when the gravity pulls you down
i went to Rumah Ilham for the "Prinsip Akaun" tutorial class for those boys there. And FYI, the house is located next to a steep road..kire macam jalan on the hill-slope..parked my car there..the slope is nearly 45 degrees of steepness rasenye..
pulled my handbrake, and went in to join the class.
30 minutes later, Azam pulled me out and asked, "bET, ko bawak Gen.2 ke?" So i replied yes. Then Azam asked me,"Ko tarik tak handbrake ko?"...sensing the awkwardness of this question, rushed outside to see what happened..
Down the road, with few inches from the road divider and gate, is the new location of WiMP..one Pak Haji told me, "memula nampak keta tu begerak, pelik jugak, siapa yang drive tak bukak lampu..alih-alih dia turun sampai tgh jalan.nasib baik tak langgar pagar belakang tu"...
checked WiMP, and luckily my dear suffered no scratches..it would be a bad omen for me should WiMP had more than one scratch per week..
So i removed WiMP, and parked it on jalan yang rata pulak..scribbled down a small note " to check handbrakes during next car-service"

"Firasat" by Marcelle
desau angin meniupkan namamu
tubuhku terpaku
semalam bulan sabit melengkungkan senyummu
tabur bintang serupa kilau auramu
aku pun sadari ku segera berlari
[chorus:]
cepat pulang cepat kembali
jangan pergi lagi
firasatku ingin kau 'ntuk
cepat pulang cepat kembali
jangan pergi lagi
akhirnya bagai sungai yang mendamba samudera
kutahu pasti kemana kan ku bermuara
semoga ada waktu
sayangku ku percaya alam pun berbahasa
ada makna di sebalik semua pertanda
firasat ini rasa rindukah ataukah tanda bahaya
aku tak peduli ku terus berlari
[chorus]
dan lihatlah sayang
hujan terus membasahi
seolah ku berair mata
[chorus]
aku pun sadari
engkaulah firasat hati
dedicate this song to people out there...am missing you all
TEC Career Seminar 2005 -- what PROMUDA entourage did
PROMUDA entourage:- alfian, lolyta,oza, yuz, hasli, inas, asma, ca'aint,,zura, farih, zehan, aizan, nai, zieanna, anang, noreen and me
PROMUDA was invited to give talks and workshops for TEC 2005 career seminar. Thru UTP co-ordinator, Mr Anang Hudaya, the news went wild to the tekad-selangor-coaches. From a simple request ("needed several volunteers"), a group of coaches, lead by Ms Aizan, the request received good replies. "Several" turned out to be 15++ volunteers.
Two weeks before the event, Ms Aizan started to have "star-wars" visions of how the talks should be..Inspired by Mrs Adita's last year performance,she decided to raise the bar higher. Looking at the volunteers list, which interestingly has people coming from different educational and career background, she fusioned everything into one "crazy" idea.The supposed to be "Appearance and Desired Personality; Professionals In the Making" workshop, was revamped into " The Search for the Ultimate YoungProfessionals 2005 " show. Instead of young professionals just standing in front of the participants and start talking, they entered the room ala models styles. Complete with cat-walks and entrance songs. The students weret otally caught off guard. This is something they never expect from young professionals.
During BBQ session, it was very dis-heartening to see that my fellow students did not take the opportunities to meet up and mix around with these young professionals. It was the other way around. Some of us planned to go to the famous clock tower, when one of us said "why don't we go around and meet the students first?" The rest is history. Indeed the students had lots of things to ask.
The next day, it was the slot for "Applying Jobs, Facing an Interview" talk. Again, we twisted a bit on the presentation style. Mr Harman (BoB) gave a brief but informative talk on preparing resume. Then Mr Azam, MsAzura (oZa), Ms Inas, and Mr Yuz presented a short skit on the DOs and DON'Ts during interview. The participants learned lots of things from it. Especially the DON'Ts. Then, the young professionals and participants had a group discussion and experience-sharing session.Before lunch, the participants were treated with Mrs Adita's talk on "Women working in Male gender dominated area". It was interesting, as she prepared a montage, short video and short karaoke session. Once again, Mrs Adita out-do her previous performance. Then Ms Azura presented a talk about "Managing Your Boss". The talk enlightened both the participants and the young professionals. The fact that she sang at the end of her crowd, and the students even sang along with her, and that made the presentation interesting and memorable.

