My Life...

Thursday, November 13, 2008

Bought a new car, weeks ago and should be arriving anytime this week. I'm so excited and looking forward to go for a spin but on the other hand, I had no one to company me. Bought the car at $48890, can you believe it, the insurance cost me around $3000. There goes my money... Luckily I'm prepared for it and I had enough saving to cover.

The car is consider a good buy with 1.9% interest and a monthly installment of $450. Most of my friends was shock as it was too sudden for me to get a car. I had only been working there for 7 months and I managed to buy a car.

I apply for 2 credit cards, DBS ESSO credit card and Capital Card. I will get 10% off for petrol if I used my Esso card on Esso Station but I'm not really sure what are the benefit for Capital Card. I'm still trying to figure out what are the benefit. Hmm...

I managed to get 3 out of 5 Cs. Cash, Credit Card and Car. I'm not sure whether should I get a condo, but I was thinking of saving up for my parents to go to Mecca.

I'm been having a bad time at work. I had to stay up until 12am today. I has been working since 6am in the morning till 12am the next day. So many issue was brought out for the meeting. I'm really exhausted until I can't sleep..

Yanti has been going out with this guy recently. Sooner or later she will get attached to this guy and eventually will end our friendship. You know gals, they will always forget their friends whenever they are attached... And I will be left alone... Sob SOb... (hehe)

I don't think any gals would fall for me.. Due to my work commitment, no gals will find that as a good excuse not to meet up.. Both my parents and my younger brother are bz matchmaking me with their choices.

It would be nice to settle down at this age....

WORK WORK WORK .. .. ..

Friday, October 24, 2008

It been weeks since i update my last entry. Before beginning of Hari Raya, until the end of it then I managed to find time to update my blog. I been busy working all this while until I barely had any time for myself. My leave was cancel due to the high work load in my office.. Sighs...

Sometimes I wonder, what is life when you had so much money and in the end, there is no one to share your joy and happiness with... =(

I'm feel utterly depress at the moment.. I had no one to confine with at the moment.. Yanti whom I regard her as my best friend was busy with her new working life and finding a life partner... Farhan was too busy with her fiancee' (getting married in 2 years times, congrats)

I beginning to realise that friends do change as times goes by.. or maybe... just maybe I don't have lots of friends.. True friends doesn't always last...

The reason I being a workaholic, I wanted to forget all of this feeling and concentrated on my career itself.. I heard rumours saying I'm getting a promotion soon.. I'm not sure myself.. I'm just started working like.. 6 - 7 months and out of the sudden a promotion?? They must be kidding... I had so many things to learn and I can't possible climb a ladder without learning it first...

My boss always asking me to OT. Leaving me in-charge of the terminal.. That is an huge responsibilities.. STRESS ..... I'm beginning to reliase that there is a lot of grey hair started to poping out from no where... sigh.. Getting really old huh... and i'm just 26 this year...

People in the office begining to like me. They love how I handle the things and senario.. It was difficult at first but at times goes by, experience teach me well...

Will be getting my first bonus next month.. What I heard it will be 3 months bonus.. So tat will be around 12k? Omg.. tat is enough to cover a dowry...

If I had a gf, I would have propose her by now... Wedding by the sea side.. how wonderfull... It will be great...

If only I had one...

Recap...

Tuesday, September 16, 2008

It the 16th day of the Ramadan. Time has fly so quickly peep. So many things had happen during the past few months. So sorry for not updating my blog so frequently.

I'm not really in a good mood to celebrate Hari Raya due to . . .

My best friend, Sulaiman has pass away due to a motorbike accident. Before he pass away, he told me that he is going to get engaged by end of this year and maybe he will get married the end of next year but things doesn't always go to the way we plan.

When his gf called me that he past away, my first reaction was, stun and speechless. If I remember correctly, I did sms him for the past few days about the oil price and the next thing I knew he past away few days later. It was so expected.

I will always remember him as a friend, a brother and buddy(Army). When I recalled back, we always did things together. He always advice me on relation with my ex. Told me always to be patience and there is always up and down when you are in the relationship. I will always remember u my dear friend. Al-fatehah...

Got into a feud with Yanti. Haha.. She is like so over.. She simply gets angry over a picture. She was asking me what I had for break fast yesterday. So I merely took a picture of what is on the table and she was furious. Scolding me for making her hungry... Am I wrong to do that? She was asking me in the first place.. "Whatever la Yanti..." Luckly you are not my gf... haha...

Work place was fine. My boss had giving me a big role to play apart. Had to in-charge of this and that. My signture was all over the place. If I didn't inspect it properly, all the finger will start to point at me. Sighh...

