My 2012 Year Resolution with SIRI

2012-01-07T10:14:00.002+08:00

Hello there. First of all, today is the first Satruday of the year for 2012, and I am going to office later for a while to fix some issues. So hows my first week of 2012 ?

I had start working on Tuesday and everyone seems to be so semangat on first day especially in the morning. Normal lah tu, adat semangat tahun baru. Mula-mula semangat lah, tunggu tengok next week macam mana..haha

First week of the year, not much new work except some of the carried forward task from the previous year, and it seems like baru sahaja masuk company, since my previous 2 big projects already cutover during year end and Alhamdulillah, there were successful.

So, what is my resolution for this year ? Generally, like everyone does and always back to previous years resolution, I would like to have 3 achievements which consists of Life achievement, Career achievement and Health achievement.

Life Achievement

Off course being a better person from time to time is my dream, in all aspect from the way I am to the way I am going to be.
Being a better muslim and learn more from Quran & Sunnah which it's the only guidance for life in this world.
Achieve to conquer the highest peak of peninsular Malaysia, Mount Tahan.
Meluaskan jajahan takluk dengan menjajah & melawat sekitar, Korea, New Zealand and Japan (if possible).
Broaden investment profile and getting good result at the year end. :)

Career Achievement

I've targeted specific details of it, and I does really hope to be achieve by this year as well, and progressively tracking it every quarter at least. :)
Learn new things and expose new opportunities!

Health Achievement

Controlling my food in take , reducing fast foods, dan makanan makanan kurang berkhasiat & lemak and lebih kan sayuran & buah buahan ye anak-anak...
Reduce & maintain my cholestrol level below 5.0 at least by mid year June 2012!
Regular & must discipline workout for gym and jogging and jangan malas malas for stamina improvement & continuous anti-oxidant process ;)

* * * * * * * * *

I had just got my Iphone 4S couple of days ago, subscribe from Maxis since my previous Nokia E72 having some memory problems and acting abnormally to perform certain task. So rather than keep bersabar for the behavior and potential increasing my blood pressure to the max, I've decided to switch my communication device to Apple.

Some people asking me, why I do choose Apple ? Not Samsung or any Android's powered machine's out there? Because if you compare those hardware features, Apple product can be a bit more overpriced and yes it does, if you compared one-to-one with Samsung Galaxy S II (GSII) which is the closest Iphone rival out there. Yet the processor of Apple is slower which only runs A5 dual core processor at only 800Mhz clock speed per cpu where by GSII runs dual core QualComm processor at 1.4 Ghz (1400Mhz) where the price is plus minus like almost the same. Well, I am not really an Apple fan, but when I bought it hold the new Iphone4s, I believed, its the right decision for me. It's worth for RM 1350.00 I would spend. An Apple is always an Apple.

So new features of this version 4s is some on hardware improvements and software improvements, you may check it at the apple site http://www.apple.com/iphone/ for more specific details. Powered by IOS 5.01, and capable of the intelligent SIRI assistant. SIRI is an intelligent assistant that allow you to send messages, call, schedule a reminder, search for web and information, navigate you, weather , stocks, currency + etc. But one drawback, currently it not able to navigate within Malaysia yet. But I believe it will be having it soon as well.

Here some screenshot from SIRI that I've tested with:-

SIRI responsive, so cool

SIRI not yet able to navigate / interact with Malaysia google maps :(

You may choose different English version such US & UK and must speak clearly, else it would interpret it differently, lol. I did choose US since its easier and US is female voice and UK is a male, sounds better than the male voice..huh

ASB Dividend

2012-01-02T17:59:00.001+08:00

It might be too little to late for this post to be publish for you guys now, but what is the matter is to highlight the point that the ASB dividend & bonus that been announced about couple of weeks ago.

To those who had just invested in the fund, might get the return of 7.65 % of dividend and 1.15 of bonus. Its kinda high rate and result is much much better than previous years. Lets take a look on the trend for the ASB performance till year 2011:-

1999: Dividend=10.5, Bonus=1.50*
2000: Dividend=9.75, Bonus=2.00*
2001: Dividend=7.00, Bonus=3.00*
2002: Dividend=7.00, Bonus=2.00**
2003: Dividend=7.25, Bonus=2.00**
2004: Dividend=7.25, Bonus=2.00**
2005: Dividend=7.25, Bonus=1.75**
2006: Dividend=7.30, Bonus=1.25**
2007: Dividend=8.00, Bonus=1.00**

2008: Dividend=7.00, Bonus=1.75**

2009: Dividend=7.30, Bonus=1.25**

2010: Dividend=7.50, Bonus=1.25**

2011: Dividend=7.65, Bonus=1.15**

ASB investment is quite safe and I can say very less in terms of risk perhaps, those who had just prefer to start their investment profile, I would suggest to start with this, before they multiply with other forms of investments such shares, property, mutual funds and others. Always put into benchmark about 7% p.a return for all your investment profile. If they can project more than the figure, it's good enough. Otherwise , you may just stick with PNB, its not worth to put some uncertain risks value for your hard-earn-money. ;)

Are you ready for 2012?

