Clearing Up Spider Web On My Blog

Happy belated Deepavali to all Hindus.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha to all Muslims.

It's been a while since my last post. 

I am not that busy, like normal busy, I am busy like nobody business. 

I got caught between my big and small world.

My big world is of course my career world lah.

But no matter how busy I am, my other blog is running ok.

Only this one, my slumber casual blog is left unattended, sien.

Since I am back for good, I upgraded the look of this blog.

The background reminds of one Datuk Shah Rukh Khan movie.

I wonder why la, lately my poetic and artistic minds keep on begging to let go fancy and odd words.

I wrote so many poems in Malay and also English. (Its not here, its in my other blog)

I also wrote a poem about me caught in between two worlds, here I recycle for you guys my own writing in my other blog: http://catatanseni.blogspot.com/ 

My worlds

In my small world

Urgency is not priority

Troublesome, why hurry?

Have some coffee and poetry

Let the caffeine tell a story

In my big world,

Racing against time

Deadlines always on the line

All data must be define

Facts and fiqure should be fine

In my small world,

Differences are made equal

Through words and poetic ritual

War and hatred in a mode of denial

Let the writings embrace us all

In my big world,

Opportunities are blunder

Equality is joke of the year

Monkeys are policy maker

Talks and walks are mere orator

I would rather,

Trapped in my small world, forever

But my bank account will soon clear

Oh my dear, oh my dear,

I am in between of hate and fear

Even if it is hard to comprehend to some, this is how I visualize my situation sandwiched between worlds - Damn hard to comprehend!

Even how hard its going to be, here I am, clearing all the spider webs in this blog.

Motivated by a T shirt?

My source of motivation came from a T shirt.
Why a mere T shirt can motivate me?

This is my current favorite T shirt.
My old habit die hard is if I like to wear something, I will always wear it until wear off.
This shirt was given to me as souvenir from Kumamoto, Japan by my friend Timmy Ang.

What I like the most is the material keep me cool all the time.
I don't like thick shirt because it make me sweating.
Hot weather can drive people crazy just like this story
Other than that, the black color hides my extended and renovated "front porch".

I think, I look tougher LOL.
The dragon picture also very cool and mysterious.
I like it very much and I think my motivation level is higher each time I wear this T shirt.

Thank you my Fellow Bloggers!!

Thank you so much!! My arms became insufficient in length to show how much I am thankful to all.

Today this blog age is 2 months and 3 weeks.(approximately 80 days old)

It has to date 70 posts, 0.875 post per day to be exact.
My Nuffnang debit balance is RM 9.00. (Ok what?)
Not so bad for a beginner cum busy family man. (I had to push my own button, if not the elevator won't go up)
It also been followed willingly (or forcefully, I follow you, please follow me back kind of strategy) by 50 powerful heads. (90% are bloggers who owned an outrageously mind-blowing blogs of thoughts and stories)

If only I knew how wonderful blogging could be, I would have done it long ago.
In my 80 days of blogging, I have shared and gain so many things with the blogging community.
At my age (do I have to say this?) and experience, I still see so many new idea to learn from my fellow bloggers.
As I blogwalking, I saw my knowledge level becoming outdated.
So, I quickly grab new knowledge shared by bloggers and readers.
In my line of duty, I need fresh idea to cope with the ever changing needs. (WTH! actually I am doing public training; I need fresh idea to avoid my audience hibernating while lecturing)

I have seen health blogs, photo blogs, food blogs, travel blogs, shopping blogs, personal blogs, Islamic blogs, art blogs, creative writing blogs, politic blogs and many more blogs (the list goes on).
Bloggers blog for many reasons.
Some for money, building friend network, sharing idea, releasing anger and stress, for fun etc. etc.
What we have in common is, we speak our minds and share it with the blogging community.
That's what I love about blogging community, we are colorful and yet we blend together in harmony.
We complement each other skills and knowledge and some even made us laugh and feel better.

Honestly, blogging and blogging community has directly enrich my knowledge and pushing up my happy meter. (I actually became happier but I think my wife felt otherwise because she said I have taken Miss Lappie as my dark lover ('kekasih gelap') since blogging...aiyahh! annekuanna, sii liau maa)
I also made new friends and connection. (I added some to my friend list at Facebook)
Those who wants to know my other side of story, kindly add me at Facebook ya.
I have a squadron of immediate family members and relatives there!! (I got to behave myself there)

So my point is, Blogging and blogging community has been my new source of knowledge.
And for that, I salute all bloggers with all the respects and admiration.
You are my source of inspiration, friends and some say a shoulder to release stress..(is it? hahaha!)
Thank you for your visits, advert clicking and comments.
Keep blogging and thank you so much my fellow bloggers.
You guys rock!!!

