Final day...

2008-09-12T17:54:00.006+10:00

Currently at 6pm still in the office. Heavy heart (berat hati) to leave the office..already packing up. House inspection went well. Tonite, there will be farewell party for me at the social club house. Aiseh segan siut. Will catch up flight at 12.20pm at Mt Isa tomorrow.

* They call me tourist because I love floating around in Cloncurry with camera. Hehe

Well.. I am so glad to be dutied in Cloncurry. I will remember forever this precious first year as IT profession experience. After almost 14 months here with many challenges and problems I had encounter. I was tabah and sabar. Alhamdulillah. Thanks for all of you that always support and courage me.

So..dengan rasminya... I will end this blog.
Will see you in another chapter of my life..

Could not help my self laugh while we posed like statue waiting 10sec timer from camera feel like 10minutes, until Scott said, "10 second your ass!"..haha very nice of them...definitely will miss working with them. Nice bloke.

Tonite will do cleaning and packing..spot check tomoro. Will come to office halfday and say byebye to all officemates..

Dua hari..

2008-09-10T14:41:00.004+10:00

Two more days...makin tertekan..

Has been confirmed start in Gladstone on 29th Sept..which is 2 days before raya...sux..dah berangan² beraya kat Kelantan. Skali amekkk beraya aa ko seko² kat Gladstone. Can't negotiate to start later than that as the trainer will only be on that week to train me.
Need to take blue card test, medical cert, uniforms and induction in Brissy this Monday/Tuesday. Will ask them about the accommodation too.
Need to confirm with shipping company sending bidadari's mini and stuff to Brunei on Monday/Tuesday. Paperwork almost done. Hopefully takde problem nak amek from her sis and hantar mini to port.
Take tomorrow off for packing stuff, might send all the stuff straight to Gladsy instead of Brissy. Cleaning out the house.
Still think of going back holidays on 18th Sept to Kelantan/KL/Brunei and coming back Brissy on 23th Sept (5 days pon jadi la)..so need to choose ONLY one among those place. Mase singkat tak mungkin bley singgah semua tempat tu. Mmg hati nak visit Brunei. Bidadari plak tak nak kasik opinion. Orang nak beli ticket dah ni kang mahal plak. Merajuk lagi ler tu. Payah nak discuss di saat² last minute ni and with emotional.
Takutnyee nak start keje baru ni...takut not fit for the positions, yelaa position tinggi so more responsible and challenge. rase cam tak sedap hati jer...otak pon tgh bercelaru dgn mcm² mende. Absolutely not easy for me. Plus takde kate² semangat pon dari org tersayang.

Neway, played futsal for the last time in Cloncurry last nite. Kalah 10-7 this time against mining team yang sememangnya besor badak . But kids always had fun, but they sedeh after I said im leaving them. Siap merajuk tanak amek gambar same².

*My team... local Cloncurry kids.

Yang beso² tu team jahat...

Hmm...will see how it goes...tomorrow and other days...

R or U?

2008-09-09T13:18:00.009+10:00

R or U? adakah ini Rezeki atau Ujian pada bulan Ramadan?

Di saat² tiga hari nak cabot dari Cloncurry. Tibe² dapat panggilan dari CITEC petang smalam offered me the job. The job is better pay with 3 levels up from my current level, which in government job, 1 year each level. Meaning I've skip 3 level (or 3 years) within a year experience. Alhamdulillah and so happy of it. I did well I guess. Now I have moved 1 step ahead to my career plan as posted in my blog last time. If I go on with CITEC with another year or two, I will get Senior title and be the boss to mat saleh, yeeha!

CITEC:
Is a govenment agency who take cares of ICT not only Queensland State Govenment but the Australia Govenment(Federal Govt) too. It is a huuuuge company which absolutely will shine on my resume too. And plus, CITEC look after SAP as well. SAP ni! Maybe there's a chance to break into SAP. Who knows if ada rezeki, ye tak?

*New itee stuff for me with CITEC

Location:
So where they gonna send me? To Gladstone! Where are they? along the coast about 514km from Brisbane (8-9hrs drive). Surrounded by many islands along Great Barrier Reef!

*Whereis Gladstone?

*nice...

Tapi tu aaa nampak mmg best..tapi flight ticket blk Msia dah beli, baju raya dah antar tempah, plan 3M dah launched, waduh....tak tau aaa camne...they cant hold the offer too long. They have some projects that need to 'go-live' soon. Have to decide whether my stuff need to send to Brissy or Gladstone. Waduh...macam² laa pulak.

G and A? or M and A? or B and A? (*G = Gladstone, M = Msia, B = Brunei, A = Azman):
Tu laa dia bile byk sgt choices pening kapla. Sume nye ade cons & pro nye, cume I have to choose the best not only for me , but for my career and for my future with her too.. I am bad bad bad at making decision, last nite dah start solat istikharah. Harapan dlm bulan mulia ni dpt aa petunjuk dan semua decision mesti ada hikmahnya.

M vs G vs B:
Malaysia - Will dig until get into SAP. Can get experience and qualification. Money not really good with my 1 year experince. Hati = my hati maybe struggling with kehidupan KL, hati famili mungkin hepi hampir ngan anak. but will have to come to Oz updating PR every 3 months.

Brunei - Good resume with Accenture. But they not sure what position will fit with me. Money is so-so with tax-free. Hati = my hati yes hepi dengan ngan kekasih dan byk padang golf dan duit sara yg murah, hati famili absolutely will not hepi, hati kekasih sure hepi. Again..will have to come to Oz updating PR every 3 months.

Gladstone- Good resume too with CITEC. Chances to break into SAP. Good money. Hati = hepi cuz tepi pantai with new work environment and new challenging life, hati famili hepi/proud their son doing well, hati kekasih tak hepi akan berjauhan lagi. No need to update PR, and I think I am extremely lucky got a job without having PR. Seriously after seeing my mates yang dah/tunggu PR pon susah nak dpt keje. I am just consider lucky.

Hurmm I didnt meant to be tamak or greedy but what i need is the best decision. Question is how how how? Mmg susah nak satisfiedkan semua pihak dan kehendak hati, antara cinta dan career. Pastinya ada yang muram/murka dgn pilihan yang akan dibuat.
Mungkin ini adalah suatu Rezeki dan mungkin juga Ujian dariNya.

I am scared..

tick tock tick tock...3 days to go...

Sentimental Values..

2008-09-08T19:46:00.007+10:00

Esok..terakhir kan ku temuimu,
Teringat memori indah empat tahun kita bersama,
Beredah hujan diberlimpangan bersama di tepi jalan,
Lukaku dan juga lukamu,
Kaulah punca ku mencari rezeki siang dan malam.
Kini...kau akan dimiliki orang,
Terimaku dengan hati yang berat,
Jolie...ouh Jolie..selamat tinggal kuucapkan...

*lambang kemegahan. Jolie..2004-2008

Dah...abis chapter idup ngan Jolie...dah kene jual...takde aa mahal..tapi tak semahal sentimental value die...gagah megah sampai ke Cloncurry...sedeh..

2008-08-28T13:32:00.008+10:00

I am writing this blog while Scott (IT manager from Townville) and Pete scratching each other head on the next desk discussing their achievement plan. I am leaving soon so I dont bother to know, hehee. A very nice blokes they are, and Scott saw my games for sale and he bought couple of them. Neway, I did some surfing and look what I've found, Hummer for AUD40 grand with your own design! http://www.rhinobuggies.com.au they are base in Gold Coast!
They aren't 100% genuine Hummer as the chasis taken from Nissan Patrol and chuck in the Hummer body into it. Process are here and here. Brilliant!

Jom beli!:) Going back to Brissie for the weekends. Kalo kaki mengizinkan mungkin join Merdeka Cup futsal too..

Hav a nice nice nice weekend!

Ebay vs Creativity

2008-08-26T14:27:00.018+10:00

Heeeee...hari² update blog. Yela saat² tinggal dua minggu je lagi blog ni to 'Sayonara Cloncurry' asyik teringat nak balik je. Hurm..cam biasek saat saat keboringan di office, did surf ebay, nak beli ape yg patut utk blk msia ni, tak tau nak borong ape but I ended up spent 40bux on Psp 18000mAh external battery and 4gb psp memory stick. Takpe gaji masuk harini ;) .

Ebay:
Normal psp slim battery is 1200mAh will last about 5.5hrs, so 18000mAh external battery ni bley tahan 15 times more than 1200mAh which total up 82.5 hrs!!! Uiyooo puas hati so might be reasonable to get one. 4gb memory stick nowadays pon murah, so why not buy one too so that i can fit about 6-10 movies on them bley layan movies dlm on the plane back to Msia. Kalau layan movie kat laptop pon tak tentu battery bley sampai 4hrs. Hehe. So you with me now? Reasonable kan?kan?

*4gb MemoryStick & 18K mAh External Battery

Creativity:
Another gadget for psp I almost buy was psp stand which cost about 15-20bux on ebay. Why I need them is because I can sit and relax while watching the movies on the flight without cramping my hand by holding them.

*psp stand on ebay

Having a deep thought of buying them while staring at the slide paper calendar on my desk, suddenly my creativity pop up on my active brain. Jengjengjeng...how to make psp stand from slide paper calendar. Very light and flexible!

