Lama tak post.. lupa pulak nak cakap. My new blog is now available at www.fahroe.com. So see you guys there.

Orait people.. I'll be switching over from blogspot to my own blog domain.
Ditch my initial plan to use MT and will be using GreyMatter for my new upcoming blog. Being a sucker on HTML coding and programming, the new page will be simple (I mean really really really simple).

So.. just wait for the official switch over.

-- Yeah.. got my Monte Cristo cigars.

Awal pagi aku kene tukar plan untuk pergi ke tempat client. Instead pergi terus dari rumah, aku kene masuk opis dulu untuk ambil document. Lupa nak bawak balik semalam since kelam kabut nak pergi buka puasa with Dell. This time Dell buat kat Passion Road, Damansara. Tempat dia kewl jugak. Rumah banglo 2 tingkat converted jadik restaurant. Food wise, kurang sket lar sebab choice dia tak banyak sangat. Aku tak amik nasi, just ratah sayur n fruits. Kerabu mangga dia sedap sei.. lama tak pekena kerabu mangga. :P. Masa tuh..jumpa la geng BBS - Reimy. And few other people dalam circle of vendor kampeni aku.

Hari nih, domain aku dah transfer kat GoDaddy. Pagi tadi aku update semua DNS record, now tunggu everything activate ajer la. Expect that the blog will go down in few days kot. Aku nak migrate semua pergi new system. Jumpa new blog tool call bBlog. Tak ade la payah sangat nak install. Tengok la cam mane. Tunggu everything in place dulu lar. Aku dok try MT tak jalan jalan gak.. give up ah. Aku nak yang simple ajer. Tengok cam mane nanti. Hopefully jalan ler.

Najahnasseri dalam blog dia ade komen pasal buffet bulan puasa di KL sekarang nih. Memang tak dinafikan, price buffet sekarang memang gilos punya tinggi. Ape yang buat makanan kat KL nih mahal sangat? Pergi kampung kampung..luar KL ... herga alahai.. teringat pergi Kelantan 2 bulan lepas. Ayam goreng, Rm1 seketul. Bukan yang kecik punya, besor giler. Sinih??? Jangan harap lar kalau nak dapat kurang dari RM1.50. Padahal herga ayam bukan kene kontrol ker? Bila stock ayam banyak sangat, pergi bakar anak ayam. Ni cerita dulu la.. few years back. Makanan lain jangan cerita lar. Kalau fast food tuh aku tak komplen sangat, memang harga dia cam tu sebab mende tu franchise. So ade la kontrol ler aper ler.. Nih food court KL Sentral pun mencekik darah cam giler.

Lagi satu, kata lah gomen announce harga tepung atau gula naik 10sen sekilo. Immediately satu KL punya restaurant naik price air lar.. roti canai lar.. weiiiiii come on laa.. Don't tell me roti canai sekeping pakai tepung sekilo???? Kekadang aku sound kedai yang mane naik harga suka hati dia. Siap tanya staff dia lar.. Korang punya gaji naik kaa? Apa pasal herga makanan naik? Boss tak cukup income lagik so kene naik semua lar?
Hampeeeehhhhhhhh tull lar.

Satu lagi.. bila gomen announce bonus ker.. time dekat raya ker.. time festive season ker.. mesti harga barang naik. OK fine.. demand lebih dari pengeluaran, tapi tak kan tak ada orang nak counter kasik lebeh product????? Ke satu Malaya komplot nak cekik consumer???

Orait.. nak gi Nelayan. Buka puasa with client. Actually, manager ajak aku.. tak involve pun dalam project nih.. balun ajer laa.. Kekkekekek....

-- Sejuk yang amat. KL nak jadik kutub khatulistiwa ker???? Brrrggggghhhh..

Ani dah sampai KL semalam. The funny part, bag dia terus di tag and check in to Cambodia. Padahal minah tu nak lepak KL one nite dulu. So, we waited for 1 and half hour before the bag can be taken out from the luggage area. Nasib baik tak sampai Cambodia dah. Kalau tak sia sia ajer. Tapi yang peliknya, cam mane pandai sangat pegi check in terus pegi Cambodia? Dah kasik tau awal awal pegi KL dulu before sana. Ntah ler. Bila pandai sangat cam nih ler jadik nyer.. Terlebeh efficient. Kalau kurang tuh.. tersangat ler kurang. Memacam la..

Hari nih aku membzkan diri ngan reformat server and notebook. Boss aku bising tak leh nak install appz dalam notebook. Ade application dah corruptkan windows installer. Pening aah. Culprit dia Norton AV. Menatang tuh tak buat clean uninstall. Last last aku dah pening, aku reformat balik ajer la notebook tuh. Server tuh memang kene format sebab nak buat Ghost image baru. Dah ready dah semua. So nanti leh pakai balik new image.

Got to go.... Man sampai awal plak kat opis. Buka posa time....

Hmm.. stil waiting for domain transfer to complete. Nothing much to do except wait.

