Got a new pair of socks.. say hurray for Orange! hehe~

Hmm… no quality post for a moment. Being extremely busy body for sometime.

When in goodbye mode someone might:

• Mind blurred the whole day
• Go to the malls
• Buy food stuff that never2 bought before alongside another stuff
• Pay for the stuff
• Buy an ice cream
• Ate the ice cream pretending it was yummy
• Ride home
• Stored the food into frozen container
• Realized that the extra ordinary bought stuff is left at the cashier counter
• Said “adeh…”
• Accidentally bring the other food to the bedroom and put it on table
• Realize about it
• Take out the stuff to the right place
• Come back to the bedroom
• Blog about it

I hate goodbye

Asadi..

I know I been wearing you since I’m freshman year.

I fascinated about you after saw my roommate wore you with style.

So I go bought you, blue in color that look so nice on me.

But..

Its five years already.

You should know that there is a limitation for slippers and shoes.

Your base is totally exhausted and it not bring good to me.

You made me slipped on stairs with style 3 times already.

One at UTM City Campus in front of ladies.

Second at my first rented house at Ampang.

Third at current rented house.

But not only that.

You made me almost slipped in malls and other places.

Now I said its enough already.

Its over between us..

Yes..

Over..

So long Asadi..

Hello Crocs. Nice to meet you

Hehe~

Got some time to hang out to new opened store, Carrefour at the neighborhood. Store which has become a political issue one time before. Nothing much, because its totally new Im not expecting too much. I’m just wondering is this a mall or warehouse since the interior design totally out of the league of a mall. We walked to see the price war since the other store Giant is just near. I think the unique thing they got is this:

Yes.. its orange

The Hype goes higher… energetic but tired..

Today when I woke up from sleep, I got my minds thinking about the improvements of me. While doing normal chores before I fully set up to the office, I said to myself that I need an improvements on two issue which is; numbers and family. These two problems of mine might cause a bigger problems for me if I’m not train myself from now.

Why numbers?… I am well known bad when it comes to number. I remember when I was school kid I can’t remember multiplication table. At that time I really worried if I become the chosen one to present multiple of. Even Siti Sifir singing can’t make me remember any of that haha. Also worried to hear that I need to be good in numbers to become a programmer but that’s what make me weird since I can do programming just fine even I got this problem. Thank god for this gifted mind, Alhamdulillah. But I’m not worrying about I can’t remember those thing because the calculator always become my friends for that matter. It just numbers also means date and this is the problem. I can’t remember too much about date. So silly to say that I might remember your birthday this year but I could forget about it for the next year. One of my friends once have disappointed with me because I didn’t wish her birthday even she had mentioned it couple days before. Not just for birthday, a date is also about important date. So that is why I always keep asking for confirmation when it was a date and numbers.

When it comes to family, I think I’m doing worse at this. I have my siblings, my cousins, and my relatives here. An ’s’ means that they were more than one but I did not have an ’s’ for the word visit. That was really bad for me. The way of one person’s treated his relatives inspires me. I got to have plan to visit them more and tighten our family bond. Yeah, I will make it. InsyAllah.

Then this evening when I finishing all the task and get ready to leave the office, I got a Skype wave from my former classmate. We chat a little and it end up with his excuse to leave because he going to have some sports as his evening activity. Something to contrast about the chat is that, he said I have been silent for a long time. That is… the third problem which it makes three now. One day friend of mine IM’ed me asking why she doesn’t have a friend. I replied “How about your classmate?” and then she said that she never in touch with them anymore. Then I gave her an advice;

“Human is like a mankind in The Sims. They got a social meter in their personality tab. If you spoke to your friends, meter increase and if you never spoke to your friend and didn’t make friends, the meter will down and it cause personality disorder. That’s reflect us in real world. So keep in touch with your friends, contact them just to say hello is acceptable.”

The thing is… I need to take that advice to myself now…

Improve… Improve… Improve… good luck!

till next time

Hmm… I guess nothing interesting with this post. It just knowledge sharing about what I know. For introduction I would like to recalled about our life’s cycle. Before this myself as a students really aware that the most challenging thing at that moment is struggling for homework. Well, as we passed study era of course we will face another challenging world; its about working, where most of your time used to work for the sake of living survival.

