best tak besttt.....

:: best tak best 21hb - 24hb ni kena pi kursus kat melaka pulak....something like the previous one kat genting cuma different topic. seeloknya kena pegi tapi tak pegi pun tak per....tapi kalau pegi lagi bagus....tapi kalau boleh tak mau pi...so nak pegi ker tak mau pi ni??!!! hahahaha...surat dah bagi kat bos tadi....

bos kata: ni kursus dr J*A ni kena pegi ni
hati kata: alerrr...tak nak pegiii

anyway, bos kena discuss ngan boss besor dulu sbb bos plak nak cuti time tarikh kursus tuh. ader chance tak leh gi ni.....mauakakakakak *gelakevil*. apa2 pun i hate courses esp those held outside KL....and i dunno why courses "PT* jalanpeta" by J*A yg mmg kena hadir asyik dapat outside KL jer. org lain senang plak dapat buat kat I*bukan nama sebenar!!

p/s: best tak best 20hb tuh ader makan2 at my hse....kalau kena postpone lagi....masak la makcik!!! *winkkatfaramayerkandiffah

nothing much....

:: perlu ker cerita pasal raya....tak payah la kan...kang panjang berjela plak. but anyway, our camera charger went kaput on the eve of Hari Raya so no Hari Raya pixs frm us. and this year tak dapat pekena laksa siam at my cousin's house. laksa siam is a must have meal at our cousin's house every year on the 2nd day of hari raya. dis yr tak sempat nak pegi sbb ppl keep on coming to our hse after friday's prayer. we only managed to leave the house around 4pm but of course me and mr evil terus balik kl sbb dah lewat while the rest pi melantak!!!!

:: semenjak dua menjak ni rasa malas nak update the evil genius....asyik dok memain ngan templates and dok excited ngan cheeky bites jerk. mlm ni nak gi OU nak beli subway sandwich...yeay!!!!!! semata2 babe!!! not just me...even mr evil pun dah lama teringin nak makan sandwich itu.

:: dis week and next weekend invitation for lunch and dinner dah penuh. in fact next weekend i'm gonna do a makan2 session for my frens frm school. i wont call it an open hse coz it is a closed session. tak pandai la nak buat open hse...tak pandai bajet amt of food one thing....tak pandai masak banyak2 is another thing. after payday maybe another 2 closed session will be held at our home....hihihihi

daaaaaaaaaaa

yawn!!!

ader org giler konon2 rajin gi tukor template blog. nak tukor yg canggih manggih tak pandai la plak kan. terpaksa guna yg sangap ni. ni tahan seminggu dua jer kot ni. actually ader byk template yg simple but nice...but of course mr evil wont agree to a purpleish or pinkish layoutkan!! mr evil suh carik kolor funky2...masalahnyer yg funky2 tuh ler ader gambor bunga lah,..pompuan lah...and bit of purple or pink. purple and pink is a big no-no for him!!hahhaha...anyway, cHeeKy BiTeS updated!!!

my inner child is....

Your Inner Child Is Angry

You're not an angry person.But when you don't get your way, watch out.Like a very manipulative kid, you will get what you want.Even if it takes a little kicking and screaming.

p/s: no wonder!!!!

Same ol, same ol

Had a very interesting day today...Finally I have moved out from Cyberjaya to TTDI. All this while, i've studied in cyber and worked my arse off in cyber too..minus my stint in Shah Alam for 2 month and Bukit Bintang or 10 month...but that's gonna be another blog entry on its own..very long story..Though i'm suppposed to be based in cyber..but i'll be usually seen in TTDI office since all of my team members are located there...It's quite tiring to running around from 2 offices plus partners and customers sites..sigh..
My new workstation is quite big with a freakin view..an old rusting building and an under construction condos..Well, at least i got a view.. Yes dear...i know u got ur friggin own room..whooopie..i hated rooms anyway...too quite. You tend to doze off and day dream in a big old boring room..since mine is in a secluded corner..I'd be able to chat more without getting caught...finally...
Today, i made a very difficult call to a business partner..it was tough..i had postponed it for almost 3 month with hope nobody had noticed something is wrong with the invoices..but in the end..its gonna bite you back..crap..i picked up the phone..dialled his number..just after drafting an email to notify the screw up..hehehe..too scared to talk to the guy..so i thought i can hide behind an email address..Anyway..told him the situation..I said sorry though it was not my fault..somebody has to take the blame damn it..and he said ok..Shit....that was easy!! Probably Ramadhan month...but my point was..Why did i tried to tai chi my way out all this while. I would be able to have a piece of mind 3 month ago. That's 3 month that i will not get back. So, no more procastination to resolve problem..hopefully..But i really hate fire fighting with internal department..they can be very very annoying..much more annoying than my most difficult customer..why lah? Can't we just get along..make love not war.
Called up Hakim, an old friend during my A-Level days..he already setup a company secretary firm. Guess most of my friend already have their own business...and where i am right now..slogging my butt off..day in day out..still stuck in the rat race...Ok no more whining about work..its pretty pathetic in a corny way.
Buka puasa in Regent Hotel...this would be the last buka puasa in a hotel for this yr...Finally...already sicked and bored with hotel food. I'd rather buy 'em in pasar ramadhan and in my own place..Now i know what my economic lecturer meant about the Law of Diminishing Return...refer to John Sloman book on Macro Economics...hahaha..the 3 inch book good as a sleeping pill..very effective one.. till another lesson on life..

