Bought New House @ NusaRhu Puncak Perdana

2 minggu terakhir ini agak bz sedikit sebab wife aku baru beli rumah baru kat Nusarhu. Agak mahal jugak harga dia. RM397, 800.00. 20 X 70. 2 1/2 storey with 3 master bedroom. Aku rasa berbaloi jugak beli kat sana sebab rumah ni cantik dan besar sket. Cuma masalahnya skrg ni sebab township baru, byk kemudahan tak de lagi seperti sekolah, klinik, kedai, masjid, surau dan lain-lain lagi.

Pada mulanya aku kurang setuju dgn keputusan wife nak pindah rumah situ sebab seperti yang aku nyatakan diatas, tapi setelah fikir punya fikir, aku rasa aku terlalu pentingkan diri sendiri tanpa mengambil kira perasaan wife aku. Benarlah kata buku yang pernah aku baca, lelaki dan perempuan berfikir dgn cara yang sgt berbeza. So aku punmengalah dan bersetuju. Aku rasa ok juga kalau ada dua rumah, boleh tukar-tukar angin bila bila aku suka. Haha....

Rumah skrg yang aku dok ni semuanya ada, dari sekolah, komuter station, klinik, surau, masjid dan macam-macam lagi kemudahan yang aku rasa perlu. Kalau emergency pun dekat je dari dari rumah, kalau nak gi KL pun naik komuter sebab station komuter betul-betul depan rumah aku. Mmg strategik tempat ni. Aku pun tak bercadang nak jual ataupun nak sewakan rumah ni, yelah my first house, mesti sentimental sket. Haha...

Plumbing & Plumber

Jadual aku hari ni hampir sama dgn hari hari sabtu yang biasa cuma bilanya ia hampir tenghari semuanya jadi luar biasa sikit. Biasanya aku memulakan hari sabtu ku dgn swing practice di driving range monterez. Selepas 200 bola. Aku berangkat balik. On the way balik aku

Bintulu PDB Project

Last year, PBJV has managed to get one of EPCC project from PDB. The project called EPCC of Upgrading Bintulu Bunkering Project. The overview of the project is that, they intent to upgrade their bunkering facilities by introducing new pump and pipeline to cater new product called MFO (Marine Fuel Oil) 380. These MFO is use for ship boiler. PBJV appoint me as Project Director & Manager for E&I portion since they strongly believe with my capability to handle such a job. For me it's ok. The project is small scale and the system & sub system also not much to handle. But the tricky is that I have to start with engineering. Meaning I have to start with conceptual design, then go to detail design and finally finally engineering before procurement, installation and commissioning. To make it happen, I have to take good engineer to support me, therefore, with strong recommendation, I bring in 2 engineer to help me. Luckily, these 2 engineer is good and can rely on.

I start to plan and strategize the work. I had talk with several potential partner and finally I found the right one. We work out the contract, the commercial and when everything is in order, we start materialize our project.

Now the project is almost come to end. The commissioning stage just around the conner. I have deliver my promises to my immediate superior, but of course, when we did something good, there must be have a people around us envy with our achievement.

When the year 2009 become very close. I had talk to my management about my intention to quick because in my opinion, I'm no longer qualified to lead this struggle. I'm offer myself to quick. But they have other opinion instead. They want to put me in the new department which I can develop & explore more about other things. I accept the offer to work with expatriate. So far everything is ok. I felt that much comfort and job description is much much clear compare to previous assignment.

As of today, I managed to compete several tender exercise. These are the following project involved :-

i. Transportation & Installation of Inter Platform Pipeline Dragon Tortoise Field – Vietnam Soviet Petroleum.
The project scope of work is Engineering, Construction and provision of As Built Documentation for 25km 8” and 10” pipeline on Dragon and Doi Moi Field which includes 6 nos of Riser, 1 no of expansion spool piece and 1 no of pipeline crossing.

