3-phase, XY

::Retirement kills more people than hard work ever did.::

hulloh.

half of my family members are / will be going through a new phase of their life: my dad is retired, my sister is finishing her degree and gonna start on her practical soon, and my brother is starting his matriculation next month.

yg matriks tu, xde apa2 sgt sebenarnya, tapi mungkin bg adik aku big leap la, sbb ni 1st time dia duk asrama. yg practical tu, aku x pernah buat, tapi kalau lebih kurang sama dgn kerja; been there, done that. yg retire tu insyaAllah 32 thn lagi. ee cubala bayangkan, another 32 years of commuting. oh, the agony! err tapi x tau la kan, maybe nanti2 bila duit aku dah cukup, financially stable, mungkin bawak keta ke, heheh. x pun mungkin dah x kerja sini lagi dah ke...

tapi tulah, mcm bapak aku, pencen after 37+ of working, mcm mana laa rasa ek. dulu kawan aku cite ada parents kpd kawan dia dilanda depression sbb xde kerja. duduk kat rumah termenung je. kesian gak. tapi tula, kena la berusaha kan utk mengisi masa dan dada lapang, kan.

sekarang ni, aku je la yg bekerja kat rumah tu. erk, sole breadwinner? hehe tiba2 rasa special ni... pdhal duit pencen parents aku lagi byk. anyway, aku yg baru kerja 2 thn + pun kdg2 rasa bosan. mcm mana org lain sume boleh tahan sampai bertahun2 lamanya ni. err ke depends on kerja kita gak?

tawakkal je la kan... semoga apa yg kita buat dirahmati insyaAllah.

technology doping?

::majulah sukan untuk negara::

hulloh.

kat the star hari ni ada artikel pasal a swimsuit company saman speedo (another swimsuit company) pasal x menggalakkan persaingan sihat antara diorg. apparently speedo produced LZR RACER that claims can help to push you further in terms of swimming. since mid-february, about 37 new world records have been set by the wearers. gilaaaaaa.

ada org kata, technology has become a new form of 'dope'. tah la, aku x baca sgt pasal the ground (or should i say, record-?)-breaking technology speedo adopted to its new design, tapi kalau betul it can improve your strokes by 2%, better guna kan? oo iye, hence the lawsuit. kalau mcm tu, mcm mana dgn sport shoes? tiba2 teringat iklan puma yg tunjuk in the near future, soccer players use mechanical, metal gear solid lookalike legs in game, but in the meantime, there's puma.

which brings me back to the stuffs used in sports. kalau tgk bola pun, every epl akan ada satu bola baru yg diperkenalkan, yg kononnya "membuatkan tendangan lagi tepat, persis dan jitu". itu x dikira mcm sama kes mcm speedo tu ke? salah ke kalau guna barang2 yg akan improve our performance? if we were to use that philosophy in our daily life, hidup mcm zaman batu le jadinya.

lagi satu, kalau betul teknologi tu brings out the best of us, malaysia pun patut pakai bola tu, pakai kasut tu, pakai jersey tu, baru boleh maju.... err ke x? tapi nanti ada masalah baru dr segi kewangan lak kan. so much of essence of purity and integrity in sports.

hmm kalau kita x nak teknologi mengaburi mata kita ttg performance seseorang, senang je: x yah guna apa2 peralatan langsung. sume org main berkaki ayam, main pakai tangan. err in case of swimmers... uih bahaya tu. ye la, dah nak sgt komersilkan sukan.

speaking of which, lee chong wei menang tadi lawan lin dan. cayalah lengchai! after all these years, you still prove you da man... kalau dpt piala thomas tahun ni mmg best aah. i'm rooting for you. to others, contohilah chong wei.

this is how we do it

::Life - Dreams = Job::

hulloh.


been away for a lil more than a week. coming to office has never been this good.

nothing much to say, save that for when i'm in a better mood and bigger free-time frame (?). just wanna share a lil bit of what i do here everyday.