busy sangat busy

Takziah buat Pak Lah sekeluarga. Semoga roh Allahyarhamah dicucuri rahmat. AlFatihah.

:: went to seri perdana last thursday. ramai sangat org...we were stuck at their car porch when suddenly my friend felt dizzy and nearly fainted. harus la patah balik kan. rasa nyer ader a few yg hampir pengsan jugak.

:: busy sangat....sangat busy...takde masa nak buat long entry. watch 1st episod of casa impian season 6...ayorks....i hate evrything except the flower arrangement. i never like flower arrangement in my house tetiba terasa mcm berminat pulak. hmm....paying a visit to my mum's fav florist in front of kamdar alor setar sounds great huh dear???!!

:: my new colleague arrive last week. thank god i still got the room to myself...maybe becoz 1) he is taking over mr A's duties so might as well take over his desk and pc at the other room. 2) when he came in, i was at a 9 - 2 pm meeting and i lock my door...ahahahahha...hey...i dunno he was coming on that particular day laaa

:: congrats to the guy yg menang our ps2. tak sangka boleh jual at that price. thank you for bidding (if u happen to read this lar). so skang ni satu hal nak kena deliver ke sabah plak kan. he already transfer the money plus delivery cost...so fast aarr...so hunny u better be quick.

Jualan Murah...mari mari mari

-------------------------------------------------
update
:: baru nak merasa nikmat duduk dalam bilik ni sensorang...dah ader pengganti plak dah. well, not yet actually tapi dah ade nama cuma tunggu sign org atas. hmm...pls let it be a lady and pls let it be after raya
-------------------------------------------------

went back home during lunch break to watch my fav oprah show (erkkk....boleh gitu??) tgh syiok2 baring atas sofa tgk tv....bunyi alarm dari lift...i thot mesti lift sangkut ni ader org picit bell...so buat tak tau layan tv balik....then fire alarm plak bunyik....erk..apa hal lak ni...bukak pintu....aisey...fire alarm betol2 depan pintu umah...BINGIT!!! sambung balik tgk tv....fire alarm still bunyi sekali ngan alarm dr lift. arghhh...tak leh jadi ni (dgn perasaan yg agak cuak menggigil2)....grab my tudung....amik brooch letak dlm wallet....kuor umah try menuju ke lift (konon nak turun lift...masa tsunami quake selamber jer turun lift)...both lift ader sign fire...WHAT??!!!!! fire betol ker ni...apsal semua org relax nii!!!! apa lagi cabut ler ikut tangga dari tingkat 11 sampai G...but the thing is...why am i the only one....where's everybody??? i saw one kid tgh terjenguk2 kat koridor umah dia...and another makcik dok bersidai tgk something...duh?? sampai bawah saw two boys looking at the operating room...

me: apsal dik?
boy: lift sangkut
me: kenapa?
boy: ade budak main mercun kat tingkat 4 so lift sangkut sbb ingat kebakaran
me: owh (dalam hati - tak guna punyer budak!!!!!! takder tpt lain nak main mercun ke!!! BOD*HHHHHHHHHHHHH)

tp kelakarkan...why is everybody so relax...what if kalau betol mmg ade fire. at one time i like staying at the apartment...but most of the time....menyampah gak. ader sekali tuh....dunno sapa bodoh bangang gi bubuh kahak air lior kat button lift tingkat 13....erghh...GROSS kan!!!!! if im not mistaken, tingkat 13 takder umah...but still...yek yekkkk!!!! i need to check on my terrace application...hopefully they dont left out my name.

