Repost :The brave mum of abang

 Repost from Facebook post by a lof of people. Credit to originator of this story.


Why I repost? Somehow, this story remind me of Allahyarham Anas.  Al-Fatihah to Anas.

Cerita benar yang kawan saya baru fowardkan.......sungguh terharu membaca artikel ini.
The brave mum of abang!
  
Mak pandang jenazah abang yang terbaring kaku. Walaupun muka sembap, perut membusung, namun mak nampak ketenangan pada wajah abang.

Mak ambil pisau. Mak potong baju-T yang tersarung pada tubuh abang, baju terkahir yang abang pakai, Mak terpaksa potong kerana kerana baju itu tidak muat untuk melalui perut abang yang 'buncit'.

Tapi, mak akan simpan baju itu. Mak tak cuci, sesekali boleh mak cium baju itu, sekadar pengubat rindu di hati. Kemudian abah kendong tubuh abang ke pangkin yang telah disediakan. Lalu abah dan mak mendikan jenazah abang. Hanya kami berdua. Mak tak mahu orang lain. Biar tangan abah dan mak yang menjiruskanair buat kali terakhir pada tubuh kecil abang.

Mak nampak anak mata abah, berkaca-kaca, setitis dua air matanya tumpah, mengalir di pipi, tapi cepat-cepat abah sapu dengan lengan sasanya.

"Bang, jangan menangis. Kita selesaikan hingga ke titisan terkahir," begitulah kata mak pada abah.

Setelah abang dimandikan, mak bantu abah kapankan jenazah abang. Pun hanya kami berdua juga. biar tangan kami saja yang memakai dan membalutkan kain terakhir pada tubuh abang.

"Kakak, jangan menangis. tak baik buat abang macam tu!"

Itu pesan mak semasa kakak-kakak mahu mengucup dahi abang buat kali terakhir. Abah pula selepas mengucup dahi abang, cepat-cepat abah menjauh memalingkan muka.

Mak nampak air mata abah berjuntaian membasahi pipi. Dan buat kali terakhir itu juga, mak usap dahi abang. Mak senyum, lantas kucup dahi abang.

Mak bisikkan: "Abang tunggu mak di syurga ya!"

Akhirnya, wajah abang 'ditutup'. Kami sembahyangkan abang buat kali terakhir. Ramai betul jemaah yang turut serta. Setelah itu, kami bawa abang ke tanah perkuburan.

Abah masuk ke dalam liang lahad untuk menyambut jenazah abang. Alhamdulillah, semua kerja dipermudahkan. Abang sudah selamat di sana.

Bertubi-tubi mak terima ucapan takziah daripada tetamu yang datang. Abang nak tahu, ada satu soalan yang mereka tanyakan pada mak.

Soalan itu asyik terngiang-ngiang di telinga mak. Tanya mereka: "Kakak uruskan jenazah anak kandung sendiri, tapi setitis air mata tak jatuh ke pipi? Kenapa kakak tidak menangis?" Itulah soalan mereka.

Mereka hairan kenapa mak tidak menangis, sebaliknya bibir mak tidak lekang dengan senyuman. Kenapa mak masih mampu tersenyum di saat memangku sekujur tubuh yang pernah berada dalam rahim mak dulu?

Petang itu, mak duduk di satu sudut di ruang tamu rumah. Mak terfikir tentang soalan mereka itu. Mak tak tahu nak jawab macam mana. Kemudian, mak nampak sebuah diari di atas para di sudut ruang tamu.

Lantas mak capai diari kecil itu. Di dalamnya tercatat peristiwa yang berlaku sepanjang empat tahun dua bulan mak membesarkan abang.

Mak selak helaian demi helaian paparan kertas dalam diari yang sedikit usang itu. Aduh! Banyak sungguh memori yang tercatat di dalamnya.

Membacanya bagaikan meruntun jiwa mak kembali mengenangkan perjalanan derita abang sejak lahir hingga menghembuskan nafas terakhir.

Mata mak terpaku pada catatan peristiwa lebih kurang tiga bulan sebelum abang pergi. Mak rasa, di sinilah terkandung jawapan yang mak cari-cari.

Jawapan untuk soalan yang mereka tanya kenapa mak tidak menangis? Mak akan bacakan sedikit rentetan diari ini supaya mereka tahu kenapa mak tidak menangis, sayang.

Januari 2011-  Perut abang semakin membusung kerana hati membengkak. kata doktor, semua organ dalaman abang sudah rosak,sudah 'reput'. Tak boleh diselamatkan lagi. Tidak mengapa. Hati mak berkata, cukuplah! Tidak akan ada lagi pembedahan untuk abang.


26 Februari 2011-  Hari ini ulang tahun ke-4 abang. Dua hari sebelum itu, mak tanya, abang nak kek apa? Abang jawab, nak kek lori sampah!

Hah Hah.. Tergelak mak.Abang suka sangat melihat lori sampah yang lalu setiap pagi depan rumah. Sebab itu abang nak kek bentuk lori sampah,

Puas mak dan abah melilau sekitar Kuala Lumpur, tapi tak jumpa kek macam tu. Tak ada yang sanggup buat kek macam yang abang minta.

Mak kecewa! Selama ini, mak tunaikan apa saja permintaan abang, tapi kali ini mak gagal. Mak belikan kek coklat strawberi sebagai pengganti.

Dengan perut membusung, dada berombak kerana sukar bernafas, abang masih tersenyum dan nampak ceria melayan rakan-rakan yang datang, sama-sama menyanyikan lagu hari jadi abang. Dan ketika itu, hati mak sudah terdetik, mungkin ini hari jadi abang yang terakhir.


7 Mac 2011-  Keadaan abang makin kritikal. Perut abang semakin besar. Abang tak mampu nak bergerak, lebih banyak terbaring dan asyik sesak nafas. Mak tak tahan lihat keadaan abang.

Mak bawa abang ke IJN, rumah 'kedua' abang sepanjang tempoh hayat abang. Kata doktor, tiada apa yang boleh dilakukan lagi.

Abang hanya menanti waktu. mak angguk perlahan. Mak redha. Dalam hati mak juga sudah berkata, masa abang tidak lama lagi.

Para ibu di wad tersebut asyik bertanya pada mak, macam mana dengan abang? Mak jawab: "InsyaAllah, abang akan sihat!"

Mak terpaksa cakap begitu pada mereka, sebab mak tak mahumereka semua lemah semangat jika mereka tahu abang sudah tiada harapan lagi.