2011-12-31T00:51:00.001+08:00

Less than 24 hours we're going to reach year 2012. Year 2011 will be passed in few hours from now and lot of ups and down, obstacles and challenges that I've been through. Also, I've seen , a lot of changes in almost everywhere from my sight.

Although year 2011 seems to be kinda not a very well year I can say, but I would see it from a positive point of view. Its a constructive and building year. Personally, it taught me things that I never thought before, exposed me to learn more on myself and changes in a good way and to behave such this rather than that. Which is good.

Let's take a look of what I've been through and achieved for this whole year in overall.

I've been to India for my first vacation of the year in January & celebrate my 2011 new year there with my beloved family.

I've lost my Thinkpad's password on Chinese New Year in February and during the time I try to get support to help, all of them been off for holiday..and finally I did on my own to crack my own password for 2 consecutive days T.T

I've been to Melbourne, Australia in April for my first time in my life and first time encounter with live Kangaroos & Koalas.. :))

My company has reached 100th Years in the world and 50th Years in Malaysia! Employees were given certain amount of bonded stocks to hold. :)

I've been to Manila, Philippine for a business trip conference in June..alone, and not knowing anyone else until I reach there, It's a great city though.. And nice part was, I won a lucky draw for an ipod shuffle!

I got my yearly increment in July, yeay! Alhamdulillah.

Celebrating Ramadhan and Syawal with very grateful and decent! Manage to control my expenses for unnecessary baju raya..lol

Managed to settled my car's monthly installment on October, and finally, its financial freedom after all..oh.

Managed to complete & obtained certification on my professional accreditation in my company! Very satisfying self achievement I would say..Alhamdulillah

Been to Singapore in November for closing 2011 off-Malaysia vacation, but I did not go to the Universal Studio. Perhaps in LA later ? ;)

Managed to complete my biggest migration project of the year with less of changes, although there were some unexpected things to happen, but it gave me a huge haaaaa~.. relieving feelings :))

Did my yearly medical checkups on December although it's been due for a month.

Completed my 2012 plan & budget forecasting. :)

Let's hope for a better tomorrow and more days to go and as of now, I am officially closing my 2011 year end activity. Least but not last yet, Happy New Year 2012 to all of you!

Be good, be nice and take care always!

Varsity - Part 4

2011-12-27T17:00:00.000+08:00

Tamat sudah semester 3, and we're heading to semester 4. One of our housemate (Hafiz's roomate) berhijrah ke rumah lain, and yet we're getting new housemate who is friend of Apai as well. So quota housemate Apis di isi semula, coincidently the new housemate also named Hafiz. Ok la tu, dua-dua sama nama, and sebilik.

Everything going smooth on semester 4, except we're having more fun as we're having our superb network line within our apartment. Kami budak network, setup network sendiri. It was back in 2006, masa tu cost to setup wireless line for home agak expensive, Apai's idea to have everything wireless, tak nak serabut cable kata nya. "Amboi, berkata memang mudah, banyak duit kau apai." And I am still using wired from my pc due to ke-expensive-fan "wireless dongle" to be plugged in my PC which about almost RM200 and now like RM 30 je?? Those days, aku pakai PC je yang beli during semester 2 tu, it was expensive to buy a laptop, and I don't think its worth for me to buy one at that time.

Our wireless access point back in 2006 cost about nearly RM300+

Wireless dongle used by Apai, dia sorang saja yang pakai wireless dongle...

Semester 4 we're still relaxing mood, due to subject subject core tidak lah sesukar mana. Programming skills aku bertambah dengan mengambil Web Programming subject as option course. There where I learnt PHP and MYSQL. First time encountered Database in my life. Thanks to my cousin Wani for lending me such a good book during C++ programming dulu, it was great and teach me a lot to understand basic object oriented programming. And thanks to Apai for lending me the PHP & SQL book for guidance and further understanding. Challenges & assignments yang diberikan agak tough jika dibanding kan dengan skill aku yang tiada web programming basic direct from Matriculation, mana aku belajar programming, compared to diploma intake, they all already have & been thought basic skills at least. Although lecturer kami agak garang & berhati kering, however I did excel the subject! yeu!! Masih teringat peristiwa housemate ku Apis yang bersengkang mata menonton anime dan bersilih ganti membuat last minute final assignment sehingga 3 pagi..and then last minute juga hard disk / data dia tak save ke macam mana tah, berkawad askar dia dalam rumah sampai Apai pun naik ngeri..hahahaha.

