Hehe. Other than that, i don't care much to remember.

Got new gadget which is new handphone Nokia E66. Moving to landed house from apartment which is much more bigger spaces. Huhu, so much good things to remember.

Gadget&Projects

So much things happen to me lately, busy with work and life. I don't care much about work as long as i manage to finish my job. What i do care most is my life and my family. I'm quite busy playing with the new gadget in the house too! Yes, the new gadget is my new handphone since my phone now is going to die soon. Haha, nice reason haa! Well, actually we bought two phones. One for my wife since her birthday is just around the corner, and one for my self. It is NOKIA E66 model which is black for me and white for my wife. It's quite cool phone actually, slim, slide phone, got rotation function, wifi support, 3.5G HSDPA support and many more. You can read the review of the phone here. At first, i want to buy E71, however, thinking again about the QWERTY keyboard is so small for fast typing for SMS while driving, then i choose E66.


this is not piccas of my phone actually

Oh ya, Adam is also busy playing with his new gadget too which is horse+motor+F1 car, hehe. Bought by his mama at Ikano.


adam enjoying his new toys! :)

I have been pointed to handle the implementation of new MSS project which the client is one of our group company. They got 3 site to be monitor. One in PJ data center, one in HQ at Pusat Bandar Damansara and another one, i'm not sure where it's located actually, haha. So we have to deploy at least 6 IDS which is SNORT of course, and SIEM engine which is the collector already deployed in the PJ data center before. Well, hope i can managed it and this is my first big task, should see a lot of hiccup and mistake happen, but i'm learning from that, no body is perfect right?

Anyway, my final exam was finished last monday! Yahooo! Only 1 semester left which is for my final projects. Hope i get a good result since it was my last semester! Hahaha, happy happy! After that i can concentrate with other projects and any professional certification! Kwang3!

:)

Blogging Mood

I'm not in a mood of blogging lately since i'm busy with jobs (really?!) and my baby and my wifey attention at home. It also because of the problem with my laptop wifi adapter keep on disappear like it never been installed before, but sometime it's appear and then disappear again, most of the time now it will disappear. I don't like to surf in front of my access point upstairs because of i have to plug in the UTP cable direct from my laptop to the access point port available, so i just bought a cheap Dlink USB wireless adapter for my convenient to surfing in front of my TV. As long as i can connect to the internet, never mind about the brand or the price.

I think, not too late to wish Selamat Hari Raya Eid Adha to all muslims all over the world. Last year i'm perform solat sunat Eid Adha at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This year, i'm celebrating this hari raya with my wife and my baby at my mom-in-law house, just near to our house. Before the hari raya, we went back to Arwah Uwan's house at Kampung Bukit Tempurung, N.S since my Mak Lang's family, Pak Ngah's family, Pak Uda's family and my family gathered. It's like the good old days. I don't want to miss the event too. So we just went back to Kampung for only 1 day. I think it should be enough for me since i already promise with my wife to celebrate this hari raya at KL with her mom.

I already secured En. Roslan (my network lecturer at OUM) to be my supervisor for Final Project 1 and 2 next semester. He available and accept me as the student to supervise, thank God. And from now on, i have to work on this final project before it's too late. I got only 1 semester to finish my part time degree. Pray for my success!!

ps: Hey, can anybody buy me this book? Nmap Network Scanning: The Official Nmap Project Guide to Network Discovery and Security Scanning. It will publish early next year but i want it NOW!!!

Smiley Sky

Huu, i thought i'm the only person who notice about this, but then even in Buletin Utama also put this in the news. I notice it when i walk out from my home to the warung nearby to buy dinner. It was a smiley face up on the sky. I thought it just a moon with 2 star, however, actually it was 2 planets with the moon which is Jupiter and Venus. Nice! I try to took a picture using my wife digital camera, however it's not powerful enough to zoom that far. Well, here goes the picture i took from blogger in Philippine who saw the same smiley face too. Credit goes to JANE for the picture.



SubhanAllah ...

