Assalamualaikum,

I thought it was over and I thought wrong. Yesterday it happened again. If this thing continues then I will have to lodge and official complaint and maybe ask for a refund for the every downtime of Celcom Broadband that occur. Hey, I should get my money worth paying. I'm not spending it for a wireless broadband that blinks for hours without any valid connections.

Curses!!!!

Assalamualaikum,

Yesterday something bad happened, and today a lie have been told....

Kesesakan punca talian Celcom bermasalah

KUALA LUMPUR 24 Sept. - Talian telefon mudah alih Celcom (M) Berhad di seluruh negara hari ini mengalami gangguan selama 12 jam ekoran peningkatan panggilan yang luar biasa.

Penyedia perkhidmatan talian mudah alih itu hari ini mencatatkan peningkatan lima kali ganda untuk panggilan domestik dan sembilan kali ganda bagi panggilan antarabangsa.

Pada kebiasaannya di musim perayaan, Celcom mencatatkan antara 750,000 hingga 150 juta panggilan tetapi hari ini ia dianggarkan meningkat sehingga 750 juta panggilan.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutifnya, Datuk Seri Shazalli Ramly dalam penjelasannya memberitahu, peningkatan itu berpunca daripada pengguna Celcom yang telah mula kembali ke ibu kota dan melakukan panggilan hampir serentak.

''Keadaan itu menyebabkan Stesen Penerima (Node) berkapasiti tinggi milik kami di Kepong mengalami kesesakan yang teruk.

''Pada mulanya kami cuba mengatasi kesesakan itu dengan mengaktifkan Node berkapasiti tinggi kedua yang terletak di Seberang Perai, Pulau Pinang tetapi malangnya ia turut sesak,'' katanya ketika dihubungi Utusan Malaysia di sini hari ini.

Jelasnya, walaupun kesesakan itu berlaku diseluruh negara, tetapi pengguna Celcom di Lembah Klang menerima kesan paling teruk.

Menurut beliau, kesesakan talian mulai berlaku pukul 9.30 pagi dan mampu diatasi sepenuhnya pada pukul 9 malam.

Shazalli berkata, hanya perkhidmatan panggilan Celcom ke Celcom sahaja yang menghadapi masalah manakala perkhidmatan lain seperti khidmat pesanan ringkas (SMS), emel, perkhidmatan jalur lebar dan panggilan ke rangkaian lain tidak terjejas.

Jelasnya lagi, gangguan panggilan itu hanya melibatkan syarikat telekomunikasi tersebut kerana majoriti pelanggan Celcom adalah masyarakat Melayu yang mana penggunaan mereka untuk panggilan dan SMS meningkat setiap kali Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

Mengenai kerugian yang terpaksa ditanggung oleh Celcom, Shazalli bagaimanapun enggan mengulas lanjut.

Jelasnya, apa yang penting pengguna boleh menikmati semula semua perkhidmatan yang ditawarkan Celcom tanpa masalah.

Shazalli seterusnya memohon maaf kepada semua pelanggan Celcom di atas kesesakan talian yang tidak dapat dielakkan itu.

Ok...here goes. I admit that they may had a problem yesterday, but I'm still not satisfied with the statement released to the press that the broadband service was not in any way affected yesterday. I even called them at 9 pm yesterday because they said that the problem was to be resolve at that time. However, I was still unable to connect to the internet through my broadband until it was 10 something. Those red highlighted italic statements quotes above was all a lie. Why don't just admit it and do something about it. Like increasing the bandwidth perhaps...I don't know. I think they should take their word back as the fastest wireless broadband service provider and shove it back into their @$$!!!.

Anyway, thankfully things are back to normal now and I hope they learn their lesson well. Don't just go bragging around as the best wireless broadband provider with no solid proof to back it up.

p.s: All my crops nearly ruined if I didn't have alternative access to the internet like TM Streamyx.

p.s 2: Wish that many customer will switch to P1WiMax and leave a big bandwidth in Celcom Broadband.....huhuhu

Assalamualaikum,

Sekarang ini, Malaysia tengah hangat dengan inspirasi 1Malaysia yang dibawa oleh Perdana Menteri kita yang kini sedang sibuk diwarwarkan melalui pelbagai media termasuk media elektronik, media cetak dan sebagainya.

