One down and one to go.
We have successfully defended the English Premier League trophy again this year.
Now all sets for the European Champions League final against Chelsea in Moscow in 10 days time.
It will be a double heartbreak for Chelsea if they lost to us in the final.
In fact, there are some good news to the United camp. John Terry might be out for the final with dislocated shoulder injury.
Glory Glory Man United.
I've submitted this email to the sun newspaper.
Last Friday, when I came back from the office, I switched my ASTRO to channel 812 ESPN. Unfortunately is says that the channel is not in my subscription. Immediately I call ASTRO customer service and the customer service officer told me that they cannot access the system temporarily and promised to return my call once the system is OK. I keep on waiting but I haven't received any return call from them.
The next morning as early 8.00 am I gave them a call again. And this time they promised that my ASTRO should be OK in half an hour. After half an hour the problem yet to be solved and it started to pissed me off. I called them again and this time, they said I need to wait another one hour and they guarantee that the service will be OK. One hour later, the problem is yet to be solved. Again I called them, and this time they said I need to wait 24 hours for the service to be OK. What a stupid service provided by this ASTRO. They keep on promising and yet my ASTRO still facing the problem.
On Sunday, I call them again and this this they said they will try to solved it immediately but until now I still can't view my ASTRO. Even last night I need to watched my football match at mamak stall. Then what's the purpose of having ASTRO if I can't watch it at my own house? This ASTRO is now much terrible than before. Since receiving the new smartcard, I'm facing a lot of problem. First, my new smartcard got problem and I need to wait for one week to received the replacement card. Now, I can't even watched the channel that I subscribed to. And I've spent lot of my phone bills just to call them. What a stupid and terrible customer service.
Just that you are the only company that provide satellite service doesn't mean that you can treat your customer lightly. The government should take further action about it. What's the purpose of paying the bills if I can't watch it. And every time I need to call them with the problem yet to be solved and just to get speak with the customer service officer it took almost half an hour to get through the line.
Today 5 May 2008 means I've been working here in EON Bank for six months. Unofficially, I'm now a confirmed staff and just waiting for the official letter from HR. I've done the appraisal for confirmation last week and my score isn't too bad.
Now, I'm already entitled for the staff car loan at 4% monthly reduced. But I'm only looking forward for a staff housing loan at a rate of 3% per annum. Not bad huh.
Even though I'm already a confirmed staff, something still bothering me. After the bank announced the salary adjustment, the fresh graduates who joined the bank earning now earning almost the same salary with me who already have 4 years of experience. This is totally unfair and I would like to seek explanation from the HR today. Better that I rejoined again the bank. Hahahaha. If I managed to get some adjustment as well, then it would be a bonus for me. I pray for God on that and hope you guys pray for me as well.
Glory Glory Man United. That's what I can say to my favorite team Manchester United for qualifying to the final of European Champions League. A superb strike from Paul Scholes outside the penalty area went straight at the top corner of Barcelona goal post. This has been the most awaited moments for all the fans all around the world since the last time United qualify for the final was back in 1999 in which they won the magnificent treble.Next, United will meet either Liverpool or Chelsea in Moscow for the final next month. I hope it would be Liverpool since that Liverpool records against United is really bad. Under the managerial of Rafa Benitez, Liverpool has never beat United in all competitions. Hahahaha.
Back to this morning story. I woke up around 2.40am this morning. Luckily the game hasn't started yet.I take a look at my daughter and she's also awake at that time. So, I just bring her to the hall and watch the game together. Hehehehe. Hopefully, when she grow up, she can accompany me for any Manchester United match.
Well, it somehow might affecting me since last time, for unconfirmed staff we just need to give 24 hours notice. So far for today, still no good news for me.
Even though it is a good news, but I'm not sure whether I'm entitled or not since I haven't confirmed yet. According to the memo, they will pay the arrears starting Jan 2008 until April 2008. But before that, they will send a letter to every person whose entitled for it by this month.
Well, I just have to wait and see for the outcome.
By the way, they will only pay all the arrears next month. Maybe by that time, I'm no longer here.Hahahahah. I haven't received any new offer yet. But I'm keeping my finger crossed and praying for my luck. Somehow, I think I can see some light in a dark tunnel. I'll update on it later since this this just my rough thinking..