About 2 months before semester ends, all of us required to find our own practical place to perform the internship & practice in industry level. Phew..baru 4 semester, entah apa yang boleh buat kan? Especially aku budak matric yang baru setahun jagung knowledge...isk. Beberapa application submitted antara yang aku ingat, TM, Maxis, BMW IT, GITN , Sapura + etc..whereby that time I am staying in Putrajaya, so I'll find nearby place saja lah. At the end of semester, I manage to get place in Sapura. Hmm..terima saja lah, dengan knowledge yang ada, entah apa yang aku boleh buat for the duration 1-2 months of practical...

Continue soon..

Memanjat Gunung

2011-12-21T08:16:00.000+08:00

Huh, I did not expect that I could achieve until this point. Point peak of Mt Kinabalu yang menjanjikan kepuasan penuh kepada para pendaki tegar dan bukan pendaki tegar. Seriously amazing dan tidak dapat digambarkan dengan kata-kata. Well you all whose have not been there yet, strive yourself, GO! It was cool...and cold ofcourse the temperature very low. I manage to get the certification as to achieve the peak. Yeah!

Bukak balik cerita lama, it was like 2 years 10 months ago we went there, but the moments still fresh in my mind. Kinabalu trip was so fun. Although only 4 of us manage to get to the peak, the other one named Lukman only remain at Laban Rata checkpoint due to energy-fluctuation-syndrome..hehe. aku saja menambah.. sampai sekarang nama timangan lekat as "Lukman Laban Rata", but i believe he still can do it one more time..Anyway, you may refer to my previous posts as to refer back what was happening during the time. So, tips and hints before climbing? Below are the best practices for you to refer and it depends on your body capabilities also, but it does work.

For at least 3 months before your departure, control your food intake. Say no no to carbonated drinks which might lower your stamina and less less less ice intake okay. Drinks more warm water or hot is better.
Food also. Eat more nutrients food, reduce fast foods, if possible, banned it..temporarily. :)
Exercise, how frequent is enough? Best way and easiest way is, long distance run. Yes, 5-10km would be sufficient. But jangan lah la pulak sebelum ni tak pernah jogging or running, tiba-tiba one shot bagi 10km. Pengsan tengah jalan, padan muka..haha..Kidding, i mean, slowly and steady. Start from 2km, 5km, 6km and so on from every at least 3 times a week like one month before departure.
Remember, at the peak after first checkpoint, the temperature is damn cold, if raining season, you'll be dead....i mean freezing dead. sejuk gila bagai menjadi beruang kutub. So, bring along comfortable windbreaker or sweater that might heat you up, but don't bring too big or heavy.
First start, in the morning, wear light clothes as it is day time, so no need extra heavy and thick clothes. Three-quarter slack pants or track bottom is just nice to wear.
If possible, try to do steps on stairs. Few times or practice it at your office. Below 5 floor, I guess its possible for you to just take the stairs to tune up your muscles to get used to carry your body weight in climbing motion. Heh. But if its higher than that, you might just take the elevator. Perhaps half half will do.

Raining in Rainy Season

2011-12-16T01:39:00.001+08:00

The most tiring moment that I found when ever you on you way back home, and the time was already late at night..suddenly the rain pours...really heavy as u can't even walk..Oh forgot to say , and you're taking public transport which need to walk for about 15 minutes to the nearest station. - Anology 2011

Sighs, I hate to blog about work, as if like having a tiring day back in the office, and yet I am still able to talk about it here. Its like rewinding the tape cassette over and over again to listen to your favourite song back in 90's. No way.

15th December, oh its already 16th December now. we only left 15 days ahead before 2011 ends. Did my achievable resolution been achieved ? As a rational oriented person, I would say, partially achieved..work wise, I am on the right track I guess, although still climbing the staircase like before, but now with some skills of climbing already. Macam memanjat staircase sambil bernyanyi..Life wise, sometimes rain and sometimes sunny, mana ada bumi yang tak ditimpa hujan ye tak? so bila hujan lebat, doa lah banyak banyak, di mana antara waktu berkat berdoa ialah pada hari hujan a.k.a waktu kita ditimpa masalah. Financial wise, alhamdulillah so far okay and steady, kereta pun dah habis bayar. Yeay!

Pejam tak pejam, It has been more than 4 years I've been holding title as a worker. Buruh. Pekerja. dan pembayar cukai. Damn..sebut pasal akhir tahun. Its time to calculate your auto deduction taxes and yes, dengan rela hati, harus lah membayar zakat pendapatan. Jadi, dari membayar taxes, its better to counter back the payment to zakat, at least pahala pun dapat harta pun dibersihkan, insyaAllah.

