benci nye keadaan sekarang ni

salam semua..

pada masa sekarang ni aku berada dalam keadaan yg agak tertekan.. tapi xda la teruk sgt pon.. sbb mungkin da jadi kebiasaan aku untuk tidak dwell in stressful emotions.. being stressed is not good for my health.. not good for anyone's health..

mungkin perisai anti-stress aku cukup bagus untuk halang aku dari terus2an berada dalam keadaan stress.. its not really a shield tho.. its just.. just forget about it..

haaa this reminds me of the guy from True Detective Woody something his name, when he was presenting an award at the Emmy recently with Matthew Mcconahey (damn i dunno the spelling).. Matthew was saying he's really impressed with that woody guy that he can simply forget his problems.. just like that.. hahaha.. i think i probably have the same ability as he does.. whenever somethings is bugging me and its actually a silly thing, i'd just forget about it..

well, now i am choosing not to forget about it coz i have other things to story mory here..
these past few days have been sooooo tiring for me..
owh i forgot to mention.. I am still onboard this FPSO in Ghana.. and still in this so called site visit job here..

but the past few days i did more than just survey.. i did some checking at the JB and inside the speakers as well.. tapi xda la aku nak check semua speaker.. only the ones yg aku suspect rosak dan high load disebabkan water ingress.. and i was right.. ada dalam 10 speaker la semuanya..
da la installed kat tempat2 tinggi jadi aku memerlukan bantuan staff modec untuk mengakses speaker2 tersebut.. bantuan dari segi memegang tangga dan safety harness ketika memanjat untuk mengakses speaker2 tersebut..

mamat2 yg tolong aku tu nama die Samuel, org Ghana umor 26, muda dari aku setahun.. keje asyik cakap pasal nak kawen dan nak main pompuan sajorkk.. aku layankan aje la kan.. pastu salu buat joke yg aku tak faham.. ok bukan x faham tapi more like "what?? was that a joke??" and i didnt find them funny pon.. tapi untuk mengelakkan situasi awkward, aku senyum2 kucing aje la.. (eh ada ke peribahasa senyum kucing?)

owh, da alang2 aku citer pasal orang Modec, meh sini nak story sikit pasal sorang brader indonesia ni keje sini gak.. die orang jaga radio room kalau x silap aku.. tapi dia ni keje shift malam iaitu dari 1800 sampai 0600.. so aku jumpe die time brekfes pagi2 dan time dinner petang2.. nama die A. Ghozali.. baik orangnyer.. sebelum ni keje di Sarawak, jadi dia cakap x bunyi mcm indon sgt la pasal die reti cakap mcm org Malaysia cakap..

ada lagi sorang brader orang Miri, nama dia Jamal.. tapi die pon vendor keje kat sini buat blasting ape tah utk buang karat kat dinding kapal.. or something like that.. aku cam x faham time die citer die keje buat apa.. aku assume2 je la.. dia pon baik la friendly suka cerita2 pasal kapal tu dan company dia.. die keje dgn company kat vietnam kaedahnye dan die supervise orang2 vietnam yg buat keje blasting tu kat kapal ni.. wah tetiba cerita pasal kisah kerja orang, apahal??

dalam kepala otak aku sekarang takda lain fikir nak balik je ni.. haa cukup2 la kat sini.. my last offshore job i stayed for 10days.. and this time around i am gone stay for 15 days.. aku tak sanggup nak stay any longer than that.. mungkin for my next job assignment i will stay much longer offshore.. who knows.. well, if it is I will prepare myself for that.. (haa nak prepare apa pon aku x sure, tapi saja je cakap konon hebat)

ada beberapa hari lagi kat sini aku nye keje pon boleh kata da siap da.. tinggal operational system test dgn inventory check tu je lagi dalam work pack aku tu.. pastu tinggal nak finalize findings dgn report sajork.. semoga semua berjalan lancar..

semalam ada gado sikit dgn tunang.. aku rasa punca sebab aku penat dan aku tegur die something pastu die nak marah lak.. and pasal in my previous post yg aku post draft tu ada gambar my ex gf..
haih.. ntah la kadang aku x faham pompuan ni.. betul la orang cakap women are not meant to be understood but loved.. so aku rasa aku layankan aje la jugak..

