Around D World I Did Go ........ 2008

It has been a very demanding and challenging 3 and half years at IHI Alliance. No regrets and no looking back. As usual, somtimes thru our journey of life, we would need to make sacrifices in order for us to move forward.

But looking back to d 3.5 years, I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to travel, visit and learn the different cultures throughout the global. Although d journey has yet to complete but I am still honoured to have the privilage to serve the company, religion and mostly the entire human race.

Here are some of my memories and freinds I made during the exciting and sometimes gruesome journeys.

This was my first and last international assignment with Carrefour Malaysia. I was quite nervous as I had to present  a paper for international audience.

This was my first assignment with IHI Alliance. Of all countries, I get to visit Brunei. Kinda laid back community and not much night life. (Well basically zero.....) One experience I will not forget about Brunei was the difficulties of getting a cab to move around. What an experience when the cab driver agreed to fetch us (me with Hafiz and Sharifah) ditched us.......

Hong Kong was my next destination. Overall very amusing and nice. Of course Halal food is like a gem here but we managed (me and my bos, Mr. Darhim). Nina of Intertek Indonesia has been very hospitable to us and followed us to shop at the night market. My surprise about Hong Kong was that their taxi cab drivers could not (or would not) speak English. Weird, ain't it? And my only "not-so-pleasant" experience here was when I was stopped by the Hong Kong Immigration officer before departure as she could not figure out my last name and my picture in the passport and actual differ. I had a goatee then while my picture showed a clean shaven image. Damm!!! Was I pissed of ...... Well, you guys know me and my 9 personalities @ Mr Mood Swing .... Hahahaha

Well I guess that was it for 2008. I will share with you more soon ....

Meniti Hari Sambil Ber Jiwang Karat ..... episod 28

Laaaa.....................

"No way this is happening !!"

"Apa U ni?" tanya Harr ...

"Cuba U tgk dalam ni. U x cakap pun yang kat resort ni letrik pun x der."

"Don't tell me, bayar mahal2 dorang sediakan katil jer." bebel aq seterusnya.

"Alaaaa U ni, small matter camni ni pun U nak bising2 ke? I dah malas nak dengar lerr."

"WHAT ????" "Please tell me I am not hearing this!"
"F*@k THIS !!!!!!!!!!!
"Kalau I tau camni ler, x hingin I nak datang."

"Laa, yang U nak hangin x tentu pasal ni awat?  Bukan nya teruk sngt pun. Kalau U nak bising2 camni, apa kata U g balik jer laa" ujar Harr pada aq.

Berderau darah aq bila aq dengar Harr berkata kata. Apa lagi, bertambah hangin ler aq. Dek kerana terlampau marah, aq pun trus storm out from d room. Tapi x jauh mana pun pergi coz kat blakang chalet tu hutan belantara dan d hadapan aq lak, terbentang lautan seluas luasnya.

Rasa menyesal pun ada jugak aq ke Pulau Perhentian ni. Tapi nak wat camner kannn. Relationship aq ngan Harr dah mula goyah.Asyik dok perang jerr. Cuma ngan Harr ni kalau fight-fight x ada thrill. Korang nak tau apasal? Coz dia akan diam seribu bahasa. Sekali pandang, orang akan kata aq giler coz mcm cakap sorang2.

Tapi yg wat aq paling terkezut kali ni, Harr dah brani bersuara ngan aq. Dari mana lak dtg Tok Sheikh dia? X pernah cam ni. Dalam banyak2 tempat dia nak bersuara, kat tempat terpencil ni ler jugak. Ntah2 makhluk mana ler pulak yg merasuk badan dia.

Hisshhhhh ! Memerang segala bulu kat badan aq ni. Dek kerana hangin koos koos yg masih ada dlm badan, aq pun trus kuar dari chalet and berjalan d pantai sambil menikmati angin sepoi2 bahasa Mandarin yg bertiup memenuhi keadaan sekeliling.
Tujuan aq dtg Perhentian ni pun dek kerana dia tapi kalau nak dtg jauh2 nak gaduh, baek aq gaduh jer kat Penang tu, tak membazir duit. So aq bertekad, walau apa sekali akan terjadi, aq akan mengawal emosi aq agar ia tidak bertukar menjadi lautan yg bergelora. Walaupun susah bagai, namun tetap aq akan mencuba.

Lepas dari insiden itu, percutian Harr ngan aq agak cam biasa2 jer. Masing2 wat aktiviti sendiri. Harr busy ngan snorkelling dia and aq lak busy ngan cuba berjinak jinak dalam bidang penulisan. Walaupun kami berada d Perhentian cuma selama 4 hari, namu aq rasakan bagai 4000 tahun. Memang dah x sabar nak menjejak kan kaki d bumi tanah besar.

