Sabah bah..

“Looks like me, sound like me but it’s not me…koreck, koreck..”

We laughed big time as we walked thru the Omega watches duty free shop in KLIA last two days. Omega is a brand to be reckoned now I guess. Dr Shark, Sham and myself we were on our way for another round of interview session in Sabah. At 6 we checked in at the Promenade, just a walking distance hotel from the famous Philippines market. I did not off my iPhone due to the ‘jailbreak’ apps during the flight from KL, only to discover it could not be used once we touched down KK. Maxis in KK requested RM100 and possibility of losing all data to reinstall the phone. I had a long day on day one.

On day two we interviewed 73 total nos of potential private student for UTP. Some are good some as usual unable to express themselves comfortably. Some are local some even need 8 hours to travel to the venue. At 5 we were at the market eagerly but calmly in doing necessary shopping. I’ve spent some for ‘umpan’ too..ha ha ha

Day three, I’m writing this post on board the flight back to KL. I could not offer any pic due to the absence of my iPhone to assist. Anyway one pic could really tell thousand word…

P/s - Muahhhhh balik.. hehe

We Won..

After a lapse of 5 years, the winning trophy of KSKKU bowling tournament came back to me. We won the team event with a stumping 80 pins ++ over the second team winner (hehe..no other than Khalid Ka’ab’s team - the individual winner goes to him thou).

I did not play my usual in the first game but came back strongly for the 2nd and third frame. Surprisingly enough members of the team, Jai, Midi and Sham played extremely good. Hamidi even came second best for individual all round.



Earlier on Saturday, we had our UTP Family Day 2011. Enjoy some pic taken from my iPhone..

I Got You Babe...

Action do speaks louder than word. You’ll be able to understand one’s feeling and expression from the way they smile, the way they frown or even from their tone of voices. I guess the more you speak the same language and using the same tone in communications, the less character and meaning that would be received by the counterpart. We are all inclined to judge ourselves by our ideals; others, by their acts.

And so I’m sorry.

P/s – Leave out Beavis and Butthead’s virtual karaoke session i.e. chick married to some dork, chick with tattoo on her butt, hehe hehe..yeay..yeay…hehe louder, louder….

Dirgahayu Tuanku

Cuti hari Keputeraan Sultan Perak ni aku menghabiskan masa memantau kontraktor rumah 267 menyiapkan kerja. Seperti yang aku jangkakan, banyak defect sini sana yang memerlukan perhatian. Kalau tidak dipantau you give money, gold sekali pun you’ll get monkey in return.

Dalam aku membelek surat khabar melihat senarai penerima-penerima Datukship daripada Sultan Perak, ada dua penerima yang menarik perhatian. Dua penerima dengan dua watak yang berbeza.

Cikgu Rauhi, as I knew him, was our Penolong Kanan HEP, sikit atas dari Cikgu Ayub guru disiplin kami. Cikgu Rauhi ni aku kenali dan aku ingati sebab selalu kena starlite a.k.a guna jari tengah letak kat dahi pastu gedebus, starlite satu. Pasti pening sekejap tengok bintang. Cikgu Rauhi ni tegas orangnya tetapi boleh dibuat kawan melawak. Kira tak la berapa takut sangat. Ada satu hari tu bila aku sama-sama dengan budak-budak sekili pergi pertandingan silat olahraga, dia rupanya wasit yang bertugas. Apalagi esoknya tengok muka dia pun tak berani. Hehe..wasit tu..sekali pelempang seminggu leh demam.

Lama rasanya tak dengar cerita Cikgu Rauhi, tau-tau dah dapat DPMP. Tahniah Datuk Cikegu Rauhi. Cikgu Rauhi ni tegas dan penuh dengan prinsip. Dalam ketegasannya dia berjaya membuatkan guru-guru dan para pelajar in a way tunduk kepada arahannya.

En Jamil Mat Kasa pulak sekarang ni bos besar Yayasan Perak. Rasanya baru lagi dia di position tu. Sebelum ke jawatan tersebut dia bagai digantung tak bertali. Agak lama Yayasan Perak tiada Pengurus Besar selepas Dr Saluddin. Agaknya tiada yang berkelayakan atau En Jamil dianggap tidak menepati ‘kriteria’ secara politiknya.

