what unites all malaysians....football
this picture says it all..black white chinese, indian, malai, campur2..although it was very painful to play at the ripe age of 41++..we managed to finish a 90 min game(substitutes galore) and looking forward to another game in 2011..not so soon i hope..
Well ..since it was a school alumni this motley crew was already united since 25 years ago but i guess the point that i want to make here this game can really makes everyone from the most diverse backgrounds come together and play as a team..example below
this was a makeshift team we put up and respectably turned up a decent result. i was new at the Labuan base, knew only a few guys..but we still gelled together and had a good time..it also helped me and some of the new staff to work together as a team...
It is always difficult to organise a footer game what with getting enough players, proper kit, pitch and money etc but i have been always been doing it and supporting such efforts where i can since the indirect rewards are plentiful...
Similar with organising company/family events ...the headache/heartche and arguments will tire you and definitely wont get you rich but everyone will definitely respect you for your positive efforts..

why LiLLL?
What on earth is Lessons in Learning Lessons Learnt(LiLLL) you may ask?...well i have been thinking about writing down a book or memoirs for the past 10 years...and about for the past 5 years already trimmed down to several topics on either travel(domestic,international), work(mostly oil and gas) ,politics(local and globally) sports(.golf mostly..) and maybe marriage/relationships...then it struck me all this had a common theme..the experiences had enriched me n i wanted to share from my trials and tribulations...
Thats a photo of a class i attended some years back, well bore dynamics...very technical yet if you cannot visualise tubular(oilfield terminology for piping downhole)movement no matter how good you are at mathemathics you wont cut it in this class..at least to get 94% (like me.. hehe)...
The point is..we go thru life and experience ups and downs and learn from this episodes from the perception we had at that time...what i want to do is record what happened and give my views on what i learned with a different perspective...
Anyway how i look at certain things might not go down well with most people but until you have taken the red pill(Matrix scene) its kind of hard to have my dark sense of humour...
My only wish is that anyone reading my blog with an open mind will develop a critical thinking state of mind, does not accept status quo and along the way gets entertatined with my wit..
I do dedicate this blog especially to young people in the technical field who are critical in this young nations growth..with critical thinking we will be able to learn properly (i believe the current education system is sick) and hopefuly will avoid another incident as below...