*paper slide calendar sumber ilham

Step 1:
Disassemble or togelkan the calendar into pieces. Dont be hesitated to chuck the useless calendar and the plastic holder into the bin, because what we need here are only the clips. Make sure do not ask for your boss permission , cause by doing it so probably you will get sack because of the bloody calendar. Pretty lame reason to get fired.

*bin off you go

Step 2:
As seen in the picture below, I managed to stick 2 dots of blue-tack or your officemate's used chewing gum too if you want to. Hehe. The purpose of blue-tack so that the psp will get steady in case of flight turbulence. Everyone panic but you still can enjoy your psp.

*clips and blue-tack as a base.

Final step:
Now nice and easy attach psp to the base. Taraaa!! Now you have your own zero cent psp stand and save up your penny on ebay. ;) ;) :) Enjoy!

*piece of art in the office.

*p/s: i'll miss ebay terribly once i'm back in Msia.

Another thought...Hmmm...

2008-08-25T15:14:00.005+10:00

Hmmm..im not really on form in office today. mood ingat nak balik raye je. Mlm² nak tido pon payah. Maklum laa excite gile ni nak raya 1 day kat Msia/kelantan since the last time in 2002. Somebody has bought me kain and sampin already. Light blue with dark lampin look ok kot for me. Thanks you indeed.

Already advertised my stuff yang nak jual on Mainroads staff website. Weekend was really really bored..do a bit packing and sleeping and eating and gaming. Pelik, last time i had 3 big boxes with me when first came to Cloncurry. But now 2 small boxes only. Hmm...neway less stuff is better.

Ouh I had phone interview with Accenture in Brunei on Saturday. It went really really well. Made me thinking why I need Australian PR if I can develop my career and having stay close with my family with a good salary in Brunei? I know IT in Brunei maybe not well develop but this is the chances for me to develop them. Brunei is high potential for IT too as they have big oil company and business there, eg: Shell, Exxon mobil. Kalau dapat develop kan SAP kat dierang ni mmg masyuk aar. Then, one of the question the panel asked me on the interview was 'Why dont u choose to work in KL?'. And I honestly said I'm scared to live there as KL is too huge and have lots of sky scraper building. The panel laughed at me...cet..betul per aku cakap. Ni plak response rakan emel pejabat aku kat melbourne, "Hahaha..mmg kelate sejati lah mu nih.. tak sangka ada org camni, ingatkan dlm drama2 melayu je ade.. haha.." hamekk...dapat sepam gelak lagi kat aku...cet..

*mailbox si polan, rakan emel di pejabat. Inilah keje kami bile bosan. Cun kan?Emel pon dah jadi cam chating.

Ok move on. Ni yang aku naik seram sket ni. Last 2 weeks I stuffed my knee when was playing futsal. Then I thought sikit je ni bley baik sehari dua. But it surprised me when I cant even jog/bend pon skarang ni! waduhh takkan kong gak kot. Baru je nak planing blk msia nak operate ankle. Now knee plak...so ade tiga mende nak kene operate: knee, ankle and eye lasik. Taktau aa camne nak convince kat mak aku. Last time die cancel last minute ankle operation dgn alasan "tak baik operate mende semula jadi kat badan kite"...????..cam x relevant je bunyinyer..bukannye plastic surgery nak jadi cam david beckham pon. Hmm will try again propose all those three operations nanti balik and see how she will response.

Meantime, ni haa kalo² sape nak beli sound aku:

4wd Trip

2008-08-19T16:56:00.023+10:00

Awesome, fantastic, unreal, beautiful, exceeded spectacular; cant stop saying those words for the whole 4wd trip. 8 cars with 20ppl of our groups went into the bush last Saturday. Mmg asyik geleng kepala dan terharu jeer dgn pemandangan indah, cantik dan anggun..mmg indescribable aar. Even camera pon takley challenge sbb mmg cantik gileer..bukan nak exaggerate tapi betul. We head south Cloncurry like 30km dirtroad until we stopby at the 100years old rail embankment place. Asal sejarahnye railway ni tak digunakan lagi since 1915, penah digunakan sebagai pengangkutan hasil galian. So we hang around, ade yang jumpa botol², besi² buruk yang hampir 100taun lamanya. Agak cool jugak la. Aku mmg malas nak amek mende² ni buat semak je. hehehe..

*Cun??

*kelibat YMCA

*me and Dale. & *Fountain Springs

Then we head out to ghost town call Ballara. Town ni kat atas bukit, so boleh nampak view bukit bukau yang caaaanttiikk gileeerrr...mmg tertelan air liur punye aa. Apparently, those bukit penah digunakan untuk penggambaran cerita "Crocodile Dungee" mengikut Gary Baker who are expert bab² travel in Cloncurry, and he is a professional photographer and own gallery. Lepas dah agak² bosan dan lapar, we traveled lagi about 40km to Fountain Springs. Yes, aiirrrrrr!!!air terjun tapi takde pon air yg terjun sbb bukan wet season. Seronok gile dpt jumpe air, dan air ni diantara dua bukit, tu laaa yg menambahkan kecunan alam tu. Geram seh tade camera yg canggih...chill gile lepak² makan sandwich tepi kolam tu.

*unique hanging rock & *indah view

*Pete's car & *menikmati pemandangan

*tunnel

*double&triple crossing rock

Sepanjang weekend mmg sejuuukk gile, matahari panas tapi angin mak ai sejuk...nasib baik la ade bawak jaket tebal, cam gaya nak pi main snow pon ade gak. Then head north to rail tunnel and had splendid view from the top of the mountain. Bekas tapak mining lagi. Mmg cuun...on the way there we came accross a few graves tepi² jalan. Saiko siot kalo sesat malam² tibe ade kubur bersepah. hehe..And also we stopby the spot where we can find unique rock that can only be found in here and africa. They called it double crossed rock and triple crossed rock. Susah gak nak carik yang perfect. Serta ade batu yang glittering bling bling sinar sinar cunnn...sempat gak aku tapau sepam dua untuk buah tangan.

*abandon grave under the rock

*ghost town

Perjalanan 4wd takde aa mencabar sgt cam dlm TV, tapi setiap spot mmg unique dan cantik superb. Ade gak jumpe red kangaroo, wallabies, unta, lembu, kuda dan tak lupe jugak kat rakan kite, iaitu si babi. heheh.

*unta!! & *emu and the kid

*Ozi³, oink!oink!oint! & *black phyton

Malam tu we all camp at the dam, tepi sungai with red rock mountain...mmg tak puas tgk bukit tu. Cam biasek malam we did campfire, fullmoon cerah menampakkan lagi shape awan² cantik.. uiyoo sangat cantik. Mmg baring layan awan dan jiwa je aaa malam tu. Sambil² dengar lawak² aussie which I recently picked up their joke. Kalo tak derang ketawa, aku pon ketawe. We ended up on the bed at 3am. Hehehe

Sunday morning, seko² bangun muke soggy je. Buat breakfast pon slow² mamai, trip untuk ke Mary Kathleen park (ghost town yg penah pegi dulu) yg rancang utk pegi that morning pon terus cancel. We decided to go home which was a good idea because sume penat.
Kesimpulannya, Outback ni mmg lawaaa gileee...silap jangkaan sape² kate boring. Mmg besssssttt gileer cantik gileerr. Cumanya my trip ni wasnt complete because of missing somthing, and you know what it is. :)

Si Kamis dan Jumat yg membencikan...

2008-08-15T17:45:00.011+10:00

Those two days have not been really pleasant. It was quiet as tikus on monday and tuesday, so i thought ponteng on wednesday would be fine. But ended up kedebummm all of the sudden baaanyaaakk gileee tasks piled up and they keep coming, phone was ringing, email kedussh kedushh, and ppl keep coming to my desk with high hope on me! amekkkk!dpt laa obat bekeja keras kamis dan jumat.

Honestly, I dont mind with hundreds of task but yang aku benci the distraction from them la bile tgh nak setelkan one problem...i've been using 3 pcs with 2monitors each at office with multitasks work pon x cukup rasenyer..cam kene split myself into three kot baru bley...tu blum termasuk yg call tibe ade problem from the site, aduhh kene plak travel for hours yg bosan..

Thursday morning had interview for this job to swap me from contract to permanent job...Alhamdulillah interview was fine, but susah sket nak kelentong as one of the panel tu was Peter..hahahah..I dunno somehow the end of that session they kinna sensed that i'm not interested on continue working with them. They promised me macam2 training and IT cert (Novell, CCNA, ITIL) for me that definitely will build up my career dgn laju.I think they likes me. kot.....Skarang macam termakan plak dgn janji2 manis derang tu, and now having second thought of leaving Cloncurry. Aduhh, hari² aku doa mintak petunjuk memudahkan aku buat decision..Amin..

Haa ni part buat aku sengih bile tibe² received email from somebody from exxonmobil bunyi begini:

"Salam.

Saya ni suami Cik Nab.
Kalau nok hantar resume, gunokan email address ni deh.
Berminak ko nok kejo kat offshore."

