YEY !!! I've graduated as a trainer for PPSMI program. Initially, it's for my personal agenda to participate to this program. But after listening to the nature of the program, it's really close to my heart..NATION BUILDING!
We were asked to introduce ourselves on by one (yesterday) and then mention the reason why we're here. So, nation building is one (and also mentioned about my ambition to be the 10th in 20 yrs), another one is to improve myself on public speaking esp to adult listeners. The Master Trainer, Pn Haliza is such a great motivator and speaker.
We also need to present a module and her comment to me was "..there's no energy..can't feel your enthusiasm..". It got to do with facial expression, voice tone and volume. I went back to office after that (around 9pm)..had some discussion with LC & BDM. Only at around 11 pm, I started practising. I record my delivery on the notebook. Then, I listened to it..."gosh..so booorriiiiiinng!!!" Straight away, I know I doesn't work...I need to work on it further. So went on practising till 2.30 am.
This morning, I was lucky as I'm in Liza's group. And we can choose any topic that we like and book our seat for presentation. VIP from TSI & MOE will be there to evaluate. While I was trying to pick my topic, then I heard..."lastly..Norhaizam. Why are you last ?!" errr...dunno Liza :D
Then, I planned on how to deliver my topic. And when the time come...I did well ! Just the finger-pointing need to be eliminated. To cut it short...I was informed that I've been certified. About 75% marks. Then, certificate presentation ceremony..and we all went back. It has made me a better person in delivering messages, presentation and public speaking. The next 2 months, I need to perform better than today.

ONCE...balik lambat
This conversation occurred on Monday (26 April) around 6-8 pm in Shah Alam (sorry, can't translate it or it'll loose it's essence:
'ny : Ummi, abi mana mi?
ummi : abi tak balik lagi...
'ny : abi go mana mi ?
ummi : abi go opis la...
'ny : abi ni ! asyik balik lambat saje !
siti yah : haa...nanti abi balik..habaq kat abi lagu tu !
I laughed when my wife told me. My daughter noticed and can complaint already that I always went back late. Mostly, she's asleep already...and if she awake in the morning when we send her to babysitter's house, she's lucky to see me! Can I change this ? They missed me!
There's one day, I reached home at 5:30 am. It was around 8 or 9 am, semi-concious I heard my daughter saying, "emmuaks..! sayang abi sebab abi balik..'ny rindu abi..."..as she hugged and kissed me while I'm lying on the bed. I remember my wife laughed her heart out hearing that..(and some nice morning lecture for me after that laa) hehehhee...
errr... if I went back early and they see me everyday..they won't be saying sweet stuffs like that isn't it ?

ONCE...confirm miscarriaged :(
Saturday, 14:12, my wife bleeded and had much pain. And as she tried to change the pad, an object dropped in the toilet bowl. As motherly she is, she picked it up, washed it a wrapped it for me to bury it later. Went to Klinik Umra.
I arrived at 15:30, waiting for doctor to do the D&C. I went back to make my prayer, then came back at 16:30. Luckily there's two bed and the other was empty..so I slept there (tired !). Doctor came at about 1800 and half-hour later, done. My wife were drugged and still unconcious. "Wait another 1-2 hours, then can go back", doctor said. So, I waited till 19:30. Went back, then came again with my daughter at 20:30. It only cost us RM 645.
It's sad that our child couldn't make it. We believed there's blessing in disguise. We thank God that the mother is safe.

ONCE...TeAM's 9MP Dialogue
There was a big turnout at the event last night. Achieve the target of 150 pax..full house really. So now have better understanding on the allocation, focus and direction with regards to MOSTI's plan or mandate for 9MP. The various agencies and its roles, and of course MDEC and MBC (Malaysia Biotechnology Corporation) was the main focus as we want to understand what is it for ICT and Biotec.
We were fortunate because we got a chance to watch the trailer and behind-the-scene of Saladin. It's an animated TV series (10-12 series) that'll be on-air soon in our TV. Really good quality man!!! And all done by our MALAYSIAN !!!
It's no secret that some Malaysians did a job for those big animation companies. But, they're just part of Spiderman or Shrek or Star Wars. So MDEC took the lead, get all the relevant industry players and come up with Saladin. If you've watched Shrek, Nemo, Ice Age and LOTR, I'm telling you...your eyes will be gleefully enlarged, touched and proud, that we do and able to make such GOOD animation movies. Dunno about Cicakman though but knowing KRU, bet they'll make a good one.
So, watch out for those two CGI-based movies MADE in MALAYSIA by MALAYSIAN for the WORLD !!!

