Sleepy Morning

Isk..dunno why this morning i feel so sleepy.. maybe sbb last weekend dah dpt rest the whole days and night sampai pagi2 ni rasa ngantuk lagi.. I have some update, but currently cannot do it . erm, i guess i am quite slow in doing my job now. It was like a shock when suddenly u move from managing a small scale of people to monitoring 7x bigger scale... Hope i won';t dissapointed anyone with my slow motion pace..

Er..by the way, i found out about this link this morning. Just have to enter few info here and in few seconds this is what appeared: *wink* ^_^

Ika: You are a Brown Tiger

You are Brown Tiger, who get in touch with others with calm attitude.

Your character seem flexible and gentle, but you are actually someone who has their own opinion, and do not like to lose.
You are not scared of things.
You can steadily lead life to accomplish your goal.
You have the big sister sort of character.
People around you may push you to become their leader, but your sense of organizing people and action is not that strong.
You are confident, and can put to action with perseverance and guts.
You are dedicated to many things.
You can carry out things calmly and steadily at your own pace.
You don't worry about things so much, and possess the talent to combine many factors together to create a new thing.
You are well balanced person.
Nevertheless, you possess feminine atmosphere and are dependent person.
You lack self-support, and therefore you will be good at working in the back-ground.

You are weak on favors, and can not turn them down.
Once married, you will stay at home and be obsessed with children's education.

CacaMarba

It was raining last tuesday evening when i received a phone call from my boss asking me to bring all the information i have on the manpower planning to Wisma Telekom (next to Menara Telekom). By the time i went out, the rain was heavier. Pakai payung pun hanya bahagian atas pinggang je yg selamat, kat bawah dah lencun habis.. my main concern was my the-only-best-condition-shoes i currently have. Nampak gaya kena redah air hujan tu ada harapan beli kasut lain. And for the first time, i went back home without my handbag because it was already dark and it takes time for me to walk back to the office. Esok tu dtg ngan sehelai sepinggang macam ofis tu sebelah rumah jer.

I was too tired on the Wednesday, tapi still kena maintain siapkan keje. Sampai business plan (part 1) has been printed, fotostated, binded and submitted to Business Plan Committy barulah aku rasa lega sket. Tu pun tgk boss yg dah tak brape betul.. Die nak amik cuti 2 hari. Thursday morning i was too tired to go to the office, so i took urgent leave but then of course with my phone kept on ringing all the morning. But one thing i hate about taking leave is that when u come back to the office and find out that your mailbox is full. Tambah plak hari ni kena submit weekly report for centre's performance and touch-point initiative project.. Sometimes, working 5-days-a-week can be quite tiring.. and working at the HQ level u will never be stopped being disturb.

I read Hany's blog today.. waa seems like she gonna get new people in her family soon. May Allah be with you, and insya-Allah I pray that everything will be fine-the mother and the baby. Actually watching and seeing most of my friends with 'additional high belly' (pregnant) and some of them already have babies do attack my nerves. Hohoh dah tua sgt ke aku ni? :P I even asked some colleagues 'adakah saya ini kurang menarik?" and one of the answer was I will look better if i put down some weigth... opsss... kak shiqin pun ari tu kate makin bulat ek? ahhaha aiyaaa, it suddenly become so hard for me to go on diet.. tak boleht ahan laa..hari2 makanan semakin best dan semakin sedap dan semakin lazat..ekekek

apa2 pun.. i am happy to see my friends hidup bahagia.. mm apa lagi nak ckp yer..dah petang nak balik la.. malam nanti boleh pk nak buat apa esok2 kan..ok all, selamat hujung minggu sampai jumpa lagi..

oo, by the way, i'll have a hi-tea kat Seri Kampong (Bangsar) tommorrow.. (makan lagi.. kui kui kui)..

Business Plan

I was looking for something on the net when I came across this article. Well, looks like it is much suitable for the company's management at the time being. So, sempena utk semua yg tgh sibuk membuat business plan 2005 (esp. for Telekom's staff as I knew that currently everyone is working for it), i would like to share this article with all of you. Bolehlah juga nak kasi kat boss esp. yg suka sgttt ajak meeting even mende kecik2 pun meeting, lepas tu waste a lot of time kat bilik meeting with too many irrelevant ideas.

Happy reading and good luck in doing your business plan!;)

Thinking strategically
By Terry Goodyear

Ask most executives about business planning and they will tell you about the weeks of agony that merely culminate in hours of unsatisfactory meetings, prevarication and delay. While this may be a surprise, given that excutives have all the necessary statistics, data and report at their disposal, many still fumble their way through, which isn't the best way forward for companies. What's worse is that many companies go into the new financial year without their financial plans signed and sealed. The problem actually boils down to the lack of strategic thinking in decision-making.

To further illustrate this point, consider this question: If there are two companies that are in the same industry, producing the same goods and services, and are the same size in terms of assets and capital, what will determine the relative success of these two companies in two to five years' time? The answer? Ideas. Ideas that can be converted into business plans or propositions that in turn will enable the company to compete and grow.

In our post-industrial world, organisations are increasingly judged by their innovations, not their output. Still, converting ideas into sound business propositions is not as simple as it sounds. Many a time, ideas get lost in the organisation's so-called black holes, be it the perception that the top management will not like that particular idea, or that an idea — no matter how good it looks on paper — will not be workable, or the unwillingness to change the way things are done (the typical if-it-is-not-broken-why-fix-it attitude).

Compounding this are the countless meetings to discuss ideas that, at the end of the day, may only hit a brick wall. In fact, according to a recent study conducted by SCQuARE International in the UK, British businesses lose an estimated £12.3 billion a year on managerial time spent on ideas that are going nowhere and failed business pitches. On top of this, £10.8 billion is lost on unproductive meetings and £6.2 billion on the time-wasting effects of office politics.


The survey too found that two-thirds of the managers polled say they could save 10% or more of their time if they could avoid unproductive meetings. This is equivalent to 24 working days a year! At the same time, it was found that almost half the respondents waste the same amount of time on ideas that go nowhere.

Still, without ideas and innovation, a business cannot change and certainly cannot move forward. SCQuARE International's report reiterates the importance of innovation succinctly: Without innovation, a company will simply remain as it is, stagnate or die. Good management teams take a business forward through their ability to innovate and change. Given all the time spent on ideas that go nowhere, it is not enough simply to have a good idea. Any idea will clearly need to be sold through the system. And this is where SCQuARE International and the programmes they offer come in useful.

SCQuARE is a framework that ensures that a business plan, proposal or idea is thought through, authenticated and then structured in such a way that it has the greatest chance of success when delivered. Ross Lovelock and Roy Ashworth founded SQuARE, formerly known as Magnolia House, in 1993. Lovelock comes from a marketing background and has been dealing with fast- moving consumer goods companies for 20 years, with stints at Nestlé, Milk Marketing Board and PepsiCo International. Ashworth has 35 years of experience in finance, IT and was a systems specialist before co-founding SCQuARE. In 2000, the company was incorporated as SCQuARE International Ltd (SIL).

