Politik Oh Politik

Bercakap pasal politik hati aku panas jer... tak suka...
I dont really involved in politic, but as a Malaysian I'm responsible to select the good candidate to run the country. Tapi sekarang nie banyak kacau! Aku rasa semua party pun macam ader jer flaw nyer. Tapi ader sesetengah party tu mcm hampeh, bodoh tolol, pastu nak memimpin, camner lah tu bagaikan ketam mengajar anaknyer berjalan straight! Aku nie jarang tngk news, tapi 1 hari tu ader news yg aku excited nak follow. Tapi hampeh, asyik cerita politik..pasal org tu buat itu buat ini..well to tell you the truth, I dont really fascinate with it. That's their job!! They being paid to do so...and the rewards is quite huge.. Kalau ader achievement yang best boleh ler nak dibanggakan... tolonglah... tunggu punya tunggu sampai habis, berita yang aku tunggu2 tak keluar, punyer lah frustrated. Kita patut focus untuk membangunkan negara, bukan sibuk memburuk-burukkan satu sama lain. Rakyat yang menderita..

Trip to Philiphines

Assalamualaikum......

Dah lamanyer tak update aku punyer blog... this time not because i've been busy with work, but I keep my time filled with Indonesian sinetron. I followed Sinetron Alisa and Pengantin Remaja, acted by Alyssa Soebandono and Christian Sugiono ---> he's really gorgeous :)

Ok, back to the subject title. I went to Philiphines last 2 weeks for business purpose. It was a sudden visit requested by my department head. Intially I refused to go by giving lots of excuses, but at the end, looks like I'm the best person to go solving some product issues. My passport was expired, so this time I got to renew my passport charged with company. Good for me :). On contrary, that was not a good time for visiting Philiphines. It was hit by the typhoon a day before my trip. The specific area was Bulacan which was not far from the place I went, Pampanga. The flight was quite bumpy on the way to Diasdado Macapagal International Airport. Lots of turbulance..urgh!! and when we touched down, it feels like roller coaster ride... Scary.

The weather was bad during my trip, which it should be brought by the typhoon. Most of the time raining and mild storm. I stayed indoor pretty much of the time. About my little boy, I was sad and worried that he'll get hard time being away from me especially during night time. During the video chat session, he was happy when he sees me, jump here and there like usual. However after sometime, he wants me to accompany him to sleep. That was very saddening moments. I make my day busy most of the time and the 4 days trip seems to pass so fast.

Here are some of the photos taken during the trip.

Me with one of the Philiphinos, should be staff clerk there

Kasut Raya I :)

I bought this last night and I'm quite excited about it that I want to post about it on my blog. It looks trendy, comfortable for work and outing, and because of you shoes, I have to make resolution to refrain myself from buying anymore shoes for the next 6 months...maybe???. See the photos, nice right?? It has opening, so I can wear it for long hours. No worries about bad odours from the shoes.

My Piece of Art

I need to do this quick :)

So far I have done two board layout. Here how those two are look like. The first board is successful functioning even though there are some minor2 error :P. Many people have been using it and I should be happy.



This is my second board. The SMT and wirebond supplier has worked on it and so far they have no feedback or concern which I think all went smooth at their end. Next week I should be able to get this board and test at my side. I really pray this is going to work, ("God please help me!!, Ameen") . This is going to be customer board for their qualification. Really hope all went good and we would win the business. This board is for the house encoder and is used in elevator application for motor feedback controller.



Right now, no pcb layout project on my hand. I'm busy with the product characterization and testing. Customer is ramping up order for our ink-sensor business. Order increased from about 10k/month to 250k/month. Its a good business but hell to the coolie like me.. what do I get from this??? Urgh!! "The lesson and experience is what I'm harvesting" this is what I keep to myself.