MS Mamat Sebu
EMEPMI Drilling Group Malaysia

Soo tak syak lagi sure mak aku ni yg rajin contact member die utk carikan keje aku kat Msia..but offshore???perkkkk jauh ngan segala manusia dan bangunan lagih? Isk somehow tibe² mak aku ni cam tak kasik aku duk kelantan jeer...nak gak campak aku jauh² lagi. Kelakar gak bunyi email tu, aku pon tatau camne nak reply. Nak reply in english nampak berlagak plak, dlm bahasa baku kang nampak cam skema and nerd plak..Last² aku blasah reply dlm bahasa kelantan gak. Nasib baik resume tak tulis dlm bahasa kelantan gak. Hahaha..exxonmobil pon not bad sebenarnyer kot.

PR? tu pon satu lagi..supposedly i will getting the answer this month. Been trying to catch up with my lawyer, cam biasek aa busy meeting laa..not in the office aa..emel mmg tak reply plak tu...spending thousands of bux on them pon rase hopeless je derang ni. Aziz yg dah tunggu setaun lebeh pon x dpt lagi PR...really really weird..mmg aus govt ni pon kekadang sengal gak. All the PR applications the whole states are process by Federal Govt satu je kat Adelaide. Mane tak lembab kababooonyee...it would really really great if they process it by State Govt...so each state process themselves...ni yg aku rase nak involve in Aus politic ni..hahah berangan aa ckp omputeh pon tak reti...

Neway this monday confirm kene dtg awal opis setelkan all those jobs before office hour. In the meantime, weekend ape bikin? haahaa 4wd Adventure! 8 cars are going this time..and overnite at somewhere then back on Sunday arvo. Lupekan segala tekanan, and I know I will get over it on Monday...and next week tooo the decisions has to be made whether stay or sayonara cloncurry....
have a nice weekend and enjoy a country music from Kid Rock Featuring Sheryl Crow:

Wild Donkey Race

2008-08-12T20:17:00.004+10:00

Saje² bosan kat opis tadi skali terjumper video² from the social club. So one of the activities they went last year was Quamby Rodeo. An hour from Cloncurry metropolitan. Here are some actions from that night. Competitors have to ride wild donkey to the finishing line after had two shot of tequila in Mexican fit. Gelak sorang² aku kat opis tadi layan part derang naik donkey.

Next Destination???

2008-08-11T12:12:00.004+10:00

Hurmm..CITEC (IT firm handle QLD States Govt) rang me this morning, told me my application unsuccessful..but tak tau aa dierang nak jage hati aku ke or true, he said they will be 2 jobs available next week or two at Rockhampton/Gladstone.

C dan A Anniversary

2008-08-06T12:57:00.008+10:00

Tuuuuooooinnng~~~Kepam Kepam kepam! Kebuuushhhh...clap clap clap! (fireworks & applause) hehehe Hari ni lengkap lah setahun aku di Cloncurry...ceeepat giler raseenyer....survive gak aku...fuih!

Meh laa dengar cerite sket sejarah camner bley aku tercampak di bumi Curry ni...
Teringat lagi the first time I was offered the job after the phone interview. I was at Oxley house (byk siot kenangan rumah bes tu) that time. Biasek laa after grad ni susah sket nak dpt keje terus, so very excited kalo dpt interview...My first preference job wasnt to work in IT, I was graduated in IT and Sport Studies (part of sport science). My final thesis on Sport Studies was biomechanical in golf, so cam konon² ade chance aa nak keje in arena golf, moreover I've 4months experience working with Qld Baseball before...so baanyak giler sport job yg aku applied tapi satu pon tak sangkut...so as a backup aku apply laa IT (this current job ler)..takder aa semangat sgt pon nak apply cuz i was really sure ape itu IT...so satu ni jer apply but alhamdulillah terus sangkut...dan aku tak check plak job location di Cloncurry ni.

Lepas interview, pastu die kate aa i was accepted for the job...melonjak gak sukeee...but then bile part dia tanyer "So you familiar whereabout Cloncurry?", aku gamam aa kejap tak penah dgr pon tempat tu...tapi aku dgn slamber, "Yup yup...wouldnt be any problem sir"..confident jer....lepas tu dlm hepi aku google aa cari kat mane sbenarnyer...bile dah tahu....maakk aiiii kat maneee ni siot...tried search google image pon takde pon gamba2 Cloncurry ni...tak dapat aa nak bayangkan camner tempat die kan...dlm hati, berlasaahhh jer aaar...so begitu laa detiknyer...

So baru jer laa setaun aku ni keje dlm IT ni...rase cam lameeee jer...camner laa bapak aku bley tahan keje puluhan tahun...handalan betul...

Anyways, my job has been advertised for permenent, and 18th Aug ni interview...so berserah jer laa...kalo dapat ok jer la, then kalo tak dapat pon cun gak...bleh retire, beli kapaltebang 4 seats dgn rumah sebjik tepi laut layan cucu and chillout isap cerut...hahaha anyone nak join, joooom! ahah berangan cam dah jadi Bill Gates...

With the new tech nowadays, google has introduced googlemap streetview...ade 360 degrees image real cool stuf...eg. here is the main street in Cloncurry...

So maybe lepas ni pi Woolies, beli cake anniversary kecik sbijik..potong buat dinner..

:)

Bangla yang hipokrit

2008-07-31T12:57:00.004+10:00

Baru aku tahu sape punyer keje anto Mr B Ali ke sini. Si bangla yang mangkok. He's one of the train driver in Cloncurry, first met him in the gym awhile ago.
So came across him again kat Woolies yesterday and he asked me if anyone come to the office on Monday to see me. Then he told me that Mr B Ali is the tabligh, doing a tour to Queensland. Bukan aku tak suka tabligh (adik datuk aku pon tabligh kuat kat Kelantan tapi die cool), cume tabligh arab/keling ni pundek sket. Aku tanyer aaa pesal dia tak jumpe je Mr B Ali instead of aku? then he answered with bangla penat mekat slang, "I warrs art humm, sleerrpeeng" ( I was at home, sleeping)....waaakkkluuu lengkong!
Bangla ni was hepi when first time met me (when muslim meet brothers), convinced me that he is a good muslim (tak tanye pon). Siap nak dtg opis aku, suruh book any room ajak jemaah zuhur asar time office hour (umah aku seminit drive je bley balik solat kejap kot). Tapi why another muslim (Mr B Ali) yang dtg dari jauh Sydney die tanak jumpe?? Maybe he was tired drove the train the day before, but why not since die kat umah and sacrifice a few hours (a few minutes perhap) spend time with his tabligh?? This is my answer for you bangla, Chhhhittt Porraah!

Mr B Ali..

2008-07-28T16:13:00.004+10:00

I've got visitors from Sydney that claimed themselves as Mr B Ali. They went to my office but I was at home enjoying my mee hoon goreng while watching The Unit. They left a message as below:

So, with all the curiosity I asked Joanne (lady at the front desk) who they are. And she said they wear this cover on their head (serban) and they are arabian with long goatie and white dressed. Gulp! Pak Arab mane plak ni?? ouh and they drove from Sydney! Mak aii apehal pak arab dtg dari Sydney ke Cloncurry carik aku? Joanne dgn muke yakin kasitau they mmg carik aku 'Azman'. How the hell they knew my name??I cant recall any friend from Sydney cuz I dont have any arab friend..dah ler aku ni tak suke arab, yg muka ala² arab pon aku benci...haha yes, I am racist toward arab! muahaha

Neway, aku risau je sbb from Sydney ni possibly:

AAPT Lawyer : I've been receiving bill from them but I had canceled the service ages ago. Received couple of lawyer letter on behalf of AAPT last month. Kalo antar org pon, takkan laa antar pak arab kan?
FOXTEL Lawyer : Yup, again it is all about bill. I talked to FOXTEL last year that I wanted to swapped with AUSTAR since there is no FOXTEL services in Cloncurry. They wanted to penalties me because Im still under the contract but I would've stay with FOXTEL if they have coverage in here. So not fair for me. Bla bla bla and finally they said I wont be charged and I won. Got AUSTAR installed and all of the sudden kepaaammm sampai bill kene charge break of contract from FOXTEL, wot theee?? cilake tul mat salleh tu terus aku buat bodo je. Every month from then dpt bill and lawyer letter. Hurmm again takkan aa dierang hantar pak arab lawyer kan?
Friend of my officemates from Sydney. My mates told me that his friend from Sydney is coming to visit him and do some bore hunting. They are Lebanese. So I met my mates tu and he convinced me the Lebanese guys not yet in Curry. And they are modern Lebanese, tak mungkin dress up jubah and serban. Dah ler nak hunt bore plak tu. So tak mungkin derang.
Maybe Mat Rock <--- confident jer Amar punye guess. Mat Rock mendeenyeee?? buat mangrove research kat sini? sungai pon kontang inikan nak ade mangrove...illusi tinggi aa ko Amar. Closed guess by the way, Amar.

Dalam keseraman tu, I told my email buddy, Amar and Ansar to ring them to investigate (menyamar). But sorang² plak ade je alasan sendiri..adeeee jer...kukukui...aku bukan ape...risau je, jauh² gini malas aku nak cari hal...doa² pak arab tu tak dtg lagi..I didnt call back and Mr B Ali remains a mystery.....

