Posted: 30th January 2014 by Jacky Yong in Silly me

Yeap, it’s now been three years and two days since I joined Maybank. That makes it the longest duration in a company that I have ever worked for in my entire life, isn’t that amazing? Does that tell you something? Hmmmm….

Picture this scenario. You are teaching your 3-year-old about everyday objects. You use a flashcards, or iPad in these times of age. You show them a picture of a cat, a dog. They can relate what they are, because they have seen them. Then pictures of cars, buses, yes they know. You play sounds of […]

I’ve come clean!

Posted: 6th April 2013 by Jacky Yong in Computers, Silly me

I have a confession to make. I have been using pirated softwares for the longest time. But it’s not the right thing to do. So now I have decided that it is time to come clean. I will now purchase softwares that I find useful to me. This is only the right thing to do, […]

Mount Kinabalu – We did it!

Posted: 31st March 2013 by Jacky Yong in Silly me

Mount Kinabalu is one of the toughest mountains to scale, I am not going to deny that. It involves a lot of preparations, both physically and mentally. I know, because 7 years ago, I attempted to scale this very mountain. I still remember because that was when Kit Yan was just 3 months old. And I failed […]

Fuji X-E1 – a short intro

*Sigh* ….. I am now an old fart. If I lived up to 70 years old, I am now already in my wid-way point. This qualifies me to be categorized as middle-aged. That means that I am no longer a young adult. And my health insurance premium just got higher. Thus are the “perks” that […]

Why do I feel that I lost something very important today?

Posted: 27th September 2011 by Jacky Yong in Silly me

It feels strange, one minute I feel that I am complete, and the next moment, I feel that I am living a completely fake life. Like something, or someone, is missing. A big chunk of me, gone, just like that. Can something as feeble as a human being do that? They are after all, “just […]

Keeping themselves busy…..

A great sense of closure

I know I shouldn’t be feeling this, but this is exactly how I felt like when I killed that dog! Yes a deep sense of closure, an inner peace, on top of the scream of the owner of the dog and my wife sitting behind me. I must sound like a sick sadistic dog killer […]
