A New Year..A New Start

Actually it all started in December last year.Praise to Allah I finally manage to get a permanent job and of all the companies I  have applied to,went for interview,I ended up in a technology based company,to be more precise,a Microsoft Certified Gold Partner.Imagine that,someone who have been out of a job for quite a long time,have very minimum knowledge about technology,at least from my job managing my own company I do  know about IT,but we mainly do hardware.... to be able to work in a technology based company!

Never give up trying and praying..that is what I've been doing,and I thank Allah for this opportunity,for his blessing.Now I have to work hard to prove that I can deliver,have to learn a lot of things along the way.I remember reading somewhere,What you can think of,you can achieve..and I certainly agree.Why?Because if we can think or imagine about something,it is within our reach and capabilities,it is just up to us to try and achieve it.

I started of as a business development executive,that is what I apply for,and that is the position I was offered.But after the first month I realized that I can give much more,at least I thought and believe I can.So after a discussion with my boss,actually it was more a heart to heart talk,he agreed on what I propose.On 2nd January I was officially appointed as the Operation Manager.I have to go through a 3 month probation period,yet only after my first month I've been promoted!That is why I'm saying,if you can think of something,and try to achieve it,you can actually do it.

As human,we seldom fault our self if something goes bad,but we always want to be credited if something good happen.Try to change,sometimes it is good to reflect and learn from the mistake we make.If we can't even admit to our mistake,how are we going to learn from it?

This my 2nd week in my 2nd month working in a new place,but there is so many thing that I have learn,and so many things that I want to do.I pray that I will be given the strength to fulfil all the task and responsibility given to me and at the same time manage to give something extra when and where necessary.

I used to read a lot about Internet Marketing and I still do,in IM,you will always hear the terms,You have to give first before you can ever get anything,and believe me,it is true.So try to give,rather than wait for someone to give you something.

Always believe,always try..never give up.I really thank Allah for what I have now.Other people went into 2009 with uncertainty,some lost their jobs,some lost their businesses,but I got a job,a good job with a good pay after going through a lot of hardship.Life is like a wheel,sometimes you are at the top,sometimes,out of the blue,you come tumbling down.Like what Forrest Gump said..Life is like a box of chocolate,you'll never know what you're goin' to get inside..

Happy New Year..may 2009 ends up brighter than what most people predict..it is just prediction,no one can really tell except ALLAH.

Why Men Are Never Depressed.

Men Are Just Happier People :-

Your last name stays put.

The garage is all yours.

Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack.

You can never be pregnant.

Car mechanics tell you the truth.

The world is your urinal.

You never have to drive to another petrol station restroom because this one is just too icky..

You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.

Same work, more pay.

Wrinkles add character.

People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.

New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.

One mood all the time.

Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat..

You know stuff about tanks and engines. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.

You can open all your own jars.

You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.

Your underwear is £4.95 for a three-pack.

Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You never have strap problems in public.

You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.

Everything on your face stays its original colour.

The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.

You only have to shave your face and neck.

You can play with toys all your life.

One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one colour for all seasons.

You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look.

You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife.

You have freedom of choice concerning growing a moustache.

You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.

No wonder men are happier.

Send this to the women who can handle it and to the men who will enjoy reading it

Just Something To Share..

Just something I want to share to put a smile on my readers face just like it did when I open my email.

Have a good weekend.

A Time To Reflect.

It has been a week since my last post.I've been busy with some personal things and reflecting on life,on what I have achieve with this blog,what people say about it,about my other blogs.

To all those out there who thinks my English is bad,well,I'm so sorry.This is the best that I can do and I'm trying each time to improve it.I'm from Malaysia,a country in South East Asia where English is taught as a second language.I speak in Malay since I start to talk,because that is my native language.But I start to learn English when I was about 5 or 6,I keep on asking my dad about this and that,until he decided for me to learn it myself.He gave me an English newspaper and bought me a dictionary,and he teach me how to use it.That is how I learn English.By the time I started school,when I was 7,I can read and spell in English.I live in the rural area,in a Palm Oil Plantation,the nearest town is about 18 miles from our house.I didn't go to kindergarten,but I still do well in school,especially English.

We move to another Palm Oil Plantation in another state when I'm in standard 4(10 years old),and we live there until I'm 20.During my secondary school years,I improve my English by speaking to tourist who came to my place,because the town I live in is the last town before they all went to the famous Taman Negara(National Park).The either came by bus or train,and then continue the journey by bus to the place where they will get on a boat ride up the river to the National Park.I normally hang-out at the bus stand and will ask them where they came from,will they be staying over night before continuing their journey.This really help a lot,with my English,and my confidence.It is never easy to start a conversation with strangers,especially people from foreign countries.

I know my grammar is not very good,but I remember what Seth Godin said,you are not writing to get an A in an exam,nor you are writing about English Literature..you are writing about things that you like,that you want to share with others..Just write it the way you can as long people can understand it!If you don't know who Seth Godin is,he is the bald guy who wrote a few well known books,especially about Internet Marketing and he is the one who created Squidoo.People refer him as the guru of all guru's.

I want to share my view,my thought,that's all..What is the point of writing a post almost like a journal,but people cannot relate to it,or only a few people can appreciate it.What about those who wrote using all those foul language,or writing with certain slang?

People do things in ways that they are comfortable with,not everyone will like it,but certain people do.If my blog is not to your liking,if you find it not up to the mark,not up to your expectation,then just leave and find something that you like.There a are a lot of different blogs out there,we cannot blame them if it is not to our liking,they didn't start a blog to please everybody,but they know some people will appreciate it.I've seen so many blogs that I don't like,but I never comment about it,I just leave it be,they have the right to be here,to create their blog,and they can do whatever they want with it.There are adult blogs,gay and lesbian blogs,Scientology blogs,atheist blogs,blogs that say bad things about Islam..I've seen it all,but never say anything because it is their right to do and write about it.

I'm sorry if my English is bad,but I've seen blogs from certain countries that are worse,but I never criticized and ridicule them,maybe they want to do it like all of us but they lack the knowledge,so why not give them a chance,give them a break.There are translation tools,but would it be the same?I've tried using it on some blogs that are written not in English,and find the article a bit odd.It has lost the originality.

The blogosphere is open for everyone,some will last long,some will just fade away.Just let them be.Who knows mine will be here longer than the one that have a perfect English but boring post.