Sometimes when I think back, I had to thank Wahidah. If not for her, I would never become what I am today. She always encourage me to study and all... I did so well back then in ITE because of her moral support. I will always remember you... During my 1st year in poly, my result was as good as in ITE and it drop tremondously after she dump me.. Arghh....

Sometimes I really wish to shake hand and thank her for all her help.. She is so different from other gals I had met. Thank you...

sighhh.....

Friday, June 27, 2008

I just had this feeling the moment I step into work today. It seems that this feeling has not been fading away from the first day I work there. I can sense that there is always someone wanted to backstabbing me or wanted me to get fired !!!

I dunno... but it just a feeling of mine... or maybe I haven't been praying lately.

Life wasn't really simple at work. There is so many things to do over there and yet there is so little time.

Certain task which I can't really cope while at work:

  1. I had to take care of the driver while loading
  2. Keep an eye on the loading bay.
  3. I need to print the D/O for the upcoming schedule as well as nominating them.
  4. Need to run down whenever the VCU trip
  5. Take care of all the incoming calls (Customer complain)
  6. My mind must fully awake to avoid mistake
  7. Need to memories all the truck compartment
  8. Memories all the customer number
I just can't stand it any more... I just wanted to scream on top of the building, " I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE" that will ease my tension away...

There is so many responsibility and it was HANDED BY ONE PERSON !!! %@#$%^%$#@$%

Sometimes I really wished, by the end of the day, I would meet up my loved one and tell her all my trouble I had at work...

I really wished I could....

Finally I have a time to blog...

Thursday, June 26, 2008

Wah... it has been more then a week I have updated my blog. I have been to busy with my work until I not even have a time to enjoy myself.

So where do I start.... Let me try to recap to get things started...

I went straight to Vivo last saturday to meet my friend Watie. It was my first time meeting her. It was a long story, to cut it short I got to know her at one of the chatroom. The meeting was nothing extraordinary. I was suppose to meet her at 1800 hours but instead I arrive there at 1820 hours. (As usual, Razi always late whenever he is meeting someone) Hey.. I wasn't delibrately to come out for an excuse this time. (Most of the time, Yes!! Heheh)

There was a major accident from AYE Jurong to AYE Keppel. There was 8 vehicles collide on each others. Gosh... It was one of the most terrifying accident I every encounter. Luckily there wasn't any fatallity.

So continue the story...

Meet her up at one of the bank next to the food court. Gosh.. that particular saturday was full of people. I don't have much room to move around just like a pack of sardine. I think it got to do with the great singapore sales.





We have no where to go and in the end we decide to go to the sky garden (is that what it call?)
If you pay attention to the picture closely, you could actually see that the park is full occupied.










Sometimes I really wished, I can go back in time and become kids.

They are so problem free.

They only know 3 things. Eat when they are hungry, Sleep when feeling sleepy and play if they ever feel boring. Arghh... I really miss those days.




If I had a choice in life, I would ask 2 things from my parents. One of them to sent me to take up piano lesson. How I wish, I could play that beautiful musical instrument. I really wish there is some kind soul out there who is willing to teach me. I have giving up the idea of playing guitar long long time ago. It just reminded me of those days... Secondly, I would ask them to sent me to madrasah. How I wish I could write in arab. Knowing the history and recite the quran is never enough for me. I wish I could learn more.. (Watie, you got to teach me !!!)






After an hour of seating there, we make our way to starbucks at harbour front. I try out the new drink called dark mocha (something like tat... Can't remember !!)









It has chocolatey after taste. Maybe I would give 3.5 Thumbs up. You guys should have try it !!!































On the way home, I decided to purchase this sneaker balls to put inside my smelly boots. I myself cannot stand the smell of my safety boots. The safety boot was design to prevent any oil to go through it and because of this, no air can flow to it causing the boot to smell. Only now I know my foot smell.. !!! (hehehe)

Those event above happen during in the evening, so what actually happen during the day?

I actually went to science centre to have my project displayed there. So if you guys wanted to know about my project, you should have went there now until 8 of July if I'm not wrong. My project won Commondation Award from TKK. Here are some of the picture for your viewing...





FYI that tie cost around $150. . .















Myself and my group posing right in front of the camera, showing our project proudly to the press








Behind the success of our project our TSO, Mr Lim.

He is the best TSO I ever seen. When we needed help, he is always there for us. Cheers for him..

I hope he can continue to be helpful to the rest of the students.







We actually have a time to view some of the exhibit at the science centre. If you guys have the time, do take look there...







Mouse doing his hip hop trademark...













His innocent looks....













Does he look like a Eurasian to you?

