By using the SCQuARE methodology, one is able to sieve through the given information and reduce it to the critical issues that then allow decisions to be made quickly and decisively. The time taken to make decisions as such can be reduced by 50% to 90%. SCQuARE makes managers think before they act. Managers are taught to question conventional methods, they learn to understand key issues faced and the underlying causes, and are provided the structures and stimulus to explore creative solutions. SCQuARE guides participants through a step-by-step analysis of the situation, questioning and finding solutions from the questions. SCQuARE reads as:
S: Setting or strength — this can take the form of figuring out what is your aim or objectives.
C: Changes or complications — these could be a new set of circumstances, opportunities or threats. "C" also stands for consequences.
Qu: Question — this is the pivotal question that comes from the analysis of the above two factors. From here, one determines what is the next course of action in order to meet the objectives.
A: Answer — the answer to the pivotal question. Using the SCQuARE process, this answer will include a summary of the strategies to deal with the issues.
R: Recommendations — this is the action needed to implement the strategies in the answer.
E: Evidence — this is proof to show that each action is justified and the benefits that each action will generate.

SIL's global clients include Tesco, Pfizer, Marks & Spencer, Avis, PepsiCo, British American Tobacco (BAT), Nestlé and Philips, among others. SCQuARE has been in Malaysia since 1997 but as early as 1995, SCQuARE was introduced as part of a programme to impart the methodology to all BAT subsidiaries in Asia- Pacific. The founders of SCQuARE realised the potential and set up a regional office in Kuala Lumpur, which is headed by its managing director Philip Das. The regional office is designed to meet the growing need for strategic consultancy services in Southeast Asia. According to Das, clients in Malaysia include Akzo Noble (Regional) Danone, Telekom Malaysia, Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission, Multimedia Development Corp, some government agencies and multinational corporations.
The company's plans for Malaysia include broadening its local client base and tapping into local multinationals with significant business interests in China. Although the timing of SIL's entry into Malaysia could not have come at a worst possible time — at the start of the regional financial crisis — today, with the local and regional economies on the mend, there is optimism for the market.
There is an enormous appetite for learning here, what more the challenges brought by the Asean Free Trade Area. This means that companies that cannot move swiftly will be left behind. Today's companies need to execute strategies with speed and they need to be focused. Besides strategic decision-making skills, SCQuARE is invaluable for all management levels as it allows executives to think. It not only allows top management to focus on leadership but also creates a new set of thinkers and leaders that in turn will help narrow the leadership gap. SCQuARE conducts three to four-day courses, which also include workshops and learning sessions as well as support services. For more info check out www.scquare.com.my

Sekali lagi mencuba..

Hi all,
This is the third day i try to update my blog. Do not know why i face so much difficulties this time to update my blog but i believe that Allh knows better. I am so proud today to find out that actually i am in a class with a great person. Never thought that the person is actually a well-known someone in the book writers. So, here i am with the 'typing' i did last few days. If there is any missunderstood, may Allah forgives me in my mistakes.. Wa''alahualam.

Salam buat semua teman.
Apa kabar agaknyer kwn2 semua? Lama betul rasanya tak menaip di sini untuk sesuatu yg bererti. Alasan yg biasa didengar, tak lapuk dek hujan tak lekang dek panas itulah dia kesempitan waktu di ofis. Al-maklumlah, tempat baru kenalah amik ati boss dulu. Plus, sekarang pukul 7.30 mlm mmg dah wajib kena keluar dr menara telekom memandangkan projek pancaran satelit demi Malaysia Gemilang sedang diadakan sampailah 22 September nanti.. Terima kasih buat kwn2 yg bertanya, terasa ade juga yg menghargai.. ehhe sorry sgt2 sbb tak sempat nak update buat jangkamasa yg agak lama..

Rindu rasanya dgn kwn2.. agak2nyer u all pun rindu kat kite la kan sbb lama tak dgr khabar.. sampai ade seorg kwn kate, kalau tak dpt pjg2 pun tulislah sikit2 at least kitorang tau ape yg berlaku.. uhu, terima kasih ..terasa sayu sikit bile dengo ade org amik berat pasal kite ni..terharu sungguh.. apa2 pun ttg tempat baru ini, as how good it is as compared to previous place, still I really miss the FOOD (especially:P) masa kat Bkt Mahkamah dulu..and miss the friends I have there as well (mostly missing from my heart:( )

Mmg byk sgt yg berlaku sampai tak menang otak nak piker, dan tak cukup tgn rasanya nak tulis satu2 ape yg terlintas. Mungkin agaknya otak tu dha lama dibiarkan beku, tiba2 mendapat impak yg nampaknya al-Hamdulillah dah menjana semula akal pemikiran.. Sepertinya terasa zarah2 darah mengalir pantas ke otak dan sel2 otak berkembang, bercambah dan bertambah dgn sgt cepat .. ‘Mesin’ anugerah Allah ini nampaknyer dah kembali berfungsi semula membuang karat2 dlm fikiran..

Oh, terlalu byk pula melalut.. Sekadar nak membawa kupasan ttg masyarat.. Aku tgk ada beberapa org kwn yg masih rajin update blog, ade juga nampaknyer dah dilamun angin cinta.. Al-Hamdulillah atas kebahagiaan kalian... Mmg cinta itu buat manusia rasa indah.. Dan bagi yg tak bercinta lagi, atau sedang menunggu cinta.. Cinta Allah itu masih mekar menunggu utk diperhati dan dihayati.. Cinta yg tak pernah berhenti keindahannya…

Hopefully that I can give some input here. First of all, sebelum memulakan bicara I am sorry with this kind of new concept I practise in writing blog. Pls understand that my intention is not to back-fire someone else input, just to share a little bit knowledge I gained from HIM, the Almighty Allah SWT. In this current and modern world, kita perlu berhati2 dlm meniti kehidupan. The reason is that mengambil byk hadis2 drpd Rasulullah SAW ttg kemusnahan dan kesesatan berleluasa yg akan berlaku di akhir zaman.. Sbb tu kita disuruh berpegang sungguh2 pada (pertama) Al-Quran dan (kedua) Sunnah. Pernah juga aku dgr pendapat ttg perlunya berada dan berbaik dgn 4 org lagi yg bersama2 kita di atas kebenaran.. Nikmat menjadi seorg Islam sebenarnyer terlalu indah sbb hanya org yg pernah menjadi seorg Islam tau ttg perasaan indah dan tenang yg dirasai. Seperti perasaan cinta, hanya org yg pernah bercinta tau macam mana nak describe rasa tu.. Dan tak mustahil juga, walau dah putus cinta berkali2, pasti ada perasaan ingin kembali merasai perasaan itu. Begitulah indahnya Islam itu.

