Show me some sign.... ALLAH.

The past few months I feel like I'm slowly straying away further and further from the Almighty. Too many things that is currently happening in the world has this word on them or link with them : ALLAH. I'm thinking why is this so? Is our religion really sucks or is it the people that believe and have faith in this religion are the one who is sucks? I've read some sites about Islam and also some blogs about Islam. And most of them says that Islam is beautiful, pure and is a way of life. It's not just a religion where you put your faith in it, but a way of life. But how come I didn't feel so? I've been praying the way I was thought since I can remember,but why does all this rituals doesn't make me feel very close to Him? Why is some of my questions were left unanswered or were told not to ask b'cos it can lead to astray? It doesn't make sense that by merely asking can lead someone to astray. My believe is that it can lead to a better understanding and hopefully closer to your maker.

The other thing is that why can't we talk or discuss about it? When does discussion about our own faith has become a sensitive issue? Why can't we argue without being told to just accept what has been told by the mullahs/imams/ustaz etc ? Why can't we take our own initiative to do research, study, read about the noble Quran ourself without being told not to do so without any guru? Why? Why? Why?

Hope.... is all there is now.

I've lost hope of the salary adjustment actually. Except, today ARA mentioned that D'boss is going to see DAZ after the PDP board meeting at PD today. Hopefully things do materialise.

Yesterday golf with Fendy and gangs at Perangsang went on well. My score was 54/48 and win RM30. The day before, the game with D'boss and Poon ended with me paying RM60. But that's golf, one day you play good... the next day hancusssss.

Heard that KLGCC will be taken away from DTST and will be parked under JH. Now with Kush at helm, I wonder if the black boy will still be be around barking orders. This will only materialise after the Malaysian Open next month. No news yet on who's coming. Hopefully it's somebody that berbaloi to go and watch. Hmmm.....

Alfa GT... Dream come true?












Went to Auto Italia this morning for the OHSAS Workshop. After the introduction, went down to their showroom. My eyes already caught this stunning beauty. Alfa GT by Alfa Romeo. Damn... it's hot man. The price range is also affordable (considering the SDB new car policy) around RM 246K for SDB staff. I heard also that today there'll be another price reduction.

Sitting in this baby is like....heaven. A truly work of art. Now in dilemma whether to buy this using the new policy or to keep the current 3 series. Actually, the current 3 series is quite a bore, nothing special and not a head turner. But this baby.... wow! A dream come true maybe?

SDB pull the chair under Proton?

Read this morning in Paul Tan's blog that he's asking who is the conglomerate that will assemble VW. Well from what I hear SDB has already invested RM200 mil improving and enhancing its production line at Kulim to meet VW specs. And a team of VW engineers has visited the plant last month and has already given a thumb up. So pretty soon we'll see the Kulim plant churning VW as well as BMW. BMW you say? Yes.... BMW has also given the thumb up for Kulim to assemble it's latest 320i and target for the first car to come out is Mac 06. Next on the plate is their 5 series.

Well, from what I heard, talk btw VW and SDB has been going on for months. In fact, the relation btw the SDB people and the Germans has been smooth since SDB sold out its tyre manufacturing plant to Continental back in 2003. So, the German knows that SDB people are professional and there are no interference by the politician (PNB) in the running of its business. So we'll see whether all this rumours are true. Ciao.

Still no Kaching yet...?

Still no news of the additional kaching yet from D'boss. D'boss went to China with DAZ last week. He has yet to come to the office. So... wait laa. A long list of promotion, re-designation and re-position were announce last week except the top 3 GM. D'boss has yet to clear the salary issue with DAZ.

Received a circular regarding re-designation of HNZA from DOPD to Chief Procurement Officer. Adakah ini position? Not that I know of, but in SDB same as in Malaysia, anything is possible. So NZA got his wishes to report direct to DAZ eventually.

Heard another rumour that RR will return back to HQ replacing ANT. Donno what ANT is going to do. Probably concentrate on TQM. So who is going to replace RR at SUEP? News is that HjF will return back to his old position. Maybe with the promotion he's banging on. Good for him lah.