Mereka pun sama, masing-masing bertarung dengan ujian apabila anak yang dikasihi ditimpa penyakit. jadi biarlah jawapan yang mak beri itu kedengaran manis pada telinga mereka. Pahitnya, biarlah mak sendiri telan.


13 Mac 2011- Hari Ahad. Mak pinta kebenaran doktor untuk bawa abang pulang kerumah . Doktor izinkan. Biarlah abang habiskan waktu-waktu terakhir bersama keluarga. Dan di saat-saat akhir ini, mak mahu tunaikan apa saja permintaan abang.

Di rumah, setiap hari mak akan tanya: "Abang nak apa harini?"

Mak masih ingat pada suatu pagi, abang menjawab: "Mak, abang nak naik kereta bomba!"

Mak termenung dengar permintaan abang. Bila abah pulang ke rumah, terus mak ajak abah keluar. Abah tanya pergi mana? Mak jawab: "Balai bomba!"

Sampai di situ, mak minta izin pegawai bomba. Mak kata, abang teringin nak merasa naik ke dalam trak bomba. Pegawai itu garu-garu kepala, kemudiannya menggeleng-gelengkan kepala.

Belum sempat pegawai bomba itu menjawab, lantas mak tarik baju abang ke paras dada. Separuh berbisik, mak beritahu pegawai itu: "Encik, ini anak bongsu saya dan hanya menanti masa untuk 'pergi'! Benarkan saya tunaikan impian terakhirnya ini!"

Bila lihat perut abang yang buncit dan dada dipenuhi kesan parut dan jahitan, pegawai itu tak tunggu lama. Terus diacapainya kunci, dibuka pintu salah satu trak bomba itu.

Dia dukung abang, letakkan ke atas tempat duduk bahagian pemandu. Abang nampak gembiru sangat biarpun cuma 15 minit abang di dalam trak itu. Abang tak perasan, mak palingkan muka lima saat. Sekadar mahu mengelap titisan air mata yang mula bertakung.

Hari lain, mak tanya lagi: "Abang nak apa?"

Abang jawab: "Abang nak naik lori sampah!"

Mak dukung abang, tunggu depan rumah. Bila lori sampah lalu pagi itu menjalankan rutinnya mengutip sampah, Mak tahan lori itu.

"Encik, anak saya teringin naik lori ni. Boleh izinkan sebentar?"

Pekerja itu tertawa mendengar kata-kata mak. Kemudian, mak angkat baju abang dan beritahu perkara sama. Berubah mimik wajah mereka.

Segera mereka angkat abang, letakkan di tempat duduk pemandu. Ada antara pekerja itu yang memalingkan muka, tak sangup lihat abang lama-lama. Sedih agaknya.

Begitulah seterusnya. Setiap hari, mak akan tanya pertanyaan yang sama. Abang kalau nak tengok gajah, mak bawa abang pergi zoo. Walaupun abang tak larat jalan, tak apa. Mak dan abah tidak kisah, kami silih berganti dukung abang.

Abang kata nak tengok burung, mak bawa ke taman burung. Abang kata nak main permainan robot, mak bawa ke kompleks beli-belah yang ada permainan seperti itu. Ke mana saja abang nak peri,semuanya mak tunaikan!

Setiap hari juga mak tanya abang nak makan apa. Macam-macam  abang teringin nak makan. Martabak, nasi paprik, milo ais, cendol, air tebu, air bandung, rojak dan macam-macam lagi, semuanya mak tunaikanwalaupun makanan itu abang pinta pada pukul 3.00 pagi!

Apa saja yang teringin oleh tekak abang, semua mak cari walaupun abang sekadar menjamahnya sesudu dua. Apa saja abang pinta, kami tunaikan.

Mak tahu, mak faham, masa abang bersama mak dan abah semakin suntuk!

27 Mac 2011-  Abang semakin kritikal! Nak bercakap pun terlalu lemah, apatah lagi untuk bergerak. Mata kuyu, hanya terbaringsambil memeluk Aina, anak patung kesayangan abang. Mak ajak abah bawa abang ke hospital.

"Kali ini kita bawa abang ke IJN, tapi kita mungkin akan keluar dengan tubuh abang yang sudah tidak bernafas!"

Itu kata-kata mak pada abah sebelum bertolak ke IJN. Mak mahu abah bersedia dan redha jika apa-apa berlaku. Sampai di IJN, abang terus ditempatkan di wad khas untuk pesakit kritikal.


5 April 2011-  Mak telefon sekolah asrama kakak yang sulung di Seremban. Mak minta pelepasan daripada cikgu untuk benarkan kakak pulang.

"Adik tenat. Saya mahu kakak-kakaknya berada di sampingnya pada saat terakhir!"

Itu kata-kata mak pada cikgu dan akak diizinkan pulang pada hari ini. Kemudian, Dr. Adura. , doktor yang sinonim merawat abang datang melawat.

Mak memang rajin bercerita dengan Dr. Adura. Kebetulan mak ceritakan yang mak terkilantak dapat tunaikan permintaan abang mahukan kek berbentuk lori sampah.

7 April 2011-  Pagi ini Dr. Adura datang melawat abang. Kemudian Dr. Adura beritahu ada surprise untuk abang tengah hari ini.

Rupa-rupanya, tengah hari itu datang tetamu yang juga rakan-rakan alam maya Dr. Adura membawa kek lori yang abang mahukan sebelum ini.

Ada dua kek mereka bawa. Mak tak sanka, Dr Adura tulis di dalam blognya kisah abang dan ramai yang mahu menyediakan kek yang abang pinta.

Sekali lagi, para tetamu bersama jururawat dan doktor menyanyikan lagu selamat ulang tahun untuk abang. Tapi abang kurang ceria, wajah abang tampak letih dan nafas abang turun naik.


8 April 2011-  Tengah hari ini, masih ada lagi tetamu datang membawa kek berbentuk lori warna pink untuk abang. Tapi abang sekadar lemah. Abang sekadar terbaringmerenung kek itu.

Malam itu, semasa jururawat mengambil tekanan darah abang, bacaanya meningkat naik. Tapi hati mak dapat rasakan abang sekadar mahu meredakan keresahan hati mak. Malam itu, hanya mak berdua dengan abang di dalam bilik.

Mak pandang sayu wajah abang yang semakin lesu dan pucat. Mak duduk di sebelah abang, mak peluk dan usap rambut abang. Mak menangis teresak-esak bagai anak kecil.