well, aku rasa ramai je penah alami perkara camni kan.. aku malas nak panjangkan cerita.. nnt bila dia da cool aku pujok la.. sekarang kalau contact pon die tak layan.. mmg jenis dia suka xmau layan orang bila die marah.. tapi kalau org x layan die baru dia tahu marah..

and owh while we are on the topic of girls,, heres another meme for ya..

owh.. ada lagi satu benda nak citer..

my exgf sanis is getting married next week i guess.. congratulations to her.. i know there is a chance that she will read this.. so here i wanna to congratulate you in advance and i pray for the majlis to berjalan lancar and above all semoga you two bahagia dunia dan akhirat.. insyallah..

i can anticipate my fiance will say "x bgtau pon bila dia kawen bla bla bla.."

so i have already prepared an answer to that "saya nak bgtau tapi awak xmau cakap dgn saya, salu nau merajok.. and also i didnt tell earlier because i just found out because i didnt have wifi here on the ship.. so here i tell you thru my blog which i think you only read once in 2 months.."

okla sehingga di lain masa.. time for me to mandi and solat and tido..

later~~

i think im gonna love this entry..

yg di bawah ni adalah sebuah draft yer.. post ni sebenarnye aku nak publish time tahun 2011, maybe i was feeling nostalgic then and i was going thru the photos in my laptop.. anyhow, walaupun post ni nampak macam separuh siap (mmg separuh siap pun).. aku nak post gak as it is.. and no i didnt edit anything pun.. mmg draft yg asal.. takpe la kan.. watper nak edit.. it is apart of the story..

*********************************************************************************

salam..
malam ni aku free sikit pasal aku tak pegi ngaja tusyen so aku pon nak make full use of this free time yg julung2 kali datang.. i was looking at my old photos and then felt so nostalgic.. then rasa macam nak upload some of these old photos on facebook but then i thought haaa thats so cliche and common so i didnt.. then i thot.. why not upload them here in my blog so... here are some photos i wish to share here.. start with 2008..

yes aku berlakon during malam ambang merdeka

I wondered why Hairi took like 4 photos like this.. only then i knew of his crush

 

Someone said my hair looks cool in this shot

 haaa then theres the BECA BBQ at Western Spring

With Rafi.. a good alim guy..

haaa acap.. and yes he did rebonding his hair..

to your right...

and your left..

Runway bitches....

hahaha epic!!

At epens room making silly faces

huhuhu theres many more photos but takkan la nak upload sumer kan..

atas laut takda keje

bosan bosan bosan..

keje ada banyak tapi tak boleh buat keje.. pastu xda orang nak tolong lak tu.. sakit nye hati..
so nak baut caner kan.. kena la sabar je tunggu ontua botak ni buat keje lain pasal pastu baru die boleh tolong..

haaa da la banyak lagi nak kena buat ni..

*********************************************************************************

part yg atas tu aku tulis tadi time kat office time aku tgh taktau nak buat apa..
tapi skrg da malam da kat sini.. skrg pukol 8.11pm.. selalunya kat atas kapal ni kol8 aku da berselubung dalam bilik yg sejuk tu dan bersedia untuk tidur..

tapi harini aku rasa xpe la kot aku rasa cam nak tido lambat sikit.. sebabnye aku rasa cam nak tulis satu post dalam blog aku ni.. tapi pada firasat aku post kali ini takda la panjang sangat pon..

ada a few things aku nak share kat sini..

1. tadi lepas dinner, aku makan ikan dan sayur je kat sini sbb x yakin halal ke tak daging kat sini.. tapi aritu aku ada tanya sorang ghana ni dia kata dia islam, nama dia isaka.. dia kata daging kambing ayam lembu sumer halal.. tp aku tnya kat cheg yg masak tu halal ke tak, dia cam xtau pon halal tu apa.. so disebabkan itu aku merasa ragu2 nak makan lalu aku hanya makan ikan dan sayur..