To those readers, jangan kata aku tak remind..sila bayar zakat anda ya. End of the year sudah ni, jalan kan tanggungjawab anda sebagai seorang muslim. Its just 2.5% of what you've earn, is it much? And its not mainly for others, its just for you at the end, to purify your wealth. Harta bukan segalanya, tapi keberkatan yang kita cari. Buat apa harta berjuta, kalau hati masih gelisah dan tidak mendapat ketenangan? Biar harta cukup makan asal hati tenang gembira dan bahagia. Selamat beramal!

Am I suppose to talk about tips climbing Kinabalu? Next post lah yer. :)

Hello!

2011-12-15T00:03:00.000+08:00

Baru disedari, dah tiga minggu ketidakhadiran new post dalam blog ni, its not that I don't want to stop writting, I would love to write about things happening around. Akan tetapi, kerja yang bagai kan menghamba diri ini menyebab kan new post menjadi sepi. But seriously, time fly super fast...and lately , I did tried to allocate my balance annual leave bagi mengisi kekosongan saki baki bulan Disember.

December month which is the most wanted month bagi masyarakat serata Malaysia. Kanak kanak dan pelajar sekolah menanti-nanti kerana musim cuti sekolah yang panjang. Pasti seronok bukan. Tidak lupa juga para pekerja yang cuma sedaya upaya mengumpul cuti untuk mengambil cuti kombo pada akhir bulan ini. Hatta, rugi lah jikalau anda masih bekerja tetapi rakan rakan anda sedang menikmati percutian @ relax sahaja di rumah sambil menonton tv series.

In short and what I want to highlight here is, next upcoming week will be my last week working.....for this year i mean..since aku dah ambik cuti panjang selama seminggu untuk bertapa sahaja di rumah. Oh well, I might going to Penang for my friend's wedding. I 've been wondering if so nice I could take the double storey express bus. Never had a chance to ride it in Malaysia. So I guess I would grab this chance.

One more thing, yea, new year next year right, resolution ? There will always be. I'm planning to join Tahan climbing trip next year January during Chinese New Year holiday. It will be new challenge for me as what I heard Tahan difficulty is more harder than Mount Kinabalu. I manage to conquer peak of Mount Kinabalu 3 years ago, which I was 24 years old. I am not sure on my stamina level, but I just need to get fit to achieve it. Next post will be some tips and advice for mount KK climbing tips for those who interested to get there. Tak sampai atas jangan balik..hahaha.

Anyway, pray the best for me and this new Hijrah year, harapan untuk kita menjadi lebih baik, dirahmati dan mendapat kebaikan & perlindungan daripadaNya, insyaAllah. :))

Me & I

2011-11-16T23:25:00.001+08:00

Bulan November 2011. Jika aku di hemisfera utara, seperti New York? aku mungkin bersedia menghadapi musim sejuk yang akan tiba dan tidak sabar sabar menanti salji yang turun. Jika aku di hemisfera selatan, seperti di Sydney? sudah tentu aku akan bersedia menghadapi persediaan musim panas, dan bersantai membakar diri pantai Gold Coast, Brisbane..

Realitinya, aku berada di Kuala Lumpur, garisan zon khatulistiwa. Sudah tentu aku bersedia membawa payung ke office kerana monsun timur laut yang melanda KL yang hampir hari-hari petang hujan. Aku suka hujan. Walaupun banyak keburukan ketika pulang kerja, seperti traffic jem & mengalamai kebasahan ketika meniti jalan pulang, tapi hujan akan menyejukkan keadaan cuaca yang panas begitu juga mencuci segala habuk & debu lama.

I took 2 days off purposely to utilize my leave. Berhujung minggu merantau ke Singapura. It's been a while I never been there. Quite years before, but it takes time for me to recall back what are the changes had been made there. Orang kata jauh berjalan luas pandangan. It's true. Really true. Luas pandangan ambil yang mana yang baik , buang yang tidak. :) Vacation is like for me to recharge myself. I am like having a huge battery in myself, right now, which where the power has been depleted. I need to recharge.

Real Work, Real Steel

2011-11-12T01:34:00.001+08:00

Terribly saying. I am at office now. 1am. Morning to all~ which most of you already fall asleep. Or happily enjoying movies with loved ones or enjoying ur friday night do what ever you all loved to do. Crap. I envy you guys..

Kerja tak pernah habis. Yet, I am eager to finish this project that I am working on. Tak sabarnya nak balik awal. Like those days. 630pm the latest. Mengharungi traffic..its ok, traffic pun traffic, at least I'm on my way back! Mengira cuti yang masih ada 14 hari, and yet now dah masuk minggu ke dua November. Application cuti ku sudah approved. Yay! But however, bulan terakhir 2011 disusuli training yang tidak disangka..at least dapat lari dari kerja..cukup lah. Berehat.

Stress bekerja sudah menjadi kebiasaan kadang kala. At times, sampai sakit pulak belakang kepala. That's the symptom when I'm really stress. What will I do? Take a deep breath, Tutup laptop lid, go for a walk, solat..and have a chat. Seriously, alhamdulillah, it does relief and otak ku masih rasional.