Actually he is...












Sapa aje menyebok tu eh...
















Do I look like the next" Sir stamford" ?












I'm going to miss you guys... I had a great time working you with... *sob* *Sob*

I will try to update you guys more tomorrow.. so stay tune...!!!

Yeahh.... A week to payday

Friday, June 13, 2008

Pheww.... Finally 1 more week to pay day.. Whoo0... Can't wait for the it to come...

Sorry I guys didn't have time to blog for the past few days. I was so busy for the past few days when the moment I reach home, I couldn't think of nothing except sleep. (Heheh)

Let me recalled what happen for the past few days...

I finally gotten myself a hubstation. (Yeahh..Off it goes from my wishlist) It cost me around $198 and 2 years contract with starhub. I think it is really worth it. I'm able to to record certain show which I'm unable to view due to my bz schedule.

The hubstation specification:
  • 120Gb hardisk
  • 2 Tv Tuner
  • Ethernet / USB Port
It is able to record up to 60 hours. Built in 2 tuners which allows you to record and watch other channel. (really useful) Came with 1Mbps internet connection. (Free internet access until 31 dec)

Currently, I'm trying to figure out how to download the movie which I have recorded earlier on. (quite hard as the recording are encrypted in the hardisk)

Below are the picture inside the hubstation which already has been dismantle:

After you have taken out the hardisk

The 1 and only 1 fan attached to the HDD holder/case

Driver meeting (thursday)

When driver are concern, we always emphasis on road safety. We need to enforced them to follow the journey plan which are given to them to avoid narrow roads or sharp bend. We can't afford to have any road accident.

I need to check their vehicle and the product they carrying whenever they wanted to go to service station. Check for water and fuel contamination are on of the basic practice whenever they want to leave the station.

Sound really boring rite??? Its all part or parcel of my job scope. It is really a hassle and tiring job. So many safety checks.... (when will this ever end??)

My job really required lots of meeting and continuous of life long learning. (does this sentence make really sense? I wonder....) I constantly need to upgrade myself and need to be aware of my surrounding.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Titi was really notti this few weeks. She had better nothing to do then to disturb me early morning and keep on teasing me (while is on bed). I keep telling myself, I shall have my revenge on her soon or later, true enough it was raining heavily on Wednesday and she forgotten to bring her umbrella. (Hahah) I was laughing all the way when she told me she soak in the rain. (serve you rite for disturbing me early in the morning)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm too tired to blog... Feeling sleepying while bloogging... niyte nite.....


Scruple....

Monday, June 9, 2008

I have been feeling uneasy lately. This feeling of mine has made me very worry. It keep telling me that I will not get a confirmation from my work place. This feeling has not been fading away from day one, in fact it grew stronger each day. How I wish there is someone who I can talk to. Sometimes I miss those period when I am attached. Whenever I got a problem, I know who to look for. At the moment, I been keeping a lot of things to myself. I really wish there is someone out there who I can really talk.

I haven't been talking to Yanti lately. She must have been to busy with her work, I guess !! I have a crush on her ever since she broke up with her bf. I still remember how I console her over the phone. We would go out together whenever the both of us is free... I would fetch her from Vivo and we will have our dinner there.

But...

Everything changes when her ex-bf started to contact her back. Things is not the same as before. Maybe we are not fated to be together. I dunno...

Nowadays I notice that girls have a polite way of rejecting a guy. They would simply say I'm not ready to settle down or I am not looking at the moment. Every guy would understand that, esp ppl like me. (naive me !!) Some would even waited for the gal. (Foolish guy)

Then without you knowing, they are attached the following weeks. Wah... they managed to settle down and looking for the right one withnin weeks. (Get the point !!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





This is one of the prestigious award I won during my stay in Ngee Ann Poly.

I hate people who like to look down on me. I can achieve things at a greater height if I wanted to. I'm simply lazy thats all.

Overall, I still regret for not doing well during my secondary days. If not, I would have gotten to Uni by now.






------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have 3 more weeks to go before I have to report to camp for my reservist. Arghh... such a waste of time. I wish I would be earning 5k and there isn't a need for me to go for reservist. I have no idea what is the life in reservist. A lot of my friends keep saying it is much much tougher than in Full time NS.

How I wish I could end this misery of mine.. No More NS !!!!

Sometimes I wish the ladies should serve the NS. If not for 2 years, why not 3 months of their time? At least they know how we feel back there...

Don't your guys feel the same way as I do??

Long day...

Sunday, June 8, 2008

It has been a very long day for me today... During weekdays, I only had to work for 7 hours but on Sunday, I need to work additional 3 hours more. While others are enjoying their weekends and pampered themselves by waking up slightly later then usual, I have to wake up early in the morning just to go to work. (Darn it !!)