Kalau ada yg mengatakan Islam tidak adil, tidak relevan atau tidak bebas/merdeka.. Maka maafkanlah mereka atas kejahilan mereka. Walaupun bergunung harta dimiliki, dan bergulung kelulusan mereka kecapi. Sbbnya mereka masih belum mampu berfikir dgn waras dan seimbang. Itulah namanya hentam semberono tanpa membuat kajian terlebih dahulu. Jgn lihat org yg hanya ada ilmu dunia shj, kdg2 lagaknya dan sijil2 nya sahaja lulusan agama tapi caranya, bahasnya, fikirnya entah dr kupasan dan fahaman mana yg dicari..

Tugas kita untuk memperbetulkan kembali dgn cara2 spt. mendapatkan kelulusan lebih tinggi atau sama dgn org tersebut, dan menjadi seorg yg terkemuka dlm dunia. Lepas tu bolehlah buat apa yg kita nak buat, macam Henry Ford buat. Tapi, itu mmg sukar kan.. So, tugas utama ialah kita mencari ilmu dan mengislahkan seberapa byk kwn2 kita supaya dpt disampai2kan kepada org lain.. Berkongsi sedikit2 ilmu kita. Betul tak..

Sebenarnya, bukan Islam sahaja yg tak merdeka dan tak adil di bumi yg ‘bertuah’ ini.. Semua agama pun sama, kalau tak takkan ada kes bunuh satu keluarga saudara baru kerana menukar anutan dr Hindu ke Islam.. dan takkan ada kisah sukarnya saudara baru bila diherdik dan dibuang keluarga bila menukar kepada Islam di Malaysia.. Cuma, media tak mendedahkan perkara ini kerana bimbang berlaku rusuhan keagamaan.. Well, that so-called sensitive issues.

Bukan sedikit jumlah org yg membaca sebahagian shj ayat al-Quran Surah al-Baqarah ayat 226 (2:226) yg bermaksud: Tidak ada paksaan di dalam beragama .. KERANA kebenaran itu telah jelas dari kebathilan. Melihat dr konteks yg berbeza, ayat ini pun dah cukup untuk menyuruh mencari di mana keburukan Islam berbanding mana2 agama atau mana2 fahaman sekalipun .. Sesungguhnya, tidak ada walau satu pun.. Yg silap dan ada hanyalah fahaman dan sekatan yg dilakukan oleh tangan2 bernama manusia..

I guess the main point for us to do before launch attack on someone with such bad statement about Islam is to get to reason of the statement. On that basis, only then we know why they like to have bad impression about Islam. Maybe they were treated badly by that so-called muslims, or they found out about bad practise by ‘this’ muslims. In order to do that I believe the main point is that be brave and firm but stay calm and cool.. It is HARD to do, but then lets Allah help us to face and correct the perspective of Islam from the eyes of not even the non-muslims but the muslims as well.

Still, my knowledge is verrrryyyy limited. From HIM I came, and to HIM I return. Kalau ada kelemahan di atas apa yg saya katakana, maka kelemahan itu adalah atas diri saya yg masih belum cukup ilmu di dada. Kalau nak berdiskusi panjang, insya-Allah boleh jer.. Cuma utk saya tulis terlalu panjang, tak cukup masa pula. Harap2 kelak tulisan saya tidak menjadi fitnah kepada masyarakat. Wa’allahualam.

Looks like i have to pen-off (keyboard-off?) now.. So, hope to see me back in the future, insya-Allah. Take care all.. wasalam.

New Invention

A'uzubillahhiminsyaitan nirrojim..
Bismillahirrahman nirahim

Salam buat semua..
It has been quite sometimes since the last time i wrote something here. I thought that i could spend sometimes to share my thought with my fellow friends, but.. kitakan hanya merancang..

Oo yea, last time i mentioned about 'the creation of Hawa from the left rib of Adam' that was being stated in the Bible, not in the Holy Quran. Actually, in the Sahih Bukhari (one of the 5 largest/biggest hadith source) it was mentioned in 2 hadith(2 ayat) that state this:

Hadis #1: Narrator: AbuHurayrah
Reference: SAHIH AL-BUKHARI
Hadith_No: 7.113
Full_text: Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) said, "The woman is like a rib; if you try to straighten her, she will break. So if you want to get benefit from her, do so while she still has some crookedness."

Hadis #2: Narrator: AbuHurayrah
Reference: SAHIH AL-BUKHARI
Hadith_No: 7.114
Full_text:The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should not hurt (trouble) his neighbour. And I advise you to take care of the women, for they are created from a rib and the most crooked portion of the rib is its upper part. If you try to straighten it, it will break, and if you leave it, it will remain crooked, so I urge you to take care of the women.

This thing i found out in an article (click here to read the article). What was written there i believe is enough to clarify how and why i raised up this issue again in two-posting. I am not someone who is so knowledgable in the things about Islam, but i wish to share and get feedback from my friends who knew better than i do. In 1400 years, the muslims have been influenced with so many stories, narrations, mystic etc etc that sometimes we found it is hard to denied as it has been part and parcel of our culture; our blood and mind. To interfere with something new, i believe is not wrong as Rasulullah SAW as well came up with 'new religion' (as according to Ignorance Arab Quraish) as long as it does not at all fall out from The Holy Al-Quran. Wa'allahualam.

Ops.. my lunch time is over already. I got to go back to my work. So, utk semua take good care and wish u all the best. May Allah SWT always be with you, proctect you and guide you on the right path. Bye~~

Wasalam.

Simbolik

Salam buat semua.

Tak banyak yang nak aku perkatakan. I am quite 'busy' lately. Doing work and personal things. I was on leave yesterday. Seems like it is still hard for me to keep on updating my blog although with simple words (maybe the main reason is that i have a lotttt to think and to tell out..). Actually, i was thinking about writting something this morning but it turned out to be blog reading instead. Wow, looks like a 'friend' in this blog community has new admirer on his blog, the one that we were once called cikgu (since he was the first one introduce us about blogging..hehe:P) .

