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

MH to passengers is just a flight code

We laughed, and share passion and stress together
Haha...

all words are just words, no apology needed..
Cos' everything is back to normal after six

Believe me, this is not goodbye, but a start to a new beginning..
To beautiful people, I hope we meet again in the next chapter…
To beautiful time, I hope it will be remembered...

I will be missing everything here,
Beautiful people, "scenes" and time together

Sharing

A pencil maker told the pencil 5 important lessons:

1.) Everything you do will always leave a mark

2.) You can always correct the mistakes you make

3.) What is important is what is inside of you

4.) In life, you will undergo painful sharpenings which will make you a better person

5.) To be the best pencil. you must allow yourself to be held and guided by the hand that holds you

Go ahead, there is no red sign

Its amazing to know how GPRS GPS helps drivers on road when the device actually TELLS human being where to go, which road to take and where the road heads to..

I asked the salesperson to demo and was amused by verbal instruction directing driver to turn right, make u-turn and calculating distance and estimated arrival time with the current speed....

Out of curiosity, I asked "What happen if there is a traffic light and its red, will the device ask me to stop?"

The salesperson smiled and trying to look for the right words and answered

"Sir, the device will not tell you to stop...But will you go when you see red?"

I laughed...something to ponder?

ps/- maybe that work the same in relationship...not to hurt others, eventhough the person did not stop you to do so... =)

Ugly Betty

The chance to see a girl’s ugly side is a privilege, especially on the first meet because you have seen the worst before you see the nice and sweet side of her. That way, you learn to appreciate and accept the way she is…

I had the chance to see a girl’s ugly side, so she claimed…
Well, the beauty part is she is full of philosophy and has her answer to everything…A good stranger to share your thoughts and gossiping…

Looking back

First,I thought she is a “HE” and my direct question “Are you a GAY?” No offend to gays but I prefer to be careful. Added to that, I have an assumption it was a guy by your name…Sorry! =P

Is this for real, or any of my friend is playing a joke…The first day we chat was when I at MAS KL for a meeting…and she said her office is nearby MH Office…I like, are you for real…Hahaha
Well, that all I can write now…Will add into the list when I remember anything

Ps/- im so free in the office…BORED!

Airplane

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)


Yeah
I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin'
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when you're staring at that phone in your lap
And you hoping but them people never call you back
But that's just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel
And they sayin' what would you wish for
If you had one chance
So airplane airplane sorry I'm late
I'm on my way so don't close that gate
If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight
And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night


Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars

When they asked and my answer was...

Years ago when my teacher asked....

a. What is your ambitious?
I said, engineer, businessman and architect...It is obvious choice for a 12 years old,the famous choice that day was doctors, or architect, pilot, engineer, teacher, policeman, firefighter...and blablabla..
I wonder why doctor or any medic profession was not in the list...But then i figured out thatI cant stand listening to patients experience in operation theater/medical check up and to imagine how human bodies looks like, how painfull it is...I always run away from the conversation...Hahaha

b. Which subject do you like most?
I said, the easiest to score...I like maths but i always make careless mistake..
My next choice is English because I like cartoons! hahaha

Years ago i made a promise with a friend that i will not be in relationship untili get my first degree...And i had failed tremendously...Hahaha

ps/ - Looking back, i cant believe i was that innocent..hahaha

Pronto

Relationship to many Asia families always involve family member, one to get blessing from parents or even siblings...Maybe because we are very family oriented, the closeness is untill extended family when relatives usually meet during festive.

This topic came in after a story was publish http://www.hmetro.com.my/myMetro/articles/Merajukjodohdihalang/Article

I thought this only happen in movies...guess I was wrong

ps/- buat apa lah merajuk lama-lama..

half fiction

the evening was spent with an adorable girl, a friend, maybe? =P naaah, she is a good friend, emo'ish and smart...

she sent me a text asking if i will be free at night..

"where to," i asked...

"anywhere....a dinner maybe?"

"any occasion?"

"you are leaving...lets go out together before you leave..."

i left the office at 6, picked her from office and drove to mirdif city centre...
we settled at the foodcourt as strategic place to stay longer =) without psychologically be chasing away...

we talked almost about everything, her friends, at workplace, FOOTBALL, and SHOPPING...and finally to the first day we met...it was awkward that time, we were introduced by a friend and didnt talk much....but after the meeting, i found her blog and added her into my ym list....

we finally have to leave at 11 when the shops are closing...i offered to drive her home but she wanted to take taxi...walked her to the taxi stand and right before she went into the taxi she looked at me and said...

