The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

One of my favourite poem

Remember remember the 5th of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I have no reason why the gunpowder treason
shall ever be forgot.

I'm very happy to be in La Salle for it's surroundings and friends that I gather throughout the year. Everyone have been very accommodating towards me and helpful. Each and every teacher in SMK La Salle are different and expert in their fields. This is one job that I really enjoy working.

I will be better prepared for next year, and there's always room for improvement. I would also like to apologize to each and every one of you in La Salle if there's any mistakes that I did. I will be leaving to U.K this Saturday for two weeks(Apology again, this time to Saiful Anuar because I can't make it for your wedding,Congrats bro).

An Open Letter.

2009-10-18T20:38:00.000+08:00

To a special lady.

Throughout my short 23 years in this world, I've done things that I'm proud of and things that I'm not proud of. In the last 4 years, I've met a girl that is so special that it's every men dreams to have a girl with special qualities. I think it's appropriate to quote an excerpt from one of Akon's latest song "She's nothing like you seen before, nothing you can compare to your neighbourhood".

Early this year, I did things that I've regretted which was hurting her feelings. I won't explain on what I did but let the past be a lesson which I never be forget. I've now realised that what a wonderful, caring partner she is that I could never ask for more. She's perfect. You are perfect to my eyes my dear. I can never win her heart unless I win her trust. Trust is a big a word that comes with big responsibility. Thus, this relationship must be build on the foundation of solid trust.

I can't imagine living without hearing your voice, your laughter, your tears every day and every moment. I'm truly in debt to you for your love, compassion and understanding towards me. A special lady like you deserve a man that's worthy of being your companion for life. I'm not the most romantic person in the world neither am I the most understanding person but I can tell you that I'm in love with you. I can't remember all the things we did together, like what were you wearing on that particular date, what we ate, what I gave you for presents,that part my dear~I leave it to you. But I will always remember your smile when we did all that.

Apart from my family, nobody knows me better but you. I'm not looking for a Miss Universe, what I'm looking for is somebody who can good take care of me and understands me. You fit the bill my dear. Full stop.

You must be wondering why am I typing this letter. I typing this to tell you that how much I care and love you. I want you to feel safe and the reassurance that you want. One thing that bothers me, I just can't express enough just how much I LOVE YOU. Even if I say it a thousand times, it will mean the same. I JUST LOVE YOU SO MUCH!.

Looking back, I'm the luckiest guy in the world to have you. So many things we shared together and you are indeed special to me. I am Arif Fahmi Adnan and I send this message to NorSallyka Abu Bakar hoping you realise just how much you meant to me.

Love,

Arif Fahmi Adnan

p/s: you look wonderful tonight my dear, i love you

Statement from Arif Fahmi Adnan

2009-09-09T22:03:00.000+08:00

Assalamuailakum wbt and greetings all.

After months of speculations and stories about my personal life, I would like to clarify once and for all regarding all the news involving me and Ms. NorSallyka Abu Bakar. I want to put the record straight.

It's not a secret that a month ago that Sally and I broke off our 4 years relationship due to "irreconcilable differences". The break-up is true and both of us had a hard time coping with it. But God had other plans for us, and families were involved. I admit to have seen Sally's parents twice to discuss about our broken relationship. I didn't want to go to see them at first, but after much persuasion and the respect I have towards them, I went and see them to discuss and tell my part of the story.

The past will be remain history but not forgotten. In this Holy month of Ramadhan God opens our heart and after much deliberation, I can confirm that Sally and I are back together. Several conditions were agreed between us. I will not elaborate further about the conditions, but I can say one of the conditions that were agreed on we are allowed to go out with our friends regardless of their gender as long we know the limits.

Let's hope this new chapter will bring more beautiful moments and let's start this chapter on the same page and end it on the same bookmark.

The Way Forward.

Introduction
The English Remedial Tactical Plan is not created to replace the standardize syllabus set by the Education Ministry of Malaysia. It is established to complement in parallel with the syllabus.

The English Remedial program is a 2-year plan set for the form 1 and form 2 students of SMK La Salle Petaling Jaya. The existence of this program is to equip and reinforce students’ skills in reading and writing in English. Four classes will be involved in this program. One form two class and three form one classes. The classes are 2 Ungu, 1 Biru, 1 Indigo and 1 Ungu. The English teachers for each class will identify and assign the students for the program.

The class will be conducted by introducing activities such as crosswords, puzzle, mazes and role-playing to engage and stimulate the minds of the students. Students will be encouraged to speak up and ask questions in class.

In this program, the students can be divided into two categories. One are those who can read but having difficulties in writing and those who can’t read neither they can write. The approach that will be taken for these two groups will be different but they won’t feel outcast with the different methods taken. Every students will be treated the same.

