Selamat Hari Raya...

Kepada semua kawan-kawan yang dikasihi sekelian, terimalah ‘posting’ kali ini sebagai pengganti kad hari raya. On behalf of my family, we wish you happy hari raya, maaf zahir dan batin. Please come over to my house this raya ok? Just give me a call dulu la…kalau tak makan muruku je tau. Btw, I just bought MAWI karaoke vcd. So to those who wishes to sing his AF songs, datang rumah aaahhh...

To Fiqar, congratulation on your new born baby girl!! This Raya would be more meaningful to you and your family (more duit raya to give out..hehehe). I’m happy for you dude!

To the rest, safe driving guys, make sure we all come back home safely. Mentekadarah pun bior berpada-pada. Takut nanti susah nak sambung main badminton.

Lazyy Daaayyy....

Today is the 23rd day of Ramadhan. In 7 days time, Muslims around the world will be celebrating Hari Raya, a celebration where we rejoice the victory of a month long battle against lust. Time really flies. Without realizing it, Syawal is just around the corner. How’s my preparation this year? Let me see, I think as far as my kids are concern, semua sudah siap. In fact, even before Raya they’ve ‘soiled’ their new clothes already. Ayu bought Raidi a new pair of Adidas slippers. I told Raidi how lucky he is today, at his age he gets to wear this branded pair of slippers. In my days, if I can still remember, only when I was 12 years old that I get to wear a pair of shoes which can be considered as branded. Some of you guys might recall this brand and it’s called “Roadstar”. My dad bought me this shoe at the old Jaya Jusco in TTDI. It’s a ‘high cut’ shoe where you can unzip the upper lip of the shoe and terus jadi low cut..fuyooooo. At that time, it was fashionable laaa….

I feel sooo lazy to work today. During lunch break I went to Menara Telekom and saw the lobby busy with people. Apparently, there was this promotion going on by TM, selling retail products. I thought of signing up for the CDMA phone, but thinking that it would not be of much use to me, so I decided to window shop instead. This CDMA is quite cool really, It’s a mobile phone but the service is limited to certain area of coverage. In other words, you can take your fix line at home and carry it like other mobile phone anywhere within the local exchange boundary. In my case, I can take this phone to the office and who ever calls my house phone, I can pick up the call. Of course, I can make calls too. The advantage is, you would be able to make local call at fixed line rates which is cheaper as compared to mobile rate charges. How much I can save if I use CDMA? Zero…hehehe..because I don’t use my mobile phone to call people up. Office line kan ada..hehehe

I when up to my old office at 12th Floor, Menara TM, and it was nearly empty. However I saw Fasliza, my unofficial fund manager, sitting at her place punching some numbers into the spreadsheet. I talked to her about my EPF investment that she’s currently ‘managing’, I was quite happy with the outcome so far. Rather than ‘idling’ in the EPF 1st account, I decided to invest some money in Unit Trust. The amount that I invested is really small. But I was so ‘concerned’ about it and had always bothered Fasliza as if she was managing my millions..hehehe. I told her, it might be small now, but I have at least another 20 years worth of contribution in the future. When my EPF income grows, her side income will grow as well. She’s got nothing to loose taking care of a fussy client like me. Interested to invest? Call me up and I’ll introduce you to her.

Nothing much or interesting happened today. I ended my day in the office worrying about my unfinished tasks. Damn it, I’m procrastinating. My worst habits I should say. Always waiting for the last minute to complete the job. I don’t know why laa. I know its not good, but I think I work best under pressure. So doing things the last minute always put me under pressure. Hehehehe alasan! Malas sebenarnyaa…

Somewhere Only We Know...

Yup, 22nd October 2005, its’s Saturday and today..I think it’s a historic day for me. I’ve decided to start blogging!! Yahooooo….At last, after several attempts, I have finally started blogging. I’ll make it work this time. I have set a goal last week to sign up and start me own blog. Hmm..so I went to the office this morning, open up my computer, and the first web site that I visited was www.blogspopt.com.

So to those who had eagerly waited for this blog to be up..well I hope you’re satisfied, especially Azad! Aloo brother…now I’m officially a member of the ‘got nothing else to do but to read people’s blog’..hehehehehe. Hhhmm..come to think of it, I think this is going to be fun, I know some people are passionate about writing journal and stuff, and I know there are people who are addicted to it actually. To them, I say “get a life laaa”..hahaha…jangan maraa aa…this is my blog…I have the right to say all this in here kan? Tulaa..siapa suruh ajak aku masuk??

