Harga minyak kat U.S

Fikir-fikirkan... kenapa Harga minyak kat Malaysia lagi mahal daripada harga kat U.S?

Malaysia = RM1.92/ litre
U.S = RM 1.85/ litre
Calculation untuk harga minyak kat U.S...

Kalau nak dikira, kita x boleh nak convert direct mcm tu. So sebenarnya harga minyak kat U.S bagi penduduk mereka ni terlampau murah kalau nak compare ngan kat M'sia sebab dia org bayar lebih kurang USD 0.53 je per litre (currency dia org la). Kat Malaysia, ngan currency RM, kita bayar RM1.92 per litre. Tak ke jauh beza tu?

Cerita di U.S

Sekarang dah tinggal lebih kurang 1 minggu je lagi sebelum aku menjejakkan kaki balik ke Malaysia. Tak sabar betul nak balik. Rasa lama benar dah duk sini, ye la dah dekat sebulan kat sini, memang lama pun.

Duk kat U.S ni banyak jugak perbezaan yang selalu kita biasanya pakai atau dengar. Antaranya macam unit ukuran/ sukatan yang kita pakai. Ye la Malaysia pakai metric unit, US nih pakai imperical unit. Contohnya kalau weather news kat sini, aku selalu nak kena convert dr fahrenheit ke celsius. Banyak lagi..... miles to Kilometer, timbang berat pakai pound instead of Kilogram, kalau order "take away" tu dia panggil "carryout", "lift" panggil "elavator" dan aku rasa banyak lagi la.


Hmmm balik M'sia ni banyak jugak kerja2 yang perlu di"settle"kan macam:-

1. Renew insurance & road tax kereta --> expired on 27 Feb
2. Baca surat yang MISC hantar kat rumah --> kena reply nih
3. Service kereta --> due for service dah ni
4. Pergi KWSP
5. Banyak lagi la...

Last weekend time aku balik dari Bahamas tuh mula2 plan ngan my colleague nak pergi downtown, tapi cancel. Pergi mall dekat2 ngan hotel ni je.. "The Woodlands Mall". Ok la jugak mall dia nih, besar jugak tapi 2 floor je. Tapi kat luar mall tuh ada tasik dan kalau berminat nak naik bot boleh la sebab ada tasik... aku x naik pun. Sebelum pergi Mall tu, singgah kejap kedai gadget/ computer kat sini... "BEST BUY". Ada kawan kat MISC kirim suruh beli speed trap detector. Ok la jugak price dia tuh, mmg berbaloi kalau selalu kena saman hehehe. Harap2 it will work well. According to spec, memang boleh detect laser dan range of detection is about 1 mile.. ok la tu kot. Ushar jugak laptop yang si Fame tanya, tapi kat kedai ni x banyak la plak brand tu. Model yang nak cari tu plak takde.

Hujung minggu ni last weekend aku kat sini. So far takde plan lagi nak gi mana2. Kali ni pun aku follow je la kawan aku dari German tu :-) On the way pergi Galvestone island hari tu, ada jugak snap gambar bandar Houston kat sini.

Return from Nassau, Bahamas

I have returned from Nassau, Bahamas island on last Friday. Hmm I've spent 5 days there. Of course I did not spend any hours at beach :-) Most of the time I was in the client office 8-6 ..busy all the times.

The view of beaches, island in Bahamas is very beautiful... but if you plan to buy something there, forget about that. Everything was too expensive and their currency (Bahamas Dollar) is just equal to USD.

We have a very good dinner with client on Thursday night at Italian restaurant in Marina village here. Very beautiful small island where you can see a lot of cruises alongside the jetty. I just surprised with the total cost of dinner.... it was USD750 for 8 person :-)

I have captured some photos in Bahamas for those interested to view and plan to visit Bahamas. More photos are available at my Flickr! photos.
