Ramadhan Kareem

Alhamdulilah, sekali lagi Allah mengizinkan beta untuk bertemu dengan satu lagi Ramadhan. Jika last year Ramadhan, betul-betul menguji beta sbb ayahanda gering. Beta harapkan tahun ini, Ramadhan kali ini memberi kesempurnaan dan memberi kebaikan untuk diri beta dan keluarga.

Beta berharap tahun ini, dpt Qhatam 30 juzuk Al-Quraan dan menyempurnakan keseluruhan Tarawikh tanpa tertinggal walau satu. Insyallah. Makin beta dewasa, makin berbeza cara menyambut Ramadhan. Tahun ini, beta rasakan sesuatu yang agak berbeza. Semangat pun semakin kuat. Moga Allah membantu beta seperti mana Dia membantu beta setiap masa dan ketika.

Kalau nak ikutkan kerja, memang lah tak akan pernah habis. Hal Duniawi mmg tak akan pernah cukup untuk kita. Tetapi dalam masa yang sama, hal Akhirat beta tidak mahu lagi terlalu lalai. Kita tidak tahu, mungkin esok Allah menjemput kita kembali kepada Nya.

Salam Ramadhan Mubaraq buat to all... Semoga Ramadhan kali ini memberi kebaikan dan keberkatan untuk kita semua. Amin.

Jenguk skejap...

Sejak meninggalkan zaman blog ni... Asyik terlupa nak update. kalau dahulu di jadikan daily routine beta untuk update blog. Life has changed, terlalu banyak benda beta nak kena kejar setiap hari. Banyak benda yang beta tak sempat nak catch up lately. Untuk beberapa tahun ni memang beta ketinggalan banyak benda. Tak mengapa lah, insyallah bila segalanya dah settle nanti beta akan catch up balk apa yang beta missed these few years. There are a lot things actually yang beta mmg nak share. Tapi tak tahu mana nak di dahulukan. Malas nak menaip pun menjadi faktor juga. Hahaha... This weekend memang weekend yang sangat boring. Beta tatau apa nak buat. Kerja? mmg sentiasa ada. Beta in these few days actually sangat-sangat stress dengan macam2 perkara. Jadi kalau boleh nak take a break for a while untuk beberapa ketika.

Monday lagi??

Alahai... Monday lagi ke? Malas nye nak pergi kerja. Terasa bagai nak cuti sahaja harini... Tapi tak boleh, kerja di office menunggu dan berlambak.

Entry trip to aussie pun x terupdate lagi. Macam mana lah hidup mcm nie. Tak tentu hala dan arah! Stress betul....

Now nak mandi and siap2 ke office. Have a Good Monday everyone (including me!)....

Sendirian dan Keseorangan

Bila duduk di rumah sendirian dan keseorangan, macam perkara bermain di pemikiran beta. Terlalu banyak perkara yang beta perlu fikirkan.

I try to avoid myself to stay home alone, normally beta akan cuba menyibukan diri dengan pelbaga activiti. Well, seringkali activiti beta lakukan sendirian dan kdg kala sahaja bersama teman-teman. Tapi beta rasa happy when have people around especially friends.

I do not have much friends around. One by one are walking-away from my life. Don't blame them, in fact I would Thank Allah for giving me a clear view of their true color. I won't eliminate friends, but Allah help me to filter people around me...

I miss my parents, I seriously miss them. I just from all the problems will fade away and beta boleh kembali seperti sediakala. So many things on mind, sometimes I just do not know how to put it in structure and nice flow...

Apa yang beta boleh harapkan, Allah memudahkan segala urusan dan memberi kebertakatan dan mengabulkan setiap doa utk kebaikan. Amin.

Trip to Aussie Day 2

Woke up at 7.30am.. That’s it! Hahaha… Kononnya nak ke shopping mall seawall 6.30am kan? Dah bangun 7.30am tu, jawab nya 9am la baru tiba di shopping mall.

