Looks like my first million (RM) is getting harder and takes longer to achieve. Do you know how to self calculate your first million? It must be on your "Net worth", not on how much cash you have. Ok, this is just a basic calculation: Networth = Asset - Liability (Asset = Cash, Houses, Cars, Jeweleries, Art & Collectibles, Stocks, Bonds, unit trusts, EPF etc.) (Liability = Home loan, car loan, credit cards debts etc.) note: you can also add how much you spend every year on households and "bots", but normally you don't. Looking at the above equation, you don't need to be a mathematician to understand that every year the liability increases. Though some assets like houses increase, you still get depreciation value on cars and relative value (up and down) on stocks or unit trusts. There you go. While someone i know is getting a Nissan Fairlady for a ride, i am still far away from my first million. But this is blessing in disguise. I will work...

Suddenly, my blog hits have reached to a staggering average number of .. yes .. 5 unique visitors per day. Well, it is such a huge success for me as this is an increase of 70% from the previous average of 3 unique visitors per day. If i were in a corporate world, 70% increase means promotion to Senior Vice President .. While i am celebrating this huge phenomenon success on my side (no i cant celebrate the N9 winning feat of Piala Malaysia), i keep pondering on how i can successfully promote my blog. Definitely readers are looking for something new, and sensational. I am not 'cute' or handsome, and definitely a turn off to female readers .. ha ha. The last time i had readers from Australia, and this last 2 days, i have a reader from NYC!! Look at my visitors' map. *so proud* .n.g.

It's a RM2.8mil contract to a French company. Do you know how long did it take for me to finalize the contract agreement? two weeks of sleepless night!! And someone that was supposed to format the document took the older version, format that document and converted to PDF. I was preoccupied with something else and didnt have time to check. Consequently we sent the wrong document to Paris. I had to call the Sales and Marketing Director of Sofrelog, an EADS company to apologize on the mistake. Luckily he accepted my explaination, simply because we have been working together for the last 4 years. My lesson today, check every single document before sending out though you have given the right document first time. People tend to screw up as they don't really care. They are not in charge but YOU are! This is my second entry today. That shows how stressed i am today! Well, seems that Chuck Season 2 is a good program to watch now. A Bientot! .n.g.

Through out my life, i came out with many crazy ideas. Most of the time out of nowhere. The most frequent and famous of all time is from within the toilet. Yes, toilet or a better word should we say the "restroom" (for the sake of younger reader ie. 27 and below). Somehow, for those who don't really know me, they once labeled me as "strange", "weird" and "slow". OK, we are here not to talk about what those people think, but rather on how my instinctively crazy weird idea is somehow accepted by a friend! Yes, i told him to write a book, and he was like jumping up and down on this simplest idea. Strange but true! (so can i say he is as crazy as i am?) What would be more exciting is that i would be writing probably a few lines for every chapters or may be on some arrangement that we have not decided. We'll see then how it goes. So where's the manuscript my friend?!! .n.g.

It took me so long to realize that this song is about how women should leave their bf/lovers or whatsoever when they are being abused. MCR includes so many of tragedy in their songs, as Welcome to the Black Parade talks about the 9/11. These phrases say it all: Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading So sick and tired of all the needless beating But baby when they knock you Down and out It's where you oughta stay And after all the blood that you still owe Another dollar's just another blow So fix your eyes and get up Better get up While you can

Everyone needs their own privacy. It is the only time we can think of our self, our own problem, our own road ahead ... our own recovery, from hardship, heartache or even success story. Funny, I had not heard anyone ever said they had never been battered. I had never heard they were always at ease. I guess hardship is the way to live our life. It is how we get stronger everyday. Myself, need to learn to let go the past, and even sometimes friends that i dear the most. It is how the world works. Something good will not last forever. Something bad, will not last forever either. The End. .n.g.

It was 1pm on the 9th of October 2005. It was Ramadhan and i need to send Malik back home because we have been waiting in the labour room for like 2 hours now. Well, i was there before when Malik was born and it took more than 4 hours before he showed his head. So i decided to go home and put my head down for just a few minutes before zuhur prayer. Then the phone rang, it was Lolo's voice, "Eh Nini nak beranak dah nih!!". I rushed back to Pantai Hospital and when i arrived, i see smilling faces but where's the baby? Was it still in there (perut lah)? My mom in-law quickly said, "pegi tengok kat luar tu, dia tgk bersihkan". There he was. Before i could quickly check the fingers, he smiled with 2 dimples! so prominent that i could not stop laughing! Then i took him and azan on the right side of his ear. I am still searching for the first day photos that we took that day. I lost my handphone and not sure if they are still somewhere on one of the backup CDs....