En Jamil terlibat semasa rundingan penjualan Sekolah Antarabangsa Ipoh (IIS) pada lewat 2004, satu initiatif Yayasan untuk keluar dari permasalahan kewangan dan cuba untuk fokus kepada ladang kelapa sawit di Sarawak & Indonesia. IIS pula yang ditubuhkan sekitar 1960an, pada masa itu memang sedang membangun. Pembangunan memerlukan dana dan Pengurusan Yayasan Perak melihat initiatif ini sebagai pembaziran, juga gagal melihat IIS muncul sebagai mercu pendidikan untuk menarik pelabur ke negeri ini. Aku yang juga eksekutif IIS pada masa itu mengambil jalan mudah keluar dari syarikat kerana tidak mahu bertuankan sebuah syarikat pemaju perumahan untuk menerajui IIS. Bagi aku syarikat pemaju perumahan tidak relevan langsung dengan pendidikan selain untuk menjana keuntungan daripadanya. Kurang dari setahun, ramai ibu bapa mengeluh dengan kenaikan yuran itu dan ini. Segala kemudahan yang dijanjikan sebelum pengambilalihan tidak ditunaikan. Aku cuma mampu tersenyum kerana semuanya sudah aku sedia maklum.

Dalam perkara ini bagi aku En Jamil telah gagal dalam membawa pembaharuan kepada Yayasan dan anak2 syarikat di bawahnya. At least bagi pendapat peribadi aku. Beliau kulihat kurang tegas, bergerak mengikut irama yang dimainkan kuat oleh ‘pemuzik’ yang kebanyakanya dari kalangan politikus dan beliau juga agak kurang berwawasan. Mungkin YAB MB memberikan jawatan tersebut kerana tahu beliau tidak akan lama menjawatnya.

Dua watak yang berbeza dari pandangan mata aku. Walaubagaimana pun tahniah atas DPMP, Yang Berusaha Datuk-datuk..

P/s – Dirgahayu Tuanku Sultan Perak..

Raja Pusing Keliling

This is the case of people using Statutory Declaration (SD) as if it has no implicate value to the law. People like Raja Petra (RPK) should clearly should not be given a space, what more a platform to talk. I wonder whether this will be a comeback for RPK i.e. coming back home after no longer being financed by the Opposition. Its either he is too stupid to declare Rosmah’s existence during the crime scene (read "I no longer accept the story. I think it's quite impossible. It can't be that the prime minister's wife would want to go to such place; it's a jungle. I'm imagining, climbing up the hill, going into the jungle at night, at 12 midnight, I think it's quite impossible,") or there were so many stupid cow head Malaysian out there that follows his No Hold Barred factory of liar. Can’t he figure out in the first place before putting up a SD? So now when you hear people gossiping about Haji Hadi and Najib berpelukan-pelukan, you can put up SD saying they are gay?

When a gasing being smacked by another gasing it will keep spinning but to the other direction. Ladies and gentlemen, that is RPK showing his true colors. Full of bullshit. You RPK are so irrelevant, no more than a pighead liar. Pigi mati daa…

 

Or, is this RPK's pension scheme altogether? mmm...?

P/s - I however, feels that all the above should not stop us from investigating the motives of Altantuya's murder. Wonder why it is still ignored?

Raja Petra Revealed his SD

Kuala Lumpur, Apr 14 - Malaysia Today founder and editor, Raja Petra Kamaruddin, has revealed that his statutory declaration (SD) linking Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak with the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu was made based on the information and demands by several individuals aimed at preventing Najib from becoming Prime Minister. He said he had never accused the prime minister or his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor of being involved in the murder of the Mongolian woman and that he no longer believed the story of these individuals. 

He added that these individuals were connected to several politicians including Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and that they had put pressure on him to do what he did to prevent Najib from taking over from Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi who was relinquishing the post.

"I no longer accept the story. I think it's quite impossible. It can't be that the prime minister's wife would want to go to such place; it's a jungle. I'm imagining, climbing up the hill, going into the jungle at night, at 12 midnight, I think it's quite impossible," he said in an exclusive interview with TV3 Group Editor Datuk Ashraf Abdullah in Perth, Australia, recently. The interview was aired through TV3's primetime news, Buletin Utama, Wednesday night. Raja Petra said in the SD he made on June 18, 2008, he had stated that he received information from several individuals claiming that Rosmah was at the scene where Altantuya was murdered.

"In my SD, I said that these people had told (me) and for these people to come forward and tell their stories, and for the authority to investigate and call these people. "That is what I've written in the SD. I've never raised any accusation. I didn't say I knew that the prime minister's wife was at the scene at that time," he said. He said: "I did not say. I did not make such accusation. All I said was that there were people telling stories but it's up to the authorities to investigate the matter further, and for these people to come forward. "And I've mentioned the names of these people. I mentioned their names during the police investigation," he said, identifying the individuals as Nik Azmi Nik Daud, John Pang and blogger Din Merican. He said a military intelligence officer known as Colonel Azmi Zainal Abidin had also given similar information.

Gudnite Dreams...

Mimpi sering mendatangi kita pada malam hari. Ada yang indah ada juga yang sebaliknya. Tapi tuhan maha mengetahui jadi dibangunkanNya kita setiap hari lalu diberikan kepada kita siang supaya dapat kita merealisasikan mimpi indah di malam hari.