Sekiranya aku diminta untuk menulis esei tentang bagaimana untuk menanam semangat 1Malaysia dikalangan rakyat Malaysia dalam ujian PTK sudah tentunya aku akan tulis menulis tentang penggunaan media TV dan radio. Tapi malangnya dalam realiti sebaliknya berlaku.

Kita sering lihat iklan 1Malaysia disiarkan berulang-ulang tetapi apabila rancangan-rancangan yang disusun oleh stesen kendalian kerajaan mahupun swasta merangkumi drama-drama dari negara seberang. Sangat sukar untuk menonton rancangan 'buatan' Malaysia pada waktu-waktu puncak dimana penonton amat ramai. Persoalannya adalah, TV hendak promote 1Malaysia ke 1Indonesia?Dari pandangan aku lagi, rancangan-rancangan dari Malaysia pulak ditolak ke waktu-waktu pelik dan semestinya dirasakan tidak mempunyai ramai penonton kerana yakin semuanya sibuk dengan waktu kerja.

Lagipun, aku rasa stesen TV Malaysia nih terhegeh2 lah menyiarkan rancangan Indonesia, tapi orang kat sana bersyukur pon idak. Orang kita lupa, derang nih pasal tarian bodoh pon nak carik pasal dengan Malaysia. Padahal bukan salah orang sini pon. Aku rasa pon, tak mati orang Malaysia kalau tak dapat tengok drama Indon. Lagipon banyak yang aku rasa tak elok sangat untuk tontonan rakyat Malaysia.

Sedarlah wahai Menteri Penyiaran, TV Malaysia untuk rakyat Malaysia. Jangan dah jadi macam RCTI je aku tengok. Kalau nak support 1Malaysia, buat dengan betul2. Jangan kat mulut je kuat melaungkan kata2 sokongan tapi tak tindakan tuh membuatkan orang Malaysia pon nak jadi Indon.

p.s : Sket2 boleh lagi lah, tapi kalau dah lebeh2 apa2 pon memudaratkan...

Assalamualaikum,

Harini terpanggil untuk menulis sesuatu akibat sedikit kecewa dengan situasi yang menimpa kakitangan awam kerajaan. Bukan menulis untuk menandakan anti-kerajaan tapi sekadar meluahkan apa yang terperap didada.

Tajuk kat atas tu mungkin akan menyinggung perasaan sesebuah negara tapi itu hanyalah peribahasa. Dah taktau ada peribahasa lain yang boleh digunakan dalam situasi seperti ini.

Of course by now, you people might be thinking what the hell am I babbling about. This is about the government servants not getting any bonus for two years in a row. Of course kakitangan sokongan kalini lebih bernasib baik kerana dapat juga tahun nih. Tetapi itu bukanlah isu yang membuatkan hati ini sedikit membara dan geram. Sebaliknya hairan kenapa kerajaan yang aku berkhidmat selama nih lebih mengutamakan sesetengah negara luar berbanding dengan rakyatnya sendiri. Memang orang luar ada krisis, tetapi terimalah hakikat rakyat negara ini juga ada krisisnya sendiri. Jangan hanya membuat keputusan untuk meraih populariti sahaja. Ingatlah balik siapa yang mengundi memilih kerajaan masa kini. I am starting to have some doubt and regret over my obvious selection in the last election.

Entahla, not like babbling here is going to do any good and change the decision. It just a good exercise to avoid exploding myself in real world. I may look cool but honestly I am sick with the decision not to give any bonus this year, especially after not receiving any last year.

Anyhow, I think this decision is a very bad one. Not only it will effect the mentality of government servants, but also to which side the vote will swing in this very near election. Its funny how death follows politicians everytime an election finishes. 'They' should be really scared with this domino pattern. Huhuhu.

