Adam@SJMC

I'm currently blogged from outpatient ward at SJMC (Subang Jaya Medical Center) via their free wifi. I've been here since this morning because of my baby Adam Rifqie was admitted into ward suggested by the pediatric specialist doctor Dr. Sofiah. Adam's fever was not seem to be cure, last night his fever going up reach to 39 degrees and yes, it worried me and my wife as their parent and we love him so much. Hope my baby will recover asap so then we will not being worried every minutes.


adam wif his mama, taking a nebulizer, hmm same like me when i was a kid.


adam wif his new mask. "look papa, i'm darth vader! kepishh! keposhh!".

:(

I will take an emergency leave from tomorrow until sunday since i will be working morning shift. Not sure when Adam will discharge, maybe tomorrow or the next day. However i will come to the office maybe tomorrow to check the training folder modules already there with a good condition or not and i need to make a 40 copies of the modules for training next week and another week. Huh, what a hectic days soon, well, for the RM1600 free just to share my knowledge with others, i think i'm ok with it.

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.

Project : Update

House reno project update.

1. The extended kitchen was completed! Yey! Now my kitchen was quite spacious then previously. Soon to save some money for kitchen cabinet. DONE!



2. The awning and grill at backyard and garage was 90% 100% finished. They need to touch up a bit for the awning (wheres some hole need to cover up) and paint the grill. DONE!

3. The extended gate, they need to rebuild again because they do it with a wrong measurement before. Maybe on monday. DONE!

4. The ground floor toilet, hmm, the reno was 70% completed, however, the toilet bowl got a bit problem since the toilet got congested. They need to clear it first before they can put the toilet bowl again. Still congested!

5. Laminate floor at the first floor already finished! Yey! The only things is need to mop the floor and we can move in soon! DONE!



6. Toilet sink at the first floor got a leakage at the filter, need to change with the new one since the rubber already broken. DONE!

7. Living, dining, stairs, ceiling and guest room need to be paint. Maybe hire a people to paint it or, i just paint it by my self, hmmm. Need a free time to do that. Ohh. 90% DONE!

:)

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: Piccas

Our house renovation - piccas taken yesterday.


Front gate and car porch area - cement all the floor so that our car can park side by side


Expend the kitchen area & build a brick wall for kitchen yard at the back of the house


Painting the wall (red was our master bedroom feature wall) hehe

Enough for now.

:)

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.

:)

Almost 3 Months

My baby now can smiles and laugh. He is almost 3 months now. I'll love and happy to see him growing and learning day by day, minutes by minutes. Alhamdulillah, i am a happy papa in the world right now!

Anniversary 1st Year!

It's been a year now, that we've been a husband and wife, and we got a precious gift ever within that time, Adam Rifqie. I'm very grateful for married to my lovely wife Siti Murni. Susah senang sedih gembira dikongsi bersama.

To my wifey,

Ada kala kita ada berselisih faham, ada kala kita bersedih, namun, semua itu adalah ujian hidup bersama sebagai suami dan isteri. Abang bersyukur kerana memilih ayang sebagai pasangan hidup abang selamanya. Semoga kasih kita takkan luput sampai bila bila. InsyaAllah, abang akan menjaga ayang dan anak kita, menjaga keluarga kita sebaik yang mungkin, selagi abang ada tenaga dan keupayaan yang dikurniakan oleh Allah. I love you so much ayang! Muahh!

Untuk ayang, selamat ulang tahun perkahwinan kita yang pertama. Semoga kehidupan kita akan bahagia, selamat, sejahtera selamanya, amin. InsyaAllah.

ops! terjiwang lak, hehe.

We celebrate our anniversary at home only, since i need to accompany my dad to clean the house that we are gonna move soon. I bought a cake and ordered a dominos pizza for the dinner since i can't bring my baby to the restaurant for a candle light dinner, hehe.

New Grade!

Alhamdulillah, syukur. Mungkin rezeki baby. Ingatkan dah x ada apa2 increment tahun lepas, rupanya diorang dah pernah buat revise tapi ntah ape2. Petang tadi, Head of HR call aku, minta aku datang office dia, ingatkan nak kene pi Arab, haha, kalau kene pi aku x mo dah kot. Rupanya panggilan rezeki. Aku dapat naik satu takuk gred. Kenaikan yang aku sepatutnya dapat pada tahun 2007, 2008 baru dapat, apepun Syukur. Backdated tapi bukan dari tahun 2007, backdated dari awal tahun ni je, hmmm. Takpe lah, better late then never.

