2nd holiday in malaysia

i seldom give myself a holiday as striving hard towards my goals constantly is part of my life. Too much holidays will disrupt my planning and demotivate me but not this time when i had my holiday in Malaysia once a year. There were a few unfortunate moments in my holiday as always, misfortunes dominated my life. However, as always too, i was lucky enough to receive people's helps every time. In fact, i feel so grateful and bersyukur where since my days in primary education til life in Tokyo, my path in life was not exactly because i worked hard or chosen by me, but was the results of people's helps. I remember everything that i received. 

Working as a "junior engineer" in Tokyo again, teaching me to be humble, low profile and be patient in life. I couldn't say that i really love my jobs but i'm learning to be patient. There maybe some moments in the next few years that i need to be not in patient anymore, by that time i guess i'll need people's helps again and i know exactly whose helps i will ask for. =)

Again, in my holiday in Malaysia, i was travelling around the country with my old car that i drove in University. it broke down as it should have a few years ago, where i was once again, getting helps from people. This time it was a technician in Perodua service center near my university, MU. To facilitate my "balik kampung" schedule, the technician helped me to overhaul the engine and the surrounding items til midnight in one particular day without overtime paid. We completely didn't know each other, we are from different races, yet i feel we are Malaysians. At the same time, i was lucky enough to receive helps from friends and even my Professor in university, for getting me to the places i wanna go during my no-car-days. There is a bond in Malaysia where we not only know English, but we know each other's language. There might be dirty politics from all parties on the way to try to manipulate everything, but we are moving forward, a bit by a bit. It's about helping each other in life and i really hope what i learned oversea will one day contribute back a tiny bit to my country as an engineer or educator. Hence, staying focus and self-motivated have been an important part of my life. Same goes to everyone i believe. 

Energy

As pointed out by "The dark knight rises", the key to the future clean energy is the development of a stable nuclear fusion technology. As pointed out by Watanabe Ken in the advertisement of Suzuki, the keyword of future in engineering is "energy". As pointed out by some corporations, the key to the future of energy is harvesting the sun's energy from space. As pointed out by some scientists, the key to the future of mankind is the inter-planet civilizations. As pointed out by CERN, the key to understanding the creation of the world, is the discovery of the God Particle. No matter what it is, i really hope that my country can be parts of the teams in the future. It can, if in future, Malaysians living oversea return to Malaysia.
