Failure story

We often heard about success stories of someone else; someone who has succeeded of course. Then we also heard successful person went through some rough paths or difficulties. Often time we don't comprehend why failure occurs albeit with all the necessary preparation done. Like God of Job, He won't tell us why is this happening. But in long run there is goodness, which we may not see it now.

My second attempt on a scholarship for post-graduate study didn't end up well. The first time I didn't fill up the form properly. This time I got through until the interview stage. Unfortunately it's a no.
Talking about failure story, a friend of mine who attended an airline interview months ago, all the way in Singapore, ended up with the same fate. Again, God of Job won't oblige to give explanation.


SY gave a hint: Look at Israelite. God provided manna but they have to go out to get it. They need to work.

So it's not too bad actually. Probably God of Job is doing something.

Day 2: A visit to some of The Tokyo Toilet project

On the second day of my trip, I decided to visit some of the public toilets under The Tokyo Toilet project. The idea was inspired by the film  Perfect Days . Since the public toilets under this project are scattered around western side of Tokyo, I visited a few in Shibuya area, which are quite close to each other. One notable location is Yoyogi Park.  One of the highlights of these designer toilets is the transparent toilet. Its transparent glass walls will turn opaque when the door is locked. This feature is based on the electrochromic effect. However, this feature is unavailable during late autumn and winter, which coincided my visit. The key takeaway from this visit: an eye opening experience about toilet culture and social inclusivity.

Trip 01-06: Day 8-9 (The end)

Day 8-9 (13-14 May) We proceed to Thailand in the morning. The immigration process was the easiest. We crossed the river by boat and reached Chiang Khong (the border town of Thailand). Then a mini van to Chiang Mai. Arrived in Chiang Mai about 4pm. Looked for a cheap room and then had an excursion around the town. The next day we will depart and back to M'sia. It has been a pleasant trip for the whole week. Laos is a beautiful and peaceful country with abundant of unspoiled forest and mountains. Now we have to get back to our real life. End of the trip.
