Perak Journey August 2006

Sunday, August 27th, 2006

Home at last, but then the work routine starts all over again. Heh, now in the office but then my colleagues having hard time to decide on making their so called "party sosial". blerghh.. I’m still dunno either to decide to go or not.. huhu still tired. Anyway, last weekend was the best weekend for me in this year so far. It was enjoyable and hehe as usual, everywhere I go, surely there will be an incident as part of the sweet memories. Want to know? haha, well first let me thanks my best friend, Ivan, for letting me to stay at his home. It was very pleasant especially having your mom visiting as well. Makes this vacation much more interesting.

I arrived at Jelapang on Friday at 6.30pm and waited for Ivan to lead me to his home. At night, spent time with Ivan at the chinese night market, and truly this is my first time strolling around the chinese night market. Heh gladly, Ivan guide me not to simply buy something to eat. If not I might not know what I’m about to eat. So he bought me almost everything that he thinks interesting for me to eat. Thank you so much!!! =P. Then later that night we went out driving around Ipoh. I dunno how many time we passed the same road.. so confusing.. haha.

The next day since we slept late that night, Ivan woke up late and his colleagues already head to work, so I drived him to work that morning before heading to UTP for the Convofair. Spent one whole day there meeting my friends, and well some already told in the last blog. Well at 7.30pm Ivan called that he’ll be heading home so I have to rushed home and I find a new road to Jelapang without having to pass Ipoh city. But then I took the wrong junction at the silibin roundabout, make a U turn, suddenly…. in front of me is Ivan’s car and behind it his mom’s car. Lol what a coincidence. Well I’ve been informed that his mom will come and visit that weekend. And that night we went for fishing all of the family members. Haha but sadly no fish that night. But well yeah it was fun. We played with the worms that made his sisters running around. His mom was totally sporting.

The next day everyone woke up late.. well including me.. but at least I woke up a few minutes earlier =P Well then all of us went out for lunch in Bercham. Well since I’m very open, I don’t mind eating together with them in a chinese siamese restaurant. SInce Ivan was very concious and sensitive about muslim’s need he brings me to a mamak’s restaurant nearby and tapao some rice and fish curry and eat at the chinese restaurant. Once we’ve done, we went to Gua Tempurung and having lots of fun there until the horse stepped on my foot.. Ouch… but hell yeah it was a memorable thing o remember.. :P

It was great. ^_^ Well at night since Ivan’s mom will be heading home, I want to let them spent precious time together, I just stayed at home. But then, Ivan want to have dinner wih me, so we went to a malay cuisine nearby. I have rice with kailan while he ordered Tom yam meehoon. Well it was a pleasant evening of course. Then after that we went home, I took my bath and head to UTP for one last time while Ivan spent his time with his mom and sisters for dinner somewhere in Ipoh.
I don’t know when he came back home since I already asleep.

Today I woke up early to get ready for journey back to KL. At first I don’t want to woke Ivan since he’s still sleeping but then I left my camera in his car. No choice haha, sorry though. He woke up, I wipe my car and have a few last moments chatting outside his house, talk about lots of stuff from our school days. Then suddenly it was 8.30am, time to head back home and time for Ivan to get ready for work. So we have to split ways then. Truly I enjoyed myself a lot this time. If only god give me another free 24 hours I might stay there for a while. But heh, life must go on. So after saying goodbye, I start my journey back home and str8ly heading to office and start to work.. haha. Well here some misc piccies.. enjoy!!

ConvoFair UTP 2006

Saturday, August 26th, 2006

Hi guys out there, yeah this is the first time I wrote a blog from here a place that holds many memories, good and not so good. But still I love this place so much regarding the extreme conditions where it’s like sahara desert during day and north pole at night, all the pak guards stories, and lots of stuff but yet to me it’s my third place in this world that kept a key to some of my hidden secrets of memories. Today for me is the most memorable convofair I ever attended. 1st-ly since I did make some contacts with MITCO Petronas towards building business networks for may company in order to venture further towards an international entity company. Hope all went well and will work hard towards it. 2nd-ly, my dreams to meet some of old friends has come true, shidan, parchy, abang, sin-chan, syuk, mat-d, kak riana, kukis, iyayy, rizmi, my boss from TEC 2004 (sorry lupa laa nama), shawn, MPPUTPs guys, abshar, abg faiz, areep and many more to list. Thanks guys for still remembering me. May we all remain friends.

Though this journey has 1 main objective where, there is one person that I’m really looking forward to meet. Because of that I plan my holidays well and took an official leave from work starting Friday and will be heading back to KL on monday morning, depends on situation. It was a pleasant evening, I really feel comfortable with the person (which I don’t want to mentioned it here since I really respect that person’s feelings and I don’t want to make a big hype since it’s too early to make such drastic decision. Yeah it’s a between hearts and feelings which you can’t simply toying or play with. Time to get serious this time).