Any given day

I've skewed my intial plan from lesser books and more Quran during Ramadhan. Just finished the final installment of Shopaholic books..The Sister story..it seems like Sophie Kinsella need to move away from the character and storyline as it is quite predictable after the 3rd book. I'm quite annoyed with the character as she's doesn't really emphasize on the evolving character..same ol Becky...it's just irritating..Last week, while waiting for my biz partner to arrive in KLCC, i went up to Kinokuniya just to browse around some books and I stumbled upon a review of evidence presented in Da vinci Code...hehehe...i grabbed the book and went straight to the cashier and smiling my way back as if I'm the only person in the world who knew this theory..
Had the buka puasa in Shrooms..it was ok..hoping i can get oyster but instead took alot of shushi's..It seems like all major buffet provider are hiking up their prices due to fuel price..bunch of BS..To make things worst..it was Terawikh time..and 3 wannabe Idol ladies went up to the stage with their tight fitting clothes sings like it's in the pub..i was like..wtf..and here i am not going for the Terawikh...i hate break fast outside..had enough of buffets ,hotels food last, loud music and awful singing..guess they were too old to join AF or Idols
The other day, Mercy replied back with the form for volunteers job. Gosh, i'm having second thoughts to join the activities as 'm too tied up with my own work. They even invited me to come down to KLCC this week for fund raising which I declined diplomatically..giving some lame excuse..too many commitments this year..gonna join u guys next yr..hahahah..what a bull..It's been ages for me to do charity work. It was a piece of cake while i was in uni previously..but now..seems like I do not want to leave my comfort zone. Darn it man..I'll kick myself!! Wifey..already warned me..No overseas humanitarian effort..Only domestic ones..aiseyman. Thought I can hitch a free ride to Iran or Sudan and help people. Somebody told me last week, one of the volunteers was a Malaysian architect with zero knowledge on medicine, was sent to Aceh during the tsunami crisis..Now, he's spearheading the team to re-build Aceh. Now that's a contribution to humanity.. But, in the application form, there boxes to tick..Areas of expertise..hmmm..am not a doctor..not a skilled carpenter...not a emergency rescuer..crap!! I dun have basic skills for survival..All those Scout or cadet co-coriculum ( did i spell it rite) was useless...I was trained to survive in the corporate jungle..but not for this..Even my current skills in sales also useless...It's not like i'm gonna negotiate to implement enterprise resource mgt for the victims...But they do have boxes for PR, fundraising and IT..quite interesting..maybe i'll tick those..
Pakistan was ravaged by 7.6 richter scale...really shocked as if it was yesterday the tragefy in Turkey and Iran...now another one...Is it a sign? Only God knows...Al-Fatihah to all victims perished in the catastrophe.

2nd entry for today - takde keje ker??

LILIE, KO HARUS TGK GAMBOR AYAM YANG MENGGHAIRAHKAN ITU.

The good, the bad and the fugly

The Good
- Ramadhan has arrived, so I'm determined to cleanse myself and more prayers..Must not miss Terawih this time around coz the surau is in my block..No more excuses!! Hope to read the Quran more and lesser novels..So much good things to do in Ramadhan...heck..i'm getting credited even in my sleep...what a no brainer..Thank you God!!
- Fasting month will help me slim down a bit...i hope so...wishful thinking i suppose..but i'm determined to go for it..
- After reading Steve Jobs speech , i realise i dun want to settle for second...i need to search the one thing i'll be passionate about...so while i was on my way to my car today..i bump into the blue honda accord dude again...he'll be doing the same old chores every morning...washing his car..eventhough he's not working..retired probably..no stress..no worries..but i dun want to end up like him..Waiting the day Death come knocking on the door..live your life...So i've sent a mail to an NGO for volunteer jobs...

The Bad
- 3rd Quarter just closed and entering 4th Q...so I've got like 3 days of stress-free holiday.
- We lost the WaterGames event last weekend..not a single freakin prize...we were eating dust or might i say..lake water..even the MDC girls team whoop our ass...it was so humiliating...and to top it all..we didn't have a t-shirt at all...like the rest of the competitor
- We got 2nd place in the dragonboat event...only 2 teams competing in the 2nd heat..hehehe..sort of our consolation prize
- Need to watch out my spending this month as Raya is coming...too many nephews and nieces after the merger of 2 families...In uni, i thought merger and acquisition would lead to reduction of expenditure with lay-offs and increased productivity...but I can't fire my anak buah..and i don't see any diffrence in efficiency..Probably..these are the teething problem when major companies merged...

the Fugly
- Most of the deal last quarter was not reflected in my ledger..Drouble crap!!...I want my commission damn it...Ooopss..bulan posa...have patience..cool...cool
- ceteris paribus....

061005

:: hr ni extra ngantuk + penat coz pagi tadi bertungkus lumus buat keje.

:: Perbezaan WP1 and WP3

WP1 - lift kat umah berenti at almost every floor utk pick up org
WP3 - most of the time zaaasssss dr tingkat 11 terus ker G

WP1 - kena keluar dr umah at least half an hr before swipe in
WP3 - boleh keluar dr umah 15-20 mins before swipe in

WP1 - jammed giler baban - pergi dan balik
WP3 - clear giler baban - pergi jer, balik kekadang

WP1 - esp for fasting month, ramai yg nak balik on the dot 4.30
WP3 - esp for fasting month, hanya org2 spt NUR IZYANI ZAKARIA jer nak balik 5.30ptg (lps tu ngadu kena bukak pose dlm keter plak)...which is the minority.