I done for now, I've vent out some of my anger for the moment. Just hope that they rethink about their unpopular decision over the next few days...

Assalamualaikum,

Since today is my day off and I am beginning to get bored, so I went to 1Malaysia's site to cast my vote on the 1Malaysia 10 finalist. After listening for a while and judging, some of them are really good but I've only like one or two songs. This is one of them...

Assalamualaikum,

I had a revelation today, particularly about a disease I have been suffering for the past decade. I am going to talk about my tonsil problem.

An infection on my tonsil for the past few days have caused it to bleed today. Not that it is the first time it happens but surprisingly this is the first time I have it during the fasting month. And only Allah knows how bad I suffered since yesterday. Nevertheless I still go on with my fasting routine. Would not want to tarnish my clean record.

Anyways, a visit to my regular clinic but this time with an unfamiliar consultation with a new doctor recommended me to have it remove. Based on my medical visit, he said that I was a genuine candidate to have it remove immediately. That gave me and my Mama a big scare. She even had a long discussion about the side effects that might occur once I have it removed. But in the end the doctor insisted that it was the best solution for me. As for me, I sincerely hate the thought of having a part of me sliced up. Not after I've been circumcised long time ago. Hehe.

Anyhow, I came back home with a bag of medicines but still have to wait until Maghrib to eat them. I keep telling myself there should be some other ways of dealing with the problem. And I did some research over the internet. Here are my findings...



It's a stone??? That is new to me. I thought it was just a lump. And this is another something new to me...

You can use a tongue scrapper for tonsilloliths removal. You can get as far back in your mouth and get rid of the annoying stones. You can also use a toothbrush too for the same purpose.

Scrape it out? What the??? It is said that tonsil is a stone caused by excessive amount of calcium in our body. The funny thing is that I take a pill of calcium daily to make sure I have strong bones. This is a setback....hmmm.

Whatever it is, I am going to browse for more tips of getting rid of these tonsils permanently the natural ways without having to go through any operations. Wish me luck.

Assalamualaikum,

It took me so long to write one entry. And one on a special day as a birthday. Yes, today is my 28th birthday and its the first time celebrated at my new workplace. Hiks.

Many thanks for those who wished me the whole day. Thanks for all your thoughts.

Ramadhan is also just around the corner and I take this opportunity to wish all you out there Salam Ramadhan...

p.s : should be able to lose some weight during that period...hehehe.

Assalamualaikum,

After so many years of wishing, finally it came through. Ever since I started working, mainly from KMJ, I've always asked the superior to send me to a Macromedia Flash course. I would remind myself to make it a point to write it in my SKT form that I wanted to attend such course. But, unfortunately for me, I never had that opportunity there.

Today, for the past few days my wish finally became reality. I was sent to attend a Macromedia Flash 8 course here at Bahagian Teknologi Pendidikan Negeri Selangor, somewhere near Shah Alam. Although this time, the course was not arranged at any glorious hotel, I am satisfied because the main objective is to learn Flash and not bother about the accommodation.

I should be able to come up with some kind of a product at the end of the course. And maybe, just maybe I would share it in here with you guys...

Until then, take care now bye bye then...got Flash presentation to finish...huhuhu

Assalamualaikum,

This time around, I made it again to the Regional Center for Education in Science and Mathematics or easily called RECSAM here in Penang. This time I was ordered to attend "Science as a Platform for Effective Integration of ICT, Mathematics and Language".

Funnily this course is not cheap (Though I don't mind since the office whose paying all this) and I was surprised that non-teaching staff like me being asked to attend such course. I should expect this kinda course when I was in matriculation. But hey, why complaint? I just think of it as a sponsored holiday for me. BTW, its been a while since I been to Penang.

I must say I always enjoy courses given by outsiders (Non-Malaysian) and in this case Mr. Colin Webb and Ms. Shirley Gibson, both from Australia. They always deliver a different approach even though here in Malaysia I realized that their method is more idealist rather than realist. I doubt that if we ever adapt that kind of approach here in Malaysia, non of the teachers will be able to finish the syllabus in time for exams. Yes, Malaysia education is exam-oriented no matter how hard we want to deny it.