Tapi siang esok dan untuk beberapa hari lagi aku masih mahu bermimpi. Jangan kejutkan aku kerana tiada apa yang hendak aku realisasikan. Mungkin aku perlukan ’pause’ yang sangat-sangat aku perlukan selama ini. Pause dari segala hiruk pikuk kerja yang tidak pernah ada batasannya, tidak pernah kurang timbunannya. Kejutkan saja aku minggu depan kerana walaupun minggu depan menjanjikan suasana hiruk pikuk itu, tapi aku pasti ianya penuh dengan kemanisan.

Siang tadi saja aku telah menanyakan soalan yang aku sendiri tiada upaya untuk berfikir A untuk jawapannya. Apatah lagi B, C dan seterusnya? Ahh, perlu saja aku lansungkan mimpi itu dan berharap aku akan mempunyai cukup tenaga untuk merealisasikannya bila fajar menyinsing. Aku perlukan tongkat, perlukan segala bantuan kerana aku tidak mampu untuk berdiri sendiri. Itu aku pasti...zzzzzzzzzzz (dah lolap dah..huhu)

Apa yang ko merapu ni Labu?...

P/s - Lagu Perasaan Hati untukmu

Tulen Bang...

Ada dua perkara yang boleh membuatkan tahap ketinggian BP (atau radiasi Fukushima) aku menurun. Pertamanya bilamana aku mengadap benda2 yang menyejukkan hati, quran, muka anak-anak aku, gambar arwah mak dsbgnya, atau yang keduanya teringatkan kisah2 lama. After a while baru aku faham, yang ada pada aku hanyalah cerita2 lama untuk membuatkan aku senyum semula menghadapi hari esok.

Ayat-ayat di atas takde kene mengena dengan tajuk..huhu.

Ada beberapa isu berkenaan tulen berlaku 2-3 hari ni. Pertamanya kisah telur plasu (fake egg) yang dijumpai di Pulau Pinang. Walaupun Menteri Kesihatan baru-baru ini mengeluarkan kenyataan bahawa telur yang disangka palsu itu mempunyai tahap protein yang sama dengan telur yang keluar dari ayam, wife aku dah tak berani lagi beli telur daripada groceries store. Kalau yang dari Jusco, Tesco buleh katanya. Telur palsu itu diperbuat daripada pelbagai bahan termasuk kalsium karbonat, kalsium klorida, gelatin dan beberapa campuran bahan kimia. Asalnya daripada China (teringat kes susu Melamine yang mengakibatkan lebih 53 ribu kanak-kanak China merana) dan telur palsu ini pembikinannya hanya memerlukan 0.55 Yuan sekilogram berbanding 5.6 Yuan/kg bagi telur asli.

Aku rasa yang berani buat benda bukan2 ni semuanya takde telor…

Ada satu lagi kes palsu dan tulen ni. Yang ini pulak memerlukan imaginasi dan ’kesungguhan’ yang tinggi untuk kita menilai ketulenannya. Dah lama tak tengok cite berwarna ni tapi untuk yang ini aku usahakan jugak. Dapatlah yang 1.47 saat punya tapi takpelah sebab bukan itu tujuan aku sebenarnya pun. Aku cuma nak memastikan keauthentication pelakunya. Setelah belek punya belek, in summary, kalau pun ada pelakon yang serupa, pelakon tu memanglah hebat sebab gaya, rupa cara senyum memang macam yang empunya diri. Tapi aku percaya innocent only until proven guilty. Lagipun memang banyak yang palsu di Malaysia ni.

P/s- Aku teringat cerita komedi 80an lakonan Salih Yaakob, Mr Os sama Ziela Jalil dengan tagline popularnya ”...Tulen bang....” huhu

Aku Terjun kang?....

Pegawai Penguatkuasa (PP) : Kamu telah disabitkan dengan kesalahan rasuah di bawah seksyen 456, akta jenayah berat. Apa respon kamu? (dalam nada keras..)

Suspek (S) : Saya sumpah Cik, saya tak buat, saya clean cik (sambil mata mula berair)..

PP : (Sambil mengesat air mata S dengan tisu dan tone suara rendah)..ok..ok..jangan nangis ye...ce cite..ce cite apa kesnya ni?

S : Sungguh Cik saya tak buat keje-keje tu. Jangan bagi saya bersedih cik, saya ni sensitif tahap sentimental nasyid ni cik..

PP : (Mengarahkan semua pintu dan tingkap ditutup)..Maaf la tuan. Saya tak marah...sikit pun tak marah tuan...saya main2 je tuan...Jangan marah saya tuan, kita kawan kan? kan? kan?