Oh ya, recently, people does talk about movie so called Real Steel, I believe most of you pasti sudah tonton..on facebook tak payah cakap lah..terikut ikut dengan status "Real steel..best! mesti tonton", dan pengaruh peers those watched it.."pergi la tengok..pergi la tengok"..so I've decided to watch it. Not really recent, but i still remember. Storyline was nice, tapi ending yang bersahaja. Not that expected, I won't give much but 3.5/5 will do. But its something different, mana tak nya , sentuhan Steven Spielberg, so you guys, watch it. Interesting like Iron Man..but can't reach until that level. :)

Off, nak balik dah! :)

Varsity - Part 3

2011-11-01T23:37:00.000+08:00

Habis semester 1 dan 2. Alhamdulillah, dengan berkat study dan kosentrasi di waktu kuliah, aku dapat menghabiskan both semester dengan result yang memuaskan. Dapat sambung ke semester 3. yahoo!

Untuk para siswa (pelajar lelaki), adalah agak rumit untuk mendapatkan hostel/kediaman di dalam kolej pada semester 3. Ini adalah kerana, para siswa perlu aktif dalam sukan yang dianjurkan atau menggunakan taktik politk (tipu sahaja) untuk bermati-matian mendapatkan kediaman kolej

Maka, semester 3, kami tinggal di luar. Maksud nya, kami menyewa di luar oleh sebab akibat terpengaruh dengan pujukan rayu Fairuz (ala BFF ku yg baru dapat baby tu..) untuk tinggal di luar, dengan atas beberapa sebab kononnya:-

1) Mudah untuk ke kedai mamak pada waktu malam selepas study jika mengantuk, kerana di dalam kolej, pintu pagar akan ditutup setelah jam 12am. :(
2) Boleh mendapatkan bekalan internet connection streamix secara peribadi di rumah sewa (dulu takde wireless broadband ya) untuk tujuan penyeledikan (research)..kononnya..access adalah lebih laju!
3) Flexibility yang tinggi udara diluar dpat memupuk minda lebih sihat untuk score masa exam...

Akibat terpengaruh rakan tidak sebaya, maka kami mengambil keputusan untuk menyewa. Blok 11, unit 405 seksyen 7 di mana kami tinggal setelah 2-3 hari puas mencari rumah sewa di musim peperiksaan akhir semester 2. Puas Hafiz naik turun tangga mencari nombor telefon pemilik rumah.

Ada satu hari, ketika mencari kediaman sewa, ok kenapa bahasa macam official..rephrase..

Ada satu masa tu, masa time cari rumah sewa, antara rumah yang kami survey..kami masuk je rumah tu bersama pakcik tuan rumah sambil membuka pintu, ada sebuah akuarium 5 kaki dan seekor ikan kaloi putih yang sangat besar dalam akuarium tu..terkejut aku..ingat rumah kosong..aku pun bertanya pakcik tu,

"Pakcik, akuarium ni sapa punya ni pakcik?"

"Pakcik punya lah" Pakcik tuan rumah membalas..

"Kamu jaga lah ikan ni elok-elok ya..buat macam ikan sendiri" Pakcik tu menambah

Terus kami cancel tak jadi, dah la kami nak menyewa, tiba tiba kena jaga ikan kaloi la pulak..

* * * * *

Semester 3 bermula, perpindahan barang ke bilik masing-masing, unit 405 mempunyai 3 bilik tidur, masing masing (aku, Hafiz & Fairuz) memilih bilik masing-masing dan bersependapat untuk tidak tinggal sebilik. Dah satu kelas, takkan bilik pun nak satu jugak. Since bilik mewah kami boleh memuatkan lagi seorang, maka each of us menjemput rakan masing-masing untuk menyewa bersama. Dengan kadar sewa RM550 sebulan untuk sebuah unit, kami bersyukur, ianya boleh dibahagi 6 orang. hehe. Jimat & still comfortable.

OK berjela pulak cerita pasal rumah. Bab subject, masuk semester 3, subject course menjadi semakin bercambah dan sukar mencabar. Banyak optional dan elective untuk dipilih. Macam biasa, bila waktu pendaftaran di announce, system pandaftaran online pula dibuka, masing-masing mula bertanya, subject apa yang nak ambik..dan 3rd language level 1 wajib ambik..aku memilih mandarin..mungkin sebab subject tu yang agak popular dikalangan pelajar, tapi, bukan mudah untuk score juga..so aku cuba sahaja. Hafiz turut serta, bersama rakan kelas ku yang lain, Azfar, Rozhan, Rozailina, Hanis dan beberapa yang lain..

Fairuz memang kaki Nihonggo dan mengamal kan dasar pandang ke timur. Sejak aku mengenalinya, pantang ada waktu lapang, anime & japanese drama menjadi makanan ruji nya..so korang tau je la dia ambik subject apa..Japanese.