Dalam tangis itu, mak katakan pada abang: "Mak tahu abang nak senangkan hati mak. Abang tak perlu buat macam tu. Mak tahu abang nak pergi.

"Jangan tahan-tahan abang. Pergilah. Mak sudah sedia. Mak redha segalanya. Mak puas dapat sempurnakan apa saja hajat yang abang pinta. Mak juga bangga kerana Allah hadirkan abang dalam hidup mak walaupun seketika!"

Abang hanya diam, memandang mak dengan pandangan lesu. Dan ketika itu mak menangis sepuas-puasnya. Dan mak berjanji tidak akan menangis lagi selepas itu! Ya, mak tidak akan menangis lagi biarpun abang sudah tiada lagi di dunia



9 April 2011-  Pagi itu mak pesan pada abah agar bawa semua anak-anak datang ke hospital. Masa abang dah dekat sangat. Mak lihat abang dah kritikal. Wajah abang sudah tampak biru, lebam! Dada berombak, tercungap-cungap menarik nafas.

Abang dah tak mampu bercakap lagi sejak malam tadi. Makan minum pun tak mahu. Pakul 8.00 pagi, abah dan kakak sampai.

Mak suruh kak long bacakan Yaasin di sebelah abang. Mak suruh abah baca juga, tapi bacaan abah tersekat-sekat kerana cuba menahan tangisnya.

Pukul 3.00 petang, abang makin lesu. Lantas mak ajak abang keluar berjalan-jalan.

"Abang, nak tengok matahari tak? Jom kita turun kantin minum sambil tengok matahari!"

Abang hanya mengangguk lemah. Mak dukung abang dan kita satu keluarga turun ke kantin. Abang mahu minum air coklat. Tapi abang hanya minum seteguk. Kemudian, abang lentukkan kepala pada bahu mak.

"Abang, tu tengok kat luar tu? nampak taj sinar matahari tu? Cantikkan?"

Mak tunjuk pada abang sinar matahari yang kelihatan di celah-celah rintik hujan yang turun waktu itu.

Abang angkat kepala melihat ke arah matahari itu. kemudian, abang menguap.

"Abang ngantuk!" Itu kata abang dan kemudian abang terlentuk semula pada bahu mak.

Tiba-tiba jantung mak berdegup kencang.

"Bang, jom naik. Abang nak 'tidur'! Mak terus ajak abah dan kakak naik semula ke wad walaupun mereka belum sempat jamah makanan di atas meja."

Mak tahu, masa abang sudah hampir tiba!

Sampai di wad, mak baringkan abang atas katil. Dan abang terus merintih dalam nada yang lemah: "Makkk..sakit perut..!"

Dan abang terus memanggil: "Makkkkk!". Suara abang perlahan dan amat sayu bunyinya. Lantas mak letak tapak tangan mak atas dahi abang.

"Abang, hari ini, waktu ini, mak redhakan abang pergi. Mak halalkan segala makan minum abang. Mak halalkan air susu mak untuk abang. Pergilah abang. Mak izinkan abang pergi!"

Mak ucapkan kata-kata itu sambil merenung jauh ke dalammata abang yang semakin kuyu. Saat abang sedang nazak itu, mak panggil kakak-kakak agar mengucup abang selagi abang masih bernafas. Mereka kucup pipi abang bertalu-talu dan mula meraung dan menangis.

"Kakak! kalau kamu semua nak menangis, keluar dari bilik ini. Mak tak mahu abang dengar kamu menangis! Jangan seksa abang dengan tangisan kamu!"

Mak marah mereka buat begitu pada abang. Mak tak mahu abang lihat kami menangisi pemergian abang. Mak tahu, abang akan jadi lebih sedih dan berat hati untuk pergi bila melihat kami menangis di saat akhir sakaratulmaut menjemput abang.

Mak tak mahu tambahkan lagi kesedihan abang untuk meninggalkan kami. Abah pula hanya berdiri di penjuru bilik, meraup wajah menahan suara tangisannya.

Jururawat yang ada dalam bilik juga menangis, mak suruh jururawat keluar dan tutup tirai bilik itu. Mak tak mahu orang luar lihat. Mak tak mahu ada orang menangis di saat  abang akan pergi. Setitis dua mengalir juga air mata mak. Tapi mak masih mampu tersenyum.

"Pergilah abang. Mak izinkan. Mak izinkan.. pergilah..!" Dan perlahan-lahan mata abang yang layu tertutup rapat, genggaman tangan abang pada jari mak semakin lemah dan akhirnya terlepas...

Pukul 3.50 petang, akhirnya abang meninggalkan dunia fana ini. Innalillah... Mak kucup dahi abang. Mak bisikkan di telinga abang: "Tenanglah abang di sana. Suatu hari nanti, mak juga pasti akan turuti jejak abang. Abang... tunggu mak di sana ya! Di syurga!"
Abang, sekarang mak dah dapat jawapanyya. Mengapa mak tidak menangis?

Pertama, abang telah di takdirkan menjadi ahli syurga yang akan membantu mak di sana nanti.

Kedua, apa saja keinginan abang semasa hayat abang telah mak tunaikan. Tiada lagi rasa terkilan di hati mak.

Ketiga, segala hutang sebagai seorang ibu telah mak langsaikan semasa hayat abang. Mak telah sunatkan dan buat akikah untuk abang.

Keempat, mak telah menjalankan tanggungjawab sepenuhnya, sentiasa berada di sisi abang dan menggembirakan abang setiap saat dan waktu.

Kelima, mak rasa istimewa dipilih Allah untuk mendapat anak seperti abang. Mak jadi 'kaya' dengan kehadiran abang. Kaya kesabaran, kaya tawadhuk, kaya keredhaan , kaya keimanan, kaya kawan, kaya ilmu, dan kaya pengetahuan.

Mak telah beri segalan-galanya melebihi 100% untuk abang. Mak telah beri yang terbaik dan mak telah berusaha hingga ke garisan penamat. Sebab itu mak tak perlu menangis lagi.

Abang.. biarpun kini hidup mak dan abah terasa sunyi dan kosong tanpa abang ta[i... mak akan sentiasa tersenyum mengenangkan saat-saat terindah kehadiran abang dalam hidup kami biarpun cuma sebentar.
Abang dalam kisah ini adalah adik Iqbal Fahreen Hamdan, anak bongsu daripada lima beradik. Abang masuk hospital seawal usia dua minggu akibat menghidapi lima jenis kompilasi jantung termasuklah kekurangan injap, jantung berlubang dan saluran sempit. Abang telah menjalani pelbagai siri pembedahan seawal usia dua bulan dan ada antara pembedahan seawal usai dua bulan dan ada antara pembedahannya gagal, malah abang pernah disahkan 'mati' apabila jantungnya berhenti berdenyut. Walaupun pada awalnya doktor mengjangkakan hayat abang tidka lama selepas lahir ke dunia, namun ternyata anak kecil ini mampu bertahan sehingga usia empat  tahun untuk meninggalkan kenangan terindah dalam hidup Jamilah (ibu) dan Hamdan (bapa).