promuda-TEC career seminar 2005
me had a blast weekend :) the seminar was good..i am hoping very much that what the entourage talked and presented really worth for what my fellow UTP-ians paid..if i am not mistaken, they paid around rm130..to the organiser actually, not to us..we were paid none, bcoz we volunteered to participate in the event.
it is interesting, to be able to see the world through not one, not two, but three perspective..1) student's perspective, 2) young professional's perspective, 3) organiser's perspective...learned lots of things..
the interesting part is that most of the participants are like 2nd year-3rd year students..where are the final year students?? busy preparing their wedding plan, izzit? nevertheless, it shows that UTPians now are serious in preparing themselves for the career world (i mean, the juniors laa...yang senior2 tuh, cam hampeh la plak)
last year i followed TEC career seminar as participants, and this year as part of PROMUDA team..
talking about PROMUDA members, had a fun time with them...namely alfian, nai, ca'aint, ziana, adita, hasli, aizan, zehan, farih, yuz, zura, lolyta, inas, oza, bob, asma, noreen, anang, and azam...what we did? well,i leave it to others to write about that :)
tapi kann..nak cerita gak sikit about us..basically, "we" are tech-yuppies..most of us gi memana musti bawak laptop, digital camera (loly's the best)...kire if we all nk buat conference, biler2 masa je bleh buat hehehe..and when ramai org bawak camera, maka banyaklah gambar2 :p
that's it..will post here should there be any one of us that decided to write a report on what we have done :P
p/s: i am getting hooked to peterpan "mungkin nanti" and marcell's "firasat"

T.G.I.F :p
morning mumbles...
it's friday, the time is 12:53pm and i'm feeling very down.started the day early in the morning, around 4.30 am..then, as usual, triedto have a short nap, which turned into a 2 and a half hours sleepingsession..near 7am baru terbangun..siap-siap pegi kerja dgan kelam kabutnye, n deep inside me, felt somethingnot good is to happen..around 7.35am, the feeling that i felt became real.iaccidentally ter-langgar a black CRV's bumper. luckily time tu the carswere slow..so, kire xde laa teruk sgt impact..just the CRV's bumper kemeksikit..(alaa,kna langgar pon bukannya dgn lori balak..Gen.2 je..) luckilythe driver is not the type of "leceh" to deal. gave her my number (althoshe seemed like "can believe haa, this people?")...so..i am meeting her tonite, to pay for the damage been done..*sigh* nasibbaik rm300 je,,if more...*speechless*hopefully, the rest of the day promises good things for me..
evening mumbles..
nothing much..except after friday prayers, everything seems like everything's going to be okay..
night mumbles...
met the owner of the CRV that i ter-langgar the bumper...her name is Stephanie, and i am glad dat i bumped her car's bumper..she was very understanding and not-so-leceh...her husband is lucky to have her as wife...she even tried to explain to me dat she didn't change the bumper, just ask some mechanics to adjust it back to its real position..altho i had to pay rm300, but for me it's worth it..bcoz at least she is the type of "victim" yang tak senang marah2 n berleter..(altho when i met her, she seemed like intimidated with me..haha..with all this cases of from simple bumper accident that cause death, who wouldn't?)
anyway, i used rm300 from my monthly allowance, that luckily i just received earlier in the morning..so, rm200 was still in my pocket..."was"..bcoz i spent the blnce to buy some "gadgets"..compact flash card and chargeable batteries.
thanx stephanie, for showing me again the power of "tidak berhati-hati" and "baik hati" :)

^^ Technology, Education, & Career Week 2005 ^^
it was the day..the day itself..the itself day..*whoaa.what am i blabbering?* on the 5th April 2005, TEC 2005 is to be launched by the deputy trade minister..*sigh* i just cannot remember his name..*dush-dush*
went early in the afternoon..11 sumthing :)...pusing2 exhibition centre..but b4 dat, went to cafe v4, to meet fatin, wan anas n nina..instead, met the whole geng of fatin's fren..talked a bit about internship..bla-bla-bla..then had a chat with kak mar..one of our compatriots for TEC 2004..the call has been answered, for the alliance is never to be forgotten..
nothing much to do at the exhibition centre, coz i had pusing2 the nite b4..but still buat2 macam interested kat sumer booth..hehe..made 2 pit-stops..1st was at Mitco booth..buat ape laie..kacau kak Maz laa..then re-fuel at UTP booth..had a chit-chat session with Mr ANang..n as usual, met lots of peeps..borak2..
the FAQs for the day were : "ko bukan praktikal ke?", "ko tak keja ke?" <--duh! dah aku ade kat UTP, maksudnya diriku ini tak keja laa sayang oi.."oi, makin gemuk nampak?"...paling best is from acab, "bet, ko makin hensem laa" *hummpfh.hummppfh* hahahaha
n aku ni biasalaa..asal jumpe pompuan yg agak2 kenal je, musti nk kacau :p i was like kinda abandoned nina, zak n few others bile jumpe budak2 perempuan..hehehe..kata nak join "marketing" field!
had lunch with nina, fatin, ira, anas, nik, amirul, me, myself and i...
the launching was ok laa..the gimmick is sooo not convincing..nevertheless, the VIP did delivered a good unwritten speech..he totally x baca his speech script..ksian to those protocol peeps yang kna buat speech for him..hahaha..tulaa..sape suroh buat tak elok..
