Study logistic/supply chain management

Since I have worked with 3PL (third party logistic) company for 5months already, I would like to tell other people who is thinking about working with this type of company.

3PL Company like DHL operates warehouses, transportation for companies. It's just one chain in the whole supply chain.

I got master degree in logistics and I realized that what I learnt was not really related to 3PL works. The work nature for 3PL company like DHL, Ceva, Linfox, Toll etc. is not what universities teach you. I'm telling you from my experiences with two 3PL companies already.

What you learnt from master degree in university is good to use with production company, not with 3PL as you can use/develop/adapt/change the supply chain of production with suppliers, transporter, customers etc.

My goal for this post is if you decided to study logistics or supply chain in university (I got master degree so I don't know what they teach in bachelor) Don't apply for a job with 3PL company. Well 'do not' is not really good word....let's say choose production company that has big chain like Unilever, P&G, Hypermarket stores like Tesco Lotus, Woolworths ...in this case you will use what you learnt in university really well.

If you apply for job with 3PL company, it will be like you have to learn most things at work. What you studied in university will be used just as small concept to see the whole processes but it can't help that much. They don't teach you how many types of racking they have for warehouse, What is MHE?, Safety issue in warehouse and many many things that university won't concern about but they are really important for working in 3PL company.

It's really hard work. It's not easy. It's hard not only mentally but also physically. Think carefully before taking any position :) especially with DHL Supply Chain (Thailand) hahahaha

Homemade Japanese curry

Do you like Japanese curry? I do :)

It's so hard for me to find tasty Japanese curry. I tried one in Japan and the taste was not good for Thais hehe. I love tasty food but REAL Japanese food in my opinion are kinda soft taste haha. Hope you will understand what I mean.

Anyway I bought this instant Japanese curry paste, hot one but it still taste nothing for me.


It is so easy to cook. You can find recipe and how to cook online in many websites and adapt to your taste. I also added some chocolate and yogurt according to the suggestion from some blogs. And they worked really well!!! they made the curry more creamy and tasty:)

It took time about 1-2 hours till the curry are ok and carrots are soft.


Oh and I add some chilli powder in it too ;)