Akhirnya target aku bekerja kat company ni dah pun tercapai. Tak tau lah kalau naik pangkat dapat kenaikan lagi ke tak kalau official, sebabnya, sekarang ni workload je naik, tapi offical letter takde pun, verbally je. Takpe, kita tunggu dan lihat macamana, mungkin ada hikmah disebalik semua yang berlaku ni. Baru la ada motivasi sikit nak datang office, hmm. Aku memang dah x ada motivasi dah sekarang ni nak pi keje, cuma aku fikir anak bini, terpaksala pergi jugak. Tapi kalau dapat offer pi MNC atau GLC atau better offer yang melampau, insyaAllah akan dipertimbangkan gak or thinking of joining new unit under MSS department like Zain or Ayoi's unit? ngeee. Bleh ke bang? hehe. I'm bored doing the same thing over and over for almost 4 years.

Cerita bab renovation rumah, aku dah dapat quotation dari contractor, dah agak dah, kos melebihi allocation budget. Nampaknya kena set priority yang mana lebih penting perlu dilakukan dahulu, discuss with wifey, nampaknya kitchen la yang buat dulu, porch terpaksa hold until further notice. Repair and paint kene buat, priority no 1 tu.

:)

New Project: House

Absolutely not related to work.

InsyaAllah, we will moving in to a new house (not that new, 18 years old already la). Previously, my oldest sister and her family live there but now they already moved to Seremban, quite near to my parents house. It was a terrace double-story house at Bandar Tasik Selatan. Before moving in, i have to do a minor renovation at kitchen like extend a little bit (if got a rezeki, think to build a kitchen cabinet = modern style) and at car porch, need to tiles all the floor and maybe automatic gate and extend the roof, repair the floor, doors and paint the walls. I will do painting by my self and my dad, need to discuss with wifey what colors she want for background and feature wall. A lot of work need to be done. Our trusted contractor, which is trusted by my family, they done a very good jobs since build up my parents house at Seremban until now, will be the main contractor for this project. Need to check with DBKL for approval to renovate the house, hope our contractor can help regarding this one.

The reason for moving in is:

1. My sister move out, the house is vacant and my parent offered me to live in that house, my current apartment will be own by my 2nd sister.

2. Landed house, it was my dream house, don't care the location is, but i think, this area are quite convenient to our family. Our son nursery is so near, also my mother in law apartment too. Shop lot, clinics, Masjid, Surau, Pasar Tani, ATM, LRT/Komuter, Gas Station, exit to main highway etc.

3. I can save a lot of money since i can cut off the maintainance fee which cost me quarter of my current salary (damn it!). Fuel for cars since i can go to shop etc just using my feet or a bicycle (plan to buy one/two if moving in that house).

4. Bigger house with 4 rooms which can provide us a lot of space to place our stuff. After the renovation, we will get our laundry area at the back of the house, separate from the kitchen. I already booked 1 room for my own use, i can equip that room with servers, book rack and etc.

The total budget for renovation and moving in will cost me RM20k. Fuhh, there a lot of money involve, damn! Hopefully i can reduce it more. If the budget exceed, i will cut a few things that not so important such as automatic gate or tiles floor. Anyway, i'm looking forward for this project to be done as soon as it can be!

Oh, and yes, this house is still owned by my mother, however, all the budget for renovation, door tax, repair etc will cost my own money. I'm lucky for that which is i don't need to pay the rent, Alhamdulillah.

:)

RON97 RM2.70

Urgh! Minyak naik lagi. Kali ni naik sebanyak RM0.78. Dari harga RM1.92 menjadi RM2.70. Aku x nak salahkan kerajaan yang memerintah sekarang kerana aku tau, ini bukan salah kerajaan. Kerajaan selama ini telah memberikan subsidi yang banyak terhadap pengguna petrol. Namun penjualan minyak harga pasaran dunia yang menyebabkan ketidakmampuan kerajaan ketika ini untuk menampung subsidi minyak yang diberikan. Aku bukan pro kerajaan mahupun contra kepada kerajaan. Aku menilai bergantung kepada isu-isu dan faktor yang ada.