Ceritaku di Bulan Puasa :)

Ehm..time2 puasa macam nie ader satu sifat kemalasan dalam diriku. Bukannya aku takder kerja di office tapi sebabkan ader sifat “malas” tu aku put aside my work temporarily and do this karangan untuk blog aku. Bila datang semangat rajin nya aku update blog, tapi bila time ader sifat kemalasan tu, berhabuk lah blog aku.

Tahun nie aku sambut Ramadan dengan gembira sekali. Apa taknya mak dan adik aku menyambut puasa kat rumah aku di Penang. Yee-ha..syoknyer. Diaorg stay kat rumah aku selama seminggu, dan sempat berpuasa 4 hari bersama2. Memang beban kerja rumah aku ringan bila diaorg ada tapi yang penting nya suasana masa berbuka tu meriah bila ramai. Aku balik jer dari kerja, makanan dan terhidang..macam2 plak diaorg masak. Argh best nyer!! Weekend tu family kakak sepupu aku plak dtg sambut puasa 2 hari dgn aku. The more the merrier!! Dan kemeriahan itu berakhir ahad lepas. Lepas tu back to the routine :).

Sekarang nie aku pergi kerja agak awal sedikit. Dapatlah aku parking dekat dgn ofis dan balik awal. Apa tak nyer, kalau lambat jalan jam. Hari Isnin tu aku try masak untuk berbuka, tapi tak sempat. Azan dah kedengaran tapi aku masih lagi mengoreng ayam. Kelam kabut buatnyer, jadi hari-hari seterusnya aku ambil jalan mudah… “masak lauk tunjuk” atau nama lain "beli jer". Bagus jugak aku buat mcm tu. Balik rumah aku dapat rest dan sempat gak melayan sinetron Indonesia “Cinta Kirana”. So far tak pernah berbuka di luar tahun nie, tapi hari nie aku rasa terliur lak nak makan kat Seoul Garden lepas dengar member2 cerita nak berbuka kat sana.Tngklah macamana.

Semenjak aku beranak kecil nie mmg susah nak buat amal-ibadat masa puasa nie. Kalau dulu ader gak pergi Terawih, tapi sekarang,,,memang tak ada pun. Balik kerja, nak uruskan hal rumah, nak spent masa dengan anak. Itulah routine harian, kadang2 boring jugak tapi itulah dia tanggungjawab sebagai seorang career woman, isteri dan ibu. Memang kalau ingatkan nak berhenti kerja dan jadi full time housewife, concentrate with family. But I don’t think I can cope with it. Aku rasa kalau aku jadi full time housewife, I’ll turn into someone miserable. Aku bukan kutuk other fulltime housewives, maybe they are good, but I’m not. Masa dlm confinement pun aku dah rasa terlalu boring. Apart from boring, aku rasa I’m not good full time child carer..kadang2 during weekends pun aku tensen dgn anak aku. Bayangkan lah everyday..urgh!!! silap2 aku boleh masuk paper jadi ibu dera anak. Bukan masalah dengan anak aku, tapi dengan aku sendiri…:). Sebab2 lain adalah duit dan satisfaction. Tak kerja takder duit… as easy as that. Memang duit bukan segalanya, tapi dengan duit kita boleh hidup selesa dan normal macam orang lain. Satisfaction?? Yeah memang one of the main reason…syok betul bila tngk result dari kerja aku. And I really hope I can be one of the good analog design engineer..Ameeeeen………

Bebel punyer bebel jam hamper pukul 5. Berjaya aku “kill time”. Kill time adalah membuat sesuatu berguna untuk kasi masa jalan. Ia berbeza dengan wasting time iaitu dengan membuat kerja yg “hampeh”. Aku nie dlm situasi nak buat decision samada nak berbuka kat luar atau tidak….urm…. seoul garden maybe I’ll come today.

I should be content!!

I went for job interview yesterday. Actually I was wondering should I go or not, but somehow I did attend that. I think I was very frustrated and mentally unstable when I applied that job. The post is Product Engineer for RND group. That company is doing SSD, which is Solid State Drive which an advanced version of HDD. It's a new field to me, but it'll be fun to learn new thing.