First mall that we went adalah Chapstone Mall, yg kononya shopping mall terbesar. Well, I think we have bigger and more luxury mall in Malaysia. I don’t feel to shop so much. People are queuing at some stores i.e. Burberry, Louis Vuitton and etc. Well, beta tak de la nak beratur, bukan nak shop sangat pun. Target beta shopping adalah AUD$5 shirt tapi nak 10 helai.. haha! Macam mana tu? LOL… Unfortunately, banyak ladies fashion yg betul-betul murah mens punya around AUD$10 onwards. Still, not bad lah. I don’tshop so much at Chapstone.

We continue our journey to DFO at South Whalf. In DFO I did some shopping grab things here and the. I am not sure why beta tak berapa nak shopping. Maybe juga sebab beta put limited budget for this trip. Tapi, Ok lah, get beberapa helai shirts and also watch. It is just for fun. From DFO we took tramp from Casino station to Swanston Street. Although hari sudah petang people
masih lagi ramai. People masih beratur panjang di Zara and a few outlets. Well, Zara is not the thing I am looking forward for this vacation. Malaysia pun ada! Haha…

Penat dah shopping, hari pun dah 7pm although matahari masih lagi tegak. Confuse den! LOL… We had dinner at Nando’s, It is halal and easy… Then, terus saja balik rumah.. Weather really cold now! Beta nak terketar-ketar. Menyesal tak beli sweater AUD$15 dkt DFO tadi…. Hahah! Cuaca di Melbourne ni memang macam ni lah. Sesuka hati je berubah, walhal tadi pagi sikit punya panas! Haish…. Nothing much for today, my full day banyak di Melbourne City itself. Hari ni beta nak kena tidur awal.. Awal lah sangat nyer lah 10am juga tidur! Haha.. Esok plan jauh sikit berjalan out from city to Philips Island.

Trip to Aussie Day 1

Seperti biasa beta memang tidak sempat spend time to update The Kingdom. However, Insyallah ini ada masa weekend boleh la beta just share some story. May be agak lama dah story ni but as I promised beta akan share some story about my trip to Australia last December 2012.

Beta dah lama plan untuk berkunjung semula ke Australia. Lama sudah beta tidak menjejakan kaki ke Australia. Kali ni beta bercuti but quite last minutes juga and this time beta decided to go to Melbourne and Victoria. Beta ke sana pun atas undangan teman baik beta Hasnul yang menetap di sana. Dah dua tahun janji nak bershopping ‘Boxing Day’ bersama tak tertunai. Akhirnya, beta pejam mata and beli ticket ke sana. Alhamdulilah, Malaysia Airlines buat online

Enrich sales. Beta apa lagi gunakan points yang ada untuk ticket. They only required 19,450 points for one way trip Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne and also Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur. Only pay for the tax about RM460. OK la beta save a lot on that.

Tanpa beta sedar masa keberangkatan just around the corner and I just realized visa masih beli di peroleh. Haha! Thank God Australian visa proses very simple and easy. Just apply via Australian Immigration website and pay AUD$30 kalau tak silap. Di pendekan cerita, beta tiba di Melbourne in morning. Upon arrival, beta terus get clean and tukar baju sebab nak terus berjalan lepas tu. Oh ya, beta tiba di Melboune on Christmas morning. Merry Christmas Mike and Shiela..

Haha! From Tullamarine Airport beta terus saja ke Melbourne CBD. I took SkyBus cost around AUD$15 and brings be straight to Southern Cross Station. Beta jumpa kawan beta di sana, selepas keep all luggage dalam storage kami terus catch V-Line train ke Geelong. Due to Christmas, all train are free! Tiba di Geelong V-Line station, we just walk towards the harbour.

Geelong town agak lengang, all shops are closed. Ye la kan Christmas kan. Typical Aussie and NZ town, quiet and relaxing. Perut dah lapar sebenanya, we had home cooked Nasi Goreng at Cunningham Pier and then spend time jalan-jalan and take pictures (This is a must!)…

Towards evening around 5pm beta catch train utk balik balik semula ke Melbourne. Tiba di Melbourne I take a quick tour around the CBD area and had dinner at Indonesian Restaurant at Swanston St. Cuaca agak dingin sebab baru lepas hujan renyai. Sedang makan suddently bunyi kuat Iuar. Bila di lihat dari tingkap, rupanya Hail Storm atau Hujan Batu. Masa menujukan jam 7pm tapi hari masih cerah, summer so siang nya agak panjang.

