2 0 0 7

Gosh, I can't believe it is year 2007 already. I think the most spoken phrase these few days is "Time passes so fast", and following by "What have I achieved last year?". I guess most of the people will have the same thought at the end of the year , and so do I..

So, what have I achieved in year 2006? Hmmm.. I think the most significant achievement is I changed my job to be a Database Administrator, and I get my Oracle Certified Associate at October. But too bad I failed to achieve my target to be Oracle Certified Professional last year, there are always an excuse for a procrastinator like me... Well, I must get this done by June 2007!!! First to be listed down in my new year resolution.

Next, I have been going gym at least 3 times per week since June 2006, hehe, I am quite proud of my self-discipline, applause for myself, keke. And I want to keep this up for the coming year.

Another significant changes is I get a new car. The commitment to pay for the installment payment has made myself being more cautious in my financial and hopefully I can learn to spend more wisely in this year thus build myself a stronger financial foundation.

There are some action item that I was unable to achieve last year, such as getting myself a saxophone, be Oracle Certified Professional, go backpacking with Allan, and etc... All these will be carried forward to my year 2007 resolution. On top of that, I want to read more books, master yoga skill, focus in my career... Let see am I able to achieve in this year.. Ganbate Kudasai..

Impressive

This morning, I received this parcel that sent to my house ->



I was wondering what is it.. Then I open the parcel and found a greeting card and a decent notebook with Tiger Woods' portrait on the cover.



I can recognize the logo on the notebook, it is the company that I went for interview last week. In fact, the HR representative from the company have contacted me few days ago regarding the offer, and they did mention they will post me "something". I expect it is an offer letter, but now it doesn't seems like a document.



Then I open the greeting card, it surprise me that they send me this card to welcome me to join their company, and it is in handwriting.. Wow, it is really impressive..



Then look at the notebook they give me...



I love it so much. It isn't like any other ah pek organizer with black PVC as cover and wording in gold. There are lots of Tiger Woods' portrait inside the notebook as well.



Actually I feel touching by this... It is so great to feel that you are being appreciated by the company and they really sincere in hiring you as a assets to the company...or maybe I'm just being naive to be fooled by their HR strategy. Anyway, I am quite impressed by them... Too bad this is not a good timing for me to leave my current company, sorry la..

The Zahir

Finally I have finished reading the book The Zahir which wrote by Paulo Coelho. It is a great and influential book that can leave reader a thought provoking. The main theme of the book is Love, but indeed, the message in the book is co-relate to our life.

The story starts from the disappearance of the narrator's wife, who wanna escapes from a marriage that left her unfulfilled. While the narrator trying to reunite with his wife, he recall all the memories between him and his wife, which left him a lot of question and he realize that he has made a lot of common mistake just as any other couple.

Paulo Coelho uses a very beautiful paragraphs to tell the story of how the narrator search for his wife to the Kazakhstan, how he manifest the understanding of love, the power of destiny and a lot more of spirituality.

If you like Coelho's Alchemist, then you will like this book as well. The story line is interesting, the language is beautiful, the theme is inspiring.. and the most important thing is, the book holds so much meaning of love and you will realize what is essential in life and how can we treasure it.


‘Suffering occurs when we want other people to love us in the way we imagine we want to be loved, and not in the way that love should manifest itself - free and untrammelled, guiding us with its force and driving us on.'

Aiks, I think my car have the same nostalgia feeling as me to say good bye to me. It was just about few days to go to get my new car, but it broke down again last night while I'm on my way back from office. Gosh... another break-down during rush hour in Tropicana. Luckily I left office quite early yesterday and my colleague haven't gone back home yet. I quickly called one of my collleague to rescue me. Sigh~~~ maybe my car is toooo sad to leave me as well... I can't blame you, my fault not to take care you well enough and abandone you, please forgive me..

So long NAR 507

I was quite moody lately. I guess it was due to the times to say good bye to my car is just around the corner. This might be the last week for me to drive my NAR 507. I never expect it will be such a hard time to say good bye to her.

She is very meaningful to me, because it was given by my father to me. I remember the first day my brother drove the car back, we are so excited. This is the first brand new car we bought in the family. Then my brother sold it to my father and finally it pass on to me after my dad passed away.

I have been driving it since Uni time. I car pool with my friends on her during my Industrial Training. My friends alwasy laughed at me when I am unable to turn some tight corner with my non-power steerling. Due to my bad sense of direction, I alwasy lost with her and she never disappoint me. I drove her once to Johor during chinese new year to visit my friend's place...it was a great time with her. I also remember I drove her to visit my dad who was laid in Hospital during his treatment. And I drove her back to KL after my mum funeral. And I remember the night I broke up with my ex-bf, I drove this car to my best friend's place....She has been with me for ups and downs.

It has been a tough decision to made. Maybe I am being too sentimental, I feel sad to say good bye to her. It alwasy remind me of my father when I am driving it. Hopefully the next owner would take care of you well.
