Want to become motorbike rider?

Almost 2 years become motorbike rider, riding motorbike almost become my daily repeated ‘job’. There are pros & cons of riding motorbike, pros is can reach destination faster & easier & cons is accident can happen easier. Noticed that after shifted to new house, distance between my house & office is very short … is just around 10 minutes journey. For petrol, no need to say …. is getting more cheaper for me. Last time stay at Kota Damansara, from Kota Damansara to office is around 30 minutes. For petrol is almost RM1 to RM1.20 daily. So is around RM6 per week (is just counted for home to office & office to home, not going any place). If going somewhere else using motorbike, then 1 week has to spend more then RM8.

But something has changed after living here; distance between home & office is just around 10 minutes journey. Again no need to say for spend on petrol, is cheaper & cheaper for me. Is just RM3 per week!!! (Monday to Friday from home to office & office to home daily) … This is save a lot. Last week have nothing to do so tried to do this for one week. Pam petrol on Monday for RM3, on Friday meter show at E (empty). Is a bit surprised.

So for you guys, what you think? Is cheap or expensive? Want to become motor rider? Haha…

A meaningful song special for you & your mom.

After shifted back to Impian Baiduri, most of the time after working hour will be stay at home. Mandarin News from RTM TV2 is a must watch news for me since I was child till now. But if there is an important things have to do first then I can’t watch lar.

Started from last month I noticed that before & after the Mandarin News (8p.m) there would be a song that repeated daily. The song is sung by a kid name by Rashid A. Bhikha & also a group of child. The song is English song but is for Islamic cause part of the song got talk about Allah. Anyway, the whole song is talked about our mother, how she take care of us when we’re a child. It’s really a meaningful song. Surprisingly, both of my nephews also know how to sing.

Even part of the song got mix with Islamic but I was looking for the CD. At last, last weekend I was working at PWTC for PC fair. When I past by a hall in PWTC, there is an Islamic fair. By the way, I heard this song is played. Then I walked in to the fair, most of the people is Muslim. I straightaway follow the song direction. Yes! I found it. I asked the promoter how much is that, she said RM18. Is too expensive for me. She asked me am I a Muslim? I said no. Maybe my face looks like Malay. She asked me again do I like this song, and then I answered yes cause everyday I was listening to it & is really meaningful. I believe later RTM will stop repeating the song. So I asked her to less the price. 10% was given. But price almost the same. No choice. Paid already then continue to the PC fair.

After back to home, I told my nephews I bought the CD and they’re so happy. I got the lyrics of the song. Yours can try to read it, is really meaningful. Enjoy!

Song Title: Your Mother (Yusuf Islam)
Singer: Rashid A. Bhikha

Who should I give my love to?
My respect and my honour to?
Who should I pay good mind to – after Allah
And Rasul-Allah?
Comes your mother,
Who next? Your mother,
Who next? Your mother,
And then your father

Cause who used to hold you
And clean you and clothe you?
Who used to feed you
And always be with you?
When you were sick, stay up all night
Holding you tight?
That’s right no other, my mother

Who should I take good care of,
Giving all my love?
Who should I think the most of – after Allah
And Rasul-Allah?
Comes your mother,
Who next? Your mother,
Who next? Your mother,
And then your father

Cause who used to hear you
Before you could talk?
Who used to hold you
Before you could walk?
And when you fell, who’d pick you up?
Clean your cut?
No one but, you mother, my mother

Who should I stay right close to?
Listen most to?
Never say no to – after Allah
And Rasul-Allah?
Comes your mother,
Who next? Your mother,
Who next? Your mother,
And then your father

Cause who used to hug you
And buy you new clothes?
Comb your hair and blow your nose?
And when you cried who wiped your tears?
Knows your fears? Who really cares?
My mother

Say al-hamdu li-Allah
Thank you Allah
Thank you Allah for my mother

**Yours can listen to the song from RTM TV1 or TV2, the time is around 7.55 p.m. (before Mandarin News) and 8.30 p.m. (after Mandarin News). **

John Titor - a time traveler

Last Sunday was doing month end closing for my company. After entered to office, straight away on the radio listened to FM 98.8. Started from 6 a.m. until 10.30 p.m. non-stops on the radio. In between around 7 p.m. was listened to one of the show called R662 未 解 之 谜 . This show is talked about those things that happened before this cannot be solved or cannot find the cause. It is really an interesting topic for me. Part of the show was talked about John Titor. Who is John Titor? Most of you sure will ask like this.