I knock off from work slightly late then usual (normally would be 3) because the usual scheduler has gone for holidays and the new scheduler hasn't had enough experience to do scheduling. The role of the scheduler is to scheduler for tomorrow delivery. It is not an easy job. You need to remember the truck compartment and the destination at your finger tips. You need years of experience to do so.

Farhan called me up and check with me what time I knock off from work. He wanted me to join him with Arshad to beach road. All along I wanted to buy stuff for my reservist. (Darn it..) It will be just around the corner. I have lost and throw most of my stuff when I was back in NS. Either I'm to lazy to carry the stuff home or it was stolen by some fucker !!!

Somehow Arshad surprise us by saying he going to get married next July. Farhan will be the year after.. I dunno when will be my turn. Married is really out of question as I'm not even attached at the moment.

I think there shouldn't be a problem if you are talking about money. Money is not a factor but finding that perfect one is a biggest problem for me.

Money isn't everything. It true that you can't survive without money but can u survive without being loved?


Some of the stuff I bought from Beach Rd.

Bursen Burner = $25
Gas = $2

This portable gas is very important when you are in outfield. They can be very useful as it can help you cooked a delicious meal (mostly Instant noodles or canned food) when you are out there.

Mosquito Coil Holder = $4.50
Mosquito Coil = $2

Get rid of those annoying Mosquitoes.

Torce Light = $8/-
Shoe Lace= $0.50
ZipLock Bag = $3

Total Spent = $45

This few things has cost me a bomb and my money is running low.... I need to save up if I were to buy a new car or married (in future).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I been driving my current car for at least for a year. The car has giving me lots of problem lately, air con leakage, broken shaft and etc etc.. It has cost me around 4k just to get this things repaired. This is one of the reason I wanted to change a new car. New Car and a new beginning.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently I'm watching incredible tales. Gosh.. it is damn scary Lor... I'm beginning to hug my pillow as I was watching it. (hehe) I dunno if I ever can go to sleep tonight. Bringing someone back to life?? Crazy... The one inside her body must be some setan or demon...

It remind me of the incident I have encountered back then... Of course it got nothing to do with bringing someone back to life..


Recaps...

Friday, June 6, 2008

Woke up a little bit late than the usual. Was chatting on a phone with a friend of mine. Oh my, she is very talkative and most of the time we were laughing and giggling. Little did I realise it was 3am in the morning and I had to go to school first thing in the morning to return my graduation attire. (Is that Wat you called?)

The moment I step into school this morning, I beginning to recall lots of memories that happen during my school days.

Some of the picture we took during our graduation day:

This are the most closest friends I had during my stay in poly. Firazri, Fauzi, Steven and myself. (Left to right)

Among the 4 of us, Firazri is the most hardworking. I would copy all his tutorials, lecture notes and even some of his essays. (hehe)

Fauzi was the smarter one but the laziest person I ever met in my entire life.. (heheh)

As for myself.. its up to you to judge..





These are my ex-classmate. I'm going to miss them a lot esp the time when i copying all their tutorials and essay. (heheh)

Even do NP have this set of rules call plagiarism, we can still counter it back by changing certain words or sentences. For example: Most of the NP student are helpful. We change it to, Most of the student are helpful and obedient. (hehe)






Can you spot Yanti? She is the most cutest and bubbly person I ever met.. Goshh.. when the first time I met her, she was so arrogant and always giving me a cold shoulder. If I asked her a question she would simply answer me by a WORD. (sighh ...!!!)

Ps: Will post few more picture once I gotten them from Phyo and Deepa.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is so many things happen at work today. First of all there is an air lock at one of the arm. The motor keep on running despite there is no product flow. This is the factor which causes air lock. In order to fix it, were have to release the air valve and let the air flow out.

2ndly, one of the arm in bay 3 was giving in more product than it should be. Because of this factor, the product hit the sensor and cause the civacon to trip. Causing double work for the driver and my teamates. The driver had to scope out the oil from the truck and as for myself, I need to renominate the truck and assign it to another bay.

Lastly, I couldn't balance up the figure between the SAP and the Product. Making me worried up till now. If I didn't tally up the meter, we would have a problem running the operation.

Nowadays, I have gain more confident on running the operation. I have 2 of the most experience team mates on my shift. They have never failed to clear my doubts and I love to ask them questions. Nowadays, I beginning to notice that I have talk a lot, became more talkative then ever. I dunno whats is wrong within me. (You can tell by the way I blog)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Farhan has been away to Indonesia and will be back this coming Sunday. FYI he is my best friend. He is always there for me whenever I needed him. (Goshh, Do I sound like a gay??)