Something went wrong this morning on my fahroe.com domain. Satu mail pun tak sampai kat domain tuh. Penin la jugak. Then notice that, aku blom transfer domain provider dari Network Solutions to Namezero. Dulu NameZero guna Network Solutions untuk DNS names. Pas tuh dia dah dapat ICANN registry status, so sape sape client kat situ kene transfer lar record dari Network Solutions pergi kat dia. Ahhh sudah, is this the culprit??? Dalam dok kelam kabut tuh, aku start to transfer domain aku dari NameZero to GoDaddy.com. Kewl gaks process dia. Cepat sket. Now tgh tunggu transfer process. Murah pun murah. USD6.95 ajer. Then aku beli disk space kat CitaHost.Com. Cadang cadang nak migrate everything from Blogger to aku punya own server. Dah ready dah semua. Tinggal nak install blog appz ajer. Tak tau nak pakai aper. Moveable Type ker, or GreyMatter. Lain ade aper ah? Aku bukan reti sangat nak mencoding nih. Maybe pakai MT kot. Just need to be a bit patient ajer lar this few days utk set up the whole thing. Silap silap aku letak Mambo. kekekeke. Wat portal sendiri.

Lupa plak... bukan domain aku sorang ajer. Domain opis aku pun kene.. Dok pikir cam mane nak selamatkan semua nih. Pening seiii ngan NameZero nih.

Esok sambung configure server baru. Hopefully domain transfer success ler.

Abang Kimi dah tangkap Boblbee Sports series. Yeah.. la nih ade team dah yg pakai this bag. Why I love this bag? First of all, the design. 2nd the back support it offers. Talk about the design, just see what people do with the bag. Kewl sehhhh.. Jeles giler tengok. Macam macam mende orang buat dengan bag nih. And do you this bag comes with a manual on how to use it??? As for myself, I own a Boblbee Megalopolis Titan series. Ingat nak cari airbrush artist to draw something on the bag. Hmm.. baper la pulak nak kopak tu. Know any place cheap? Hhehehe

Ada The Matrix fans tak out there? Tonite is day man!!. Malam nih start show The Matrix - Revolution. Kewl giler. Sayangnya tak ade tiket. Hmm. melelepas. Show after 12am ade lar. Gilos aah nak pergi. Maybe weekend nih kot. Tengok lar cammane. And sape sape yang nak mendalami erti The Matrix tuh, sila sila le ker web site nih. You will go deep in the rabbit hole.

Will be in PutraJaya this afternoon for a tender briefing. Hmm.... dateline time aku kat kampung. Sabor ajer.. Sib baik bukan team lead.

-- My.Boblbee User Group anybody?

Yeah.. got my tickets already for the LOTR marathon.
See ya all at TGV KLCC on Dec 19.

Lord Of The Rings Fans,

Cekidout..

Posting on last Friday hilang. Hampeh la pulak.

Malam tadik nyaris nyaris nak demam. At 2am badan mengigil giler. Then aku bangun, telan Panadol soluble 2 bijik and tidow balik. At 4 am peluh giler badan aku. Nasib baik berpeluh. So pagi nih dah ok la rasanya sket. Tapi ade la jugak sengal sengal kat badan nih. Erggghh.. Nih semua sebab kene hujan sikit ajer masa aku balik dari Carrefour Cheras petang semalam. By the time masuk rumah, dapat rasa suhu badan start naik. Then aku telan soluble after buka posa. By the time nak tidow, menjadik balik. Hmm. Hopefully hari nih tak naik balik lar temperature badan aku.

Last saturday, buka puasa with Anseri meriah giler. Almost 80 people datang. Pix ada kat sinih. Budak batch aku ade kat 7 orang ajer datang. Tak aper la.. asalkan ada. Ramaid arik 1st and 5th batch. Food was nice, meehoon goreng dia sedap giler. Nyesal makan sikit ajer. This time puasa aku fail aah makan. Semalam macaroni & sushi sket, dah kenyang giler. Bloated sampai malam. Dah tua kot? Hhehehe.

Nak gie amik ATM kad jap. Ilang plaks last week. Then off to StarBuck for LOTR Marathon tickets.

-- Blurr n migrain.

Arrggh.. hari nih hari autograph. Stacks of Raya greeting card kene sign. And I have to update address lists of my clients. Sabor ajer laa..

-- Buka puasa mane hari nih?

Semalam KL traffic really push me to the limit. Jem giler bab nyer di KL, dari Jalan Loke Yew ke Cheras. Aku dengan Man stuck dalam kereta kat almost 1 and half hour. Tensen siot. Last last aku pusing balik pi KL Sentral. Buka posa kat food court ajer. Tak dapat nak merasa murtabak Pandan Jaya. Beli kat KL Sentral punya murtabak rasa cam hampeh. Hmm. petang nih balik awal cari murtabak. Yeh..

Aku rasa nama KL sendiri memang show sebab ape jem. KL = Kesesakan Lalulintas. Jinx kot? Kene tukar la nama KL nih. Ape nama nak kasik? Ada idea?

