Man United VS Malaysia

It was a last ditch effort actually. I was assuming none of my MU fan colleague decided to go to the match. Until I have a chat with Sopi. He mentioned that he’s already bought the ticket. Oh GOD. How come he didn’t inform me earlier?

So on that day, I’ve forced him to look for additional ticket for me as well. Sorry Sopi. Unfortunately the ticket sold out at NIKE One Utama. I’ve tried to check from the Pro Event website and it’s still available. But the only available seats available are the free seating behind the goal post worth RM58. I look for the authorized ticket reseller and called them. Luckily Rock Corner in Subang Parade still got a plenty of it.

All of sudden, Nik Apis name pop up inside my brain. So I gave him a call and he’s also thinking that everyone not interested to watch that match. So I’ve him to buy the ticket at Rock Corner since his office is just nearby Jalan Gasing. Taraaaaaaaaaa….we managed to get the ticket. But just the ticket, without any training passes.

In the evening, my officemate Muiz told me he got the RM68 ticket which has a better view. Oh my GOD. So, I decided to take it and last evening as well I started advertising the RM58 tickets for SALE. I just sell it with the normal price without any markup. I thought no one would bother about it. But my assumption was totally wrong. Within a few minutes the tickets has been grab. If only I sold it a bit higher…..hehehehe

This morning, I received the tickets. To make it more interesting I’ve received as well the training passes for tomorrow. Yahooooo…I’ll definitely go there as well. Here’s the look of it.

Weekend Outing

Last weekend, my mother was in KL. She got a complimentary stay at Impiana KLCC. So she decided to bring my daughter as well her only granddaughter to Aquaria KLCC.
While my mother and father went to Aquaria, me myself and my wife went to the Expo Barangan Buatan Malaysia (Malaysian Homemade Expo). We did buy something there, but all of it are just food. The rest of the thing didn't suits our interest.
On the part of the Convention Centre, Adriana was enjoying herself with my mother and father watching all fish inside Aquaria. At first i was quite afraid whether she will cries all day long. Here's some of the picture that my mother took. She really likes watching all those fish.

Its my birthday....a year older

It’s my birthday today. I’ll be on half day leave today. Well, my wife planned to celebrate it somewhere. Just the two of us, without Adriana. She’ll be staying at nursery. Heheheh.

I received the first wish about 12.05a.m this morning. It was from my mother in Ipoh. Thank you mama, love you so much.

Guess what I get for this year birthday from my wife? It was something that I’ve been dreaming of actually. It is a new NOKIA handphone. Here’s how the phone looks like:

World Record

Guess that everyone already knows that Man United has agreed to sell Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid for a world record of 80 million pounds.

As for me, it has been predicted and I'm not too shock. Since the saga took place last year, I knew that one day he'll definitely be a Real Madrid player. Same situation with previous Man United players such as Beckham, Van Nistelrooy and Heinze. Just hope that SAF will spend the money United received on another superb player such as Benzema or Ribery. Just wait and see, surely SAF will bring a new guy. On the other hand, the sale of Ronaldo would be an opportunity for fringe players such as Nani, Tosic etc.

Glory glory Man United...bye bye Ronaldo

1 year and counting

Today 9/6/2009 marks one year of my service in Bank Muamalat. It's not an easy way to sustain. Especially within one year, I've been working with 3 different Head of Department.
Within this time as well, few of my colleagues has left the organization and even transfered to other department. And lately, people keep on looking for another job. For me....I'll just wait and see.

As what I mentioned in my previous post, there's someone that has been disrupting the harmony in the team. I pray for a new changes inside the organization.

At last....

It has been so while since my last update. Those who has been following my blog, definitely noticed it. I can be consider as an active blogger last time but now its totally different.
There are some obstacles preventing me from updating my blog regularly. Hehehe...is it just some excuses? Well, among the reasons are:

1) The bank have block access to blogger, blogspot, wordpress etc. Even though I'm the one who controls it, but still I would try not to blog during office hour. Hehehehe. I'm the internet master here (proudly)

2) Secondly, I'm too busy with all the projects, working paper, management approval paper, POC. So far everything has been finalized and the projects that I've been handling since the first day I joined already concluded. Just waiting for PO issuance. Thank God.

3) Thirdly, I'm too busy learning new thing in the office or I can say in the IT world right now. I've been the main support for Macbook in the Bank. On top of that, I also need to equipped myself with Blackberry setting and configuration. I took it as a challenge, besides it can be add up to my CV.

Last but not least, here's something about Adriana my lovely daughter. She seems like to dig her nose (is this a correct words?). Here's a picture of her. The image quite blurr since I'm just using my mobile phone. Not DSLR.
I've also bought her a laptop. The main reason was to prevent her from disturbing me when I go online. Unfortunately, it only attracts her for a while.

Last but not least, Man Utd has won the EPL title for the 18th time in their history. Glory glory Man United. Here's a wallpaper of their title celebration.

Futsal With Media

Well, I've been so busy lately. Busy with all the paperworks, presentations, support, POC etc.
Just a quick update on this post.

I'll be joining a futsal tournament with the media such as Berita Harian, ERAfm, IKIM, RTM, NTV7, TV9, TV3, Harian Metro and some other media. This was organized by the Bank. I wasn't planned at all to join for this only last minute they invite since Muamalat is sending 6 teams. All together there will be 24 teams who join the event. The prizes seems quite interesting with RM3000 for the winner. Prizes will be given until 19th place. So we hope to at least get 19th place. Hahahahaha.

Well, back to my day to day life.
Lately there's been something disrupting the harmony in my department, IT to be exactly. I don't think i can put everything into detail here. But as a result of it, seems like everyone jobs looks not secured. Hope that what we fear will not even approach us. Pray to God for this.

Adriana, now can stand easily but still practicing to make her first move without fell down. She also managed to show us her teeth and nose. We'll be teaching her to show her eyes, ears and other part of the body slowly.

Alhamdulillah

Alhamdulillah. This month pay day, was also the day a bonus being given. For me, even though I'm not really entitle for at least one month (like most of the other staff got). I've been in the bank for about 10 months only (June08 - April09) and to received even on a prorate basis was a big gift already.

But one thing did bother me is the amount of tax deducted on the bonus given itself. I've got deducted about RM600. For me, its really a huge amount especially i'm only a receive a prorate basis bonus. Definitely, for my next year income tax will be an overpaid of tax. I wonder whether LHDN will return back all the excess.

As a gift for my wife, i bought her a handbag with her own choice. Eventhough its not really an original handbag, but it's actually an AAA gred and quite expensive as well. Here's a look of handbag choose by her.
And for my lovely baby Adriana, i already bought her a toy but i plan to bought another toy as well plus some new cloth for her, maybe tomorrow.