Last Saturday, I bring my baby for her Hepatitis injection.
I'm so happy when being told by the doctor the weight of my baby right now is 3.2 kg.
One month ago when we went for BCG, her weight is just 2.3 kg. Meaning my baby already gained almost 1 kg of weight. No wonder my wife felt tired carrying her when while breastfeed.
Last Saturday as well, my uncle Ami Rahman came to our house to see our baby. It's almost 2 month but yet he hasn't seen her. I cooked nasi lemak and ayam goreng berempah while my wife prepared the sambal. He went back at around 4pm.
Then, me and wife went to look for a new wardrobe since our existing one could not cope anymore with the capacity. We spent about RM500 for the wardrobe. Then, I dropped by at a lighting shop. And I bought some lights and a remote fan. It cost about RM300. Fuhhh.....In one day we spent about RM800. We also planned to buy one electric thermos pot. Unfortunately, by that time the one that we are interested in is out of stock. Maybe I'll go to another shopping center tomorrow. It will cost us about RM260. Tonight maybe the electrician will come to put on our new lights and fan. Another charge for it. Hahahaha....altogether we're spending more than RM1000 in just a few days. It's not that we're having some bonus or increment, maybe that's some extra rezeki we have. Alhamdulillah.
For my wife, thank you so much for all that you have done to me throughout this one year. I really appreciate it. I couldn't ask for a better gift than our lovely daughter Wan Nur Adriana.
This Saturday I'll be joining a futsal tournament organized by IIUM Alumni.
This is not the first time I've joined this tournament since last year me and my team already joined it.
Last year we name our team as Lauk United so that people think they can defeat us easily. In the end, we managed to take the 2nd runner up from 16 teams. Not bad huh. Besides that, our team also won the Fair Play Award. We received a pair of LINE7 jersey together with medal and not to forget the trophy for the Fair Play Award.
This year, its quite different. Last year there is no entrance fee. Meaning that it is totally sponsored by the ALUMNI. But this year we have to pay RM150 per team. Never mind. We still maintain the name of Lauk United and there are some changes in our line up. Our keepers has been changed since my friend John @ Johan still in Australia. Hope that if we can't maintain the 2nd runner up, at least to maintain the Fair Play Award. Thats our target for this year tournament. But who knows, maybe we can perform much better or worst since most of our team members are married and and some also have children. The issue of “pancit” might arise.
Today is the first time I'm late since joining EON Bank.
I arrived 5 minutes late which is 8.50 am.
Well, it wasn't too bad but it somehow affect my boss impression....I think.
Actually, yesterday I didn't got enough sleep. Forgot to mentioned that yesterday my baby and my wife already come back to our house. Usually I can only see my baby during weekend but now I can see her everyday.
Back to the reason on my lateness, this morning my baby woke up every one and a half hour. Even though I'm not the one giving her milk but still I'm awake from her loud voice crying. I also need to change the diaper at around 4 am this morning. Now I know how tired my wife is since I'm only facing this situation during weekend before.
The last time my baby woke up around 5.30 am. I have set my phone alarm at 6.30 am however I only woke up from my bed at around 7.30 am. I quickly take my bath and drive my car heading towards Terminal Putra LRT station. To make things worst, the train only arrived at 8.10am. From that moment I know I'll be late since it took 45 minutes to reach my office from Terminal Putra. I don't even have time for my breakfast today. Hopefully tomorrow I won't be late again. Hahahahah. After all, I'm glad I can help my wife.

Key findings were: 
Well, this is my new car. Sorry not to put the real picture since that I haven't snap any of it and the internet here is quite slow. Silver in colour with automatic transmission and WQV9496 as the registration number.
I've put up the spoiler yesterday. I was thinking of putting the TRD one but in the end I choose to have the MYVI SE type spoiler. This spoiler itself cost about RM250 including the painting.
I've asked about the TRD bodykit and cost about RM1000 for whole front and rear bumper plus the side skirting together with the paint. Not so important as my newborn baby will be the main priority.
So far, for the car i've spend a total of almost RM1000 for the tinted, spoiler, air freshner, etc.
Quite a lot of money and yet I haven't received the difference from selling my previous car.
