Tempat: Lounge, Marriot Putrajaya.

Lelaki: Aku bukan tipikal.

Aku: (diam..)

Lelaki: Kau percaya tuhan?

Aku: (sedut air kelapa.. tempurung kelapa dihias cantik dengan payung pink. Payung pink?)

Lelaki: Kau tengok orang berkopiah tu.. Dia buang tisu atas lantai. Apa kau fikir?

Aku: (masih buat-buat minum air kelapa..)

Lelaki: .....

Lelaki itu dan aku pulang sekitar jam 2 pagi. Dalam kereta, terngiang diskusi jalan-sehala tadi...

On average, employees work between 3-5 years in a company.

I am already working in this company for 5 years..
Several offers are up for grab. Some offers are so good to be true.
Should I leave?

Statistically, potential employees above 35 years of age will start having difficulties changing careers/changing jobs.

I am already 28. Should I make my move now?

Waddafak!

Living Tough; being in a self-destructing, self vandalizing society

2009-02-27T14:47:00.007+08:00

Many would agree on this.. It's a tough life we are living out here.

One of the reason would be; Why in h*ll, they are so "c.*.b.*.*"!!!

A self-destructing society will get worse if some would reward bad behavior, while a self-vandalizing society would do things that against moral (even they know it's ethically wrong").

The two terms I've mentioned are totally different from each other. Somehow, I have a theory that it's a common scenario for any country that have the history being under occupation. Look at the Philippines, African countries, India, Iraq, ex-Soviet countries.... Same happens!

Our society is a wreck!

Any vacancies available? Preferably it comes with a 5 figure income + benefits package!

Revisiting at our As we have collected.. Does it bring any good to us?

2009-01-28T21:42:00.009+08:00

Recently, I went to my high school alumni dinner. Lots of VIPs, and even VVIPs. Last years dinner, the Sultan of Selangor even mencemar duli, came for dinner.

Having such opportunity to study at that particular school somehow made me proud. But, not anymore when somebody spoils all the fun by bragging and showing off stuffs, while at the same time, choosing associates. Keji!

What is great about of having a RM0.5M house at the age of 28 and brag to everyone about it? Whats in that Ferrari the you bought, together with a Porsche Cheyenne, and a Beemer X6 that can make you look down on other people?

Resam padi, makin berisi, makin tunduk!

I left the party with a battered ego, together with mixed emotions of hatred, frustration, pissed and surprisingly thrilled (its one helluva reunion, btw! catching up activities, some info exchange and GOSSIPS!).

That feeling lingered for several days, until God himself shows his warm love and kind attention to me. He send his signal.

This morning, as I was on my way to work, I saw that same old but poor lady living a hard life. The same ol'lady who shed for years under the flyover in Wangsa Melawati...

I saw her just finished doing her laundry. I saw her torn and old clothes hanging on the parking rail. I saw her hungry face.. I feel sad for her.. and I can feel her loneliness. I never saw if she had a husband or kids.

It also remind me of that Bandung kid during my trip there a year ago. He about 8-10 (at most) when he already experienced the bitterness in life. Barefooted, he carrying a couple of "lesung batu" on his shoulder. Earlier, I saw several boys selling "lesung batu" at traffic lights at 8am. I remembered, it was almost 10pm, raining, when he was stopped by a parking guard. Shivering, drenched, tired, hungry and bad luck, he was "pau-ed" his hard earned money by that cold hearted bastard.

If you think your life is hard, they suffered worst.
If you think that you are so damn-hell-better than others, take a good look around you.

Astaghfirullah... Alhamdullilah.

An Entry About Corporate Debt..

2009-01-17T00:11:00.005+08:00

Geez! Another boring entry... I am sorry!!! But i can't help it. Having a recent, good "silence mode" really push my ideas into galaxies and beyond.

** silence mode is when I churned my experience, digesting my all theories and learnings. Assimilating it in mind. Often happen after several readings, or after big events that lead into it.

One book I have read recently is about corporate debt collection. From the book; they say that 1/3 of people pay because its the right thing to do. The next 1/3 pays only if they know that somebody is watching them. The other 1/3 pays because if they know that they will end up in lots of trouble by not paying. Hell, I don't know where the figure where people don't even bother of paying, or purposely don't care a shit about paying their debt.

However, the book advises;

1. Not to take good paymaster for granted.

Rewarding good behavior is the key. Therefore, a mutual win-win situation is created and kept for life.

2. Provide a clear and prompt billing process.

Often SMEs enterprises are not good at this, whilst others are juggling with this matter. Due to constraints (management, trainings and financial isues normally), many are destroyed by slow, misunderstanding and inaccurate billing process. Inaccuracy and confusing bills and statements will only hinder or creating delayed payments. In other words, QUALITY SERVICES!. Often, good customers turn into bad due to a bad billing error, or product dispute.
Avoid chain reactions that will hurt your organisation. Resolve any disputes quickly. Never ruin the relationship that your business partners are having with you.

3. Make it easy to pay.

How many of us grunted for a bad service? Same applies to your organization. Providing multiple payment options, or providing an easy access for payments will enable customers to be loyal, and creating more good paymasters.

Notably, many retailers are enjoying good cash flow as there are; only one payment terms = pay and leave, and multiple payment method = cash or credit card.

Hands On Tips for Small Businesses..

2009-01-15T13:28:00.004+08:00

I stumbled this entry from my aunt's blog. Interesting, thou... Either way, there must be something that could be learnt, kan?

MOHD NASIR MUTALIP menulis kepada Tuan SAIFUDDIN AWANG pemilik kedai buku Pustaka Munirah di Kemaman:

Asalamualaikum. Saya Mohd Nasir yang tinggal di Perak. Saya ada membaca tentang kehebatan Pustaka Munirah dalam blog Universiti PTS sehingga tersenarai "Pelanggan Emas" PTS. Sebenarnya saya ada merancang untuk membuka sebuah kedai buku dan alat tulis didaerah tempat saya tinggal. Saya ingin meminta sedikit tips-tips dari tuan bagi memberi motivasi pada saya.

(a) Berapa modal yang diperlu untuk membuka sebuah kedai buku
(b) Dimanakah boleh saya mendapat bekalan buku-buku terutama buku sekolah
(c) Tentang mesin fotostat. Dimanakah boleh saya mendapatkannya terutama dengan harga murah.

Semoga saya mendapat tips dari saudara dan kita berkerjasama. Sekian. Terima kasih

Mohd Nasir bin Mutalip

Tuan SAIFUDDIN AWANG menjawab:

Waalaikumussalam. Terima kasih di atas minat dan pertanyaan saudara. Untuk kali ini, saya hanya menjawab secara ringkas kerana kesuntukan masa. Sebenarnya saya baru pulang dari fardu haji seminggu yang lalu, jadi banyak urusan kedai termasuk penempahan stok yang habis dan penghantaran barang yang mesti diselesaikan. Maklumlah awal tahun, banyak pejabat yang memerlukan "barangan baru". Saudara boleh email saya semula selepas ini.

(a) Saya memulakan perniagaan saya pada bulan Julai 2005 dengan modal sebanyak RM100,000 dengan menggunakan duit simpanan sendiri (saya dan isteri). Ini termasuklah peralatan kedai seperti rak, mesin fotostat, deposit sewa kedai dan sebagainya. Bagi saya, jumlah ini adalah memadai untuk sebuah kedai yang 'sederhana'. Kedai besar seperti Popular, MPH mungkin memerlukan modal sekitar RM 500,000. Bagi kedai kecil, mungkin sekitar RM50,000.

Apabila kedai kita berkembang baik dan akaun kita "cantik molek", bank mungkin mempertimbangkan untuk memberi kita sedikit facility. Alhamdulillah, sekarang Maybank Islamic ada memberi saya sedikit "Islamic cash facilities" (overdraf)... tetapi ambil masa juga untuk mendapatnya dan isteri saya yang bekerja sebagai pegawai kerajaan terpaksa menjadi penjaminnya. Tetapi OKlah... bolehlah guna jika terdesak.

(b) Saya tidak menjual buku-buku sekolah kerana persaingan yang sengit di sini terutamanya dari "salesman" dari Kuantan. Jadi kedai saya hanya memfokuskan buku-buku umum terbitan PTS, Alaf 21, Al Hidayah, Telaga Biru, Anbakri, Buku Prima dan beberapa syarikat kecil lagi. PTS dan Alaf21 adalah 'gergasi buku' di Malaysia. Apabila kita mempunyai akaun dengan mereka (dan yang penting, membayar hutang-hutang mereka dengan baik!!), kita seolah-olah sudah mempunyai buku-buku yang terbaik di Malaysia. Ini juga merupakan alat pemasaran (marketing tool) kita. Kita boleh dengan bangganya memberitahu pelanggan kita, "Tuan mahu order buku PTS? Boleh... sebab kita wakil pengedar PTS di sini...".

Selain dari itu, kedai saya juga menjual alat-alat tulis dan khidmat percetakan digital. Khidmat percetakan memerlukan pengalaman. Kebetulan saya ada pengalaman dalam bidang ini kerana saya pernah bekerja di syarikat percetakan sebelum ini selama 15 tahun.

Untuk mendapat bekalan buku sekolah, saya rasa saudara perlu menelefon mereka sendiri. Cari nombor telefon pada buku-buku terbitan mereka. Ini pun kena banyak 'berdoa' sebab kadang-kadang mereka tidak layan. Saya sendiri sebenarnya mengambil masa juga untuk mendapat kepercayaan penerbit.