S : Cemana saya tak marah? Saya kata tak buat tak buat la...itu pun susah sangat nak paham ke? Saya lapar ni, belikan saya telur setengah masak 2 bijik..

PP : Ok la..ok la...Tuan jangan marah ye. Jangankan telur setengah masak, kepala gajah pun kalau tuan nak saya boleh belikan. Shhh! Jangan kasitau bos saya, brapa RM tuan mau, saya rasuah tuan ni.....

Kes Sarbani: Dua pegawai SPRM ditahan kerja
The Malaysian Insider
By: G Manimaran

KUALA LUMPUR, 7 April — Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) telah menggantung tugas seorang kakitangannya yang membiarkan pegawai Kastam berada seorang diri sebelum dia ditemui mati pagi semalam. Kedua-dua mereka ditahan kerja untuk tujuan siasatan kerana dikatakan melanggar perintah berhubung pengendalian saksi atau pelanggan di premis SPRM di mana pegawai-pegawai tersebut dikatakan gagal berada bersama saksi atau pelanggan sepanjang masa mereka berada dalam premis agensi antirasuah itu.

The Malaysian Insider difahamkan kedua-dua mereka ditahan kerja berkuat kuasa hari ini. “Proses tahan kerja ini adalah bagi membantu melicinkan penyiasatan dalaman berhubung perkara ini dan tindakan tahan kerja ini juga adalah sehingga siasatan dalaman selesai dijalankan. “Tindakan tahan kerja tersebut dibuat di bawah Peraturan 43 Peraturan-Peraturan Pegawai Awam (Kelakuan dan Tatatertib) (Pindaan) 2002 iaitu penahanan kerja bagi maksud penyiasatan,” kata SPRM dalam satu kenyataan dikeluarkan petang ini.Kenyataan itu menambah, hasil siasatan dalaman iitu setelah selesai kelak akan dibentangkan di Jawatankuasa Aduan SPRM. Pagi semalam, Ahmad Sarbani Mohamed, penolong pengarah Kastam Diraja Malaysia, ditemui mati di tingkat satu pejabat SPRM Wilayah Persekutuan Jalan Cochrane.

Communique

For the past week, people talks a lot about organizational structure changes of the institution. Looking at the chart I must admit we are no longer having a horizontal communication kinda structure but rather lateral. Top management is in a higher hierarchical rank while low management sits lower. Nevertheless, changes are good for the institution as it grow large, complex and specialized. I even heard DVC will have an executive as their personal assistance. Don’t get me wrong. I incredibly grateful for the changes being made cos’ we will be specialized in whatever we do plus more people to assist us with our daily work. Lots of new position have been created to cater for the specialized communication.

Do I speak the same language, singing the same song with the changes?

Nope, not yet but I sure will.

Do I feel awkward, feeling stressed with the communication that will take place?

I guess I’ll life with that..

Do I able to take more challenging task, be promoted?

Yup :-)

Do I able to take up extra work if promoted?

HELL NO!!!

Changes will be there from time to time. I just need to adopt, adapt and wake up from my comfort zone. No less and no more. Another thing, some says without communication planning is planned to fumble, a relationship is destined to fail. So to avoid it please consider the following: -

- First and foremost be a Good Listener;

- Do not transform dialogue into monologue, in other words, don't be selfish;

- Express yourself expressively;

- Forgive One Another (It is hard to do but once you do it feels good);

- Love is a sacrifice; and

- Leave little notes to your partner (A sweet idea).

P/s - Time check 12.05AM… shall need not waiting any longer. Lil' note has been posted just now so pillows, here I come…

Bowling 2011

Korang ingat dak permainan lama-lama. Permainan masa kecik-kecik dulu. Macam-macam permainan yang kita mainkan. Seronok sungguh masa tu. Ada main guli, main polis sentri, main galah panjang dsbgnya. Dalam permainan guli ni, hitting the marble in a game of guli requires ones skill and focus. A player needs to knock opponent’s guli out of the circle with their own marble. Sometime it will knock out opponent’s guli for good, sometime it may break our own guli.

In the game of polis sentri, you need all the strength needed. You need to run, you need to hide and seek, you need to use tactical and strategy to survive. It will definitely sharpen your ambush skills. Another group will also sharpen their hiding skills in the most unnoticeable places it can be.

Coming 24th I will need all the skill, focus and strength for another round of bowling. I used to be the overall Champion back in 2005 in my first year with the institution. We even won the group event. But then the strength and focus faded away and Fadil Ariff was nowhere near the podium since then. Since I was not supposed to put my thought anymore on the Transformation, I guess I can be a big time contender for the event. Ipoh Parade, here I come…

P/s – We’ll have UTP family day on the 24th, but 21st should be more exciting…
