June Update

Well, there's quite a few of updates for June actually.
It just i'm too busy with the world cup. No time to update.

OK. Let's start with 9th June 2010. It marks the second year of my employment with Bank Muamalat. Meaning, this is the second longest serving job i had after SCAN. Can i break the record of two and a half year stay in one company? Wallahua'lam.

Secondly, 17th June is my 29th birthday. One more year to reach the old group generation. Heheheheh. My wife bought me a cake on the 16th and we planned to celebrate it that midnight. Unfortunately, Adriana can't wait for it. She keeps on crying and saying "Abbeday to you". So in the end. she's the one who officially cuts the cake. Here's a look of it:

I got a sport shoes from my wife as a birthday gift. That's one of my wishes. Hehehehe. Hope to get the other wishes next time.

Next thing, the CEO and my boss have bought a new iPad. It was my boss, so what the heck related to me? Well, since i've been supporting Mac before i've been called to explore this new iPad. Luckily it was not that hard. It's good to have i think, but i'm not thinking of having it at all.

After recieving some bonus, i'm thingking of going for a holiday. Preferebly within Malaysia. Maybe i'll take a leave early July since i still have 23 days of leave. Compare to last year, by June normally my total annual leave was already 15.

Last but not least, England qualify for the knockout....hahahhaa (luck)....and Italy sucks.

World Cup 2010

World Cup fever has started. Good thing is, it starts on weekend. So I managed to watch the entire match starting with South Africa versus Mexico until Serbia versus Ghana.

I did plan to wake up for Germany versus Australia, however I guess that my alarm not functioning well today. So I missed it. I’m sure it was an interesting game as I watched the highlight before I went to the office. Germany beats Australia easily by 4 – 0.

Talking about the World Cup fever, four years back when I was working with SCAN, I was the Vice President of the sports club. I did organize a fantasy football game with the entrance fee of RM2 per person. The prize was a replica of the world cup trophy which we design it ourselves plus some shopping voucher. The winner was Wynn, a diehard Italy fan and a LADY!!. What a shame to all those guys including me.

In 2002 World Cup, I was still studying in UIA. For the sake of world cup, I purposely bought a TV card to be installed in my PC. And sometimes, I did skip some of the classes if it involves interesting matches. Sometimes, I watched it at Pejal, Remi, and Herman room since they have a TV. If my mom read it, don’t worry I’ve already graduate with flying colors. Hahahaha. Flying colors since I never failed or need to repeat any subject.

So for this year, I really want England to win it. But I’m very sure it would be miracle if it happens. Especially when looking back at the goal Robert Green concede in the match against USA. I guess that Spain will be the champion. They have a perfect player on all position. Not like England which too sucks at the back. Sorry England fans.

Back to the Office

After spending 8 days on MC and a total of 13 days of leave including Saturday Sunday, at last i'm back to the office.
Good to be back.....but on my way to the office yesterday I already got a call on internet access problem. Well, what a way to greet me from a long vacations.

Yesterday, the bank also organized some Majlis Kesyukuran for the performance of the bank throughout the final year ends March 2010. Alhamdulillah the bank making a profit of 232% increase from last year. Another good news, the CEO also announce:
Hope i can get a good bonus. It's been a while that i ever taste a bonus since i left SCAN. AMIN

Red Eye

I have been on MC since last Friday due to the sympton of Red Eye.
The doctor said it might goes on up to two weeks.

Until now, 5 days since Friday it doesn't show any sign of improvment.
My eyes still Red and it feels like the entire eyeball were pressed hard enough.
Tears keeps on flowing.

And now, i'm quarantined myself from my family members.
I'm sleeping in a different rooms to avoid it from infected to my daughter and my wife.
Here's the look of my eyes.

Little Princess

This are some of the photos which we took for Adriana.
We just realized that there are no proper or studio photos of her.
Here we go:

So? How was it?
It was really hard to make her smile. This is the only best pose that we managed to get from her

3rd Anniversary

Yesterday marked our 3rd year wedding anniversary.