I am going to kill him once he get back here !!! Before he left to Indon, he was asking me, "Razi when are you going to create your next agenda?"

Guess what?? I had a meeting the following day and I have not even prepare anything for it.. I was fully unaware and unprepared... FARHAN you are so dead !!! Cursing me for something your shouldn't have... (Sharpening my knife.... )



Working Life . . .

Thursday, June 5, 2008

I was back home early today, way much earlier than I expected. Started work at 1.30pm and ended around 5.30pm. Have you ever came across such flexible kind of working hours and they give you 3k per month? Well my current job just did !!!

My working hours:

6am to 1pm (Morning Shift)
1pm to 8pm (Noon Shift)

Among this two shifts, I prefer to work in the Noon shift. Normally around 5 - 6pm I would have finish working and get ready to go home. (hhehee)

There is no such things as a perfect jobs in this world, mine is no exception. The higher your salary the higher responsibilities you will have.

I need to face 3 monitors every morning or noon without failed !!! Sooner or later my spectacles will get thicker (believe me) !!! They installed 3 air-con inside my office to prevent the PC from getting overheat. Imagine each air-con is set at 18 degrees.. You have no idea how cold it is...

Imagine I have to sign over and average of 100 documents a day. I'm just afraid that one of the document I sign might have some error in it and when they traced it back, all fingers will start pointing at me. That is one of the biggest fear which no one in my office would want to encounter.

Let me draw out the advantages and disadvantages of my job:

Advantages:
  • Short working hours
  • Higher Pay
  • 17 days per year (will increase gradually)
  • Higher Bonuses

Disadvantages:
  • Not much friends
  • More responsibility (can't afford to make any mistake)
  • Need to work on public hols and Sunday (beginning to adapt to it)
  • Need to memorise lots of info (halfway there !!)
  • Lots of meeting to attend to (Fun at times, remind me of sch)
  • Very hard to cancel a document once it is been generated out by the PC

For your info, I currently working in one of the Petroleum Company. I'm in-charge of the service station and the safety of the driver while loading the product.

I need to ensure all product are to delivery to the station on time. This is to prevent the product from being stockout. The station is losing money every minute when a stockout occur. To prevent this from happening, we have to enforce the driver to came on time. (Easier said then done !!)

That is only the partial of what my jobscope. There is more to comes... I don't think you would be interested to know all of them.. Hehe...

Life after graduation

Wednesday, June 4, 2008

Once again I have proven to my relative that I can be very successfully despite having completed my secondary school without getting an O' Level.

It was a tough argument between me and them. Their words still rings inside my ear like how the church rings their bell on every Sunday morning; "You can never be successfully when you enter ITE".

My cousin often say, it is easy to get an award in ITE. Just look at him now, he can't even cope in his studies let alone enter Poly. (HEHEH !!)

I love to prove to people with my abilities and capabilities. Chey wah.. like real only...!!!

I am so proud of my overall academic achievements..

1) LBKM Top Malay Student Award
2) National Youth Achievement Award (Silver)
3) Eagles Award


Ngee Ann Poly:
1) Attain Silver award for Ngee Ann Best Project Award
2) Tan Kah Kee Commodation Award


Professional Certificate:
1) Hewleet Packard TECHNICAL CERTIFICATION Course

Academic Path:
1) Princess Elizabeth Primary (PSLE)
2) Shuqun Secondary School (N' Level)
3) ITE Yishun (NTC 2 Electronics)
4) ITE Dover (Higher NITEC Mechatronic)
5) Ngee Ann Poly (Diploma in Mechatronic)
6) SIM (BSCs Business Information Technology Honours)

I am so looking forward on the 2oth and 21st of Jun. I can't wait to work hand in hand with my projectmates. (bunch of crazy yet talented ppl) Esp when we have a chance to flirt or mingle with gals from others school. FYI my project will be displayed in Science Centre and we are going to received the award personally from RDM Teo Chee Hien. ( I hope i spell his name correctly, Sorry Sir!!)

I'm going to SIM instead of NTU or NUS. I forgotten that I haven't sat for my O' Level back then and I need to take SATS paper inorder to switch faculty in NTU Or NUS. (DAMN !!)

Too lazy to study for SATS and I know I will not make it thru.. Hehe...

Still waiting for Pyho, Deepa, Firazri, Kok Fai and Beloved Yanti (will tell u more abt her in the next few entries) to pass me the graduation photo.

I have so much to write but unfortunately I have little time to spare...

Until then... cya...
