Jom borak2 update pasal hidup...

 20251118 1422

 

I don’t really know how I should start this post.. its the same statement that I have said numerous times, about its been so long since I last posted anything… I feel like a broken record, saying the same thing over and over.. but who the eff cares?? Hahaha…



So the reason that I am writing now is because I am at work and I literally have nothing else to do… so what better way to kill the time.. I have about 3 hours to go before going home… so I will just say whats on my mind…


1. 5 minutes Sharing during department meeting

 

Yesterday was the Engineering Compliance (EC) department weekly meeting. And before the meeting is adjourned, we have a short sharing session that we have to do by rotation. I was supposed to give my sharing last week, but we had already had such lengthy discussion and it took so long, I thought maybe it was better for me to do it this week instead.



So yesterday I did give my sharing.. its basically a random thought that I had had before when I was riding my bike to work about viewing life from different lenses.. I actually posted about it on my FB… so I will just copy-paste what I had written here

 

Serius la this morning masa atas moto, kepala aku macam banyak benda yg aku fikir, pasal hidup la… pasal a speck of dust la… as usual la bila da sampai ofis ni terus rasa mcm berlaku kerosakan otak pulak, macam susah pulak nak mendescribe what I was thinking and to put them into words… but I will try nonetheless…

 

Aku ada teringat pulak pasal movie yg ada sorang girl sakit dgn O2 tank who fell in love with a boy who had cancer, then the boy died… sedih jugak la citer dia…

 

Aku baru google, movie tu tajuk dia the fault in our stars, from 2014…

 

Basically dalam movie tu dia ada cakap pasal number 0 to 1, aku tak berapa nak ingat the context but the gist of it, despite the difference between 0 to1 is only 1, but if you consider 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001… there are infinite numbers within these 2 integers…

 

Rasa mcm boleh relate dgn hidup kita dalam dunia ni kan…

 

Kalau kita tengok dari satu lensa, mungkin dengan zoom x 1, kita Nampak macam hidup kiter ni standard size je kan… macam biasa biasa je...

 

Then kalau kita zoom out, mungkin zoom x 0.001, tengok dari perspektif yg lebih besar, kita akan nampak sangat kerdil dan macam x wujud pun… tapi kalau kita zoom in, try lensa zoom x 1000, and really focus, we could see a million things as well… mungkin an infite things jugak kot…

 

So yg aku cuba sampaikan kat sini is how we see hidup kita, or specifically our existence, will depend on how we view it, and not just at what… samada kita nak nampak just another speck of dust in the universe, or you wanna focus and be the main, or a major thing that exists… so if you ever felt small or insignificant, like youve accomplished nothing major, take a step back and change lense on how you view life... you could see many things to be grateful for, to be proud of, to feel excited about and just know that your existence matters... cewah...

 

Okla disebabkan aku rasa otak aku makin jammed, I will just leave this thought at this… semoga bermanfaat… I better get my fix of nestum drink to start the day… toodles~~iqq

 

During the sharing, I didn’t simply read what I had written on FB, but I kinda made a summary of it.. what surprised me is that everyone was quite taken aback by what I had shared…


I am not sure if it was what i said, or my delivery on what i said... maybe both... maybe they didn’t expect that I would share something deep considering I have always been the goofy and silly one in the team.. 


I am not sure if all, but I would say that most of them clapped… not sure why the clapping though.. but it feels good, I feel appreciated, and feel seen… 



so much so that some of them even brought it up again in the chat group and during lunch.. saying that I had said something deep.. I do agree that it’s a deep tought about life and existence but I am pretty sure that most of us have thought about it too.. am I wrong??

 2. My wife’s work

 Its been almost 2 months my wife started working with Aveva. The work itself is quite standard I think. The usual struggle for the first couple of months trying to catch up and understanding the work flow etc.

She complains about the HR team is mostly Chinese and they speak Chinese among themselves, which is so not professional.



And since my wife is on a fixed term employment, there are some benefits/perks that she is not entitled to.. and that she would often hear from the others in her team talking about… I totally understand how this can be frustrating. My advise to her is to keep sending applications for other jobs.. this aveva is not a permanent position, so there’s like this pass, of not needing to feel guilty to leave the job since in 18 months, it will be over too..



For now this job is the one helping us in paying the bills and staying afloat, so frustrated or not, she will just have to brush it aside, while keep putting effort into finding something better, something permanent, probably somewhere she could potentially retire at.. insyallah..

 



3.       3. Moving office

 

As per my boss, we will leave Dayabumi office by December this year. The exact last date is yet to be finalized. By early December we will be given a box for us to pack our things to be delivered to the new office in CIMB hub in Raja Chulan.



I believe the proposal on the seating arrangement at the new office has been shared, not sure if its finalized yet.. I don’t really mind to be honest.. as long as I have my own table and I have a job, that’s good enough for me..



The new office is nearer to my wife’s office in Tower 3 KLCC, so that’s a good thing.

