Sallahuddin Chicken Pop

Semalam, lepas lunch je, lebih kurang kul 2 ptg aku terus gerak dari Lumut balik rumah ke Klang. Perjalanan aku baik saja. Aku pun tak rushing. Tak sabar rasanya nak tgk anak aku yang skrg ni tgh kena chicken pop. Sedih pun ada bila aku tgk balik gambar gambar yang sempat aku ambik ni. Anak aku walaupun dia kena chicken pop, tapi suhu badan dia tak lah panas sgt, walaupun begitu aku dan wife mmg berjaga jaga dan monitor semua perkembangan dia dari masa ke semasa.

Mmg sengaja aku tak bagitau wife yang aku baru dapat cuti sampai weeekend ni. Nak kasi kejutan kat dia.

Bayar Hutang

Setiap kali awal bulan seperti terpaksa aku akan mengeluarkan sebahagian dari duit gaji bulanan ku untuk membayar hutang itu dan hutang ini. Berikut adalah senarai hutang piutang yang kena aku langsaikan setiap bulan:-

i. Bil Telephone, Maintenance Rumah, Ansuran Rumah, Bil Elektrik,
ii. Duit Ayah
iii. Duit Farah Wahida untuk Bio Aura filter air.
iv. Bayarn Card Credit untuk benda-benda yang aku beli.
v. PTPTN
vi. Income Tax utk tahun 2009

Aku rasa bukan aku sorang je yang kena semua ni, malahan ramai lagi org yang seangkatan dgnku malahan mungkin lebih teruk lagi. Aku bernasib baik sebab byk benda yang aku control, tambahan pula kereta aku dah habis bayar, jadinya agak lega la jugak kewangan aku skrg ni.

Rumah @ Lumut

Sallahuddin Updated 1

Alhamdulillah, aku selamat sampai Lumut lebih kurang kul 9 pagi tadi. Aku gerak dari rumah kul 6 pagi. Kali ni aku ikut jalan dalam, dari Klang terus ke Kapar, Kuala Selangor, Sg. Burung, Sabak Bernam pas tu terus ke Lumut. Jarak dia dekat sket, cuma aku kena byk bersabat dgn traffic light. Jimat tol plak tu.

Masa aku balik tadi anak aku dah bgn tidur. Aku sempat buat susu dia. Wife aku dah start kerja balik hari ni lepas MC 2 minggu sebab kena chicken pork. Aku dan wife tgk anak aku dah start ada biji biji merah kat badan dia. Takut takut Salahuddin dah nak kena chicken pork jugak. Aku dan wife risaukan itu je. Aku harap itu bukanlah, cuma biji biji alahan je...

Seperti biasa, bila masa nak pergi berjauhan, aku mmg sedih. Sedih sebab terpaksa tinggalkan org2 yang aku sayang. Aku harap diaorg mengerti dgn apa yang tgh dilalui skrg ni. Kalau aku perlu berkorban, wife dan anak aku lebih lagi. Aku hanya mampu memanjatkan doa ke hadrat Ilahi agar mereka semua dalam jagaanNya.

Target for 2011

I wish i'm able to park this car in front of my new house. Although it's very tough and expensive, i think i can manage that.

New Camera

Hari Sabtu Ahad hari tu, Lepas je hantar mak mentua kat stesyen bas pekeliling, aku dgn isteri dan caussin terus gi shopping kat Harisson. Nak beli kain utk buat baju raya. Aku beli kain yang tak lah mahal sgt. Kain color pink campur meron. Aku susah nak descrip color dia. Tapi isteri aku suka je. Aku pun terus beli.

Lepas pegi sana, aku pun gi Pertama Kompleks, nak survey DSLR kamera je pada awalnya. Tapi sangkut la pulak. Jadinya aku pun beli Canon 550D. Kalau ikut harga asal, RM3113, aku bargain bagai nak rak, dapat RM2800. Dpt 8GB Memory Card, Bag dan Tripod. Tapi aku tak ambik tripod, aku ganti dgn display screen protector.

Sebenarnya aku mmg dah malas nak beli gadget gadget macam ni, sebabnya aku taknak complecatedkan hidup aku ni. Tapi bila mengenangkan bnyk benda yang boleh aku buat dgn DSLR kamera ni terutamanya merekodkan pembesaran anak aku. Aku pun invest RM2800.

Duit boleh cari, tapi even event yg byk bermakna akan ketinggalan kalau aku tak bertindak cepat. Apa pun aku tak menyesal. Hehe...

Gambar gambar anak aku tgh minum susu. Muka dia mmg berbeza masa ni dgn skrg. Skrg dia
dah semakin membesar dan nakal. Semua benda dia nak pegang dan main. Kekadang aku terhibur dgn telatah anak aku ni.