"dubai will not be the same without you here...i love you..."


ps/- so which is the fiction part?hahaha

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

what happened last night was....

i was with 2 new friends who are here for a short training, both are from the ministry of federal territories and welfare (i think!)....

we went to the naif street cos they wanted to buy some "kain" for "raya" =) and they end up with few "sifons" that cost half the price in kl....and few shawls...

then we headed to jumeira walk to have dinner.....and while waiting the food, one of them asked a very random question...

"where is your girlfriend..."

ps/- need to position myself in the singles quadrant...hahaha

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

The question above was left without an answer and i cant remember how that lead to a topic on 2 relationship terms created by the europeans...and we have concluded that:

a. open relationship is a term for couple who live together BUT they are free to date and see other people...there is no commitment involve, no string attach. we think reason why a guy/girl propose to be in an open relationship is because they cant be single and need someone as their social escort....

b. domestic partnership is unique, we were confused and first thought it is similar to marriage....BUT then we agreed that domestic partnership is couple who is in pre-marriage relationship....

So guys, please know and understand the word before you put anything on your social media profile...please do not make yourself look stupid in the virtual world

=)

ps/ - im getting good in pr.....hahaha

beauty

besides, beautiful girls...

i can see,
beautiful lies
beautiful jealousy
beautiful ignorance

though
the ugly come into the picture when...
someone will get hurt..

ps/- good, the question was straight to the point =)

short note

Allow me to quote a short note found on the web...

I am sorryI didn't meant to be like this

I just want to know where did you go
I didn't meant to hurt you I'm just worried about you

I have been in aviation industry for almost 2 years and the years seems to end this June.

Aviation is an interesting industry and I can say, being part of the marketing team for Middle East, Africa and South America region is the most exciting stage in my career. The function is like on job MBA training, where I do planning and market analysis - benchmarking, quadrant analysis, data mining and processing, risk analysis, market projection, customer value proposition and mapping business action items to support management strategy.

Besides the "boring" paperwork, numbers and graphs the function has "forced" me to build my character and to adapt to different cultures and people where I need to coordinate with offices in different countries - UAE, Bahrain, Egypt, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Mauritius, Turkey, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Argentina.

For all reasons mentioned above and few I decided to keep, I thank my current employee, management and colleague for their support and chance to be in the international corporate world.
I have learned a lot, I have changed a lot... 2 years in the industry has matured me personally and professionally.


ps/ - Others may have to wait at least 4-5 years after their first degree to have the same experience. I am excited with my next role in Malaysia...

roads...

many want the highways....faster...easier..





Slowdown there, highways are not everywhere...
There are times you will come across...




Bumpy roads...
Bumpy situation...







Please do not stop

But look for these...

Options, Alternatives....


Life is full of choices...
So make one =)

hiccups!

anyone knows why people always put wet tissue on the forehead when baby has hiccups?
doctors, scientists, parenting expert....any solid reason behind this? =)

i have had many hiccups in life...
there were time when i felt the world is not fair, people were discriminating and did not want me to get what i want. true, blaming others are the easiest way to ignore maturity!

there were time i felt i was on top of the world when everything happen as planned. i ignored people who helped, appreciate and thankful were not in the dictionary...

but then, i have changed the way i view life after a good or bad hiccup...

ps/- no wonder babies have hiccups...they are growing! =P
wish i wont stop hiccupping~ eerr i mean, growing

Bench warmer football players..

How does it feel to be sub-line, warming the wooden bench watching team mates playing on the field...

How does it feel to failed help the team to score just because you are not in the coach's game plan...

I think, any football player will move, even to a smaller club..

Just to continue playing, 90 minutes in every game...

ps/- world cup fever is heating up, i bet span will win this year

off note...

“Bagaimana mencari lelaki yang sesuai untuk dijadikan teman hidup?” tanya Azura kepada rakan-rakannya, memulakan perbincangan pada petang yang amat panas itu. “Ha! Aku teringat nasib kakak aku. Sebelum kahwin teman lelakinya menjanjikan macam-macam. Dua tiga tahun lepas kahwin dah tak nampak batang hidung. Aku tak mahu kahwin, lelaki sekarang tak boleh pakai.” Lisa mengeluh dengan nada benci lelaki. “Ehh! Ada juga jenis yang balik ke rumah, tetapi hanya tonton TV, baca surat khabar dan merungut itu ini. Kalau lelaki macam itu jadi suami, memang lagi bagus tak balik rumah langsung!” Azlin mencelah, menghebatkan lagi analisa mereka tiga sekawan tentang lelaki.

