the upgrading exam that i attended recently was really a "i'm not satisfied" kind of situation. honestly speaking, my full preparation was just a day before the exam owing to hectic schedules and unavoided responsibilities. i know i could do better and how i wish i could turn back time. anyhow....it's my fault for not having a complete preparation. next year, come rain or shine, i would definitely "cuti" for a few days in order to have an intensive preparation with Cikgu Halimatul (u know who you are).
*upgrading exercise is an exercise for AEON people to upgrade their current grade to one grade higher provided they pass the exam which is conducted every year. to Cikgu Halimatul, thanks for teaching me Jusco Figure. i sincerely appreciate your help and kind assistance. flame on!
a good colleague of mine, Irwan bought a new Sony Ericsson handphone and wanted to try out the quality of the camera. and it turned out to be as cool as ever! above are the photos taken by him 2 weeks ago. interestingly, those photos include one of my office mates, Harfiza who works in the same department with Irwan. the funny part is, i've known Harfiza since last year but i knew her name just recently. to Fiza....thanks for the unofficial grooming advices and it's a privilege to know someone like you.
Remember my old post about someone named Deena who asked me a few questions about myself? Here are some of the answers that i've given to her. Read on....
Q1) Kamal, are you really a Director of a company? I'm confused. Aren't you working with AEON? A1) Yes Deena, i'm working with AEON Jusco as Shop Operations Manager. My father has re-appointed me as one of the Directors in his company after i have decided to quit in December 2005 due to bad car accident. Anyhow, the name of the company will remain as a secret.
Q1) You are totally a music freak. Any good reason for that? A1) Deena, is that a compliment or what? Hehehe...yup! I'm a music freak. In fact, when i was in Form 5, i managed to name 2500 rock n roll bands around the world within an hour in one competition somewhere in 1991. I won the competition and received 30 free cassettes (it was in 1991 remember?) Well...it's just an underground competition actually. Every month i will buy at least a cd because my current job needs me to travel from one Jusco store to another. a fresh cd will definitely drive me on.
Q1) What is the latest cd that you have in your car? A1) I bought Dewa 19's cd last month. last week i bought Maroon 5 new album and i think it's damn hot! but to tell you the truth, the latest cd that i bought was 3 days ago. it's actually a cd with few Holy Quran verses in it such as Surah Yasin, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Baqarah and more....i bought this cd at one of the shops in Nilai.
Q1) How do you describe yourself, Kamal? A1) Well...i can safely say that when it comes to a serious relationship, i am a very loyal person. my past experience has taught me to be extremely careful in choosing someone to become a love of my life. i am not a perfect person in many ways but my imperfection has motivated me to become a good lover. we don't need a Phd to teach us on how to become a good valentine, do we?. at times, i can be a very sensitive person. i dislike people who are bad tempered, insensitive, backstabber, liar and dishonest. anyway Deena, you can also call me a soccer freak, because i'm Manchester United diehard fan and i think David Beckham is the best crosser/midfielder on planet earth.
Q1) Who are your favorite actors/actresses? A1) I like Johnny Depp very much. He's amazing! I think i should also add Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Will Smith and Tom Hanks in my list. As for actresses, i think Julia Roberts, Kate Winslet and Dian Paramitha Sastrowardoyo are outstanding! But Deena, do you know who is the best actor ever existed on earth? He's none other than Allahyarham Tan Sri P.Ramlee.
There are more questions from Deena that i will unveil in my next post. Check it out guys! Till then...
last Saturday was the last day for my sweet little sister, Madihah Faizi with AEON and she would be starting a new career at a new place soon. well....no wonder i felt a bit weird yesterday because usually i would receive an early email from her almost every morning. eventhough she's not my biological sister, to me, i have sincerely considered her as one of my siblings.
let me elaborate more about our unique friendship. honestly speaking, we rarely talk to each other in the office. we prefer to communicate via sms or email because both of us are too busy to have a long conversation. we've shared many cool stories, opinions and issues together and i proudly think that she's one of the best persons i ever met so far. Madihah is a humble, cute, soft spoken, extremely polite, cool and quite religious kind of person. she's already engaged to a handsome, kind-hearted guy and they will get married middle of next month. God bless them both.
the funny part is, she always calls me Abang Besar (Big Brother) and i also call her Adik Kecil. cute kan? so to Adik Kecil, Abang Besar wishes you joy and happiness. thanks for supporting me through good and bad times and trust me, without you around in the office, things will never be the same again. thanks for being there when i need your moral support the most and i really appreciate all cool advices that you have given to me every now and then. in conjunction with your wedding ceremony next month, i would like to wish u "selamat pengantin baru dan semoga berbahagia ke akhir hayat". attached herewith is the photo of her with her ex-colleague, Mee Kuan.
last but not least, Adik Kecil - knowing you is the best thing ever happened to me. and for that, here is my favorite word to you...TILL THEN! hehehe....
my close friends keep asking me about the latest 10 songs that i've been listening to lately. it reminds me of my own personal chart that i've made in my old post somewhere last year. so here are the 10 songs that i've listened more than 50 times a day (for the month of April - June 2007).
1) let's dance together - by the one and only Melly Goeslaw
2) gantung - again, by the one and only Melly Goeslaw
3) girlfriend - by none other than Avril Lavigne. every morning, while heating up the engine of my car for 5 minutes, i will play this song out loud just to erase any unwanted feelings and also to drive my spirit on.
4) all the small things - by, who else? Blink 182
5) ada cinta - by Irwansyah and Acha Septriasa from the movie "Love Is Cinta"
6) what i've done - by Linkin' Park
7) makes me wonder - by Maroon 5
8) keep your hands off my girl - by Good Charlotte
9) 99 problems - by Jay Z
10) dewi - by Indonesian hottest rock group, Dewa 19
i used to admire this pretty girl when i was in Form 6. but unfortunately(??), her boyfriend was my good mate and the problem began when i started to know that her boyfriend was having an affair with one of my form 5 juniors. i felt like telling her the real situation but i didn't have the guts to step forward. this girl was so loyal to her boyfriend and i could see that she'd been treating him very well. the lyrics of this song, Girlfriend ( i have purposely changed the title of the song to "Boyfriend" to be fitted into my true experience) by Avril Lavigne really tells the whole situation that i faced at that time. i would like to dedicate this song to that pretty girl, Hanim and wherever you are right now, i wish you all the best!
Girlfriend - Avril Lavigne (as i said before, i've purposely changed the word "girlfriend" to "boyfriend". haha...don't get mad, but get even guys!)