i have this some sort of 'application log', where i put down all the file numbers i have in hand. oh, this only involves files / applications that need further communication(s), so 1st comm files are not included. here i list out the problems with all these files, or sometimes the reply to the problems listed before. a snip of it:



the files are arranged in chronological order (since smaller numbers = filed earlier), so logically the ones on top of list are filed first. the reason i did this is so that i won't keep a file for far too long, and also to make it easier to anticipate how much time is needed to work on the files. then after i'm done with the file, i'll highlight the column, signaling this file is done with. but as seen here, the hi-lited one is, like, #32 in list. why not the earlier ones? answer: they'll give me headaches. they're all very confusing, time-consuming files. if i were to focus on these files, i won't be able to achieve my monthly target.

hehe so much for keeping log of the files, eh?

i've never been good with logs, anyway.

xde tapi2nya lagi

satu t/hari di hari ahad...

aku: eh, jom try makan kat cheng ho restoran amy search tu nak? dgr cite tpt tu murah tapi sedap.
pikah: apa tapi lak... dan la.
aku: ha'ah ye la, tersilap.

a gazillion milliseconds later... di saat sume org sambung baca paper...

mak: penggunaan tapi awak salah la. tapi tu utk benda yg berlawanan, bla bla bla...
aku n pikah: (hantuk kepala kat meja)

hehe err that last part is totally fictional. felt like doing it though. aku rasa sesuatu yg pelik utk sesi pembetulan perckpan di hari ahad, hari di mana sume dlm keadaan santai. pelik gak sbb seriously i thought i'd get away with it. i mean, i knew i said it wrong right after i said it, then again when my sister corrected me, but still got caught a few ms afer that? tapi aku pun pandai cover lepas tu...

aku: mmg la tapi sekarang ni kan benda yg murah selalunya x berkualiti / x sedap? kira betul la pakai tapi.

there are times when i thank God my "BM paper; pemahaman dan penulisan" days are over.

intellectual leap

::Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.::

hulloh.

been a while, no?

been quite busy with the IP day, which i'm glad i was a part of (my 1st time to be directly involved in it). got few 'minor' hiccups here and there ('you all ni xleh fikir ke??'), but otherwise it went well... the part i'm in, that is. thn ni aku x tgk langsung pelancaran / perasmian, mmg solely focus on pertandingan je. so, lain2 cite mmg tau gitu2 je la.

anyway, managed to get a few pics of the performing artistes, among them are:

izwan pilus... suara sedap. tapi gaya konon metrosexual la siket2, hehe

achik spin. aku rasa dia xde la pandai sgt entertain crowds, tapi ramai betul peminatnya. ada sekali tu siap duet dgn budak sekolah lagi... suara pun sedap. err tapi aku x tau sgt lagu2 dia. lagu yg dia nyanyi duet tu pun x sure lagu apa (yg pasti bukan lagu bola2 api tu la)

syanie. dia x nyanyi rasanya, just panggil budak2, suh berlakon, pastu bg tips pasal lakonan. err tu yg aku sempat tgk la... tgk gitu2 je

alam band. x pernah dgr, tapi lagu best. diorg bakal bertanding dlm ikon malaysia

rosyam nor. dr byk2 artis yg aku tgk, dia sorg je yg mention byk ttg IP other than copyright (trade mark, patent). good job bang, nampak abg mmg amik tau pasal ip day ni hehe... tapi ni antara artis2 yg aku tgk la, yg aku x tgk (e.g norman kru, dina, etc) aku x tau diorg ckp pasal apa

okay enough about IPday. in case you're wondering what the word 'leap' has gotta do with IPday, wonder no more:

hehe ni adik aku tgk lompat2... err that's our family's term for 'parkour'. apparently my bro and his parkour friends were featured in last week's the star's R.AGE and youth2. got a video there too, so whenever you're free do check it out. walaupun selama kitorg mmg anti siket dia gi lompat2 ni, tapi since dpt masuk paper ni, we forgive you lah hehe. kalau boleh dpt duit lagi bagus... mcm ada kawan dia sorg ni dpt bayar rm2000 to do some stunt in fernleaf's ad (yg budak kecik lawan kuman2 kaler hijau tu)... even though bila tgk kat tv x nampak pun muka kawan dia tu.