Surat Cinta Padamu Vista

2008-07-21T21:19:00.026+10:00

Kehadapan Vista yang dikasihi,
Di awal dahulu amatku gundah gulana pikirkan pertukaran OS(OperatingSystem) XP kepadamu Vista...ku format segala isi perut hardisk, ku senaraikan software yang wajib ada di komputarku supaya serasi (compatible) denganmu wahai Vista. Memandangkan pelbagai masalah hubunganku bersama si XP terutamanya XP merajuk tidak mahu mainkan suara (audio) semua flash, hampirku jadi gila hilang akal tiada audio tatkala layan ezora dan youtube. Hanya video sahaja yang nampak tanpa suara. Pelik, kerana lagu dan movie ade pulak sound. Weekend lepas sungguhku berang terhadapnya, penatku update driver, rollback driver, cucuk speaker sane sini..tidak jugak berjaya. Kehadiranmu Vista terus menyaksikan lambaian terakhirku kepada XP.

Latar blakang cintaku padamu vista,
DVD copy burned oleh Brenden, tiada cover atau box hadir bersamamu. Masih suci putih berseri..inilah waktu pertamaku sentuhmu Vista Ultimate 32bit...tiada cd key memastikan kamu masih single dan tiada milik sesiapa. Kutahu kamu adalah OEM (OriginalEquipmentManufacted-Free OS when buy manufactured pc) tapi tidakku hirau latar belakangmu. Tidakku mampu untuk membeli kelahiran tulen (ori) berhargakan AUD450. Ampun dan maaf kepada Pakcik Gates, ko dah cukup kaye dah. Tiada bezanya antara kamu OEM dan Original Product, kamu tetap mampu update dan berfungsi sepertinya. Hanya perbezaan darjat yang kutidak sekali kali pandang. 'Dub dab dub dab', degup jantungku tatkala ku install mu. Masihku belum yakin dengan penemuan awal kita ini.

Cinta pandangan pertama...
Mengambil masa 50minit untuk lengkapkan installation. Sungguh lama jika dibandingkan dengan installation ex-OS ku, XP. Walaupon begitu, kulihat lebih matang windows kali ni. Amat kesederhanaan (simple) welcoming tones mu mencairkan hatiku. Lebih lunak dari XP yang amat lantang dan agak biadab. Pertamanya inginku install mobo (motherboard), gpu (graphic processing unit), sound unit and modem driver.Tidak disedari, rupanya sudahmu install secara automatic diwaktu penantian selama 50minitku tadi. Termasuklah modem password (cayalah! sbb aku lupe password). Vista, kau amat memahami perasaan aku. Ku sudah dapat rasakan akan kekuatan ikatan asmaradana antara kita berdua. Lantas terusku install segala software, tiada sebarang masalah keseraian denganmu wahai Vista. Kamu memang bagaikan gadis kampung yang ayu dan cantik yang tidak memerlukan segala bedak dan wangian. Penulisan (font) dan warna amat berseri dan mantap (sharp). Dahulunya aku tidak berapa minat 22'' acer monitor ni kerana kecerahan (brightness) yang amat crap. (very typical acer product), tetapi dengan bantuanmu Vista, monitorku amat cantik dan berseri sekarang ini. Sungguh ringan tanganmu membantu sesama lain. Sudah pasti bondaku amat berkenan padamu vista. Hatiku cair untuk kali kedua...

Keindahanmu...
Sesungguhnya kamu memang dilahirkan cantik, cuma inginku hiasi dirimu:
1. Windows sidebar memang amat berguna. Terus aku hadiahkan jam berjenama ROLEX model Yatch Master 3. Wow sungguh berseri. Di sidebar itu jugalah kau ungkapkan picture slideshow, kenangkan indah memory ku dahulu kala bersama bidadariku. Amat bijak kehadiran slideslow itu kalau tidak ku simpan sahaja gambar itu tanpa dilihat. Memang pandai kau menjaga perasaan aku.

2. Amat ku benci dengan taskbar windows, laluku sembunyi (hide) dan gantikan dengan AquaBar, shortcut yang cantik terampilan di wajahmu (desktop) dengan single click toward program. Jika tidak, haruslah ku lalui ke Start>All Program>program, leceh...sungguh leceh...AquaBar icon cantik cantik belaka, boleh diubahsuai (customise) makin berseri wajah vistaku...(ala ala ala sipu2 plak vista ni).

3. Pemakaianmu terlalu ringkas, inginku lihat kamu bermodenan sedikit, kupergayakanmu dengan Yodm'3d! Ku hampir melonjak rasa kegembiraan. Yodm'3d, adalah functioning design kepada Linux Beryil (link wajib tgk) Zooousssss! bagaikan kudibawamu ke masa hadapan tahun 2020.Canggih, sungguh canggih...Tujuanku kenalimu kepada Yodm'3d:

a) Boleh set 4 desktop yang berlainan wallpaper. Amat mempermudahkan urusan program ku tatkala satu desktop sudah penuh sesak. Maka tiada lagi programs yang berserabut dalam one desktop. Paham? tidak mengapa, amat dalam maknanya cinta ini padamu yang memang sukar di tuturkan. Hanya hati yang mengerti.
b)Ku pilih wallpaper sama rata, ada gambar famili, bidadari, minat dan binatang belaanku, jimi si rimau kumbang. Tiada rasa iri hati sesama mereka kerana wajah meraka selaluku amati.
c) Sungguh mudah untuk pilih secara putaran (rotating) serta zooming dan drag & drop.

Kemantapanmu....
Cantik memang cantik, semestinya mahu berkekalan lama. seperti bidadariku, ingin kau cantik sehingga lamanya. Akanku jaga kemantapanmu (performance):
1. Vista, kau telah menyediakan Performance and Information Tools (Control Panel>System and Maintenance>Performance & Information Tools). Bagi keserasianmu Vista dan PC, telah ku dimaklumkan dengan rating is 5.2. Amat tinggi rating tersebut, janjiku padamu, bukan sahaja tidak akan membawahi rating tersebut tetapi akan terus mantap (improvement). (haaa ingat awek2 je kene rating....eheeh)

2. Ku perhatikan CPU(jiwa) and RAM(perasaan) di Windows Sidebar .Akan ku pastikan jiwa dan perasaan mu tidak melepasi tahap yang sedia ada. Tidak ku sanggup melihat kau menderita lantas merajuk yang akan melibatkan meletup pc ni. Bersama sejumlah empat giga ram, telah kau ambil 1giga (1gig to run vista). Amat murah hati kerana membiarkan lagi 3 gig spare kepada program yang lain. Tambahan pula aku ni suka run program banyak di satu masa (at once) Kau memang saling faham memahami..ohh indahnya~..

3. Penyesalanku di awal pertemuan. Ku pohon maaf kepadamu vista di atas anggapan negative mu kerana audio system yang tidak lengkap. Hanya 3 dari 5 speakers sahaja yang berfungsi. Ku memarhimu kerana beranggapan ianya tiada berfungsi sebab kehadiranmu. Telahku penat update and rollout sound driver, adjust di audio manager, tidak juga berjaya. Fahamilah, tidak sekali perasan benci padamu. Bukanlah niat dihati memarahimu, mengertilah ia semakin membuatkan cinta yang mendalam mengorek isi hati cinta kita bersama. Kuakui, semuanya adalah kerana kekuranganku...amat sengal kurasakan. Yang sebenarnya ku salah cucuk di input jack blakang PC ku . Ada 6input jacks yang tidak dapat aku bezakan warnya yang seiras. Ku sedaya upaya cuba dan salah ('try and error') cucuk cucuk tetapi ku mengaku kekuranganku, di mana silapnya?Ku ini rabun warna! Tidakku dapat bezakan warna light brown, light green and yellow. urghh...mengambil masa setengah jam barulah akhirnya menghasilkan crispy and solid sound...haaaa legeeeee....Harapanku, agar kekuranganku ini dapat diterimamu seadanya. Kini...lima speakers + subwoofers berdetum detum...puasss! sexy sungguh suaramu Vista..Ketika kita bersama di alam game dan movies memang rase seperti benar benar. Tatkala games perang, dapat ku rasakan musuh datang dari blakang, inginku toleh seperti seakan akan didatangi secara benar. Sungguh indah perasaan ni..

4. Kusedar kecantikanmu amat digemari ramai. Ku taruhkan security untuk menjagamu, ku Update Vista versionmu yang terkini dan juga Antivirus. Tidakku sanggup kau dikebas (hack) atau disakiti (virus) orang maka kukorbankan AUD12 membeli Kaspersky Antivirus dari ebay. Ku pakaikan padamu, amat mudah(reliable) dan ringan. Tidak mengganggu segala urusan program lain. Amatku recommend! Berkali bagusnya berbanding AVG free yang pernah kecewaku dahulu kala. (yelaa namepun free)

Fuh, lega dan amatku puas hati dengan takdir kita bersama, Vista..kau sesungguhnya memang cantik dan sexy dari segi rupa (interface), suara (audio) dan physical (performance). Tidak pernah rasa jemu di setiap hari ku mengadapmu. Percayalah, tanpamu disisi ini, hilang akal la aku kat Cloncurry. Penemuanmu adalah sesuatu yang baru dalam diari hidupku.