I do take love seriously and I don’t want to simply mess with it for such crazy decisions or just so-so decisions. I want to make our love story a story of a lifetime. To me at recent I don’t evaluate people by the way they looks. As what my mom alway say "biar sakit dimata, asal tidak dihati" Means the person shall not always good looking but what’s important is the heart. I hope the person has a feelings as well towards me since I’m hoping to get close and really know the person better.

This is my sincere statement, "from the first day I met you, you have already take my heart away, but since there is something between us that hold me back from going further as I’m not a person who’s willing to compete or intervene other people’s love. That’s why I tried to find other options, but yet it lead to failure. Actually not a total failure, but it lead me back to you. I’m so suprised, although we have been separated due to my career and you with your studies, it still does not make me forget about you. Forgive me to say such thing. But this is my feeling, and I do hope it will come true. If it’s impossible, at least I hope it will be the best memories in my life."

Ok I guess don’t want to get emotional here hehe, so well that’s part 1 of convofair story here. More updates coming soon. Later.. going out for light dinner.

Kenangan Terindah

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

Aku yang lemah tanpamu
Aku yang rentan karena
Cinta yang t’lah hilang
Darimu yang mampu menyanjungku

Selama mata terbuka
Sampai jantung tak berdetak
Selama itu pun aku mampu
Untuk mengenangmu

Darimu kutemukan hidupku
Bagiku kaulah cinta sejati

Chorus :
Bila yang tertulis untukku
Adalah yang terbaik untukmu
Kan kujadikan kau
Kenangan yang terindah dalam hidupku
Namun takkan mudah bagiku
Meninggalkan jejak hidupku
Yang t’lah terukir abadi
Sebagai kenangan yang terindah

Darimu kutemukan hidupku
Bagiku kaulah cinta sejati

“Khas buat semua rakan-rakan dan insan yang pernah ku cintai and sayangi satu ketika dahulu terima kasih atas segalanya, maafkan ku kerna tidak mampu untuk memberikan mu segala yang diimpikan. Diriku hanya insan biasa yang tidak mampu untuk memberikan sesuatu yang diluar kemampuan. Hatiku tetap satu, diriku masih satu dan inilah janjiku, hidup akan kuteruskan, sekalipun aku bersendirian. Tiada gentar dalam hati kecil ini sekalipun terpaksa melalui kehidupan dalam kegelapan tanpa cahaya, sekalipun terpaksa memikul segala muatan diatas bahu kecil ini semata-mata untuk meneruskan kehidupan yang masih panjang. Ku tidak memiliki kebijaksanaan seperti yang kalian ada, tetapi segala anugerah yang tuhan kurniakan akan aku kerjakan sepenuhnya demi mencipta kejayaan yang paling gemilang dan mencari permata yang telah hilang dari genggaman”

The longest Blog for me atm

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

sheesh.. a long week for me since last blog. It’s truly a busy month and challenging too. Too many to described here and I guess I make it short. Today managed to redesigned all 9 logo of agencies which has agreed to sponsored the ASEAN Young Entrepreneurs Symposium (but now ad-hoc known as ASEAN Young Entrepreneurs Secretariat). The most complicated logo that truly makes me sweat is the jata negeri Selangor. Since it will be a waste to buy the logo from the advertising agency, it’s better for me to draw it from the scratch. Gladly it was successful. Last friday, I have been asked by my chairman to attend the A-YES meeting in Shah Alam. It’s the most important meeting I ever attended so far. Gladly I kept my neck tie in my bag, so I just hang it on my neck and I’m off. At first I thought it was a meeting between the A-YES ad-hoc committee, so I don’t expect much, suddenly.. gulp.. the person I shaked hands was the vice president of Kumpulan Darul Ehsan Berhad or KDEB, Manager of Publications & Promotion of Selangor State Investment Center or SSiC, MBSA, Puncak Niaga’s representative and others who I can’t remember. Truly it scares me a lot since 80% of the people in the board room was corporate people, and that’s demotivates me. I’m just a “pipit’ sitting the same level with “Enggang”. My chairman was the President of Dewan Muda DPMMS. So it was him who gave me this opportunity to stand out and show the best of me. That’s what get me back on the foundation. He gave me the chance to design all of the concept, logo and all printing related materials. And alhamdulillah, all of my designs and concept has been accepted during the presentation. I have been introduced to all of these corporate people and it is hoped that it will be “batu loncatan” for me to strive further in my career path, insya-Allah. And today, my chairman informed me that A-YES will be postponed to a new date after aidilfitri since Pak Lah’s schedule has gone through a drastic change due to his and Tun’s case. Truly troublesome but well there’s a good side about it. At least now I’m a bit relaxed and will have ample time to produce better designs and well expect more amendments need to be made along the way.

Can’t wait this coming friday. I’m coming back to UTP at last. Can’t wait to see back my friends. Although I’m out from there, in my blood, UTP still everything for me. From UTP I learn a lot besides academic. I learn about friendship, hate, life, and almost everything that carved my personality. It changes me a lot from a nerd into a social person but with my own mold. I never feel regret and sorry for what had happened. UTP still within me.