ONCE...another resignation
Two weeks ago she said whe might resign to follow her future husband (after marriage) to Sarawak. There's job waiting there. But, after giving some advice and time to think, she came back with "I've decided to stay." And today, came and put the letter on my table. "Why?"..as always, my standard question. "Not in Sarawak or Sabah. But, here in Peninsular." I asked her to submit to LC as I told earlier.
No wonder, the past few days I was really angry with the way things goes. What being said was not the same as what being on her mind or rather her heart as I guess she barely use her head (hahahaha...). What pissed me off today is not that she wanna resign. It'd a relief to me and after that incident, I want her to go. But, really, the fact is after her decision that day, my plan executed on her being the only PM. Then, lot of things are pending, not properly managed thus causing lots of trouble to programmers and all because, she's resigning. And only today (or perhaps yesterday) that she made the decision. "Been doing lots of thinking.." was one of the answer when I asked why. So, while the "thinking"...things doesn't move....sadly though.
On my way to the office, I was thinking that I would need to really micro manage and monitor all the project movements. Turn out, it'll be lot simpler. Don't have to think about what she felt and later how to manage that, but really manage my team!

ONCE...babysitting again
My wife had to come to her office last Saturday, so we postponed our "outing" to PA. So, am "babysitting" again. Why the quote ? Mostly, mama, ateh & acik took care of them. Mama fed them lunch, ateh get my son to sleep, then they all took my daughter together for shopping. Left me, my son, angah & baba. And later, when they came back, mama get my daughter to sleep around 5 or 6 plus. Me & son played in the room (or really..watch him played).
Well, frankly..not much that I did. There are times that they're all down there, playing with my kids, then I went up for prayer. But then, to go down, they would need to cover themselves..so I'm letting them to have freedom. That's why I stayed and watched TV instead :D
Anyway, thank you mama, ateh and acik !

ONCE...soooo sleepy
*huarghhhh*...I'm sooo sleepy now. Why aah ? Is it because I slept at 2 am this morning ? But that's my routine. Yet, there are times where I'm energetic and my adrenalin was pumping. Monday blues maybe..?! Heck no !!! It's Wednesday...so, shall we blame the holiday yesterday..hahaha !
The papers that I suppose to do, has been successfully postponed or put down. There's few more, but with this condition...I may fall asleep as I composing the words. It happen to me as I read one of the TeAM Council member's profile, that made me saying "...I need something to get my brain working..let's blog this!". And it also telling me that I need to update my profile for TeAM council's website.
Usually, Orkfia would help a bit, but now waiting for new age..starting tomorrow. And to make it worst, the frequent Orkfian onliner were offline !! Chatted with my wife, tried to use her webcam from her new notebook..but I guess for MSN to work, both need to have the webcam.
Perhaps, I need to go and disturb people...need to walk a bit and talk a bit...need to kick my adrenalin pump faster !!!

ONCE...how's business ?
Met Zul yesterday..one of the favourite questions was "how's business.?". My reply normally to that question was, "bit slow...*sigh*..difficult aa..". "Why aah ? Everybody that I asked, they're all replied the same thing.", Zul said. "Why can't they said..got a little, Alhamdulillah (thank God)..?".
Indirectly telling me that also! Thanks Bro, forgotten how forgetful I am. Even slow, it actually getting better on my side. And as our words is also our prayers, should say lots of nice and positive words..thus nice and positive prayers as well.

ONCE...LCCT
Coming back from Jakarta, AK 957 has lots of some folks. Dunno whether it's their first time flying or what but...they tend to behave like kids. As the gate opens, they race between themselves to get the best seat. I went in last. There's empty spaces that they put their stuffs..and start looking out of the window like nothing happen. Like they own those 3 seats. *sigh* If they're not about the same age as my grandma, I'd have give them the "WTF are u thinking u're doing?!!!" stare..hehehe.
Anyway, as the plane landed, it's about 300-500 metres walk to the Arrival gate. There's pedestrian lane but these old folks (maybe tired) couldn't care less. They just walk on the road like nobody's business and warned the AA's staff that asked them to follow the lane. Heard they complaining "..menyiksa org..jalan jauh2..." Oh well...that's Low Cost for you grandpa !
And of course, 3/4 of the flight are packed with Indonesians ! Bunch of college kids that giving high-5 for no reasons. Errr...am I too old to understand those behaviour already..?! Naahh...not old...just MATURED ! :D

ONCE...jakarta
Went to Jakarta on Monday afternoon. Just 2 days, on social visit ticket..but actually for meeting. First one for my renewed passport! And first time using the LCCT!
It's almost a year since my last visit to Jakarta. Pretty much the same. Just that this time when the taxi goes up to one of the flyover (the tallest..got three layers of FO), I'm "gayat" (Acrophobia-fear of height). Funny though..as I used to do repelling from 8th floor from UiTM Menara, but yet..*sigh*. Later I concluded that perhaps repelling, it's me whose in-control. But this one, the taxi driver. Same goes when Fuad drove me at Puncak Jalil!
Unlike Malaysia, lots of unusual view in Jakarta. The poverty level, people that do odd jobs to make a living, be it good or bad jobs, safe or risky, you name it. Got a chance to see life-demo as well (for the newly revised labor law)..but that delayed my meeting for 1/2 hour.
I tend to love going to Jakarta, but I love my family and Malaysia better. There's no place like Malaysia man !!! Going for days trip for working (mostly..haven't got a chance for pleasure yet) is fine..hopefully won't happen that need to be there for weeks or months. But then, who knows. The discussion has spilt over from IGM to other potential business with my co. Who knows, rezeki there :D !