According to the explanation of the DJ & also some researched, he was a time traveler from the year 2036. He was sent to year 1975 to get a computer system IBM 5100 and take it back to 2036 to debug some error that occurs at his year 2036 using a machine call Time Machine. A lot of things happened to him at his “world”. He said that he was born at year 1998 & when the time he travel to the world that we are having now is the year 2000. He said he meets back himself & he was 2 years old and he saw his family too. He also gives some prediction for the future including World War III. Not sure whether is true or not. But what I thinking was something is not logic. Anyway just want to share this interesting topic with you guys. For further information, just go to this site: - http://www.johntitor.com/

All the story is in the side, believe or not? Up to you…. haha. Just wait for the time come lar, see whether all those predictions will become real or not.

My little bit flash back of interview & also my company

Working, working & working, everyday is working except Saturday & Sunday or public holiday. Part of my daily time is working. Why want to work? To earn money for survive lor.

Working at my company 1 year & 10 months already, almost 2 years & this is my first job. Have learn a lot of things especially I have gain my working experiences here. All started from zero. Have gone through a lot of companies & agency, finally Agency GMP called me for an interview at my company that I am working now. Position is IT Assistant. Post name sound good but actually not. Before started my jobs here, a lot of questions came out from my mind… will I survive long in this company? the colleagues is friendly or not?…and etc. At the end die die went to interview. Why I said die die cause had look for job almost 4 months. Family members is worried about me didn’t get any job. So no matter what happened, must get this job. So went to interview. Our IT department is under account department, so 2 bosses is interviewed. The account department boss chose me. This boss is a bit nice lar (but he resigned already), chat with me & gone through my profile & every things. Asked a little bit questions only. I looked at his face he is so so tired cause he had interviewed for a lot of people before interview with me. His face like no mood so tired. There are a lot of candidates called for interview. I am so lucky cause I am second last to called for interviewed. According to my boss, he said is around 100 people interview. Is really a lot. After the interview, he told me they would call me for second interview if I were chosen. So feeling like no hope at all. Waited for almost 1 week still no one call me, is a bit worried & pressured cause of family members. So everyday I called up to my company asked about the results. At the end, result was I been chosen for second interview. Yeah! The second interview is a bit pressure cause 2 bosses interviewed together. Very scared. This interview was not lucky as last time. A lot of questions have been asked by both of them. But I can manage to answer those questions. They asked me to wait for the result. Waited for around 1 week, HR called up said I was chosen for the position. **phiew** I was asked to work at the following week.

The first day when I stepped in to the company, feel the company is very big company. Some one from my department came out & welcomes me to my department. After that took me to walk around, meet other colleagues from other department. After that, back to my department, sit there nothing to do. Feel so boring, no one assists me to do thing. After few days, something assigned by my boss. He asked me to installed software to users pc. Nothing much works to do at that time. I though the position is so relax. After 1 week, a girl joined to our department. Both of us were given a little bit of works to do. But after 2 months passed by, more works is coming in. Is like non-stop. Cannot break. The first 3 months no month end closing for us. But started from the 4th month, both of us started for company closing. A lot of things have to learn, quiet busy. But when the time there is nothing to do, u will bore until crazy. So this kind of working style continues until now. For branches, most of the users are so nice. They always chat with me. Whenever we got any problem we share it out. I always talked sweet sweet words to make them happy. The branch that I most like to chat with is Penang, Malacca, Kuching, Alor Setar, Seremban & Johor Bahru. Most of them always joke with me. But for internal staff or colleagues, some can joke & some cannot. Some is so serious until see him/her in front, run at behind…. hahaha. Working at here is not too happy. For my department, I just can say them is just ok.

One time I have thinks of want to resign, I keep on finding for job. I had sent resume to bank & others companies. But until now no reply at all. So is a bit sad. Last 2 weeks, I had met up with Fei for yum cha. He was asking me want to join his department or not cause his department is looking for people. So I sent CV to him & he helped me to pass up to his manager. At least now I got little bit of hope & also not forgot to thanks fei to help me pass up the CV. I really hope Fei company will call up or maybe other companies will call up. Waiting & waiting now….
