"Berkerjalah seolah kamu akan hidup selamanya, beramallah seolah kamu akan mati esok hari"

Kebanyakan dari kita menafsir ayat di atas seperti ini:

Kumpullah harta sebyk2nya sementara masih hidup..
beramallah macam esok dah nak mati..

aku pun mula2 tafsir mcm tu jgk..tapi lepas aku join satu ceramah
ni, baru la aku nampak yg ada maksud tersirat di sebalik ayat tu..

Tafsiran tersirat:

Hal dunia ni takpe nak tangguh2...
tapi hal akhirat, jgn la bertangguh...

tu la yg dimaksudkan dgn kerja seolah hidup selamanya. Dah nama pun hidup selamanya, relax2 la hal dunia..dunia je pun.
Beramallah seolah esoknya kita mati. Ayat ni sebenarnya suruh kita jgn bertangguh hal2 yg diwajibkan syariat Islam ke atas kita.

Fikir2 balik, betul jugak kan?

Wallahu a'lam.

after a week of being jobless

seriously relieved at the beginning but seriously bored right now. LOL.
My daily activity most of the time is laying on my bed and sometimes on my computer chair for a while to select the next movie or tv series I wanted to watch or checking my downloads. believe it or not, in just a week, I've downloaded a whopping total of 95GBs of movies and tv series.

Now my body clock's gone haywire due to my movie and tv series marathon sessions. But tomorrow's gonna change. I'm going to hunt for my Raya clothes and check Midvalley's MPH or KLCC's Kinokuniya for a book that I've been hunting for so long. And maybe after that I'll take a tour back to MMU to meet Mat Jep as he told me that he have a freelance job and he want me in. At last! a freelance job after several months of zero challenge. Hopefully this will get me back in the freelance business.

Hmm. I wonder what color should I get for my Baju Melayu. Perhaps, gray like my new car?ah..forgot to mention I got my car last Saturday. My sales agent called me at 930am and I only had like 2 hours of sleep. Meon was at my house that night and we were playing DOOM 3 just to stay awake for the sahur with Salleh,FAB,Nisya and Dibot at Old Town White Coffee in Cheras. Spent the whole morning to afternoon at the tint shop to get my car tinted with security tints and to make things worse, I planned to go Iftar with my schoolmates later that eve. It was fun but I already felt like a zombie that time. LOL. After the Iftar my plan was to go back home and sleep while Hilmy, Apez and Meon rejoin the guys back at Ampang Park for the karaoke session but suddenly the three had a change of mind an instead I was obliged to follow them for a drink at Uptown Damansara. I slept until the afternoon next day (of course have to wake up for Subuh prayers and the sahur with my parents).

I need some sleep. My conciousness fading. so I'm signing off.

a peek into my personality.

I've been doing some personality test available on the net lately. Took a lot of test on this and that but the ones that really fits me are the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Carl Gustav's Jung tests.

all the tests results in me being an INTP.INTP stands for:

Introverted
iNtuitive
Thinking
Perceiving

According to Carl Gustav Jung, my personality can be classified as:

Dominant : introverted thinking
Auxiliary : extroverted intuition
Tertiary : introverted sensing
Inferior : extroverted feeling

based on the result description of my profile, no wonder I am the best person to do technical and R&D stuffs for my career. It suits me very well and i do very well in it.

I do recall some people told me that I am miserable. I LOLed hard on that. What's wrong with preferring to be alone and close only with people that I choose to be close to? I am much more happy that way and to me, you are the one who is miserable for not being able to get my attention. I don't need to get the whole world if I can get satisfaction just from tiny fraction of it and to me, that is what I call being independent and free. You guys are just too stupid and ignorant to realize how precious that is to me. That is the ultimate answer why I don't really need people like you and to me, you people are the ones who are miserable and pathetic anal-retentive attention whores.

So read up before calling miserable on someone you don't really know.

Farewell

Today's my last day in Patimas. Spent the whole morning in the PSG meeting room conducting my very last training session for my colleagues. Don't really know if they really understand all of it but I've given my very best for them to make them understand because they're the people that will continue where I left off.