2. harini hari ke 8 aku berada atas laut ni.. aku ada anta email kat supervisor aku tu kata berapa byk keje lagi tinggal dan minta extension utk siapkan keje ni, ikut plan asal aku akan balik 5sept iaitu esok tp sbb cam byk lg keje aku minta extension..
pastu dia forward kat boss die.. tapi boss dia yg lama tu da habis rotation, ada boss baru datang, dia taktau apa citer.. die minta antoin mamat pinoy tu tanya aku estimate baper hari lagi.. aku pon cite la apa keje yg tinggal.. dan2 si pinoy ni estimate aku perlukan 6 hari lagi kena extent.. dan die kata aku kena stay sampai jumaat depan.. i was like "what?!!??!???!!!!"
damn son aku nak balik kot..tp at the same time nak duit elaun byk.. skrg rasa cam serba salah..
tapi malas la nak runsing pasal tu.. yg penting keje siap kan.. kalau kena stay sampai jumaat pon takpe la..

3. haaa benda yg ketiga ni la sebab utama aku nak memblog pada malam ni. selama sudah beberapa malam, lepas solat maghrib (maghrib masok kol 6.20pm dan isya 7.30pm) aku akan hanya lepak di bilik dan membaca balik post2 blog Friendster aku..
aku ada sempat simpan archive semua post kat dalam blog fs aku tu.. tp unfortunately mungkin ada beberapa post yg selepas aku simpan archive tu tetiba fs da x wujud, dan terus semua post2 kat blog fs aku tu hilang.. aku sangat sedih dgn kehilangan blog fs tersebut..
tp aku sangat bersyukur kerana aku telah sempat menyimpan archive, mana yg sempat, kerana post2 dalam blog tu sangat bermakna pada aku..
dan selama beberapa hari ni sementara menunggu masuk isya aku akan membaca blog aku satu post ke satu post dan aku sangat sukakanya..
aku akui ada post yg best dan ada post yg suam suam suku, ada post yg syok sendiri dan ada post yg mmg bosan..
tp walaupon begitu semua nya aku sayang.. because they are apart of me..
bila aku baca balik tulisan aku, its as if i was 20yo again.. i was the young izuan gain studying in NZ.. its like a video tape where i wud see myself and being in the stories which i wrote in those posts..
haaa.. no words can describe what i feel.. sangat mereminisce.. sangat nostaljik.. dan ia membuat aku tersenyum seorang..
masa berlalu pantas.. tanpa kita sedar da 4 tahun berlalu sedari masa aku seorang student..aku buntu bicara, taktau apa nak kata.. tapi yg aku tau aku sangat sayang masa lalu..
mungkin itu satu perkara bodoh.. atau mungkin juga ianya bukan.. tp yg pasti apa yg telah terjadi, apa saja yg telah aku tuliskan dalam blog fs aku.. segala kejadian, segala peritiwa yg aku ceritakan.. they are what had made me who i am.. for every shit i was in.. i am utterly grateful.. for all the love and hate which i had felt.. they are forever cherished.. for everything..during that time i was a student in NZ, also the time when i was doing practical work at kilang2.. and those times i spent with my friends.. places we visited.. things we did.. for everything that was captured in the blog, which might have escaped my mind.. i am soooo effing happy and glad that i wrote them..

ok i think that is enough of reminiscing.. its 8.30pm already and i need to sleep coz i got work tomorrow..
esok aku mahu measure load impedance dari junction box(s) yg aku sudah jumpa tadi.. omaigod the location diagram was wrong and it was gila susah nak locate those JB.. but now that i have found them.. i can start my work easy..

haaa ok till next time.. nnt cerita lagi..

btwm time tulis blog kat fs, i never inserted any photo pun.. tp its still very enjoyable..

saya travel lagi..

salam..

sekarang ni aku berada di Accra Ghana.. arrived here yesterday morning at 1140am Ghana time.
time difference between here and Singapore is 8 hours.
My flight from Singapore was at 1.40am on the 24th of September, Sunday.. transit at Dubai for 3 hours.. so in total, my journey from Changi to Accra took 18hours.. lama gila kan..

so right now i'm in my hotel room. i'm staying at Holiday Inn, very near to the airport.
Cantik gak Hotel ni.. bilik pun selesa

Dont know what to do nor where to go here.. next to this hotel there's a mall called Marina Mall. It is really small compared to the malls we have in Malaysia.. it took my 10 minutes to finish walking around the mall and see all the stores inside..

there's supermarket inside and i bought snacks for me to osel osel when in hotel room.. ok barang sini mahal ok compared to kat malaysia.. pastu beli kepok yg mcm pringles tu, tp nama die  uncle's snack tp rasa x sedap langsung ibarat makanan orang diabetis jer tawar leweh..