Bos,arini saye buat macam2 keje..

Sometimes I just wonder..

Why some people like to tell the world what he/she is doing

Example:

"Mr X, I've done this today"

"Last time arr, I've applied this technology and the gain obtained was xxxx bopd" ß and you've heard this story thousand times

"Boss, today, I've done this, this and this"

Worst..

"Sir, I've done those xxx jobs" ß where the xxx jobs were executed by someone else.


 

Is it the right working attitude? I don't know, you be the judge. But for me, if you smell the job is yours just do it. If you are not being rewarded now, in future you may reap the benefit. As simple as that.

Opportunist (2)

Nah, I thought I'm already OK.

Forgive n forget.

Somehow, this week, I kinda mess up again.

I believe I'm in a right position to comment, yell, blab, whatever..considering that:

I suppose to enjoy my carefree training week

But somehow or rather, I need to be in 2 places at the same time? Duh.

Situation:

Somebody at the office request for whole lot of information that another person at the office should attain to that

C'mon la. I'm in training kot, and u r in d office with access to all the info. Please help la.

Then, there's lot of miscommunication. Argh. If the miscommunication wont create disaster, then it's OK. But, this whole thing was really a mess!

And, please, if you think you are already good, please and please, don't back stab others.

Your work is already easy, and you don't have to crack your head to solve'em.

The fuller before you already done a lot. And you only need to continue, not make a new one pun.

And to blame the handover process? Haih, when I joined this team, no one direct me or shove me with the information I need. Walk, talk, find on my own.

Fuh, and what I hate most. U don't even respond to any of the discussion emails, but suddenly u have the urge to call and ask about the technical paper submission? Wow, this is just something. U don't care on how/who to submit the form, never follow up, never even read the paper. Then when it's time to submit the paper, out of the blue, u become concern?

Crap!.

Tuesday, July 05, 2011

Opportunist

opportunist r  everywhere!

i was quite suprised when somebody who doesnt involve in one of our job suddenly request to be included as a co-writer inside our technical paper.

wow.now i really see the office politic.seeing is really believing.

unfair, really unfair especially when i recall the struggle that i had to face in convincing d authority to make this thing realized.

somehow, as Mama told me, just ignore about this n dont really think about it.  i was very pissed off at that point of time, n i blurted all to Mama.

fuh.  nasib baik ada org lain yang can bring me back to d straight line. call dari jauh telah menyejukkan hati, Alhamdulillah.

Ini pelik

Tiba-tiba call dan membebel

Tapi ada betulnya

Sudah beberapa bulan

Tapi masih belum faham

Apa yang perlu dibuat

Data berlambak-lambak

Tapi tidak menang tangan

Untuk buat analisis

Atau prokrastinasi saja

Terima kasih kerana menyedarkan saya

Terima kasih kamu.

Isu Sosial Yo!

Utusan Malaysia Online - Dalam Negeri


LPPKN pandang serius kahwin lewat


KUCHING 23 Mei – Lembaga Penduduk dan Pembangunan Keluarga Negara (LPPKN) memandang serius isu sosial yang berkaitan dengan trend melewatkan perkahwinan, terutama di kalangan wanita berpendidikan tinggi.


Timbalan Ketua Pengarah (Dasar) Lembaga Penduduk dan Pembangunan Keluarga Negara (LPPKN) Dr. Anjli Doshi Gandhi berkata, fenomena itu boleh membawa implikasi kepada institusi kekeluargaan.


Beliau berkata, data terkini menunjukkan 30 peratus wanita di antara umur 25 dan 29 tahun belum berkahwin berbanding 25 peratus untuk lelaki di antara umur 30 dan 34 tahun yang masih bujang.


“Kami memberi perhatian serius trend perkahwinan yang semakin di lewatkan, khasnya di kalangan wanita yang memberi alasan bahawa mereka tidak ada calon yang sesuai,” katanya pada taklimat dan bual bicara Dasar Keluarga Negara (DKN) peringkat negeri Sarawak, yang di hadiri Menteri di Pejabat Ketua Menteri Datin Fatimah Abdullah di sini hari ini.


Beliau berkata, bagi lelaki pula, keadaan kewangan yang belum stabil adalah antara faktor yang menyebabkan lelaki dalam lingkungan umur awal 30-an belum berkahwin.


Sementara itu, Fatimah dalam ucapannya berkata satu pertiga dari 27.5 juta penduduk di negara ini terdiri daripada mereka yang berumur 15 tahun ke bawah dan akan memasuki usia perkahwinan menjelang 2020.


Beliau berkata, satu dasar yang komprehensif amat diperlukan dalam menghadapi cabaran pembangunan keluarga kerana golongan itu akan memberi kesan kepada penambahan isi rumah yang berlipat kali ganda dari jumlah sekitar 6.3 juta yang ada sekarang. – BERNAMA

The Saga Begins

What do you think this bunch of people doing amidst this housing area?
With their backpacks some more?


Descending the hill..
Everyone looks very happy
In another word, RELIEF !

Haih. Where to start eh?
I need to write review for this activity, but still blank.

Luckily I'm not a writer or reporter
Else, definitely I'll always miss my dateline (read : deadline)

Happily ever after

Weddings are all around the corner this few months. Tried my best to commit/attend the weddings. Few weddings had to be missed most probably since the weddings are not within reach / far from KL Selangor/ I had family matters to attend.

Sorry dear friends.

All d best and happily ever after yo!

Talking about marriage, a lil while, a friend who'll b getting married soon shared about her preparation:

She: Lucky, both of us (fiancée) come from the same states. Too many things need to be settle on time, and the offices are only open during weekdays.

She: Can u suggest another hantaran (gift) since I have another empty tray for the gift?

Me: Gadget?

She:Mahal

Me: Books?

She: He doesn't read books.

Me: BORING!. Ok, what I,f instead of gifts, just exchanged some money. u can invest the money elsewhere.

She: Sigh. If it's that easy. I don't think our parents will buy in with that idea. What'll other think if there's no hantaran during our wedding?