:: smalam after work gi param kat bangi...byk lagi yg tak bukak...sajer jer gi jejauh sbb supirnya adaaa. salu org 1st day pose nak makan besor, but not for us. for myself roti john jer pehtu powww munchkin nyer peha ayam bbq. tak sedap sgt roti john but still i like it. nanti nak beli yg kat p2 sedap giler2 tp tak tau la tahun ni dia jual ker dak. munchkin plak beli roti warisan (roti inti daging balut ngan kulit popiah n goreng), kebab and bbq chicken wing. beli kuih putu bambu and tembikai setengah biji. balik umah tinggal buat air longan jer. susahhhnyerr nak buat air longan ni. utk ramadhan this yr, munchkin kata tak yah masak utk buka sbb dia tak nak makan nasi...ngeh ngeh ngeh....senang keje makcik (tapi increment utk COHA masih perlu dipertimbangkan yachs). just masak malam utk sahur jer.....lalalalalala. mlm ni ingat nak buat ayam goreng kunyit utk sahur ker nak buat ikan bilis tumis belacan and cili api. hmmmmmmmm. anyway, cheeky bites updated. kalau ader gambor yg blur2 sket tuh mintak mahap yer sbb semua amik guna tepon jer. malas nak pakai kamera...kena berwayar2 plak bila nak transfer.

Tuesday, 041005

:: 1st of all, i wanna welcome iffah to this blogging world. dah duduk jauh2 tuh rerajin la update blog, at least member2 kat sini terasa dekat.

:: on travelling, we havent decide where to go. nak try tgk korea or hong kong. kalau tak leh decide gak mmg karambunai ler. tp if possible mmg nak sangat gi bali (masih mode keciwa). nak SHOPPING!!!!! chech this out --> my supposed to be shopping list. of course not all la kan...ader la a few small small items tu.

:: on bajet 2006...hmmm
~ bonus - expected. infact i was preparing for the worst which is 1/2 mth or tak dpt langsung. ok la tuh drpd takder kan
~ increment for I*KA - yg ni mmg quite shocking. tak expect langsung. takder rumours pun pasal increment ni...alhamdullillah
~ COCA COLA - TAK DAPAT!!! expected pun. dah dgr rumours psl those yg dok kuarters tak dpt. kalau ikutkan mmg la tak puas hati kan...mcm mana derang ni define COCA COLA? true cost of living termasuk house rental tp just cut jer la portion house rental tuh and increasekan la house allowance. takper lah...bukan rezeki. tanyer lid...masa time dia dulu semua org dpt...tp dolu2 COCA COLA 30 hinggit jer....govt servant pun sket jer kot.

ader yg cakap baik keluar jer dr kuarters tuh and menyewa..banyak rugi oooo. hmm...let me see...
hse allowance - 210
coca cola - 150
allowance pindah putrajaya - 150 (dibayar bila our office move to putrajaya until mac 2006 max, dpt la merasa beberapa bulan b4 dpt kuarters)
so kat sini dah rugi 510 (until Mac 2006)!!!! banyak gak kan. tp takper lah...i like it here. selesa. dekat. etc etc.

p/s: erk...govt servant dpt COLA...not-so-desperate hsewife takde increment COHA ker? ihihih...just joking dear!!!

:: smalam pilih WP baru. so start bulan pose esok masuk keje 7.30 - 4.30. mmg harus jgn tidor lepas sahur yerr!!! lps raya back to normal working hr kot...but i think i wanna change to wp2. tetiba rasa mcm lama sgt plak nak tunggu 5.30 tuh.

:: anyway, ni lah dia snow white zett...PUTERI DINI DAHLEA. comelkan....

bali oh bali

:: musnah harapan hancur lebur berkecai berderai. there goes my bali shopping spree. both of us already bought a package to bali end of this november. as per yesterday, we plan to just proceed with the package sbb rasa mcm ok kot. tp lepas check ngan our travel agency, it seems like everybody is cancelling their trip. my travel agent tu pun tak boleh nak bagi recomendation to proceed or not. it is for us to decide. dia cuma cakap ramai yg cancel. lepas pikir2 balik...ok lah cancel la jugak lgpun i'm sure bila gi sana nanti utk holiday sure ader rasa takut kan. bukan holiday namanyer tuh kalau dah takut2. nasib baik travel agency bagi refund...tp air ticket diapun tak sure boleh bagi 100% refund ker tak sbb tiket dah beli. we are not goin to take the refund tp just nak tukor destinations. punyer lah susah nak pikir destination kat overseas mana yg best sbb dlm kapla otak ader Bali jer so end up we might just be goin to nexus karambunai sabah. ok lah tuh (dalam nada yg masih keciwa).