mall xda wayang xda arcade or any entertainment.. super lame, and i am bored again.. hence this blogpost, which i am not sure the purpose of it other than as a means for me to menghilangkan bosan..

haa still bosan though..

ok lemme story a bit about the purpose of my trip to Ghana this time.
Honestly, I myself am not entirely certain but this is what the Client sent to us..

haaa.. aci x aku nak chuak sikit pasal kerja ni.. rasa cam x cukop confident lagi sebenarnyer nak buat benda ni.. 

mungkin sebab kena buat sengsorang kan.. haaaa.. chuak chuak..

tapi apa lah chuak tu dapat buat untuk tolong aku pon.. feeling nervous aint gonna help me here.. it could make things worse je nanti..

so baik kita cool je kan.. dan hadapkan aje apa keje kena buat.. insyaallah Allah tolong kita buat keje kalau ikhlas dan jujur.. cewah..

so kisahnyer esok driver akan ambik dari hotel ke airport and aku akan naik flight lagi ke Takoradi, dari Takoradi akan naik chopper ke FPSO Jubilee.. jadual kerja yg dirancangkan adalah selama 5 hari je.. tp i am not convinced that it'll take only 5 days.. probably more.. which i have no issues against that to be honest.. the longer the better sbb dalam kumpol duit allowance offhsore..

tp kekdahnyer orang malaysia yg akan nak aku balik cepat, my fiance my mak my bapak..

theyre worried of my safety especially now after several cases of ariplane disaster.. missing MH370 and the shooting down of MH17.. Alfatihah kepada mangsa2.. dan kesian dgn family mereka.. nak buat camner.. ini kan qada' dan qadar ketentuan-Nya..

ok kesian jugak kat MAS pasal kena hadapi tragedi2 ni.. memburukkan reputasi dan nama baik MAS.. tp aku still menaruh keyakinan dgn keupayaan MAS sbb benda yg da jadi ni xda saper boleh duga and it couldve happened to any airline.. orang lain yg x yakin dgn MAS dan xnak naik MAS tu lantak depa la..

owh speaking of airlines.. ni nak habaq sikit ni.. aritu masa dtg Ghana from Singapore aku naik Emirates Business Class kau.. haaaa #kelaskaumaria..

aku mengaku it was my first time and i was so excited.. ok mmg best pon.. everything was so much better..

the seat, the food, the service.. peramugara peramugari semua sangat friendly dgn penumpang business class.. haaa mungkin Emirates sahaja begitu, mungkin airlines lain x macam tu.. itu aku tak pasti sebab baru sekali naik business class..

and the best part was dapat menunggu kat Emirates lounge yg ada kerusi sedap dgn byk tempat nak charge phone, sambil ada buffet utk makan mcm2.. ada pastry, sandwich, kek, juices.. mmg best la.. tp sumer makanan lite2 je la.. xda la die kasi steak pizza or pasta time nak menunggu2 kat lounge tu..

Emirates Business Lounge in Changi

can adjust seat jadi bed.. oh so ohsem

besar screen kau

belanja selfie sikit #noob

breakfast

Lunch - Appetizer

main course lamb biryani

dessert citrus cake

the atmosphere, the ambient and the feeling of being in the lounge tu is what makes travelling business class better.. bak kata si salleh, terdapat jurang kasta yg jelas antara kelas ekonomi dgn kelas business.. apatah lagi first class.. dan selepas da pernah naik business class ni aku setuju dgn apa Salleh cakap tu..

aku ni pon nasib baik je dpt naik BC sebab client yg belikan tiket pegi Ghana ni.. kalau nak harapkan Omega belikan mmg tak merasa la jawabnyer.. mesti nak carik yg paling murah kan.. so pendek kata ni la rezeki aku dan mungkin lepas ni xtau la bila lagi nak merasa naik BC..

bebudak servis lain pon cam byk tanya "weh nape kau dpt naik business class weh?" lepas aku post gambar boarding pass aku kat instagram.. haha.. jawab aku senang je.. client yg belikan..

haaa.. tetiba teringat lagi satu cerita bila cakap pasal post gambar kat instagram..

ni pon sebab aku ada post gambar no giliran aku time pergi interview Sapura Kencana Petroleum dekat Hotel Renaissance JB itu hari..

aku interview untuk position project engineer based in Lumut Perak..

haaa belum pape lagi da berangan tau nak keje Perak.. tapi mengikut firasat dan intuisi aku berdasarkan apa yg terjadi sewaktu interview itu, aku rasa macam aku da dapat keje tu..

based on what the interviewer said "i really like you, you're very projectable and know how to sell yourself"

itu ayat die awal2.. i was happy to hear that but didnt think it meant anything.. then he said this "i will put in in Project Team, under E&I division. You will be reporting to E&I manager who is currently in SK HQ in KL.."

time tu aku blur gila.. then he continued..