“Issy! Takkan tak ada lelaki yang boleh dipercayai, penyayang, bertanggungjawab dan matang untuk kita jadikan teman hidup, untuk kita jadikan suami?” Azura kehairanan. “Ya, tentu ada. Akan tetapi jumlahnya sedikit dan sukar untuk ditemui. Kalau sekadar lelaki memang ada di sana sini. Namun lelaki yang memiliki ciri-ciri suami umpama yang awak cakap tu, susah nak cari.” Azlin menjelaskan hakikatnya. Lisa terus menyampuk: “Lagipun sambil kita mencari dan memilih, bagaimana kita hendak tahu selepas kahwin nanti dia akan OK, atau merudum kualitinya sebagai suami sekaligus lelaki?”

Saya agak yakin perbincangan atau persoalan di antara tiga sekawan di atas merupakan sesuatu yang lazim – atau setidak-tidaknya pernah – bermain-main di fikiran para pembaca sekalian. Iyya! Dalam rangka kita belajar menambah ilmu, dalam rangka kita beramal sebagai seorang muslimat, dalam rangka kita bercita-cita menjadi individu cemerlang, tentu kita juga merancang untuk mendirikan rumahtangga yang bahagia. Akan tetapi nisbah kebahagiaan rumahtangga mutakhir ini yang lebih condong kepada tidak bahagia dan penceraian menyebabkan ada di antara kita yang merasakan ia satu rancangan yang sukar untuk dicapai.

Namun saya yakin para pembaca sekalian bukanlah orang yang mudah berputus asa. Jangan mengeluh jangan merungut, sebaliknya berusahalah mencari ilmu tentang kehidupan berumahtangga. Ilmu ini bermula sejak awal, sejak langkah-langkah awal mencari pasangan yang sesuai. Berkenaan mencari pasangan ini, Rasulullah s.a.w. telah berpesan: Seorang wanita dinikahi kerana empat sebab: hartanya, keluarganya, kecantikannya dan agamanya. Maka pilihlah kerana agamanya, jika tidak kamu akan rugi. [Shahih al-Bukhari, no: 5090]

Meskipun hadis di atas ditujukan kepada lelaki tentang bagaimana hendak memilih calon isteri, ia juga boleh digunakan oleh wanita tentang bagaimana hendak memilih calon suami. Justeru berdasarkan hadis di atas, ciri yang perlu diberi prioriti ialah kadar dan nilai agama calon suami.

Mengukur Agama Seseorang?Senang dibaca dan senang disebut, tetapi tidak senang untuk dipraktikkan. Bagaimana hendak mengukur agama calon suami bagi menentukan dia benar-benar sesuai? Izinkan saya berkongsi beberapa tips pada kesempatan ini.

Agama calon suami tidak cukup sekadar Islam, tetapi hendaklah merupakan seorang muslim yang baik, yang shalih. Keshalihan tidak diukur dengan ibadah yang lazim umpama solat lima waktu dan puasa sebulan pada bulan Ramadhan sebab itu memang wajib. Namun ia diukur dengan ibadah yang sukar dilakukan, yang jarang-jarang dilakukan, yang dapat memberi isyarat tentang peranan calon apabila bergelar suami kelak.