Sometimes i thought that i might actually have a syndrom (if i can call it by that name), or is it a special disease? I thought i might actually have a 'heart disease' the kind of disease mentioned by Rasulullah SAW as kecintaan kepada dunia, diri sendiri etc. part of it is riak kepada kelebihan diri, feel you are superior than anyone. But then when i found out about the article, i try to istigfar myself and try to see whether i have fall onto the criteria. Al-Hamdulillah. so far i managed to control myself. Then, what is it actually happening to me until i said i might have a syndrom? Well, i am alwayss LOVE to debate with people as i believe it is not just to see whether u-are-wrong-and-i-am-right, but it is far beyond that. I believe that I do not know much and thru this kind of discussion i might learn something good for my knowledge. I love to ask people a lot of question until i feel there is no more doubt inside my heart. If i knew something, i would like to share it as well who knows actually i am getting the wrong-side of information and if i do not know anything, i will say "i don't know about it" and keep on listening to whateva being told. There are few people who feel offended with my way (and i am sorry about that, it is not my intention to look little/down on people). Maybe the syndrom is actually a gift from Allah SWT as I am not going to talk too much as i need the strength to talk as few as possible and as whateva needed only. Hehe, you may want to knw this but some of my friends already saw it by their eyes: my body temperature suddenly drop, i felt cold and shaking the whole body. This is most of the time happen when i am in the religious discussion.. Maybe itulah peringatan dr Allah SWT untuk diri sendiri.. :)

I have just learn that kejadian Hawa dr tulang rusuk kiri Adam a.s was never mentioned in the al-Quran (not sure about the Hadis, if anyone has it can you give it to me?). It is just mentioned in the al-Quran that Hawa dijadikan dr Adam but from and how is not mentioned. The statement that Hawa is from tulang rusuk was mentioned in the Bible. How true it is, i am still looking forward for the evidence and will come back to all of u once i found it out. :)

Oh, heard that Telekom Malaysia is going to work 5-days-a-week, from 8.30pm - 5.30 pm (duhh! lewatnyerr.. but the saturday is going to be a WONDERful day). Still, i have a lot to say. But, still my time is limited. Wonder how come some people has sooo much of their own time and still get thingss done while some people has no time but still cannot get things done (just like me!).

So, i shall say goodbye and hope to see all of you back in one piece next week. Bye all!!
~~Selamat Pengantin Baru to Ecah & Ayiel also.. ~~

Working Life

Yesterday I watched 3R: issue on working life, in which I already planned to watch as the ads showed this time issue was about hectic and busy working life until you have no time for your ownself. Indirectly terasa jugalah dengan isu kali ni, but then after watched it out I realized that it seems to be a norm in our community for working so hard. Something so funny about this ‘talk’ was the 3 characters represent by Cik Minah Control : a woman who cannot trust anyone in doing works and she wants to do everything herself; Cik Minah Gila Kerja : a woman who always has no time for herself, her family and her friends. All in her mind is work, work and work only; and lastly Cik Minah Pemalu : a woman who is sooo shy and mix among her limited number of friends known from her workplace only. The way of managing each lifestyle is by make a list and try to distribute the works among colleagues while not doing things alone, divide time to work and time for personal matters as work is not as important as the people around you that you love, and try to join organizations such as kelas memasak, badminton, yoga etc. where you can meet and have new friends and share your hobbies. Interaction within group is easier to start than face-to-face conversation.

By the way, a thank for my friend for the courage and support that made me take another step in gaining more knowledge. It seems to be ‘centuries’ for me to fulfil my dream of doing it. So funny isn’t it someone like me suddenly said that I a afraid to go on. Al-Hamdulillah, maybe I can’t contribute much due to my limited knowledge and short term memories but hopefully I will gain as much as possible. I am no better than you friend. Thank you for leading the way for me, at least I knew someone who is really doing things that I wish I could do earlier.

Yeah, it is not good to depend on somebody to make ur own decision. But, sometimes the feeling of inferiority or not good enough make us feel better (at least, if not that comfortable) to have someone we knew to support and show us the strength to face the world. I might look tough, but I am a human being who still have the ‘what is..’ thought in my mind.. Opss, it is already time to go back.. So, friends hope that I can keep on updating myself with this blog as I have a lot to share and a lot to tell you out there. However, in the end it will be in the Hands of The Almighty Allah SWT to determine everything.. kan;)

Bye all..

Tanya Sama Itu Hud-Hud

Lepas PHSM (Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam) yg ambil puisi raja ali haji, kini satu lagi plak epik/mitos/lagenda terkenal tanah melayu PGL (Puteri Gunung Ledang) nak ditayangkan. hehehe nampaknyer ade org dah chop tajuk entry ni. Tapi, takpelah sekadar nak masukkan juga:

Hang Tuah: Kanda lupa cinta dinda seagung maya
Gusti Putri: Cinta kanda? Bukan semesta luasnya?
Hang Tuah: Masih kecil berbanding cinta dinda!
Gusti Putri: Tapi kanda ke mari juga
Hang Tuah: Laksana orang haus dahaga, berjumpa air satu telaga

p/s: Gusti Putri ialah Puteri Gunung Ledang.. jgn marah.. :p

Sekadar pertanyaan, sebenarnyer puteri gunung ledang tu mmg kekasih hang tuah ke? kenapa tak pernah tau dlm mana2 hikayat sebelum ni.. and puteri gunung ledang tu hanya mitos je ler semata2 ek? tapi, kenapaler tiapkali pi dok kat gunung ledang (esp. kat air terjun atas tu) bagi sesiapa yg perasan ade rasa yg sket 'aneh' kat situ?
mm mmg ada khabar angin kate hang tuah lepas bunuh jebat lari masuk hutan gunung ledang dan kemudian tak ditemui langsung.. cumanya kebenarannya, tak tahula..takde sape yg dpt memastikan..

kan best kalau org dpt selesaikan apa yg terbuku di hati dan bermain di fikiran..?? takkan aku nak tanya pada hud-hud plak kan.. ;)

Cuti lagi

Pagi tadi hujan lebat.. hampir2 je aku nak amik urgent leave bila tiba2 teringat hari ni byk janji utk hantar macam2 report kat org. In the end, dgn rasa malas aku pun bergeraklah utk pergi kerja.

Hmm..keje kalau cerite tak pernah habis, tak pernah juga tak sibuk dan tak pernah selesai2.. Cuma tekanan aku rasa, agak kurang dibandingkan dgn dulu. Maybe i have some free space for myself and i was not being 'indirectly tortured' for doing the works. AL-Hamdulillah, itu je lah dpt aku ckp buat masa ni. Tak tahuler esok lusa tetibe bosses buat hal plak.

Esok ade seorg lagi sedara kawin. So sekarang kena pulang dahulu. Balik kampung. Tak byk boleh cerite, sekadar ucapkan selamat berehat di hujung minggu utk semua.

Sampai jumpa lagi...