It can be agreed that the students doesn’t have the motivation to succeed and lack of ambition. Hence, it is only appropriate to use Jose Mourinho’s Formula to Succeed. Jose Mourinho is well renowned football manager that have accomplished so many trophies with different teams. In his book, he wrote his formula of success and share it with each and every one of his players. His formula are :

MOTIVATION + AMBITION + TEAM + SPIRIT = SUCCESS.

The students in this program will be ask to write an essay about what are their motivation? What drives them? What are they going to be? What does team means to them? And incorporating the spirit of La Salle to achieve success.

Rational of using the term English Remedial (E.R) Class.
By now, we can use the acronym E.R class to associate with the program. The term E.R are widely use in hospitals which means Emergency Room. An Emergency Room is a big room where doctors treat patients with emergency cases with a sense of urgency.
In the context of this program, we the teachers are “treating” the students that cannot write or read in English with urgency. They have waste 6 years of primary school and a major surgery is needed to correct the students. As history stated, the word doctor derives from the Greek word that means to teach meaning a doctor is also a teacher and vice-versa. So, it is only appropriate to use the acronym E.R Class.

Evaluation
Apart from the examination, each student will be given a file. In that file, students will keep their work given by me and will be asses and evaluate every semester. Students that show significant improvement will be consulted with their respective English Class teacher on whether they should stay in the program or put back into their respective class.

Reflection
The E.R Class are designed in consonance with the principle of 1 Malaysia which our Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak strongly advocates. “Rakyat Didahulukan, Pencapaian Diutamakan”. In the context of school, the students and parents as our shareholders are our main priority and results must be shown in a period of time. We should also remember, being an educator in La Salle, the motto we carry with us all the time.
“Touch heart teach mind change life”

Welcome Notes for the E.R Class

2009-09-01T00:15:00.000+08:00

From here each class, each minute of your social life

must centre on the aim of being a CHAMPIONS.

Weak-students will not be a correct word. I need all of you. You need each other. We are a TEAM.

MOTIVATIAN + AMBITION + TEAM + SPIRIT = SUCCEES!.

Mulai sekarang setiap kelas, setiap minit dalam hidup kamu mesti bermatlamat untuk menjadi seorang JUARA. Pelajar lemah bukanlah perkataan yang sesuai bagi kamu. Saya perlukan kamu semua. Kamu perlukan semua. Kita adalah satu PASUKAN.

MOTIVASI + CITA-CITA + PASUKAN + SEMANGAT = KEJAYAAN!.

A New Hope

2009-08-31T23:49:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum wbt and greetings everyone.

Syukur Alhamdullilah, we have observed Ramadhan for the last 7 days and looking forward until 1 Syawal. While we had embracing this Holy Month, those working in the education sector particularly the Teachers had enjoyed a one week holiday. Tomorrow, we will start working again with a new hope.

I've been a teacher for the last 6 months, and I can openly say that I'm ENJOYING every moment of it. But looking back the last 6 months, I'm not satisfy with my performance as a teacher. My students are late to responds and showing not much improvement. Something had to be done and today I will announce the measures that are being taken to improve my students.

1. As of tomorrow (Tuesday,1/9/2009), the remove class of 2 Ungu, 1 Biru, 1 Indigo and I Ungu
will be known as The English Remedial Class or E.R Class for short. This "re-branding"
exercise is to give a sense of belonging to each and every one of the students.

2. A different approach will be used to the students by introducing more fun activities and
role-playing exercise.

3. 1 File System - Every students in the E.R class will be given a file where they have to keep
all the works given to them and will be evaluate based on their work plus examination.

4.To make every students feels special, each students will be assign a role in class. Example each
E.R class will have their own Monitor,Assistant Monitor, Treasurer, Hygiene Officer and other
roles that will be determine later.

5. Each students will be given a special welcome note by me. The copy of the notes will be made
available here later.

I will post the tactical plan later today for those who are interested to learn more about my methods and the directions that I'm planning for the E.R class. An Explanation on why the acronym E.R is choosen are also in the tactical plan.

Tomorrow, let's just see what happens on their return to school and hopefully my new approach will work.