Tadi aku help out budak Anseri jap. Ade probs dengan web site dia. Guna Mambo just like aku punya Anseri page. Ntah naper bila upload gambar untuk news/stories, tak display pulak dalam selection list. Permission semua dah kasik. Blurr lagik. Then help him out also on creating new banner and such. Makin ramai guna mambo nih. Liga-A punya site pun pakai Mambo gaks. Kewl seh.

Orait.. sambung nap japs. Ngantuk giler.

1st day posa dah settle. So far OK ajer la. Buka posa pun simple je, tak nyempat beli food coz by the time aku ngan Man sampai pasar Ramadhan Pandan Jaya, banyak dah habis. Ingat nak cari murtabak, tapi Q punya la panjang. Orang KL memang tak masak utk bukak posa nih.

At nite keluar japs to meet a friend. Pas tuh dok cita la pasa kronism kat negara tercinta nih. Kalau pikir balik, if you dah duduk kat top place, you want to do things, sape you pilih? Some stranger out of no where? Or somebody that you know their capabilities? Your friend? Your family? Why not? They support you to go up there? Right? Without them, what would you be?

Tak dinafikan, ade la jugak set kronism tak tentu arah. Kasik mende mende kat orang yang tak capable to do it. Banyak wooo. Malas cakap. Karang kene black listed plaks.

Tengok iklan Maxis yang baru sempena Deepavali? Funny kan? Hopefully tak ade orang terasa la. Moralnyer, kita jangan lupa la kita ni siapa. Orang mana, asal mana. Kekadang, baru duduk oversea 2 tahun berlagak kalahkan foreigner sendirik. Takat besor ngan nasik tak yah klentong la weiiii..

Aini is coming back on 9th Nov nih. Dah pesan few things.. cigar, etc. This time cari cigarillos la pulak. Mini cigar. And as usual, aku mintak Te Amo Individual aku. Saje nak kumpul kotak dia. Lawa seh.. Sape nakkkkk?????

-- Perghh.. lawa siot Outlook 2003 nih.

Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan kepada semua.

Jangan pose yang yok dah ler.

Dieting... one word, everybody would like to do it, but don't have the guts to really DO it. Ok... I know some people would say " Erk.. xcuse me... tot u hate diet??"

OK this is the story. For the past few years, been maintaining my weight at circa 93-98kg range. You see, I can have a a body weight of 93-94 in the morning, and when night arrives, my wight would go up to 97-98kg. The next morning it would goes down again. Hmm.... pelik nih.

Then for the past couple of weeks, I'm feeling bit tired. Being a big size that's nothing unusual. Biasak lar, naik tangga 4 tingkat pun penat giler. Now, I feel chest pain, not to mention cramps and kebas on my hands and legs mostly at night. Man hari tu ada cerita, tu tanda heart attack and nak paralyze. Demn.. he's freaking me out now.

So now, I'm trying to reduce my food intake. And eat more balance lar so called. The only thing exercise ajer tak ade. Mane leh jalan kan????? Nak kata no exercise at all tu tipu lar. Pepagi at least aku menapak dalam 10-15 minit ke tempat letak kereta di rumah dan opis. Sikit jer.. heheheheh. Awal awal dulu ade la jugak buat 3-4 round kat taman KLCC nun. Tapi bila keje balik tak menentu, tinggal hangat hangat taik ayam ajer la. To say I'm on a diet, wrong statement lar sei. Makan pagi n lunch ajer kurang. Nite ade gak melantak (not everynight loh, sekali sekala).

So, dah buat almost 4 weeks dah. Belum lagik weight again. Hopefully turun under 92kg lar. Ideally my weight should be around 75kg. Hell, thats a long way to go man! No pain no gain?? Hhahahaha. Tengok la cam mane. Ade sape sape nak support ker?

Pushing factor pun kurang. But I'm putting a high spirit on it. Better la dari sekor mamat nih. Beli kasut sport kunun nak jogging lar. Tapi dari belum ada awek sampai la dah kawin, baru sekali dua ajer pakai kasut tu. Ceiiii.. lagik tera dari aku. Last Saturday pegi lunch rumah dia, pehhh.. makin bulat ajer perut tuh. Nak lawan aku ker weiii?

Ape-ape pun, tadi sempat la merasa food tasting event by D'Saji dekat Dewan Perdana Felda. Boleh tahan la. Ramai jugak yang datang. Tan Sri Dr Yusof Noor rasmikan. Aku, Adam and Toy pegi rasa la. Lepas balik dari Ampang singgah terus situ. Free katakan. Melantak lagik...

Esok cuti Deepavali - public Holiday kat Malaysia. So I'm wishing all who celebrates it, Happy Deepavali and may you have a wonderful year ahead. To the rest of Malaysian, happy holidays. Drive carefully, the highway/road is not the F1 circuit.

