kerna malas

kerna malas ingin bersangka
dan bertanya
dari mana angin yang meniup lalang..
sehingga elok tarinya

kerna malas ingin bersangka
dan bertanya
penuhkah purnam malam
apa pasangkah air di tepian

dan kerna itu
mataku tutup
biarkan semua pergi
dan kerna
malas bersangka
malas bertanya

menjaga hati

biarkan aku menjaga perasaan ini
menjaga segenap cinta yang telah kau beri
engkau pergi aku takkan pergi
kau menjauh aku takkan jauh
sebenarnya diriku masih mengharapkanmu
ooh oooh

masih adakah cahaya rindumu
yang dulu selalu cerminkan hatimu
aku takkan bisa menghapus dirimu
meskipun kulihat kau kini diseberang sana

Liana Tree

A liana is any of various long-stemmed, woody vines that are rooted in the soil at ground level and use trees, as well as other means of vertical support, to climb up to the canopy in order to get access to well-lit areas of the forest.^[1] Lianas are especially characteristic of tropical moist deciduous forests and rainforests. These climbers often form bridges between the forest canopy, connect the entire forest and provide arboreal animals with paths across the forest. These bridges also protect weaker trees from strong winds. They also compete with forest trees for sunlight.^[2] There are also temperate lianas, however, for example the members of the genera Clematis or Vitis (wild grape). Well-known lianas include Monkey Ladder (Entada gigas), Water Vine (Cissus hypoglauca) and Pothos (Epipremnum aureum).^{[citation needed]}

Note that "liana" is not a taxonomic grouping, but rather a description of the way the plant grows, and lianas may be found in many different plant families. One way of distinguishing lianas from trees and shrubs is based on the stiffness (specifically, the Young's modulus) of various parts of the stem. Trees and shrubs have young twigs and smaller branches which are quite flexible and older growth (trunks and large branches) which are stiffer, whereas a liana often has stiff young growths and older growth, at the base of the stem, which is more flexible.^[3]

ps- gonna write something about the tree...

leave the dovey lovey feeling away

Steve Job - Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.

Steve Job has successfully design a touch screen revolution into the industry with cutting edge technology and artistic design.

I believe he sees potential and create market through his creative marketing.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Creative marketing

Form my observation, aggresive marketiers will try to conquer market share by killing competition or lobbying to add more barriers for new entrants thus make the industry less attractive to enter.

However, creative marketiers sees above approach is not practical because limited resources says manpower, financial, physical (building and technology) and time. Therefore creative marketies always sees potential from competitors.

Lets say an airline company from FarEast will need partnership from an airline company from North Africa to support network operation in both regions by using Interline Agreement (codeshare or SPA agreement).

Taking the same example, I see there is potential for improvement in SME industry where intelligent shared partnership can be formed to utilise and maximise resource.

In my own experience, I did CBA (cost benefit analysis) and SWOT Analysis by listing all my challenges, and oppurtunity.

I realised that limited capital to purchase a high end dry cleaning machine and dry cleaning operation knowledge are two main challenges for me to operate a dry cleaning centre.

And my oppurtunity is intelligent partnership with other dry cleaning centre and the potential chosen location.

MY OPPURTUNITY.

I tried to sell this idea to a friend, its not actually my idea but what I have learned from my work.

I took him to 2 different dry cleaning centres that have the dry cleaning machine (note: 1 machine cost around MYR 45k).

Dry Cleaning Centre A -

Is a professional centre in a huge residence area. The dry cleaning centre customer is 80% walk in customers and 20% from smaller laundry centre who sent dry cleaning items. The revenue is generated from dry cleaning (45%), wash and dry (15%^) and ironing (40%).

The owner is in the expanding stage where he wants to operate more feeder centre to collect and send dry cleaning items to his main branch. The objective is to build a network but has limited capital and manpower to operate new branch.

He tried to offer a "win-win" situation and his offer was -

Operate as his feeder point, earn commission from dry cleaning items and he support with knowledge.

Honestly, I see this offer is one way benefit agreement where, he can utilise his dry cleaning machine and not my normal washing machine. And so, I decided not to continue but to establish rapport to fit as plan B.

Dry Cleaning Centre B -

Is located near KL triangle next to condominium project. His customer is 65% B2B (hotels and etc for towels, blankets, pillow case and etc) and 35% walk in. However he stops his B2B segment because of limited manpower and only focus on walk in which is 100% wash and dry (low margin). He has not been utilising his dry cleaning machine and resulted slow return from the capital.

His main challenge is MANPOWER and slow return from his dry cleaning machine investment.