IMAM

Al-Hamdulillah in the end I was able to  have a complete phone, internet connection and pass card to move in and out from the office. And in the end as well, my profile has been updated (by the help of ITD Helpdesk of course). I thought I would have some time yesterday to update my blog but seems like I was having a forever-never-ending meeting. Have it ever happened to you before? You were having an important meeting; when u thought u want to come earlier than usual but it turns out to be late. U awaken 15 minutes earlier than usual time, and hope that u could went to the office at least 10 minutes earlier than usual, but the bus suddenly did not turn up at usual time, u turn out to be late, your bosses already headed to the meeting while u were just came into the office and the food u order for the meeting was not there at the moment everyone was already there. Well, that was what really happen yesterday, but I tried to calm myself. Dlm hati keep on berdoa hanya Allah sahaja yg tahu jgnlah mereka bising2. The day before the meeting I was being scolded by a manager for wrongly communicated things (it was not my fault due to adhoc meeting and changed in the agenda, but maybe it was my mistakes of not knowing how to communicate the changing agenda to other people) ; and the day after really in the very morning the superior /head of that manager sent email to my GM by including all the messages we delivered to each other telling him about what was happen and consult her to arrange things properly. Takpelah, cabaran dlm kerjaya. Kalau dok BC jaga centre usually that is what will be happened, everyone will blames u this and that. As one friend said, life can gives you a hundred reasons to cry but still u can give life a thousand reasons to smile. Apa2 pun, mungkin this is part of ujian Allah untuk menguji kesabaran.
 
 
O, I forget to tell you all that I read a book written by Abdullah Hussain: Imam, the winner of Hadiah Novel Nasional 1992/94. A great stuff not just for a hobby or leisure time, but knowledgeable! It is not just a novel about life, but more than that. As the judge comment, each episode has two functions: I learnt a lot from this book. Thou the story was mainly about the life of an Imam Masjid, perjuangan dan pembaharuan yg dibuatnya really make sense and it will be great if other Imams in Malaysia (secara khususnya) or all the Muslim leaders/imams as the whole mempraktikkan apa2 yg diperkatakan. Good also for the muslim leaders in the community, state or even national, as I believe most of us think just like him. and maybe it is good also for us, rakyat marhain biasa muslim and non muslim– boleh membuka minda dan pandangan kita ttg Islam..
 
Dunia itu penjara org mukmin. Bila kita terasa utk melakukan sesuatu perubahan ke arah kebaikan dan mengangkat martabat Islam kita pasti akan berhadapan dengan pelbagai halangan-samada drpd yg bukan islam sehinggalah kepada islam, dr sekecil2 peranan dlm masyarakat sehinggalah kepada pemimpin atau pihak yg berkuasa. Tapi bila nak buat jahat, takdelah susah sgt kan. Itulah ujian. Bak kata Haji Mihad (dlm novel Imam ni lah), perubahan itu penuh like dan cabaran; tetapi perubahan itu sendiri tidak dapt ditahan2. Perubahan itu laksana cahaya yang terkurung yang akan mencari jalan merembas keluar melalui rongga atau retak seseni apa sekalipun.
 
Oklah, my boss sits very near to me (we don’t have real place currently, so we sit at the same cubicle). And die pun dah tegur pasal dok naip tak henti2.. takut keje tak siap:D Sampai jumpa lagi, take care all..

Welcoming Back

Lama aku menghilang.. Beberapa sebab antaranya setup tempat baru dan availability of the pc menyebabkan aku hampir tak sempat nak menyentuh isu baru. Apa2 pun al-Hamdulillah, at last i have my pc back. Tak kisahlah apa pun yg telah berlaku, hingga aku terpakse ambil urgent leave cuma yg penting Allah dah lembutkan hati seseorg utk benarkan aku ambil pc.

Well, tempat baru really feel like in winter season. Bezanya, aku tak pakai baju cukup tebal jer lagi. Last time i bought a long jacket/blazer macam dlm cerite winter sonata yg U-jin pakai . Kat bkt mahkamah tak boleh pakai sbb agak panas, tapi kat sini hari2 kena pakai. Oklah, tak perlu pergi jauh kalau terasa nak bergaya dengan fesyen musim sejuk. ehhe cumanya, kejap je aku kat sini. tak lama lagi mungkin dah dpt arahan utk pindah ke menara plak.. makin jauh perjalanan waktu pagi aku, and makin lambatler nak sampai ke ofis.. isk, punch card merah bakal mewarnai hidup aku la nampaknyer...

utk teman2, maapler yer. cik ekonomi tak dpt ler nak komen ape2 lagi ttg dunia luar sekarang. 'dunia dlm' ni masih tak dpt nak stabilize lagi. insya-Allah tak lama lagi kalau dah berjaya stabilize everything i will be back. Ibarat kate my new boss, we are going to be very busy at least for the first 6 months. 6 MONTHS? meaning until end of the year? :)) but for sure, this year is going to be a busy one for me...

mm cepat betul masa berlalu. mungkin ada antara kita yg sudah risau ttg hari muka, terfikir betapa ramai yg telah menemui jalan kehidupan masing2, mungkin tak penah penat utk berfikir ttg kawan2 yg dah kawin + beranak pinak sedangkan diri masih tak berjumpa sesiapa. Atau alternatif yg paling mudah, lupakan sahaja yg lain (mcm dlm iklan pencuci baju daia). teruskan kehidupan, tak perlu fikir apa2 dah.. i am currently practising that. jgn ditanya lagi pasal cinta, kawin, tunang, calon etc etc. I am tired of that already. At the age of 24? yeah, that is right. We don't ask ppl bila nak dpt degree, master, phD, bila nak bukak bisnes, jadi kaya etc etc kan. We just said kalau ade rezeki, insya-Allah tak kemana. So does in this matter..

Mungkin ada betulnya, dah terlalu ramai yg sibuk mengira bintang di langit, dan terlalu ramai membukit-bukit berkejar-kejaran mencari gunung tertinggi nak menggapai bintang2 yg bersinar utk jadikan itu milik mereka. aku masih rasa biarlah, cahaya bulan aku tetap dpt juga. sinar bintang masih mampu aku kagumi. yg pasti, pasir di bumi dpt aku rasa kasar dan seleraknya.. air di kaki masih dpt aku rasa sejuknya. laut di situ masih aku rasa masinnya, sungai yg mengalir masih aku rasa tawarnya. cukuplah itu buat sementara waktu ini utkku.

melalut pula. hari ni sempat aku curi sedikit masa aku hari ni utk stay kat ofis yg terpencil ni. nasib baik hujan, so masih ade beberapa org kat ofis. sekejap lagi waktu utk aku pulang.. so itulah, takde ape2 nak cerite. sekadar teringat, tak lama lagi dah masuk rejab, syaaban..lepas tu ramadhan semula. teringat ttg lailatulqadar. masanya mungkin dah tiba utk perbaiki amal diri sendiri kalau mmg malam itu yg dicari. Doa buat semua, moga Allah pertemukan kalian dgn malam tersebut. Insya-Allah.

~Hidup yg perit mengajar aku erti CintaNya~

Blank

What a tired day... I was thinking of an urgent leave today, but suddenly remember that i need to go to taiping tommorow for a last meeting and then have to attend a some sort of jamuan at brickfields to celebrate those who will not stay in Contact Centre Mgt Division (CCMD), in which i believe that will make my boss to call me up to go to the office..

