Hari Raya

Tuesday, August 30, 2011 by AA
Hello again. 'tis hari raya day. first one that is. first time celebrating at putrajaya house. all the plans to Sabah scrapped because of my failure to get replacement leave. what a bummer. it's a very dull hari raya day. all my cousins and relatives have gone back to kampung, leaving us somewhat "rebellious" family alone here. haha.

hopefully, tomorrow we're going to Cameron Highlands or something. anything other than staying here doing nothing. Btw, i've checked the flight schedule for AirAsia, going to Singapore (I attempted to divert the Sabah trip plan to Singapore before) and it was curiously cheaper about one fifth compared to flights to Sabah. AirAsia's rates are quite baffling sometimes. maybe it depends on stuff like availability and all, and i fail to comprehend complicated stuff as always.

This Sunday marks the 1st month of me owning Suzi! It's been a fun experience. Owning my own car paid with my own money. It makes me appreciate it more than say, something someone else just gave to you for free. Every scratch or dent or small2 hairline chips on the paint work makes me sad, and every hard bump on the road made me curse for two three seconds, while lamenting the state of MRR2 road condition. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase of Suzi, and look forward to putting some makeup on for her, namely some black/gunmetal alloys and maybe black tint later when my wallet permits it. It drives well enough, and i just love the feel when cornering. I just realized I've never took a photo of Suzi yet. buat kenangan haha.

I'm in a home-improvement mode right now, and i've been thinking of stuff to put up. not at home actually, but at my cubicle. at the office. it's actually quite dull. nothing much. and i dunno how to cover up the front part. I hate dodging glances every now and then during work time. It feels really awkward. haha. i really wish i could have a full 4 sided cubicle where you can just sit there and like sit in weird sitting positions, or even berbaring, or sleep when you have nothing to do. Sometimes i just want to sit there and concentrate and not like having people stare at your monitor from the back silently. it creeps me out haha. not that i've been surfing those aheemm aheemm websites at the office. i think that kind of stuff is best be left at home. right?

i just realized today that my neighbor behind my house owns a Scirocco. WTF. and a Polo. Filthy rich. xpelah. rezeki dia. 10 tahun lagi lets see what i can afford. buat masa sekarang, Suzi pn dah best.


i'm starting to get the feel/flow (whatever you might call it) of working at 1 Utama. the hierarchy, the politics (face it, every work place have one), the fun parts and the not so fun parts..sometimes things seems unfair, but when you work on it, do it, finish it, everything start to fall into place and makes sense. You work hard, you get rewarded better. Show enthusiasm, make everyone's job easier. I just got a raise last week, and all the hard work before just made sense. And come April 2012, there's going to be another one. Looking forward to that and the end of January next year = BONUS + 2010 Overtime Pay. hihi. Sometimes, things are fair.

The aircond in my room is making some weird noises and its kind of annoying. Not even a year yet.

This past ramadhan, i've lost 4 kgs. Which is like a small miracle. Considering that it's so damn hard for me to lose weight. The sad part is that its no longer Ramadan anymore, which means i'm going to gain 5kg back . Sometimes, things are not fair. hahahaha.

I do hope to be able to get a macbook pro by the end of this year. but it's so damn expensive. borderline unreasonable. but it's just....jusst...sooo.. prettty... (drools)..(opens up Apple.com again)

Sometimes the zen thing do work. Beautifully designed products creates a harmonious, 'just right' feel to your work area and maybe makes you more serene and productive (wtf i'm talking about, placebo effect?)

Deep down inside, i regretfully do feel that i'm a materialistic person. Aren't most of us? I want this, I want that, but sadly not enough moniezz for all those things. So have to give and take,
prioritize what's the best first.

My sister has quit her job to pursue her Master's. She had been asking around people's advice whether to quit her job or not, as she was unsure of it before. When she asked me, I just said to her without thinking much, "Kalau adek betul betul nak benda tu, sangat sangat SURE nak benda tu, buat saje. X payah dengar cakap/pendapat org lain. At the end of the day, adek yg nak benda tu, rugilah kalau adek x buat sbb org lain ckp jgn buat." Now come to think of it, i feel that advice is best applied to myself too. Kalau betul2 nak satu benda, dah pikir masak2, buat saja. X payah dengar nasihat org lain sgt. Kita pn ada IQ sendiri, boleh pikir betul2.

Haha pandai je cakap sedap mulut. Bila sendiri nak buat, mmg cm pikir 5-6 kali jgak kan.

Oklah,the aircond is quiet again. Dunno what happened there. Tiba tiba jadi sopan. Kita tidur duluuu!!!!

SELAMAT HARI RAYA 2011
MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN

Front Page

Tuesday, August 16, 2011 by AA
Tradition and beauty - Colourful floral batik wrapped
around flower shaped structures made from bamboo
create a traditional yet modern theme for Hari Raya at
1Utama Shopping Centre in Petaling Jaya. - AZHAR MAHFOF / The Star




Alhamdulillah today (17/8/2011) The Star put up my hari raya design on their front page! hehe quite happy. but not fully satisfied with the contractor's work. quite a lot are not up to specifications and design. hopefully God willing, next next projects will end up better with more experience. will upload some pics later. IMHO top view looks not nice. Come to 1 Utama and view it from ground floor. it's a lot better i think.

my boss says that in 10 years, i will look back and think that my design was quite childish. haha. after a few days i already felt that it was childish. not enough detailings on the backdrop cum changing room.

It's a strange feeling. I am happy but a bit reluctant to be proud of this design.

I guess experience is a lot more valuable than having Phd or masters in my line of work. Hopefully within 2-3 years i will learn a lot more and not make many mistakes anymore. Insyaallah..