Me : Ok2. No more suggestion.

Hmm. weddings are meant to please everyone right?

Sabar-ina

Lately I'm becoming more sarcastic and fierce

Especially to my team mates

Huu


 

I was asking myself yesterday, what make me become like this?

hot weather?

Hurm, most likely due to too many work-related things that I need to concentrate

Due to the current workload, I think I'm losing my technical touch

Right now, the analyses done are not detail enough

I'm starting to neglect the trainee engineer

Procrastination is becoming worse

And some of the high priority one becoming less and less priority

Tsk.

Again, there are people who kept asking for updates

While all the info are provided inside the daily reports mailed to them

"Mails are meant to be read" as per my commu. status

I snapped easily when people keep asking for updates/ info that actually is already in front of their nose

C'mon, u don't need to be spoon feed all the time right?

Sketch-ies

Satu skill yang masih belum cukup tajam ialah melukis

Yes, I'm bad at drawing

Masa kecik-kecik pernah menang pertandingan mewarna je

Melukis, haih

Pokok kelapa je cantik

And this is where the problem start

In my annual assessment, I need to draw at least the completion diagram

Some of the assessor can 'get the idea' of what I'm trying to explain/draw

But, the worst, "what's with this drawing"

Sheesh.

Ok. Point tulis ni sebab tadi dapat call kena update encik boss pasal sesuatu di offshore. Dan benda tu memerlukan skill melukis. So mari melukis.

I think I'm strong but I'm wrong

Scanned thru ur photos just now

And I can't help to cry

I know that u r already in a very good place

Very very good.

License to kill?

Xtau name sedih sgt bile baca berita pasal ustaz pukul murid dia sampai mati

Mungkin sebab teringat kat arwah Anas

Budak-budak kan helpless

Nape la ustaz tu letak otak kat lutut ye

Anak orang kot

Kalau anak haiwan pun xtergamak nak buat macam tu

Terlajak perahu boleh diundur, terlajak laku..kaku

I think

  • I think it's not right when somebody feels that he/she is very Islamic and keep mentioning his/her family is practicing some Islamic way
  • Somehow, I always feel he/she is trying to show off
  • Sometimes, there are things that better left unsaid
  • People know how to evaluate/judge


     


     

  • I think it's not right when somebody keep mentioning that he/she is very simple
  • Whereas I know, he/she is not that simple all the way
  • Sometimes, trying to be simple may potray you as another thing
  • People know how to evaluate/judge


     


     

  • Most of the time, you have to stand by your own side
  • Be firm and insyaAllah, you will get what you want

Scholarships : JPA / MARA / PETRONAS

Read this if u r SPM 2010 candidates and u r looking for scholarship. My company did Education Sponsorship Open Day today. Below are some of the questions that I managed to ask the scholarship personnel on behalf of my sister.

For JPA/MARA


- If we have applied for JPA, do we still need to apply for MARA ?
No, u can only apply either one.

- Currently, what are among the critical subjects and why are they considered critical ?
Medic, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Veterinary

- So, what's the career opportunities for those taking Economics studies ? And actually, in what area does the government mostly need new recruitment ?
For JPA, u need to register with esila immediately after u grad.  H/ever, if government fail to offer u any job within 12months, u r free to go to other places. Mostly, JPA will absorb u under Pegawai Tadbir Daerah (PTD). 

- Upon graduation, we are bonded with JPA/MARA for how many years and what if there aren't any job vacancies ?
for MARA, u r not bonded, cos MARA = convertible loan.  U have to pay once u finish ur studies, but u r free to work anywhere u want.

JPA = scholarship.  Thus, u r bonded.  Once graduated, u have to immediately register with government.  For medic, u'll b bonded for 10 years, other science stream 7 years; econs account finance = 5 years.

Additional :

  • No. of scholarships (JPA) and convertible loan (MARA) offered  = 12,000 (1,800 oversea + balance, local uni)
  • JPA & MARA will only offer 1,800 scholarships each for oversea programs.  This number is including students graduating from Matric.
  • JPA offers limited number of oversea scholarships to countries like US, UK, Ireland since most of their scholars breach the contract / not coming back to Msia / work oversea.  But, they still send Law students to UK.
  • JPA&MARA only sponsor for degree, meaning if u want to pursue ur professional certs (ACCA&CIMA) u have to do at ur own cost.  For JPA, u have to work with government, at least 3 years, then only u can further ur studies.
  • JPA scholars are for all Malay, Chinese, Indian + Bumiputera
  • MARA convertible loan is only for Malay + Bumiputera
  • The interviews will b conducted circa 14 April.  Format : group interview, current news, some knowledge on course that u plan to pursue


For PETRONAS

- Can we apply for both local and oversea programme ?
yes, can.  For local program, u have to fill in UTP form at UTP web

- Where can we get the list of oversea universities that PETRONAS usually sends its scholar to ?
no, this'll not be reveal. H/ever students obtaining scholarship will have to undergone preparation program at local college (Taylor's, KYUEM, etc)

- In your opinion, among Accounting, Financing and Economics which has the highest posiblity to be granted a scholarship ? In other word, in 5 years time, what does PETRONAS needs most ?
Chances are all the same.  Accounting with professional certs will be more marketable.

- If PETRONAS can't provide their scholars with any job opportunities, for how long do we need to wait until we'll be notified that there aren't any job vacancies for us ? And are we allowed to find job at any other places while waiting ?
6 months. Once the 6 months over, u r no more bonded, but u still have to pay 20% from the scholarship/depend on ur degree class.  Yes, u can apply to other companies as well, but Petronas will be ur priority. (this is the new requirement, mind u)

- Let's say there aren't any job for us, will PETRONAS release their scholars and do they need to pay back. PETRONAS will release, but u still have to pay based on ur degree class. 20% will be the highest amount u need to pay.

- For those in Financing area, what do they usually do ? (and same goes to those in Economics area) : refer to brochure, next email

- Let's say we want to take professional qualification like ACCA or CIMA, will PETRONAS sponsor us or PETRONAS will advise us to work with them for 2,3 years first ?
You have to work with Petronas first and subject to management approval to further study.

- I'm the child of PETRONAS employee, what's the percentage of me getting the scholarship (and actually how does PETRONAS select their future scholars e.g: base on salary or academic qualification or co-curricular achievement ?) : same, ther'll be no priority. U only have to meet criteria listed by PETRONAS and have outstanding co-curricular activities.