Alaf 21 - saya dapat akaun dan kredit selepas menelefon mereka dan salesman mereka datang sendiri 'menjenguk' kedai saya.
PTS - saya dapat akaun dan kredit selepas setahun membeli secara 'cash'; maknanya tempah buku, bayar kemudian barulah mereka hantar buku.
Al Hidayah/ArRisalah - mereka datang ke kedai saya setelah mereka dicadangkan (recommend) oleh Badan Cemerlang Johor Bahru. Saya biasa "berbual-bual" dengan salah seorang pengurus Badan Cemerlang ketika saya bekerja di Johor Bahru dulu.

Ada juga beberapa pembekal alat tulis yang datang ke kedai saya setelah dicadangkan oleh rakan-rakan salesman mereka yang lain. Yang penting, kita jaga nama baik kita. Dan kita akan dianggap "pelanggan emas" apabila semua hutang dan bil dibayar mengikut jadual. Kalau ada masalah duit, jangan segan untuk telefon mereka dan berbincang dengan cara baik. Paling penting, jangan lari dari hutang dan kita mesti selalu sematkan dalam kepala bahawa hutang wajib dibayar.

(c) Mesin fotostat mesti dibeli dari syarikat yang berhampirang dengan kedai saudara kerana ia memerlukan servis. Jika beli dari KL walaupun harganya murah, siapa akan buat servis jika mesin rosak? Jadi mesti berhati-hati sebelum membeli mesin ini.

Sekianlah untuk kali ini. Harap ia memberi sedikit idea untuk saudara.

Saifuddin.

Midnight Ramblings

2008-12-13T00:28:00.004+08:00

I have many ideas and theories on leadership... In fact, too many that puts me in a position I don't know where, how to start and what to write.

...

I noticed many bloggers wrote about Obama. Obama here... Obama there... Obama this... Obama that... If one would notice, there are two main topics on Obama. Either he is such an inspiration to one, or about his powerful speeches.

Alas! One of the stated in the Theory of Public Choice (which is based on economic principles) is that it is assumed that everyone is primarily motivated by self-interest. Self interest that may reflect on a certain executed behavior.

Why is Obama being accepted by many? Why is he seemed so aspiring? Why is he having large support worldwide? What consequences (short/medium/long period) will it do to the society, economy, and cultural in U.S?

People are putting such high hopes and trust on him.

I wish him luck!

......

Having the opportunity to travel gave me such an advantage. A privilege that I enjoyed and intend to keep. I had seen the best colors of life. But there are so much more to do. A lot more can be perfected and improvised.

But in a way a better could be served, one should remember... A rose can't be picked without having fingers pricked.

....

Why are there so many violence?
Why are there so many poverty?
Why are they greedy?

Who can you rely in making the world a better place? Your government? Your neighbours? or YOURSELF?

How long will you be good to yourself/others? One hour? Two hours? Four hours?
How long will you be a role model to others? One hour? Three hours? Five hours?
How long would you want to be as an aspiration to others? 4 years? 20 years? Forever?

A Quickie Sambil Shopping..

2008-12-01T00:04:00.000+08:00

Haaa...

Apa korang fikir?...

Pasal inilah entri ni ditulis...:

"They're not going to shoot us; it's not Iraq. We might have to pay fine and serve a little time in jail" Ted Stevens, Alaskan Senator, caught red-handed on tape.

What was that all about?

Aku tak salahkan warna kulit, kenegaraan, dialek yang digunakan, atau agama apa yang dia anut. Aku salahkan sifat buruk dia... dan dirinya sahaja...

But, that life. Aku pernah berjalan-jalan (tanpa shopping... sungguh!) di OU that other day. A simple survey;

Bahan ujikaji: Makhluk berkaki dua, dan berakal = Homo Sapiens

Scenario: Korang jalan dan berselisih dgn orang yang dari arah bertentangan.

Test: Cuba kira;

1. Jumlah besar berapa kali korang berselisih,
2. Berapa ramai yang sama-sama memberi laluan/mengiring.
3. Berapa ramai yang secara penuh bangga dengan nilai ke-snobbish-an mereka berjalan terus macam korang tak wujud. W-T-F!

Now, tanpa prejudis, ambil kira warna kulit dan keturunan. Kenapa? Racist-pig?

Tak... bukan macam itu. Secara umum kita tahu yang setiap individu ada institusi kekeluargaan masing-masing, dan dkt Malaysia sendiri ada beberapa sekolah yang diasing-asing mengikut kaum (Ya! sistem pendidikan kita juga RACIST!). Jadi secara umum, kita tahu sistem kekeluargaan/pembelajaran yang mana (secara gambaran kasar) adalah tak efektif.

Tapi, kerosakan moral tak tertakluk pada kaum. Senario dalam LRT, macam yang biasa jadi. A) scene masa rush hour, b) scene LRT penuh, tak ada tempat duduk untuk makcik tua yang kendong cucu...

But, mana tempatnya dysfunctioned areas/loopholes yang tepat yang boleh diambil tindakan pembetulan?. Is it a chicken n egg situation? Can we really ( I mean.. REALLY!) rely on our policy makers? (yg mana mereka ni juga politicians, they will do anything for their periuk nasi.. termasuk menjadi hipokrit yang korup).

To me, morality adalah prinsip hidup, with a little common sense dan keazaman untuk execute. It's not about kindness. It's MORAL!.

...

Kan?..

Quick Post: Lama dah tak update..

2008-11-24T22:55:00.007+08:00

don't bother... it's merely just ramblings n imaginations.

My friends are thinking that I am too busy,
In fact they are too afraid to "disturb" me.

My parents are doing everything themselves,
They said: "you're a grown up already, dear. Take care of yourself."

I don't have time for soul searching anymore,
I haven't lie my back on grass, under the stars for quite some time.

My mobile phone kept ringing... even during weekends, dinner time, night time, and poo poo time.
They assumed I should be available 24/7?.

Holidays is never a privillege,
As for others, BAD NEWS!.

Hot chicks don't flock me anymore,
Am I turning into a walking wikipedia?

Who says Hussein Bolt is the greatest athlete?
Guess who had to run in office to get THAT extra second? 9-5 anyone?

Workaholism?
Buruh paksa-ism.

I adore Louis V. Gerstner!
He sack politicians!

I think I've lost a life I should have deserved...

Wat 2 Write... (#2)

2008-11-03T00:12:00.004+08:00

I have been asked for the second time to write a book.

The difference is... it's a professional book, about marketing/business finance/new business ideas.

Damn..

My aunt have been trying every now and then to persuade me to write a book. fiction. but i never did. now a bestseller and also a prominent writer is asking me to write with him? professional subject?

huhuhuhu..

Wat 2 wriTe... wat 2 wriTe?..

2008-10-26T03:17:00.004+08:00

geez...

writing is hard.. in many cases, i have godzillion of ideas. but when it comes to being logged in d intie, shit happens. my mind freezes. my fingers grew numb.

my blog have been labeled as THE SERIOUS TYPE!! (thanks caza! a compliment, kan?) but it ain't me at all (kan kawan2...). btul, wa tatak tipu punya...

.......

i am enrolling for a 2 years part time study course @ MIM.. owh, please help me god! let me have this chance!

But another HAKS!....

I have been dreaming to learn aikido (yang nampak gayanya kena postpone dulu... huhuhu!)

wait! another HAKS!...

After my back pain subsides (my ortho said that my back strained a little bit too much (baca OVERWORKED!), me am going for PARAGLIDING! Hurrah!

...... I believe i can fly..... now everyone can fly! Even stuart little!

.....

It sucks when having a bad blog reader don't you think? even though blogs are set as public postings, it doesn't make it legal to make use of one's privacy in an unethical manner.

i pity those bloggers that have been mistreated by irresponsible blog readers. (that includes you, mr government!)

blogs are great! I learnt a lot bout many things through blogs... i have shared smiles, maddness, sadness and etc. with bloggers. i learnt bout other cultures and habits, gags and gigs... it's such a waste...

(i missed reading daphne's blog... sigh!)

.....

part from my findings about singaporeans, i am impressed in the way they get things done. and of course i am not talking about average singaporeans (what for? duh!).

1. they love doing things perfectly choreographed, and they want it to look good. no melepaskan-kentut-di-tangga attitude.

2. public perception and maketing at it's best!.

Dealing with Incompetent Leaders

By Carole Nicolaides

As a mid-level employee, you’ve been working for the ACME Company, a manufacturing firm, for the past two years. Your job performance has been solid, and on occasion, even praiseworthy. However due to the current economic conditions – poor profit earnings, massive layoffs and company restructuring, you now find yourself working for a new boss. Ordinarily reporting to a new leader would not pose a real problem but this time it feels different -- management practices have changed. The team environment has been transformed from one of true collaboration, honest dialogue and a commitment to problem solving to one where backstabbing, finger pointing and plain fear are the norms. Congratulations – you are now under the control of an “incompetent” leader!

An “incompetent” leader by definition is someone whose action destroys camaraderie, instill gossip, encourage dishonesty, and prevent people from speaking freely. “Incompetent” leaders tend to use their own weapons to get noticed and promoted. They usually lack vision, interpersonal communication skills and confidence to resolve conflict.

You might think the term “incompetent” leaders should only be reserved for those in the company’s upper echelon such as the Chief Executive Officer of Chief Financial Offer.

After all, aren’t they the ones entrusted with setting the direction for the entire organization? While this may be true to a certain extent – CEOs do serve as the “compass” for the company, but many CEOs are not directly involved in the daily operations of their organizations. Those responsibilities fall on the shoulders of senior and middle managers. And, it is the “collective leadership” of those managers -- their style of execution, their effective ability to communicate, manage and motivate their teams that keep companies on course. If a leader lacks the competency to manage his or her team, then team morale diminishes, productivity and performance drops, and companies ultimately fail. What’s worst is the fact that today we live in a heavy Information Economy where bad news about a company spreads instantly thereby allowing competitors to profit from your company’s incompetent leadership.