Yesterday, my sister got engaged. A younger one. Soalan yg biasa kite dgr bila adik yg dahulu; patutnya akak die dulu, akak die bile plak.. dan jawapan yg kite tak biasa dgr ialah: aku gelak jer. Takdelah rasa humilated ke rasa tak laku ke (walaupun mungkin mmg tak laku kot?;O hahahha), cuma rasa yg pasti mmg penat laa sesgt buat kenduri ni. Actually, a couple of year back my mom mmg reluctant utk dahulukan adik but i told her kalau dah sampai masa takyah tangguh2, die nak kawin kawinkan aje. As for me, insya-Allah ada jodoh i will get married. After all of that, i think my brother's statement yg paling berdesing jer dgr..tapi sabar ajeler when he said, "Nak tunggu along kawin, sampai ke tualah jawabnyer". Kesian mak..anak die memilih sgt..

erks.. okler ade hal kena keluar sat dgn boss. This noon seems like i will go straigth to the brickfields. So see ya later. bye!

Time-In: Lonely

Well, I’m back with more words and sentences and topics to discuss about. Al-Hamdulillah, I was given some spare time pula utk tulis panjang2 kali ni. Maybe because I am just settling my works and simple jobs were given for me to do while waiting for my transfer.

Since it seems so hard to see a friend of mine be coming back after a longgg “Timeout”, maybe I should make a move myself to do some Time-In. heeh gurau je yer. Are you lonely? Isn’t it absolutely Lonely? Less lonely? Or not lonely at all? Soalan ni kawan aku kasi. Die suh korang jawab dan explain sendiri. Ekke I have no answer regarding this thing, it just a rhetoric question for you yourself;)

Actually, pasal kuiz tu kan, if U can see I told U that there was ½ hour story that was accidentally UNDO from my writing. Betullah tu sape yg bagi jawapan DAN. :) It was just a joke, don’t take it seriously. Nvm, kalau sempat next time I will throw the ideas again-but yet the ideas was not as fantastic as it seems to be with the quiz. Hahaha

Ha, iklan sat. I received this from alumni newsletter, huhuhu Kak Rudi ni..nampak gaya kena buat appointment dengan dia ni. Iklan tu pasal talk on searching ur soulmate kat MMU: extracted from the newsletter:

02. STILL SEARCHING YOUR SOULMATE?

**Tepuk tangan utk Kak Rudi**

I was trying to clean up some space in my yahoo mail when I found out about this article. Maybe I can relate it with what this time postage is focusing on: Looking for life partner. It’s worth reading for those who think that why Allah SWT has not lead anyone for you yet (seems like it refers to me best)., yg berbeza cuma aku lebih merasakan kekosongan perlu diisi sbb tuntutan masyarakat . Mungkin itu tanggapan aku buat masa ni kan. Esok lusa, Allahu’alam. (mizie, aku letak footrope dgn betui dah..hehe). Ok, utk semua:

Saatku Istikharah

Aku tidak tahu kenapa, jauh di sudut hati ini, kupendam suatu perasaan yang begitu sukar untukku luah... Aku mengaku, cemburunya hati ini bila melihat Nurul selalu mendapat jambangan bunga! wangian jambangan bunga setiap kaliku mengintai bilik bacaannya, menambahkan rasa cemburu... yang hanya menunggu masa untukku muntahkan keluar!

Ku lihat Salmi, tidak kurang bezanya! Asyik bergayut dengan handsetnya.. hampir siang dan malam!" Ayang tengah makan..Abang dah makan ke"... telingaku bagaikan dah bernanah mendengar ucapan-ucapan romantis mereka berdua...!

Nak ku kata tentang Amy, Miza, Ain, Huda... Ahhhhh semuanya sama! Di rumah sewa itu,hanya aku saja yang kesepian... hanya aku saja yang keseorangan! Memang aku akui... cinta sesama manusia, tak ke mana akhirnya! Tetapi apakan dayaku... aku juga seorang wanita yang ingin disayangi, ingin dibelai.. aku juga mahukan kata-kata semangat dari lelaki, setiap kali aku menghadapi saat-saat hampirnya peperiksaan! Aku juga mahu bunga, teddybear... mahu perfume... dan aku juga mahu segalanya yang telah dirasai Amy, Miza Ain, Huda dan.....!

Seolah-olah aku ditakdirkan hidup keseorangan... menemani kesepian hatiku yang merayu minta diisi segera dengan kasih lelaki....!

Kepada Allah jua aku memohon, jalanNya saja pilihanku! Ya Allah, andainya perasaan ini hanyalah semata-mata nafsu yang tak habis-habis melulu, menggesa...maka kepadaMu kupohon petunjuk...kembalikan hati ini mengingatiMu...hanya Mu!

Ramai juga yang menyapaku," tak nak ke rasa, berkawan dengan lelaki..." ...tapi semua soalan-soalan itu... aku endahkan saja! Umpama masuk telinga kiri... ku keluarkan di telinga kanan!!!

Akhirnya aku kalah juga pada ajakan kengkawan...sehinggalah seorang Nurul memperkenalkan aku dengan seorang lelaki si "A" . umur kami sama, dan kami sama-sama pelajar IPT... Entah kanapa hatiku tiba-tiba setuju... di depan Nurul aku mengangguk tunduk... Nurul tersenyum... melihat telatahku!

Setelah persetujuan aku dan Si "A" diterima, Nurul mengatur perbualan telefonku dengan si "A"... Aku tidak memiliki handset sendiri... jadi terpaksalah menggunakan handset milik Nurul untuk sementara!

Percayakah kalian, kalau ku kata, itulah kali pertama aku berbual dengan seorang lelaki sepanjang hidupku! Perbualan selama 8 minit itu, kami tamatkan dengan ucapan salam... tak banyak yang kami borak... sekadar menyentuh hal keluarga... dan butir-butir peribadi... itu saja!

"Apakah yang telah aku lakukan Ya Allah! Wajarkah aku memperdengarkan suaraku kepada seorang lelaki? Kenapa aku begitu ingin dengan cinta? Selang beberapa hari... perbualan telefon antara aku dan si "A", hatiku merintih hiba... aku ...aku menyesal!

Lalu aku membuat keputusan tidak mahu lagi berbual dengan si "A"... aku tidak mahu berkawan dengan lelaki... aku tidak mahu bercinta!" aku mula bertekad... aku yang mulakan semuanya, jadi juga yang perlu hentikannya!

Lalu aku istikarah kepada Allah, semalaman aku masih tak dapat jawapan!Masuk 2 hari, 3 hari... Alhamdulillah kini ku dapat melihat gambarannya dengan jelas... Dialah Bakal Suamiku... Pembimbingku Dunia Akhirat! Orangnya tinggi, berjanggut... kulitnya hitam manis... bibirnya tak pernah lekang dengan senyuman! Dia memimpin tanganku menuju suatu tempat yang begitu indah... wangiannya menusuk jiwa dan kalbuku... tempat yang pernah kuimpikan... mungkinkah syurga! Detus hatiku... Selain aku ada dua orang kanak-kanak lelaki memimpin tanganku! Aku hairan dengan mimpi itu! Andai itu jawapan untuk istikarahku... siapa kanak-kanak itu? Mungkinkah anak-anakku? Aku tersenyum gembira dengan mimpuku malam itu...Ya Allah...di manakah suamiku!