Welcome people to my blog. A blog of a “mentalist”..hehehe. This is my first entry and I’m sure this is not going to be the last. I hope this is the place where I can share my thoughts, feelings and experiences. I’m not that expressive actually. In fact when it comes to the matter of heart, I’m very good at hiding them. I don’t easily ‘discharge’ negative thoughts or feelings because to me thinking and being positive have always been a principle of life. Only those who are close to me know how emotional I could get, when it matters. If not, I would take things one at a time, just being happy go-lucky the way I have always been.

I’m dedicating this blog to all those who knows me, family and close friends especially. To my kids whose probably going to read this soon (Raidi, Abah expect you to start reading in a year’s time and Zidani, maybe 2-3years time, InsyAllah) I hope you boys will have fun reading Abah’s blog. Here, you boys can read about how Abah went through his life, how he faced challenges and more importantly you get to read about my principles and beliefs. Maybe you can learn a lesson or two from here and perhaps one day, you can start your own blog and we can share them together, exchanging comments and stuff. Just would like you boys to know, people who are ‘linked’ to this blog are Abah’s friends. They are my close friends and I treat them like brothers and sisters. I can depend my life on them. So feel free to leave a comment or two on their blog..hehehe…they have daughters you know…hehehee..Abah would be very happy and will always feel safe knowing that my sons are dating Abah’s friends daughter..yeah ritee…knowing each one of the fathers perangai in detail…hahahahaaa.

To my wife Ayu, your question whether I have a personal blog on the web, has been answered today. Yup, I don’t know how much I can write in here, but when I have time, I will post a journal two. No worries, me writing blogs doesn’t mean I don’t have a life to live and I will always have time for you and the family, Writing journals won’t take much of an effort. You just have to think about what to write, and how to translate thoughts into words. At the end of the day, you would be happy with my writings. I know I have not been very expressive to you, so maybe here, you can read my mind so that I don’t have to talk so much at home..hahahaha..just kidding. Why don’t you start a blog Ayu? So at home you don’t have to talk that much either..heheeh. So whenever I ask you how’s your day? You can say to me “Read my blog Mafiz..” hahaha..i wish. But good what??? More ‘action’ than words..emm..action speaks louder than words…haiyaa..as if I’m lack of ‘action’ at home…Mainntaaaiiiinnn.

To my friends, I feel like I’m part of a support group or something. A blog support group. Well, I will not be surprised when one day, there will be a day dedicated to bloggers, We can call it “Hari Bloggers”. Or maybe we can start a persatuan or something like that. Damn, if we’re still schooling, we would have started a club for this. Persatuan Bloggers. Main activity, everyday, all members are required to blog. And bila buat lawatan, kita boleh melawat Tugu, Tasik Perdana..or any historic places. Come back to school, members have to blog about how they feel about the trip, more importantly, they can write, critically or cynically about the subject matter, I think it would not only improve their writing skills, but it allows their brain to think critically. And maybe we’ll produce more poison letter writers..hehehehe

In my next posting, I will write more about my self and my family. Maybe you will get to know me more. Or maybe you’ll get even more confused about me. Hehehe…You know what people say, don’t’ believe everything that is written on the internet. Well, but this blog is a dedication, so whatever I write in here, it’s honest, coming straight from the bottom my heart. I’m actually glad that I started this blog thingy. I don’t know for how long I will be blogging, but I hope it would be long enough for me to write about my journey in this life. I choose to blog because I believe that each one of us have a unique journey to go through. No life in this world is a copy to another. This is one of the places where we can immortalize our unique experiences. I just hope my experience would be a fiesta of feelings because that makes our life even more interesting and fulfilling. Besides, I don’t want my blog site to be boring and dull. Life is a learning experience and I totally agree on this.

By blogging, we take people to places where only we have been. Somewhere only we know. I live life to the fullest, bending rules without breaking them and I learn best from my mistakes. Yup..I’ve made many mistakes actually. But they thought me to be more patience and wiser. Well, I think I’ll write more about this later. Right now, I just want to finish off this posting because I find it hard to stop laa…hahahahaha…Im going to get addicted soon….hahahaha…ok fellow bloggers…see ya.