I tried to offer him a "win-win" situation, and my offer was-

He can still maintain his major revenue by maintaining B2B business by subcon to my centre and I will support dry cleaning items (as my targetted shop area is high end residence area) to his centre for him to get return from his investment.

In glance, his centre will make more money as dry cleaning margin is higher than B2B cleaning items however, I will save up to MYR 60k from investing for new dry cleaning machine and avoid operation risk.

Like my creative marketing concept? Hahahaha, well it was sold to my friend...

I hope he will translate my idea into real dry cleaning operation as I am not able to do so....

last song

Disharmony of a symphony

Notes arrangements are in front of each player,
To rhyme drum beat with song’s melody
That suppose to last whole year
But end in tragedy

I send sympathy to the disharmony
I feel empathy to the symphony
I tried but failed to see
Why there is always be you and me
I flew to Malaysia from Dubai
Let me go, and say good bye

Devoted

At the Masjid Nabawiyah, Madinah (me the photographer - not in the picture)

Luqman in front of Kaabah

We look alike, arent we?

Im flying home today with Malaysian Hospitality, a last minute plan was changed from Economy Class Gulf Air to Business Class Malaysia Airlines. Thank you Ayah!

Alhamdulillah, I was given chance to fulfilled wish I made 3 year ago in front of Kaabah that is to perform Umrah and visit Madina. I think it is a proper way to end my years in Middle East. Again, Alhamdulillah.

ps/- Segala pujian bagi-Nya

From what I see =)

Niche

It is one of marketiers frontier to explore and dominant niche market, in assumption niche market gives maximum return or profit to organization. Niche market always refers to premium products for high income group, however the trend has slowly changed.

In my observation, taking aviation industry as example it is a vital strategy to carefully have the right pricing and promotion as passenger profile is almost the same as in the previous year. This somehow give airlines a relieve to plan to capture niche market.

Leisure passenger was the niche segment from Middle East to Far East particularly to Malaysia and Thailand in the last five years and that had benefited the visited country and their national airlines. Leisure passengers are willing to pay higher fares, and increase auxiliary revenue from hotel bookings and packages.

However, the trend has slowly changed where leisure passenger traffic has turned from long haul trip to Far East to shorter trip within the GCC countries. This has significantly contributed to passenger’s growth within GCC countries with higher demand from travelers and frequencies from airlines.

In response to the new traveling trend, Far East Airlines have changed their strategy and developed new market niche to support their route to Middle East.

a. All year High volume, low margin niche – Labour traffic from Middle East countries are usually to Manila (Philippines) and Jakarta (Indonesia). The market remains attractive although it offers low yield and additional cost (to offer additional free baggage allowance and waving penalties) to attract passengers.

b. Periodic High volume, high margin niche – Canton Fair is a craze for Middle Eastern traders and business man. The Canton Fairs is in April and October every year, where the exhibition attracts companies to exhibit and establish business connection. Other example is the recent World Cup in South Africa.

c. Periodic High volume, low margin niche – VFR (visiting friend and relative) usually influenced by festive, celebration or school holidays. The demand is usually from expatriate who want to return to home country or visiting their relatives in other country. Example - Australia is one of the famous VFR destination from Lebanon.

d. Reverse Point of sales contributions – Airlines usually manage operation network from different point of sales sales contribution, having say some of Asia’s airlines have encouraged passengers from their country to Middle East country. For example, CZ had many groups inbound to UAE to support inbalance traffic during the Canton Fair in April.

There might be new passengers profile or market trend in Middle East after I left the industry however, the core objective for many Far East airlines is survival to compete with Middle Eastern Airlines who have unlimited resources.

in case i go again

"In Case I Go Again" Lyrics:

I like that when I come back home
I can always find you here
You know no matter where I go
That I'll always come back home

And we wonder who we are
We can't be sure
When all we do is wonder
Cause the future's insecure
Just when I thought I discovered who you were
You change again

And I don't want to run your life
But some things I expect
It makes me wonder why I try
Just to walk away in shame
In case I cannot stay
In case I go again

Everything still looks the same
Yet somehow I sense a change
But even after all these days
It's nice to hear you laugh the same

And so we wonder who we are
We can't be sure
When all we do is wonder
Cause the future's insecure
Just when I thought I discovered who we were
We change again

And I don't want to run your life
But some things I expect
If it makes you wonder
Why you try
Just to look away in shame
In case I cannot stay
In case I go again

When all we do is wonder
And nobody can be sure
When the world is going crazy
And nobody finds the cure
Just when I thought I discovered
What we were and who I was
Just when I thought I uncovered
Just when I thought I uncovered
Just when I thought I discovered who we were
We change again