:)

Points Update

A few points to update my life:

1. Work - nothing much. Anyway, i've got a chance to troubleshoot the system by myself and now it's getting clearer on how this thing working. It's not that difficult to configure or troubleshoot if you know how this thing operate, know which files to look for, where to change some configuration, understand the concept, know how the network design or architecture design etc. I hope nothing big come until the know-better-guy come back from his home town.

2. Life - A bit hectic since my baby was admitted again in the HUKM. Still infection on the lung. Hmm. His lung is not strong enough to cure by using his own antibody yet. My assumption was it because of the wind from the fan we are using and also the toys that he always want to bite it. I know it could be inherit from my asthma too. He admitted there since last thursday until now. From ER to Pediatric Ward to PHDU (Pediatric High Dependency Unit) then back again in the Pediatric Ward. He is getting better and better but still hear the noise from his chest. Hopefully he can be discharge today or tomorrow.

My wife is taking the leave to take care Adam in the Hospital because i didn't have any AL to take because i'm not a confirm staff yet. If i want a leave, i must take a unpaid leave and it will reduce my salary in the end of the month. However, for emergency cases, i do not care about the work and for me, family is always the first to think for.

:)

How They Think?

I do wonder, how do they doing their business in the IT security sector if they don't think like the way security people should think which is SECURITY! I have a lot of comments but still under my probation. I will not put comments in here yet. This doesn't means i'm too good compared to them but it's all based on my working experience and knowledge that i've learn from experts in pure IT Security business company for almost 4 years.

Hmmm.

i think i will not stay long in this company, maybe ...

:|

It's Final Year!

Yahoooo! It's a final year! Either Semester Jan 09 or Semester May 09, i don't really care as long as it is my FINAL YEAR as a part time student! Kui. I just have to serve only 2 final projects which is Project I and Project II and no more final exam to be taken. Trying my best to get a good result for my CGPA this semester, hopefully it reach 3 point ++. Pray for my success ok.



:D

The All New

Hi! This just to update my life right now. As u guys already know, i'm now working with the new company. It was really a new environment. Luckily, i got a-long-time-ago friend to be my "kaki" working here to go for lunch or Friday prayer or to attend any event such as Hari Raya Open House. So far, it still ok, too early to judge about the job scope, environment etc. Not sure next week since my colleague in the same team will going back to his home town, India for Depavali, around 2 weeks time. Fuh, hopefully no big problems will raise since i'm still new to handle the troubleshooting and i don't have any hands on experience using their system yet.

Well, i will get a new laptop maybe another 2 weeks, currently i'm using their old skool IBM laptop R52, nevermind since i will got new one soon, hehe. Need to read and study more about the jobs thingy. Ohh, i don't start any of my assignment for my part time degree yet, ohh! damn! Hopefully i manage to finish it before the due date, ohh! ohh!

Long Update

It's been a long time since my last post. Hmm. I'm too busy getting ill. Aku ada demam, selsema, batuk2 sampai satu bandar dengar, sakit tekak, pening2 kepala, x larat nak jalan. Kelmarin wifey x tahan sangat ajak aku pi HUKM, dan diorang ambil darah = takut ada denggi sebab simptom dah ada sikit2. Alhamdulillah, result dia negative. So doktor arab-dah-pandai-cakap-melayu tu cakap aku kena pneumonia + infection kat tekak ke atau lung (aku x baper nak dgr time ni sebab slanga dia). Dia pun bagila berdozen2 ubat untuk aku makan berterusan selama 7 hari. So hari ni, aku dah rasa sihat sikit untuk bergerak ape sumer. Alhamdulillah.

Cuma, Adam maybe dah terkena jangkitan dari batuk aku. Hmm, aiseh sorry baby. Baby ni senang je kene jangkitan. Aku x leh nak dekat2 sgt ngan dia (mana boleh!). Lepas tu exzeme makin jadi2 pulak + ada kesan kene gigit ngan semut pulak, sebab semut naik atas katil. Maybe manis susu kot. Semut memang banyak sekarang, maybe sebab luar panas, semua semut masuk rumah, hmm. Harap baby ok la x lama lg, nak raya ni.