Dulu masa aku bujang, aku tak faham ttg anak, kasih sayang dgn anak, kasih syg dgn isteri, tapi bila aku berkahwin, dpt anak pulak tu, baru aku faham semua tu. Kalau boleh aku sanggup berkorban apa saja untuk keluarga aku. Begitulah kasih sayang yang Allah telah campak kan ke dalam hati ku.

Bila aku berjauhan dgn mereka, aku rasa sgt sedih dan ralat. Tapi bila fikirkan balik, hidup ini kan penuh degan pengorbanan. Aku pun kena berkorban, isteriku lebih lagi. Itu yang membuatkan aku bertambah syg dgn mereka semua.

Kota Laksamana 101 Project

Semalam, aku sampai Lumut pukul 4 lebih. We (Aku & Rizza) drive from HQ office from 12.45 and 3 kali stop. Letih jugak aku semalam. This is my first time trip to Lumut. Basically, I eager to start with this although i was told that this project is screw here and there from the beginning. But ti's more worthy to stay here rather than to stay in HQ office.

Maybe for this week, i just spend most of my time in the site office, gathering some information. Preparation documentation for pre comm and commissioning phase latter on.

Today, April 17, 2010. Almost day 4th I'm being here. I just move in into Bunyamin and Ezam hone since Syakir will back in anytime. Kerja kat sini nampak ok.sebab nyk benda yg aku settlekan. Pasal kerja aku rasa aku dah biasa dgn semua cabaran dan obstacle. Pasal project team pun semua nampak ok. aku harap dapat buat semua kerja-kerja kau dgn baik.

Ptg ni kalau takde apa apa hal aku akan balik Shah Alam. Ada beberapa perkara yang aku kena settle kan semasa aku di Shah Alam. Semuanya seperti berikut:-

i. Buat alignment tayar.
ii. Pasang Air Con utk isteri tersayang and anakku yg comel.
iii. Balik office jap utk ambik semua brg2 aku. Aku nak kosongkan meja.

Lepas tu aku rasa dah takde apa apa lagi nak buat. Semalam aku call wife, dia masih demam lagi. Anak aku masih ok tapi wife aku dah suruh dia tidur dgn adek supaya tak berjangkit. Langkah pencegahan dah buat smealm, dia dah pergi klinik untuk anak aku. Sabar sayang, abg balik hari ni.

1. Baby sitter
2. Celcom
3. TNB
4. Farah Wahida Bio Aura 8th Installament
5. Ayah
6. American Express Credit Card

This is just for today, few will continue by next month.

Today working environment a little relax, office felt empty,

Salary Day

Gaji dah masuk semalam. Aku masih tak tau nak beli apa bulan ni. Kalau ikutkan hati, aku mmg nak simpan as much as posible, tapi tak logik la jugak, aku ada benda nak bayar, dari installment rumah sampai brg brg pasar. Memang lumrah hidup ni macam begini, kekadang, kita ni hanya tempat duit singgah sementara saja. Bila kita membeli atau membayar sesuatu, duit itu akan berpindah tangan. Jadinya, kita ni macam tempat duit transit je...macam airport jugak....org keluar masuk dan transit di sana sini...

Aku masih ingat lagi masa aku kerja kat Sudan 3 tahun lalu. Kat sana aku mmg tak payah fikir pasal benda benda ni sebab takde tempat pun aku nak shopping. Aku pun stay kat concentration camp masa tu. Kat sana aku tak yah sibuk sibuk nak fikir pasal jalan jam, bayar tol, minyak, bil api air dan macam macam lagi lah... Semuanya free. Company yang bayar. Yang aku tau cuma kerja kerja dan kerja...haha..Tapi bila balik Msia, keadaan jauh berbeza...kekadang aku merindui zaman zaman yang lampau....

Kekadang aku terfikir sendir, apa sebenarnya matlamat kehidupan aku, berapa byk duit lagi yang aku nak kejar, apa benda lagi yg aku nak beli, berbagai soalan soalan yang berlegar legar dalam pemikiran aku sampai aku pun takde jawapannya. Kalau nak ikutkan expenses aku, mmg aku org yg berjimat. Pergi kerja pun naik motor cup sebab nak cepat. Jalan raya kat lembah klang ni mmg hari hari jam, so aku kena cari alternative nak encounter masalah ni. Jadinya aku pakai motor je, lebih praktikal dan saving.

Tahun lepas aku dah beli 2 labtop baru, satu pakai company loan, buat installment 10 kali bayar, satu lagi pakai duit sendiri. Satu Lenovo W500 dan satu lagi MacPro. Dua tahun sebelum tu, aku dah beli 2 set golf dan segala benda benda yang berkaitan dgn golf. Byk jugak aku habis dalam masa dua tahun ni, tapi aku puas hati sebab benda yang aku beli ni nampak dan beguna. Untuk tahun ni aku rasa duit aku habis renovate rumah baru je la. So start from this month, aku kena control my expenditure. Kena buat saving byk sket.