A sudden sentimental feeling overwhelmed me in the late evening. Haha. Spent my last few hours with my close colleagues chit chatting about random things and doing lame jokes with each other.
The photo session made the goodbye part a bit hard but what what's done is done.

And so, ladies and gentlemen..

Soleh has left the building..



My close colleagues



with Susan and Li Yen




with BJ and Chai Chin




The R&D team : me and Anselm



with Woon Fei and Chen Hao



Me and Chen Hao



me and Yih Ching



me and the strange lady Clarice..LOL



my ID card..will miss you very much..haha

Career advancement

It's been a year working at Patimas. After a lot of thoughts and consideration, I've decided it is time to leave.

My colleagues asked me why. Well, there's a lot of reasons why. But my primary concern is not about the money.The pay is considered low if compared to what other people with my title but I guess it's quite okay for my lifestyle. The thing is, I don't really get what I wanted here. I seek experience and knowledge and Patimas did not really satisfy me. Yeah I know that I've been doing high tech stuffs and all but the thing is the knowledge I gained is just a small percentage of the effort I gave not to mention that most of the time I was clueless and lost and don't really have anyone to ask for opinion and ideas thanks to the staff shortage (cost cutting policies?).

My close colleagues, although they're friendly and fun, are not really initiated on improving themselves. They're actually quite good, but the thing is they lack the initiative on improving their knowledge and most of the time give reasons on this and that when asked to learn new stuffs. This is the thing that frustrates me the most. But still, they're good and friendly people.

All of these are stagnating me. I need a fresh environment where I can meet other tech enthusiasts and share knowledge on those cool bleeding edge stuffs. The only thing that really kept me going on is my own drive and the occasional motivational words from my boss. (sorry to disappoint you boss, but I really can't stand this anymore)

Thankfully, God lighted my way and I've already signed up with an IT company from Singapore and guess what? I was offered the position of Senior Technical Consultant. I guess my attempts to avoid self-obsolete really pays off. Talking about pay, The offer I got was quite luxurious too. Hopefully, the experience will be luxurious as the pay itself and the best thing is, the company's Director (she's the one who interviewed me) was so enthusiastic in taking me in that she offered me on the spot during the interview and the more surprising thing is that she did not even try to bargain with me about my expected salary.

Well, I have no more work pending for Patimas so I have all the time I need to study the latest software frameworks and technologies to get myself a firm ground on the things required for my new job. (Spring and Hibernate, how I long to get myself in a project based on these 2 technologies. and not to forget the fresh new framework Struts 2.0. Uber coolness!)

Oh I just can't wait for 3rd October.

=)

wisdom on words

Kita lahir dengan dua mata di depan wajah kita, kerana kita tidak boleh selalu melihat ke belakang. Tapi pandanglah semua itu ke depan, pandanglah masa depan kita.

Kita dilahirkan dengan 2 buah telinga di kanan dan di kiri, supaya kita dapat mendengarkan semuanya dari dua buah sisi. Untuk berupaya mengumpulkan pujian dan kritikan dan memilih mana yang benar dan mana yang salah.

Kita lahir dengan otak di dalam tengkorak kepala kita. Sehingga tidak peduli semiskin mana pun kita, kita tetap kaya. Kerana tidak akan ada seorang pun yang dapat mencuri otak kita, fikiran kita dan idea kita.Dan apa yang anda fikirkan dalam otak anda jauh lebih berharga daripada emas dan perhiasan.

Kita lahir dengan 2 mata dan 2 telinga, tapi kita hanya diberi 1 buah mulut. Kerana mulut adalah senjata yang sangat tajam, mulut bisa menyakiti, bisa membunuh, bisa menggoda, dan banyak hal lainnya yang tidak menyenangkan. Sehingga ingatlah bicara sesedikit mungkin tapi lihat dan dengarlah sebanyak-banyaknya.

Kita lahir hanya dengan 1 hati jauh di dalam diri kita. Mengingatkan kita pada penghargaan dan pemberian cinta diharapkan berasal dari hati kita yang paling dalam. Belajar untuk mencintai dan menikmati betapa kita dicintai tapi jangan pernah mengharapkan orang lain untuk mencintai kita seperti kita mencintai dia.

Berilah cinta tanpa meminta balasan dan kita akan menemui cinta yang jauh lebih indah.