Semalam pergi seminar anjuran Trans Niaga. Security seminar, dirasmikan oleh Timbalan Menteri Komunikasi, Tenaga dan Multimedia. Masa Timbalan Menteri kasik speech, aku rasa kesian tengok dia baca text ucapan dia. Slow and steady, tak bertenaga. Making ramai participant rasa resah. Aku rasa all the goverment head nih should attend public speaking classes. I mean, dia orang interact dengan public. Public wants to know what is their opinion. Of course, ada text ucapan. But lihat Che Det, Pak Lah, Anwar, Hamid Albar etc, they can give speech without reading text. It came from their minds. Still remember, pergi berbuka puasa with PM, anjuran Ansara last year. After solat terawikh, Che Det kasik ucapan. A simple yet very informative. Dia boleh tarik everybody punya attention with his speech. Boleh buat joke sedikit sebanyak untuk kurangkan the tense. Hmm entahlah.

I've been giving quite a number of presentation (I think more than 25 times in my career with current company). Memula memang la gagap sket. Asyik kene refer note ajer. Then slow and steady I began to think, why should I read the notes? I mean, I should KNOW what I'm presenting. Not reading it. Kalau nak baca, better print out the presentation and kasik to the participants. Kan???? Maybe my presentation tak entertaining macam certain people. Tak dinafikan jugak ada kalanya topik tuh boring. Esp. on product explaination. But, if we know it by heart, I think we can deliver our speech or presentation much more better.

Malam tadi kat National Geographic Channel (Ch. 52 Astro) ada cerita on Aryton Senna, one of the F1 legend. Banyak yang di explainkan dalam tu. How they try to find out why Aryton crashed, how can they come up to the reason of the crash, etc. Most of the explaination are backed by facts rather than assumption. E.g, they explained that the car steering tak patah before crashed because the reading of the steering showed that its receiving high G-force during the turn. Ade la macam macam lagik. Maybe sape sape interested check out lar. Tak sure la pulak bila repeat dia. Erk.. pagi tadi pukul 8 dia punya repeat. Details sinih.

Yeah.. boss kasik permission utk upgrade DSL link kat opis. Pas nih 2mb la link opis. Dulu 56k ajer. Now at 1mb. Cukup kot pas nih 2mb? Makin laju seii hehehehehe. Yah.. Bittorrent, here I come. Just a question to all yang membaca.
1. What is your internet access speed?
2. Do you think its enough?
3. Do you think the internet access is cheap or expensive?

Orait.. balik awal today. Nak pergi K&U. Pekena kopi local. Muar ada, Hainan ada, Kuantan, Ipoh, Tg Malim. Semua ada. Kewl woo.. murah pun murah. Try out the Kopi Blended. Perghh.. boleh blah la coffee bean kaa.. SFC kaa. GJ kaa... Ini Malaysia mari. Hehhehehe

Al-Fatihah

A well known name in Malaysia blogger community, Johan Ismail (Joe-Blogs) passed away on Saturday, 18 October 2003. As a mark of respect, his blog site was taken down for temporary by fellow bloggers.
I was informed by Shamsul of PalmX during our BTM on the same day.

Moga-moga ruh Allahyarham ditempatkan dikalangan orang-orang yang beriman dan beramal soleh.

Been a quiet and slow day since Monday. While doing troubleshooting some software technical issue, I played around with new proxy software. It took me quite some times to set up an internal proxy machine in the office, but most software I've found its either too expensive or too difficult to configure. Finally, I managed to get a proxy server called Privoxy. Comes in RedHat RPM package, which makes installation a breeze. A few lines in configuration file edited to suit the environment, and I managed to bring up the system within 30 minutes. Tapi, nak mencari the exact software take me one whole day. Dem....:( Among other application tested - Muffin, AProxy, Squid, Dante, AWP, and others.

In installing software on Unix environgment, usually we refer to a lot of docs, faq and README. Kekadang tengok RTFM, tak semua developer buat docs easy to understand. Some of the are hampeh. I mean really hampeh. But, there are some that is really good ones. IBM is well known to have a very good documentation on its application. Everytime nak cari help on IBM, I just need to get the right keyword, download the document and start reading.

Reading is a habit that everybody should practise. Abedib, a well known figure in Malaysian blogger community, frequently suggest good reading material in his blog. Nowadays, my reading are quite limited. Jarang la jugak cari buku buku nak membaca, since banyak information ambik dari Net. Sometimes, kalau nak tau something, fire-up google.com, type few keywords, refine search and bingo! Got what I want. On my machine, its common for me to open up more than 20-30 web browsing session. Multi tasker la kunun. But most of the time, I'll start my day in the net by reading slashdot.org. A good place for geek like me. But I know, everbody else has thousand sites that its good for them.

Been helping Aini to get a new SLR and Digital camera. Tak tau lagi mana nak pilih. She told that she could get Nikon F55 with additional 70-300mm lens at about RM1500 in Ireland. But, I'm getting an offer for RM1700 for Nikon F75 with additional lense 70-300mm lens. Lanz SMS yesterday he could get Nikon F80 with additional battery pack and camera bag for RM1800. As for the digital camera, haven't decide lah. Pening nak pikir.

Esok konsert Linkin Park di Stadium Merdeka. Memula ingat nak la jugak pergi. But, keadaan tak mengizinkan. To all yang pergi, enjoy. Amik gambar banyak banyak woooiiii.

-- Crawling by Linkin Park.

