Ayoi's

Just came back from the Sunway Medical Center. Why? Because one of my twins, Ariff had to spend at least one day there because of some breathing difficulties. Doctor yet to explain the possible cause to Ariff’s condition as perhaps we went to the medical center around 10.30 pm

Ariff gone through the X-Ray procedure, inhale some medication mist via nebulizer, has his blood taken (thankfully at that time, I was busy completing the admission process as I dun have the heart to see that blood taken process)

Now he is fast asleep accompanied by wifey as Ariff is momma’s boy. If it was Adam, then I’ll be the one who need to accompany him.

Me? I just as tired as usual, need to attend Adam especially his daily dose of night milk and plain water. Early in the morning tomorrow I will go to the medical center and see how my boy is doing and of cause seeing wifey as well. That means that I will not be able to conduct my training class today (tuesday 28th April), Between my passion and my children, the answer is obvious …

One of my favourite bands is Scorpion. Why? because of the lyrics. So with the conditions that we live in either locally or globally, I want to dedicate this song to every human being on this beloved planet. Read the lyrics and embrace the meaning.

During a meeting yesterday, in one of the exchanges, one of the HODs gave one respond that really hurts me. Even though those remark didn’t imply to me directly but then still it hurts me a lot.

Actually I am lil bit surprise with those kind of remark and yeah, of cause I didn’t respond to that. I dun want to prolong the meeting that already taken half of the day.

My only reply here is
“Sir, i think you should evaluate back the core business of this company and its main revenue generators which somehow didn’t include your dept.”

Why everything in this page turns out to be in BOLD? I’m scratching my head now.. Anybody has any explanation?

This morning, while walking towards the office after wifey drop me off (before that I have to drive her to Maxis KLCC for her to settle her bill) I pass by one indian guy walking towards the opposite direction. When we are close enuff, he smiled and told me,

” Sir, you have a very lucky face. You will be lucky in this year.”

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.

Abg Zain in action

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

As a working father, this song is really a good reminder for me to allocate sufficient time for me to spend with my kids. Hopefully I can say “My Boy was just like me” for the right reasons.

p/s: Generally I really like most of the songs in Ugly Kid’s Joe’s album titled “America’s Least Wanted“ especially “So Damn Cool” song

Okay, I always try my best to NOT post anything related to our local political scene. Why? Because sometimes our politicians tend to speak without using their brain. I came across with one blog post at  Marina Mahathir’s blog that also include one article from malaysiakini.net written by Adib Zalkapli. I recommend for you to read that article to understand what I meant. Anyway I will post few excerpt from that article. Oh yeah, the article title is “Change, as UMNO Understands it“

As a father who has two wonderful daughters and blessed with the twins, I just can’t comprehend on what Josef Fritzl has done to his daughter and even has the guts to let one of his daughter’s twins died (and the baby is his as well as he raped his daughter many times for 24 freaking years). Deep inside, somehow I do feel that the punishment is not appropriate for the destroyed and robbed lifetime and future of his daughter. But then when the time comes, he will face The Maker and I believe the justice will be fully served by Him. Below is the article that I’ve copied from SJS and team blog.
