Currently Reading

Currently reading (slowly) these 2 ebooks:


1. Effective IT Service Management: To ITIL and Beyond!


2. Implementing ITIL Configuration Management

I'm curiously interested to learn what is ITIL all about since these days, many organization especially MNC and GLC company using and implementing the ITIL for their IT departments. So, it is good knowledge to know what is ITIL for. This is quite most demanding knowledge now days beside SAP, Unix, Linux and Networking.

Salary Adjustment

Alhamdulillah, new salary adjustment has effected me too. Less then one month, i got a new salary rate, syukur. Thanks to my Executive Director a.k.a newly pointed CEO for listening what the staff really wants. The changes was quite a lot. Hmm, i wonder do they know that i am looking for other opportunities right now? hmm. Yes, money will motivate people to work harder but passion in doing the jobs also can be a motivation too. So far, i think i'm not motivated by money (this doesn't means that i don't want big money in my bank account) but the jobs scope and working hours had unmotivated me. Yes, i'm a married guy and have a 3 months old son. I also have a working wife. So, it's a lil bit mess for me now.

I like working in this company but the jobs scope had unmotivated me. I like more on working hands-on jobs as a system administrator/engineer compared to analyst. I like my hands dirty, not just sitting in the box rooms 24/7 monitoring and analyzing SEM, doing a stupid reports thats not that true and unsocialized. Some people were born as a packets monkey and working as analyst is their passion or jobs for life but it seems that i'm not that type of person. I took this job 3 1/2 years ago because of the opportunities was better then what i got at that time (opportunities doesn't means MONEY only, but also knowledge and experience). After these years, i have been thinking a lot of doing my past jobs which is working with my true passion, same like my first career before. Still thinking of changing. Hmm.

Anyway, my goals to own more then RM**** in this company has accomplished! Thank you Allah!

i write this post is only meant for me, not for anybody, so please do respect my opinion. thank you

32" Plasma TV

Yey! Finally, yesterday i got my free TV. Remember? Even though it is not a Sony or LG or LCDTV, but it still a FREE 32" Plasma TV which is Haier brand. Nevermind, atleast, this tv got 1xHDMI port support until 1080i, component port, surround sound support and it's FREE! hoho. I'm so happy. Compared to my old-loanfromdad-14"-tv, this 32"-free-plasma-tv is much much better! Hehe.



What i want in my wishlist now is:

1. Component cable for my PS2.
2. SVGA-HDMI or SVGA-Component (is there such a thing?) or just AV cable from my laptop to tv (which i lost it! dem!)
3. Home theater set, probably from SONY or Pioneer or any brands that satisfied me in term of quality and price.
4. Playstation 3 80GB, hohoho (don't know how long it will takes for me to own this, but i think it is quite near :P).

Project & Lucky

My new project which is a house renovation is going smooth so far. The wall for extended kitchen is almost finish. My contractor said that they will build the roof tomorrow for the kitchen. Me and my dad had done a basic white paint for rooms at second floor. The feature wall for master bed room will be red. Adam's room feature wall will be blue and my study room a.k.a hobby room will be, ermm orange? hehe. Need to buy 2 liters paints for blue and orange, tomorrow? My feature wall for living hall will be brown. I like brown. I like modern style, however we already have our own furniture that not so modern, maybe it will be a rojak style, hoho. I will try to take some piccas of the house soon.

I think i'm lucky enough because i won a 2nd 1st prize lucky draw from my company's family day at Awana Kijal. The grand prize was a cash of RM3000 won by Azwan and the 2nd prize was a camcorder won by Ezrai, both were in the same department with me. Even though i didn't attend the event because i worked on that day, i still entitle for that prize. It was a 32" LCD tv, probably a LG or Sony brand, i hope it's a Sony, hahaha. Never mind. I am really grateful for that. Alhamdulillah. Still waiting for KSS to release the prize.