The interview went well and I manage to answer most of the question confidently. However most of the question touch on the statistical stuff and communication skill. I expect that they will ask me a lot of technical stuff, which I thnik I might be in trouble, but they are not. The job scope is similar like what I've been done before but nothing on RND stuff. It is more on middle man between RND and NPI, manufacturing group. Thats not cool... Besides that, that company location is quite far from my place and the traffic is quite bad overthere. My current job way better than what they can offer... AM I BLIND??? AM I STUPID??? I questioned myself. But on the positive sight, I took it as an interview pratice. This is my 2nd interview after 5 years working. I'm good ;). Besides that I wont feel regret that I did not attend the interview if in the future I feel demotivated with my current company.

Yesterday I went to my supplier site in Prai. Going through the production lines reminds me of those time when I worked with Flextronics Melaka. I used to spend most of my time, debugging boards, checked on the testing at the production lines. Those are hard times for me. I went to their staff office. It's teribble!! The office is actually a cointainer truck and all the managers and engineers are cramped inside. They have a good business with my company and I'm sure they can afford to have better office accomodation. Their toilet, surau and canteen are in scarce condition as well. It's almost similar last time. I should be grateful and how lucky I am...

Activity on Sunday Morning 100718

Preparing breakfast while hubby cleaned up Little Luffy. Yesterday I had noodle soup for breakast and today I decided to have western style breakfast. I still have left M'cdonald GCB from yesterday. Luffy likes to play with my pencil case. See his work here, where at the end mama need to clear this mess. Normally on weekend, my laundry will be piling up. Here it's waiting for me to clear up. There's another trip in the washing machine waiting for me... sigh I have to arrange the couch cushion this way. Luffy likes to walk on the couch top, and this is how to prevent him. This is another big task, to handle this "seeking atttention" toddler. I do not know what he want. He was in good mood and suddenly he cried like this.

Internet Friend Scam!!!

This thing just happened a few days ago. My uncle informed me that he is coming to Penang with his lady friend. Who is this friend? Does his wife knows about this? Well, apparently he knows this lady accidently through internet chatting. This lady aged 27 years old and stayed in Manchester, UK. His father just passed away and left her a lump sum of money. She decided to invest the money by buying a property in Penang. My uncled forwarded me some of her photos and she's really a beautiful girl.
According to my uncle, she is still single... I dont believe it. Well, I did smell something is not right, but I did mentioned to my uncle just be careful.

According to plan, this lady supposed to depart from Manchester on Wednesday and reach KL on Thursday. Then my uncle supposed to pick her up at KLIA. She will stay at my uncle place for a night and come to Penang on Friday to settle the house buying stuff. So she will stay at my place and I will help her while she's in Penang. My uncle is not good in Penang as well. I'm OK with it, just that I do not know how long she'll stay and I do not know her plan. This is going to be a long weekend since Monday is the replacemnet holiday for Penang Governer's Day. I did planned to go back to my hometown, but this has to be postphoned then.

Back to the story, my uncle went to KLIA to pick her up. Butttttttttt, she didn't turn up. I call my uncle asking for her flight details, but she did not provide it to my uncle. So I checked on the internet of the flight schedule from any airlines from UK to Malaysia. Only one flight available which already touched down early in the morning. The next flight would be in the evening. It was during noon, and my uncle has been waiting for few hours. So he decided to went back home. I said to my uncle, if this lady really come ask her to fly direct to Penang and I will pick her up in Penang. However she did call or send any message to my uncle. This is something more fishy to me...

I did google search on the internet scam and I found this.

http://tunjanglangit.blogspot.com/2009/07/penipuan-kenalan-internet-wanita-mesti.html

Anyhow, I send message to my uncle not to helo her if anything to do with money. The next day, my uncle called. It's the same like what happened in the above linked. The lady called my uncle saying that she was detained by immigration because she didn't declare her money. Apparently she brings along cash worth RM500k. She will need to pay RM5K to bail out. She call my uncle to help her out. Even the immigration officer called my uncle to confirm this.

