Hang around with young people
I love to be young forever. I know that you all want to be forever young too. So, one thing to do that is to hang around with young people. I have a very good friend. Her name is Latda.
She is very good to me. She listens to every of my complains on the world issues and my life problems. She's quite mature for her age. She's supportive and kind. She is a very good friend of my younger sister.
Latda graduated IT from ANU - Australian National University, Canberra, Australia. She's been living there for ages. Now she's Program/System Analyst of an IT company in Canberra.
Dream Team
Well, if yesterday I had not seen a very good friend from university on MSN Messenger, I would not write up this post. I have not contacted him for ages. Well, I have not seen him online, so I thought that he was busy. Anyway, his name is Kim (on the left in the picture below). Kim and I were Dream Team at university and we still are. Well, we did few subjects together and we were laboratory partners for Reliability Engineering & Control System. We called ourself, the Dream Team because no engineering problems for those subjects could not be solved by us, The Dream Team. In solving problems, we came up with many methods. He made me feel how good it is to have a good team work. Kim is very smart. If not, he would not graduate Double degree, BE(1st class honor) & B.Commerce. Kim is a power engineer of a leading company in energy and infrastructure solutions in Australia. I am lucky to know him.
The man on the right is Tse Yau or 541. He is also a very good friend at university. He is a smart student. He can read very fast and remember stuff for only one time reading. Now he's back to Labuan Island, Malaysia (near Brunei). I think that now he's taking care of his family business there.
I miss my uni friends a lot and I hope one day we will have a chance to have a reunion in either Malaysia or Australia.
BUDDY Ltd
Well, It's been a long time that i have not updated my blog. I am quite busy because i'm back to work in Sepon Gold/Copper mine. Obviously, I don't want to spend too much time on internet due to the company internet use policy. So now it's after office hours. I think it's better to spend sometime to update my blog.
I would like to tell the world that BUDDY is a group of my good friends from Vientiane High School, in Vientiane Capital, Laos. We are still active even though some of us are in overseas. We will try to catch up weekly. Every time we meet, we love to make noise and every one loves to talk and gossip. A lot of times we can talk about more than 2 things at the same time. Everywhere I go, I cannot forget these people.