 Additional:

  • 1 week from closing date/14 april, I cant remember, PETRONAS will inform either u succeed / not in the application.
  • If u r successful, u have to attend induction/IQ test at UTP 17/4-18/4 or 21/4-24/4

Am I inspiring.

Never in my dream that I imagine myself giving talk to public

Especially in order for them to aspire to become someone likes me

But that was what I did this afternoon

I was actually giving a career talk to Sabahan students, i.e. the high schools and the college students

And to add further, I actually met my former school mate, Fizan

Same as me, he needs to aspire people to become a Geologist like him.

Ciao.

Habit


One bad thing I wish to change is 'the too much thinking habit'.
I think a lot when I go shopping
And end up not buying things that I should buy
I think a lot when I wish to own new things
And end up not buying it at all


My wishlist still remain the same for the last 2 years:
Buy new watch
Buy new working cloth
Buy new shoes
Buy new lense
Buy wii

Everything happens for a reason.


Tok Bapak passed away this am.
I just talked to Mama that I wish to visit him this weekend.
Death just doesn't wait for us.


It was a dejavu moment for me.
Last 12 Feb , we had doa selamat cum birthday celebration for Tok Bapak.
Today, the same ustaz that recited the doa selamat was the same ustaz that recite the doa after solat jenazah, and at the gravesite.

Food hunt in Malaysia

What will be the first Malaysian food that u want to introduce to tourist?

-nasi lemak

-nasi kerabu

-mee goreng mamak


 

Those are recommended by my colleagues. Unfortunately, my new friend doesn't eat spicy food. It was a challenge for me since most of our Malaysian food is spicy.

Hurm, actually I just wonder. She doesn't eat spicy food, but she can withstand very HOT tea.

Isn't it the same? Spicy n HOT? Hehe


 

Ok, so the first meal I introduced her is, Chicken Rice. And YEAH, she finished it. Cool

Next day,introduced her to rice and chicken. Chicken again? NVM

Next, noodles. This is the first time she eat noodles. So, it's quite an achievement when she finished one bowl of noodles.

Next, pizza. And this is the most enjoyable meal she had. Her staple food kan. LOL


 

Once, my colleague brings our new friend to eat sushi. And when they came back, my colleague complaint that our new friend only eat a lil' bit. He's quite disappointed considering they ate expensive sushi. Heh


 

So, he failed :P


 

This week, I'm safe cos one of her countrymate is coming, so she'll go lunch together with the newbie. Thus, saving me from cracking my head on where to eat everyday, since I'm a tapau person :D

Paham dok ni? (1)

Minggu lepas, ade sorang awek Negara asing (negara terpaksa dirahsiakan, kang kate country-ist) datang attachment kt projek ktorg. Sampai 6 mac ni.

Dia cakap English dia so-so, sebab bahasa pertama dia rusia. Ok fine. Xkesah janji paham.

Bos kecik assign gue untuk bawak awek ni jalan2 klcc, tunjuk tempat lunch tak pedas, kedai top up dan sebagainya.

Kedai pertama yang awek ni tanya ialah kedai nose.

Tapi dia sebut nuuuuse. So gue konpius. Kedai ape.

Since dia awek, gue bawak dia jalan2 parkson n isetan. Bila lalu tempat kasut, awek ni sebut nuse lagi.

Lame2 baru la dapat tangkap. Dia cari kedai nose, kt tingkat 3 nuh.

So, jalan la kami ke tingkat 3. Tapi, aikkk

Kedai nose dah xde kt tingkat 3. Yadda. Name je keje klcc, tp x alert langsung kt mane ilang kedai nose.

Since kedai nose dah ilang, so tanye la awek ni nk pegi mane.

Susah la jadi travel guide yang harus menerapkan ciri2 keperempuanan ni. Lagi2 bila kena fikir kt mana nk cari pearl, lipstick murah, jam murah, tartar yellow liquid, dsb.


 


 

Kat mane nk cari tartar yellow liquid?. Ceh, rupernye itu ialah Listerine.

Kakak ni angkut 4 botol besar + 1 botol kecik Listerine. Hihi. Umah gue pun non ado Listerine ni.

Dan paling syiook bila tunjuk barisan2 lips gloss yang macam2 perisa kat dia.

"Wow, this is very cheap. 3 dollars each? I should buy for my mom and friends"

Bagus kan. Shopping kan untuk kawan2.


 

Anyhow, gue dh jumpe kt mana ilangnye kedai nose tu. Rupernye kedai nose dh turun kt concourse level. Duh. Hari2 lalu depan kedai tu, tp tutup la sebab datang keje awal pagi.

ScarfRing

Lady G : Why u r wearing a scarf? Are u married already?

Lady H : It's my obligation + my religion require the ladies to cover up their hair. And I'm not married yet. Why?

Lady G : Owhh. I thought u are married already, since u wear scarf.

Lady H : Why so?

Lady G : In my country, ladies need to wear scarf once they are married. But, u can choose not to. That's why I wonder whether u are married or not. Considering there's no ring on your finger.

Lady H : Ok. Noted.

Now that I know, there's place that ladies need to wear scarf once they are married.

Hikmah dalam musibah


Since last year, I had been bugged with several offers to go for vacation in Egypt. But, to enjoy vacation in Egypt, at least RM6k is needed for that.
2010 end. Come 2011 and my parents insist on going to Egypt early this year. Told them that I cant join since there's planned offshore job end of Jan early Feb. (Somehow, this job had been defer to March)
Next, my sis got herself offer for PLKN. At first, my parents asked me to find way for my sis to defer her PLKN, so that she can join the Egypt trip. Somehow, they discovered that it is better for her to go for first batch of PLKN.
Lastly, Egypt plan in end Jan early Feb was called off.
And, as all of us are aware, currently there's ongoing riot at Egypt. Mixed comments and reactions had been posted. At first the government said that it's OK in Egypt. Then, the condition is getting worse.
Read at medicmesir.com and somebody posted that it's not true that Egypt university session will be defer for 1 year. But most of the media mentioned vice versa.
Back to initial story. To me this is what I can call as 'hikmah dalam musibah'. Cos to me, I will have more time to save enough money if I were to travel to Egypt and people will not keep pestering me to go Egypt (so soon).
For others, this 'reminder' can serve as reminder to us too. One day the country is peace, the next day it is no more. Plus, if we think our salary is too little, compare it with the Egyptian and Tunisian. No wonder lots of them migrate to other countries.
Let's pray for the safety of our ummah and that the truth will be prevail.
p/s: how is Chahine doing in Tunisia? :p

p/s: curios on how millions of people can unite and have urge at the same time to do demonstration like that. Reminder from Allah, perhaps

Nice

ACDC

Wow. This is the fastest ever I receive my ACD result.