New Labtop

I bought Lenovo W500 labtop for work satisfaction and Apple Mac Pro for home leisure, haha...there two gadget become one of my precious thing now. I knew long time ago, sometimes, we have to rewards ourself. We always thing about to rewards other people, but we normally forget to rewards ourself due to don't have enough time to think about ourself. Haha...Now I can proud of myself...at least I got something to show..

My New Hobby - Playing Golf

Here we are. This is my new addicted hobby. All this while I always felt that the person who spent so much of their time to hit the small ball and put it to the hole is such of waste of their time. This is my perception until one came. My ex Bos had asked all of his employee to gather together at driving range for golf session with pro. Me too. The pro teach me how to swing, how to get the feel of swing and other basic technics on golf. Instantly, after that I felt that I'm already in love with this game.

I studied about golf, get to know more detail about golf from the latest iron, driver, wood & etc...I can't wait anymore. With one weekend, I drive myself to Isetan KLCC and bought new set of golf, from bag to iron, all together is Callaway except putter. I take Oddysey for my first one.

Occasionally, together with my colleague we had play golf during our boring day at work. Normally we did this when our bos is not in town. Yeahhhhh...We seldom play golf on the weekend because we believe that the golf is part of the work routine, and we want reserve our weekend with the love one. But when the bosses is calling, no weekend for the family, sometime I have to wakeup as early as 5 am to catch up the tee off at 7am. My first green is at The Mines Sri Kembangan Golf Club. Yeah...of course as a beginner, my swing is terrible, I had improvised from time to time. Currently, my swing is much better and I at par at other 2 or 3 year player. Not bad ahhhh...

To make sure how serious I am with golf, I bought another set, but this set was for me when i'm turn to pro in the future. White color and so clean. Yeah.....

Cuti Cuti di PD

Hehe...gambar gambar yang ku sempat ambil bila membawa isteri tercinta bercuti ke PD. Sebenarnya aku tidak berapa suka berjalan jalan ke pantai, pulau dan keadaan yang sewaktu dgnnya. Aku lebih suka berjalan ke bandar bandar sebab aku suka melihat bangunan dan structure. Bila wife ajak bercuti ke PD, aku tanpa byk soal terus je setuju. Yelah, org tgh mengandungkan, kenalah jaga hati dan perasaan dia. Aku perlu berkorban dan bertolak ansur.

Banyak benda yang berlaku semasa bercuti ini. Ianya bermula dari Shah Alam dan aku mengambil jalan lama melalui banting, terus ke nilai dan seremban dan PD. Kami bermalam satu malam di PD dan esoknya bertolak ke Melaka. dari Melaka terus balik ke Shah Alam melalui Plus highway.

Walaupun cuti-cuti ni hanya dua hari, tapi aku puas sebab dpt membawa isteri tercinta ke tempat yang dia nak pergi. Hehe...

Raya 2009

Gambar gambar hari raya 2009. Salahuddin dah semakin besar.

Salahuddin Rafiqin yang Besar

Gambar - gambar ini diambil pada hari Aqiqah Salahuddin. Sekarang usia dia dah empat bulan. Semakin besar dan lasak. Kekadangn tak tahan aku dgn perangai dia, tapi bila difikirakan kembali, buat aku gembira pulak bila tgk karenah dia.

Pada hari Aqiqah ini, aku melihat isteriku begitu excited sekali. Kalau boleh hampir kesemua kawan kawan dia nak dijemput menghadiri majlis ini. Aku gembira bila melihat isteriku gembira. Anakku sudah semakin sihat dan membesar dengan sempurna.

Untuk majlis ini, Aqiqahnya ialah 2 ekor kambing jantan yang sihat. Aku menyerahkan semua urusan itu kepada ibu mertuaku. Aku hanya menghulurkan duit saja untuk segala urusan itu.