In the quest to attain “better and cheaper staff,” one would think that organizations had all the advantages needed to rid their companies of every single under-performing employee – managers included. However, nothing could be farthest from the truth. Unfortunately in many cases, it is the good, high-performing, mid-level employees who first are shown the door, while ineffective managers – the ones who really need to take a hike – remain.

For whatever reason these foul apples may have been left behind; the fact that they are present causes a lot of problems either through their actions or sometimes through their inactions. The truth is that “incompetent leaders” have always existed and will continue to exist despite the best efforts from HR and other performance improvement initiatives to detect and remove them before bringing irreparable harm to an organization.

So what can you do to protect yourself and survive working for an “incompetent” leader? Here are some quick tips:

1. Do not make it a personal matter. This is a hard one, simply because working for an incompetent boss is such a personal matter. Remember, that most of these leaders do not have a problem directly with you, but they too are frustrated and are shouting loud their own insecurities -- most likely mirroring to you things that they should be doing.

2. Observe Your Boss. It might sound funny, but notice what is going on around your boss. In case you’ve known or worked with your boss before and you observe a sudden change, then your next step should be to take action right away. The problem could be as simple as someone asking him something way out of his league, or someone talking to him about you and your team. Whatever the reason might be you need to act and confront your boss as soon as possible. If you do this at the beginning, you might be able to stop a snowball effect -- not only for you but also for the entire team. Confrontation does not come easy for most people, yet if you seek a constructive conversation, have an open mind, avoid turning it into a personal attack, you might be able to ease tensions with your boss and also improve his position.

3. Accumulate Facts. Nothing is irrelevant if you work in an unhealthy environment. You need to make sure that you accumulate all the things that matter for your career -- the good as well as the bad stuff. Good things that you’ve done, bad things that have happened to you, and things that you could have done better. The key here is to have nothing against you, nothing that will give people permission to talk about you and question your character.

4. Know Your Value. You might feel beaten down, overworked, under appreciated and doubtless about your true value. Grow up! Things happen and your value does not diminish simply because one cannot see your true value. If you are a professional, do a good job, and the people that work with you will see a direct contribution to the team’s success. Then be sure that you have created your own evangelists – people who will tell others about your true value.

5. Expand Your Network. Now, more than ever, you need to think that working for a large company is not very different than working on your own. You need to learn to promote yourself. People need to know who you are, within your company and outside your company. Successful business owners never stop networking. There are so many things you can learn simply by networking. The key here is to find 2 or 3 networking initiatives that you feel comfortable doing and commit to them.

6. Seek For Comfort Outside Your Office. Many people often make this mistake. They work for an incompetent boss and they start complaining about her or him to a “good friend” who also works for the company. For whatever reason this might happen because you are seeking comfort or love. Sometimes you simply need a sounding board in order to release the pinned-up stress. Do it outside the office and avoid discussing your problems with others with whom you work.

Times have changed and even though it might seem hard to work for someone that you know is not suitable for his or her position, remember things and people appear to us to teach something. The sad reality is most “incompetent” leaders do not get fired; they just move on and reinvent themselves in new companies. The chance that you will either work with the same leaders or someone like them again before your career ends is great. However if you manage to stay calm and think about the lessons you’ve learned and how to counteract incompetent behavior, you will have all the wisdom needed in order to become a better leader yourself in future jobs.

Will This Solution Do Work? Lets Discuss This Though Logic...

2008-10-15T17:03:00.003+08:00

Dealing with the Negative Employee

Do you have an employee who is frequently disgruntled with their job duties, with the organization, or with management? For example, does the employee go out of his or her way looking for something to complain about? Does the employee attempt to stir up discontent in his or her coworkers just for their own enjoyment? Does the employee take pleasure in being able to spot all the flaws in any new initiative the organization undertakes? Is the employee resistant to any proposed organizational change? Is the employee making you angry, frustrated, and helpless?

Let's face it! The negative employee is the type of employee that most managers would love to have call in sick, take an extended vacation, and then utilize all 12-weeks of their FMLA time. Unfortunately, for you as the manager, the negative employee comes to work everyday. Not only does the negative employee come to work everyday, he or she is usually never late to work, completes his or her job duties, and does not break any company policies. The negative employee does not provide you, the manager, with any easy to evaluate objective work performance deficits. Thus, you must deal with his or her negative behavior versus any easier to measure work performance deficits.

Have you ever wondered why the negative employee comes to work everyday if he or she is so unhappy with their job duties, the organization, or with management? Why doesn't the negative employee simply find another job where he or she will be happier?

There are two simple answers to these questions:

One, the main goal of a negative employee is to undermine and contaminate the workplace environment; thus, becoming toxic to the organization's ability to effectively function. In other words, why miss work when there is so much toxic work to do. In plain English, the negative employee's goal is to undermine either the organization or people within the organization for any number of reasons. (Note: It is more important to identify patterns versus causes of negative behaviors in the early stages of dealing with a negative employee.)

Two, the negatively employee is rewarded for their negativity inadvertently by their organization, e.g., pay increases, seniority, and good benefits etc...etc... So, why not come to work if you get paid to complete your goal of undermining others.

Note: If the negative employee's behavior has not been addressed in the past, it is quite possible that the negative employee has, for many years, received positive work performance evaluations with pay increases. After all, in terms of objective work performance measures, the negative employee has good attendance, is on time to work, does his or her job duties, and follows all company policies.

If you believe that you are a manager of a negative employee, the following steps will help you to successfully deal with his or her negativity.

1.) Observe and quantify the negative employee's behavior: Before you approach the negative employee, you need both observational data, i.e., examples of negative behavior, and an accurate quantifiable account of the number of negative behaviors observed. For example, "I have observed you telling four employees last week that they should resist using the new accounting methods."

This first step does require a degree of preparation because without observing and quantifying instances of negative behaviors, the negative employee will simply discount your observations. For example, the negative employee might tell you he or she was simply joking, or that you misunderstood their true intentions.

Note: One instance of negative behavior is not enough evidence to label an employee as negative. Secondly, do not tell the employee he or she has a bad or negative attitude. Instead, describe the negative behavior and its negative impact on the organization and coworkers.

2.) Get organizational support: It is a good idea to run your data of negative behavior observations past another manager or your HR department, in order to get validation that the behaviors you have observed do indeed undermine the organization's goals or creates a toxic environment for other employees. It is also a good idea to work with another manager, who can act as a witness to your behavior, during any closed-door meeting you have with the negative employee. Remember, you are dealing with an employee who is already acting out their discontent; therefore, you need to have organizational support and a witness, to your interactions, when dealing with the negative employee.

3.) Forget the confession of wrongdoing: It is not necessary for the negative employee to admit to or apologize for his or her negative behavior. It is only your aim to bring to the negative employee's attention that you are aware of their toxic behavior.

4.) Affirm the organization's core beliefs: Inform the negative employee of the organization's mission, values, and goals. Succinctly tell the negative employee the mission of the organization, the values the organization espouses, and the goals the organization is attempting to achieve. Next, clearly articulate to the negative employee how his or her behavior undermines the organization's core beliefs, and how a change is necessary for both their individual success and the organization's success.

5.) Offer to help the negative employee: Ask the negative employee what would help him or her turn their negative behavior into positive behavior. In this step, you may get an explanation of what is motivating his or her negative behavior. The explanation may assist you in understanding what type of help to offer the negative employee to become more positive.

Consider a referral to an employee assistance counselor if the negative employee brings up personal, family, or mental health problems. If the employee is stubborn and refuses assistance, do not force professional assistance upon the negative employee (see step 7).

If the employee brings up work related issues, e.g., lack of advancement, stress, or job insecurity; consider providing the negative employee with supportive listening, coaching, and mentoring.

6.) Inform the negative employee that future work performance reviews will include both objective and subjective measures: One subjective measure may include an assessment of how the employee is either increasing or decreasing his or her negative behaviors, by asking colleagues and other managers for feedback. Don't forget to utilize a positive tone when discussing future work performance reviews; for instance, predict what a future passing work performance review will look like for the employee.

7.) Do not make the negative employee more negative: The goal is not to make a negative employee more negative, which is easy to do since the employee is already negative. Thus, you need to be very careful not to throw gas on a fire!

Remember these three rules:

Rule 1: You cannot change a negative employee with negativity. Hence, you must reframe from acting negative yourself. Keep your cool and be positive when talking with the negative employee.

Rule 2: Keep your overall expectations low. Do not expect an apology and do not expect the negative employee to admit to their negative behavior.

Rule 3: Employees want to be believed-in by their manager, even when they are being disciplined. Therefore, end your talk with a positive "you can do it" statement.

Happy Working,

Watching Grey's Anatomy last night on NTV7 made me feel what is it like to fail. Batinku menangis (RITE!.. lol)

Failing is never a fun thing to experience. Never will.

But being in the position of being a person who tried their best to help others, and failed, made me sad, angry, disappointed, tormented, (refer to thesaurus.com for other synonyms)...

...

But, being a failure means another learning lesson for a greater success, kan?

...

How bout being a failure because of others? Total nonsense, kan?

...

I have high expectation and standard... Maybe that's why I am not suitable to be a doctor.

Yay!.. Its Marie!...

Why In The World ...?

2008-10-06T14:06:00.018+08:00

It's a perfectly imbalanced world we are living.

"The heads of America's 500 biggest companies received an aggregate 54% pay raise last year. As a group, their total compensation amounted to $5.1 billion, versus $3.3 billion in fiscal 2003. "

-Forbes-

The U.S has been creating more billionaires per capita then any other countries in the world. I am not suprised when a columnist in an article in TheStar wrote about her chat wif a frustrated cabbie in LA.

Why bother rescueing your top 500 billionaires? In the end, hundred thousands people will still be jobless if failed. The billionaires will still have their exit plans: cash out!.

