ONCE...2013 closure

I know we have 1 more day to go but I might not be able to update tomorrow.  Since I'm at it, might as well get it done with.

2013 has been a rough year for me.  It has been very challenging for both professional and personal.  I had few big losses and few failures respectively.  I learnt few things in my losses and I have to be more aggressive and focus in the coming 2014.  Need to unleashed the killer instinct in me and drive it accordingly.  On my failures, I guess it was not my time yet.  I am placing it all in getting the better me first in 2014.  And really leave it all to Him.  When the time comes, I'm sure He will make it smooth and easy for me.

For those that I have encountered in both my professional and personal...whom so happen to read this blog...I present my humble apologies for all the mistakes and ill-feelings that I've done...I expressed my gratitude for the friendship, realization and lesson learnt that you share (knowingly or unknowingly).  May Allah blessed you all in your everyday lives.

So, thank you 2013 for the good and bad as both contributes towards better me in 2014.  Insya-Allah.

Happy New Year

ONCE...COBRA first excursion

It has been almost a year since COBRA was formed.  We had an outing in Tiara Melaka Golf & Country Club from 27 - 28 Dec 2013.  The fight between Captain Barbossa and Capt Sparrow on two days of golf, one round of bountiful dinner and decent lunch before head home.  The match results in draw (heheh).

Day 1 Fri - before teeoff

Day 1 Fri - Barbossa Red vs Sparrow B&W

Day 1 Fri - in-action (so-called)

Nite 1 Fri - pretending to be cool while waiting for food

Day 2 Sat - Before teeoff

 It was such a great events...get to know each and everyone's behaviors, characters, preferences and fumes.  Comradeship at its best...good fighting spirits and lots of laughter.  Looking forward for the coming trip guys !!!

ONCE...11.12.13

Eleventh of December 2013...perhaps the last nice numbers for this century...in my life time especially.  There will be no 13th month in a year coming 2014.

This date also symbolize new beginning for a short ending.  Not sure how long it may last...how patience the parties involved...how much available...and how much more is bearable.  Towards the ending, I've decided to put a stop in this kind of venture.  Probably, I'm too old for this already...yet the request to pursue and hoping we succeed.  Frankly, I doubt it.

ONCE...discovering unknown territories

Last week I went to some place new...learning new cultures...new way of life...new cuisine.  It makes you appreciate living in this beautiful country.  Having said that, little that was missed about home as there are bountiful locals there.  To my surprise they even speak Malay and accept RM...thinking of picking up new language goes to the drain as mostly people speak English.

There are also other elements that I learnt...exposed...and taking time to understand.  My first reaction of course could not take it...but I ponder and told myself to be patience a bit. Think it true...try to understand...and if need be find ways to correct it or worst, adapt to it.

Hoping the trip gave a new perspective...refresh my minds...and now kicking for the year end closing...yeaaaahaaaa...!!!
