To be honest, I do not have any single idea to write anything. The original idea is to have this bold large size fonts statement some sort like this ” I really want to enter a new post today but I took an arrow to the knee” but since I am not willing to be “facepalmed” from some of my colleagues who has this habit of visiting this blog instead of porn other interesting sites, I bribed by lazy mind to do this post with a dose of 9gag  :D

Since wifey keeps on teasing reminding me about my age whenever I forgot misplaced my things, let see how many significant events or milestones happened in 2011 that this old mind could recall

1. Wifey decided that beating the traffics and rushing to work is not a fun thing to do anymore, so she applied the housewife post and of course she got that job
2. Since she’s spending most of the time at home, she decided to venture into cooking and baking and of course as a loving, romantic and caring husband,  I got her an oven and the usual baking and cooking stuff.
   

   This is NOT my wife

3. Due to no (2), we as a family spent most of our time eating at home. I will have my dinner at home as well and try my best to finish the meal (since I have my dinner kinda late). If not she will tear me a new hole.
4. And due to (3), I used to weigh around 60kg but now my weight is around 70kg and it is not even a year (OK just a matter of few hours if not days but still..) Looking at weighing scale is not a fun thing as it used to be.
   

   Not my feet and not my weigh..

5. Since wifey now is a professional housewife, she has the luxury of monitoring our kids up close and personal. Some of her findings sometimes mind shattering a bit
6. My 9 years old daughter reaching puberty at such a young age and as a good mother, wifey always try her best to answer all the questions posed by my daughter. Sometimes she will use metaphor and there were times when the question will be answered straight to the point.
   

   This is NOT my Daughter!!

7. Both of my daughters already behave like young gals. Teddy bears, face cleanser, blab la.. Am I too slow or the time passes by in the speed of light
8. My twins, now 4 years old are too handful for their mother and for me as well. Having a stroll in shopping mall with the twins is like a traffic police trying to control a traffic full of Mat Rempits . Most of the time they will end up in the shopping trolleys. As much as we try to avoid the toy sections, it seems that they have this Toys Tracking System embedded in their brain. Both of them will shout and pointed to the toys section direction whenever we try to use a different route. It doesn’t matter whether we are at Giant, Tesco or AEON Jusco (since those are the nearest shopping malls), they always get their Toys bearing right.
   

   This IS My Twins

9. Because of (1 until 8), in my 7^th year working at this company, I surprised myself with one action which I believe was a right move. Heck I still believe it is the right move. Well since I still the company and will celebrate 8^th anniversary of working at this company (hopefully la) I don’t think I should elaborate more
10. Some scary stuff is when the tsunami hits Japan back in March 2011 and my younger brother happened to study at one of the area affected by the earthquake and tsunami. From his recollection of events, he experienced the earthquake while taking his bath and what he did at that time is to hold on tight to the wall of the kolah(kolah in English is?). I can’t remember whether he managed to grab the towel or not. I didn’t ask. Thankfully his housing area only affected by the earthquake but not the tsunami. Oh, by the way it happened that my brother supposed to be graduated on the tsunami day The only silver lining emerge from this catastrophic event is I got myself an XboX 360 courtesy from my brother. The only problem is I can’t use that Xbox since the power usage here is not what it’s like in Japan.
    

    From left: My younger bro, my sister, my mom and my dad at Japan. Mission : kemas rumah

    

    Not my house but my bro's. Somehow I do feel that perhaps the condition already like this even if there's no earthquake

    

    All of them need to clean up this mess. Thankfully the landlord is friendly and helpful

11. I’ve started to use twitter back and received some “response” from that
12. Regarding the Computing Professional Board Act proposed by Malaysian Govn, my view is simple. If you want to do something, do it properly and make sure that all the stakeholders to be consulted first.  Get your feet wet and dirty by talking/discussing directly with the parties involved in the industry and not totally listen and depends to your CONsultant. They are looking the financial aspect alone.
13. Oh yeah, why not the related ministry start to do some research and study on why the IT graduates failed to get a job. Why they failed to apply their knowledge in the real working environment. Somehow I do believe that we need to prepare those graduates on the reality of works. Well I did give some opinions and views during Faculty of Science and Technology of Islamic Science University Advisory Board Meeting last few weeks.
14. Yes, I am privileged and honored to be appointed as one of the Advisory Board members for the FST of Islamic Science University. Hopefully we can assist the Faculty and the university to produce quality muslim graduates.
15. I better stop now

Hey not bad for a guy who “I do not have any single idea to write anything” eh? Till next time. .. Hopefully

Last weekend, I had a “old-friend-get together” session with one of my old friends nearby my house. He is one of my long lost friends and I can say that we shared a lot of experiences doing some naughty activities during our younger days.

He is totally opposite of me (used to be). I was a straight talker (Err I should use “am” but maybe it’s debatable) while he is more diplomatic, “cakap berlapik” thingy. I’m more “let’s go and do it now” while he is “Okay but let’s plan and think about the consequences (escape plans actually) first”.