"In 1970, CEO salary and bonus packages were typically about $700,000 - 25 times the average production worker salary; by 2000, CEO salaries had jumped to almost $2.2 million on average, 90 times the average salary of a worker, according to a 2004 study on CEO pay by Kevin J. Murphy and Jan Zabojnik. Toss in stock options and other benefits, and the salary of a CEO is nearly 500 times the average worker salary, the study says."

-payscale.com-

Che Det made a logical accusation! American politician sucks. Damn the US Government for being a bully. You should be shameful.

"The US now owes the world US 14 trillion. There is no way it can ever settle this debt. If other countries fail to repay or service their debts, the US would demand that they be made bankrupt. Now the US is literally bankrupt..."

-Che Det-

Kenapa mau jadi gedebe lagi? You are a complete failure, big bully.

In Malaysia? A frustrated businessman I chatted this morning said even the government is doing bullshits. UMNO is betraying the DEB and the race that they should be defending/championing. Afterall, the lamest trick will be: berselindung belakang perundangan.

Now, so-called-ketua semua parti tengah bertelagah nak merebut jawatan. Semua nak jadi champion.

UMNO and Barisan Nasional should be shameful, too.

Americas financial haywire is lesson when the rich is getting richer. And they became greedier each second. Just imagine getting richer thousands of dollars in every second?

Politics is just a career that could achieve ones greed. It's not "berkhidmat untuk rakyat" anymore.

Innovation forecasting,,

John Naisbitt's 11 mindsets of forecasting

While many things change, most things remain constant.
The future is embedded in the present.
Focus on the score of the game.
Understanding how powerfull it is not to be right.
See the future as a picture puzzle.
Don’t get so far ahead of the parade that people don’t know you’re in it.
Resistance to change falls if benefits are real.
Things that we expect to happen always happen more slowly.
You don’t get results by solving problems but by exploiting opportunities.
Don’t add unless you subtract.
Don’t forget the ecology of technology.

Number 6 has been kinda cliche. Funny enough, my horoscope last Friday told me to lower my expectation in others. Ahaks!..

it sucks. but how can we change it? how can we make it a better place?

i asked one of my staffs at work, "....., do you think you have achieved something in life?"

she said, "no i haven't."

A Space for Myself.. please!

2008-09-06T23:18:00.003+08:00

There are times that I would rather have a shut down and keep quiet. Having my own "ssshhhh"... Btw, I am explaining bout my previously activated silence mode.

It turns out to be the longest silence mode I had ever...

Silence mode is very important for me. It's not about having a depression, or (whats the other word for sadness?), or stress, or conflict. It's just that I need a space of my own.

Having my own time and myself is important. It is the time I churn and digest and assimilate all the informations in my head. Just like defragging my LAPPIE (a friend of mine love that word).

Whenever I am on silence mode, you can actually say that I am in my cocoon. Soon when the time come, a beautiful butterfly will emerge. Thats the upgraded version of me.

"And sometimes, being quiet and all alone, I find myself. I find peace and I find answers to the many things in life. Think through things I don't usually think about.." -nicolekiss-

P/s: I was suprised when I read in nicole's blog bout this. Seems like we do have something in common. Hmmmm....?

Bad Example of Customer Service

2008-08-04T00:48:00.003+08:00

PDRM's customer service sucks!!.

They already spent (quite a figure of..) taxpayers money to boost their image, but still they sucks in providing a service that is rather commendable.

PM's directive to have more police station is fine to me. But still, I am ordered to travel to another police station to do my report on a buglary. And its like another 30 minutes driving (to that station) instead of that (merely) 5 minutes drive to the nearest police station from that crime scene.

Completely absurd n idiotic!

Simple but neglected customer service. Guess that suits the term Government's Servant! Can't they think properly?

Thats sugarcane that tasted good.

Responsibilities & My Dilemmas..

2008-07-03T22:32:00.006+08:00

Untuk sekian kalinya, aku dah diminta untuk memberikan khidmat konsultansi dan nasihat kepada seseorang berkenaan bisnes. Tapi kali ni, khidmat nasihat ini adalah untuk mengembangkan lagi bisnesnya.

I don't know what people think of me. Genius? Hot stuff? I humbly admit it. Hahahaha... hahahaha... hahahaha...

Sekali lagi aku dilanda tsunami rasa serba salah dan paling tidak gemar situasi ni!.

Keeping in a positive manner, I assume others see me high... Some acknowledged me as a genius... Some thinks they are smarter than me... Some respected me... Some took a little too much of me. Thanks.

But that's not the point. Perkara yang aku tidak gemar adalah bila aku tahu, pendapat yang akan aku kasi tu bakal merubah hidup seseorang dan seluruh kaum keluarganya. Its a big responsibility. I hate when I'm wrong (call me a perfectionist on this, I don't mind. The thing is, I have a high standard. Same goes with my expectations.). But humans do errors, kan...

It's one of a few situations that I hated most.

Restoran di Malaysia (ini adalah mengenai pelayan-pelayannya..)

2008-06-25T23:11:00.004+08:00

Berjalan masuk ke dalam restoran, sentiasa seronok dan menggelikan hati melihatkan pelayan-pelayannya melayan pelanggan. Lazimnya mereka akan;

1. Beranggapan semua pelanggan dah tahu semua menu (yang mampu) dimasak oleh tukang masak di dapur.

2. Memandang tinggi kebolehan tukang masak memasak apa-apa saja yang diminta/pesan oleh pelanggan.

3. Tidak kira berapa ramai yang duduk semeja, mereka akan tetap memberikan satu menu sahaja. Ini adalah kerana mereka adalah pembela alam sekitar yang cuba sedaya upaya meneruskan operasi restoran dengan meminimumkan penggunaan kertas dengan cara mencetak 1 senarai menu sahaja untuk semua.

4. Jika mahu mereka senyum, tambahan surcaj akan dikenakan dalam bil anda.

5. Harga minyak naik.. (atau) harga bahan besi dan komoditi naik.. (atau) harga tiket bas naik.. (atau) tarif utiliti naik.. (atau) PBT nak jalankan operasi.. (atau) ada desas desus mana-mana tempat ada kenaikan gaji dan bonus (esp kaki tangan kerah-jaan).. HARGA MAKAN PUN MESTILAH NAIK!! -itu aku belum bercakap lagi pasal harga tepung, susu, gula, telur, tauge, senduk naik-

6. I don't like you!.. (therefore you must pay more!)

Seorang blogger menyatakan berdasarkan pemerhatiannya tentang layanan pelanggan yang baik (staf-staf(ground crews) di Lapangan Terbang Orlando); "By reaching out and providing guidance to nearly everyone, they catch most people who need help before the guests even know what to ask for and maintain a really high throughput. High volume and high touch customer support at the same time."

Bidadari dan Si Naga Bongkok..

2008-06-04T02:48:00.002+08:00

Ahad lepas aku ke Kuala Terengganu..

Mak ajak pergi melawat Masjid Kristal. Abah pun sokong. Aku drive ke Kg Losong.

Sampai Taman Tamadun Islam, aku blur... Keliru dengan identiti Malaysia. Sekeliru dengan si pembuat polisi dan dasar.

Di hujung taman tersergamnya Masjid Kristal.

Aku blur sekali lagi... ada segerombolan pelancong buta di sana. Bukan meminta sedekah. MELANCONG!

Storytelling #1

Aku dapat bayangkan sekembalinya mereka ke rumah, berbual dengan rakan di serambi sambil minum kopi...

"Aku dengar kau pergi Terengganu hari tu? Betul?"

"Ya, best piaww!"

"Aiseh, menyesal aku tak daftar dengan Mak Limah hari tu. Kau pergi mana hari tu?"

"Banyak tempat diorang bawak kitorang. Sampai aku pun tak ingat dah. Tapi yang aku ingat diorang ada cakap-cakap kristal.... kristal... masjid kristal!"

"Huiyoo.. best! kau tengok apa dekat sana? Cantik, tak?"

"Tak taulah.. tak nampak apa pun!"

Huahuahua....

Storytelling #2

Insiden di tandas menyedarkan aku tentang kehidupan insan yang mempunyai kekurangan. Daif. Sangat daif!.

Mereka yang mempunyai kekurangan pancaindera penglihatan teraba-raba untuk menggunakan tandas. Perjalanan yang sangat jauh kukira bilamana proses untuk ke kamar kecil dari pintu masjid itu sejarak 10 meter itu mampu mengambil masa lebih dari 20 menit. Seksanya menahan kucil.

Bertanya-tanya dimana tandas... termangu-mangu dengan keadaan yang asing dan gelap.. teraba-raba arah pintu tandas.. beratur.. teraba-raba dan bereksperimentasi untuk menentukan yang mana satu tandas.. yang mana satu bilik mandi.. yang mana tandas yang dikunci kerana rosak (ingat, mereka ini tidak dapat melihat dan beranggapan perlu menunggu giliran kerana ada orang di dalam)... yang mana satu setor. . dimana lubang tandasnya... Kasihan..

Itu yang lelaki... lebih mudah.

Yang wanita? (saya tiada ditempat kejadian untuk melihat)

Yang sempurna hanya memandang....???

Aku pernah tulis betapa tidak sukanya aku dengan bola sepak..

tapi....

Aku ada peluang cerah nak jadi top scorer! Muahahaha!

tapi....

Sebelum tu, aku kena beli kasut futsal puma yang merah itu di al-Ikhsan Ampang Point dan tidak memakai kasut joging untuk merembat bola.

Keyakinanku tinggi...

Paranoid Politicians...

2008-05-28T20:34:00.009+08:00

Has our government being overly paranoid? I wonder.

In his speech today, our beloved DPM had calls for action against bloggers for their wild and baseless allegations raised in blogs. Read this.