some of the points from VIP's speech:-
- the importance of adjusting to changes in all aspects of life
- AFTA and Free Trade Act - how it will affect us in short and long term
- our characteristics influences our performances
mase lepak2 dkat exhibition centre, some juniors asked us to submit our names for the lucky draw..so, decided that to play along, to make the event more cheerful..kata datang dari jauh sebab nak bagi support~..then me n my peeps pegi laa lepak kat gerai ayamas kat area bedekatan..baru je nak oder air, heard on the PA system.."AZAMIL IZZAT 3542"..whoa~ palagos, tros lari gi committee booth to claim the prize..sampai sane, most student tak puas hati.."how can? dia tgh practical" hahaha..who cares..i won a CANON PowerShot A40 model..old model jer..2.0 megapixels jerr..so, i can delete digital camera from my wishlist then :)
met aysha just before pegi dinner..hahaha..saje je nak kata good-bye, lepas ni another 3-4 months x gaduh ngan dia muaahhahahahaahaha
Malam, had dinner with kak maz, hafiz "baby", kak joan (UTPians working with MITCO), poji n his gf, and me..kak maz treated us..makan sedap gak..sotong tepung goreng, kailan sambal belacan, tomyam campur, nasi se-mangkuk..minum air free lagi..thanx Maz..lenkali bleh blanje saye kat MO plak ek :)
after dinner, gang-ed with aspa, redza n fahmie (btw, fahmie is our official HERO-REMAJA guy)..went to Kedai Hijau to watch WWE RAW..damn..rase cam re-union plak..tapi x cukop korum laa malam tuh..kimi xde...*sigh* windu aa plak tgk wrestling ramai-ramai...tgk kat umah dahla slalu x dapat je, then asek tetido plak tuh..huhuhu
come midnite, i had to go..lepas mintak aspa blanje minum, me masuk keta WiMP, then vrooooom back all the way to Subang Jaya...
reached home around 2 something..quite late jugak laa...nak dekat pukol 3...surf intenet kejap..somehow, teringat at my friend kat US...layan feylong kejap...pastu tido~
nasib baik pagi tadi had to go to vendor's office first..so bleh aa bgn lambat...lepas gi vendor, masuk office around twelve sumthing...and my w/station plak buat hal..motherboard overheated...
conclusion....
spent the past few weekends walking back down the path of memory lane...and realised that, there is always a blessing in disguise...
kudos to pe'et's committee for making TEC a success...(buat ape nk puji pe'et..dia tu dahla sengal..hehehe)..
:: the trip back to UTP ::
just a recap on what have i done during my trip back to UTP
just rite after i finished writing the previous blog, started to pack everything, and by 1045 hours, revved up my beloved WiMP..earlier in the morning, abuya gave me some pocket money, to ensure that i have sufficient capital for my journey back and home again..
1100 hours
had my brunch first, as my stomach was playing the 7th Concerto of Mozach's music..*burp*..then, continued my journey..as i am entering the highway, i sms-ed aspa, told him that i'm absolutely on my way..and being a good friend, he pesan-ed me to buy dunkin donuts..which, i am very much obliged not to do so..hehe..
1400 hours onwards
after several hours on the highway + took a short nap, finally reached UTP..honestly, i found that the design for TEC's bunting is very da messy one..the choice of colour is also not so-good..conclusion, it was not eye-catching..hehe..mentang-mentang dulu komiti P&P, so sedap2 je aku nak komen org nye design..muahahahahaha
lepak2 dekat ofis RC, then menyebok or mencapab sekejap kat chancellor hall..it is very heart-warming, to know that people still remember you..and the good thing is, now I can selambe je kuar masuk media control room..(yg kononnya is very d very sacred place..only those from IT-Media or MedTech je bleh masuk) hahhahahahaha...why? sbb the media crews are my peeps now :)..met maz from MITCO..maz, the bubbly "sis" from UIA..she even gave me a can of Long Jack Tongkat Ali drink...muahahahahaaa..i was sooo energetic the whole day
later, met my ex-housie..damn, they never change..they stil spend their free time playing warcraft DotA network battle..n aspa, well..let's just say that aspa has change...a bit :p
in the evening, met Intan..well, she never change..but nevertheless, u just cannot lie to one dear to you..
had dinner with my cronies of campus-politic-king..poji with his usual childish act and wawan with his "help-me-i-am-blur" attitude..nevertheless, they are among the peeps that i respect so much for what they have achieved..
being such a bz-body kind of person, decided to join RCSU's meeting later dat nite..but b4 dat, went to chancellor hall again, to watch their rehearsal for tomorrow's opening..this year's exhibition was at just outside Chancellor Hall, between the hall and the magnificent IRC..this time, more and more oil and gas companies are involved..and it somehow made me very da much "jealous"..bcoz in previous years, we were not allowed to approach any OPUs for sponsorship request..but somehow, this year, Carigali and MITCO are among the sponsors..well, what can i say, other than, "seeot aaa...slambe je dis yer OPU bleh sponser.." and FYI, the sponsorship dept managed to overtake last year's collection by rm10kilo differences..total of rm50,000...
attended ohana meeting a.k.a RCSU meeting..can't say much here, coz it's too confidential..(to cipoi: aysha makin comey woooo)
abis meeting pukol 2 pagi..borak-borak sampai 2.45 pagi..anta aysha balik, then sampai bilik aspa dlm pukol 3 pagi..lepas tuh..*lights off*
to be continued...