Lots of issues happened nowadays. The sugar issue for example, I can’t even believe it Malaysia will face sugar shortage, we produce sugar.. plus suddenly today lots of “gula halus” in the market which are quite expensive then “gula kasar”. To think of it, both are sugars and both have the same ingredients only the different, one is “halus” and the other “kasar”. So where is the shortage word comes from???? Well to me it’s a dirty trick to raise the sugar price in the market. So what is The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs doing? and where is Ministry of Agriculture & Agro-Based Industry? Nothing has been made and the reality is Malaysians has no choice except to accept the fact that the increase in the cost of living. Now I realized how hard to earn money and I also realized how easy for others to drain our money. That’s the truth behind the chapters in the book of life. We are made to pay the tax, bills and all related stuff, but yet what have been payed does not benefits us. I really miss the time when Tun is our PM. I’m not saying I’m pro of Tun M. At least, how “Kafir”, “Firaun” or all bad things been told to him, we can see MSC, Putrajaya, KLIA, ICT, Pulau Pinang bridge, and lots of development that made Malaysia known to the world. Today? nothing more except for MRR2 problems, raise in petroleum price, shortage of sugar supply, batik show and lag in bio-tech development. Want to know the real meaning of “pembaziran”? In my humble opinion, MSC in Cyberjaya should be fully developed first before thinking about Cyberport in Johore. No focus at all. Too many attractions and yet no promise in future development. You may ask why, I may not be able to answer this question completely but through this little mind of mine, I may provide answers from pure logic point of view. Pak Lah’s vision is to developed agriculture as Malaysia’s new source of income. That’s what has been promised last time. From that dot, ICT development slowly facing resession and many investors and traders starting to change their course towards agriculture and bio-tech. They become agressive and truly high spirited to grab the opportunity. Slowly people leaving the ICT market to venture into these “promising” sector. Let’s compare the “Cintai IT” campaign and the “Agriculture is Business” campaign. I still remember the theme IT song sang by Siti Nurhaliza. That shows how influential the promotions are to encourage malaysians towards loving and making IT as part of their life. From there the idea to construct Sekolah Bestari, computer labs, 1 family 1 PC campaign, funds and financial aid to help needy people to buy and own a computer and to learn about it, the MSC project, establishment of Cyberjaya, Multimedia University, Proton City, E-Government, MIMOS, Intel Malaysia, MEASAT, and other malaysians satellite, all electronic and smart systems imposed in hospital, and ventures in aerospace technology. All these has been laid in-front of us ready and well prepared to set sail towards VISION 2020. But today, VISION 2020 only known as a name, and the same basic problem applies… lack of persistency. Maybe our PM has no interest in the project, so since the ship to VISION 2020 is ready to set sail, the agriculture, islam hadhari and batik passenger has been invited on the ship while some of the passenger of the VISION 2020 armada who already owned the ticket has to leave due to changes of captain and unavailable seats or the seats are no longer available to them but made available to these new comers. This is what I can think of.

I wonder if I’m crossing the borderline now. But well yeah I do feel disappointed with what happened with Malaysia nowadays. But that does not mean I’m into oppositions. I’m not following anyone, as I remain neutral, defender of the peace as what the jedi prophecies are heh.. Well I guess this is the longest blog i wrote so far. Truly I learn this from communicating with different parties and after meeting with lots of people. I guess the A-YES project really open the doors for me to hear lots of stuff and makes me more aware about what’s happening around me. I guess that’s what makes us more matured. But please.. god let me feel the sweetness of youth as I’m not ready to become an adult yet.. hehe.. now that’s personality problems within me. Anyway, can’t wait to travel to Perak this weekend. It will be my 2nd visit since last March for Gerak Usahawan in bangunan Perak Darul Ridzuan representing my company. I hope I’ll be able to meet with my old friends especially May 2002 batch. Regards to all and have a pleasant day ahead.

New Friend.

Saturday, August 12th, 2006

After a tiring work, preparing final design proposal for A-YES Malaysia 2006, I decided to meet my new friend. Actually it’s my first time meeting with someone I knew online. At first I was a bit scared. Yeah well you know, nowadays it’s a bit dangerous to meet with someone you didn’t know with all the crime cases and bla bla bla. But I decided to face it since deep in my heart, there’s something telling me it will be alright. So after telling my mom where I’m going, I drove to Atria Shopping Mall. And after setting a place to meet at Restoran Nasi Kandar Jelutong, there I meet him. It was a nice evening, we chat and chat about lots of stuff. He likes to travel a lot so I enjoyed listening to his stories when he went to so many places like Eqypt, Japan, UK and many more. Wish I have that much money to visit those places. He’s going to Greece end of this year. Lucky him. Well for me, maybe stucked here with my work, haha. Well at least I met a new friend and it was a great evening. Thanks for the treat. Well I guess I better go sleep now. Long list of activities waiting for me tomorrow. Nite
