
we even didn’t had any food the whole day during outside la..
we did had breakfast..

after that, we only had our rest at apartment.
me & Iqbal wanted to keluar to Yamada Denki, but it was raining
so, we only stayed indoors je la.
sok, we going out again.
Nagoya-shi, but on our own..!! hopefully x sesat la..