I'm searching the web for list of Malaysian thingy thing.. such as Malaysian National Flower, Malaysian Nasional Car, Malaysian Fast Food, etc. I remember seing it at either TV Smith old web site, or somewhere.

Could anybody help me on this? Mail me to fahroe@fahroe.com.

Thanks guys.

Awal pagi dah sampai opis. Nak prepare for the presentation for a new prospect. Hmm.. this time slides aku ade lagu background la pulak. Memacam betul bosses nih nak. Itu la, ini la.. yang nak presentnya sape? Hampeh dot com betul lar.

Last nite masa before nak tidur, aku layan kejap TechTV. Ade story pasal few places di donia nih yang graviti tak betul sket. According to the claim, its because of magnetic flux. Tapi ade gak yang tak setuju. But, the place is really weird. Tapi.. bila aku tengok balik, teringat aku kat Planetarium Negara ade showcase yang lebih kurang same ajer fenomena dia dengan tempat-tempat yang di ceritakan. Ape yang planetarium buat adalah, bina lantai yang senget. But the environment looks like everything is flat. Payah la jugak nak jalan dalam tuh. Check it out kat sana.

Lupa nak cerita, Selasa lepas pergi Palm product launching. Dah jatuh chenta sama ini mende la pulak. Cun wooooooo.. Sempoi giler. Price starts at RM1488. Sib baik tak tangkap Zire71, and it's lighter than Sony product. Been a good event that nite, saw few new accessories for PDA. IR Keyboard, SDIO Camera, new stylus, and mobile charger. Charger penting woo.. berapa kali dah aku punya Clie hard reset sebab bateri tinggal ngam-ngam soi ajer.. sedor pagi tengok dah reset. Makkkk.. kene reset balik.

-- Sound by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Under Pressure.

Tgh nak tunggu meeting Anseri start. Hampeh betul part janji melayu ni. 5 minit lagi kunun, 5 minit masa kiamat kot? Sabor aje la.

Harinih jalan jem balik sebab OIC dry run. Sib baik jalan ke K&U kat Sri Hartamas nih clear. Kalau tak, tobat aku nak mai. Perlu sangat ke dry run nih? Nak tunggu actual day OIC conference. Takat mana jem dia.

Esok presentation for tender. Today punya run trough for the slide kene kensel. Partner tak dapat sampai sebab sangkut dalam jem. Kesian la pulak. Pagi esok tengok cam mana.

Makin dekat dengan year end, makin banyak project nak masuk. Kenapa la tak buat awal awal dulu? Sometimes, in the mid of the year, nothing sei nak buat. Pening paler ngan dunia korporat nih. Dah tau ujung tahun bz, naper la nak plan semua ujung tahun. Like you know you car nak rosak in very near future, but you tunggu till its really rosak. Hmm.. typical human????

I had a good time with MyCigarBlog meet up last Friday. Aiz and Kaz did a review on it here, here and here for pix. We had a great time discussing the most brilliant idea, pop up by Sharizal. Check out MyCigarBlog for more info.

Sabtu malam lepas, pergi reunion dinner for ex-UMBC/Sime bank staff. Happening giler la jugak that nite. Jumpa ramai ex-staff. Ramai yang terkejut jumpa aku esp. Maklumlah... dulu lebih kurang cam (..) ajer.. now days dah cam nih (....). Jangan pikir lain aah. The best part, menang lucky draw. Dapat ler kipas angin 12inch satu. Boleh la.. bak kate Shawal, balik modal. Hheheheheh. Yang tak menang tu, tak per. Anyway, wishing all ex-UMBC/Sime a wonderfull year ahead. Ade gathering lagik, sila sila ler kasi tau.

Tonite, there will be Palm product launching. Details can be found at PalmX web site. Buat di Planet Hollywood. Thinking of going there by monorail since it will be quite jam pack sebab ade road block tonight. So, to all geng PDA, meh la turun. Ade lucky draw woo. So, be there early to avoid traffic jems.

Our nothern part of the country is experiencing a heavy downpour lately. Cuaca nampaknya dah berubah sejak kebelakangan nih. Used to be Kelantan and Terengganu hujan lebat towards end of the year. Tapi sekarang, Penang, Kedah, Perak and Perlis pulak yang banjir. Still remember when I was in Penang, we used to mandi banjir everytime hujan turun. It was really fun. Me and few other would have this activity of catching live lipan which floats around. We used to compete to see who gets the most. Luckily, nobody kene sengat. Beside lipan, water snakes pun jadi sasaran. My friend lagi giler, tangkap kala jengking (scorpion). And then, we put it in a small aquarium. Mix them together and see the creature fighting. Those days... :)

Signing of, got proposal and presentation to prepare. And my client is screaming for me to come over and help them. Arghhhh... udah la tu......

-- Sound of Matchbox Twenty - Unwell.

Semalam dok bz menginstall PC balik. Reformat HDD and reinstall everything back. Upgrade new RAM. Nothing much to story yet. Malam nih cigar blogger meet up. Yeahhhhhh..

Nanti cerita. Banyak mende nak buat.