"so for now until December or early January you will be based in KL, then after detailed Engineering Stage, you will be stationed at Lumut for the project"

pastu he wrote my name in his small book, together with my no giliran, degree apa, contact number and email add etc etc..

and i was shocked, but inside i was overwhelmed with excitement.. what does this mean?? do i get the job??? i dont fucking know!!! but to me it sure sounds like ive gotten the job..

but i am trying hard to not get my hopes high because anything can happen kan.. selagi belum dpt official offer selagi tu aku takkan menaruh harapan setinggi gunung.. xda official offer so jgn berangan please..

so itu lah kisah aku pegi walk in interview SKP yg byk gila orang time tu.. haaa.. berjam2 aku menunggu.. aku dah usaha, dah buat apa yg aku boleh buat.. skrg ni tunggu je la jawapan die.. ada rezeki insyallah..

tapi kalau da ditakdirkan aku x dpt pun, aku syukur sbb dpt peluang gi interview tu.. lagipun aku suka dgn keje aku skrg..sbb sgt relax dan tak stress.. lebih2 lagi sbb berpeluang travel pegi negara orang sana sini..

tahun ni je aku da pergi travel 3 negara asing yg aku takkan pergi kalau bukan kerana Omega Integration..

Myanmar in February, Qatar in April and now Ghana in August..

TQ Omega and TQ God for this opportunity.. sesungguhnya aku hanya akan doakan yg terbaik untuk aku dan orang2 sekeliling aku.. keluarga dan sahabat2.. kalau dpt SK, aku yakin itu yg terbaik untuk aku.. kalau x dpt maknanya Omega is whats best for me.. simple kan fikir camtu..

i just received a news saying that Sharul, my colleague whom i went to Qatar with was admitted to Hospital just now.. im not sure of his condition.. maybe he was admitted because of his back pain which he'd been complaining since last week.. after his trip to Korea.. aritu cakap xleh bangun sbb sgt sakit.. my frens and i managed to visit him at Pulai after Che Ta's housewarming last time..

i pray that he'll recover soon.. my prayers are with you buddy..

owh speaking of friends, another ex colleague of mine, ex Omegarian Shafiq Yahini da selamat diijabkabulkan dgn kekasih hatinya siti Hajjar.. 

kenduri aritu boleh kata hampir semua Omegarians and ex Omegarians dtg kat Pekan Kayu Ara Pasong Pontian.. I went there with my lovely fiance..

sedap makannyer.. Alhamdulillah..

we took photos with the pengantin but not using our phones la.. photographer yg amekkan.. yg amek guna camera sndiri gambar2 dgn kawan2 je la..

ok kegemokan semakin menjadi jadi.. tp xpe la.. nnt gi la senam kasi kurus balik.. haha.. citacita murni sgt..

haaa ni nak share something yg xda kena mengena.. paintings yg ada sekitar kawasan hotel ni yg aku rasa agak unit dan cantik.. so here they are.. african themed..

oklah aku cam da xda idea nak citer ape lagi.. nnt kita borak lagi yer.. 

nak gi carik makan kat restoran bawah tu..

kendian~~

Da lama sungguh kiranya aku tak berbual dalam blog kesayangan ini..

X perlu la aku membebel menerangkan akan sebab musabab akan kehilangan dan kesepian blog ini setelah lebih sebulan ditinggalkan.. xda sapa yg peduli dan alasan aku hanya lah alasan semata2..

Sekarang aku merasa seperti mahu berborak seorang diri dan di mana lagi tempat yg lebih afdhol untuk aku ceritakan kisah sendu hidup lara aku ni kalau bukan di dalam ni.. di mana semua benda hanyalah kata kata dan tiada apa yg betul2 solid molid untuk dijadikan fakta kes atau untuk memenangi argument.. wah awal2 lagi da merepek-pepek..

