Starting up an old plant

Starting an old plant is fun. Dangerous but fun. Exhausting but fun. Always running after deadlines but fun.

I've heard 2 stories about urgency so far.

1) Previous boss had to put a mechanical seal in the taxi from KL to Kuantan on a Saturday.
2) Another boss had to drive from the rural to the town in Sabah to get a pump on a Sunday.

My turn:
1) I have to take a 20kg motor with me on the bus on a Friday night to Kuantan.

Rest and behold, i have now my own story to tell.

Then I have safety stories:

1) Contractor saw a guy got killed from a site glass when tightening during air test
2) Boss saw a guy got blind on one eye when acid splash happened.

My turn:
1) my vision was blurred for half a day after minimal acid HCL 33% got in and thank god I had PPE on and flushed quick enough.

Sabah and Ideas

After a first CNY celebration in Malaysia in 4 years, I am off to Sahabat, LAhad Datu for my first placement in the FVOP refinery. It was an eye opener al-together. I spent the weekend at Audrey's for CNY before heading off on Monday to officially embark on my first duty. First stop, the airport - it is as small as an LRT station in KL. Simple, no conveyor belts for luggage, just a simple raised platform for luggage. Small waiting area and 2 scanning system, that's all. All the more efficient and tiny, but it costs RM 186 a single way from KK to Lahad Datu, that's extortion. My boss - Mr Abdul Ali was very welcoming where he drove his 4WD to pick me up and treat me to a wonderful Chinese meal with his wife and colleague. YES, Chinese Meal in a Chinese restaurant. So here we are, in a smaller town compared to the big cities, and there is so little racism that a Malay can eat openly in a Chinese restaurant and calls it the best restaurant in town. Mind you, even police offic...

Generic Investment Post

There are multiple ways of investment and managing your fund. I am no fund expert nor am I trained on any certified level. The levers I know are as following: 1) Real estate - rental income 2) Stocks & ETFs - company, industry dependent 3) Bitcoin - future potential of a decentralized currency To dive deeper - Real estate  You don't have real rental income until you actually own one, and rent one out. Essentially, you need to have 2 properties to start this. Staying in one then selling it for another better place is not passive income. In prime location and prime cities, it is no longer easy to find rents that will match, let alone exceed your mortgage payments. That said, unless you have a high downpayment (20-30%), paying some to top off your rental income is highly possible. Stocks & ETFs Fortunately and unfortunately, this is the most volatile time but also the most exciting time. There is a lot to gain, and also a lot to lose. I've lost the most he...