Huh.. mau 6 hari tak bercerita. Makin selow ajer hehehehhe.. Bukan aper. Rite now dok membz kan diri sedikit.
Been assigned to set up test lab on the office for security testing. At time being, I'm still preparing the machines for the lab before starting to set it up.

Last weekend was quite bored. Fatin came over. As usual nak pergi shopping. The only thing makes me happy was I got my cigar. Couple of Monte Cristo, and H Upmann. Met with Kaz and trade with him some cigars. Got myself Zino and Private Stock cigar. Malam tu jugak pekena PS. Perrghhhh.. Giant.. phowerrrr siot.

Hari nih ada presentaition by Microsoft in the office. On SMS solution. Not short messaging system. System Management Servers. Boleh la..but still lack of features. I think CA Desktop Management or IBM Director is much better. Tengok la cam mane. Thursday nih nak propose kat client plaks.

Rasa keletihan jugak kebelakangan nih. Malam asyik flat out ajer. Sometimes, 10pm dah flat depan tv. Last nite sempat la jugak tahan nak tengok repeat F1. Cun ah Schumi, 1 point to go for World Championship. Tapi tak per, Abang Kimi dah dekat. Next year mesti Abang Kimi rules punya. :)

Orait.. going for presentation. See ya all some other time.

Been few days tak blogging. Nak kata BZ, tak la jugak. Cuma kepala tak berapa betul sket. Went to Perlis last Friday. The trip was fun. Really had a good time kat Maktab lama. And few suprises seeing the current juniors. Overall, the SPKG we had was the best so far. More details can be found here.

For the past few weeks, ada cerita kampeni scam di KL nih. Claimed to be MSC brainchild bla bla bla. Ramai bloggers dok follow up mende nih. Among them are Jeff Ooi and Johan. Kelakar jugak tengok ade la umat sanggup nak menipu nih. Hallo brader... orang tau lar lu sapa. Toksah nak klentong lar. Malaysia nih bukan besar mane pun, everybody knows everybody. 6 degrees of separation?????

Finally managed to get Suara Merdeka album. After a long wait. Lama giler cari since the launching event at Shangri-La Putrajaya by Pak Lah. Particularly hooked up with lagu Putera Puteri, sang by a number of singers such as Gee, Camelia, Aris, Hattan, and others. Very touchy.... :P

Hari nih ade 2 meeting. Petang karang melepak kat K&U. Budak Anseri from nothern region turun sei. Jum pergi.

-- Sound of Putera Puteri

As of today, I'm not feeling very well. Rasa macam nak demam. Tapi ntah ler. Tengah risau jugak nih sebab dah almost 9 month tak kene demam lagik. Kalau dah kene parah seh.. mau seminggu la jugak terbaring kat umah nanti. Jenis demam setahun sekali. Sabor ajer laa

Tengah hari tadi pegi Pantai Hospital, temankan member untuk derma darah. Ingat nak derma sekalik, tetiba doc tak kasik coz I got flu. Yeah, btol gaks. Kalau flu nih sure ade demam, so kensel la nak derma. Later la kot. Last time was bulan 5 hari tuh. Used to be ritual jugak donate blood nih. Masa di U dulu almost 3-4 kali setahun la jugak. Cuma few years nih kurang kesempatan. Maybe some other time.

Better make my move now. Ada Anseri meeting. Chow!

-- Sound of Terima Kasih by Jamrud.

I was back in KL on Friday nite. 14 hours driving from KB. Guna jalan pantai. It was the best driving experience I had in my life. The journey was wonderful. Sempat stop few places, pekena sotong goreng fresh. Sedap giler. Enjoy habih aah driving. Pueh hati. Car performing well, tak ade probs. Really look forward for next trip to Terengganu. Man ajak pi lepak Redang/Perhentian pulak some times next year. Tengok lar cam mane.

Dua hari dah kene sakit tekak. Malam tadik getting worse, tak leh nak nafas dan telan air liur. Few times gaks ler kene bangun and adjust breathing. Godek godek peti sejuk, terjumpa strepsils. Tidur sambil isap strepsils. Bangun kul 6 rasa semacam ajer tekak. Lega la sikit.

Ujung minggu ni pergi Perlis pulak. Yeah.. balik pegi Maktab. Almost every year this event is organized, and I really look forward for this. Tadi masa lunch, meet up with organizing commitee for OIC International Conference. Well, this is not the big main event committee, but a seperate conference held prior to the main event. Finally I agreed to join them as one of the organizing committee. The event will be held from 13 till 14 October 2003 at PWTC. Sape sape interested, check out the news nanti on kat www.ansara.org.my


-- Sound of Foolin' by Def Leppard

Yeah..after almost 8 hours of driving, finally sampai kat KB. Currently blogged from a cybercafe in KB town. The trip was pleasent. Myself and Man sempat lagi lepak tepi pantai kat Kijal after lunch. Then off to KT for a short tour. Try to look for Air Buah gelas besar, just to see it closed.

Tonite nak rest. Esok banyak mende nak buat. Will blog more later.

-- Woooo beshnyer anginnnnn (on the way to KT).