Ibadah yang saya maksudkan ialah sikap calon suami terhadap ibubapanya, khasnya ibu. Jika anda mahukan suami yang boleh dipercayai, penyayang, bertanggungjawab dan matang, maka perhatikan sikap calon suami anda terhadap ahli keluarganya. Jika beliau merupakan orang yang dipercayai oleh ibubapanya, menyayangi lagi bertanggungjawab menjaga ibubapanya serta matang membuat keputusan yang melibatkan urusan keluarganya, maka semua itu merupakan isyarat yang amat kuat bahawa beliau juga akan menjadi suami yang bagus. Ini kerana berbuat baik kepada ibubapa merupakan ibadah yang amat tinggi nilainya, sekaligus menjadi alat pengukur yang tepat bagi kadar agama seseorang dan hubungannya dengan Allah s.w.t.. Rasulullah s.a.w. menekankan: Keredhaan Allah terletak pada keredhaan ibubapa manakala kemurkaan Allah terletak pada kemurkaan ibubapa. [Shahih Sunan al-Tirmizi, no: 1899] Dalam sebuah hadis lain: Seorang lelaki datang menemui Rasulullah s.a.w. dan bertanya: “Siapakah manusia yang paling berhak untuk aku layan dengan sebaik-baiknya?” Baginda menjawab: “Ibu kamu.” Dia bertanya lagi: “Kemudian siapa?” Baginda menjawab: “Ibu kamu.” Dia bertanya lagi: “Kemudian siapa?” Baginda menjawab: “Ibu kamu.” Dia bertanya lagi: “Kemudian siapa?” Baginda menjawab: “Ayah kamu.”[Shahih al-Bukhari, no: 5971]

Justeru di antara ibu dan bapa, calon suami hendaklah mengutamakan ibunya. Jika calon suami prihatin kepada ibunya, sentiasa sedia membantu ibunya, kerap berhubung dengan ibunya dan lazim mengeluarkan belanja untuk ibunya, bererti dia seorang anak yang shalih. Jika calon suami bersikap demikian terhadap ibunya, maka ia merupakan petanda yang besar bahawa beliau juga akan bersikap demikian kepada bakal isterinya.

Sebaliknya jika calon suami mengabaikan ibubapa, masih mengharapkan penjagaan ibubapa, kerap menderhakai mereka, maka dia seorang yang memiliki kadar agama yang rendah. Lebih buruk jika calon suami berani meninggikan suara kepada ibu tetapi tidak kepada ayah, bererti dia manusia yang memandang remeh kepada wanita. Lelaki seperti ini tidak patut dijadikan calon suami kerana terdapat kemungkinan yang amat besar dia juga akan bersikap seumpama terhadap bakal isteri dan keluarganya.

Mengukur Agama Sendiri.

Dalam rangka anda mengukur agama bakal suami, jangan lupa untuk mengukur agama diri sendiri. Di samping menjaga amal ibadah yang lazim umpama solat, puasa, membaca al-Qur’an, menutup aurat dan membatas interaksi dengan yang lelaki bukan mahram, jagalah juga hubungan anda dengan ibubapa. Berbuat baiklah kepada mereka, khasnya ibu. Berbuat baik bukan semata-mata untuk lulus penilaian calon suami tetapi sebagai ibadah kepada Allah s.w.t.

the jack fruit story

it was a lovely day, a day full with malaysian food in dubai.

a. my boss bought butter scooth (wrong spelling, i know) for the morning's breakfast.
b. i bought manggo sweet and prawn roll for my colleague
c. the airport manager bought the jack fruit

and from there something funny happened...

the office boy as always has the duty to distribute food to all, and the last jack fruit came into the picture.

he gave to all, from the bosses and kulis...and after the round end, the office boy distrbute the boiled jack fruit seeds.

he offered to kak pah and me, she skipped and i took one...as i was about to put the seed into my mouth i looked at kak pah and asked....

"is this the seed from the eaten jack fruit?"

and kak pah just smiled and said " yes, but i dont know whose seed that you just ate..."

ps/ - maybe this is one of the team building activity...

from newspaper.... JOKE

There was a young couple who loved each other and planned to get married.They are scared to inform their parents thinking they might object their wishand decided to commit suicide.

Before committing suicide, they wrote a note explaining why they make the decision and applogize for the bold action.

And so, the next day the couple was found dead.

Their parents were shocked and went to the hospital to confirm the body of their children and read the notes left.

Suddenly they cried and the female's parents said "if only they could tell usand wait, they could be husband and wife..."

OK OK, it was not a joke from the way i write but

assumption is mother of srew up, and i think this is a joke

i made a friend who reads mine blog anonymously
to the stranger, my schedule was really tight..

maybe we can meet up in july..
perhaps for a cup of coffee

ohh ohh,
i recomend you to proceed with your plan to come to dubai

leave me message date your planned date..
and i take my remaining annual leave..

urgh, im melting

the whole team had dinner hosted by concorde shah alam, it was buffet and i like food they have. now, the whole entry will be boring if i be writting about food and time the whole team had after a very tense meeting. So, i be writting about a girl who was the waitress at the restaurant. i do not know her, but one thing i cant forget is her smile with cute dimples.

gosh, for sure i was melting just to see her smile** thats it.

reflecting to the **instant crush i had, i just focus to one of the 4 principles to find a wife which is beauty. if im just chasing and choose a girl purely on beauty, i might end up with nobody as beauty is very subjective.

ps/- i do not lie, she is cute!

i am thinking out loud to get engaged end of this year, IF i got a job in Malaysia.