Kaulah Intan Payung Jantung Hatiku,
-Azman Love Vista-

*jgn jeles

Weekend @ BrissVegas

2008-07-18T10:50:00.005+10:00

Weekend was very fantastica bombastic! Met my bidadari after almost 4 months being away..biar pon seketika, dapat jugak melepaskan rindu tak terkata...ceewahh! So many things finally settled; get my Notice of Assessment from ATO for tax return (kaye kejap aku tak lame lagi), visa updated, layan sepam dua wayang, lepak Borders almost halfday bace² mags and books, had an interview with CITEC (IT Firm) in Gladstone 7hrs from Brissie, catch up with buddies cerita pasal masca lepas, gossiping and what not <--- (perkataan famous kat msia).

Namun begitu, duet mengalir cam air jeer rase.. almost AUD500 gak abis aku blanje selama 5 hari di brisbane, meaning 100bux p/day average! gilee..tu psl aa aku mmg takley duk brisbane..bahaya..tu blum lagi campur kalo aku main golf..ape yg aku spent telah pon disiasat: spent on foood food foood, upgrade my PC bought another 2g RAM + bought external 500HD, PC game Splinter Cell Double Agent, dvd box The Unit S1 and S2 + Las Vegas S3, bekalan daging ayam utk sbulan, magazines and what not. Banyak siot abis..im glad to live in Cloncurry, agak² gian nak beli somthing pi la shopping kat Woolies...

Hurmm now back in Curry, Brenden dah cabot balik Emerald..Peter plak chuck a sickie buat perangai olok² sakit harini anta sms kol 8am berbunyi "Feelin crook mate, wont make it today", another word for 'sickie' is 'crook', new vocab for me..hehe. Dave busy giler nak kacau die pon seram..biaseknyer keje² on Friday we save it for Monday but rase semangat harini nak setelkan sume je..

So wot the go for weekend, mate?

Usual routine : Laundry sume baju samada dah pakai atau blom, masak for stock next week, kebas katil kat luar, buang sampah, cuci kitchen kasik kilat.
Layan Ezora, kodok last week yg missed about 5 episodes plus another 5 this week, total up 10 episod! uihhh dengar cite dah makin suspend dah drama ni.
Layan Splinter Cell, great graphic yet too many hassle nak kene tukar setting sound la, setting play with xbox360 controller, directx la, spent the whole nite smalam setting menatang ni skali youtube plak tade sound...kimek aaa Ubisoft (developer), slalu kuarkan game yg gempak but setting pelik² kene adjust.
Buat timeplan for Vista upgrade on my SilentAmmo (nama manja pc aku). Go for Vista Ultimate terus. Excited ni nak guna Vista, bley gune directx10! But have to make sure sume software that currently im using is compatible with Vista. I probably have 100++ programs in Silentammo at the moment. I never had problem with XP, run smooth but gotta catchup with the flow...and rumor heard that new OS is coming next year, Window 7 a.k.a Vienna!
Tido di siang hari..haa Cloncurry dah panas dah smule, kejap giler winter...malam² dah takyah pakai stokin dah..siang kene start pasang airkon..waduuhh horror aa summer..

Greatly appreciate to Anas dan Ansa for your place, dah naik segan aku asyik merempat kat umah ko every month, nanti aa aku beli rumah ko tu, biar ko plak merempat! hehehe..tq tq
Have a nice weekend ya!

Ghost Town~~

2008-07-10T12:39:00.016+10:00

Yesterday, Dave suddenly came in to us (IT section), with a stressy face and a cuppa on his hand..asking if any of us interested going to Mary Kathleen a.k.a Ghost Town..on that moment about 3.30pm...stil 1.5 working hrs to go..dengan slamber Brenden said, "shit yeah we going!" tanpa berpikir panjang...hahaha...cayalah supervisor! Slamber O'sullivan (bapak die) je nak tinggal opis tanpa IT support. kami sempat gak usha kat Google Earth how to get there and nampak laa ade ghost town...

Mary Kathleen history:
Situated about 63km from Cloncurry highway then about 5km off the road. Took us about 40minutes to get there. The town was there since uranium was discovered in 1954 by Norman McConachy. Mary Kathleen named after Norman McConachy's wife who believe had died of cancer of the uranium effect itself! The town is about 5km from the mining site. However, the operations ceased in 1981, after one million litres of radioactive liquid was deliberately released from the mines evaporation ponds during an unexpectedly wet season. 1984, the township auctioned off and community moved and left the town unaccompanied with empty buildings till now. Ghost town....

Byk movies about this kind of thing, one of them is Wrong Turn..cerita pasal ada penduduk ghost town yg saiko akibat kene effect uranium mines. Mereka bunuh dgn kejam org² yg datang ke sana dgn alasan marah kepada manusia yg gilakan penggalian uranium tanpa fikirkan hati perut kepada penduduk. Jadi aku terbayang aaa tibe² bley jumpe manusia saiko kat Mary Kathleen ni...perkkk...dah la Dave tak bawak rifle die...seram...dalam perjalanan, si Brenden dah pekene dalam 6pack of beers dah tak henti² buat lawak..kurang keseraman sket..

We went to the uranium site first, the track was fairly bad, really need 4wd and hard to see the track and would lost easily..hmm..sampai sana, it wasnt a huge site as others..but wwooowww kagum gak sebenarnyer...saw lots of roos drinking the water from there, wonder what would they turn up to be later on...cam warewolf ke, gergasi ke...mane la tau kan. The mountains surrounding look different from others too..gondol smacam, ade pokok tapi tak banyak..and pokok pon lain sket tak penah tgk kat Cloncurry...might be the uranium effects kot...Took a few photos there and we cruised..here we come, Ghost Town...

At the town entrance, Dave yang kekadang saiko ni bley buat lawak plak nak tinggalkan aku time tgh syok amek gambar..kimek sungguh...ade laa dlm 200m gak aku kene lari kejar 4wd die tu...buat lawak time² dah dekat senja..isk isk..kimek...then we were in the town..but we saw nothing but pokok² rendang dan a few caravan park yang camping kat situ (gile ke hape) walaupon dilarang camp...the streets was pretty good...tapi pokok² dan suasana dah nak gelap buat kami terpinga² about the direction nak cari building² lama. Pusing² punye pusing about 10minutes tak jugak jumpe any bangunan or atleast a cricket pitch from what we saw from Google Earth...they were suppose to be somewhere there...tapak² je ader laa...Dave yang dah putus asa gave up before we get lost in there..

Agak kecewe gak aaa trip tak nampak building langsung, aku dah imagine dah building yg dah tua dgn penuhi red dirts....moreover, there wasnt much time to explore unless nak overnite kat sane la, gile! Anyway...it was a good trip with those crazy ppl (Dave and Brenden, I'm not..hehe)..

Alrighty, gotta do some reports before flying back Brissie tomorrow, same flight as Brenden..im taking 3days off this time, mataairku ade kat brisbane too...would be very very pleasant holidays! Yeeha! Adios eberybadi!

Kepam!!Kepamm!!

2008-07-05T12:24:00.010+10:00

Not awhile ago I was looking for the new hobby since hobbies aku tak bley pakai kat sini (golf, fishing, pantai).. so i found, taraaaaa! SHOOTING!!...there are numbers of Rifle Club in Brissy and one in Mt Isa (2hrs drve from Cloncurry) too.. i am interested mainly in Sniper! (*link)
Shooting is a bit cossie than golf.. lebey kurang gini la:

Licenses (Firearms + Application) = AUD 150
Club fees = AUD 75
Rifle = AUD1500
Rifle Optical = AUD300 - AUD 1000
Bullet = AUD 25 to AUD30 /dozen
Storage = AUD~100 - AUD300
Other Accessories (Cleaning + Case etc ) = AUD800

We are are looking at range of AUD 3000 gak aa nak start mende ni..bley tahan mahal gak..but my gut telling me that it will be the best freaking experience ever! ni asyik tembak gune mouse + keyboard jer.

Yup, again shooting is a common hobby among aussies...cam golf gak la..three of my office mates actively involved, haaa nak yg bes lagi rupenyer Brenden is one of them! after a week with Brenden, it turned up that guy was'nt bad at all! mungkin aku bengang sket sbb pasal driving license die tu je aa..but we have in common : PC hardware nerd and love shooting game,... tapi again pesallll laa ozi ni suke sgt lawak kentut? one day he showed me video clip from youtube org² kentut..byk plak tu, takde aa lawak sgt selain kepuuut kepuut preet preet.. tak paham kawe...

Back to story, friday arvo we saje² pi point lookout, then si Brenden start aa bukak cerita pasal sniper, how to shoot from the top tu, xplained a bit there and here pasal wind, distance, heartbeat, trigger..perkkk aku dapat rasekan kegilaan die...nice...then, last nite after work, me and mates juz lepaking sambil borak pasal shooting for the whole nite..they were shocking when I said it is mandatory hukum gantung if illegally own gun in Msia..they showed me some pics of their hunt; kangaroos, rabbits, bores, birds, camel pon ade! one by one they storied on how many times they had to shoot to bring them down and which area to shoot..how bullet went through their lungs and ribs...perkkk..ganass...not mentioning splattered headshot...uhhhhh...