To my wife Farrah Nor Nori, hope that our happiness will last forever and thank you for everything you've done throughout this period.
Really appreciate it so much.

Some flashback of 3 years ago

I'm a lucky man

Alhamdulillah.

Looks like this March 2010 is a lucky month for me.
On my last post I've won myself RM100 from Petronas.
This time, when I opened up the Internal Communication Portal, there's a memo.
Eventhough, it's not the grand prize winner which will get a Toshiba Notebook. Still i got a useful prize - a digital al Quran.You can refer the product features HERE

Letter

Just came back from Kuching yesterday.
When I reached the office today, there’s one letter on my desk. It comes from Petronas Dagangan Berhad. Huh? Is it an offer letter? But I remember that I never went for any Petronas interview. Hahaha. To my boss, don’t worry I’m not looking for another job yet.
Once I opened up the letter, I was shocked that I won a contest organized by Petronas. The contest name “Experience The Power, Enjoy The Savings”. Here’s the letter.
I was a bit lucky that I won RM100. Alhamdulillah.

p/s: I first thought I won RM10000 and got really excited only to notice there's a dot in the middle of the zero's. Hahahaha

Kelantan - Batu Pahat - Kluang - Ipoh - Kuching

What a hefty month for me this March.
The first week i went to Kelantan, the following week i went to Batu Pahat.
Basically i need to conduct security awareness program to all bank staff nationwide.
Its good actually since i can travel and claims. On top of that, i just loved conducting the training. It reminds me during my time in SCAN Associates.

While writing this blog, i was in Kluang. Just came back from batu pahat on Saturday and on tuesday need to come back to Johor in Kluang. Well its part of the job. I've never travel since joining Muamalat close to 2 years ago. Heheheh.

This week, the session will be in Ipoh. I can go back to my hometown with all expenses covered. Nice huh? Coming back on Sunday, on Monday morning i need to fly to Kuching. I can't remember when was the last time i went to Kuching. 2 or 3 years ago i think.

All the session will ends this month. So for this month, i'll be travelling very much and i really enjoy it

Forum Perdana Maulidur Rasul

Last night, I was glad that I managed to attend the Forum Perdana organized by Surau Bukit Permata.

The panelist was Ustaz Wan Shohor Bani Leman and Ustazah Roslina Jantan. It was a full house event. Congratulations to the committee members for organizing such a good event.

The topic discussed was on the “Teenagers in the era of globalization”. Interesting topic, in which has been a serious issue to all the teenagers especially the Muslims nowadays. The forum starts around 8.00 pm and finished around 10.30 pm. Not to forgot the refreshment which being served after the Isya’ prayer.

Last but not least, I’m just forwarding the message sends from Ustaz Wan Shohor.

He’s currently building a mosque in Bosnia Herzegovina. The mosque name is Shahabah Mosque. They are still in need of fund of about RM50, 000. Therefore, anyone interested can donate to this activity.

Details can be find here:

Sabda rasulullah s.a.w...bermaksud 1. "Perliharalah diri mu dari api neraka, walau pun hanya dengan -kebajikan pahala sedekah-separuh buah kurma sahaja" 2. "Ada di kalangan kamu yang bersedekah dengan kadar sebiji kurma sahaja dari harta yang halal/baik, dan Allah pula tidak menerima kecuali dari harta yang halal/baik. Maka Allah akan letakkan sedekah tadi di dalam 'tapak tanganNya' -(yang tiada sebanding/serupa dengannya sekali-kali). Lalu Allah pasti akan suburkannya seumpama seseorang dari kamu membela/menternak anak kuda atau anak unta, lalu sedekah tadi digandakan Allah sehingga menjadi sebesar bukit"

Mudah-mudahan semua amalan kita akan diberkati Allah dunia dan akhirat....Amin!

Last Sunday, I invite some of my colleagues to my house to celebrate the Birthday of my daughter Wan Nur Adriana. It was also a housewarming to my new house.

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.