Now only 11 January 2008. Still have another 14 days before my payday. Haiyoooooo....
This morning, around 10.30 am the fire alarm started.
Everyone seems to be calm.
Then they made announcement to evacuate the building and assemble in front of the Grand Continental Hotel next to Menara EON.
Overall we took about 23 minutes to clear out the building.
Looks like ok right? But we are suppose to clear the whole building within 17 minutes.
Hahhahahhaa.....
So as a result we can consider the exercise failed.
By the way, this is my first experience with this exercise. Last time at SCAN Dilla was the fire warden for our floor. But I didn't have the chance and opportunity to see how will she do if they conduct the fire drill exercise. Hahahhahaa....so funny to think of it.
Its been sometimes since I last update my blog.
Last time I did mentioned that one of my best friend in SCAN is leaving the company.
Its no longer rumors as the person already leave.
To Najib, I wish you good luck in your new career.
Luckily I manages to see you on your last day at SCAN.
At this moment my baby is already 6 months old inside the womb.
Hehhehehe.....
Every day I can feel the baby kicking from inside my wife tummy.
The funniest thing is that it kicks really hard especially when my wife watch “Sehati Berdansa Show” on ASTRO RIA. Heheheheh.....maybe someday, he/she will be born as a dancer.
Back to my career. Last saturday in The Star newspaper there are advertisement on job opening for EON Bank. Of the position offered is Security Analyst. Same position as what i'm doing right now.
Maybe the new guy who join will sit next to my table. To anyone who would like to apply can send their resume to manpower@eonbank.com.my
Lastly, I would like to wish Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha to all Muslim.
It has been 1 month and 1 week since I left SCAN.
Since then, many of my colleague have also left the company.
First one was Bob....this week will be my ex boss and the latest one that I heard is one of my best friends in SCAN.
Who is he? Well.....only time will know.....whether it is a rumors or fact.
However, I wish you luck my friend. A family man always need to think of their family first (salary) not the environment. Eventhough you can't never find the same environment like SCAN but trust me, i'm sure you can slowly adapt to it. Hehehhehehe. Like myself.
Last Saturday, I bring my wife for her monthly check up.
My wife is currently five months on her pregnancy. Only 4 months to go.
This time, for the first time ever, when I touched her stomach I can feel the movement.
Like the baby is punching from inside.
Hahahhaha....i really feel excited.
The doctor did mentioned about the sex of the baby but she can't really confirm it.
Hope that she's correct about it.
I'm planning to start buying some baby product this month.
At the same time, I still thinking what should I buy for my wife 26th birthday this 3rd Dec 2007.
Right now nothing pop up yet from my mind. Maybe because I haven't receive my salary yet.
Hahahahaha....4 days to go for my new salary.
Well, it has been 7 days in the new office.So far everything seems OK.
I was assigned under the Security Administration, Group IT.
Number of staff in the department just 5 including me.
I've been monitoring the honeynet, Snort, firewall and generating reports.
Last week, I met my colleague from my previous company (SCAN) – sufyan, liaw, RJ45 and Ansar.They are the team for the e-PKI.
The good thing is, i've been assigned to monitor them. Hahahah.Good one (can torture them).
The environment here, of course can't be compared to my previous company.
Miss my friends very much.
Me & my wife
Me, my wife and her family. Missing - Along, Agah & Dihir. Only Ateh and her husband available.
3rd October 2007 - i've made the toughest decision ever in my life.For almost 2.5 years working here, I have met and worked with many special people whose talent, passion, energy, dedication and sincerity in making SCAN a success company, I really admire it.
Before I leave, I would like to take the opportunity to seek forgiveness from each and every one in SCAN, if at any instances, direct or indirectly, intentional or unintentionally, I have offended you guys or hurt your feelings in any ways. As usual, please halal all the foods & drinks which at any instances were offered or some what offered to me. Last but not least if anyone of you guys getting married please send your card and Insyaallah I’ll try to attend it.
Thank you guys.....and the memory remains.....
I think it was done by someone anti KJ. hahahaha
My wife......viewing the sea
Me with my snorkeling suit
Me and my wife
The ticket Rm30 for 2 adult...quite expensive for a 12 minute ride