Or, read this on being paranoid after the humilating PRU12 defeat and being trashed out from the Penang CMs office.

Nonetheless, the ban of Clarinase drug (for express flu relief) from the pharmacy's shelves. I am aware the danger of taking drugs and medications without consulting a physician, but I am no stupid!. Many out there aren't one either. Than why with this definite punitive decision?.

If the government is being too protective, than this type of comment cannot, ah?. Shame on you!.

My conclusion: Overly paranoid.

Adakah kita mempunyai sebuah kerajaan yang benar-benar menjuarakan demokrasi?.

Adakah kita benar-benar menyokong kebebasan media dan kebebasan bersuara?.

Adakah kita contoh kerajaan demokrasi yang paling ideal?.

Disebalik halangan kebebasan bersuara, adakah ahli-ahli politik yang diundi ini benar-benar menjalankan tugas mereka dengan sepenuh rasa tanggungjawab dan amanah? Kenapa takut bila tsunami budaya mem-blog ini melanda Malaysia?. Kenapa berselindung di sebalik Akta?

Adakah saya seorang yang tidak patriotik?.
- Oleh kerana sayangkan negara inilah saya menulis entri ini.

Tidakkah saya bersyukur?
- Kerana bersyukur harus saya terima keadaan ini seadanya?. Berdiam diri dan menerima prestasi kerajaan yang kurang memuaskan ini?. Logik akalkah itu?. Apa sebenarnya definasi syukur yang hakiki itu?.

Simple consumer behavior..

2008-05-27T22:54:00.004+08:00

Konsep mudah: Pengguna akan mengubah tabiat dan kelakuan kepada sesuatu yang dirasakannya sesuai dan terbaik bagi dirinya sekiranya ada pilihan.

Simple plan I would suggest to ease traffic congestion in KL: MORE PUBLIC TRANSPORT!! and make sure it is cheap!

It is not a rocket science by the way!

Less car, less petrol consumption, less subsidy.. Why are you guy making fool of yourself, mengeluh pasal subsidi minyak RM4 billlion? Most S.O.V (Single Occupancy Vehicles) cars entering KL are office workers. Let them have extra money to save/spend rather on petrol by using public transport.

Please DO NOT PUT PRESSURE on businesses as they would easily pass the burden to end-consumers/users hence resulting higher inflation.

Retailers Optimal Merchandise Mix Constraints

2008-05-22T13:49:00.008+08:00

From my primitive observation, some retail shops do have limitation factors that may restrict their growth. However, I should stress that these are form genuine cases (not from dumb/ar**h*l*/idiocratic human limitation/s!);

1. Dollar Merchandise Constraint
- It is a result from a small paid up capital by owner, or board of directors.

2. Space Constraints
- I noticed that if the rental is getting gradually high, some retailers just have to shrink down the size. Or, everybody is rushing and pushing to get the chunck of pie (red sea strategy). Resulting slow death for everyone (vendors, the retailer itself, the shopping complex/area).

3. Merchandise Turnover Constraints
- Usual mistake for everybody especially when they have been there for so long and at the same time trying so hard coping with consumer behavorial and pattern changes. This type of shop usually having the pattern to lose out retail identity. Slow but definite suicidal.

4. Market Constraint
- It is impossible and risky when making decision on variety, breadth and depth of merchandise mix. Bad science project I would say. Especially for big, big retailers when they delegate staffs to perform tasks.
* this is when branding, good marketing, and super good product really helps!
** Ringgit $en$e -> High profit and big retailers usually accept the fact that it is almost impossibble to get an optimum/the perfect merchandise mix. So, they adjust their own merchandise mix formula to statisfy the most profitable domestic market segment.

TDM Quitting UMNO

2008-05-21T00:51:00.009+08:00

I know I wrote in my previous entry that I hate politics, but..

I can't stop thinking;

a.) What happen to the people that once cried, shook and kissed TDMs hands. Rafidah was criticized when she hugged TDM. But what did she said today? Nazri Aziz said today?

Hypocracy? Maybe.

Ahli UMNO perlu taat kepada pucuk pimpinan? Terutamanya kepada pucuk pimpinan yang mempunyai kuasa memerintah dan tangan mampu menyuap nasi briyani ke mulut mereka-mereka yang mengampu manakala rakyat jelata makan nasi basi?

b.) Mukhriz stayed!

(Dikemas kini) KUALA LUMPUR: "Saya akan tetap setia sebagai ahli Umno dan akan menjadi suara yang lantang menegur kepincangan kepimpinan parti". -excerpts from The Star Online.

Bro, you have my support and my respect. You are so consistent in what you have done. And you have your track records to support you. And by the way, thats bold!

c.) Will Pak Lah do something to regain his popularity?

Will it benefit market driven businesses? Will it benefit Malaysians? Will it bring back the confidence needed for the next PRU?

Will it be another blunder made by him? (he did a few already.. too bad!)

d.) "-" for TDM (my opinion, pardon me). A big/huge/enormous advantage for some.

Nothing much to say except: POLITICS STINK!

Happy Vesak!

2008-05-21T00:44:00.003+08:00

Kenapa Aku Tak Suka Tgk Bola

2008-05-03T03:04:00.004+08:00

Nape kawe dok suke bola..

1. Nak drama, lebih baik tgk drama swasta kat TV1. Sama best, sama thrill.

Kaki tak kena takik, boleh terguling-guling sambil meraung (nak tunjuk sakit sangat!). Kalau untung sabut, dapat penalty kick, team lawan kena buang player. Huh! bapuk jer yang main tipu macam itu.

2. Sama boring dengan dengar lecturer yang syok sendiri time kuliah dulu.

Bola sepak naik - pass kat salah orang - bola sepak turun - pass terlajak - bola keluar - baling masuk - salah pass - bola naik - offside - keeper sepak - bola turun - sepak - tersasar dari sasaran......(ulang lagi 90 minit.)

3. Bayar mahal, main buruk.. baik sedekah duit tu dkt rumah kebajikan! Baik player tu jadi petani!

Gaji seminggu diorang lagi tinggi dari gaji setahun antara sesetengah rakyat Malaysia! Wawawawa...

4. Wakil bolasepak negara boleh main kuis-kuis rumput masa lagu kebangsaan dimainkan!

Tak patriotiknya! Cubalah contohi player ragbi yang menitik air mata bila dengar lagu kebangsaan. Body masing-masing kekar tuh! Owh, btw diorang tak dapat gaji juta-juta dari main game ragbi tu.

5. Finishing n saving dalam dunia bolasepak negara... huhuhuhu.. sedey, beb!

Samada sepakan penyudah yang asyik kena tepis jembalang belaan goalie tuh, atau keeper dengan begitu poyo menangkap turbulence bola yang amat dashyat itu.

6. Hahahahaha! Liga bola negeri sendiri pun tak tengok dkt tv, dok sanggup tersengguk-sengguk menahan mengantuk untuk tengok live telecast liga negara orang lain. Bangga betul kalau dapat jadi orang pertama yang boleh cerita dalam blog/pejabat/kedai mamak.

7. Pergi kedai mamak = pasang bola.
Jenguk blog sare = pasal bola.
Pergi rumah member bujang aku = depa tgk bola
Baca suratkhabar = bola lagi (huhuhu..pernah masuk frontpage sebab rasuah lagi tu!)

Seumpama tahap bosan yang terkumpul akibat tgk/baca banyak sangat pasal politik orang UMNO, akhirnya mendatangkan rasa mual.

8. Aku kelakar betul dengan orang yang sanggup belanja beratus-ratus ringgit kat sehelai baju yang akhirnya bakal diletakkan nama orang lain dibelakangnya. Rasa macam nak panggil;

"Abang Beckham, boleh saya pinjam lighter?"
wawawawawawa.....

Uish.. aku sambung nanti-nanti. Ada awek call aku lah malam-malam nih... Yeehaa!

The Devil In Us- Shopaholicism

2008-05-03T01:55:00.003+08:00

How many of us that really can control ourselves during shopping. As for me, there are times I can and can't (Oh, forgive me god as I have sinned!).

I might being over analytical about this, but I have been watching too much of National Geographic, ret Discovery Science and Discovery Channel lately. And lately quite a lot of DNAs and brainy stuffs that made me think about businesses, marketing, retailing and stuffs.

As in my previous post about psychographic, it merely happened to many of us. From my observation in Bukit Bintang retail area (another mall-ing effect like I wrote previously) last week;

1. A good window display plays quite a significant role in attracting window shoppers to enter premise.

2. By increasing visitors, they can increase chances of getting things sold better. By increasing traffic too will increase curiosity from passer-bys.

3. A good merchandising will increase the overall sale of a retail business.

4. A good display of which good to be highlighted will definitely increase the possibility of impulse buying/psychographic effect.

5. A good premise layout will definitely optimize the retail area. Definitely.

Qs;
1. Apa yang mencetuskan belian impuls? Ego? Rasa berkuasa? Coolness? Trendy? But I do believe that I can put the blame entirely on the psychological factors.

* The summarization above is in general focusing on middle-to lower income retailing in malls in urban areas.

I think next time I am gonna go for another trip to;
+ Secondary/small township area/s
+ Pasar malams

Rossa - Ayat-Ayat Cinta

2008-04-18T10:46:00.001+08:00

desir pasir di padang tandus
segersang pemikiran hati
terkisah ku di antara cinta yang rumit

bila keyakinanku datang
kasih bukan sekadar cinta
pengorbanan cinta yang agung ku pertaruhkan

maafkan bila ku tak sempurna
cinta ini tak mungkin ku cegah
ayat-ayat cinta bercerita
cintaku padamu

bila bahagia mulai menyentuh
seakan ku bisa hidup lebih lama
namun harus ku tinggalkan cinta
ketika ku bersujud

bila keyakinanku datang
kasih bukan sekedar cinta
pengorbanan cinta yang agung ku pertaruhkan

ketika ku bersujud

Me tensen kena tipu hidup-hidup!!