Then Dave tibe² bukak beg die..taraaa! all the shooting gears except the rifle kept in the case in his car, and plus he a bit wasted dat nite so tanak cari pasal laa main ngan sniper malam² buta..mabuk² pon pandai disiplin diri...bagus. He showed us his ammo and what not. Coooooool..agak jakon laa aku...life bulllet! Mmg menarik abissss...Dave (25yr old) ni agak saiko sket, he drove his '98 Pajero from Brissy to Curry (24hrs) sambil² stop over at any shooting spot..badan besar cam marine..not a big talker but kelakar kekadang..last nite on our way back from staff farewell party, he asked me "Mate, issit safe walking around at these time? Coz u know wot, I am a good runner", berkate sungguh² sambil angguk² kepala suruh aku percaye..hehehe.. gelak besoo aku, agak penakut rupenyer..hehehe.nampak gaye cam silent assassin.hehehe..well, he will be in Curry for 3 months...so if any chance he will bring me along shooting...jengjenejeng!

*kelibat jakun Ammo .338 :

10 Years Career Plan..

2008-06-28T23:45:00.014+10:00

Weekend so far bley tahan bermakna...siang cam biasek celik mate je layan Ezora sambil pekene teh tarik + roti nutella..agak² dah tghari bangun katil buat laundry, tried fixing my mate's buggered laptop...wanted swap from vista to xp..rupenyer hardisk die yg crash (bile goncang ade bunyi somthing)..then takde mood nak tgk movie (hampir muak, pls jgn..) about another 20movies ready to watch, layan PSP Hot Shot Golf Open Tee 2.. Comel gile game ni..then ini dia yg bermakna...my 10 Years Career Plan..kalo kerajinan dan kesungguhan di tahap 90-99%:
*rajin² le click utk tumbesaran..

Rumusan diagram:

SAP Basis dan System :

Plan ini adalah target untuk mencapai gaji yang mencecah AUD120k/year dalam masa 10 sehingga 13 tahun di Australia dalam bidang Teknology Maklumat.

Perbezaan amat ketara di antara 20-50k p/year gaji di setiap tahap. Sebagai contoh; Senior Position System adalah AUD55k manakala Senior SAP pula AUD100k.

Penyelidikan akan di kaji lebih terperinci terutamanya : Jika diperhatikan, gaji Project Manager SAP adalah AUD120k/year, maka perlu dikaji harga gaji Manager SAP (satu tapak hadapan).
Ingatan: Gaji tersenarai adalah gaji bersih sebelum ditolak tax. (23%-40%)
Cara bagaimana mahu mencapai cita cita tersebut akan di rangkaikan kepada tampalan yang baru akan datang (new post).

4. Gelisah...rase cam nak balik raye...annual leave dah byk dah by September (syawal)...but then,
Dilemma...if got other job before then, abis aa sume annual leave have to start from zero...meaning no raya, more work...

5. Gelisah...got called from my friend SAP Consultant in Axon KL, offer me training thus breaking into SAP which is my dream area in Itee..then attach with them for 2yrs in KL..it is true average salary for SAP meletup average US100400 p/year (link) ..if ada 2yrs experience confirm AUD2000 per weeek kat Ozi! per week bro!but then,
Dilemma...tapi nak start tu sakit..I wont survive or saving kat KL as im new to SAP with super basic salary...kalo ade SAP kat Kelantan maybe kot aku amek..

6. Gelisah...mungkin sanggup jer permanent job in Curry ni, great saving...but then,
Dilemma..mungkin aku bley jadi gile sbb nak kuar Curry ni jauh dan mahal gile tp yg penting lagi ape yek hukum Islam kalo dgn tempat aku yg tade muslim utk jemaah Solat Jumaat?duet duet gak...neraka tu menunggu jeer...hish seram beb..

7. Gelisah..duet blom cukup lagi ni nak buat k***n...far more from my target...but then,
Dilemma..need to find out how to earn more money...hurmm...yeah happiness does'nt come cheap...but dont worry baby, I'll put me weight, dont worry yourself...

Begitu lah Gelisah dan Dilemma..mainan pemikiran harianku...

Arhhhgg Soccerrrr!!!

While world in the eye into Euro 08, Socceroos really struggling against China for the world cup qualifying...kalah 1-0, YeS!!!YeS!!! China controlled the game like control kete mainan made in china..puas hati gak...should've been 2-0 but sengaje jee ozi masuk kotak time Chinese nak sepak penalty, bola masuk tapi kene amek 2nd take and Chinese missed...busuk...

Great game Turkey and Germany...except Ballack yg aku ingatkan tak main, rupenyer ade kat padang...pemalas... tak byk create game...pancit smacam je..nasib baik other Deutches laju..Turkey supporters gileee havoc!Bes siot tgk live kat stadium...Good job also to cameraman yg sentiasa focus baeeekk punye kat awek² Germany yg semestinye eye candy...Germany 3, Turkey 2...so who's gona meet Germany in the final?? aku bajet Russia...sbb fashion zaman skang team yg ade winger laju akan jadi kuat...they are architect of the game, dulu² midfielder architect...

Waduih..teringat bola, teringat MASCA...sedeh..sadis....nak turun mascaaa....haa today Itee guy from other district start in my office filling position for my supervisor sbb die cuti for a month....mamat niii leeer yg driving license kene gantung...berikut temubual bersama die..

Aku : Hey mate, wot a go with yor license? (konon² nak buat slang ozi koboi aaar)

Brenden: Ouh, a bit tragic..busted one nite in breath test a while ago...got suspended for several months..(perkk slang die lagiii koboi siot!)

Aku : Haaa Okay...(dlm hati berkate: 'bengong kamu!')(ingatkan abis laa conversation)

Brenden: But it was early this year, I should've got back my license a few months back...

Aku : Then wot happen?

Brenden: A bloke hit my car when I was on my way to QT (Queensland Transport) to get back my license...

Aku : Surely wasn't your fault, was it?

Brenden: Apparently yeah, was my fault because I am the one who drove the car...

Aku : (kamu sungguh mangkuk!) *sigh sambil geleng kepale...

Brenden yang nasib tidak baik telah dikenakan saman sebanyak AUD3400 + accident cost repair for both cars (insurance tak kaver)..+ kene tarik terus lesen! according him, MUST take driving test again, not after 3 freaking year!!!hamekkkkkkk kooo..3 tahun tak bley bawak kete terus...hahha..dah tahu lesen kene suspended lagi mau drive...dah la kene time hari lesen dah idup kembali...

So Moral die wahai kawan²:
aku bengang ngan die, sebab die laaaa aku tak dapat balik Brisbane for MASCA..sbb ade keje kat site yg perlukan driving..and I am only one can drive and he CAN'T! Sengal idup..

Spain x Italy = boooorreeeeeng! Italy played without their watchdog, Gatusso and their architect, Pirlo...player lain seko² makan angin (jalan jalan) kat padang..Spain pon tade aa main bes sgt pon, tapi atleast nampak aa kesungguhan sket...boring ooo boring...confirm kalah aaa lawan Russia (semi) if gaye main cam ni je...ZZzzzzzzzzzZZzzz

Blasah je aa title ape²..

2008-06-22T22:25:00.011+10:00

First time weekend without playing any games...Frustation after my savegame of Assassin's Creed got corrupted and hav to start from begining again...tension Ubisoft sengal! Terus tade mood then layan Euro and layan 9 movies, 2 dramas episode on weekend from Friday nite to Sunday. Bangun from katil for masak, toilet, jemur baju and solat je...gile bley obese aku ni...maybe i spent 20 out of 24 hrs on the bed each day on the weekend.

Comment on Euro Quater Final:
German 3 Vs Portugal 2 - Very unprofessional played by Deutsch boy...main busuk, banyak gile blakon...kene langgar kat dada buat sakit kat kepale..cit porah! sedap² main pijak kaki player yg sedang jatuh...then main tolak defender heading for goal...wat theee??

Croatia 1 Vs Turkey 3 - A very good work Turkey semangat waja, Ervin Boban sure frust tonggeng tgk this game plus mangkuk 3 players tak masuk penalty! Definitely im with Turkey for kalahkan German on semi!!

Holland 1 Vs Russia 3 - Mmg Russia main gempak gile! Was amazed with Kolodin several long shot cam peluru..laju but lack of aiming...and crossing cun meletus! Baru laa striker hepi nak skor with crossing yg cun²...kalau aa team Msia Qld cross camtu, confirm 5 goal aku skor in each game! hahaha farrrkkk stil tak dpt blk for masca... :(

Italy Vs Spain - Predict Italy menang...Go Pirlo go!

Hahah tak penah pon bangun pagi² kol 4 tgk Euro live...but I tried avoid from knowing the result until i watch the replay..hohoho, baru rase cam tgk live...then baru usha soccernet..

