MAHA - Was it a success

I am not really enthuasist in agruculture but I dont reject the idea of being agripreneur someday, hopefully in the near future. I have heard numbers of stories from friends or acquaintance who have run the chicken farming and cow farming and generally said that the business is good, infact better than blue collar workers.

I can't deny that. Anything on this beautiful earth with massive will, will return with good result and often better. I have a chance chatted with one graduate farmer who plants melons and chillis using smart planting, a method that is almost similar to Iris's Smart Pot. According to him he was lucky that all his brother loaned him some money to start with the project. He went for a course conducted by Agriculture department to start the project. Everything went smooth untill the day he want to start the project. Even Bank Pertanian could not support his project for reason his project is a new technology and has not proven yet. Apara laaaaaaaaa ......... What the heck ........... how we can inculcate modern farming if the bank officer would not dare to support new modern technique. Hampeh betullllllllll. Melayu nak tolong Melayu pun tak bolehhhhhhhhh

Challenges and obstacles always in our path and I am glad that he endured all that and today he has succeeded. Now the question, the event, MAHA, was it a success?. If the ministry measure with the collection made during the exposition and the numbers of visitors of course its a success. However I think that the ministry should view from different angle to say if the event was a success. From now on ward, in addition to the revenue collected on the days of event and numbers of visitor, I want to see the numbers of modern farming increase to, say 100 farmers per year ....................... Malay farmers especially, and sales of local farmers from modern farming minimum at RM 300M a year. The sale from downstream activities increase to RM 200M a year. And as a proof, I want to listen to testimony of at least 50 successfull modern farmers in the next event. Then I call it a success.

Is it to much to ask for from the Ministry. If the problem comes from the bank, increase the fund made thru MARA. Moreover MARA is a unit for Bumiputra and they must help the bumiputra. Kalau nak harapkan bank, tokey mata sepet, big officers also mata sepet. I dont think they will give bumiputra grant to pursue any modern farming technique.

So do you think MAHA is success? At this moment I DARE SAY ITS NOT ENTIRELY SUCCESS. I challenge the ministry to prove that my opinion is wrong.

........... and the examination has over, for the 1st semesterOk

Kind of busy these few days. Symposium committee members request us to do some corrections to the full paper. Some comments from them need to be corrected before we make a presentation before Datuk JJ together with MOSTI senior officers as well as senior management from my company.

Our full paper were amongts the 18 papers that got thru to the final presentation days from 44 full paper submission. The price for winner is RM3k follow with RM2500 for runners up and RM1500 for 2nd runners up. To be frankly, we don't even dream of placing 1 to 5 since this is our 1st attemp. The rest of the speaker have experienced in presenting their paper many times. I just hoping my experienced in making a presentation to the Prime Minister of Kyrgystan will help to boost my confident............ although that will be different because I made a presentation thru my interpreter. However we are still very glad that our full paper has been picked for the symposium.

OK ................... back to the topic. Last Saturday is the last paper for this semester. For 3 week ends I got to endure all the hassle of being a student. Sometimes I just could not imagine how I have gone thru with all that. Before I plan to pursue my study, the very 1st question I asked to myself is whether or not I could stand the agony of studying to get that piece of paper call Master. After pondering a little while I said to myself, instead of do it to myself, why not do it to my kids. I want to be an example to the kids that we need to study if we want to have good result.

That is the intention. To be an example. So I got to feel the pain again so that my kids know that they also need to study if they want to excel.

So my 1st paper was Fundamental Environmental Engineering. This is the toughest subject. A lot of calculation; intergration and derivative. Man ................ I almost forgot a lot of thing. Luckily there are no Laplace and Fourier Transform. Or else I succumbed to the ground solving the calculation.......... yg nih mesti cekedes ketawakan kat aku. mentang mentang la dia tere math........ hahahahaha cammana la aku boleh abis belajar hahahahahaha. Anyway all the hardship paid off. I got A- for this subject.

My 2nd paper was Air Pollution Engineering. I reckoned this is the easiest paper. Hope that I could score with this paper. The lecturer huh ..................... is the best lecturer I have ever met. I tell you, if you plan to continue study in Enviromental Engineering or Enviromental Managament, get to Dr Luqman's class. He just SUPERB.

My 3rd paper was Environmental Helath Engineering. No calculation involved but I need to read like law student does. If someone could imagine the fact of 148 pages notes to answer for 4 question............ ahhhhhhhhhhh This is not story book whereby you can just read one time and pass through the chapter. This subject require me to go through several times before one idea sink to my brain. Hampeh juga subjek nih. This one.............I am not really sure if I could get good score. Just hoping it will.