Kerah-jaan buat kempen jimat dan senang kira untuk seluruh Malay-sia.. aku sokong.. tapi...

Tapi aku nampak banyak peniaga ambil kesempatan;

Notis harga Strepsil: Chesty Cough Lozenges: RM3.68

Harga perlu dibayar: RM3.70

Pekedai dapat free dua sen!! Pekedai masih dapat riak dengan frasa "KAMI MENAWARKAN HARGA MURAH (baca "BERPATUTAN").

Ini adalah sesuatu yang memperbodohkan pengguna yang sudah sedia "kurang cerdik". Tambahan, sebuah pasaraya yang terkenal meng-round up jumlah setiap kali scan barcode barang. Bukan setelah ditekan sub-total. Ini lagilah tidak adil!!!

Now, mana penguatkuasaan oleh penguatkuasa yang telah dibayar gajinya oleh pembayar cukai?

BN @ BA @ Rojak..

2008-03-20T00:21:00.004+08:00

Aku tengah tak sabar tunggu untuk tengok...

1. Bawah kerah-jaan mana satu rakyat akan benefit the most.

2. BN jadi kelam kabut tak coz ada team lain yang boleh jadi benchmark prestasi diorang.

3. Kalaulah benar kerah-jaan Pak Lah nak jadi telus, ada tak kes skandal rasuah yang akan meletup atau at least timbul (aku tak teringat mana-mana kes rasuah yang sangat besar spt watergate kat malaysia nih. Nak kata tak ada... Impossible!).

4. BA boleh turunkan harga minyak? Pendidikan percuma sehingga ke universiti?

5. Apa orang UMNO nak kata dalam persidangan yang akan datang. Beranikah Hishamuddin cium keris lagi? Mungkinkah ada yang menyalahkan pengundi yang menyebabkan diorang kalah? Mungkinkah ada statement "blogger adalah monyet!"

6. Apa MCA nak buat untuk tawan balik hati masyarakat cina? Mampukah UMNO buat sebegitu?

7. Apa next step Mahathir dan Anwar?

8. Khairy lagi?

9. The implication of PRU 12 result towards big corporates, SMEs, PBTs, tender awards, Bursa Malaysia.... and the list goes on... and on...

10. Korang rasa PBTs panas bontot dengan kerah-jaan negeri yang baru, tak? Aku benci mereka sebab selalu buat kerja-kerja bodoh!
cth:
-> kes padang permainan layang-layang di tepi jalan sebelah MRR2 Kepong. Bahayanya kalau tiba-tiba layang-layang tu jatuh dan talinya merentas highway. Boleh terbelah tekak mat rempit dek benang layang-layang tu. Buatlah 100 meter lagi ke dalam!
-> untuk kawasan penduduk sebesar 50 hektar dan berkepadatan 1.7 orang sekaki persegi, logikkah padang permainan yang bersaizkan 7000 kaki persegi?
-> Majlis Pembandaran Ampang tak nak bertanggungjawab atas kes Highland Towers?
-> cuba nak memodenkan tempat parking kereta, tapi jarak antara mesin adalah 100-150 meter setiap antaranya?

11. Apa kesan atas infrastuktur/ekonomi kepada negara/negeri/tempatan. kadar bil naik? turun?

12. Apa yang kerah-jaan nak umumkan dalam budget nanti? Cukai? pemberian bajet untuk kontrak? -> macam ku pernah dengar dialog itu berulang-ulang kali.

13. persidangan Dewan Undang Negeri.. kerajaan dominan @ campuran, pasti seronok. Tapi persoalannya bolehkah sehingga jangan rakyat jadi mangsa kat tengah.

14. Siapa lagi yang boleh kawin baru, renovate rumah besar, beli kereta merc, ambil alih kawasan rumah setinggan untuk keperluan sendiri, travel sana sini secara mewah dengan menyedut duit rakyat?

Pricing: How much are we actually paying?

2008-03-14T00:10:00.004+08:00

Kita selalu dengar dalam mana-mana dokumentari pasal dengan adanya teknologi baru;

Mitos:

1. pengguna bakal menikmati harga yang lebih rendah akibat pengurangan kos pengeluaran.

2. pengguna bakal menikmati kehidupan yang lebih sempurna dengan kualiti yang bakal terhasil.

Dua statement atas yang paling selalu aku dengar kalau aku tengok discovery channel, baca magazine engineering, perubatan, military..

Fakta:

1. reporter tu tulis iklan bagi pihak kompeni yang cipta menda baru tu. (kompeni = jual produk = untung)

2. Teknologi baru = harga mahal = kos permulaan tinggi = harga tinggi . Adakah harga akan susut selepas kompeni itu dapat kembali modal pengeluaran? Fikirkan Telekom Malaysia, TNB, PLUS, Indah Water... Pernah tarif turun?

3. Kompeni guna alasan teknologi untuk harga yang mahal. Jika tidak, adakah kos perubatan mengalami kadar paling tinggi di dunia? Fikirkan angka +/- 200% sejak beberapa tahun lepas.
** Cik doktor, ingatkah Socrates Oath yang menyuruh anda menolong orang yang dalam kesusahan (kesakitan)tanpa mengharapkan sebarang balasan?

4. Apakah kita akan menikmati kadar kehidupan yang lebih tinggi bila wang poket kita terus menerus ditoreh? fikir-fikirkan kadar cukai yang nyata dan yang tersembunyi (...banyak!!!), harga sebenar barangan/servis yang kita bayar hari-hari...

5. what is our money value today will not be the same as tomorrow. definitely!. Orang dulu dengan gaji $300 boleh save up beli tanah, orang sekarang gaji $30 000 pun boleh jadi muflis. i would blame the current economic system. Considering that fact, assuming every couples today will somehow have progenies, just imagine what kind of life will our future generation live in tomorrow.

6. Todays economics work and linked in many ways. Every single seconds we live, the air that we breath, what we do somehow is related to economics. What happens when the governments start to make more and more policies(even the littles change/simplest new rules) and further made it complicated?.

Orang dulu-dulu kalau nak jimat duit pasar, boleh bela ayam, cari pucuk paku, petik daun ubi, menjala ikan puyu dalam parit. Sekarang, boleh kita buat semua itu kalau kita tinggal di rumah teres dekat bandar baru bangi atau di "rumah burung" kerinchi? kalau sekarang pun dah mula susah nak buat, apatah lagi anak cucu kita satu hari nanti.

Its an imbalanced equilibrium that will affect not only to our lives, but to our future generations too. enam menda diatas yang setakat aku boleh fikir sekarang.. ada yang nak tambah?

We are living on a time bomb.

Above is the link to Universal Music Youtube Vids. Its brilliant marketing effort.

But, I would describe Youtube as much more brilliant!

New made millionaires came from IT/tech industry. Please be amazed, MySpace is valued $100mill (August 2006) within 31 months launched! Google (aged 10 this year) having a $10 billion in revenue and worth $125 billion. And thats 2 years back data.

If in the past century (till the last 20 years), millionaires are made through blood, sweat and tears. Now, using technology and current market trend you can be a millionaire whilst sitting back on your very own chair (think hard, of course!).

I WANNA BE ONE!!

Politics in Season..

2008-02-26T22:28:00.002+08:00

.. due to the current election season..

I am declaring myself publicly that I HATE POLITICS!!!

National politics is a total bullshit. And those who wanted so much to be a candidate as shitters.

* ?:- Why in the world if you want to serve the community around you, you need to be contested? Why with the popularity?
??:- Do we need to be popular in the community to help a helpless blindman to cross the road?
???:- Why do we need politicians to rule the country? No wonder some made politics as a career. Funny, politicians also as a policy maker. FUCK!

** Facto: Its a total BULLSHIT!!

To those SBs Bukit Aman yang baca entri ni, sorry for my language. Its an expression, really! Btw, lebih baik korang tolong collegue korang jaga trafik kat luar sana tu. Jem! (result from stupid politians who was elected to be the policy maker, and those corrupted ones too).

New Techie Isnt Always The Best..

2008-02-18T00:23:00.003+08:00

**note to the policy makers

U.S Congress isnt full of geniuses. There are some idiocies inside.

Lately they banned tradisional incandescent lightbulbs (remember Thomas Alve Edison?) to the supposedly more "efficient" compact flourecent lightbulbs (CFLs). By 2014, the tradisional lightbulbs will be illegal.

* ?= If these bulbs are so great, why need to set a law to "promote" it?

** Fact= One lightbulb contains roughly 5 miligrammes of mercury. If one drops and breaks, it will contaminate six times of the states "safe" level. Think about the challenges ahead of disposing those lightbulbs when it burns out.

..the consequences having paranoids to be the law makers..

Word of the day: PSYCHOGRAPHICS

2008-01-18T22:16:00.000+08:00

I stumbled across this interesting article;

Japanese Teenagers
"Japan is seeing a rising number of high school dropouts who believe that school life restricts their personal lifestyle. Such teenagers want to dye their hair fire-engine red, wear the latest street fashion which includes tutus over pants, and play a band. However, the strict dicipline in schools is not compatible with what they want at this stage of their life cycle, and so they quit school."

I am not going to talk bout sociology. Academicians and politicians talk bout it more seriously. I have other serious businesses to be handled.

However, a hard cold fact: People judge us by our lifestyle. Thats why some are hypocrits. They live with the motto "Biar papa asal bergaya".

There this one term always used when talking about lifestyle. PSYCHOGRAPHICS. I believe this is why advertising plays such an enormous role in marketing.

Understanding buying process..