Dramas:

Akasia: Ezora Cinta Sejati Diuji 1001 Halangan (ceeewahh)- Cerita pasal seorang pakwe(Beego) yg berhijrah ke KL utk cari duet nak kawin, but ended up sangkut kat minah kaye super hot(Dynas)...episode 16-20 this weekend..menarik bout this drama is the actors mostly pandai belakon and all the characters sedap mate memandang (eye candy..hehe)..ade lawak, ade emo...buat aku gelak buat aku sedeh..bagus bagus..Ezora (Fazura) mmg bijak main peranan sebagai gadis kampung yg berjaye buatkan aku cair...but this weekend punye episode die dah start berpakaian cam bandar sket, rambut dah karat sket²..dahhh terus tak cun..kalo dulu kain batik berbaju t, terase la cam cek mek kampung aku...now plot dah campur aduk with more new characters appearance , dan dah start ade conflict² famili ni....dubdubdub gak jantung aku ni kekadang tak sabar nak tahu next episode...keep a good work Ahmad Idham! hehe...apparently, adik aku yg kat Mesir dan Kelantan pon layan cite ni gak..ahahha...dulu Malim Kundang, tgk ngan bapak aku skali!

Ozzy Tv Series : Underbelly- Got the Dvd's from one of my mates..based of true story about gangland in Melbourne..cam biasek, mostly bout drug, sex and guns..not a bad series..up to episode 5 out of 20. Kat Borders ade jual...Much much better than Home and Away or Neighbours...

Movies: (*click link for trailer)

1. Mr Woodcock - Title pon dah bley buat gelak...wood cock? hahaha...Billy Bob and Sean Scott (American Pie)...cerite pasal pembalasan dendam terhadap guru pendidikan jasmani yg suke mendera pelajar..the most kelakar scene kat treadmill..rewind byk kali sampai berair mate...yup, typical hollywood movie but lawak tak exaggerate..but some characters penting hang camtu je and the end..nice watching time hati sedang riang ceria...

2. In Bruges - Lakonan kelakar Collin Farel...story about two assassins kat Bruges (Belgium)..cantik and chill place..English comedy movies yang kelakar lawak sempoi...but time ganas, brutal gak la, darah percik piaw piaw..english comedy mmg bes...nice watching time hati sedang tenang...

3. National Treasure 2 - Sape yg tak kenal cite ni kan...Nicolas Cage with sideburns(facial hair) agak huduh skit..sian die..bes gak kekadang layan puzzle movie camni but tak digalakkan tgk time tgh makan, nanti tak concentrate pastu lost..wondering wut is in page 47 in President Book..i was trying hard stop at that scene to read the contain but couldnt see anything..ppl was saying NT3 nanti bout dat page..maybe about Area 51 or 9/11...will' see...

4. Drillbit Taylor - Nate Hartley (Rush Hours) was hired by school kids as their bodyguard...mamat ni homeless but trying hard to be cool and macho...kelakar die not bad, kalakar stakat senyum dan sengih je aaa..tak gelak atau berair mata...tgk time dinner is recommended...

5. Chaos Theory - Pikir byk kali gak aa nak donlod cite ni bcuz main character, Ryan Reynolds (Just Friend - jgn tengok!!sampah!) ni exaggarate sket kalo blakon ..but blasah jeee aaa kan...story bout mamat ni buat decision on drawing randomly from the ideas (that is his theory) after knowing the daugther not from his...fuih nasib baik improving gak aa lakonan die in this movies..he's on filming on X-Men: Origins (2009)..jadi ape pon tatau aa..

6. Semi-Pro - Will Farell !! Yeehaa...kelakar tahap berair mate gak aa cite ni...bout competition semi-pro basketball team yang akan diserapkan ke dalam NBA! ahahha...watch it watch it!

7. Be Kind Rewind - Jack Black...about this VHS movie store yang sume VHS kene delete akibat kesan letrik pada badan si Jack Black...then he and other mates buat lakonan smule untuk replace movie tu semula...kelakar cipan, story line hebat...ending yang terharu...nice job!

8. Fast Track No Limit - Vrooom vrooom movie...kete kete n lumbe...agak low budget movie but story line is not bad...layan time nak tido or baru bgn tido ok kot...nape aku donlod this movie pon tak tau...maybe sbb scene kat europe...lawa...tak rugi tak tgk...

Cloncurry Show

2008-06-18T09:49:00.001+10:00

Weekend was ok, different from my other same thing weekend, almost 1000 ppl came from I dont know where flooding curry town, feel like in brisbane for once, hehe..Cloncurry show is kind a like EKKA Show, except there wasnt any pig around. show took place about 3 soccer field, not bad..so here are some of the actions (*click the image for bigger view):

Assisting Main Roads booth.
- Promoting Main Roads.
- Assisting regarding maps and directions.
- Hand out showbags and balloons with helium..and cylinder supplied by BOC!! teringat zaman keje ngan BOC dan rakan² riang ye ansar..maybe dat cylinder was made by us last time..
- Layan kanak- kanak colouring.

Camel Riding

- 7 bux per round, aku tak naik aaa...cam tourist aa plak..hehe . but quite popular..byk je satu famili tunggang tiga² ekor unta tu terus..nice..

Whipping Game
- not sure how the game works..but they just wack and wack until one of them kalah...they have to wear this dress sbb apparently derang libas badan dan kepala...kuat gak bunyi mende tu...camni bunyinye-->'kuuuwiiishhh!' kuat kan?

Showjumping Equestrian
- cool! first time tgk live..power gak sbb equestrian tu kene agak timing untuk kude tu lompat...aku tunggu je kude tu sangkut nak tgk camner kude tergolek but unfortunately sume lepas..ceit..

Fashion Show
- a bit different, 2 categories:

1. Kids = they go around the showground..pusing² with dressup yg comel comel and unique..some of them ride pony...tak sempat nak usha sbb aku kene jage booth dat time..

2. Adults = fashion show cam biasek...model² tak brape cun..each district sent their model/ representative...tak pasti district mane menang, yg pasti wakil Cloncurry gemuk...yang lawa² sume malu nak participate, maklum la gadis kampung...hehehe..

Camel Racing
Haha yang ni mmg kelakar..camel ni lari kaki huyung hayang cam nak tergolek...but laju gak aaa...jockey siap dress up hensem² cam horse racing je..very entertained..

Dave Russell Stunt
Action with the motocross bike..one of the actions as in the pic was jumping across the fake chopper with spinning blade, pastu kuar aa api² firework kecik nak kasik gempak..spectator kagum sambil bunyi 'woooooooooow!'...ok je aa takde aa gempak sgt, commentator berapi² cakap...but tak tengok mat rempit lagi, takble cari makan aaa kamu Dave..eheh..

Demolition Derby
Most awaited show..seven old cars smashed each others until they buggered and the remaining one declared the champ..one of them was police car with siren! hahah guess wut, they are the earliest one who got busted! bile lagi kan nak hentam kete polis...hehe

Firework!!
Kebom! Pam! Pam! Pam! Kediisshhh...10 minutes fireworks end up the Cloncurry Show 2008...teringat RiverFestival firework...very romantic...

Games and rides lebey kurang cam EKKA...aku tak main ape² dan tak naik ape², tak thrill pon (seram padahal)..I bought gula kapas satu bucket besar! mmg puas hati...hehee..teringat time EKKA dulu² I won a big dice bantal and a few teddies, bawak balik naik scooter!!kelakar jee nampak, struggle je matairku pegang mendalah tu..kenangan kisah silam..hehe.

More people...

Abis jeee weekend, Monday plak...adeeeih was busy busy busy...barely check my email, mostly on phone or other ppl desk, also the other site alarm system just died....nasib baik the end of yesterday got called by Dept of Health WA, selected for the interview for IT position tomorrow...the salary offer was greater than here...senyum aku kejap...hopefully ade mase nak prepare aaa as Pete will fly out today to Cairns for meeting for the rest of the week..Perth ooohh Perth...cam dah malas plak nak pindah² ni..Cloncurry is not dat bad except summer dia panasss azzaabbbbb....tgk aa camne...oraity, get back to work! ;0

Superbad news..

2008-06-12T15:16:00.001+10:00

Things getting worst from day to day..

No more MACKAY...juz got off from the phone with the person in Mackay. Biaseknye successful applicants akan call by employer while unsuccessful applicant will get acknowledge by letter. Tu yang awal² tu aku ingat dapat dah this job sbb derang call aku..skali die kate unsuccessful..perkkk terbayang lambaian aku pade laut² yg biru...but the good thing is they give me feedback details why I didnt get the job. I've scored 85%..gile thought I've done worst than that, ingatkan derang tak paham langsung ape aku cakap time interview..85 for me not bad..plus InfoSystem isnt my stuff...it just someone have done better than me. Fair enuff..
No more MASCA?????? waaaahh ni yg aku sedeh gilee...sori aaa Ansar dan rakan². Cant be there..confirm dah tak dapek..my supervisor (Pete) have tried his best..Manager tak kasik aku cuti masca bcuz Pete pon cuti on the same week..we have tried get other IT staff from other district, I thought ok laa kan...apparently, mamat tu punye license kene suspend! mangkokkkk punye budak!! as this job require traveling to site, so tade lesen takleh jalan aa keje...akuu gak kene stay..gile sedeh dan sadis..sori aa Aimi tak dapek nak entertain you while you in brissy..and our plan Mango, sematkan je laa dalam hati..I'll be stuck in here while you guys have fun in Brissy...damit...
New test for me...next week got to drive to Mt Isa office...doing cabling inspection..last couple of weeks, external cable guy did some renovation and he stuffed things up..everything in the site has screwed..ended up he got fired! and now they're sending me there to inspect the site! meeeeeee??!!!!!gileee hapee...never learn/experience with site cabling..perkkk i dont want to get fired weh..but I took the task anyway, guiding by Google, floor plan and details given to me..been studying/research myself...mati soon....