Nurul ke bilikku suatu hari... sebelum aku sempat memberitahu padanya keputusanku tidak mahu berkawan dengan si "A"... Dia hulurkan padaku sekeping gambar foto! ...Inilah Si"A"... Dia poskan!" kata Nurul... Ya Allah..! alangkah terkejutnya aku menatap wajah lelaki yang menghiasi gambar foto itu... lelaki itu seperti kukenal... seperti pernah kujumpa sebelum ini... tapi
dimana... ingatanku semakin jelas... MasyaAllah dialah lelaki yang hadir dalam mimpiku! Wajahnya, janggutnya... cahaya di wajahnya... Ya Allah! Berkali-kali aku menampar pipiku... ternyata aku bukannya bermimpi... "Ya Allah... Dialah jodohku...!

Bermula dari hari itu, aku sering mendoakan kesihatannya, kebahagiaannya, keselamatannya... Kepada Allah swt aku serahkan dan sandarkan segalanya!"

Sehingga ke hari ini... ukhwah itu masih terjalin... masuk bulan ni usianya sudah menjangkau 2 tahun...! Dan dengarlah kalian bahawa ku benar-benar hanyut dalam cinta yang diperkenalkannya...

kami sering mengutus surat, tapi tak pernah ia didahului dan diakhiri selain kata-kata hikmah Islamiah, selain dari cerita beberapa tokoh Islam... Kami saling tukar info.. dan segala ilmu darinya... kini dah jadi koleksi peribadi... yang masih kutatap sehingga ke hari ini...

Kami berbual telefon sekali setiap 2 minggu, tapi jangan salahfaham bukan antara aku dan si "A"... tapi antara ibuku dan ibunya... antara ahli keluargaku dan keluarganya...! Betapa indahnya hubungan yang terjalin ini... Moga ia kekal selamanya...

Adab tidur... makan ... dan segalanya masih kuamalkan...! Harijadiku kini juga dipenuhi dengan hadiah,sesuatu yang aku impikan dulu... Tahun pertama, dia hadiahkan aku senaskah Al-Quran, aku membalasnya dengan sehelai sejadah...

Tahun kedua diberinya aku buku agama "Isteri Solehah Igauan Suami" ...aku membalasnya dengan senaskah buku agama "Suami Idaman Isteri Solehah"...

Tahun ketiga... Harijadiku semakin hampir... dan aku sedang menanti hadiahnya... kerana hadiah darinya begitu berharga... begitu bermakna... malah kupercaya, bukan saja bagiku... tetapi juga bagi semua wanita solehah di luar sana!

Dikala aku menyangka lelaki sejati telah pupus di alam maya ini... di kala itulah kau hadir... membuktikan ada lagi Lelaki sejati... Ada lagi Cinta yang diredhai Allah....

Walaupun ramai yang meminati si "A" di IPTnya... Tapi aku yakin..Dia Milikku...! Kerana kuyakin dengan jawapan yang kuperolehi dalam istikharahku... dan aku tidak akan mengalah... aku akan terus berdoa..! "Ya Allah...Andai dirinya tercipta untukku... menjadi milikku...Baik untuk duniaku... untuk akhiratku... untuk agamaku... maka satukanlah kami dunia dan akhirat... Ku pohon restu dan keizinanMu selamanya Ya Allah!"

Inilah doaku sejak dirinya ku kenal... dan sehingga hari ini... doa ini masih kupanjatkan... dan sehingga kini jugalah... ukhwah ini masih terbina kukuh... masih utuh...

Bila kupohon sesuatu Yang Baik DariNya... Dia Selalu Berikanku... Yang Terbaik!!!

Di Antara...

Salam buat semua. Moga berada dlm rahmat Allah SWT sepanjang hari ini. How do you do today?

Well, right now i am at TM Brickfields, waiting for the 'sifoo' to teach me about the future job i'll be doing starting by 1st July nanti. Ntah manalah sifoo aku ni ilang lagi.

By the way, how was the quiz being answered? Someone has been answering it correctly to me. Hehe, i guess u people have a verry complicated way of thinking, kan? nvm, i'll give another clue to find the answer; apa ada di antara coklat dan gula2? apa ada di antara asam dan garam?

Certain people are given a verry easy, straight forward way of thinking. They see things as the first thing it is. For example, suasana suram bila lampu terpadam. Sometimes kite panggil mereka ni org yg lurus, atau kalau terlalu baik: lurus bendul. Percaya apa sahaja yg diperkatakan kepada mereka.

Meanwhile, some people (most of the time women) they perceived things differently. There is another meaning pop up back of their brains telling different meaning. Most of the time, kite kate double meaning. Macam kdg2 peribahasa melayu nak tegur org diorang gune bhs berbunga2.

For me myself, certain things make me think straight forward coz that make it easier for myself to absorb things at one time. To certain people, they think that i am somehow not verry sensitive with the environment, or just palying with their words. But, to the extend of time when i have time to think back somehow i usually found out people means the other thing around when they were talking to me. You can tell me straigth to their face, still do not forget to hold their dignity/ air muka. Meanwhile, u found out that make it mostly difficult at this time as people understands two things only: Whether it is Black or White; whether it is bitter or sweet, whether it is good or bad. In this kind of world, believe me, nothing is imposibble. There will be black in white, which makes it to be gray: light gray, darker gray, crayon gray, smoke gray etc etc. There is also make a taste of rasa lemak (ape dlm bi describe ek? Takkan rasa fat kot?:)) ), which was a mixture of bitterness and sweetness: and there is also good things that come out from bad things. If not, the english will not come out with proverb on "Being cruel to be kind".

Oklah, the quiz is still open. I will get back to you all later on. Now, keje kat sini looks like dah selesai sebehagian. So i will get back to u later on when i have more time to do that.

Sekian utk kali ini.
Wasalam.

Pindah

Assalamualaikum buat semua..
Selamat pagi..

Pagi ni terasa weird sket bila sampai ofis nampak sebahagian partition tu dah kosong. Usually macam2 mende terlekat kat partitition tu. Semalam dah kemas sebahagian barang2 kat sini, barang2 hiasan dan hadiah org je dah satu kotak. Tu pun nampaknyer masih tak muat. Hehe banyak plak ek. Dok letak je kat ofis malas nak bawak balik. Waduh, sudah mau berangkat pergi ya daku ini.. Pergi bertukar boss...