:: check ngan asadi, she went bali last august. the hotel that we book sama tpt ngan dia. and dia cakap tpt bombing tuh mmg just around the corner.....mmg tpt dia jalan2 makan angin...jimbaran tu plak mmg tpt derang akan bawak kiter makan seafood. arghhhhhhhhhh...kukeciwaaaaa.

I came across this blog last week and one of the entries talk about living your life...

Text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered at Stanford University on June 12, 2005.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.

And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.

Let me give you one example:
Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

My second story is about love and loss.I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I retuned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

My third story is about death.
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.

This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish."

It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

I have the tendencies to update this blog once in a fortnight..Well at least, the madam are able to keep this blog running..

On current affairs
- Rita did not reach level 5 as expected. A big relief to the yanks out there..especially dubya..Who might he blame it this time..Mother earth? We're not suckers..

On technology
- I bought a wireless router yesterday in OU. It wasn't the cheapest in town but no time to drive down to Low Yat and bargain like crazy. It's just 20 bucks difference and I got a free lousy speaker costing around 20 bucks..but the towkey slapped a RM 68 price tag on the speakers..and mentioned its good bargain...hah..who's he kidding with..I'm a geek. Anyway, went back and hooked up the router to the adsl modem..put on the cd and let it rip..and the annoying trying and error begun..Macho guys like me dun read manual..just wing it..After tinkering several hours with the gadget i gave up..its not the router problem..something wrong with my wireless setting..No wonder i can't surf in starbucks yesterday...Then i remembered, i went to my frens office last friday and he did some tinkering around my thinkpad to log into his network. Now, everything was so screwed up...This morning, i called up helpdesk..and holler for help...the easiest way to resolve technical issues..we have people to do it for you..I did not mention to the tech lady wat i did last friday with the settings..standard tak nak ngaku salah...it wasn't me kind of remarks...She did some miracle and it works...Anyway, one problem solved...went back to day..and try to run the router installation again...It's not working!!..WTF!!..I'm gonna sue the towkay in OU, he sold me faulty router..or incompatible router..or wateva wrong with it...as long as its not my fault..hehehe...Finally, after several try and error method..i realize i keyed in the wrong streamyx user id...gosh..wat an idiot...its only azi*ul@streamyx...without the dotcom. TM should standardize the formatting..not my fault....again..blame it on others..esp GLCs. Now, i'm blogging on my bed with p2p running concurrently and reading the news..wooohoooo...- Not sure whether SmartTag falls under this category..or maybe i'm a bit late to follow the trend...but anyways..my another new toy is the TnG Tag..pretty kewl stuff..ahaha..so used to the coins...jakun sey

On health
- Due to Yani's remark on my lovehandle...I've enrolled myself for the MSC Watergames 2005.. So i had to sacrificed my weekends to sweat it out at the Putrajaya Lake.. I'm taking the 2 sculls, 4 sculls and dragonboat event..how bout that!!Felt like studying in Harvard and joined the rowing team..Surely, i can manage to lower down by several kilos...hehehe..unless my beloved wife cooks sabotage my good looks again...- Today, I went to usj for a go-kart games with our business partner..Now, i realized, i drove like a makcik...even the girls drove faster than me..crap..I think something wrong with the kart...Not enough air maybe..or no downward force..or lack of balancing..or anything but me..It was fun...manage to do spin on the tarmac..oversteering and over excited i guess.

On work-
Work sucks, wat else to expect..no need to flame on others..never ending story

On sport- Selangor Rules!!! I never bothered watching the malaysian football..except last week while i was back at home..watching the FA finals...Its been a while watching football with my dad and mum..the excitement..the company..the coffee..the argument betw my parents on small stuff..Those wonder years..man..i really miss those good ol'days..Anyway..Red Giant won again..for wateva cup..i basically just jumped into the bandwagon and joined the excitement..dialled Tigana's hp number and tried to rub it in with him..he'd do the same if Perak won anyway..so wat the heck..in your face dude!!

:: went to matta last saturday and got ourselves a package. do u know that goin to a 5* resort in state S is much much more expensive than goin to a 5* resort in country I. very very expensive!!! A is planning to go to country M next yr. his brother is working there and coming home for good next yr. so she planned to pay a visit to that country b4 the brother came home. so, me muka tak tau malu cakap kat A nak ikut jugak. lgpun the three of us, A, B and me mmg dah lama plan nak pegi vacation bersama2. by the way, A dan B disini adalah tidak sama spt A dan B diatas...ahahaha.