Bismillah hir rah man nir rahim.
Mahasuci Tuhan yang Engkau bersifat dengan Baqa’ dan Qidam,Tuhan yang berkuasa mematikan sekalian yang bernyawa, Mahasuci Tuhan yang menjadikan mati dan hidup untuk menguji siapa yang baik dan siapa yang kecewa.
Mahasuci Tuhan yang menjadikan lubang kubur sebesar-besar pengajaran untuk menjadi iktibar kepada orang yang lalai, dan sebesar-besar amaran kepada orang yang masih hidup.
Ingatlah! Bahawa sekalian mahluk Allah akan jahanam dan
binasa,melainkan zat Allah Taala. Ialah Tuhan yang Mahabesar kuasa menghukum, manakala kita sekalian akan kembali menghadap hadirat Allah Taala.
Wahai SAYA Bin IBU SAYA, wahai SAYA Bin IBU SAYA, wahai SAYA Bin IBU SAYA, hendaklah kamu ingat akan janji-janji Allah yang mana kamu ada bawa bersama-sama dari dunia ini. Sekarang kamu telah menuju masuk ke negeri Akhirat. Kamu telah mengaku bahawa tiada Tuhan yang disembah dengan sebenar-benarnya melainkan Allah, dan bahawasanya Nabi Muhammad itu Pesuruh Allah.

Ingatlah wahai SAYA Bin IBU SAYA, apabila datang kepada kamu 2 orang malaikat yang serupa dengan kamu iaitu Mungkar dan Nakir, maka janganlah berasa gentar dan takut, janganlah kamu berdukacita dan risau serta janganlah kamu susah-hati dan terkejut.
Ketahuilah wahai SAYA Bin IBU SAYA, bahawasanya Mungkar dan Nakir itu hamba Allah Taala, sebagaimana kamu juga hamba Allah Taala. Apabila mereka menyuruh kamu duduk, mereka juga akan menyoal kamu. Mereka berkata:
Siapakah Tuhan kamu?
Siapakah Nabi kamu?
Apakah agama kamu?
Apakah kiblat kamu?
Siapakah saudara kamu?
Apakah pegangan iktikad kamu?
Dan apakah kalimah yang kamu bawa bersama-sama kamu?
Di masa itu hendaklah kamu menjawab soalan-soalan mereka dengan cermat dan sehabis-habis terang, tepat dan betul. Janganlah berasa gementar, janganlah cuak dan janganlah bergopoh-gapah, biarlah tenang dan berhati-hati.
Hendaklah kamu jawab begini:
Allah Taala Tuhanku,
Muhammad nabiku,
Islam agamaku,
kitab suci Al-Quran ikutanku,
Baitullah itu qiblatku, malahan solah lima waktu, puasa di bulan Ramadhan,mengeluarkan zakat dan mengerjakan haji diwajibkan ke atas aku. Semua orang Islam dan orang yang beriman adalah saudara aku,bahkan dari masa hidup hingga aku mati aku mengucap: “La ila ha illallah Muhammaddur rasulullah”.
Wahai SAYA Bin IBU SAYA tetapkanlah hatimu, inilah dia suatu dugaan yang paling besar. Ingatlah bahawa kamu sekarang sedang tinggal di dalam alam Barzakh, sehingga sampai satu masa kelak, kamu akan dibangunkan semula untuk berkumpul di Padang Mahsyar.
Insaflah wahai SAYA Bin IBU SAYA, bahawa senya mati ini
adalah benar, soalan malaikat Mungkar dan Nakir di dalam kubur ini adalah benar, bangun dari kubur kemudian kita dihidupkan semula adalah benar, berkumpul dan
berhimpun di Padang Mahsyar adalah benar, dihisab dan dikira segala amalan kamu adalah benar, minum di kolam air nabi adalah benar, ada syurga dan neraka adalah benar.
Bahawa senya hari Kiamat tetap akan adanya, begitu juga Tuhan yang maha berkuasa akan membangkitkan semula orang-orang yang di dalam kubur. Di akhirnya kami ucapkan selamat berpisah dan selamat tinggal kamu disisi Allah Taala.
Semoga Tuhan akan memberi sejahtera kepada kamu. Tuhan jua yang menetapkan hati kamu. Kami sekalian berdoa mudah mudahan Allah Taala menjinakkan hati
kamu yang liar, dan Allah menaruh belas kasihan kepada kamu yang berdagang seorang diri di dalam kubur ini. Mudah-mudahan Tuhan akan memberi keampunan dan memaafkan kesalahan kamu serta menerima segala amal
kebajikan kamu.
Ya Allah Ya Tuhan, kami merayu dan bermohon kepada Mu supaya tidak disiksa mayat ini dengan kemegahan penghulu kami Muhammad SAW. Subhana rabbika rabbil izati amma ya sifun wassallamu alalmursalinwalham
dulillahi rabbil alamin.
Setiap yang bernafas, Pasti akan Mati – “Kullu nafsin za
iqatul maut”
Firman Allah swt, “Demi masa, sesungguhnya manusia itu
benar-benar berada di dalam kerugian, kecuali orang-orang yang beriman dan beramal soleh, yang ingat-mengingati supaya mentaati kebenaran, dan yang ingat-mengingati dengan kesabaran.” Surah Al-A’sr .