Masuk je ofis pagi2 ni, boss sudah bising2. Die kate aku ni tak check ngan staff pasal payment, tak nasihat staff betul2, tak warning staff etc etc, tapi selalunyer die yg handle bab2 finance dan marah2 org ni. Ntah kenapa yg ni plak die terlepas, dan aku juga yg dimarah. huhu. terima je ler kan..

====
Em.. selepas lebih sejam, nampaknyer boss pun dah cool down lepas gi ngadap die. Tak sempat nak post tadi.

Ok, few days back i received a sms from a friend asking me about my feeling to the sender saying this:
"BENCI? abaikan saja sms ini
KAWAN? -balas balik
RINDU? - Missed call 1x
SAYANG? - Missed Call 3x
bla bla bla"

So, what i did is send back the sms, and missed call 2 times. What does that means? Seorg kawan, antara rindu dan sayang. ahhaha So soalan kuiz utk anda semua ialah...
Apakah yg berada di antara Rindu dan Sayang?
haaa jawab jawab..sape jawab betul i kasi u hadiah...heheh

===
10.22 am

Berhenti Mengharap

Assalamualaikum wbt.

Salam, bukan sekadar ucapan tapi juga doa. Pembuka dan penutup segala pertemuan, mengeratkan ukhuwah.. Cumanya, bukan semua dpt menghayati erti sebenar itu semua termasuklah aku!

Well, sekali lagi bertemu Jumaat. Insya-Allah, if everything else goes on smoothly, i will be moved out from bukit mahkamah's office to hold a harder responsibility at Business Control, Contact Centre Management Division. Cam gempak je kan nama department die.. eheh Telekom ni macam tak kasi org nak kawin kot, tgklah lagi diberi keje berat2. Camni nak curi masa cari 'org' pun tak sempat. ehe kidding all:p

When i was a little bit younger, i think that i have a stronger faith and positive attitude towards almost everything. I always believed that if i was given something or suddenly changing my easy-going, simple to a complicated, tighth path it was because Allah SWT wants to prepare me for something that i need to do in the future. I believed that HE wants to smooth out my work later on, to give a place for me in HIS world. No matter how hard it was, i won't regret and i won't stop doing it. I always believed that there is nothing impossible for the God to do, if HE wants it. I always believed that all HE has to do is to grant, and it will be as what HE wants. That was the reason why i have a verry strong will last time, in which some people see them as keras kepala, keras hati, energetic, too idealistic, argumentative; which is tooo strong and tooo much to be in the body and soul of a woman.

But when i entered into working life, as time past i found out that my belief seems to shattered away. Indirectly, i found out that my thoughts were always too idealistic to be true, in which i always said to my friends (in past time) that i still believe i can make it with my ideas. Slowly, i change my heart from listening to my mind and knowledge to listen to my ears for what people are talking and giving comments on.. It's hard to reject and not believing what u see and what u hear. What can i say, the heart has to go through ears first before the mind; the confirmaty of the facts given by the ears to the heart is streghten by the what the eyes see. I am not that good, positive person anymore. *Istigfar diri* Astagfirullahal 'azim.. (May Allah forgives me) .

Currently i am listening to some old songs yg aku burned dlm CD masa belajar dulu. Lagu nasyid willdone (Menara gading), brothers (Kesaksian), Ik'tiraf.. among the songs i love, sometimes bila dgr semula terasa macam baru ajer aku tinggalkan dunia tu. Tup2 rupanyer sudah 2 thn aku habis belajar. 4 tahun belajar dulu, bukanlah sekejap aku rasa sbb macam2 yg aku dah buat dan rasai. Terlalu byk pengalaman. Betullah kate pendapat, sebahagian apa yg dirasai sekarang pahit dan sukar nanti bila masa hadapan ianya boleh jadi manis.

Oho, ade org remind suruh update blog. ehhe Semalam mmg nak update blog, tapi ramai sgt 'kaco'. Ada yg suh dengar/hantar lagu william hung (american idol, tp sakit tinger sket dgr lagu dia), suh komen lagu baru SO7: Berhenti Mengharap (hehe macam rahsia tersirat yg disuratkan aje;) ), dgn aku sendiri yg dok explore yahoo baru (fenin fenin) , dgn org yg suh aku terjemahkan kata2 aku sendiri. hehe sibuk2, tapi meriah. seronok betul dpt kwn2 macam ni, walau jarang jumpa still boleh keep in touch. :) Cuma maaflah, network mmg problem kan. So kdg2 je dpt online, masa tu lah boleh reply. Kalau diam terus tandanya tak boleh online la tu.

Oklah, I can't talk much. Still a lot to do and catch up before boss balik ofis next week. It's better to give some good 'goodbye' looks although sebelum ni mmg ade melakukan unsur2 pemberontakan.. hehe take care all. And lastly, to a friend of mine that still have nice thoughts on me thanx for being such a wonderful friend. You know who u are. To all, the old song that i downloaded yesterday for you to listen. Dedicated specially for dwicahaya. ehhe until we meet again.. Till then, take care!

~~TM: Dload kat 200.7.10.249.
~~Non-TM: Dload la kat mana2.. ehhe:p

:::
Ku mencari, ke mencari apakah salahku,
Kau buatku termenung seorangan
Dlm diri sangsi akhirnya begini
perpisahan tak ku duga

Ku mengerti ku fahami keputusan ini
Biar saja aku sebegini
Permintaan terakhirku
Jangan kau lafazkan
Simpan saja kata-kata, oho..

Jangan diucap selamat tinggal
Jangan kau ucap selamat tinggal
Jangan diucap selamat tinggal
Kepadaku.. (2x)

Walaupun seketika walaupun sekelip mata
Simpan saja kata-kata ke akhir hayat yang ada
Walaupun seketika walaupun sekelip mata
Simpan saja kata-kata ke akhir hayat yang ada
:::
Shades: Jangan Diucap Selamat Tinggal.

Two Lines

Someone told me that:
"Life is a matter of choice not the matter of chance.
If you are willing to have high return, you must willing to face high risk"


I feel that this statement is quite ambitious.. The person who said such words must be someone who has confidence in themselves, so much confident that if you don't dare enough to fight back better shut your mouth up. And i thought that well, maybe that's right!! We choose what we want for ourselves, although sometimes we do not know whether we will be succeed or not.

It's the willingness to face whatever obstacles in front to own the goals/dream. Whether you are a high risk taker or mild risk taker.. You may go and receive higher if u are a high risk taker, but if you fall down you hurt more than the mild risk taker..

Yet, i am not sure whether i am really that high risk taker..


But suddenly i came accross this statement:
"Chance is a gift for those who try"

Well, sometimes you are not sure about the risk and you do not have enough sources in your hands. What will you do? See what you have in front of you, whenever the chance comes grab it. If not much, at least a little at one time. Sometimes, it's that little thing that counted in your life. Something like let it comes to you slowly and naturally, perhaps you will appreciate it better.