You wouldn't know how close you are to rocket science until you could figure out that you can just simply stuck a steel hanger to the back of a TV and get such an excellent reception. I, on the other hand, had proved that rocket science is what we are made of from our day to day experience. I guess people at NASA had tried using paper clips, stapler bullets, coins and whatnot (eerr, borrowed writing style from someone here ;-)) in order to boost the signal on their space shuttle. What make me sad about the mentality of our Malaysian is that they have always undermined the magic of simple solution. Rest assured, project "creep" is based on paper clips, stapler bullets, coins and whatnot (oh not again ... ish i could be summoned for this!!). .n.g.

ok, when i said next week, it means after Raya. These are the things that i plan to do or not to do after raya: 1. Sleep early coz i need to wake up early and feel fresh at work. 2. Read and understand every single things that i do (coz sometimes i dont even know what i'm doing) 3. Slowly moving out to the new house (i like this one) 4. 20mins walk every alternate day after work. 5. Eat fruits in the morning. 6. Take my calcium+vit C drinks once a day. 7. No more Facebook or what so ever unless someone send me a message. 8. No more makan2 sedap that can make me gain back the 2 kilos i lost during puasa. 9. No more super cold ice drink but subtitute with 7 glasses of plain warm water. 10. No more pointless kacau2 member kat gmail/YM especially when they repeatedly write "ttyl" or "busy busy" :-) The above points should give me strength and focus on the RM15mil project that i am handling. This blog will be quiet for a while. Take care and Selamat ...

There is no answer for everything. There will never be. We may decide on something yesterday, and knowing it was a wrong one the next day. A friend was asking about what will be the best next step to take, and i really can't give any answer. What i can tell, choose which ever you think it is right today, but never regret if it is a wrong one tomorrow. I guess, everybody lives to make a choice. But which one? .n.g.

There are reasons on why human must forget. The brain is designed to accept certain input and input overflow can cause a person to become insane, lost, metally ill etc. Have you ever watched a movie called Rain Man, where Dustin Hoffman could memorize the whole Yellow Pages but can barely manage himself? That is what happened when there are too much input but no output. Our brain can only accept a certain amount of information at one go. To be able to add more input, we must erase some and hence we tend to forget. So be glad when you are forgetting of something. As we humans are referred as "an-nas" in the holy Quran, which means "the forgetful ones". That's why you can see certain "ayat" are being repeated in the same "surah". This is to show how weak and forgetful we are! Nevertheless, be thankful! p/s: Looks like i am forgetting something down there .. hehe .n.g.

I always emphasize that this blog is about reminding myself, it should not reflect on other people. As we just human, who are we to judge people. As much as i want, i want to be kind to everyone. But how far can we go? When people ask for help, most of the time every human are willing to help. It is just natural. It will motivate you that the fact you have done a good deed. But i bet everyone had experience when while you are giving the help, the person you are helping makes you feel as if you are the one who wanting to help instead. In simple Malay "terhegeh-hegeh nak menolong". I reckon this is one of the reason why we see today people are "reluctant" to help. We are scared. We don't want to be labelled "terhegeh-hegeh". And i can understand why because i've felt the same for so many times. But did i ever quit? No. Because we can only do so much. We can't decide for everything. We can't tell people what to think. Be Kind. Be Nice...

I always wanted to run again. My back will not allow me to force myself to run as i used to. Unexpectedly today, i read a blog from a man who is twice my age yet still having the spirit to run a marathon. He had been in coma a few years back due to an accident. i will write more later. it is time to run (or rather walk!) Ok, i just finished my 20 min walk. It is a combination of slow walk and fast walk. I will keep this pace for a week then only i will add to 30 min walk. This will last for a few weeks until i am ready to run again. Since Ramadhan is coming, a night walk would be nice. Feel free to check this blog http://oldmanrunning.org .n.g.