Bulan yang pertama adalah bulan yang tough untuk aku dan isteri. Wife aku terpaksa bangun every 3 hours untuk pump susu supaya anak aku dapat menyusu dengan sempurna. Aku juga terpaksa bangun sekali untuk membantu. Setiap 2 hari selepas aku balik dari kerja, kami akan pergi ke Hospital Putrajaya untuk menghantar bekalan susu kepada Salahuddin. Aku melihat dalam freezer di NICU, bekalan Salahuddin yang paling banyak sekali. Anak aku masih dalam Incubator. Dia hanya mampu minum dgn menggunakan tiup sebab terlalu kecil dan lemah untuk menyedut susu. Bila melihat perkembangan yang positive dari Salahuddin, aku dan isteri semakin bersemangat untuk menghantar susu lagi dan lagi supaya Salahuddin dapat membesar dgn sempurna.

Wife aku terpaksa ambik unpaid leave bulan untuk menjaga Salahuddin. Anakku terlalu kecik dan agak berisiko jika terus dihantar kerumah org atau taska sebab premature baby perlukan special attention. Satu lagi pengorbanan isteriku yang membuatkan aku betul-betul terharu.

Kelahiran Anak Ku

Anak ku selamat dilahirkan pada pukul 1 ptg pada 10.04.2009 di hospital Putrajaya. Hari jumaat harinya. Setelah berbincang dgn isteriku 3 bulan sebelum kelahiranya, kami bersetuju nntuk menamakan anak kami dgn nama SALAHUDDIN RAFIQIN. Beratnya 1.3kg dan 32 minggu saja. Jadinya anak ku kena masuk NICU wad selama 2 minggu sehingga beratnya 1.8kg baru dibenarkan keluar.

Sebelum kelahirannya, isteriku telah kena tahan di wad hospital putrajaya selama 2 minggu kerana tekanan darah isteriku tinggi. Aku sendiri melihat bagaimana isteriku bengkak kaki disana sini dan ini menjadikan aku sedih dan pasrah. Jika aku terpaksa berkorban masa dan tenaga, isteriku berkorban lebih dari itu. Ini menjadikan aku sgt sgt insaf dan amat berterima kasih padanya.

Malam sebelum isteriku hendak dioperate, doktor telah menasihatinya supaya berpuasa. Aku memang nervous pada waktu itu dan hanya berserah pada Ilahi dan harus kuat untuk menghadapi segala kemungkinan. Ibu mertua ku sudah ada dirumah ku. Kami sama sama memanjatkan doa kehadrat Ilahi. Isteriku terpaksa dioperate kerana denyutan jantung anak ku tidak berapa stabil. Aku dan ibu mertuaku memanjatkan doa tidak putus-putus supaya segalanya akan berakhir dengan baik. Jam 11 lebih, nurse telah masuk ke bilik untuk menyedia keperluan isteriku sebelum pembedahan bermula.

Aku sempat mencium dahi isteriku sebelum dia dibawa ke operation theatre. Begitu juga dgn ibu mertua ku. Aku telah maafkan dan halalkan segala yang isteriku lakukan.Jika aku menderita dan sedih, aku rasa isteriku lebih lagi. Besar sungguh pengorbanan dia terhadap lelaki yang bergelar suaminya ini.

Pukul 2 lebih kurang, anak ku selamat dilahirkan.Segalanya berakhir dgn baik. Alhamdulillah.

Selamat Pengantin Baru

Segala penat telah pun berlalu. Walaupun pada ketika ianya bermula, aku menghadapi keadaan yang sangat tertekan kerana pelbagai masalah yang timbul, dari masalah ibu dan ayahku, makcik ku yang cuba mensabotaj majlis ku, hampir semua urusan aku terpaksa lakukan sendiri. Tetapi bila semuanya telah berjaya, aku puas dan gembira. Biarlah apa yang berlaku menjadi pengajaran yang amat berguna dalam hidup ke.Menjadikan aku lebih matang dan bersemangat. InsyaAllah.
Majlis di belah isteriku pada 10 Nov 2009 dan pada belah aku seminggu berselang. Majlis ku diadakan di Intekma Resort & Convention Centre Shah Alam. Disebabkan dewan yang tidak begitu besar, aku cuma jemput 250 org tetamu untuk meraikan majlis ku ini.