Orang selalu cakap dgn aku, hidup ni hanyalah sementara. Kalau kita terlalu kedekut dan berhati hati bila berbelanja, bnyk benda dan pengalaman yang tidak dpt kita nikmati. Jadinya, hidup ini kenalah seimbang, semuanya kenalah sederhana. Barulah selamat.

New Assignment Comi'n In

This week went by 2 speculation and uncertainty. My GM want me to become head of commissioning team for the construction of our very own barge. Kota Laksamana 101. But before this thing materialize, they have to raise and debate this issue in our weekly HOD meeting and get MD approval. My current HOD definitely will not agreed with that. Who's else he want to put to taking care on the future tender. I didn't see any other candidate at this moment. But of course, the KOM job is very appealing. First, the dollar & sen count, second, this is new experience for me. The more new things you learn, the value you are. I take the challenge. As my confession to the GM, i will mobilize to Lumut once i receive the assignment letter from HR. But i did hints him that i want more allowance since this is not easy job, special treatment are required to fixed the damages from previous project team.

Salahuddin Demam

Hari ni anak aku demam lagi, badan dia panas semacam je.. dah hampir 3 hari dah dia macam ni, tapi temperature dia inconsistence. Kedang kadang rendah, sometimes panas semacam je. Aku dan wife mmg risau dgn keadaan Udin yang macam ni. Hari ni tak hantar dia kat baby siter, adk yg jaga dia hari ni. Harap harap semua ok.

Aku dah cakap dgn wife, kalau adk call yang Udin panas semacam je, terus balik, jgn fikir lagi. Wife plan nak ambik cuti esok and lusa, nak jaga Udin..

Aku suspect, dia demam sebab nak tumbuh gigi. Lately, dah 1 1/2 batang tumbuh, yang lain mungkin akan menyusul kemudian. Mungkin sebab tu la dia berapa sihat sgt lately.

Apa apa pun, ayah harap Udin dapat sembuh dgn segera. Udin, ayah & mama sgt sygkan Udin.

Weekend Agenda

It's with last nite. After our family (My wife, Brother in Law, My Son and Myself) dinner we start our weekend program with watching malay movie called "Adnan Sempit". I bought this DVD yesterday while having Hi Tea with Cooi. The it's ok, easy to understand and fit's with mind during that time. I was too exhausted to think much about other thing. We couldn't finish the movie, half way round we go to bed.

Our Saturday program started as follows :-

i. Go to Pasar Klang to buy some of the wet and dry household(Ikan, Ayam, Sotong, Udang, Sayur dan lain-lain lagi).
ii. Register Home migration for Syabas 20 cubicmeter free water supply. Enclosed with copy of IC, S&P and RM30.
iii. Go to driving range at Monterez. while reaching there, drop by to transview for window shaopping and checkout what's the lattest bargain. I bought 1 very cheap golf golf, RM 10 & second hand skin, Perry Gear RM25. Then go to hit the ball. 100 pcs is enough for today. unlike other day, I managed to hit 200 balls. Due to the time constraint, 100 is ok.
iv. On the way home, drop by to Nusarhu for checking the progress. I realized now, in front of our house is a playground for the kid's. Really cool. There is 2 sink for the kitchen, the length is approximately 18 feet long and 8 feet wide. Need to design for future kitchen cabinet. Start saving from now till end of the year.
iv. After having lunch, I watching another movie, "Up In The Air" Staring by George Cloony. Ok movie. Inspiring. The weather now is ok. Raining a little bit. Not hot unlike previous weekend.

Ten Traits That Make You Filthy-Rich

Ten Traits That Make You Filthy-Rich
by Jeffrey Strain
Friday, February 1, 2008 provided by

Saving money isn't all about whether or not you know how to score screaming bargains.
It has more to do with your attitude toward money.
Just think of those who don't fit the filthy-rich stereotype. People like Warren Buffett.

As explained in the book The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko, personal finance has as much to do with people's traits as it does with money. Many millionaires, in fact, have frugal ways.
Understanding how personal traits can influence your finances is an essential ingredient for building wealth.

Here are 10 key traits:

1. Patience
Patience is one of the most important traits when it comes to saving money.
This means waiting until the first wave of product hype has passed, keeping a car for an extra few years before getting another one and waiting until something you want fits into your budget instead of putting it on credit.
Patience is often the difference between creating savings and being in debt. Having the patience to wait until you find a good deal is a cornerstone of good finances.