Also, for the month of January of 2026, everyone from Dayabumi will be working from home.. I suppose its because the new office on level 20 of CIMB hub is expected to be ready for move in by February of 2026.. I already spoke about it with my wife and she said she will be taking the MRT during this one month of me WFHing… I will still send and fetch her to and from UPM MRT during this time. The easier option is to take the KTM but she has had bad experiences with KTM being delayed for an hour so its understandable..

 

 4. Puasa 2 bulan

 

I have gained weight… about 5 kg of weight since September.. I don’t go running as often as I used to, and I don’t really watch I eat.. and since I know I have been less disciplined for the past 2 months, the weight increase is expected..



I still go running once a while.. I am thinking of hitting the gym at almyra.. but ive just been plain lazy..

Another thing I intend to try is to do the intermittent fasting thingy.. or maybe just regular fasting.. I don’t know yet.. also, I don’t know if I am able to.. I don’t know if I have a medical condition or what.. I just cannot go on not eating for a long time.. I would feel gassy/bloated and kinda dizzy.. dalam BM kita panggil perut masuk angin, dan pening kepala.. niat mmg da lama ada nak puasa tapi mcm susah sangat nak commit.. its different in Ramadan coz everyone is also fasting, so for some reason I can cope with the no eating for a long period of time..



Maybe I am just making excuses kan.. I am sure if I really put my mind and focus on doing it, I will be able to.. maybe I will start this fasting thingy after my trip to Gunung Ledang, or maybe I will start in December… we see how it goes.. lolz

 

5.       5. Gunung Ledang & EBC

 

This Saturday 22/11/2025, I will be joining azhan, dino, ain and hairi to go hiking to Gunung Ledang.. Dalino has offered to drive, the hike will start at around 7am, and finishes around 5pm..



The drive to Sagil (Tangkak) will take around 2 hours from Bandar Puteri Bangi, so I guess we will need to travel before 5am.

Makanan kena bawak sendiri2.. I am thinking to buy the Oobun from TikTok and I will bring some for me to eat during the hike..



I hope it will be a fun trip, and that I will be able to complete it without any issue.

It’s a long hike, about 8-9 hours hike, so I expect my calory burned would be over 1000 calories.. I will be sure to track my activity using my garmin watch..

ok nak selit sikit..

Last month or 2 months back, my friend from Auckland Kerry Kline went to the EBC (Everest Base Camp) hiking trip.. I believe the trip was 11 days long.. and he posted a video from someone else who had gone to the EBC trip and the view was phenomenal..



Aku memang memasang Impian to go on the trip too, but its one dream that I have doubt that I will be able to fulfill.. 



macam sedih jugak la bila fikir mcm impossible for me to go on this trip kan… tapi takpe la… bukan semua benda dalam hidup ni kita nak kita akan dapat… tapi tak salah pun untuk memasang Impian… kalau ada rezeki, insyallah dapat… kalau x dapat, maknanya itu la yg terbaik buat diri ini… kita fikir postive je la kan...



6. Podcast Hazeman Huzair & Papayen

 Takda apa nak citer pun… lately I have been listening to a number of podcasts, namely studio sembang Amelia Henderson, Keluar Sekejap KJ & SH, Sembang seram Safwan Nazri, Borak Selebriti Dina Nazir & Faliq.. banyak2 podcasts ni memang aku layan, dan tetamu pun diberi ruang dan peluang yg banyak to share their thoughts, opinions or experiences...



So yg latest aku dengar ni hazeman & papayen and they talk about the randomest things.. ada sekali tu the guest was Madnor who is famous on TikTok about his gigi penjarakan social, I believe the topic was about how men are supposed to be responsible and financial advice to men, especially the ones married with kids etc..

I do like their podcast, tapi yg latest aku tengok ni the guest was Shafiq nasir and I don’t really know what the topic was… I just got so irritated and meluat because of how they do the podcast..


Meluat in english is annoyed, kan??

In my humble opinion, they should’ve allowed the guest they had invited to talk more, ask questions more, bukan nya bebel borak2 berdua je.. if you listen to this episode, aku rasa Shafiq nasir cakap 10% je.. the rest of the episode mmg diorang berdua je borak dan share their own experiences… pada aku macam tak professional dan macam syok sendiri..

tanya soalan pastu baru guest tu jawab sikit diorang da potong, pastu citer pasal pendapat/experience dia sendiri pulak... eh kesian tau tetamu ko tu...



Aku faham je lelaki2 lembut ni memang suka berbual.. suka bila attention tu dapat kat diri mereka sendiri… tapi itu perangai adik adik sangat… awak tu dah late 30s kan… patutnya tahu untuk behave sikit perangai tu, to be more respectful especially to the guest that you invited… I honestly didn’t finish the episode, maybe halfway through I just got too meluat…



Memang la benda yang dia borakkan tu mostly baik dan bermanfaat, tapi macam kesian kat guest tu sikit sangat air time untuk dia…

And I am not the only one who thinks so… aku rasa more than 10 comments I saw pun say the same thing… and I left a comment too… ikut depa la kalau nak ikut ke tak suggestion aku tu…



Oklah sampai di sini saja coretan aku.. it is now 1613… tak lama pun aku bebel… x sampai 2jam pun..

Till next time.. later~~