Bush and Kat

my journey

:: i suddenly felt a bit down after a visit frm mr z. mr z used to be my colleague when i was in the energy section. for promotion purposes he is now transfered to bah. istiadat, j*m. nope...i'm not worried abt the promotion since i know i'm gonna get mine the earliest early next year or the latest the year after (correct me if im wrong lilie). so kenapa nak down?? JOB SATISFACTION!!! mr z mcm seronok jer kat tpt baru dia...yer lah handle event2 negara...sesuai la dengan lelaki. and he told me that 3 of our frens frm batch 2002 kena remain at this ministry even after promotion (me batch 2003, mr z batch 2001). as for me, i dunt mind staying but pls do some internal job rotation. kalau ikut dasar k'jaan pun job rotation mmg kena ada after a few yrs but it is not being practiced here. tetiba rasa mcm nak berenti....actually dah lama dah rasa mcm nak berenti kerja...tp thinking bukan senang nak dapat keje gomen ni and giler ker apa nak berenti at times unemployment yg makin meningkat ni!!! let me share wif u my journey in the working world....

:: masa final year degree, dah mula cari kerja. of course cita2 asal nak keje kat company yg besar2. and serius masa tuh tak tau pun apa itu P*D. my roomate A yg citer pasal P*D ni. so kalau dah dua2 rumet dok sibok isi borang spa...kita pun join la sekali. 2001, both of them dapat attend the exam but not me. why?? i call spa...dia cakap tak layak...WTF!!! hello my cgpa was like *** laaa!!! tp dalam hati pikir ni mesti kes salah isi borang. anyway, A and C didnt make it to the next round. habis degree carik kerje lagi and alhamdullillah my unemployment period is just less than 2 months. i got a job as a research analyst here. job position mcm gempak...gaji pun mmg market rate for degree holder. tapi kerja??? i wont elaborate further...all i can say boring!! plus i just cant accept the company practice - no increment for non-technical staff...WTF!!! bukan la takde langsung but frm what i heard frm the seniors....jarang2 sekali!! during my one and a half year stay there of course i keep on looking for new job opportunities and again isi borang spa. masa tuh tak tunggu iklan kat newspaper dah....main hantar jer kat semua big big company. and my aim masa tuh...for my 2nd job i want it to be BHD. so finally dapat call from here utk attend exam. tak ingat la the exact position but its abt financial planning. so i make it to the next level which is the presentation....i remember masa on the way balik dari presentation, i got a call frm them and i make it to the third round. TQ kat MMU sbb banyak giler buat class presentations. this time of course the interview...and finally....I GOT THE JOB!!! but i reject the offer...giler kan....dah dapat keje kat situ tapi pegi reject. why? 1st it is a contract basis for two years...kena amik exam CFP (6 levels) then baru permanent. 2nd it is financial thingy....i scored pretty bad in my financial paper...ahahahha. i knew this job is abt financial thingy but then sajer play along with the game nak tgk whether im really good or not. 3rdly masa time ni tgh sibok2 dgn P*D thingy...tp tak ingat at which stage....rasanyer tgh prepare utk interview kot. kirenyer masa ni KUBERSERAH jer lah. and Alhamdullilah dapat P*D. nak masuk P*D ni pun mcm nak giler stages dia...yg tensen is the 2nd stage - assesment kat terengganu. punya lah jauh buat assessment kalau tak dapat mmg kukeciwa. so now, here i am in this ministry. my 1st posting in the energy section...pretty tough becoz everything is so technical. lepas dpa...went back to the same ministry but kat development unit handling the ministry projects. i remember masa 1st few days after dpa tuh...one of the hr staff request me not to show my pretty face kat my ex-big boss in energy section. apsal yerk???? sbb big boss tuh dunno that im back...kalau dia tau he wud request me return to that section but dev unit amat memerlukan org. yg kelakar nyer one of the clerk overheard our conversation and the rumours spread...."cik sha***** tak leh tunjuk muka kat dato' sbb dato' tak suka dia and dato' tak nak dia balik masuk bahagian tuh"....WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aduhhhh!!!!! jatuh saham aku!!!! so i asked my friend to help me clear the rumours and explain frm A - Z to that clerk. eiii....kelakar pun ader...geram pun ader!!! so apa yg kurangnyer dev unit?? takder yg kurang....very interesting and challenging. i rather not talk abt my work in my blog. u never know who is reading it at this very moment. sekian terima kasih abt my working adventure.

:: on a lighter note, smalam gi ikea...hiihihhi....kalau ikut plan asal nak pegi ahad ni but since hubby dearie pun tak keje smalam....so balik on the dot and ikea here i come. bought a few things and amik katalog bukan 1 tapi 3. one for myself, one for sista in trg and one for parents in alor setar. since dah brought fwd plan ikea to yesterday so sunday we just stay at home unless hubby dearie decided to go to ikea again. a note to hubby dearie - biar menyesal beli jgn menyesal tak beli - thihihihihihi. so the plan for this saturday plak nak gi MATTA FAIR and look for a vacation package. he wanted to go to B in country I....but she insist on G in country A but he and she might end up goin to state S which is the original plan...ahahaha.