Pakej Pertolongan Cemas

Dah lama tak post dalam bahasa melayu rojak.
Bukan terer sangat pon omputeh, saja jer nak improve penulisan bahasa Inggeris.
Tu dia, tajuk post aku kali ni ialah Pakej Pertolongan Cemas.
Ambik kau!!

Kisah benar ni, berlaku kepada anak sulung aku.
Kesian mamat tu.
Dia berumur 19 tahun tapi dah kerja (sebab sekolah tak nakkan dia, bukan dia tak nak sekolah).
Dia kerja di sebuah hotel yang agak banyak bintangnya di Pulau Pinang.

Pada malam Chinese New Year yang lepas, dia buat Overtime dan balik dalam pukul 4 pagi.
Dia pakai kapcai buruk aku la.
Yang baru bapak dia pakai. hahaha.
Agaknya dia terlelap sekejap, motor terbabas dan terlanggar divider jalan.
Dia pun tergolek dan pengsan sebab helmet terkeluar dan kepala terhantuk ke entah apa.

Ada orang tolong tarik dia ke tepi jalan, kalau tak mungkin lebih bahaya.
Orang tu tolong panggil kawan sekerja dengan menggunakan handphone anak aku yang tengah pengsan.
Setelah yang pengsan tersedar, didapati handphone (baru beli seminggu), wallet yang berisi kad pengenalan, kad atm dan duit telah dirembat oleh orang yang menolongnya tadi.

Haa..! tu dia, perompak tu tolong semua sekali.
Inilah yang dinamakan pakej pertolongan cemas.
Siap tolong rompak sekali barang-barang orang yang kemalangan.
Hmmm..macamana nak kategorikan perompak jenis ni hah?
Perompak baik kut.

Motor lingkup, kepala kena jahit 8 jarum dan kena rompak.
Kesian kat mamat tu.
Tapi Alhamdulillah dia selamat.
Anak aku lelaki sorang jer.
Macamana pun, dia tetap satu-satunya anak lelaki aku.

Welcome to the real world - Career World

Wow lamanya cuti.
Esok aku kerja selepas 9 hari cuti CNY.
Aku kerja kilang manufacturing.(sama ar ngan ko punya field of study-Anem)
Kalau zaman sekolah dulu dah tentu tulisan jadi tak elok sebab langsung tak tulis apapun sepanjang cuti sekolah.
Tapi kerja lain la pulak ceritanya.
Esok pasti ada kerja berlambak menanti aku.
Bukan aku malas nak buat tapi tak sempat arr..(alasan orang malas)
So misi penting aku besok pagi ialah cari alasan yang sesuai kenapa deadline overdue.
Kalau terlepas kira bonus la.
Tapi kalau tak terlepas, dengar jer lah lecture dari boss selama 10 ke 15 minit.
Lepas tu habislah.
Semua orang buat show masing-masing untuk impress the biggest boss.
Macam ni lah kerja, dah berbelas tahun dan 8 organisasi, sama jer.
Cuma level of lakonan dan office politics yang berbeza.
Tapi yang penting walaupun overdue janganlah lama sangat.
Takut nanti Jepon Samurai X pancung kepala.

Masa belajar susah gaban.
Employment Act 1955, open book pon failed..ahaks.
Accounting la.., business finance la.., bla bla bla
Masa interview, soklan maut semua keluar.
What will you be in 5 years time? (WTF..I'll be immune to your nagging)
What will be your ultimate goal in this organization? (GTH kerja sampai pencen la)
How can you contribute towards QCD? (Ahaks! I like this question)
Macam biasa aku jawab semua dengan jawapan standard lah.(seperti yang dikehendaki oleh sipenemuduga)
So, of course la dapat kerja.

Tapi masa kerja, real job, semua berlakon.
Kalau aku buat skema, tak berlakon, jadi janggallah.
Sekarang ni kalau ada Engineer baru masuk aku cakap, "Jangan rajin sangat, nampak kami semua malas, bro"
Kalau aku tau camni, baik aku belajar seni lakonan.
Ujung minggu boleh buat part time berlakon filem ke drama ke.
(Watak perogol bersiri ke.., gengster kampong ke sesuai ar)
Ermm...ermmm...tetiba jer kerongkong aku jadi gatai.