After the examination, the class off for 6 weeks. Phewwwwwwwwwwww besttttttttttttttttt

.......and finally its confirm, I am A Section Head of a module

A lot of things have happened the last few of days. My car was hit from behind, done with second final semester examination and now preparing for the last paper (I'll make another entry on this), preparing slide presentation for the symposium that going to happen on December ........ and nothing compares to this, Restructuring of the whole organization.

I have mentioned before that I am at the same grade with my immediate supervisor and she is running the unit now. That is until yesterday, because I have been transfered to another module and lead a new combine structure of Testing Group, Quality & Reliablility and Safety ....... Phewwwwwww....... The last structure, The Testing Group stands on its own but now has been put into one unit and I am going to handle them. This is massive responsibility that I have to shoulder.

Promotion ............ No ............. I am still holding the same grade but now with exxxxxtraaaaaa responsibility. Previously I only back up my superior in the event when she (Mem Kecik) is out of office. Like I said before, I like the money I got with the responsibility that I hold previously and now with the same salary I'll be holding extra burden. That is why some of you have not seeing me at Joe's Tag Board.

The challenges that the Operation Director (Mem Besar) told me is to working with the people from the Test Group. Most of them are very senior compares to me with experience more than 12 years in the unit. I am in the 10th year of service and come from different working backgorund. Well ........... They also have similar position with me. The old me would definitely luv thissssssssss, same grade and with less burden. Nevertheless Mem Besar has put some words that has changed my perspective. 'Do you know why you will lead this group R421?' She asked me last Friday. Me ......... silence. 'Your name has been vote by all managers to take up this responsibility. We believe that you are capable of leading the unit' She continued......... 'We found you have some edge over ****** from Test Group' ................ and the conversation goes on until almost 2 hours.

Of course I am very glad that they trust me that I can lead. Of course I am glad that they know that I have extra talent to lead people. Of course I am glad that now I have the Title, even with the same grade I am holding now. And most important is I am glad that all the managers supported me to lead the new structred unit. And the best part is, the most senior in my new unit ready to support me................. although some one must hurt for not getting the position.

If you ask me again whether its a promotion, I called it SOFT PROMOTION. The new me will embrace the new oppurtunity and prove to all that their choice is right.

Thanks managerssssssssssssssss

GEGAR Eidul Fitri - The Day

I dare not say it is a night to remember as I believe that this reban ayam family will become bigger and bigger......... Nevertheless its is an event that lots of tagger longing to come, thus far.

It is a history. A new record has been set that the event has successfully attracted many taggers to a get-together event called GEGAR at my house. Amongst new faces that come to this event are Jokonton who bring his wife as company, Ila with his sporting husband (her husband took video that night), MM with her husband and daughter, and Jijo with his family. The bachelors are Cekedes yg memang very the kurus, Lis with her sister (elder sister if I can recall that). The new anak anak dara that join the GEGAR are, Red Car, Y't, Itik Putih with her ehem ehem spouse.

Familiar faces that have not missed the gathering are, Ain a.k.a Angah with her 'husband to be in very near future' Wan, Photogenic Queen Delinn, Peace Signed UTM Student Ima, Cek Mek Molek Zure, News faster than internet Sempoi with her family, Bilal with her macho but not hancho husband and her daughters, Par the ex X'Man, Alangz the most available bachelor in tag (saham makin naik wo lepas dua kali masak utk majlis gathering)and forget not Mic Queen and Ketawa tak hengat Fara, the sonsy Coco and last but not least is Ratu Jorok cum Minah Blur Anne from Singapore. ........... huhuhu sorry I forgot about kong and his family. Rendang ko memang sedap la Kong.

Special appearance is Aunty N who purposely choosed the date to send Kak Long to MMU on Sunday so that she could join the gathering all the way from Penang.

Other Guest is Fauzi, Alangz housemate who I reckon could steal the lime light of the night if he could stay a lot longer.

absentees are Ana, Mat Metal, Yummy who lost the way to my house, Xoxo who has passed the duit raya to kids via Arc, Wakame who got fever and Aunty Yan which I understood having food poisoning.

The night was cold with rain showering outside the house but the heat under the roof temperate every time they laughed. Can someone picture when more than 12 women chat, gossiping and telling stories follow with laugher. Huhhhh the sound you can listen till the end of the block ....... hahahahahahaha. And you guys shall not worry because my neighbours are cool. Its Eid and they understand. Eemmmmmmmmmm and now I shall think ways of how I can have more money so that I could get bigger house with bigger space with ample parking space.