2008-01-18T21:56:00.000+08:00

Marketing and marketeers must go beyond average level of thinking to understand what and how consumers make their buying decisions. Regardsless our individual shopping habits there must be more than one persons role involved;

1. initiator
2. influencer
3. decider
4. buyer
5. user

true?..

Now, going further into the topic. What makes a retail business grow and some don't? basically every retailers using the same concept.

I believe, regardless how good you business is now, if your business isnt going parallel to the trend, you are doomed. Dulu masa ketiadaan hypermarket dan shopping kompleks, perniagaan rumah-rumah kedai laku. Sekarang, cuba lihat parking-parking hypermarket dan malls. Sesak!

Ideas Will Remain Useless Unless Translated Into Action!

2008-01-15T22:42:00.000+08:00

Once i went to a gathering of "budak-budak pandai" group alumni. It was fun and happening till it came to the part where the organizer caught attention from everybody. Houston, we have a mission!

Sebahagian dari alumni ada cita-cita yang suci dan murni. Memajukan dan mempersembahkan pada peringkat dunia siapa kumpulan kami. jeng... jeng... jeng...

2 situations that involves all;
1. we need more players.
2. we need extra boo$t of $$$. FUNDINGS!!

So, theres a Q&A session. everybody gave their feedbacks and opinion. But.. just how many of them that actually serious bout their ideas?

Currently, we already managed to have some progress from the two situations mentioned earlier, timbul lima..;
1. a few alumnis that are willing to rejoin together with juniors out of several digits of members.
2. Some menyibuk for coaching (just how many coaches u need for a footbal team?).
3. nobody volunteered to do contribution (effort, if not $$$) to raise fundings EXCEPT ME!
4. a few sceptics and pessimists.
5. a few bench warmers who gossips and gave passive critique.

Mindaku tercetus pemikiran analitikal daripada peristiwa kumpulan kecil ni. Whats happening out there? Can you just imagine our politicians/JKKKKKKKK Kampung/ Bumiputera companies/ kakitangan kerah-jaan? Very a Hadhari community, eh?

How logic is my statement?

Someday when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow
Just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

O but you're lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me to love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word, your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Lovely never never change
Keep that breathless change
Won't you please arrange it
Cause I, I love you
Just the way you look tonight

Just the way you look tonight...

a thinking mind:- episod polis trafik & trafiknya

2007-12-26T00:20:00.000+08:00

aku pelik...

dalam zaman kecanggihan IT sekarang pun, kita masih perlukan polis trafik utk kawal jalan waktu jem..

most probably;
1. blame it on the malaysians habit. ->potong queue, langgar traffic light..
2. blame it on the inefficient public transport system. ->never ending issue..
3. blame it on the inefficient and haywire roads. ->itu kereta sudah bayak, jalan suda tadak muat... kita buat lah. tapi tol pun kena adalah untuk tutup kos.
4. blame it on the increase of car sales. ->taraf ekonomi rakyat malaysia bertambah baguss...
5. blame it on the incompetency level of todays grads employed. ->what choice do companies have for employing? ambik illegal worker, loh.. tapi takut kena serbu lah pulak.
6. blame it on the Malaysian education system. ->hari ni kita belajar cara-cara yan betul untuk cium keriss....
7. blame it on the media that is full on entertainment. (contohilah RTM1, saluran emas, saluran infotaiment anda!)

di mana pandainya Malaysia?..

At the time of pix, it can be considered as one of the most romantic scenery i ever saw. just imagine you could see silver linings in the rain clouds passing the moon. MARVELLOUS! i wanted to get a pix, but the blur-ish was AZAB. still struggling with the apeture and shutter, though.

astrophotography is hard and challenging. just imagine even an unimagine little-st vibration could result a haywire effect. Putting into consideration about the moons and earths rotation speed... bla... bla...

...but the result: PRICELESS!!

percaya tak, i am already prepared if a natural disaster happens. and i can survive for a month. instant noodles je ada 8 jenis. maggie, indomie, mee sedap, mamee, mee ruski, and several japanese ones. muaahahaha!

pilihan judul novel-novel aku...

2007-12-08T01:47:00.000+08:00

aku baru balik dari mph, mid valley. aku dok tengok awek-awek budak sekolah pilih novel-novel baru kat rak. rasa-rasanya kan, diorg tak bosan ke dok baca tema & jalan cerita yang berulang-ulang. rasanya kalaulah ada kertas soalan berdasarkan novel-novel gini, konfem skor gile.

satu yang aku perasan, semua novel-novel yang dijual, di-shrink-wrap-kan. tektik keji. hahaha... so, i wonder tajuk yang camne kena buat supaya bule jual..;

1. lautan rindu.

2. tsunami kasih sayang.
whoa, yang ini power.... korang bule pakai utk ngurat pompuan. konpem cair.. ihiks!

3. gelojak rindu.
heks.. no. 3 ,4 & 5 elakkan guna ayat ni utk ngurat. unless...

4. p/s: jiwaku tandus.

5. kegersangan abadi.

ntah camne aku bule teringat kat cik elyana.. maybe selepas lagu 'main tarik tali.... tarik tali...' muahahaha!!.. she can make use of some of this;

1. cintaku tertinggal di karaoke.

2. otakmu tertinggal di rumah.

3. diriku seperti touch n go hahahaha...

4. mak panggil balik.

CUTI... TAIPING!

2007-11-30T00:33:00.000+08:00

I had a great holiday last June. I went to Taiping (my fav town.. captivating!). Sajer apply cuti lama2 sikit utk luangkan masa bersama-sama diri sendiri. sesetengah orang dok sibuk nak bercuti kat luar malaysia. paris, new york, bali, amsterdam, helsinki.. bagi aku, rugi. dah ler rugi RM sebab exchange rate, dah tuh kalu dah g overseas ni tau-tau lah ramai yang nak mintak souvenirs. kopakkkkk... baik dok tawaf Malaysia. Dengan multi ethnics n racial kat mesia ni, bak kata tourism malaysia; Malaysia, truly asia.. (I have heard Sabah alone have 32 ethics.. pergh..)

Taiping:

ada orang yang pelik aku bule hangout sorang-sorang (bos siap-siap pesan suruh jgn matikan phone.. chaisss.. tapi gua bijak... hehehe!). heks... bila dah ada kamera slr (time tu baru beli..) i had a great time. mesti ramai yang tak tau, pagi-pagi kat lake garden taiping, mcm2 bule tgk. contohnya tengok awek, tengok amoi, tengok awek, tengok amoi, dan tak kurang tengok artis buat shoot (time ni terasa rugi belum ada zoom lens. sori guys, x de gambar. hard disk crash hari tu! huhuhu...). 4 days and 3 nites, gua abes RM400++ jer.

"I know of no more lovely sight in this country than the taiping gardens... one receives in that glorious half hour an experience of light in foliage that is quite unbtainable in England" George Pleet, 1933.

Taiping, (or tepeng in local dialect) comes from the mandarin word "tei" & "peng". in which means everlasting peace. but, dari cakap-cakap sorang pakcik tua yang aku jumpe, taiping pernah jadi medan perang paling dashyat waktu zaman jepun. disebabkan time tuh kekurangan kesdaran dokumentasi, peristiwa tuh tenggelam ditelan zaman. sekarang, ada usaha sorg cikgu yang minat citer2 perang tgh mengorek citer tuh daripada warga emas taiping. (terar x? aku patut dapat sejarah A1 waktu SPM dulu.) ;))

If anyone would go there, i would personally suggest to go;

1. St Louis church.

2. all saints church

3. railway station

4. the burmese pool (ini sungai tau... aku pun tertipu dulu. But, syok wooo.. ayer sujukkk..)

5. kuala sepetang charcoal factory.

6. peace hotel

7. bismillah restaurant @ jalan taming sari.

8. a hair cut stop @ any old barber shop. (ngeri tgk indian tuh asah pisau pakai leather strip.)

9. no 31, jalan stesen

10. hiking kat bukit larut.

11. commonwealth war cemetery

12.lake garden.. (in the morning... its a must!)

13. kling mosque

14. masjid kota lama

15. port weld fishing village.

16. on foot tour in tepeng.. (you will never know what you might find!.)

p/s: sila bayar untuk nasihat ini menggunakan cash sahaja. resit akan dikeluarkan atas permintaan.. ihiks!

"the town itself is one of the most picturesque in Malaya.." Cuthbert Woodville Harrison, 1911.

UPCOMING NEXT ON; CUTI.... SABAH

My Day.. (or more so MayDay)

2007-11-21T01:18:00.000+08:00

(Ignore my imbalanced emotions!!... I was made to update my blog. Huhuhu..)

I used to be proud being single. Heck!. Betull lah! I has been my pride whenever or whoever asked 'bout my girl. I could say.. "Lelaki macho milenium x de girlfriend. Dia terus ada calon isteri." then everybody laughed. For the time being, everybody was rather statisfied with the answer. Gotcha.

I even got a chance to gloat (sheeeeepishly) when some even say "You are such a gentleman! Would you be interested if i introduce an ustazah to you?" (No offence, but no thanks).

A friend of mine even helped me to draw a time chart for future retirement plan. i looked at him queerly... (aiseh, poyo nyer kawan aku ni). FYI, the chart refers to the age of a child as we grow older. I stopped him as he went into the cucu part.

Now, i am pretty cool with it. it doesnt even bother me to frantic searching for answers to satisfy their ... (i couldnt find the word: rasa ingin tahu). Thank god i have a good social background!.

Single and available, thats me.

p/s: I have a damned ego.. (but i know when to use it!)

kisah ayam ternak dan buaya..

2007-10-08T22:32:00.000+08:00

Dalam sebuah ladang ayam pedaging, ada seekor ayam betina yang istimewa.