Subject TITAS 2 (Islamic & Asian Civilization Level 2) wajib di ambil...bab membaca sejarah, aku memang tak boleh performed, but still, its compulsary..My focus is totally out. sighs* Subject core networking mula disisip dalam semester 3..Operating System Concept (I hate this..), Computer Security..and etc..

Are you a workaholic?

2011-10-30T18:36:00.002+08:00

When weekend/holiday comes into place, and you got nothing in plan, there goes miserable moment I shall say to you. Apart from hectic working life, some people would say you're a workaholic. Workaholic and working hard is totally different okay! jangan sama kan both terms. I do work based on responsibility. Kalau kerja ada due date, yes I would finish it the soonest. But deep in my heart, selagi boleh balik awal, selagi boleh aku nak!

Ada few people asked me what do you do sampai busy sangat?? Balik malam everyday..okaylah, now I tell you in another metaphor, "My workload is like carrying 3 sets of huge backpack which should be carried by 3 different backpackers walking up a Kilimanjaro mountain with each hand holding a 8kg dumbell" Got it? Lol..i am just kidding, but its similar to non-stop work in the office back there.

Anyhow, lupakan sebentar metaphor tidak bermakna itu, I love my job and passion on it, as long as I could still learning, it'll be good enough. Although, I rather say, I am still not a workaholic, where workaholic is a person who is addicted to work.

Plus, describe the terms in from the web, Workaholism is not the same as working hard. Despite logging in an extraordinary amount of hours and sacrificing their health and loved ones for their jobs, workaholics are frequently ineffective employees. - Which totally not mE ok! I wont scarifies my health just for working extraordinary all the time? sometime in bluemoon maybe la..hehe

So, In order to not mixing up your self with workaholism group, live life balance, work accordingly and plan your day. Strive to the best in everything but not slaving yourself and time to work. I have a simple rule, I do work seriously and I do take vacation seriously. Ok tak paham, tapi apa yang penting Go and have fun out there. Yet, I still have 14 days of Annual leave? Yea, I spent my leave with balance time-offs , that's the reason my Annual Leave still that much. I still have 2 months before 2012, most likely I would still need to carry forward my leave about 5 days again next year.

It's been about 4 years i've been working with the same role and roles..makin lama I stay here more roles I am handling. As my boss said, "If you want to go to another opportunities by doing different role, you're free to go but with one condition don't make yourself important..let it be less important"...Hmm.

Busy Business

2011-10-23T01:02:00.001+08:00

Been so-extremely-super-high-end busy with total loads yang bagai membawa tong gas mendaki gunung kinabalu..--Metaphor porter barang mendaki gunung...I meant it!

Through out end of the year, Q4 i mean, not only sales people yang berkejaran last minute nak close yearly quota pipeline target, but also services line like ME tight up with projects & works. Asal sampai rumah dah malam..it does, really really tiring.

So it does tell everything why did my time so tight up. Went to IBM Regional Technical Exchange last Wednesday, was good, at least something to runaway from the office. But somehow, work continues on next next day itself. Will upload the pic in fb soon..ttyl. daa

ps: oh lupa, my close friend, Ahmad Fairuz Ibrahim just got his baby boy last Monday..so cute lah anak kau apai, tapi aku tak berani pegang..fragile baby..tunggu 2-3 bulan, dah besar sikit..heheh..congrats to you. I'll pray for the best & happiness to you, Arifah and baby. Allah bless you all! Apa-apa pun, aku tahu anak kau pasti bangga dapat uncle macam aku..heheh!

Berkucing bermaksud di sini ialah hidup bersama kucing. I've been living with cats since I was born. Memang keluarga kami membela kucing sampai lah la ni..tapi bukan la kucing yang sama. So pendek kata, I can actually predict cat's behavior. At one time, jumlah ahli kucing di rumah ku telah mencapai sebanyak 15 ekor. Punca pembantu rumah lari dari rumah..haha. Kidding. Sampai sekarang masih confuse kenapa dia lari, maybe sebab penjagaan kucing tiada dalam Statement of Work (SOW) dia kot..atau menjaga aku yang agak nakal semasa kecil..hahaha. kidding kedua.