Nale dah selamat nikah dan bersanding. Lepas sorang member aku. Meriah gaks majlis. Aku jadik video and camera man. Terkezut punya, coz ade miscommunication of arrangement. Tak per la asalkan semua dah settle dah ler.

Tak lupa jugak Selamat Pengantin Baru buat Lya (BBS), Yan (Anseri), Azman Yusof (ISK9396), Kamal Kamarudin (ISK9396), Nash (Anseri) dan jugak rakan rakan lain yg tak sempat nak pergi kenduri korang. Moga kekal ke anak cucu.

Esok aku cuti till next week. Gie KB plak. Tak sabor la pulak rasa nak pergi. Lama tak drive jauh nih. Hopes everything goes well for the next few days.

Bebudak mailing list Anseri dok bising cerita pasal wanita cantek di Malaysia. Ni semua gara-gara komen dalama paper Utusan . Kelakor la jugak. But, satu kenyataan yang aku tak nafikan. Memang ramai wanita cantik kat KL nih. Tak percaya? Duduk la kat Dome KLCC, order barang secawan dua kopi and just observe around for 1 - 2 hours. Memang pueh mata memandang. Kan? Personally, Malaysian beauty memang tak leh lawan lar.

Opismate aku sudah sambar ini gadget . Cun woo.. 5.0 megapixel. And only for RM1999 with casing and 32Mb Memory Stick. Arrgghh. Perlukah aku dapatkan satu? Jangan ler terjebak. Sekarang dalam kepala ade 1 gadget utama nak dapat kan - ini atau ini. Yang mana satu idaman kalbu?



Jumpa lagi minggu depan. :)

-- Sound off Better Man by Pearl Jam

Hari nih hari besar Nale. Tinggal baper jam lagik dia nak pakai title bujang/single nih. Pas nih, expired lar ko weii.. Kekkekekekeke

Maybe balik awal sikit. Pas pergi jumpa client, aku nak cabut balik utk pi Nale punya majlis akad nikah. Tengok la cam mane. Jangan client bantai aku suruh tunggu lama lama dah ler. Tak larat aah. Memacam ajer depa nih.

Semalam balik awal. Then ade member call ajak minum kat macha. Sambil sambil tuh, melayan beam Palm appz. Kewl gaks dia punya appz. Nanti aku nak check kot kot ade mende besh boleh download dari PalmGear. Lama tak menjenguk sana. Reminds me to create new 2004 holiday lists. Great to know a lot of ppl actually downloaded the Holiday lists even though its a simple MobileDB listing. Nazley did showed me an appz he developed. Simple jugak, maybe nak try ler lepas nih.

Saturday and Sunday will be packed for me. Nale sanding hari Sabtu, Nash hari Ahad. Minggu depan pergi Kelantan. Yeah.. first time nak drive pi sana. Hope everything goes well.

-- Wishing Selamat Pengantin Baru to Nale and Nash.

By the way, I think it is still not too late to wish Selamat Hari Kemerdekaan to our beloved country.
May the nation progress to a better future.

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!
Keranamu Malaysia.

Huh.. lama tak blogging. Bahyer nih. Ade karang terus tertinggal blog aku. Weekend quite long jugak. Tak ade ape menarik pun. Melepak kat Puchong ngan Nale, Man and Siput. Then on Sunday ade majlis tunang auntie aku. Wakilkan mak aku. Semalam pergi Shangri La Putrajaya. Cun wooo.. lawa giler tempat tuh. Ade pelancaran Suara Merdeka, koleksi lagu lagu patriotik. Anjuran Ansara and Prima Muzik. Ramai gak artist... Camelia, Nora, Gee, Roy.. etc.. Lagu sedap pulak tu. Balik dari event, kepala otak dah kene embed ngan lagu Putera Puteri. Leceh leceh..

Pagi tadi kasik presentation kat new prospect. Was a good one (puji sendiri lar, orang lain tak puji) coz aku dapat tackle few issues the prospect is having. Next week jumpa balik untuk futher discussion.

The best of the day - aku naik Monorel pegi BB masa lunch. Kewl jugak. Nice view all the ride. Tapi dia punya train tak berapa smooth sangat. Suspension kurenggggg.. Mintak la perbetulkan sikit. Bit bumpy. Opismate suh aku kasik rating out of 5, aku kasik 3.5 ajer.

Esok training (lagik!!!) kat TPM. Leh gie ngacau Siput masa lunch. Kekkeke. Cantek lar tu. Jumaat nih Nale nikah. Selamat la sorang kawan baik aku. Kawin gak yer engko, Nale. Julia tuh ko jaga elok elok. Baik orangnyer. Ko plak, jgn wat perangai bujang dah kawin nih. Kekkekeke

Buhbyeee..

-- Putera Puteri

Pagi ni pergi training (lagi sekali, kastemer siap komplen perhal training sokmo) kat IBM. Sambungan dari training lalu on WebSphere Everyplace Access - WEA. This time it was more like a refreshing course ajer. Nothing much. Lab semua boring. Done all 6 labs by 3PM. Then, the funny part instructure kene balik dulu. Hehhee. First time training instructor balik dulu. Selalu student cabut first. Dia ade hal kot. Kene balik US maybe. Lepas training, cabut balik opis. Bateri PDA almost zero dah. Bahayer, banyak mende update sepanjang weekend. Better hotsync cepat cepat.