Tapi, mungkin juga kerajaan yang menjadi penyebab kerana terlalu banyak projek2 yang ntah apa-apa dan pembaziran yang dilakukan. Mungkin kerana terlalu banyak koridor yang perlu dibina tanpa mengira pendapatan rakyat sehinggakan subsidi minyak diperlukan untuk perlaksanaan projek koridor kerajaan. Memang betul koridor ini akan membuka peluang pekerjaan kepada ramai rakyat, namun adakah rakyat akan menjadi hidup lebih senang selepas itu? Kadar kos sara hidup pasti akan meningkat berdasarkan pembangunan yang dilakukan. Syarikat yang menawarkan pekerjaan itu pastu ingin mengawal pengeluaran perbelanjaan, jadi tiada kenaikan gaji atau bonus terhadap pekerja. Gaji yang ditawarkan pula adalah kecil.

Ada juga aku fikir rakyat yang bersalah. Membazir penggunaan petrol yang ada. Selama ini kerajaan telah memberikan subsidi yang banyak untuk petrol, namun apabila kerajaan mengumumkan kenaikan sebanyak RM0.30, rakyat masih ingin memberi komplen bahawa kerajaan menaikkan harga minyak sewenang2nya. Adakah rakyat tidak tahu mengenai subsidi yang diberikan? Masih tidak mahu bersyukur sehinggalah kerajaan memutuskan untuk membuang subsidi sedikit demi sedikit supaya rakyat membayar harga petrol dengan harga pasaran dunia yang tinggi? Heh. Ada juga aku dengar, pembangkang ada memancing undi untuk mengurangkan harga minyak sekarang dari kerajaan yang memerintah sekarang. Adakah mereka tahu nilai asset kerajaan sekarang? Bolehkan mereka mengotakan janji mereka untuk menurunkan harga minyak yang mengikut harga pasaran dunia itu? Dengan memberi subsidi? Heh.

Ya, Malaysia memang mempunyai minyaknya sendiri, namun, kerajaan menjual minyak tersebut kerana minyak di Malaysia memang berkualiti tinggi dan harganya mahal. Malaysia terikat dengan harga minyak pasaran dunia kerana Malaysia menggunakan minyak petrol yang dibeli dari pasaran dunia kerana harganya murah berbanding menggunakan minyak sendiri yang berkualiti dan tidak mendapat pulangan nilai untuk negara.

Jadi, daripada membuat bising komplen sana dan sini, mari kita berfikir sejenak, kenapa semua ini berlaku? apa penyebabnya? apa penyelesaiannya? Daripada asyik menyalahkan orang lain, lebih baik kita membaiki diri sendiri dahulu. Berfikir bagaimana hendak mengurangkan penggunaan petrol yang mahal ini. Bagaimana ingin berjimat. Pencarian kerja baru yang menawarkan gaji yang tinggi mungkin merupakan salah satu jalan penyelesaian sekiranya pendapatan bulanan anda semasa bekerja adalah kurang dan kadar hidup semakin tinggi.

Jadi, mari kita sama-sama pening kepala memikirkan penyelesaiannya, huhu.

Ohh, aku berjaya que di Shell untuk isi full tank petrol berharga RM1.92/Liter tadi kerana pada hari jumaat ini hendak pergi ke Penang. Balik nanti pastinya RM2.70/Liter. Ohh! Apa nasib!

Hi, today is Adam's cukur jambul day! Alhamdullillah, just a small event which is include tahlil and doa selamat, also a selawat and in the same time, i'm carrying Adam to get his hair cut by all older people in the house.

Pak Uda's Wedding

Yesterday, the wedding of the year for my family happen which is, my Pak Uda's wedding held after 40+ years of waiting for him to get married. Alhamdulillah. All events went smooth, but when the aqad, he was obviously too nervous and can't do it well, however, he still managed to done it. So from now on, we got a new person in our family. Welcome to our club, Mak Uda Razalina.

Linux Security Training

Alhamdulillah, i managed to finish up teaching a Linux Security Administration class. The attendee was from government sector which is i cannot disclosed it here. It was a nice class since they already have a basic knowledge about linux and security and they ask lots of questions. I'm quite satisfied with the clients, however, 4 days was a long days to teach a basic linux security since i actually can finish the class just within 2 days. What i do was, find a bit hands on training, ask them to install and configure the linux by themselves and the last day was a test day, also i finish up the class earlier, which is after lunch.

It was a tiring day since i need to talk a lot and think fast to teach this kind of audience. Anyway, can't wait until i get my claim which is a quite satisfied for 4 days training, at least for me who need to find extra money.

:)