OMG Damn Hot

Northern Peninsular has reached up to 36 deg C!!
Aiyooo...juak ooo!!
If only I have Penang Road Chendol or some fresh lemonade.
I have read somewhere, hot weather increases crime rate!
Imagine what hot people can do when they hot.
One thing for sure, if I hot my blood pressure also go up (Manglish, ahaks!)
So please, don't make me angry, my ears will turn red and I will see my opponents smaller and smaller in size.
Once, in a meeting, I banged table and start cursing in all northern dialects due to my blood pressure increased.
When I mad, I will start cursing in English 1st, follow with Malay, then Hokkien and lastly Tamil.
You see, Tamil is always the last one and it will be the best impact in ultimate sarcasm.
Tamil will be best tool to screw people and re-charge their batteries.
Deyyy..Muthall .Ni kalembe..pooohhh...(with eyes popping effect, maximize hand gesture)
Please do not try this at home. (Very bad)
So hot weather couple with BP, could result more damages.
That was long time ago.
Now, as I turned 40, I am more calm and my table banger attitude has somehow disappear.
My cursing also is less nowadays.
But, while driving I still curse just to train my kids how to drive 'pemanduan berhemat'

Last time, when I was working in Beach Resort, one lady guest had gone mad due to hot weather.
She jumped in the pool after swimming hours (at night, no life guard)
After swimming she walked slowly from pool to Garden Terrace.
I was the junior waiter then, fresh from kampong.
She came straight to me and ordered cold drink.
I was electrically shock and drown in my own saliva.
She was half naked!!
I had sleepless nights for weeks.
You see how crazy people are, when they are hot.
I think the lady guest was damn hot!!!

Cekelat Angin at Meeting Semedang Sdn Bhd

Hai lamanya tak post..
Buzy like hell tapi cekelat angin jer
Aku ni kerja syarikat Meeting Semedang Sdn. Bhd.
Aku pernah kerja banyak kilang dah
Semuanya giant dan multinational
Tapi tak pernah lah lagi meeting sampai 80% dari total working hours
Asyik meeting jer kerja lain bila nak habis
Project anak buah siapa nak follow-up
Dah la executive baru tak nak bagi
Jadilah aku 4 in 1...
Penatnya seperti ligan kuda liar
Budaya kerja yang hebat ni
Sapa-sapa nak buat master in management boleh mai buat case study kat sini
Dulu masa aku kerja kat satu kilang hard disk (USA) bos aku mat salih,
Dia cukup bengang kalau meeting lama-lama
Dia cakap unproductive
''You can only manage what you control"-Jim Mason
Itulah kata-kata hikmah dari dia yang aku masih ingat.
Dia bekas tentera US berpangkat kapten.
Aku rasa kalau dia kerja kat tempat aku sekarang dia masuk TR atau Perak Road!!
Aku pon stress sket jer (tapi eksyen lebih)
Tak boleh jadi gila babas lagi
Tapi sepatutnya kalau buat kerja 4 orang bayarlah gaji 4 orang kan?
Baru adil dan saksama..
Ini tak, cekelat angin jer
Hai..nasiblah..
I cannot manage what I cannot control...kan?

So WTH with Grey Hair

A barber told me today just after I got my hair cut
"Uban tara pa bang, janji ada duit"
As my hair got cut all the "uban" are clearly exposed.
I am 40 to be in May this year.
Time go so fast lah lately so does the grey hair...
I got it from my father gen, he got it white all over.
So come to think of it, why bother covering those grey hair.
Eventually it will turn white as I grow older.
People said life begin at 40, I doubt that.
I think my life has begun at 15 (ha-ha-ha)
I bought my own nike shoes with my hard-earn money when I was 15.
I went for soft shell crab fishing.
It was lucrative side income then.
I felt like an adult with buying power.
Now, at 40 I have more things to catch-up with.
Thinking of career switch again.
Continue study...arghhhh....
My eldest kid at 19, started to give me money from his salary.(I couldn't believed it)
He was the one who went to school everyday and got 50% attendance.
I must say, I am proud of him (at last ahakz)
If he follow my my footstep and got married at 21, soon I will become grandfather.
So WTH with grey hair!!
My daughter is 17, and she has got a Malay+Thai+Punjabi+Indian look.
When we walk together at mall, she got men looking at her much more nowadays.
I pretend not to see those naughty eyes, but then WTH..,
My kid is no kid any longer..
So WTH with grey hair
I am more worry about my extended and renovated tummy!!