For me, working is almost same to what you have done in your school plus some other issue that I think most people have different thought about it. It’s about money management. The biggest problem of all. Reality is, most people love the raise, but a few of them knew about how to manage the cash they got. Some don’t even care about it end up they will trapped in debt if they use credit card.

Today I got a call from some company offered me some kind of card that promises to have a lot privilege. But I turned them down telling that I’m not interested for the time being. And this evening I met my friends and we talked about money management. Its good to hear that she has her own way of saving the money. We share some idea where mostly I gave her my advice according they way I do.

As new in working world, I cannot say that I’m perfect financially. There is lot more to learn and Alhamdulillah, I think I’m on right track. What I did is, I prepared a text or note which is for my reference monthly. So I will knew where the money should go and allocation for each category. So lets take a look at my note:

ptptn    $$$
parents    $$$
prepaid    $$
housing    $$$
saving    $$$
asb    $$$
th    $$$
———–
$$$ <- total expenses
netpay    $$$$
———–
$$$$ <- expenses – netpay
monthly    $$$ <- spending for foods ^^
———–
backup    $$$ <- your backup ‘fulus’

hehe… firstly of course I need to replace the real value with dollar sign. Its my secret . First I listed down all the monthly expenses. I believe this is common expenses for those who like me, people who just start working. PTPTN is must have debt for fresh graduate. We have to admit it. So allocate some for it. Not really much on this, since you need to focus more on saving. For saving I managed to have 3 separated savings. Saving is a must, I followed a recommendation that you must take 10% from your net pay as your saving. ASB and TH is optional but very-very highly recommended. I said, a must since its your permanent saving. When its called ‘permanent’, so make sure you understand what it is all about; you can put your money, but please don’t (ever) take it out. There is a time for us to use this savings later so keep saving monthly.

After you list down all the expenses, minus your netpay and you will have some amount left. This amount will be your money to survive for current month. In my way, this money will be divide into two: my spending for foods and another saving called backup saving. Wait.. another saving? that’s my friends question. I said to her; “I think we should not put all our money into one saving because it will end up we will use the money back”. So this is the reason another saving budget where you can use it for anything going on current month. For me the value for this kind of budget surpassed the permanent saving. Its on you to educate yourself how to save on this budget. For me, I’ll make sure backup saving has a balance so it will increase another month after new backup budget credited. I think when it were like this, the focus of money will be on backup not your another saving. You will not even think about to use your permanent saving at all.

But I believe people have their way of how to manage their own money. Like I said, its about sharing. Hope it helps

Today before leaving us, my boss shook everyone’s hand and say Happy Birthday. That really make me weird since my birthday is well far away from the date. He then said that’s for the birth of new year and it makes our age increase by one plus in what situation you were in, your age is the age you are in that year no matter what month you will celebrate it.

So I am unofficially 24 on this new year. Just wait for June to make it official. Seriously I don’t know whats really happened to me last year. All I can say is that 2009 is the year where I put myself on life survival. Its been more than one year since I came to this city.

I still remember on 15 December 2008, its the first day for me to enter working life starting as practical students. Start from there I try to learn about life, work, and survival just to make sure that I’m ready for real life. Alhamdulillah.. I think I made it. Journey of life continues on 2009 where I try to meet people for public relations and socialize in healthy way. The year changed me in the way of thinking and made the decision. Even some people said I’m so matured on that and have a mind that beyond my age. One of my friends told me that his 23 years old brother still rely on his father in everything even seeking for job!

On the month of my birthday, I move forward one step ahead in real world as being accepted for Web Developer position in one small company which is my current workplace now on. Being a full time worker is next biggest path in everyone’s life. I have face almost all problem that workers had. Being scolded, working 24 hours straight, meetings to name a few. But that is the way it teach someone about life.

Now 2010 starts and I can say myself getting busy more and more. I have a few responsible that need me doing some magic in using my own skill. I just hope everything will go smooth. 2010 also a year that I’m targeting to learn a lot about business since owned a business and help people who in need was my dream for a long time. May my wish will become true someday, InsyAllah.

Last word, Happy New Year everyone.