Banyak juga aku nak update, tapi macam malas + x larat demam tu terus kensel. Wifi dah on sumer tapi sampai nak tido x on2 pun laptop ni nak update. Huu. Untuk raya, dah dapat bonus raya RM1K, dah abis dah kena pow. Claim pun kene pow gak, huu! Tinggal gaji je ni. Hmm. Tengah pk camne nak buat bila nak gerak ni. Huhu. Nanti la try nego camne. Agak2 hari ni ada orang tak kat office ek? Hmm.

Update Ramadhan? berbuka kat mana? Tak yah la aku duplicate cerita, nak baca korang pi blog wifey. Dia dah cerita semua kat sana, ok. Lusa nak raya, rumah cam x kemas ape pun lagi, huuuu, cam malas plak, tapi rumah ni x banyak mana barang, so kemas2 skit2 settle. X de la sepah sangat pun aku tgk, ok jek. Ok lah.

SELAMAT MENYAMBUT EID FITRI KEPADA SEMUA UMAT ISLAM, MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN.

Parenting Articles

Rahsia Jadi Ayah Berkesan

BEBERAPA kajian menunjukkan bahawa kehadiran ayah menyumbang terhadap kejayaan anak dalam setiap fasa kehidupan mereka. Kajian itu disimpulkan dalam Father Facts, Edisi Ketiga (1998), antaranya:Bayi yang mempunyai ayah yang selalu bersama-sama anaknya di lapan minggu pertama, lebih berkemampuan menangani tekanan di alam persekolahan.Anak yang rapat dengan ayahnya pada zaman kanak-kanak menjadi ejen ‘penyelesai masalah’ yang baik apabila dewasa berbanding kanak-kanak yang tidak dipedulikan oleh ayahnya.

Apabila anak lelaki dan perempuan dididik dan dibelai oleh ayahnya serta sentiasa di sampingnya, sikap mereka apabila dewasa menjadi lebih berinisiatif dan mampu mengawal diri.Kanak-kanak yang mempunyai hubungan rapat dengan ayahnya ketika zaman tumbesarannya akan menjadi seorang remaja dan orang dewasa yang seimbang.

- Anak yang tidak berbapa.
Kajian menunjukkan kekosongan daripada belaian kasih ayah mempunyai hubungan rapat dengan pelbagai permasalahan gejala sosial dan prestasi pembelajaran anak-anak.

Anak yang tidak tinggal dengan ayahnya menunjukkan gejala seperti di bawah:

Lima kali lebih teruk prestasi pembelajaran.
Tiga kali lebih ramai yang mengandung tanpa nikah.
Lebih 50 peratus kemungkinan keciciran dalam pembelajaran, terbabit dengan gangsterism, penyalahgunaan dadah dan jenayah juvana.(Sumber: Pusat Kebapaan Kebangsaan)
Tujuh rahsia menjadi ayah yang berkesan.

Ramai lelaki terbilang berjaya dan berbangga kerana menjadi seorang ayah cemerlang dan berkesan. Menurut kajian Dr Ken Canfield, pengasas dan juga Presiden Pusat Kebapaan Kebangsaan dalam penyelidikannya mengenai ‘kebapaan’ ada tujuh rahsia menjadi ayah yang berkesan:

- Bapa yang komited dan bertanggungjawab.

Jalankan tugas bapa dengan penuh dedikasi dan bertanggungjawab. Kenal pasti apakah tugas anda sebagai bapa dalam rumah tangga. Tunjukkan dan beritahu anak bahawa anda juga ada tugas dalam rumah tangga, disamping ibu mereka. Anda bukan hanya bertugas di luar. Sekali-sekala berikan mereka peluang untuk mengutarakan pandangan atau menegur anda jika terlupa atau terlalai melakukan tugas anda di rumah. Selalu memeriksa dan memantau apakah anda telah melaksanakan tugas di rumah. Bayangkan ‘hadiah’ atau ‘anugerah’ yang bakal didapati (sama ada di dunia atau akhirat) jika anda menjadi ayah cemerlang!