My Brodband Sengal in Kepala Batas

Why arr bad reception here?

I hate it, I hate it, I hate it
When I was in Teluk Air Tawar, everything went smooth,
Since end of December '09, when I moved to Kepala Batas my net connection like s@#t!
Imagine when you are in a high steam to move on but then disconnected
Its felt like uhhh...arghhhh...
Think to change but, I am in contract with the service provider.
It was my fault not able to foresee this ahead when signing the contract.
Sometimes I made silly mistakes...I am only human...and nomadic kind.
To console my blogger off-line situation I tried connecting via mobile phone to the same s@#t!
My mobile phone service provider also gave the same s@#t.
Come to think of it...,
Maybe Kepala Batas such an "ulu" place, whoaaa....
Sorry, sorry...I get emotional over connection issue..
I love Kepala Batas so much.
Nice place to stay or settle down.
It has almost everything you want in suburban area.
Not so busy compare to Seberang Jaya.
The best thing is you can still see kampong scenery.
The paddy field, the irrigations and the warm smile.
Just like back home in Singkir Laut.
Where people still greet each other and asking "apa khabar?"
I had encountered with one "pakcik" and after asking him "apa khabar?"
He said, he is not feeling well.
I asked him, "Pakcik sakit apa?"
He said,"Sakit Astro"
It got me puzzled for a second or two before he finally add, "Macam-macam ada!"
That's cool, I like him, being sicked with multiple illness but still can become "Raja Lawak"
Reminds me of my dad...

Training at Sunway Hotel, Seberang Jaya

Hari ni aku dan 17 orang lagi rakan sekerja pergi training domestic inquiry.
Kami training kat Sunway Hotel, Seberang Jaya.
Kepada majoriti peserta, ini adalah skil baru mereka.
Bagi aku pula ini merupakan refresher kerana aku dah 3 kali training benda yang sama.
Aku choose to attend sebab nak updatekan perubahan labour laws yang baru jika ada.
Oleh kerana domestic inquiry merupakan requirement dalam undang-undang buruh, so mesti kena belajar betul-betul, mana tau kan silap-silap langkah nanti kena saman pulak.
Selalunya kalau belajar bab undang-undang aku sure terlena dalam kelas.
Masa buat kat kolej pun sama gak..bab akta-akta ni aku pasti terlena.
Kali ni pun sama gak.
Aku hanya bertahan sampai sebelum lunch break.
Lepas makan lunch aku pon terlelap 10-12 kali.
Kami semua suka training sebab dapat makan free kat hotel dan terlepas dari kerja (hahaha)
Inilah yang semua orang rasa (tapi tak nak ngaku)
Trainer kami pandai jugak buat lawak...(tak sangka sebab training subject dia skema)
So tak lah boring sangat.
Hari ni aku dapat grap lebih kurang 70% lagi 30% aku terlena.
Esok ada satu hari lagi, case study dan mock DI.
Harap-harap esok aku tak lena sebab aku kena bawa watak pesalah yang menumbuk managernya. (awat depa pilih aku?)
Aku nak buat havoc sket sebab aku memang suka bab berlakon ni.
Korang mesti heran kan kenapa aku tak review makanan kat Sunway Hotel.
Memang aku nak review tapi aku selsema hari ni.
Semua yang aku makan rasa sama jer.
So aku tak boley nak review kerana deria rasa dan bau aku malfunction.
Harap-harap esok aku ok sebab aku dah pi klinik tadi.
Kalau dah baik selsema aku akan review makanan buffet kat coffee-house.

My head stop blogging

This few days my head stop blogging.
I have directed my thinking towards work.
So much more to do yet so little time.
I wonder if I still have time.
I need to start on new system.
Took over from ground zero.
Start to lead my team towards the right track.
It has been so many years of off-track practice.
I need to start kicking an ass or two.
Like what I used to do before, just to get things done.
I can't wait any longer. (Not power crazy!)
No time to loose because the Japs are not so patient.
Sometimes the best way to lead is autocratic way.
GTH mainstream management.
I got to go my way-follow my head!!