Dalam perjalanan pulang pun masing2 hanya berdiam seribu bahasa. Seolah olah ada permata yg bertakung d bawah lelangit. Sepatah d tanya, maka sepatah la d jawab. Since aq bz melayan diri sendiri sambil mengelamun jauh, tetibe Harr bersuara,

"U, I ada bende nak cakap ngan U ni. I harap U tak akan marah k."
Woit! Lain macam jer bunyi intonasi suara Harr.

"U janji ....." kata Harr lagik

"Oka laa I janji." jawab aq ringkas.

Belum sempat aq mendengar soalan yg aq tunggu2 kan dari Harr, terdengar satu dentuman yg kuat d belakang aq !!!!!!!

..... bersambung .......

Be True .......

Someone said to me the other day that I am too blunt.

Am I ? Of course ......

I guess the years I spent in the States have a continous effect on how I carry myself throughout the years.

But you guys wanna know something? I like being blunt coz then, I don't have to be pretentious.
You get what you see (as they always said it !!!!!!!)

But then the culture different requires you to be more diplomatic as not everyone you encounter can accept you the way you are. This is where I strongly feel that you need to make a minute adjustment in your daily dealings with other human species in order to ensure they do not "terasa hati".

As you progresses through your journey of life, you will however learn to adapt to your current environment and insyallah, hoping for the smooth and best journey ever. I know I had to. You do not and ever want to hurt the feelings of those closest to you; be it your mom, family, "special fren", your staff and also your business partner.

All in all, analyze and evaluate each situation differently and with Allah guidance, insyallah I will prevail in the end.

But most important, I MUST and ALWAYS be truthful to me, my beliefs and my destiny .......

Thank You ........

Believe it or not, eyeStudio Photography is 3 months old. How time flies. Started operations since September 15 and officially opened our doors last October 1, 2011.

I, well both me and Aizul did not expect the business to boom this fast but it did. Scary, ain't it? Without full blast promotion, we have managed to garner interest not just among our freinds but the public as well. For that I am very grateful to all the support staff that helped us to where we are today. (regardless that some have left the organization, YES, some have left even at this very young stage of the studio.)

Each and everyone of them has contributed in one way or another, be it planning, marketing, design, photography, editing and the administration. For all those contribution, both Aizul and I shall forever appreciate your efforts.

Now, with 2012 looming just around the corner, we are looking forward for a better and more prosperous year as we need to get a niche for both eyeStudio and Eye Development. There are a lot of programs in the pipeline and now it is our initiative to turn it into reality and of course to see the "CHER CHING" rolling in. (Hahahaha .......)

Look out for what has been planned. Just don't want you guys to miss out on any GREAT deals both eyeStudio and Eye Development has to offer. So, be on alert and support us and for those who has, from the bottom of my heart (and I'm sure Aizul's too)

THANK YOU

Benci Aq Bila Soalan cepu Emas D Tujukan Kat Aq .....

Pejam celik Pejam celik dah bulan Disember. Sekejap aje kann. Rasa macam baru smalam sambut tahun baru. Bulan Disember ni biase ler ngan kenduri kendara nya.

Sebagaimana biasa, aq mmg jarang sekali nak g kenduri2 nii. Bukannya anti sosial atau x tau hidup bermasyarakat tapi mmg aq x suka sejak dari azali lagik.

Namun gitu, adaler jugak aq menjenguk kat kenduri kawen "some" of my frens. Satg kalau aq x tunjuk muka, d kata nya pulak aq ni sombong.

As expected, bila dah pg kenduri ni semua, routine dia cam biasa arrr. Makan nasi and hoping aq x dapat migrane, berjumpa ngan kawan2 lama (sort of reunion ler jugak since everyone pun bz ngan kerjaya masing2).

Then came d SOALAN CEPU EMAS !!!!!!!!!!

Kwang Kwang Kwang

"Ko ni bile lagi?

Dah menduda lama sangat tu?

Nanti bila sakit, sape lak yg nak jaga makan minum ko?"

Terus berdesing telinge aq, tapi x leh nak marah2. Nak tau nape? Coz yg tanya tu selalunya yg dah lama makan garam dari aq, so kene ler respect. Apa yg aq bole buat ialah sekadar mengetip gigi dan melemparkan senyuman kambing aq yg menawan tu .. Hahahahaha

Walaupun dah berkali kali soalan ini d tujukan pada aq, ia tetap memebri satu hirisan d sanubari aq.

So !!!!! Now U guys know why I avoid weddings .....................................................................