Ada beberapa perihal yg ingin aku ketengahkan..

Yg pertama adalah berkenaan kisah perbandingan antara pelaburan dalam saham amanah bumiputera against the famous unit trust (public mutual, cwa etc..)

Kisah aku dgn unit amanah bermula seawal aku berusia 21 tahun, iaitu pada tahun 2008, aku telah pulang ke tanah air membawa sejumlah uang tunai sebanyak lebih kurang rm10k untuk dilaburkan..

Aku diperkenalkan dgn seorang agent unit amanah yg mewakili cwa (cimb wealth advisor)..tapi malang nyer aku da lupa akan nama encik tu.. dan aku takda niat pun nak ingat nama lelaki tu sbb die adalah seorang yg tidak bertanggungjawab..

Kisahnyer.. ketika aku pulang ke Malaya pada cuti musim panas tahun 2007/2008 aku telah membawa pulang sejumlah uang yg agak lemayan hasil pemberian generous encik MARA sewaktu tahun pertama pengajian, sepatutnye digunakan untuk beli barang itu ini termasuklah buku2 untuk pengajian kejuruteraan. Tapi faculty engineering kami sangat bermurah hati kerana mereka menyediakan nota2 dan kertas kerja untuk pelajar, mungkin juga kos untuk semua nota dan kertas kerja itu sudah termasuk dalam yuran pengajian, itu aku tak pasti.

Anyhow, berbekal uang sebanyak rm10k aku telah membuat pelaburan dalam unit amanah melalui CWA.. dan selama 3 tahun aku tidak mengusik uang itu, dan selepas tempoh pengajian aku tamat dan aku pulang ke Malaya pada tahun 2011, aku telah cuba menghubungi kembali agent CWA tersebut, tapi malang sekali manusia itu telah pun menukar no telefon nye dan gagal untuk dihubungi melalui telefon, bahkan juga melalui email.

Disebabkan kesakitan hati dan perasaan x puas hati dgn perkhidmatan dan ketidakbertanggungjawaban agen cwa tersebut aku telah membuat keputusan untuk menyemak sendiri jumlah baki pelaburan unit amanah itu setelah lebih 3 tahun di laburkan.

Alangkah terkejut dan hampa rasa hati aku bila mendapat tahu bahawa pelaburan sebanyak rm10k yg aku mulakan pada tahun 2008 itu telah mengalami kerugian. Baki pelaburan pada tahun 2011 yang aku semak pada waktu itu adalah sebanyak RM9600 walhal sewaktu mahu memulakan pelaburan, aku dikhabarkan bahawa pelaburan itu mampu menjana dividen dan bonus dgn peratusan yg jauh lebih tinggi dari asb atau skim pelaburan lain yg ada dalam Negara pada waktu itu. Aku telah dijanjikan peratusan pulangan dividen setinggi 20 – 30% setahun menerusi pelaburan unit amanah CWA tersebut.

Cuba bayangkan bertapa kecewa dan marahnya aku pada waktu itu setelah mendapati aku telah mengalami kerugian sebanyak rm400 sedangkan aku telah mengharapkan keuntungan setidak2 nya 1k or 2k hasil simpanan/pelaburan selama 3 tahun tersebut.

Akibat dari perasaan hampa dan kecewa aku telah mengambil keputusan untuk mengeluarkan semua baki uang yg masih tersimpan di dalam acc itu dan menutup terus acc tersebut. Aku kemudiannya telah berhubung dgn seorang agent public mutual bernama Jia Ling, seorang amoi yg sungguh manis perilaku dan gaya bahasanya. Hasil dari pertemuan kami itu, aku telah mengambil keputusan untuk menyimpan rm7k di dalam public mutual yg akan diuruskan oleh saudari JL. Pada mulanya aku agak sangsi akan hasil yg akan aku peroleh dari pelaburan ini, tapi atas dasar mahu mencuba dan mahu memberi peluang kedua kepada unit trust, aku telah meneruskan dgn rancangan pelaburan itu. Mungkin juga kerana JL telah Berjaya memenangi keyakinan aku tentang potensi keberuntungan pelaburan itu pada waktu tersebut, iaitu sekitar pertengahan tahun 2011.