After dinner spend time jalan2 around city and dah start shopping! Haha.. Kemudian, beta ke Southern Cross Station semula and to pick up my luggage yg seberat 20kg itu dan take another train and bus to Hasnul resident. Little bit far from city area, located in Clayton in City of Monash area right in-front Monash University. The moment we reached there mata hari baru terbenam dan gelap, but rupanya dah 9pm! Patut lah rasa penat sangat. After shower, beta terus tidur sebab esok already 26 December 2011.. Ada apa? It’s BOXING DAY! Mengikut plan I have to get up at 6amand get ready to start our Boxing Day shopping journey….

Long weekend

Banyak betul public holiday di Malaysia ni. This week going to be a long weekend from Saturday until Tuesday. Many people are happy when it comes to a long weekend, unfortunately not for me. Beta sedang rush fo many things. I am not be able to go for long weekend sbb terlalu banyak benda nak kena kejar. It's OK, beta take it positive way.

Beta pun dah cuti lama haritu (although minus my annual leave only 4 day tapi beta dah cuti about 10 days in a line). Dah lama beta tak cuti panjang macam tu. Balance carry forward cuti dari last year pun banyak lagi ade 38 days and tambah lagi 20 days this year accumulate to 58 days! Banyak nye balance cuti nak buat apa tatau. May be dalam masa terdekat ni beta tak boleh nak cuti2 sgt lagi sebab beta nak kena focus on my biggest portfolio which needs a lot of attention.

Yesterday, beta sempat la spend masa jogging in KLCC park and then petang jogging lagi di Laman Perdana Putrajaya. Sengaja spend times untuk kesihatan. Beta pun kerap sakit lately. May be stress and pressure from many angle yang membuatkan beta sering sakit. Then ada kesempatan pergi brunch di Anis Corner. Lama Beta tak pergi makan nasi kerabu di sini.

Let's catch up what happen last week? It was a tiring day. Beta day trip to Singapore for business trip. Beta ada meetings and then event to attend in the evening and fly back to KL at night. The best part is, all meetings and event happen in airport itself. It is easier so I don't have to travel to city.

Nothing interesting to talk about meetings anyway, about the event beta attended that evening was interesting. Beta yang beta attend was Grand Launch "Vine and Leaf" outlets in Changi T2. This outlets is baru buka and selling Wine and Ciggar, mainly the product offering is Wine. There are so many type of wine with different ranges and vintage. Beta pun have no idea about wines just a courtesy to Gebr. Heinemann for the invitiation. Apa yang menarik? Selain dari concept of the outlets, I just love the innovative elements yang Heinemann create within the outlets.

Infront of the enterance, there is table with a big touch screen. It is interactive touch screen yang mana bila lama tak di sentuh, akan keluar leaf on the screen and kita wipe the leafs and then daun-daun tu akan berterbangan.. and keluar 3 mini screen (or papers) on sreen. We can search for all the information regarding the Wines in the outlets from the Vintage Card, Wine Rating, Price and a lot more. Beta rasa dah mcm dlm cerita Matrix pula bila guna screen tu.

Table that provide big touchscreen as I mentioned

Loks like we are in movie Matrix kan?

Not only that, every rack they provide dengan sebuah lagi screen to search item for that particular rack. Bagus kan? Well, technology become more and more advance.

These three bottles of wines important directly from the wine house cost s$88,000, from year 1949

Before balik, sempat la beta menghantar beberapa e-Postcard from one of the Interactive area provided by Changi Airport. There are many activities that we can do in Changi. To be asian transit hub memang patut Changi provide all this to the passangers. We can't company with KLIA because we are destination airport not a transit airport. Anyhow, we are improving time by time...

Unfortunately due to high traffic in Changi, my flight was delayed beta dalam aircraft. Sambil tu beta menghayati beauty of A380 the giant aircraft parked next to my B737-800. Terasa kecil pula jadi nya. hahah! Again, it makes me think mcm mana la technology in 10 years time from now? Wow... Sambil-sambil tu beta asyik melayan Reppunzel movie on my screen! LOL... Without realized beta dah satu jam di dalam aircraft before they get permission to push back the aircraft... total journey dah about 2 hours macam balik Jakarta pula... LOL