Kucing spesis mixed breed menjadi pilihan untuk dijaga oleh kami sehingga beranak pinak. That time was the time when we stayed in Taman Melawati, back in 1985. Our cats mixed with neighbors cat so the breed mixed up among them. Mixed breed cat mempunyai beberapa advantage. Mixed breed i meant was mixed with local cats. And those advantageous menjaga mixed breed cat are:-

Rupa paras yang tidak terlampau comel sampai takda orang nak culik, so tak perlu risau, kucing anda boleh berkeliaran bebas bergaul bersama rakan-rakan lain.
They're smart and active, dan mempunyai antibody yang bagus, sebab rajin makan rumput di luar yang menjadikan ubat ubatan tradisional mereka sendiri.
Bulu yang tidak begitu panjang dan tidak mudah gugur, so very less maintenance for the owner., tak perlu vacuum carpet almost every week!
Boleh menangkap tikus dan binatang kecil yang tidak diingini..brilliant. Tapi sometimes mereka membawa pulang sebagai hadiah dan letak di atas carpet sebagai trophy! :(
Tidak memilih dan cerewet memilih makanan, nasi dengan ikan rebus pun mereka ok. :)

After yearsssssss membela mixed breed. There comes our Comel & Manja back in September 2009 in our house. Both of them been told was mixed breed from German & Russian species. About 2 years dibela, spesis sebegini memerlukan perhatian yang lebih. Antara special species ala-persian type gebu sebegini ciri cirinya seperti:-

Rupa paras yang comel & vulnerable untuk penculik menculik mereka, jadi mereka tidak dibenarkan sesuka hati keluar bermain di luar.
They're smart and active, tapi pada waktu malam since siang mereka akan tidur sahaja..mereka jarang makan rumput dan daun, maka tidak tahu membeza kan daun palsu dan daun sebenar, sampai bunga plastic di dalam rumah pun digigit gigit, so kalau salah makan, akan menyebab kan diarrhea. Dan , mereka mempunyai antibody yang agak lemah maybe sebab cuaca and agak sensitive which they need suntikan vaccine secara berkala.
Bulu yang super panjang dan boleh menganyam carpet baru jika dikumpul...oh, and vacuum everyweek is a must for those yang ada carpet!
Boleh menangkap tikus? Maybe mereka akan lari ketakutan atau menjadikan tikus sebagai sahabat..
Tidak memilih dan cerewet memilih makanan? jika makanan tidak kena, pasti akan diarrhea & muntah lagi.

Reason why I say so, both of them telah mengalami diarrhea about 1 week ago, keadaan agak merisaukan membuatkan mereka dihantar ke Vets. So we took them to the Vets near Hulu Kelang (Animal Medical Center). Symptom yang dialami seperti muntah & cirit birit berpanjangan. Blood test was done, and Doctor suspected that they just having normal food issue, luckily, and advise us to give i/d food from Hills pet food. Hopefully they're getting better, which currently still under medication. Tiap-tiap malam dan pagi sebelum ke office terpaksa bertarung untuk memaksa mereka makan ubat tablet..haih. Comel yang berbadan kecil pun perlu bertarung untuk memaksa, apatah lagi Manja yang sebesar memerang sungai...bayangkan.

Medication follow up..awww, kena makan ubat, seksa nak bagi makan ubat

In short, kucing adalah tetap kucing. Sayangilah mereka dengan sepenuh kasih sayang.

Varsity - Part 2

2011-10-04T00:51:00.000+08:00

Continued:

After registration, I managed to get the dorm key and "check-in" the dorm. College name, "Perindu". Nama macam buluh perindu. Was build since 60's I guess. Yes and even my uncle stayed there during his college preparation before he continue to States back in early 80's. Even my previous manager also stayed there during his college time. Sighs* This is old freak building! Opened up the doors and I was surprise...

Huh.. there were 8 beds in the room..8 katil kah? bagai dorm asrama..anyway, its fine with me, aku tidak cerewet, just that I need to pilih my bed cepat! Since katil double deck, I would ALWAYS prefer katil atas kalau double decker. Yes, KATIL ATAS. Why? Takde la orang nak duduk on my bed untuk bersinggah or melepak atau makan keropok di atas katil aku. Yea, and plus, boleh la tidur dengan lena kat atas dengan tenang tanpa di ganggu..walaupun risiko terpancung kepala terkena kipas syiling, but I am still stick with my preference..anyway, kipas jauh..so its okay. hehe

First 7 person that I knew in UiTM Shah Alam, were my roomates. It was like 7 years ago. I still remember some of their names..at least their first name. hehe. They were from Business Schools, Hotel & Management School, and my School, IT & Quantitative Sciences..good thing, time budak-budak chef ada buat masakan, diorang akan bawa balik bagi we all test..still remember the lamb chop they brought in..good one!

University life, agak kekok, but it was nice and beautiful memories. Since UiTM antara IPTA di Malaysia yang disubsidi oleh government. Kira anak angkat kerajaan lah ni, but I was lucky i was granted in. Despite yuran yang super murah di dunia..ok exaggerating..i guess murah di Malaysia, facilities nya juga yang cukup hebat and up to date. We all dapat makan free lagi, 3 kali sehari for those who stayed in the college. Sapa tak nak. Walaupun selang 2-3 hari, lauk ikan jacket menjadi hidangan.. T.T Tapi, hari jumaat, mesti ada either nasi tomato or nasi beriani..terbaik!