Setahun berlalu dan pada akhir  tahun 2012 aku telah menyemak hasil pelaburan dgn jia ling. Sekali lagi aku dikejutkan dan menerima berita buruk bila aku mendapat tahun pelaburan itu telah mengalami kerugian akibat dari penurunan pasaran di Negara China. Pada masa yg sama, aku telah didedahkan tentang keselamatan dan keterjaminan pelaburan dgn ASB. Aku juga telah dimaklumkan tentang pilihan membuat pinjaman dari bank2 utama Negara seperti Maybank, CIMB, RHB dan lain lain untuk digunakan sebagai modal pelaburan dalam Amanah Saham Bumiputera oleh PMB.

Tanpa berlengah aku telah menghubungi JL dan meminta dia mengeluarkan semua uang pelaburan yg berbaki RM6800 itu dan telah menyimpannya di dalam akaun maybank aku.

Aku lalu terus pergi ke maybank dan membuat permohonan pinjaman pelaburan ASB berbekalkan baki duit yg tinggal untuk digunakan sebagai uang pembayaran balik pinjaman berjumlah rm597 untuk tahun pertama. Proses permohonan pinjaman berjalan lancer kerana aku tidak punya sejarah atau rekod kurang elok dgn bank atau mana2 institusi kewangan. Pada awal tahun berikutnya, aku menerima pulangan dividen sekitar 7.5% tapi telah diproratakan kerana tempoh pelaburan tidak sampai 1 tahun.

Tahun kedua pelaburan menampakkan hasil pelaburan yg konsisten di mana dividen dan bonus sejumlah 7.8% telah aku peroleh. Kali ini aku mendapat hasil penuh kerana tempoh pelaburan cukup 1 tahun.

Aku menggunakan sebahagian dari hasil pelaburan untuk membayar semula bayaran bulanan pinjaman pelaburan ASB dan aku bercadang untuk berbuat sedemikian sehingga tamat tempoh pembayaran balik iaitu dalam masa 25 tahun.

Sehingga kini aku masih meneruskan pelaburan dgn ASB dan berasa sangat teruja setiap kali awal tahun kerana aku bukan saja akan dapat bonus dari majikan malahan dari PMB. Namun demikian, aku harus sentiasa ingat bahawa wang bonus ASB itu aku perlu asingkan sejumlah besar untuk digunakan sebagai pembayaran balik pinjaman. Jika aku gagal berbuat demekian, aku mungkin berdepan masalah besar untuk membayar balik setiap bulan dan pelaburan ASB tersebut berkemungkinan untuk dibatalkan dan aku akan mengalami kerugian yg amat teruk.

nampaknya minat dan keinginan aku untuk meneruskan bual dalam coretan kali ini sudah sampai ke hujung nya. sehingga berjumpa di lain masa.. 

adios~~

hello dolls and assalamualaikum..

saya masih berada di Qatar, tentatively will be coming back to Malaysia on the 5th of June.. but like any other site job, we know that the going back date can change even the day before.. so i will keep my fingers crossed and hope that this time around i will be going home for real..

wah.. panjang pulak intro yg tak seberapa kepentingan nyer..

saya di office dan harini kelihatan umpama tiada kerja urgent yg perlu diusahakan..

me and sharul came up with a list of remaining work to do and all the items in the list as for this moment arent the ones that we can do.. mostly following up job with Samsung, coz apparently these Koreans arent as good as many people think they are..

despite that, I am still a fan of Korean drama series though..

so having this free time at the office. with Mr Sharul Barney had gone somewhere i dont know coz he didnt bother to tell me, i choose to fill my time with the activity i enjoy, which is blogging..

i started by reading my old posts and then i got inspired to write a new post.. also, because i feel a wee bit guilty to have sort of abandoned my blog for months..

so the main point of me blogging now is to just update some of the things that have happened in my life..
there have been plenty of events, and i have doubt that i will be able to recall them all.. but nonetheless, i will try and make sure i get it all documented in this precious blog of mine .. my precious #gollum

so here it goes..