Tomorrow cuti...Cloncurry Show..I am volunteer myself utk jage Mainroads booth...get free shirt and ticket...long weekend again..dont know what is going to happen...will keep you guys posted..sedey..

Fun is over..

2008-06-10T16:18:00.000+10:00

2008-06-05T15:36:00.000+10:00

Yeehaa..penat sungguh minggu ni...makin menjadi²..2 tasks that been working this week finally siap jugak before aku cabot ke brisbane sat lagi...but another 3 tasks came, fuih nasib baik tak susah sgt, setel! Balik ke brisbane dengan senang hati...yg bestnyer aku takyah drive ke airport sbb aku tumpang org! the best part aku bley la pakai my sunny then tido the whole boring 1.5 hrs pretend listening to wut they will talking along the journey..then PSP is ready with Final Fantasy in it..layan the whole almost 3hrs flight nanti...all dah ready...but i have a feeling more major task (project) will be come to me next week...we'll see..till then, HELLOOO BRISSSBANE!!udara segar masuk masuk ke peparuku!!

H vs E...

2008-06-04T13:05:00.000+10:00

Hard life vs Easy life...why some ppl take a hard life when they can go for the easy one?resulting in the same thing... (H x E = SAME)..why i want to stay on this challenging job & life?

Job - why dont I just sit on the desk, do the easy thing everyday and get paid same as this job? i admit that i am struggling on this job, now i know why contract job is harder than permanent job..contract- employer expect you to know/learn everything by urself while permanent- they send you for the training and polish ur skills sampai gagah perkasa...i've found out there's only like 5% wut i learnt in uni that apply to this job..and that 5% actually bley blaja dgn senang dan free (ebook,internet)...ceit! this job byk giler roles...technical, problem solving, decision making, negotiating with client etc...one mistake would cause disaster combo plak tu confirm kene panggil idiot and hopeless..maybe i love challenge in my life...maybe...riddle hang there...no definite answer..
Life - why am i hunting dan gadai segalanya kepada si dia? sedangkan amat mudah if had someone with same background dari segala jenis, same language, same country, but of course not same sex laa kan...but the answer is simple...bcuz i love her..riddle solved for this part.

Anyway, interview yesterday was okay...byk gile pchychology questions rather than the job itself..kalo tanye bab technical mmg bes laa aku goreng but pchychology??urhhh merapu aku smalam! it was phone interview and mamat tu slang gileee tak bunyi english! cam jawe ade gak...from wut they xplain to me, that job is much much easier than what i do now..InfoSystem- sit down, jot SQL queries...pretty much everyday like dat...the result will be out next week...kalo dapat, cantek la, kalo tak dapat sengih je ar..we'll see...
-most hate part of the job..server problem-

Hmm..how do i chill myself out whenever i stressout/lonely/bosan? haaa this is the unique phenomena cant be seen in Brisbane or other city...they called it milky way galaxy...see the pic below amek from google image..the one in cloncurry not really obvious as in the pic...but cun gileeee...kalo ade keje kat sane nak je aku apply...duk kat galaxy and watch earth plak...ahaa cool...and time sunset plak can see actual satellite moving slowly..mlm² lepas dinner aku lepak kat luar pekene teh sambil layan milky way ni...nice..
-pekene teh tarik sambil layan galaxy-

Another unique is called morning glory cloud, but kene drive take about 7hrs to North Qld aa..been there but tak nampak sgt dat day...these cloud only can be seen in a few places in the world! very cool...

Left- suppose to look like. Right-taken by me

9 months 24days later....

2008-05-30T11:11:00.000+10:00

Mak aii....sembilan bulan dah aku kat Curry ni..last post was on 27 Aug 07! ahaha buy me quite awhile to publish this blog...nak kate busy tak pon...after tgk cam bes je Ansar dan rakan² lain ade blog...so i have finally decided to publish my C dan A blog ni...C = Cloncurry, and A = Azman...so Cloncurry dan Azman....hahahha... nway.. What had happened to me after almost 10 months here? :

1. Career = I finally synchronized with my boss (Peter) yg cool..a year older than me...but he's well established life, gf lawo..ade 4wd Nissan Patrol, ade dua bijik 42'' LCD Tv, ade ps3!!, tapi mamat ni suke kentut daaa...kuat plak tuh! hahaha..enuff bout him..so derang sambung again contract aku untill 27th July 08...they will advertise this job for permanent ..tu yg aku duk pikir..kalo aku dpt permanent here, they wont send me back Brisbane every month like they did before...dat means i will be stuck in here forever...i think i did well in this job...mmg awal² blank cuz byk mende tak tau...and how to win in negotiation with client...lebih² lagi bile deal with mat saleh with koboi pekat gile slang, kalah loghat makcik² kat machang kelantan...but Alhamdulillah...everything is fine...I am ready for more challenge..so, my plan:

1. get permanent job ni and stay here sampai bile²..sobsob..tak sanggup beb..
2. only will back to Brissy if got higher position (higher pay) susah gile nak saving kat bne...camne aa Ansar bley saving kat Brissy..sbb die accountant kot.kire duet je memanjang bley la kot...im stil waiting for the Senior IT position yg aku dpt interview haritu...call laa akuuu cepat...
3. Perth!! yeahh babeh my fav place..since AirAsia start fly KL-Perth, so senang aa sket aku nak lawat famili aku...dekat pon dekat..lawo pon lawo...i've been apply like 15 jobs already and now juz wait for their feedback...and apparently they pay more for IT job overthere..dubdubdub...
4. Kelantan tanah airku...tanak keje...revise myself..kuatkan iman...jage makbapak..agak2 dah pokai/ready nak keje then back to Aus...my mum is cool with it..she cool with everything..

2. Myself =

Emotional : aku rase kekadang tenang berseorangan...jauh dari segalanya..mmg sunyi i like it...get used to it since im not a loud person...maklum laa..budak kelantan...(aku admit laa aku ni kelantanis walaupon aku dibesarkan di JB)
Physical : kurus skit kot...dulu asyik melantak jee byk..skang since daging dan ayam halal limited bawak dari Brisbane, so masakan pon aku limit gak without starving myself..masak tuk stock seminggu terus...so heat n eat...and lucky ada gym next to my office..takde aa beso mane but ok laa..then aku joined team govt tuk canoe race and we won!!gile penat tak ingat sampai aku minum air sungai tu terus..team bola govt haritu played together with abu + denise dan ansar, thank yo! but no luck..tp team tak kalah pon, juz not qualified to 2nd round..very fun working with government.
Financial : no real saving lagi...what happened?bile duit dah tinggi² cam bukit, adeee je nak kene bayar for somthing..my Permanent Resident tu saje dah almost AUD5K..blanje adik bradik aku PSP sorang satu...blanje mak bapak aku fly ke cuti...aku senang hati bile aku dpt belikan/gunakan duit aku tuk derang (who say money cant buy happiness?)...then now, adik aku nak sgt² buat 10months pilot course kat Sydney..so i'll let mum pay for his fees and I'll pay for his life expanses and rent...ugh...baru teringat, have to start pay for my JPA loan back! byk gak tu..so where's ur saving sume man? sume kat situ larr...bilee aa nak kaye? ho ho ho..

3. Relationship =

Family : last Feb was the first time I've met my kakak ipar after almost 2yrs she & my bro get married..dah ade anak dah pon! teruk aku ni....I think i made my mum & dad proud of me..recently byk kali gak aku call derang dan they all byk luahkan perasaan kat aku (never happened before)..so aku rase pertalian anak bapak dah makin kukuh kot...skarang derang buat umrah..doa semua slamat for them...tu aa i am trying to be a better character and responsible in my family...get matured..
Friends : Walaupon jauh tapi dekat di hati...ehehe...try to spend my time as much as possible with them bile dpt balik brisbane on the weekend..Ansar, Abu + Denise, Mango, Anas dan student² la rakan yg entertain aku..while di Cloncurry, aku tiada rakan..stakat officemate ok laa..but aku bukan tanak buat kawan afterwork tp nak kawan ngan derang kene lepak pub & drink..malasss gile...so better off im being alone..nice...
Awek/kekasih/gf/gewe/matair : hanya kami saja yg tahu.... :)

Okie dockies...aku pon kat opis dah lapar nak lunch...biasek laa friday mane ade keje sgt...save it for the next week..boss aku harini off-site, aku laa bos kat opis ni...nanti² kalo rajin aku lawa²kan blog aku ni...ciow

Elop reader! Haha..my first blog ever...welcome..welcome to Cloncurry..thought this blog would've kill my time being held in this red desert alone..not really alone, there are still horses everywhere as one of major transports for buying groceries; wallabies, rabbits, dogs and as well as groups of lappet and hawk wondering in the air..funky huh!Well..enjoy ur time with me here!