Luckily my uncle is not stupid. He said he doesn't has that much money, instead he ask her to call her friend in Manchester to bank-in that much money to help her out. My uncle did get the immigration officer name. My uncle called KLIA immigration ofice looking for the person with that name. He just want to confirm is the detained is real or fake. The person with that name is really exist, but according to that officer there is no such thing happened. They did not detained any people today :).
Scam!!! My uncle just get conned. Pity him because he had to travel to KLIA waiting for this stupid sucker. But on the good side, he did realize this before he loose any money to this lady.

So for those outside there, beware of this scam. Sometime our intention is good, but people taking advantadge over it.!!

Sunday at Youth Park, Penang

Last weekend I managed to take Luffy to Youth Park. This is a 2nd time visit for Luffy to Youth Park after his first visit when he was 7 weeks old (which was during my confinement holiday). This park was formerly known as Youth Park/ Taman Belia and I do not know when goverment upgrade it and has the name change to Taman Perbandaran. I used to be regular visitor here before I got married,( besides Botanical Park) for work out purposes. I love those days when I have plenty time of my own. Is not that I hate my life now, I prefer my life now, just that I want extra time for me to do extracuricular activites.. Hehehe.

Me and hubby took Luffy to the playground area. That place was quite crowded with kids, parents and their relatives. I just loves the environment there, its so greenish, tranquil and lots of laughter and happiness. I just wished my family member were there enjoying time like this. Luffy played the swing, see-saw and the slide. He likes to play the slide more I guess :). After that we took him to the most irresitable place for kid which is the water park. Luffy was a bit scared at first. He hold me tight when I put him into the water, and after a while he gain more confident and bravery. He doesn't want to play in the pool for his age. He went to pool where a little bit deeper. Most of the kids there is older than him like age 4 and above. The kids were quite wild there and I have to monitor Luffy. I was just afraid other kid might pushed him or he fell off in the pool. As usual he doesnt want to get out from the pool at first, until he fell off. Urgh!! this was my husband fault...

Next week I'll deposit this money in his saving. This much money worth ~RM400 :)

My current workload.

I have been busy this few weeks on this stuff. I was working with electronic design and now I am responsible for printed circuit board layout. Last weekend was terrible because I spent Saturday and Sunday at home doing this stuff. I feel quite sad, I was actually at home with my kid but as if I were not there. I scold my kid because he disturbed me and he cried, making the noise which I can't stand.. But when I calmed down and think, he was actually looking for an attention from me. I was busy the whole weekdays and he wants me to spend time with him...Urgh..i'm a bad mother.

I have completed this new task and I hope, I will have some quality time with Luffy this weekend. Hubby is having some urgent task to settle tomorrow, therefore only me and Luffy will be around. Be a good mother Ok, says me to myself...


Create Schematics First



Then the layout

Sungai Sedim, Kulim, Kedah.

The exact last Sunday, hubby, my BIL, BIL GF, Luffy and I went for a picnic at waterfall. This was hubby's idea since I've been complaining getting bored spending weekend at home. Hehehe (i was hoping he took me for shopping though).. This was my 2nd time been to Sungai Sedim. It is located in outskirt of Kulim, about one hour drive from Penang. I came here once with my Plexus friend about 5 yrs ago. It was the same river but at different location. I loves this new location though :) It was very nice and most likely I will take my other family member if I got chance in the future.





Very Cool Yet Very Cold

Taman Burung Penang

During weekend which I'm not sure the exact date, me and hubby took Luffy to Penang Bird Park. Luffy was very keen with bird, every time he sees bird, he will point and shout telling us there is bird. I know there is bird park in Penang, but I have never been there. Maybe because it is situated at the mainland and I rarely went there. Husband did checked on Wikimapia on the park whereabout, but somehow we got lost... Hehehe Funny because actually the Park situated nearby the Sunway Carnival Mall which the only place that we oftenly visit at mainland.

