Good Morning and Happy Sunday



Above is a Happy Sunday greeting taken from my Instagram. Tomorrow, I got MDEC zoom at 8:00am till 12:00noon, approximately. Last night, attended another Zoom on Atomy and this week is pretty tight. Furthermore, I have the online self-learning course by Coursera, sponsored by MDEC till end December. Today, went back home for a while to bring some food back for mum and sis. They were watching the Wesley Methodist Church online session together on zoom. If anyone wants to earn some money from clicking Likes on TikTok, etc. just call or text me at 01116694988. I have hired 2 gals to work for me; they are my virtual assistants.

Below is another Instagram picture on Good Morning for your eye candy.



Hope you like the red orchids as much as I do. Ok, stay safe and stay at home in this pandemic.

Above is a short TikTok movie done by a dear friend Mr. Lim BH for me with my pet Pomeranian. Isn't funny and exciting? I might just take my own sweet time to explore Tiktok, a China company, to create 60 seconds video at the most. Most of them are so funny.

Working at Home has Its Benefits

I have been working at home since February 2004. It certainly has its many benefits, especially in this Covid-19 pandemic. Now the Controled Movement Order will be implemented again due to the surge of Covid-19 cases almost all over Malaysia, including Penang. I try to stay at home as much as possible and only go out if necessary like dining at hawker centers. I guess I am still blessed, that I am able to still generate a little allowance here and there doing surveys, microjobs, and such.

It was shared in the Whatsapp group that someone committed suicide by driving his car into his workplace for being laid off after working there for 7 long years. This is tragic and should not have happened. May God bless his departed soul.

Now I have 2-3 opportunities to make money from home which is free to start and if you are interested, just call or Whatsapp me at 0111-6694988. This is only for Malaysians. Jobs are scarce now and more are getting the golden handshake or rather being laid off. My income is also affected, even though I am still being employed, because projects are less now and owners are finding excuses to make the last payment, as usual!

Below is a nice Good Morning on a Saturday instagram picture taken from my account.



Finally, stay safe and stay at home. Always wear a mask when you are outside.

Completed a Course in Web Development on Client Side Today



This morning, I completed a Web Development Course by Coursera, that was sponsored by MDEC for the jobless or unemployed graduates in IT. I took about 2-3 hours to complete the assignment for the final project before submission. There were 6 modules of several videos to follow. Each module is supposed to take 1 week to complete.

Below are my grades for the total quiz and assignments.





So, my overall score was 91%. Here, I learnt the basics to HTML5, CSS and Javascript. I will next proceed to Facebook Marketing and then Full Stack Development if time permits, as I have until end of the year to learnt up the many courses available on Coursera. The web development was taught by a software engineer and a Computer Science professor of University of California. The good thing about this is that I can learn at my own pace and convenience. Applied knowledge is power.



Above is a lovely picture from my Instagram of a painting by David Hockney. It was Whatsapp to me by my second sister who is lecturing English in a UK University together with her hubby. Both of them have doctorates, Ph.D. in their respective fields. That's it for this blog post. Stay safe and stay at home.

Sponsored Course by GLOW Penjana, MDEC

Our Malaysian government encourages continuous IT learning. MDEC stands for Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation. Starting from last Saturday till Monday yesterday, I attended a 3 full-day course by Global Online Workforce (GLOW PENJANA) from 9am - 5:30pm, with short breaks in between. I have learnt to make a logo and bid on Freelancer.com where I was given 100 free bids to work on.

Here is the link that I can share from Coursera on Javascript programming at https://coursera.org/share/e662a9625f4f963d379eaed897366824. This is one of the many courses that you can choose from and it is sponsored till the end of the year, starting from May, during the Covid-19 initial outbreak.

I hope to go into Full Stack Development later after this course and also on Facebook Marketing. There will be certificate given for each completed course that you can show to your potential clients. So, this will increase your credibility and applied knowledge creates wealth.

Finally, I would like to share the "Good Morning" Instagram photo from my account as seen below:



Stay safe in this pandemic and pray always for protection and safety.

On Site Visit and Traveling back to Penang via the Second Bridge

I followed my business partner to Butterworth recently for an on-site visit and thereafter, we went back via Penang second bridge. This bridge is much longer and more curvy compared to the first one that was straight with more views of the seas. We also passed by several MNCs or factories in Bayan Lepas, the Silicon Valley of Penang. It is an area that has many factories which manufactures high tech gadgets, semi-conductors, silicon chip, and more. Examples are Plexus, Intel, Agilent, and such.

I am also a little tired from all the online work at home using my laptop and smartphone. This morning, I am feeling a little groggy, even though I slept early last night, and forgot to bathe since I overslept. Anyway, in this Covid-19 pandemic, it is better to live one day at a time and count our blessings of being alive with God's grace.

In the USA, more than 220,000 Americans have passed on due to Covid-19. I hope and pray that this situation will be controlled. I had also watched a video of how people are leaving New York City in droves due to money being channeled to other departments and no longer to the NY police department and rubbish removal department. This is simply absurd. Prisoners are freed and rubbish uncollected due to no income from the Federal Government.

On a positive note, see my "Good Morning" Instagram picture below:



See how pretty the graphics are in the aforementioned picture. I take pride in uploaded lovely pictures from my Instagram account. This is certainly uplifting and encouraging to view, instead of watch negative news of the world on Astro tv.

Lunch at Sakae Sushi, 1st Avenue and an Auspicious Saturday on 10.10.2020 Date Today

We had lunch at Sakae Sushi a few days ago in 1st Avenue Mall, Penang. Previously there were 4-6 cooks or chefs busy preparing food before the pandemic. Now it is reduced to just 2 cooks/ chefs and just 1 waiter. Apparently the previous staffs were all retrenched and Sakae Sushi hired new people at a lower rate. So, in total, there were just a mere 3 staffs manning the restaurant.

I also called up my real estate agent who sold me my KL unit at the highest price of $293k before GST was implement to soften the property sector, as the prices were skyrocketing. Now it is worth a mere $260k at market rate, and you will be lucky if you can sell it at this period of Covid-19, where thousands were displaced from their jobs and unemployment abounds. People will come view the property, but won't buy, according to my real estate agent. They will give valid reasons of lost of jobs or increase of Covid-19, hence, it is better to rent than buy.

Below is a nice banner taken from my account that I uploaded to show an auspicious date of 10102020 which will never come again.



Don't you find the above banner rather interesting? It is very attractively done against a black background with colors that stand out. Hence, this post during this auspicious date here of 10.10.2020 before the day - Saturday - is over in a couple of hours time at EST time here in Malaysia.

Here is another banner from my Instagram too and see the inspiring wordings.



The words are very meaningful in the banner above, especially in this pandemic of coronavirus, where so many people are confused, jobless and stressed out. I wish you all well and take care. Stay safe at home and don't go out if necessary.
