Well the time for me to spend on blogging is getting lesser (and lesser). To be honest, there are plenty of things that I want to blog about but either I’m consumed with the works or I do suffer some blogger’s block when sitting in front of my laptop. Anyway somehow I managed to drag my hands and force my brain to come out with something, hence this posting
TRAINING
I just finished conducting Penetration Testing to our clients. Actually this is the first training for me in 2009 and frankly speaking, I do feel lil bit rusty. Anyway along the way I managed to get into my instructor mode again
. I also have another training session at the end of this month as well. This time it will be more on system hardening. I think there are few adjustments needed for the module and slides which I plan to undertake some time around next week.
PRESENTATION
Ahh last week I’ve done one presentation titled Apache hardening to a group of users from the government agencies. Well for my performance, there’s always “could do better” excuses and this time it is no different. But next time I have to make sure that my VMware will be in good condition for live demo before my presentation. This laptop is getting older faster than me. Sigh.

NEW HOUSE
Yeah, I just bought a new house (a second hand house actually) at PUJ 2, puncak Jalil. The house size is bit smaller than the one that we live currently (22 x 70 against 18 x 65) but then this place is where at least we can trully called home. The house is renovated by the previous owner where he extend the kitchen (now have wet and dry), simple modification that create a store room under the stairs, plastered ceilling, changed the gate and the fences as well. Every bedroom has their own ceilling fan and the master bedroom has its own water heater
All of these costs us about RM 194.5K for the house price. Like my father said, “It is a good start.” Yeah if everything goes well and according to plan, in 5 years time, me or wifey might get a bigger one
Insya Allah.

Home Sweet Home (soon)
CURRENTLY
I’m in the midst of preparing the framework or concept paper or whatever it is for our own MSS. I had the idea when discussing with my good friend Mr. Halizain or fondly known as Abg (due to his OLD age). If my idea/concept/framework accepted and fully adhered to, I believe it will increase our service quality and capability and perhaps inject the elements of fun and challenge for our own SAs. (Hopefully)
I guess those are few of the reasons why the blog is getting few updates recently… Poor me eh
congratz bro for buying your own truly house. Well, abang should follow you instead since he still using his “penthouse”.