It was interesting how they (Mr. Webb and Ms. Gibson) relates those tiny2 little detail to the education of Science and Maths. But personally I think its a little too far fetched.

Anyhow, I did learn a lot, especially in the MS PowerPoint application which I didn't know exist before this.

Thinking of getting some tidbits to bring back home like the famous Buah Pala and Salak. Hiks. Until then, take care now bye bye then

Assalamualaikum,

Harini tiada tajuk yang spesifik yang ingin dibincangkan sebaliknya adalah perkembangan karier baru ini. Boleh dikatakan sejak masuk ke sini haritu tidak pernah pon dalam seminggu aku berada di pejabat 5 hari berturut2. Tiap-tiap minggu mesti ada je keluar mana2. Mesyuarat, bengkel, taklimat? Name it, I've attend it. Bukan merungut, tapi suasananya sangat berbeza.

Harini aku sendiri kat pejabat. Panggilan bertalu2 pagi tadi mintak reset password username derang. Petang nih senyap sunyi pulak. Masa untuk mengeluarkan inspirasi dengan photoshop dan buat interface yang cun2 untuk aplikasi yang kitorang bangunkan. Pendek kata aku kena pikirkan apa yang perlu dibuat selain dari arahan2 bos aku yang sekarang nih ondaway balik dari outstation.

Baru ingat nak dok opis lagi, tetiba datang surat kena gi meeting plak kat esok kat BTP. Dah jadi macam duta tetap ke sana plak. Takpe...nasib baik kerja aku banyak atas talian je. So orang bermesyuarat aku boleh settlekan kerja aku sket sambil2. Nak tgk claim aku bulan depan adakah makin naik atau makin susut. Dah asyik kuar je manjang mau tak penuh table isi claim aku tiap-tiap bulan? Bos aku plak tak kesah, asal ada arahan kuar je dia kata apa susah, kan boleh claim. So kalau bos takde aral, aku pon no hal. Hehehe.

Itu yang kawan2 lama aku sumer cakap aku dok sini relex dan asyik jalan2. Memang ya. Tapi semua itu akan dicapai sekiranya kita dapat delegate kerja dengan baik. Jangan biarkan kerja bertimbun2 sampai kita takleh nak handle dah. Pasal itu bos aku tensen, tensen sebab aku siapkan kerja cepat dan tepat (huhuhu) sampai dia taktau nak suruh watper dah. Al-maklumla, new broom sweeps well.

Satu yang pasti sejak aku dok sini, tak satu hari pon aku rasa bosan. Sebab semuanya perkara baru buat aku dan satu proses pembelajaran bagi aku. Penat ye...bosan tidak sama sekali. Harap2 aku akan dapat kekalkan perasaan ini sampe biler2. Bos aku cakap dari awal pon... "If you like challenges, then you will like it here". I hope he is right.

Assalamualaikum,

Today is a historic day for me as today marks the first time I ever step into the Malaysian Parliament building for the first time. I always passes by next to it but I see no reason for me to even go there. But today, I have one.

Today along with another two more representative from KPM were scheduled to take note of any events or questions that might relate to KPM.

Even though I know the questions were prepared even before they start debating with each other, it's always fun to experience those things people see on TV 'live' with our own very eyes. Sometimes the conversations were even funny and hilarious. Hiks.

I must say that I'd only enjoyed the parliament during the morning session. After that, everything started to get a little bit boring.


Anyway, what a day it was. An experience gained and a good one I guess. It would be a while until I even get another Parliament duty I guess. Let it not be so soon. Hiks

Assalamualaikum,

Again with the lame excuse for not updating the blog more frequent. The truth is I was so indulge with my new work that I haven't have time to express myself in my beloved blog.