And there also moment in sorrow upon receiving duit Raya from Joe and Pakdee. Yes we have not met with both of them who lives abroad and yet they are very closed to us. Very dear and seems like the bonding is much tighter than family. These are two guys who made taggers days. From depressed at work to happiness, from one being lonely but now having many friends from one being stressed and later become released. Deep inside our heart we wish someday, that is very near in the future we could make this gathering merrier by having these two gentlemen around us. Joe and Pak Dee we thank you so much.

So who is the Queen and the King of the night. The Competition are tough with Alangz and Zure were trying to steal the lime light from Ain and Wan. However I reckon the award shall go to Ain and Wan because they donned the macth colour for their Baju Kurung and Baju Melayu respectively.

The most bachelor award goes to Alangz after his housemate withdrawn from the competition for not staying much longer.

Raja makan goes to my son Azfar hahahahahahaha

Ratu makan tarak after most of them busy chatting and gossiping

Best Cameraman goes to Ila's Husband. Saper la nama ku boleh lupa pulak (Dont forget to burn the CD and we can send the CD to US and Canada).

Tambahan lagi anugerah: Perampok hebat 2nd runner up Fara, 1st runner up Bilal and the winner Sempoii

Basically the gathering was awesome but I tell you friend that the best is yet to come. The best will mark and all time history whereby that two gentlemen join us on the gathering.

To all. TQ for making the event a success.

GEGAR Eidul Fitri

5th Ocbober 2006 will mark a new history. A history that Joe's circle of friends would never imagined. This is the day when a record of 40 pupils would GEGAR my house for the Hari Raya Gathering. I myself had never imagined to be a host of this crowd.

Of course I had had made several open house with more than 40 people coming in to my house but then people comes and go in a 3hrs time..... So you can't see that crowd. And this occasion is different. Most of the taggers will come almost at the same time, simply because they want to chat like nobody business like they always did in the tag board.

I must warn by neighbours of the sound that might come from my home. (Can I warn the taggers .......... knock it off ..... they will never listen to the warning hehehehe). So neighbour, excuse us. Hari Raya maaaaaaaa. hehehehehe.

All taggers will bring pot-luck like we did on last iftar. I just don't want to think right now where to put all the pot luck. With 15 pupils last Iftar have full the 8-Seat table with food and now with 40 pupils ................... arghhhhhhhhhh. Tak dapat nak fikirkan sekarang.

To all, can't wait the day ............ see you on Sunday.

By the way, I will have final semester examination on Sunday and only over at 4.30pm. Kalau aku sampai rumah lambat sket, please excuse me.

Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir dan Batin

I reckon its not too late to wish everybody Happy Eid. I hope everybody take this moment to visit relatives and friends and ask for forgiveness for any wrong doing.

As far as I am concern, you guys have not doing anything wrong to me ........ and if I ever have made wrong to you or probably have hurt you, I seek forgiveness from you.

During this festive season, I always glad that I am local, though many people think that celebrating Eid in KL isn't merrier with those folks in kampung. I believe things that make things merrier is in the state of mind. We think happy and we happy.

Although I once feel bored when I was a kid because all the friends return to kampung and I celebrating with 2 or 3 friends, we tried to make our things merrier. After visiting friends that still live nearby we usually go to KL and watch movie.

I can still vividly remember when I was 12 I watched movie with my neighbour in REX, accross the road of Komplek Kotaraya Those years cineplex have not exist and we watched movie in a big theatre hall. Picture this, in a big hall that usually accomodate 700 people only not more than 50 people watch movies on that 1st or 2nd Hari Raya. Hahahahahahaha we are the Raja.

My mom will get mad to me if she ever knew that I watched movie in KL with my friends. My neighbour was 15 when he led us to KL. We ride Tong Fong Bus and we headed to KL without the knowledge of our parent. What to do maaaaaaaa. We want to make things merrier maaaaaaaaa.

The road in KL, wallaaaaaaaaaaaaa, silent and believe me we can lay on the road for hours without been interrupted by vehicles. Sunyi Sepi hahahaha...... we are the Raja.

I wed Arc and I am glad she also local. Most folks took time to discuss which kampung to visit first, we glad that we can visit both each of them in no longer time. The distance is almost 20 minutes driving distance and its no troublesome. Furthermore, jalan sunyi and we can reach to the places we want to go in no longer time. I AM GLAD. THANKS ALMiGHTY GOD.