Phew. The result is a lil bit funny. For me la. But, overall Alhamdulillah J

Kelakar sebab orang lain sibuk nak close Base yang ade 13 tu, gue cm dh terclose Key plak.

yang susah-susah plak tu. Huih, rezeki betul.


 

Somebody questioned me on why I didn't request for assessment on few topics since this can help me further on my promotion.

To me, I still believe that I need to have solid understanding and real application of one particular knowledge, so that I'll be more comfortable in being assessed. Tak kan la nak tipu diri sendiri kot, kan?

Plus, everybody will later expect u to know everything once u r a senior. Though the learning curve will never have an end, and some time u can't deny the fact that some juniors are better than u J


 

After this, I can give statement panas like this, "I have been assessed by the toughest in Ptech, be it Maharon or Willem, so u can't deny/disagree with my result". Haha, statement bakar. Saje.

Yeah, historically I've been assessed by both Custodians (the highest rank in our discipline), plus 2 other 'tough n laser' Staff. Susah, tension, sakit kepala, bengang. But in the end, this will help me to bench mark myself J

Hotel Review : Eastern & Oriental, Penang



I had an opportunity to stay for ~a week at this hotel, last Nov 2010. E&O is situated in the mid of town, in front of Garage-the famous night club in town.
During my arrival, friendly staffs greeted me and assist for the registration. While waiting, I was served with welcoming drink. If I can remember correctly, it was freshly squeezed juice. Nice!

Upon receiving the room key, the bellboy will assist you to your respective room and will brief you details of the room. VIP treatment, I guess?

I was lucky to have a room facing the Penang sea. To me, the room was very very huge. Considering that I had the room all to myself.
Imagine, I had to run across the hall, passing a walk-in wardrobe and toilet, just to open the door for my visitors.

 tilt ur head to view :|

What I like most is the bed and pillow. Yeah, what else should I look for after one tiring day of technical course right? The mattress was so fluffy J

The toilet was also very huge and I like the toilet's interior. Black and white marble tiles, a bath tub, his and her sink as well as shower.

Hmm, not to forget abundance of toiletries provided. But, to me, the liquid soap bottle cover was sumthing I struggle with. It's hard to open.

Apart from that, you will be provided with fruits (either 2 oranges or 2 apples) daily besides the normal tea sachets collection.

Owh yeah, this hotel has broadband internet! Something that everyone need most nowadays J
Though the food spread at the Sarkies Corner (the café) can be considered as variety, I find it quite boring since the menu was the same daily. Imagine yourself eating the same food daily, for ur breakfast, lunch and dinner. Surely, if u missed eating something the other day, u don't have to worry since u surely can have the meal the next day. May be the hotel can improve on the food menu. Alternate menu please J

The swimming pool is the small version one, but not for kids. Square shape. Most of the European visitors I noticed, love to have sun-bathing by the pool side instead.

Overall, this hotel is quite good and nice to stay. For photog enthusiast, you will find this hotel scenery something that u don't want to miss capturing it. Newlyweds will definitely love to have their wedding photos being photographed here. So, people out there, if you want to experience luxuriness, European atmosphere or just to reward yourself for a comfy holiday experience, do visit E&O Penang and experience it J
Enjoice !

Take 1:
Lady 1 : Heard that Mr X got engage recently.
Lady 2 : Yeah. He's getting married in 6 months.
Lady 1 : So, what about u? Any happy news?
Lady 2 : Yeahh! Everyday is happy news for me.
Lady 1 : Bakar..Bakar..




Take 2:

Take 3:
Lady M : Don't u feel pathetic eating your meal alone everyday?
               Don't u feel helpless when you don't have BF to help u in case ur car broke down?
               Don't u feel jealous looking at the couples out there?

Had so much fun at Farid&Tiara's wedding last night till the point that I think I had major headache.  Only Allah knows how does it feels.  Thanks to the beauty sleep that help to 'heal' the pain.

Wedding was OK.  Food was good. Plenty of time to catch up with friends.  Latest updates. Latest addition.

Only, I think, the MC 'served us with too much poems', while our tummies were drum rolling for the food :( 

Lessons learnt, points taken.  Next time we should have menepung tawar while the guests enjoy their meal.

Anyway, congrats to the newlyweds, and please...

Thursday

Went for Offshore Medical Check Up, and the doctor remembered me during my first visit for OMCU.
“I remembered u coming for OMCU previously…”
May be that’s normal line from a doctor.
But, I was amazed since he remembered my first offshore hitch at Petrofac.
Wuu. Cool la.  Doctor kecek Kelate summore.  He’s Chinese btw.

OKU


Majalah 3 tonight did a very good job in broadcasting about OKU and their dobi business.

Quoted from one of the OKU, "Ada orang tu datang kedai dobi ni dan terkejut tengok saya kat kaunter. Dia siap tanya saya boleh cuci baju dia ke?. Saya cakap boleh, mesin saya semua baru, boleh cuci baju dia sampai bersih. Lepas tu, orang tu cakap, xpe la, bagi balik baju saya, nanti baju saya kotor"

Gosh. I cant understand this kind of person perception. What kind of mentality is this?

Please understand these OKU. They are among the 'unfortunates' that should be given chances/responsibilities/trusts.

I know this since I have a brother who had low vision syndrome. He's normal but due to his features, people think he's abnormal.

Once, I overheard a man told his child:

Man : See that boy. He watches TV a lot, that's why he need to wear thick glasses.
His child then keep staring at my brother.

I, being a very protective sister then loudly talk to my brother. "If only this uncle know that u suffer from low vision problem and not by watching TV a lot, like his son".

Yes, I'm the angry sister. I dislike people making assumptions.

Please, I beg to people out there. If u think these kinds of people are strange, u are stranger than them!

Restart


Aim high,

favourite quote from Papa's teacher.

A nice way to start year 2011.
Next week gonna be my 3rd assesment, which means I'm already 3years+ in the company.
Which means, I need to close most of my gaps already!
What else should the bosses expect from the 'seniors' right?

But, do I start 2011 with a bang?
NO.

I'm still the same laid back gurl, not pushy enough to do my job.
Haih. I should be one since that's the way how people play the game here.

C'mon. time to improve!