Today is a history, my first experience of giving away Training of Trainers (TOT) for teachers. I have taught matriculation before but this is totally a new experience. Teaching teachers instead is a major challenge for me. Butterflies were crashing all over my stomach area before I began the session. Fortunately for me, I began picking up those teaching skills I left few months ago. I am going to get a hang of this thing again. Suddenly I remembered what I missed at the college. The session finished without any hassle and gave me some sort of satisfaction in the end.

I will continue with the TOT for the second group of teachers this evening. Hope everything will go well again. Even though my hotel (Adamson) is located in Chow Kit area, but the view is not bad. I can see Istana Budaya clearly from here. A room all for myself isn't that bad factor either. Hiks.

Until then, take care now, bye bye then.

Kerispatih – Demi Cinta

maaf ku telah menyakitimu
ku telah kecewakanmu
bahkan ku sia-siakan hidupku
dan ku bawa kau seperti diriku

walau hati ini trus menangis
menahan kesakitan ini
tapi kulakukan semua demi cinta

akhirnya juga harus kurelakan
kehilangan cinta sejatiku
segalanya telah kuberikan
juga semua kekuranganku

jika memang ini yang terbaik
untuk diriku dan dirinya
kan kuterima semua demi cinta

* jujur aku tak kuasa
saat terakhir ku genggam tanganmu
namun yang pasti terjadi
kita mungkin tak bersama lagi

** bila nanti esok hari
ku temukan dirimu bahagia
ijinkan aku titipkan
kisah cinta kita selamanya

repeat *

repeat **

demi cinta

Assalamualaikum,

Today I gained another new experience. I came to work normally like any other day, had my breakfast with my colleagues. Suddenly my boss approached me and told me that I need to replace him to attend a meeting at Bahagian Teknologi Pendidikan (BTP) in Bukit Kiara. He informed me exactly at 8:30 am and the meeting was scheduled to start at 9:00 am. I only have half an hour to be there and it's on the other side of KL.

So I decided to use my Garmin map in my N95 to guide me to use the shortest and easiest route. I end up using the Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong. I arrived without any hassle. But was a little bit late as the meeting was already started when I came in.

The meeting ended at noon and I rushed back to my brother's house at Puchong and go to mosque together. After that I went back to office just to be informed that officers who went for a meeting outside the organizations are required to prepare a Minit Curai for whatever that means. I've heard of it before once during my college days but never imagine myself preparing one. Hiks. Lucky for me the template and examples were provided by my colleague here. Apparently this Minit Curai is compulsory for government servants who attend meeting outside their department. The purpose is to tell people in our own department about what have been decided in the meeting that we attend and what our actions needed in the course of the decision taken.

Alhamdulillah I remembered to become an active listener during the meeting and was able to jot down some important notes. However I was also distracted with the cold temperature of the meeting room which forced me to take a leave to the restroom in the middle of the meeting. Hiks.

So today, I've learnt how to become a temporary secretary. Hehehe. Salute to all secretary in the world for their patience in listening and jotting down important notes. Now I know how hard that job is. Hehehe. Until then, take care now bye bye then.

Assalamualaikum,

I am just going to share some experience at my new workplace. Before this, I was an ordinary teacher who was living his working live depending on a piece of paper called timetable. Going to class, lunchtime, and free period was all in there and all I have to do is just obey them and when it's time to go home, I just pack my stuff and leave. It's like premeditated and has been repeated for the past three years. It's not like I'm complaining, but that was how I was.

But today, I no longer depend on timetable to do anything. Everything is more of an initiative rather than force. However, work can sometimes come like a tsunami without prior notice. As a 'new broom', every task given to me was finished in a fraction of time. I not only surprise my boss but I even surprise myself. Never knew I could work that fast. Everyday here is like a new lesson for me. Not only in my work description, but also my daily working life survival if you might say. Everyone here is giving me tons and tons of advice about people around here but I much prefer to stay neutral and not take sides. Other than that, people here at the new place is very helpful and friendly. I find it little bit hard as I can be considered youngest officer here. So I better watch what I say. Hiks. They might be in a different transmission wavelength. They might perceive differently towards what I say.

Anyhow, I am trying to adapt myself from my previous discipline to this newly and challenging work.