- Kenali anak anda.

Ambil masa untuk mengenali secara khusus keunikan dan kualiti anak anda. Libatkan diri dalam dunia mereka, hadiah yang mereka sukai, ketakutan, kekecewaan malah impian dan cita-cita mereka. Cuba ingatkan semua nama kawan mereka serta pembawaan masing masing.Kenal pasti apa yang selalu mengecewakan, ditakuti, dibenci, paling memalukan serta yang boleh memberi motivasi dan perangsang kepada merekal Istiqamah (tetap pendirian) .

Apabila anak tahu apa yang bapa mahukan, mereka akan lebih berasa yakin serta boleh menyesuaikannya dengan kehendak anda. Jadi, istiqamah, tetap pendirian serta konsisten.

Ada enam tempat anda perlu konsisten iaitu hadkan perubahan mood (jangan terlalu mengikuti perasaan); sentiasa ada di rumah (selalu menghadirkan diri dalam acara kekeluargaan); kotakan apa yang dikata, bukan cakap tidak serupa bikin; sentiasa menjaga moral dan adab sopan; mempunyai atur cara kehidupan teratur serta ada hobi dan kegemaran baik yang boleh dilihat dan diikuti.

- Melindungi, menyara dan mendoakan.

Sediakan suasana dan rasa selamat dalam rumah dengan memberikan respon yang positif setiap kali berlaku krisis dan permasalahan dalam rumah. Paling penting anda memberikan saraan yang cukup kepada mereka. Bapa tidak boleh menghalang berlakunya krisis, tetapi tindakan anda ketika berlaku krisis dan mengembalikan suasana normal, sebenarnya ‘mengajar’ anak menangani krisis. Jangan lupa doakan untuk anak selepas solat.

- Mencintai ibu mereka.

Zahirkan cinta anda kepada isteri anda di depan anak untuk menunjukkan satu hubungan suami isteri yang intim dan bermakna. Jadikan diri anda sebagai anggota dalam pasukan ‘keibubapaan’, bukan hanya ibu. Inilah langkah dan hadiah terbaik untuk anak. Dalam jangka panjang, anak mendapat manfaat yang sangat bernilai daripada hubungan ibu bapa yang hormat menghormati, bekerjasama dan berkasih sayang.

- Menjadi pendengar yang baik.

Sedarlah bahawa anak mudah tersesat atau terpesong dalam arus dunia. Dengar apa yang mereka katakan dan apa yang tidak terluahkan. Tunjukkan kepada mereka bahwa mereka ‘berhak’ untuk didengari dan diberi perhatian.

- Jadikan diri anda ‘pemimpin’ kerohanian.

Beri peluang anak anda mengenali Allah dengan menunjukkan ‘keimanan’ dan amal harian anda yang selari dengan tuntutan agama. Bersolat bersama-sama dan jadi imam dalam solat lima waktu di rumah. Bawalah mereka bersama-sama menunaikan solat berjemaah di masjid. Selalu bercerita mengenai makhluk yang dicintai Allah di bumi dan langit.

ADSL In Da Haus!

Yey, streamyx is in the house! No more disconnected from cyber world. I now can check emails back, paybills that almost due and update my blogs! yey! For my planning to generate passive income, coming soon! The project will start anytime from now when i have a free time. Huu (seems like i am to busy wasting my time now! huhu).

I am using my old account of streamyx since TM said they can just transfer the account once you already have the account before, so that i don't need to terminate the old account and re-register streamyx account at new house. The only thing that i terminate is the fix phone line (even though this line also can be transferable too). I just want to use new phone number. I also upgrade the streamyx account from 512kbps for 60hours access to 512kbps too but with a unlimited access which is 24/7 combo. It cause me RM20 more compared to previous bill but right now, it's unlimited access so that i can use it without afraid of over budgeting the usage.