Kick-start


I think I'm gaining weight!
Thanx to my daily dosage of nasi lemak mesra + Nescafe to kick start my day everyday.
I decide to change my meal plan everyday, starting with reducing the sugar intake.
Let's take it one step at a time..
Thus for tomorrow breakfast, the meal will be:
Campbell instant soup (since I notice the expired date will be Jan 2011.tsk) + Ahmad Lemon&Lime tea (no sugar)
So, let's monitor the progress till end of this week, and see how.

Lights off @ I-City, Klang

Having been to i-city early this year makes me want to bring my family there.

Much to my disappointment, there's entrance fee cum parking fee being imposed to the visitors. Yes, you need to pay RM10 prior to the (toll-gate?) ladies and you will be given a ticket (that you can throw off later). Earlier, visitors do not have to pay for any entrance fee or what not. Sigh.

Since visitors need to pay prior entering i-city, I expect that more attractions will be there, compared to early this year. Plus, The star mentioned that there are ice sled and winter exhibition there.

However, we got stuck in the traffic for 30 mins before we decide to park just by the roadside. Mind you, it is not worth it to continue queuing for the 'proper parking' when the cars in front of you are moving at snail speed.

First stop was at the Peacocks. Sad enough, not all the peacocks are nice to look at. Yeah, they don't have their colourful lights on anymore.

Second stop was the Pine trees. Same thing. Half of the trees don't have their lights on. To make thing worse, wiring done underground seem to pop out already. I witnessed a boy tripped on the exposed wire. Hazard!

Third stop was at the animal models. I was quite pissed off with the guard who keep whistling his whistle. Kecoh betul. The thing is, he tried to chase people from standing near the animal models whereas there's no signage that mention visitors cannot stand there. What la..

Next, we moved on to the shop lots. Last time, there were two 'shops' that has winter-like theme. However, this time, I was shocked to find out that the snowman, reindeer everything are move to the new 'Winter Place'.. I coined this name :p The two shops now become shops selling fancy head gears. I thought the RM 10 we paid earlier covers the entrance fee for the 'Winter Place'. But…nehi. You need to pay RM35 for adult and RM25 for children.

What a waste right?

In short, I considered myself wasting my money and time going to i-city since:

  • There's no proper traffic controller to control the jam and to ensure proper parking as well as smooth traffic
  • No proper maintenance done to the lights
  • Cleanliness is not maintained (the surrounding and the toilet)
  • Too expensive (for me), since for me going to i-city is just like you staring at your lampu hari raya at home. And, if I'm not mistaken, last time there was consideration to promote i-city to Arab people. With this kind of situation, I don't think the Arabs will be eager to visit i-city.

To the relevant parties, please improve! Why need to pay for entrance fee when I don't see the relevance of paying the entrance fee..

I should do justice to my shoes



Having a 'cinderella' feet like me make it hard for me to find suitable shoe size, and what more to find comfy shoes.
Thus, when I found one that meet the above criteria, i will wear it most of the time. Though I have other shoes to wear.
The current Joyce shoes is already 2 years old, and I wear it to work almost everyday since this shoes make me walk faster. cheyh
Fuh.
Now this shoes is already lunyai. I need to find new shoes before this shoes give up on me.
Pls Camel, more sales please :D

Hikmah

Mungkin ada hikmahnya asyik delay nak renew safety passport ni.

Safety passport untuk ke offshore.

Passport dh expired since November, tp sebab ade je training/keje2 ofis yg kena setelkan.

So in the end sampai hari ni x buat medical check-up and bosiet and renew passport.


 

Time tea break tadi kecoh sebab colleague mention Bekok terbakar.

Menyirap darah jap since weekend before nak ke training, field sendiri pun was on fire.

Nasib baik fire yg kecik2, n Alhamdulillah no one was injured. N nasib baik xrenew passport lg since sepatutnya mmg kena g offshore..


 

And, baru je masa lunch tadi borak2 pasal fire tu n another fire yg happen recently kt field lain

Tup2, Bekok lak on fire, n ade injuries. InsyaAllah, harap2 semua personnel selamat.

Ikut rumours, source of fire is from gas pipeline. Fuhh, bahaya!


 

To all personnel and families involved, banyak2 berdoa n insyaAllah semua selamat.

Nothing is so urgent, safety first :D

To do list


Watching amazing race asia 4 really entice me to join this race. The team spirit, happiness among the team members, fuhh..awesome!

U get to travel all around the world, to exotic places..for FREE!

Plus, u get the chances to do things like bungee jumping, artsy-crafty things that u surely will not do in ur daily life, driving caravan,etc

But there are things that I always wonder with my do ability to certain things, such as:

Drink ginger tea?


Eat vegetables?


Drive manual car?

Or simplest thing..to pat a cat..huuu

But, if I get a chance to join this race, first thing first that will hit my mind is, how m I going to pray in between of my race? I mean, u'll get dirty in the middle of the race, and since u'll be travelling to different continents, u shud aware of prayer time at those locations.

Hurm..

Buat baik dibalas baik

A friend of mine P was angry with me this morning since I forwarded invitation of her knowledge sharing session to our line department.

I felt that the topic she wanna share is interesting enough for our fraternity to benefit of.

Thus, my intention was to promote the knowledge sharing from our working level since most of the time our knowledge sharing revolves around vendors promoting their services and technologies.

Not that I know, she's angry with my intention..till another friend told me bout that.

Worst since my friend X get 'scolded' since I requested her to forward that email.

Huu. Initially, I felt bad since X get scolded, so I met P and explained my intention. Luckily, she managed to cool down.

Thus, P presented in the afternoon. I may say, response from our fraternity was good since many turned up to hear the presentation. And P managed to answer every questions posed to her smoothly.

What was shocking me later that P thanked me for forwarding the invitation to our fraternity. I guess, she benefit most from the knowledge sharing just now since that really boost her confidence J

Ponder

Sometimes, we laugh at others mistake. But, can we imagine if we were in their position at that point of time?

..

my new project seem to be challenging. too much uncertainties. lack of data. no budget.
and yet, we need to make wonders out of it. phew.

..

had technical review yesterday.  to summarize, human error had caused the problems to happen.
thus, i need to find  ways to troubleshoot the problems and revive the wells.

i was quite stunned when most of the experts laughed at the problems.  rephrased : cause of the problem and people in charged at that yesteryears time.

my proposals were rejected.

fine with me since personally i think, the study should be more detail.  though to the management, they need to settle these problems quickly to save their KPIs.

..

i just wonder, what if i/any of the expert was the one who handles the project at that time.

can we solve the problem?

can we take better measures compared to what this fullar had done?

..

let bygone be bygone :D
