Who we are?

Hi and welcome to our blog. Let me start by introducing myself.

I’m Joe – an IT guy currently living in the southern region of Malaysia. I am the founder of QOBC dot com (since 2004) which started as a blog talking about WordPress and Mobile Apps. (Update: In 2020, I have decided to convert the blog to a business site).

Besides me, Amy is my partner, and she mainly writes in our Chinese language backpacking travel blog.

We speak & write in English (most of our clients’ language), Chinese Mandarin (our mother tongue), and Bahasa Malaysia (our National language). We also understand a few local dialects, i.e.: Hokkien, Cantonese, etc.

We Enjoy Travelling And Reading

We love travelling simply because we love meeting new friend(s) around the world, enjoying new experiences and seeing the world. We have visited more than 20 countries across Asia & Europe i.e.: Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, India, Turkey, South Korea, Japan, Ireland, UK, Spain, Portugal, France, Czech Republic, Hungary, Germany, Greece, Austria and etc.

Besides travelling, we also enjoy reading, especially those related to technology, WordPress & travel news.

Background

I am an electronics engineering graduate, but I never work in any electronics firm nor as an electronics engineer.

I was working in IT firm for past 14 years, i.e.: 7 years in a local IT company and another 7 years in a web company. I’m now a freelancer working from anywhere with an internet connection (since 2016).

In order to offer affordable web & digital solutions to small-sized local businesses, we moved to a Smart Home-Office (SHO) in Johor Bahru (Malaysia GMT +8) in 2016. In additional to the SHO, we set up a Mobile Office in 2018, so we can hit the road and provide value from anywhere. These low-cost setups help us to cut down unnecessary costs and return the savings to our customers.