Terbaca sesuatu kat http://shryh.blogspot.com/. Rasa sedih jugak mengenangkan mende nih terjadi. Almost 46 tahun (6 hari lagik)kita dok cerita pasal merdeka, tapi kejadian macam ni masih berlaku. Sebagai rakyat berbilang bangsa, kene la sama sama tolong. Salah dan silap memang perkara biasa. Tapi budi bicara melambangkan budaya.
Harap harap tak berlaku lagi. Pihak-pihak berkenaan, mintaklah kejadian nih tak berulang kembali.

Semalam, pergi amik barang rumah Nale. Next Sunday dia nak masuk rumah baru. Dekat rumah Syaiton, selang 2 blok ajer. Aku pun dok tengok kot kot ade unit kosong. Angan angan nak beli. But tak sure lagik. Ada rezeki, aku sambar ajer la. Banyak comitment wooo.. :P.

Hari kebangsaan dah dekat. To all, selamat hari Merdeka. Moga negara kita aman dan makmur selamanya.

-- Untukmu, Malaysia ku tercinta :)

Hari nih, ntah aper pasal aku dah reject satu offer untuk keje sama MNC kampeni.
Mamat yg call tuh, quite high la jugak position dia. Tapi, memandangkan kampeni nih aku tau dia punya cerita dalam. So, aku reject awal awal.

Say la what ever, giler ker reject offer. Memang ler gaji semua orang nak besar. Keje la nih pun gaji ala kadar ajer. But, satisfaction for me penting gaks. Kalau keje sampai tak dak life payah gaks. Korang mau ker? Life korang with ur family, with ur friends... Kampeni kalau dah tak suka kat kita, anytime dia boleh terminate. Kat sape kita nak mintak tolong? Family or kawan kawan gaks. Ape jadik ngan kampeni yg kasik memacam BIG things, promised masa before masuk keje?

Sekarang aku dah boleh control timing aku. Tadik bincang sama BDM aku, keje aku sekarang tak macam dulu la sangat. Dah besa dah keje non stop. Tido opis lar, outstation la. Dah la merasa tu semua. Maybe tak seberapa, but aku dah rasa. Masuk project site utk mula implementation hari Jumaat, hari Isnin baru keluar balik. Non stop. Pengalaman orang lain sure lagi hebat dari aku kan?

Tapi all for what? Duit? Manjang problematic. Life? Up and down gaks. Last last komplen balik.
Sekarang dah settle down. Aku tau, masuk keje 8 - 6. Weekend with family and friends.
Satu lagik, computer world. Kekadang member tanya gak aku. Pasal ko tak pasang PC kat umah? Or internet kat umah. Bagi aku, korang keje dari pagi sampai petang mengadap PC, mengadap internet. Tak cukup ker? 8 - 12 jam tuh. Tak cukup ker? Life nih kan banyak lagik mende. Tak kan ler ngadap monitor and net yg tak bernyawa nih.

Wokey lar.. maleh nak tulis panjang. Nanti sambung lagik. BTW, sape tau hah, lagi lagu Astro punya advert baru tuh sape yg compose? Ade chance download ker? Sape sape tau sila ler post kat comment aku. Thanks.

Phew, lama gak tak blog nih. BZ seii.. memacam kene buat. Padan muka aku. Active sangat, tu ler jadik nyer. Pagi tadi dalam Hitz.FM aku dengar, kat Bosnia, blonde jokes dah diharamkan. Heh, ramai sangat la blonde kat sana. Ye lar, tu kan dan natural kaler rambut. Kalau kat tempat lain, blonde = bimbo (ye ker?). Sorry aah.. sape sape terasa. But, aku believe, kaler rambut tak ade kene mengena dengan cerdik pandai seseorang.

SPKG dah dekat. Bebudak Anseri tengah pulun dok prepare utk trip kali nih. Harap harap ramai ler pergi. Aku pun dok pulun nak make sure web site Anseri baru siap. Letih gaks dok transfer news/data to the new site. Tengok la, by weekend nih siap lar kot semua. Harap harap laarrr..

Last Sunday, aku tolong uncle aku repair PC dia. Ingat kene Blaster virus. Simptom dah ada, bila check tak ada pulak. Pelik. Tapi, tengok M$ punya site, suruh do Windows Update. Nak update cam mane? Tengah connect to Internet, the machine tetiba initiate shutdown. Buat la cam mane pun, asyik nak shutdown ajer. Aku donload lar few Anti Virus tool to remove the stupid blaster nih, tak ade pulak yang jumpa. Pelik. Semalam, CEO aku pun kene. Dah lagi satu. Pening sei, kekadang rasa tension tengok banyak virus nih. Nyusahkan orang. Tak ade keje ka depa yg buat virus nih. Tau la masa depa tu banyak sangat, ingat kita nih banyak masa cam depa ka? Hampeh sungguh X(.

Got to go. Nak pergi tempat client. Da....