adios

The long and short

I took MC today...the 3rd for this year I guess...probably once every quarter end. This is when you felt depressed,stressed and tired. I called up to my customer in Perak to postpone my presentation tomorrow..just no mood to do presentation..sheesh..
It has been a hectic week with soo many things to be looked upon..places to go..meetings to attend..customer to follow-up..Last tuesday..as I was watching House..my business partner called up at 11pm to get RM 120K discount!! WTF...What can i do in the middle of the nite to give you discount..If its my company..i wont do it anyway..we end up arguing for this deal till 12am...After much pushing and shoving and a bit diplomacy...we both gave up and came up with another idea so both of us in a winnning position..I sent an email to my team to re-propose the hardware specs with another config and urge them to get me the quote by 12 noon Wenesday.
Come Wednesday..I barked on my team to get the config up and quote out like crazy..seems like the technical team was away for some on-site excursion..So by 11am, i haven't got anything in my hand and the partner is going to meet the Exec Director at 12.30pm...I've got like 1 1/2 hr to get this sorted out.While in the smoking room..thinking..hehehe..I bump into the product manager and asked if he can give me a further discount..The dude said..Do It!!..I called up the CEO and mention my commitment for further discount...he said..Ok..Not even a thank you..crap!!Then I made a mad dash to Putrajaya to meet another dude with another deal in Perak..to cut it the story short..I did not get both deals...Arghhhhhh!!!
The customer have a change of heart and wanted to have a different offering..which led me to believe some political power in the board in action...
Me and CEO hang out in Star*ucks till 6pm and smoked like crazy just to get over this frenetic issue. I called up my boss and mention the situation..he just kep quite..hopefully he understand..Nah..i guess i'm gonna get screwed next week business review...better be prepared for it..
So after too much nicotine in the afternoon, i had a sore throat and throbbing headache...and the long and short of the story today...I'm blogging in the middle of the day on my couch with the TV on...that's life

LILO - Late In Late Out

::smalam mc....demam...best giler ok....julung2 kali mc. but anyway, came to the office today and saw August punyer attendance report on my table. 1st report actually sbb baru guna swipe2. and i was late for like 11 times!!!! nak mampus....kalau guna punch card biasa sure kolor kad dah kena tukor hijau ni. nak bagi reason apa ni yer...the only reason that i can think of is "masa jam di tangan tidak sama dengan masa standard RTM".....aler terlambat seminit dua jer pun.....eiiiii benci betol laaa!!!! apsal tak leh guna sistem LILO erk....ader ker istilah LILO dlm dunia ni. ish.....kalau sayer ni jadi K*N, akan saya implement LILO system.

::saturday
penat giler....early morning gi jln tar. nak hantar baju kat kedai zai....and i made the biggest biggest mistake in my life. there i was trying to be friendly to kak zai "sakit kaki ker kak?" kak zai replied "tak lah..akak memang mcm ni...cacat...pakai kaki palsu"...erk...i was like...arghhhh "sorry kak saya tak tau". keluar je kedai terus kena bantai gelak ngan munchkin....and terus i called ad...i blame her for this!!!! she shud have told me earlier!!! then gi sogo beli few things for myself and munchkin...sogo ni tak pernah tak sale yer. lps dah cari baju utk MIL and SIL...terus menapak gi den wahab plak nak tempah baju melayu. munchkin wants something different...not like the usual cekak musang or teluk belanga baju melayu and coincidently ade design baru kat kedai dia. so ok ler tuh...ala2 design mnasir sket. the wedding that nite was ok....i was looking for any familiar faces (read:artis lerr)...tapi yg nampak cuma oldies2 jer...sharudin thamby, ridzuan hashim, datin orked abdullah, yusni hamid etc etc. sebab penat so both of us cabut awal...on the way nak pi keter baru le nampak awal beat tv. kol 10 lebih baru sampai....duh!!!

...and such

"Captain log 1740372 USS Enterprise, we are entering new galaxy...."

Always wanted to do that, coz I'm more a trekkie than jedi shit...i kinda dig the translation in bahasa when Captain Jean Luc Picard blabbering some mumbo jumbo science thingy like " ultra wave portal fusion force field" The translator dude might be bashing his head against the wall to get it translated...
I haven't been blogging for quite some time...just too tired to even switch in the thinkpad...working my arse off this month..quarter closing soon...gosh..the sleepless night, the nightmare, the early morning sms from boss and such

Work and such..
Sales jobs are not for any people..now i just realised that. My ex-VP already quit his job as business architect aka business development from a big outsourcing firm due to the unimaginable stress he had..2 yrs ago he had a panic attack and blacked out in project management meeting..i guess he don't want to go thru that again. Its just not worth it to sacrifice your life for something like this..he's guessing i've already quit too..but i told him, i'm gonna hang on awhile here..in away..its kinda fun...i loved hectic lifestyle..the constant running here and there..meeting new business partner..all the above and getting things done..it is such a thrill...one can say it's like ER meet Las Vegas tv series