Once forgotten, taken for granted

"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever?"

Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master..."

typical

Nahh, not a racist entry, read through and you understand

I am a friend to many ladies, married, single, once married and others and to my surprise they “talk” about man in my presence. Its either they accept me as their ears (listening terminal) or they think I’m a gay (which is not true!) and not to my surprise I always hear the “typical malay guy” sentence.

Most of them generalize “typical malay guy” to be possessive, indecisive, and have I am always right attitude in relationship.

To my immature experience the generalization was being portrayed because:

1. They ladies have not experience be in relationship with other nationals or race and generalise their partner to be “typical malay guy”.

2. Their assumption come from “typical malay girl” who will not satisfy no to matter what the “typical malay guy” does.

3. Influenced by acted romance in Hollywood and Bollywood screens.

But, few points I must agree with the “typical malay guy” syndrome, as we intend to:

1. Control our partner because we are too passionate with our partner

2. Think that other “typical malay guy” will snatch her away

3. Take things for granted

So to all “typical malay guy” and “typical malay girl” lets try to improve and accept each other, the way they are.

Cheers,

Adik, for you! =P

long distance relationship

From single's point of view...


Distance is always see as taboo in relationship, mostly for youngster like me who has trust and truthful issue. Insecurity and external noise are 2 famous break up reasons for distance couples. I feel and understand how a person feels to be apart from loved one but my life in Dubai has opened a small snapshot about distance relationship for expats who are working abroad just to support family back home.

Majority populations in Dubai are from the South Asia countries like Pakistan, India and Philippines and most of them are single in Dubai. They scarify time with family to be away and earn a bit more and provide better living in own country.

However, not to ignore a bunch of people who get excited with new culture and forgets promises made before landed into the land of “dream”. Irony, expats from India and Pakistan are mostly male and from Philippines are female and because of the unique default match making condition, we can see “mix” marriage.

See, distance relationship is hard, no doubt but once a couple has gone through a distance relationship, they can manage their marriage no matter how the situation will be, God’s will..
So to long distance couple out there, trust your partner, ignore extra noise from other guys and girls.. write to each other, share a blog, emails, facebooking…well, just a suggestion

Someone actually told me that marriage is not merely on love, it is more on partnership… And I started to believe that

Prove me wrong,
Prove me wrong that I am not arrogant or prove me wrong I did no sin
Prove me wrong that sun rises every morning and sets every evening
Prove me wrong that ocean as an end, prove me wrong that Santa does not exist
Just prove me wrong when I said

I did not know how you feel and better for us to be friends

Ps/ - They have their say and I cant stop to listen

Dont be selfish =)

sesungguhnya bahasa ibunda itu indah,
dan kerana itu kali ini ia dalam bahasa kita....

logikal tiada ruang dalam perhubungan
kerana logikal gagal, di tawan rasa
maka tiadalah pertimbangan
dan semua yang berlaku di luar kawalan

satu pagi tertanya
apa lagi yang di kejar
apa yang di kendung
mampukah pertahankan logika
dalam semua situasi

worth sharing

A boat docked in a tiny Mexican fishing village. A tourist complimented the local fishermen on the quality of their fish and asked how long it took him to catch them. "Not very long." they answered in unison. "Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" The fishermen explained that their small catches were sufficient to meet their needs and those of their families. "But what do you do with the rest of your time?" "We sleep late, fish a little, play with our children, and take siestas with our wives. In the evenings, we go into the village to see our friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. We have a full life. The tourist interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat." "And after that?" "With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico Cit y , Los Angeles , or even New York City ! [ From there you can direct your huge new enterprise." "How long would that take?" <> "Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years." replied the tourist. "And after that?" "Afterwards? Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting, " answered the tourist, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!" "Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the fishermen. "After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends." "With all due respect sir, but that's exactly what we are doing now. So what's the point wasting twenty-five years?" asked the Mexicans. And the moral of this story is: Know where you're going in life.... you may already be there!!