The entry ticket cost RM12 for adult and RM8 for kid. There are lot type of bird there. Luffy did enjoy at first, but after sometime he got tired since he did not get his nap yet. After half trip, he doze off left me and hubby enjoying the birds..


This is cute



Ladies in the pink socks



The snobbish Peacock



Men of my life hehehe..Luffy mesmerize with the birds..

Nasi Ayam. @ Chicken Rice

Last weekend, I tried cooked nasi ayam. I did cooked this before at my hometown with other family member, but never actually tried to cook alone. The recipe is still on my mind, but I do hope I dont miss the essential ingridient or else my chicken rice will turn into something else.






Nampak sedap?? Mmg sedap...

Resepi?? If I got time, I'll write it down.

Two new family member

Ehm.. Lamanya tak update blog :). Since I joined RND division life is kind of heck!!

May 2010 was a blissful month for me. I got 1 niece and 1 nephew. They are so cute makes me think of getting 1 for myself. Hehehe... Money was good, Alhamdullilah!! I got bonus (coming soon)and income tax body pay me for extra money that I paid them for 2009 and 2010..yahoo! Even though the amount are not that much but it still make me happy going through the days.

Last month I were busy with IC evaluation activity. Most of my time spent "hibernation" in the lab. This month, I'll be busy with electrical and electronic design stuff which is fun :). Besides that I have been assigned to do printed circuit board layout. Its a new skill and surely will add value to my career.

About my little boy that I loved so much, he turned 2 last week. I threw a small birthday party for him at my hometown. Alhamdullilah, so far, he's in good health, good progress. Just 2 thing worries me a bit are his less appetite with food and he's still not that good with talking (compared to my friend's kid of the same age). Luffy is unable to pronounce words sounds with "U" character. He'll turned that to "A" sounds. Funny though!! When I keep on asking and stressing him to pronouce "U", he'll turn it to "A" with stressing expression too.

Enough for now, I need to get my lunch for today!!

Tika Saat Itu

Semalam aku di kejutkan dengan berita pemergian ibu kakak ipar ku. Umur beliau lebih kurang umur mak aku. Aku sedih di sebabkan kesibukan kerja, aku tak dapat hadir di majlis pengebumian nya. Makcik tu takder lah rapat sangat dengan aku, cuma kadang2 aku ada jumpa dia, terutama sekali dulu aku selalu ambil haziq dan bawak balik kampung. Aku akan singgah dan sembang2 sikit dengan makcik tu. Aku banyak tertanya-tanya semalam, macamana makcik tu meninggal, macamana kakak ipar aku, macamana anak sedara aku..mesti sedih sangat. Aku cuba bayangkan aku di tempat kakak ipar ku itu..tak dapat aku nak bayangkan...mak aku adalah salah seorang yang aku paling sayang di dunia ini, dan aku tak boleh bayangkan ketiaadanya.

Tapi husband pula cakap jangan fikir tanya macamana itu, macamana ini... yang penting makcik tu masa hidup dia, adakah dia bahagia tak? Ehm..betul jugak kan... aku rasa makcik tu masa hidup dia mungkin bahagia (memandangkan aku tak kenal sgt lah). Itu lah bila fikirkan apa yang husband aku cakap, aku soal diri aku adakah aku dah bahagiakan orang yang aku sayang masa hidup diaorang? Tak semestinya orang yang berumur jer, sebab yang muda-muda nie pun belum tentu akan mati tua...ajal-maut semua Allah tentukan. Lagi satu adakah aku bahagia masa hidup ku? susah nak jawab tu. So kesimpulannya, bahagiakan lah orang sekeliling aku, dan dalam pada yang sama kesannya akan aku akan dapat kebahagiaan itu...