Si ayam dikurniakan dengan keputihan bulunya yangseperti salju. Matanya seumpama ada mutiara hitam didalamnya. Si ayam turut mempunyai paruh yang tajam dan keras. Si ayam betina selalu menjadi perhatian ayam-ayam kampung jantan di kampung Al-Selayangi.

Satu hari, si ayam betina terlepas kandang...

Si ayam betina mengambil peluang keluar mencari kebebasan...

Si ayam betina berjalan sehingga terjumpa olehnya sebatang sungai. Ada buaya tembaga didalamnya. Si buaya lapar!

Oleh kerana si ayam di tebing darat dan buaya di air, si buaya mula mengorak langkah supaya si ayam menyerahkan dirinya.

...

p/s: wajarkah si kura-kura menyelamatkan si ayam betina?

Malaysiaku Gemilang.. sigh!

2007-09-28T00:49:00.000+08:00

Aku pelik kenapa Tok YB kadang kala menjadi tidak secerdik seperti yang sepatutnya. Dalam kes allahyarham Nurin, kedua ibu bapanya mungkin kena dakwaan mahkamah. Wajarkah? Kenapa tidak lebih sibuk cari si penjenayah?

Dalam banyak kes aku tengok orang kerah-jaan selalu jadikan benda lain sebagai scapegoat. Tak pernah nak mengaku kelemahan sendiri. Inilah akibat bila ambil tukang politik sebagai pembuat dasar dan polisi.

Apa kata Tok YB dalam kes ini pula? Lagi satu kes mahkamah?

p/s: Lama betul menyiasat. Belum masuk pendakwaan lagi. Malaysiaku Gemilang!

Kawan..(2)

2007-09-28T00:37:00.000+08:00

semalam aku berjalan-jalan. aku jumpa kawan lama.

"apa khabar sedara? lama tak jumpa."

" yup. hari kita ketemu ditakdirkan tuhan."

masyallah.

kisah orang jahat main duit..

2007-09-24T22:52:00.000+08:00

Aku kagum..

Aku berbual dengan sepupu aku waktu berbuka tadi. Pasal money laundering. Pasal penjenayah kecil (belut-belut) membersihkan wang kotor hasil usaha tentera ikan-ikan bilis mereka.

Agaknya macamana pula dengan "modus operandi" jerung-jerung besar?

Aku teringat cerita "matchstickmen". Pasal gerak kerja nakal Amerika berdagang senjata api ikut jalan belakang.

...mmm...

kau yang tersenyum (2)...

2007-09-24T01:00:00.000+08:00

Kau yang tersenyum..

Apa yang kau fikir?
Apa yang kau ingat?
Apa yang kau rasa?

Kau yang tersenyum..

school of common sense

2007-09-22T03:49:00.000+08:00

Damn..

How I hate seeing people do stupid things in front of me. Worst still it may be consequences toward others.

i.e:
- Fathers smoking in their cars while ferrying their kids inside. Come on, health hazard to the kids. Their biological organs are still undeveloped and unmatured. Does it ring a bell?
- Stupid parents that thinks child are already born as geniuses. Scolding the children like they deserve hell. Those children are still undergoing learning process of life. And in most time they are learning by example.
- Stupid drivers who only think of themselves on the road. Worst are those with religious stickers. Arent you relegion also teaches courtesy and be good?
- Stupid girls who wears tudungs but insulting the religion instead.

Those are a few..

...

girls thingy..

2007-09-22T02:59:00.000+08:00

aku mula pesimis untuk mengadakan hubungan serius dengan wanita bukan kerana aku lebih berminat perhubungan sejenis tapi kebanyakan yang wujud menyebabkan aku berfikiran begitu abang jamal memang ada bercerita pasal keistimewaan gadis melayu aku tidak nafikan tidak terniat aku memperkecilkan keseluruhan populasi wanita seMalaysia tapi seringkali aku rasa jengkel kenapa? namun aku cukup mengagumi penceritaan dalam lirik lagu abg tony bennet bila dia menggambarkan dengan puitis tentang kecantikan wanita dalam lagu the way you look tonight ya aku turut suka lagu itu dan kadang-kadang kalian boleh mendengar aku menyanyi-nyanyi kecil lagu setiap ketika tapi jelas lirik lagu itu hanya puisi khayalan penggubahnya tapi aku sendiri tak pernah terjumpa wanita sedemikian jangan segan silu menuduh aku bias naif atau terlalu memilih tapi fikirkan sanggupkah anda menghabiskan dengan orang yang sebegini selamanya hayat? aku tak sanggup apatah lagi beliau bakal berkongsi zuriat keturunan aku seharusnya aku berhak memberikan progeni aku yang terbaik termasuk memilih calon ibu yang paling sesuai untuk mereka

Next Model, Ahoy!

2007-09-22T02:46:00.001+08:00

This girl dreams to be a model.

I did a photoshoot of her.

I wish her best of luck in pursuing her career.

My advise;
- Be carefull of the big sharks out there. They are like candies, sweet, irresistable but can do so much harm in future.

Ramadhan 2007 (2)

2007-09-21T20:48:00.000+08:00

Aku ditipu peniaga di bulan puasa.

Aku tidak marah. Tapi timbul rasa kesal. Kenapa perlu main tipu masa bulan rahmat ini? Tidakkah kalian sedar dalam bulan penuh rahmat ini, setiap kebaikan dikurnaikan pahala yang berganda.

Aku selalu tidak berkira untuk menjamu orang makan. Aku jamu mereka dengan duit penat lelahku yang dijamin halal. Aku pernah mendengar kisah sahabat-sahabat nabi yang memberi orang yang berpuasa makanan untuk berbuka. Aku jadikan contoh dan tauladan.

sigh...

p/s: teringat feedback logik aku kepada rakan-rakan yang sering mengalami permasalahan dengan umat manusia lain; 26juta rakyat Malaysia, 26 juta perangai yang ada.

Ramadhan 2007 (1)

2007-09-21T20:36:00.000+08:00

Ramadhan datang lagi..

Hari ni masuk hari kesembilan berpuasa. Baru hari ini aku pergi ke pasar ramadhan (param). Itupun setelah teman rapatku menarik aku ke sana.

"Makan, tau." pesannya.
Dia selalu risaukan keadaanku yang sentiasa skipping meals.

Aku lihat, orang ramai membeli seperti tiada lagi masa untuk makan yang lain. Beli ikut nafsu. Makan untuk nafsu.

Padanlah peniaga lahap mengambil kesempatan atas kedunguan mereka.

Kawan..

2007-09-21T20:29:00.000+08:00

Aku pernah mempunyai seorang kawan. Seorang kawan yang tak pernah diketahui namanya.

Tapi satu hari, dirinya masuk berita. Kemalangan maut. Kerata yang dinaiki bersama-sama rakan-rakannya accident di lebuh raya ketika dalam perjalanan meraikan konvokesyen di UTM. Sedih dan terkejut teman lelakinya yang sedang bercakap dengannya di telefon bimbit sewaktu kejadian.

Baruku tahu namanya: Amelia.

Maafkan aku..

puisi merdeka

2007-09-21T19:27:00.000+08:00

ku teriak menjerit kata untuk henti,
tapi dermaga itu terus gerak pergi,

Ah!
biar sial dan celaka mereka itu,
biar pesta sampai jatuh,
biar gelak sampai gaduh,

Aku lari dari realiti,
tidak tertahan diri menanggung sepi,

...

si kura-kura.. dan arnab putih

2007-09-20T22:45:00.000+08:00

Dulu di tepi hutan, tinggal seekor kura-kura jantan hitam yang sangat baik hati dan rajin. Oleh kerana kerajinannya, dia mampu tinggal damai bersama ibu bapanya. Oleh kerana baik hatinya, dia amat disenangi seantero kampungnya.

Satu hari, ketika sang kura-kura duduk melepaskan penat lelah bekerja, lalu seekor arnab betina putih. Sang kura-kura tergamam melihatkan kejadian tuhan yang sangat sempurna lalu dihadapannya.

Namun, sang arnab tidak memperdulikan sang kura-kura.
"Kura-kura hitam. Sudahlah cengkerangnya merekah-rekah. Masakan dia layak untukku!"

Sang kura-kura walaupun merasa terhina, namun dia tetap baik hati.

Moral: ...

All Stressed Out

2007-09-20T22:36:00.000+08:00

I Want A Holiday!!!
I Need A Break!!!

p/s: I already marked on my working calender for a photoshoot session at Gunung Batu Putih, Tapah. Ada yang nak jadi model? i badly need an orang utan image. (ihiks!)

Looking forward to it... still a long time to wait. (sigh!)

When Youre Gone by Avril Lavigne

2007-09-07T01:52:00.000+08:00

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry

And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now

[...]

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now

[...]

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeah
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah

[...]

Bad mood = Bad day

2007-08-22T18:33:00.000+08:00

Bad Day

Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee you go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need no carryin' on

Because you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Will you need a blue sky holiday?
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

(Oooh.. a holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

(yeah...)

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

kau yang tersenyum

2007-08-22T18:10:00.000+08:00

aku suka kau senyum,
aku gembira melihat kau tersenyum,
kau kelihatan cantik bila senyum.

aku suka kau senyum,
aku terhibur melihat kau tersenyum,
seharian aku ceria bila melihat senyum kau.

aku suka kau senyum,
aku terubat melihat kau tersenyum,
senyum kau beri aku nafas kehidupan.

senyumlah...

Once upon a time?..

2007-08-09T01:27:00.001+08:00

Ahaks..

This pic reminds me of my old school days.

I remembered the time my Bahasa teacher asked our class to write a short story entitling "Saya Sepasang Kasut". Then everybody started writing with the same lame introduction: "Saya dilahirkan di sebuah kilang.... bla... bla..."

Hahahaha..

living heritage..

2007-08-09T01:06:00.000+08:00

This is my grandmother..

This is my living heritage... Nobody else.