2. Satisfaction
When you're satisfied, there is no reason to spend money on nonessentials. The sole purpose of commercials is to make you believe that buying a product or service will make you happier, wealthier, better looking or improve whatever isn't bringing you satisfaction.
People spend because they want to capture the excitement shown in advertisements. When you are satisfied with what you have and your life (not trying to live like those on TV), your finances will be in a lot better shape.

3. Organization
Being organized can make you more productive and ensure that all the many issues pertaining to personal finances are addressed.
It means not paying late fees, not buying two of everything, knowing deadlines that can affect your finances and getting more done in less time. All these can greatly benefit your finances.

4. Discipline
You need the discipline to continue to save money for specific, long-term goals every month.
Personal finance isn't a way to get rich quick, but is a disciplined execution of your lifetime plans.

5. Reflectiveness
It's important to be able to look at your financial decisions and reflect on their results.
You're going to make financial mistakes. Everyone does.
The key is to learn from those mistakes so you don't make them again, or recognize if you keep repeating them.

6. Creativity
The economy and our earnings don't always match our expectations.
Unexpected developments wreak havoc to elaborate financial plans. When this happens, changes are needed to deal with the new circumstances. Creativity is essential to accomplish this.
Creativity allows you to make something last longer rather than purchasing it when you don't have the money. It means juggling money to stay out of debt rather than simply paying with a credit card. It means finding a cheaper alternative when money is tight.
In these ways, creativity plays a large role in keeping finances in order.

7. Curiosity
Having curiosity helps you learn, study and improve yourself.
The curiosity of wanting to know more, to take the time to study and then take what is learned and put into practice is an important process that is driven by curiosity.

8. Risk-Taking
To build wealth, one needs to be willing to take risks. This doesn't mean uncalculated risks. It means weighing all the options and taking calculated risks when appropriate.
The stock market has risks involved, but over the long term, history shows that it provides good returns on money that is invested wisely. Those who fear risk altogether end up saving money in accounts that likely lose money to inflation in the long run.

9. Goal-Oriented
The importance of setting and working toward goals is obvious. If you don't know where you are going, it's difficult to get there. It helps your personal finances immensely if you have money goals and are motivated to reach the goals that you have set for yourself.
Those who lack goals don't have a road map to take them to the financial destination they want.

10. Hard- and Smart-Working:
Creating wealth and staying out of debt rarely comes about without a lot of hard work.
Many people might hope that the lottery will solve all their financial problems. The true path to financial freedom, however, is to work hard to earn money while educating yourself to continue to have more value and increase your salary.
You may not possess all of the above traits. But knowing them can help you make changes so that you nourish the ones that you have and obtain the ones you're missing.
Ultimately they will help you with your personal finances and create a plan to accumulate the wealth you desire.

How to capture a crowd

Most of the executives I work with–at companies such as Morgan Stanley Smith Barney (MS), American Express (AXP), DreamWorks Animation (DWA), and Siemens AG (SI)—are experienced presenters. But even pros who just want to put some polish on the silver may underestimate the opportunity–and the risk–in any given presentation. If you want to shine and avoid the tarnish, consider these four tips to help you be the best you can be at communicating with a crowd.

1. Can you give your presentation in 20 seconds even though you have 20 minutes to speak? Start your preparation by asking: What is the one thing I want them to remember if they remember nothing else? Studies show that by the end of the day, your audience will have forgotten half of what you said. And by the end of the week, 90% is forgotten. To make sure that the 10% that sticks is the 10% that you really want them to remember, say it early and clearly.

2. Do you look and sound like you do in a conversation? Think about your talk in terms of moods, not just information. Ask, “How should I feel when I deliver those three slides vs. the next three?…Am I giving marching orders, or am I sharing an example?” In delivering different parts of your presentation, you should look and sound different. Have someone videotape you (when you don’t know you’re being taped) to see the gestures and body movement that mark your personal style.

3. Are you mixing it up? Remember to hit the “Refresh” button. A top executive I work with recently stopped cold while rehearsing his speech and sighed, “I’m starting to get bored here myself.” Whether you add a cartoon or image to your PowerPoint, ask real and rhetorical questions–or walk a few steps to the side to tell a story. We live in a BlackBerry world. Adding variety to your visuals will keep you and your audience more engaged.

4. Do you think your presentation begins at 9 a.m., or the moment you drive in the parking lot? Recognize that “communication” begins the moment you arrive. Recall those auto execs arriving in their private planes to ask for taxpayer money. Thanks to social media, your actions (both good and bad) can wind up in print. So be kind to the receptionist, thank the folks backstage, and hold your tongue until you drive off the lot–no matter how clueless that guy in the front row was.

S&P at Last

At last, after almost 4 years of missing, finally yesterday I managed to get
my house S&P agreement with our housing law firm. The thing that trigger about this issue is that my housing community is now trying to get free water supply form syabas which was allocated for every selangor citizen. Part of the requirement is a copy of S&P agreement.