1. I am officially an oil and gas field engineer

I am utterly grateful and happy whenever i think about this fact that I am actually working as a field/service engineer in oil and gas industry..
altho some of the ungrateful people in my company would make snarky comment saying that Omega is only Telecom vendor and our role in the oil and gas is too small to even mention..
you know what I think? I think these people are just jealous..
I simply believe that there is no job that is too small or too unimportant.. I know my job is important and I am contributing the best I can in the way that i know how

my first site was an oil rig/platform in myanmar waters. i stayed offshore for about 10 days.
the job was fairly easy and we completed the requested tasks successfully and I am truly proud of ourselve.
owh, i went there with another Singapore service engineer who is of a Myanmar nationality..

and right now I am in Qatar, working on an expansion projec of Laffan Refineryt for Diesel Hydro Treater Plant in the Ras Laffan Industrial City. I have been here for almost 7 weeks, and I have learned so much..
I am so so so so so grateful and happy for the opportunity to be here.

haviing said that, i must admit there are times when everything is so hard and it would seem like nothing is going right.. being under a tremendous amount of stress, get chased and pushed by the client, end user etcetra..
it is really hard.. and also there are times me and Sharul would get in an argument so bad that I feel like stabbing him with the screwdriver.. but at the end of the day, I am really happy to have been able to experience it all.. and i got through it with grace and dignity.. wah!!

but its not over yet.. still some minor work left to be completed.. I cannot wait to get back and see my loved ones.. owh I miss them all so much..

and owh, i made friend with an English lad whos a huge fan of Manchester United. He's working for Federal Signal, our vendor for the PAGA system installed here in Qatar.. I added him on FB and thats that..
nothings really interesting about him except for the fact that hes such a snob and so full of himself..
but hes a nice guy though..

okla, lets talk about something else..

2. Buying a house

I am sure i am not the only person around my age whos thinking about buying a house at the moment..
and its everybodys problem and concern that they cannot afford buying a house because the house prices are so freakishly high.. and it seems like they arent going down any time soon..

so this begs the question, is buying a house a good time now? what age is a good age to be buying a house?
is there any chance that the pricess might go down in the future?
How can we afford this motherfucker?

well, TBH, it isnt about the price that i have concern the most..
and yes i know its really expensive, and i cannot afford it.. but what i am more interested to talk here is the type of house that I want.

everybody is aiming to but a landed house with lawn or poarch or whatever.. but not me though..
i really am interested in buying a condo unit in the city.. one with gym and swimming pool facility.. i really see myself more as someone living in a condo than a landed house..

but my future wife does not share that ambition..
she is inclining more towards the landed house so i have to give in.. maybe its for the best..
but fret not for no decision is final yet.. i think..

damn, i ma not fret now.. and as usual, i will only worry about it when i have no choice but to..

3. Buying a new handphone

 owh its been ages that i wanted to buy a new phone.. i am still using iphone 4 which i bough in 2011.. and it is ancient..
owh no i exaggerate..
my phone is still working fine, although it fell again, for the 4th time, and the screen cracked.. its quite bad actually cause i can no longer type with numbers and punctuation when i am typing upright.. i need to tilt my phone sideways to access the buttons to the numbers and punctuation shit..

and i think the microphone is busted coz whenever i try to record a video, i cant hear a thing.. silly microphone..

but all in all, my iphone4 is still an awesome phone.. and yes i can still use it.. so there isnt really any strong reason why i should buy a new phone any time soon.. maybe i will wait for iphone6 to come out..
which i guess will be somewhen around november of December this year.. #fingerscrossed

and my fiance bought a brand new iphone5S not so long ago, and she seems to love the phone..
I havent got to see her new phone yet since I have been in Qatar for so long.. damn it i cant wait to get back..

Oklah sampai di sini sahaja perbincangan kita pada harini.. encik sharul barney da sampai dan die dah mengarahkan aku buat label untuk cabel cabel di cabinet yg macam haram jads ittew..

sehingga di lain masa.. kendian~~

saya malas

tujuan entry kali ini adalah untuk memberitahu yg laptop aku dah rosak.
ok xda la rosak laptop tu tapi keyboard nyer da jahanam.. dan aku terpaksa menggunakan on screen keyboard if i wanted to type something..
so disebabkan itu aku tak mampu untuk menulis blog yg panjang

sekarang aku di qatar, di Samsung office dekat ras laffan industrial city..
guna laptop shahrul.. ok bukan laptop shahrul, tapi laptop company..

da lama gila aku tak menulis blog.. aku ada berjuta juta barang nak diceritakan di sini..
tapi aku takda peluang itu..
aku busy bekerja.. kononnyer..

but i am serious.. i aint got the time nor the availabiltiy to write so long..

so till next time..
i hope there is a next time..