Movies and such..
Finally finished Band of Brothers mini series..it was wayyyy better than Saving That Dude Private or wateva. Not much on war and shooting the germans stuff..just the drama..the people in it make it so interesting to watch. They interviewed the real survivors of Easy Company Platoon...and Capt Winters closing was the best quote ever in the whole story..." I'm not a hero, but I served in company of heroes"

Technologies and such..
Nokia Bluetooth sucks..I'm getting alot of "BT Server Error" or " Unable for Bluetooth Operation" after using the headset..it seems like most of the latest hp have these kind of problem..now I need to dig up my warranty..if there's any..hunn where did i put it..and claim for free firmware upgrade. Hopefully it works..
Auto transmission is the best human creation ever...add in Super ECT and i'm driving without any cramps and pain in the ankle. Somebody pls give the inventor a Nobel prize!!
My sis just called yesterday..the computer monitor blew again...Twice in 3 month..sheesh..You're killing me..now i've got like 3 broken monitors at home..what can i do with em? Tukun? Aquarium? Boat anchor?

Politics and such..
Hope I'm politically correct.

News and such..
Katrina will not be the favorite names for any would be parents. She basically trashed the whole place like nobody business. Now, conspiracy theorist already coming out new theory about the fall of an empire after major catastrophe, or theory on mother nature fighting back on civilization...i must not visit those sites..but it is very tempting

Health and such..
Yeah...i'm contemplating whether to join a gym or just buy myself a treadmill..with the ever increasing waistline..drastic action need to be done. I'm betting, this is all her conspiracy to sabotage my good looks..hehehe

Food and such..
Hunn..ur d bomb!! Ur the queen of cooking..look at me..i'm a living proof!!

Hobbies and such..
Just started the Shopaholic books...again..due to budget constraint this month..just can't afford to buy any manly books. Probably my next pay day..gonna get myself the Narnia series. Today, i finally able to taste the fruit of my labor for the past couple of month..We bought vases and planted daun cekur and pegaga...well, basically lid planted the ulam..i just take care of it everyday..Its kinda cool..sorta having our own small jungle at the balcony.."Me Tarzan, u jane!"

Ok..over and out..

biar menyesal beli jgn menyesal tak beli - part 2

received a call frm lid early morning yesterday...."umi buat nasik lemak ali"....i was like "hah?"...."beli kat mana"...."tak beli...umi buat"...i was like again "hah" then only i realised my father buat lawak.....nasi lemak ali is one of the popular nasi lemak in alor setar, pernah try sekali jer long time ago. nak beli nasi lemak ali ni most of the time u have to Q frm outside of the shop. but anyway, lid suh balik usj for breakfast but since i've already cooked meehoon goreng we only went there for our late lunch. hujan lebat....pukul 3 plus baru sampai usj and had that so called nasi lemak ali....hihhihi. plan asal after that late lunch nak ronda2 kat OU but after receiving a call frm my cousin...cancel. he is coming over to bring some kain frm palembang. hihihi....harus la tgk dulu kan.

so when he arrived wif his wife (the wife came frm palembang). tgk kain...ok fine...not my type...really not my type...so save duit...but hunny bunch sempat grab kain pelekat dua pasang. for me tak cantik pun and i dunno why everybody thought it is nice. but the material is something diff....not like the usual kain pelekat. then i call my sis in terengganu to ask her choice of colours...umi suh beli (suruh yer!!!)....i even told my sis that im not buying for myself coz the design is just not my type....bla bla bla...sista ask me to choose any colour that will make her look younger...duh??!!!! so tak nak mengkusut kan fikiran i just took her faveret green color...sort of like hijau lumut. umi dah amik one piece reddish color wif a matching jilbab (thats what my cousin's wife told us...jilbab....tak pernah plak guna word jilbab ni)...ok then so suddenly umi terminat plak kat satu ni greenish...goldish...yellowish colour ni (sorry couldnt figure out the colour)....and so suddenly...she got confuse...which one...reddish...or greenish yellowish....buy one or two...and so sunddenly....terdengar satu suara..."beli jer dua2....biar menyesal beli jangan menyesal tak beli"...ahahhaha.....and everybody was like...what???!!! hahahah....yerp....but lid kinda of agreed wif me...hihihihi. so aftermuchthinking umi decided to let go the reddish colour and take that greenish yellowish. heheheh.....and so so suddenly.....i tried that reddish color...and heheheh....i took it...and another so suddenly i take another one....i like green but too many green in my wardrobe already so amik kolor marron...hehehe....and officially...until today i have 10 pasang kain yg tunggu giliran untuk ditempah. and hubby dearie geleng kepala. lalallalalalalala...sekian

so this is the greenish....yellowish or goldish colour bought by umi

reddish with a matching jilbab and it is mine

marronish with a matching selendang and it is mine alsooooo
