East Timor Training Trip (Part 3)

17 June 2007

Day 1 in East Timor

Finally, we reach our destination, East Timor. The time here is 1 hour faster than us. Which means if Malaysia time is 11.10am, at East Timor will be 12.10am. First, we need to meet our person in charge of the workshop/ training this time, he’s name is Ray. He is the IT officer of Timor Leste Media Development Centre (TLMDC). He will also become our translator during the 5 days training.

The city we reach at East Timor is calling Dili. Dili is a small city and you can see a lot of United National (UN) cars and people there. Ray brings us to visit few of their famous places like their sea which very clean and beautiful, mountain to view the whole Dili city, wet market and some of their famous buildings.

After that, we are having our lunch at a Indian’s restaurant. After the lunch, we go to our hotel to drop our luggage first, and then we walk to our training centre which is Ray office to have a look.



Our hotel at East Timor. Our training centre is very near to our hotel, it only needs to walk within 100 feet’s to reach there. Their office is around 55 x 50 square feet’s. Our training place is at the back of the building which just builds up for the training purpose. There are 15 participants take part in this training. All of them are guys and between 20 – 40 years old. This training section include how to install and use the Internet Gateway, File Server Storage, LINUX / UNIX and web server, ftp, mal server and etc.

Although is the first day of us to reach here, we are start our work with preparing all the material for tomorrow training. We did all the preparation before we rest for today.

For additional information, there is one thing that takes my attention which is their internet speed and prices. Their internet was 128 kbps but the price is amazing. How much you guess their internet costing? There is 600 USD which equal to RM2100. Wooooooo…….. That is really expensive and is amazing. In Malaysia, the house use internet speed is already 512kbps to 1Mbps and it only cost us RM77 - RM99. This is the first time I feel the Malaysia internet speed is reasonable if compare to here.

17 June 2007

HI Bali, my first day of training trip is reaching Bali first instead of East Timor. We will need to stay one night at Bali and taking the flight on the next day to East Timor. We do like this because this is the cheapest way to go East Timor.

Bali is full of tourists and the food was delicious. After we booking our hotel and took our bath, is time for us to search for our dinner place. We walk for a 10 minutes time to reach our food destination. We are ordered special fried rice with seafood, pork steak, omelet egg, mix satay, coconut and a fresh pineapple juice.

The food was nice and the satay is something which special for us. Their satay are put on a small oven and it looks special. But the disappointed thing was the satay is not really nice. Hm.........

After the dinner, we went back to our hotel directly because we still need to prepare the thing for our presentation next 2 days.

Ko... Ko... Ko... breakfast is came and the taxi will arrive is next 10 minutes. Need to wake up and prepare for our next flight to East Timor. The flight is 10:05am and need to take 1 hour to reach there. OK, see you at East Timor.

Put the glass down

When you leave office today.

Study this small story, hope that makes a big change in you.

Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.

He held it up for all to see & asked the students

"How much do you think this glass weighs?"

'50gms!' ..... '100gms!'.....'125gms'
... the students answered

"i really don't know unless i weigh it," said the professor, "but, my question is:
What would happen if i held it up like this for a few minutes?"

'Nothing' ............ the students said.

' Ok what would happen if i held it up like this for an hour?' the professor asked.

'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the student.

"You're right, now what would happen if i held it for a day?"

"Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis & have to go to hospital for sure!"

...... ventured another student & all the students laughed

Very good.

But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?"

asked the professor.

'No' .... Was the answer.

"Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?"

The students were puzzled.

"What should i do now to come out of pain?" asked professor again.

"Put the glass down!" said one of the students.

"Exactly!" said the professor.

Life's problems are something like this.

Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK.

Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache.

Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything.

It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life, but even more important is to 'put them down' at the end of every day before you go to sleep.

That way, you are not stressed, you wake up everyday fresh & strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!

So, when you leave office today, Remember friend to

'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!'
