New Year 2010

Maybe it's a bit late for me to wish happy new year 2010. I was too busy lately. Eventhough the team has expanded the workload still the same. Nevermind.

Well, before looking into this year resolution, let's look back on last year resolution.

1) Lose some weight - Achieved. Lost 3kg
2) Bought landed house - Achieved. Bought a house at Bukit Permata
3) Save extra income - Achieved. I have deduct extra money for my ASB and tabung haji from my yearly RM200 increment.
4) Look for a better pay (optional). Since I just switch job in june. - Failed. Not really looking for another job. But if the right offer comes, why not for this year
5) Travel at least twice - Achieved. Last year I did travel a lot

So for this year:

Basically everything almost the same. Lose weight, save extra money, better pay, travel. I just want to add:

1) Performing Solat eary. Not delaying it
2) Buy a motorbike (depends on monthly commitment as well)
3) Proper records keeping (need to use back my basic accounting skills)

So that's all for now. I noticed that i haven't update the second part of my trip to Indonesia. I'll update later.

19th December 2009 @ 4.30pm

Last Friday, the day where all Muslims celebrated Awal Muharam I was going back to my father hometown in Penang. I’m attending the Akad Nikah of my cousin on that day. The wedding will be on the next day.

On our way back there, my wife received SMS from her elder sister to come back home immediately due to the reason, my father in law condition is critical. For your information, my father in law suffering with cancer (stomach)stage 4.

We reached Penang about 3.00 pm. After Asar prayer we dropped by to my cousin house and about 6.30 pm we quickly drove back to KL. I reached Teluk Panglima Garang about 12.30 am. Everyone already there and my father in law just staring without even blinking his eyes.

On the next day, at about 4.30 pm my father in law passed away leaving behind my mother in law and five (children). AL FATIHAH to Allahyarham Nori Bin Minhat.

Semoga Rohnya dirahmati & dicucuri Rahmat Allah

KL - Jakarta - Bandung (Part 1)

As promised in my previous two posts, here are some notes on my last trip to Jakarta and Bandung.

We went there for one week.

This time we plan to go for sightseeing compare to our last year trip which focused on shopping. Hahahaha. We depart from KL about 4.00pm and arrive at Jakarta about 6.00pm. The time difference between Malaysia and Indonesia is just one hour. In other words, 6.00 pm in Indonesia is the same like 7.00 pm in Malaysia.

Since it already dark, nothing much can be done. We straightly check in at Sofyan Cikini Hotel. This hotel is an Islamic hotel and a good place to stay if you travel with your family. Reason why we choose this hotel is because it’s not far away from Gambir Train Station. We planned to take a train to Bandung in the next morning. From what we heard and read over the internet, travelling by train to Bandung is a good adventure. And certainly it does not disappoint us. The view was really amazing. All of us are wondering, how they did it (building a highway around the mountain and cliff). Here’s some of picture.

Once we arrived there, the driver from the hotel that we have made our reservation, already waiting for us. Here in Bandung we stay at Orange House. Here we took a family room which can occupy up to 5 members with a very reasonable rate. It’s really worth it. I would highly recommend you guys to stay here if you are not too fussy. The only thing which is lacked is their café in which every day, they serve the same menu for breakfast (nasi uduk). But for me it’s still ok with the amount we pay. I'll continue in my next post.

Moved In

Alhamdulillah....I have successfully moved in all the big things from my current house into our new house last Saturday.
I rent a 3 tonne lorry with the cost of RM300.
However, I haven't stay there yet.
Insyallah....this Saturday i'll plan to do some doa recital and everything for new house.
Maybe this Sunday, we will officially stay there.
Though it will be a new house, we'll definitely missed the current house.
We have been staying here for almost 3 years with all the lovely memories.

My Little Kitchen Cabinet

Its a bit hefty week for me. There's a lot of work that need to be done. I don't even have time to update on my previous vacation to Indonesia. I'll update about it on my next post. Insyaallah.

At last, we have done with kitchen cabinet. We pre booked the kitchen during Ramadhan but only yesterday we managed to installed it.
Two days before the kitchen being installed, i've done some painting on the kitchen wall itself. Well, just want to change the dull white color into something that will fit with the new kitchen.
So here goes how the kichen looks, before, during and after the installation.

I'm Certified

Alhamdulillah. I’ve passed the exam. Now I’m officially Certified Ethical Hacker. But I will only receive the certificate within one month time. Here’s the temporary certificate while waiting for the actual one to arrive from US.

This week, I’ll be working for only two days. On Wednesday I’ll be going for a holiday together with my mother, father, brother, wife and my daughter in Indonesia. So BON VOYAGE

CEH Training

Next week, 12 to 16 October, I'll be attending CEH training. It was sponsored by the Bank.
It's a bit pressure for me as i was told to make sure passing the exam.
So guys, please pray for my success.

Ramadhan Al Mubarak

First of all I would like to apologize for never updating my blog for quite some time. Well here goes my update before the Aidilfitri.

It was a really tough Ramadhan for us this year. A day before the fasting months began, my house was broken by a burglar. I’ve lost quite a hefty amount of cash, my laptop, broadband, jewelry, hand phone. Rough estimation of the total lost was about RM6K. I made a police report, but I thought will search for a finger print (like the CSI), unfortunately, they just snap some pictures. So right now, I can’t blogging from my house while waiting for a new laptop as well as new USB broadband modem. I might buy the modem after the Hari Raya Aidilfitri. On the laptop, heard that the Bank management has approved all IT personnel to be given laptop.

Next on the Iftar. This year I do received a lot of invitation from vendors to join them for Buka Puasa event. I turned down most of them due to the time constraint during weekdays as I need to fetch my wife and my daughter first. And as we all know, traffic was quite bad during this Ramadhan. However, I did attend one event since it was organized on Saturday. The best part was, I was given the power to choose where to go. Considering on the location, parking as well as the traffic, I choose Sime Darby Convention Centre. It was a nice venue with variety of food. Unfortunately, I can’t enjoy all of it since Adriana was not in a good mood. We have to leave there early.

On the next day, I did attend another Iftar. This time it was with my old colleagues during university time. So far, we never failed to organize this type of event every year. Eventhough this year, it was a bit rushed and last minute effort, thank God the event was a success. This time, Adriana was in a good mood. However, she was too active running around. So she missed some of the photography session. Here’s some of the picture from the event.