Eid ul-Adha

Yesterday celebrated Raya Korban at home. Wake up late, miss the solah, well actually very lazy to go. Wifey cooked a special Bamia curry with roti jala for the ocassion. Late in the evening, visited her uncle's house in Kajang. Not so much of celebration if you ask me. But.... hey, what is there to celebrate. Both of us has not gone to Hajj yet, no parents to visit. So dudok rumah makan roti lor.

Tomorrow there'll be a Korban event at DMIB. I've taken one portion for AJ (RM300). D'boss also take one and since he didn't want to go, he's already 'wakil' me the niat part. The thing will start at 7.30am. Damn, too early man. Maybe I'll go a bit late lah. See how...Ciao.

Kaching...??? Mana dia???

So far no news yet on the salary adjustment. ARA also didn't say anything. Feel like asking him, but too embarassed. Nanti, he think I'm too desperate pulak. So looks like I've got to wait until end of this month. Kalau ada, ada laa. Kalau tarak, makan roti lor.

Tomorrow is Aidil Adha. We're not going back to Teluk Kumbar this year. Probably will go back on CNY this month end. Heard that my sister has already put a downpayment on a house at Sungai Dua. Intermediate double storey with 5 rooms and 3 bathrooms. Good for her. Then we dont need to go to Penang island in the future. Nothing is there anymore. And with the extra room, staying there will be much comfortable.

No news yet on the selling of our Jitra house. I heard that there was 2 offer but our agent is still trying to get the deal thru. If we can sell the house, my monthly payment will be a bit lesser. So we can get the MPV that we really need (maybe a Naza Ria or Toyota Innova). But I heard that the price of the Toyota is around 105K. If that the case than maybe we should be getting the Naza Ria. Hmm.. something to dream about. Ciao.

Kaching.....$$$$

Heard that D'boss has already asked ARA to prepare the paper for our salary adjustment yesterday. Justification : Additional responsibility in Energy Div. If that is the case, WOW... I mean WOW!! Sure tabik D'boss one laa. Heard also from AAR that D'boss ss definately looking for something to give me... to run an operation, maybe China Project. Well, since I'm in a position of "Saya yang menurut perintah", I'll accept whatever that being offered and try my best.

Today I've the opportunity to have breakfast with DAZ. Somehow or rather, the PYT was there too. Maybe D'boss thought of getting her in to brighten up DAZ day. Yesterday went to lunch with her. Just the two of us... is this a start of something pleasurable? Hmm.... Ciao.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Well, pejam-celik pejam-celik it's already a new year. This year I celebrated at RP with D'boss and some other friends including Ah Poon, KWK and Lee. Well actually I wasn't invited pun, tapi just buat muka tebal and gate crashed. Used D'boss name in order to get in, drank all the free booze and flirt with some of the ladies around us. But actually I feel left out with everybody is either with a gf or missus and here I am without anybody. Bloody hell I got out of there only around 1. Quitely sneaked out without informing anybody. I'm pretty sure I won't be missed. Hmm... maybe it's high time to quit clubbing and dudok rumah aje.

Today wifey feel a bit breathless. During lunch time, I went back home, pick her up, then picked MSJ from school, send him back home and went straight to SJMC. Get the MO to check her up and then refer her to her Gyne. Luckily the doctor said it's only fatigueness. Asked her to rest laa today.

Nothing much is happenning in SD world. D'boss said that he's going to China after Raya Haji. Probably Rahim will follow him. Already talked to Rahim of my concern about Louis Lu. Seems that he's in control of everything. Hope DAZ and D'boss does not fall into these Chinks trap. Rahim also was startled on DAZ and D'boss easiness in giving in to all Louis Lu suggestion. Normally DAZ will carefully weigh the pros and cons of each deal but suprosingly this deal is very easy, fast and shrouded with mystery. Hopefully it's not the beginning of their downfall. We'll see la hor. Ciao.