Kolej perindu ada satu cafe, we called it, Perindu Inn..ada la dalam 3 lot kedai kecil kat situ. Menjual hidangan thai ala-cart goreng-goreng..sampai la ke burger. Burger dia, masa tu, burger tu je lah yang paling sedap dari ladang. To me..RM1.50..like selang sehari aku akan beli burger tu..with cheese. Sedapp!

Jarak dari Kolej Perindu ke Faculty, kalau berjalan kaki..ada lah dalam 20 minit. Aku rela naik bas walaupun bas tu akan keluar balik pagar UiTM and masuk balik. At least dapat relax dalam bas, bus free juga..hehe..most of my classmate would prefer berjalan kaki , tapi kalau semua jalan kaki, sapa nak naik bas kan? so I took the bus then..kesian pakcik bas bawak bas sorang sorang.

My routine di U, biasa nya pagi ke kelas, petang rabu kalau takde kelas, I would go for swimming kat kelab kolam renang Universiti petang around 5pm. Semua would prefer tido or melepak sahaja di bilik. Swimming pool mengenakan bayaran 0.50 sekali masuk. Bersize olimpik, berenang dari hujung ke hujung boleh melelahkan anda yang kurang upaya dan stamina. Selain berenang, I would prefer jogging once in a while di Tasik Section 2..petang-petang memang ramai juga yang jogging. So dapat la sweating sikit rather than tido kat bilik. Oh once in a while juga aku ter-fall a sleep di kala petang yang berhujan..huh..katil bagaikan magnet pada waktu hujan. Can't help. Most of tengahari memang aku tido. Kalau balik lunch, akan tido kejap walau pun hanya 20 minit. Mengantuk!

Study time? Malam..lepas maghrib or isyak around 9 to 12 is my time. Study mate aku dulu Hafiz and Hanis. Nama dah dua-dua H kecuali aku je start dari A. I am the one yang tak pernah success study last minute. So, I could not put any risk to study on the last minute time kat U ni, nak tak nak, dari awal sem, sampai la nak ke final sem. My study place was in bilik 24 hours near PTAR 2 - Perpustakaan Tunku Abdul Rahman 2, dekat dengan Faculty Business Admin at most Isnin sampai Jumaat, Sabtu and Ahad aku balik rumah..haha.

Menguap dah, sambung later je yah..to be continued

Improvement & Maintenance

2011-10-02T13:34:00.001+08:00

Long week with super tight schedule makes me feel so tired & exhausted. Project still going on progress which expected to be completed by end of October if everything went smooth. As yet so far, we are in a good position and on our way to finish it. These past 2 weeks I went back home like almost at 9pm everyday. Working with project is interesting just that you gonna spend a lot of time and passion on it.

Last Monday, I've decided to change my car audio player since the existing one already seems to be faulty or I can say bila bila sahaja boleh rosak. Paparan LCD nya telah tidak dapat melihat apa apa lagi. The only person know what is the radio station currently playing on is myself. haha. Because I am the one who preset it. So kalau orang naik my car, you would find difficulties in tuning the radio, sebab tak nampak apa-apa on the screen. Thought for a while before purchasing the new radio, it has been 6 years since the car been bought. So, I guess, beli je lah baru for Her kan, and expecting it will last for another 6 years. Yea, my car is female anyway. Finally, I sent it to one of the car audio shop recommended from my friend which they're good in doing this with quality workmanship and very reasonable price from outside there. In short, after simple research, I close the deal by purchasing it. Ok la, investment for another 6 years :)

Goes in for new player

Pemasangan teliti dari pakar

KDC-X8016BT Bought..hope can last another 6 years :)

Working is just tiring and exhausting..same thing happen to my car, exhaust pun buat hal sebab exhausted..haha..tak kelakar.

Baru je dapat radio baru, dia nak buat hal dengan exhaust. So nak tak nak, the same week of changing the audio, I sent her again to fix the exhaust..high maintenance betul..sighs. Mendapat tahu ada leakage pada piping exhaust Satria. And it create sounds macam sports car. Put it like Ferrari kereta malaysia. Although pintu macam ferrari dah sebab hanya ada 2..bunyi pun dah lebih kurang. huh.

Its kinda annoying, so I just went to fix it up. Withdraw cash quite some amount, but it end up just tampal saja pada leakage. I have no idea about exhaust maintenance before, only on the engine part tu sikit sikit boleh la, since exhaust, you can't simply go to normal workshop, some of them can't even fix it. You need to find an exhaust specialist shop. Macam nak fix car aircond la..ada specific specialist workshop. Damage pocket cost, RM50 untuk tampalan pada tabung tengah exhaust.

Penampalan oleh towkey workshop

waiting, I stay a bit far takut meletup..haha..mana tak nya, pakai welding dekat dengan fuel tank tu..

Done