So after exchanging the usual pleasantry, we start reminiscing the past activities and had a good laugh about it. The of course we touched about our current life and careers. Kinda surprise when he mentioned that he already surpass me on the number of companies that listed in his CV as former employer. When I asked him why, this is his answer;

“I work for money. For loyalty get a dog. For ‘Bear with us statement’ get a bear“

I just laughed so hard that I accidentally spilled my nescafe on the table.

Have to give that statement an exit 0

Perhaps next time I need to be a lil bit tactful with my wordings.

Or maybe not hehehe

Memo from CEO to the Manager:

Today at 11 o’clock there will be a total eclipse of the Sun. This is when the Sun disappears behind the Moon for two minutes. As this is something that cannot be seen every day, time will be allowed for employees to view the eclipse in the parking lot. Staff should meet in the lot at ten to eleven, when I will deliver a short speech introducing the eclipse, and giving some background information. Safety goggles will be made availabe at a small cost.

Memo from the Manager to the Department Head:

Today at ten to eleven, all staff should meet at the car park. This will be followed by a total eclipse of the sun, which will disappear for two minutes. For a moderate cost, this will be made safe with goggles. The CEO will deliver  a short speech beforehand to give us all some information. This is not something that can be seen everyday.

Memo from the Department Head to the Floor Manager:

The CEO will today deliver a short speech to make the sun disappear for two minutes in the form of an eclipse. This is something that cannot be seen everyday, so staff will meet in the car park at ten or eleven. This will be safe, if you pay a moderate cost.

Memo from the Floor Manager to the Supervisor:

Ten or eleven staff are to go to the car park, where the CEO will eclipse the sun for two minutes. This doesn’t happen everyday. It will be safe, and as usual it will cost you.

Memo from the Supervisor to the Staff:

Some staff will go to the car park today to see the CEO disappear.  It is a pity this doesn’t happen everyday……………..

Happy Birthday to both my sons, Adam Danish and Ariff Danial. They are more naughtier than before but I guess it is normal for any 3 years old kid eh? But one thing that I have to admit, handling the girls is kinda easy compared to the boys. I guess maybe it will be different when they reach their teenage years…

Anyway for the twins, they love to bug wifey every single time and yeah I do pity wifey as whenever I reached home from work, she appears to be lost a huge amount of energy which I believe 80% of it caused by the twins

Well, they might smear the plasma tv screen, hide the remote controls, playing with their foods, playing with the switches, the lights and the fans, keeps on bugging me to let them have shower every single time I went into the bathroom, yelling to each other, fighting, punching, arguing, shouting “Jusco” in unison whenever I wear pants or holding the house keys, never let me to close my eyes before they sleep and once in a while they get some slap at their pampers powered bottom, they always will get my hugs and kisses whenever I reached home.

Happy Birthday Sons, you are the most precious treasure I ever had… Of cause along with your mummy and your sisters lah

First of all, I am supposed to assist my colleague in preparing UiTM’s 2010 i-Hack’s forensic challenge competition which were held last weekend. I shall offer no excuse as to be honest, my schedule for the past few weeks is quite full and tight. Anyway since my colleague already asked for my help many months before the said competition date, I think it is inappropriate for me to give any excuses for that failure to fulfill my promise.

Actually I’ve thought about the concepts and materials already designed and prepared. It would be fun and quite challenging once I put the final arrangement and yeah, THAT particular final arrangement is yet to be applied hence incomplete materials from me.

So to cha’ah and the gang, I would like to say sorry eh? Maybe I could use the materials for next time or if not, maybe I just use it as one of my training materials.

There once lived a great mathematician in a small village. He was often called by the local king to advice on matters related to the economy.
His reputation had spread in whole country.  So it hurt him very much when the village headman told him, “You may
be a great mathematician who advises the king on economic matters but your son does not know the value of gold or silver.”

The mathematician called his son and asked, “What is more valuable – gold or silver?” “Gold,” said the son. “That is correct. Why is it then that the
village headman makes fun of you, claims you do not know the value of gold or silver? He teases me every day. He mocks me before other village elders
as a father who neglects his son. This hurts me. I feel everyone in the village is laughing behind my back because you do not know what is more
valuable, gold or silver. Explain this to me, son.”

For me personally, this year started well enough. I ended the January with 5 days at Jakarta assisting our sister company there on one project with one of the largest bank in Indonesia. That trip alone requires one entry as I had plenty of things that I’ve learned in that 5 days time.

The twins are getting naughtier, the eldest daughter is growing  and so does her sister which makes me start planning on future planning to monitor my daughters. Today’s Friday prayer sermon touch on Cyber Crimes and one of the points is the importance of knowing what your children are doing online. Well I’m not that worried on NOT knowing what they are doing online but more concern on mobile communication like sms, mms, and yeah I believe in the near future, soon Blackberry will be a norm. Cracking, Sniffing GSM or BlackBerry services seems not a bad idea though.. I should find a good way to include these devices in my monitoring system…

Currently I’m suffering from sunburn.. During last Chinese New Year holiday, we spent nearly one whole day at the beach (Balok Beach) and my children really enjoyed their time there.. So I am not that comfortable of meeting people now as I believe I do look like an alien…

Till next post then.. Have a nice weekend.. I will spend my weekend reviewing document though

p/s: To wifey, Happy Birthday dear…