Dari Abdullah bin ‘Amr R.A, Rasulullah S.A.W bersabda:
“Sampaikanlah pesanku walaupun satu ayat…”
Disebutkan didalam satu riwayat, bahawasanya apabila para
makhluk dibangkitkan dari kubur, mereka semuanya berdiri tegak di kubur “masing-masing selama 44 tahun UMUR AKHIRAT dalam keadaan TIDAK MAKAN” dan TIDAK MINUM, TIDAK DUDUK dan TIDAK BERCAKAP.
Bertanya orang kepada Rasulullah saw : “Bagaimana kita dapat mengenali ORANG-ORANG MUKMIN kelak di hari qiamat?”
Maka jawabnya Rasulullah saw “Umat dikenal kerana WAJAH mereka putih disebabkan oleh WUDHU’.”
Bila qiamat datang maka malaikat datang ke kubur orang mukmin sambil membersihkan debu di badan mereka KECUALI pada tempat sujud. Bekas SUJUD tidak dihilangkan. Maka memanggillah dari zat yang memanggil.
Bukanlah debu “itu dari debu kubur mereka, akan tetapi debu itu ialah debu KEIMANAN” mereka. Oleh itu tinggallah debu itu sehingga mereka melalui titian Siratul Mustaqim dan memasuki alam syurga, sehingga setiap orang melihat
para mukmin itu mengetahui bahawa mereka adalah pelayan Ku dan hamba-hamba Ku. Disebutkan oleh hadith Rasulullah saw bahawa sepuluh orang yang mayatnya TIDAK BUSUK dan TIDAK REPUT dan akan bangkit dalam tubuh asal
diwaktu mati
1. Para Nabi
2 Para Ahli Jihad
3. Para Alim Ulama
4. Para Syuhada
5. Para Penghafal Al Quran
6. Imam atau Pemimpin yang Adil
7. Tukang Azan
8 . Wanita yang mati kelahiran/beranak
9. Orang mati dibunuh atau dianiaya
10. Orang yang mati di siang hari atau di malam Jumaat jika
mereka itu dari kalangan orang yang beriman.
Didalam satu riwayat yang lain dari Jabir bin Abdullah ra
sabda Rasulullah saw:
Apabila datang hari qiamat dan orang orang yang berada di
dalam kubur dibangkitkan maka Allah swt memberi wahyu kepada Malaikat
Ridhwan:
” Wahai Ridhwan , sesungguhnya Aku telah mengeluarkan
hamba-hamba Ku berpuasa ( ahli puasa ) dari kubur mereka di dalam keadaan letih dan dahaga. Maka ambillah dan berikan mereka segala makanan yang digoreng dan buah buahan syurga.
“Maka Malaikat Ridhwan menyeru, wahai sekelian kawan-kawan dan semua anak-anak yang belum baligh, lalu mereka semua datang dengan membawa dulang dari nur dan berhimpun dekat Malaikat Ridhwan bersama dulang
yang penuh dengan buahan dan minuman yang lazat dari syurga dengan sangat banyak melebihi daun-daun kayu di bumi. Jika Malaikat Ridhwan berjumpa mukmin maka dia memberi makanan itu kepada mereka sambil mengucap sebagaimana yang difirman oleh Allah swt di dalam Surah Al-Haqqah bermaksud
“Makan dan minumlah dengan sedap disebabkan AMAL yang telah kamu kerjakan pada HARI yang telah LALU itu.”

Statement from Arif Fahmi Adnan.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t

As most of you heard for the past one month, the news about me and Sally have been more to the negative side. Neither me or her has denied the stories and today is the time to set the record straight. I would like to stress that this statement is purely based on my view and not a joint statement.

As of today, We can confirm that we have parted company by mutual consent based on "irreconcilable differences" . We met up last week in a undisclosed location to talk about our future and decided to remain friends and see how things will develop. God put us here for a reason and God has a plan for us. Being a Muslim, I believe in Qadak and Qadar and "redha" in facing this difficult times.

It's hard for both of us being separated after 4 years together. I still have feelings for her until today and hope she will come across this message knowing that she is being miss by someone who gave everything to her for the last 4 years. I know it is also hard for us to go back the way we used to be, but we never know what is in-store for us in the future. It's like having a television with hundreds of channels and you don't know what will you see until you come across the channel unless you have the t.v guide with you. But God didn't give us a t.v guide and kept it all to himself to know and for us to find out.

Friends are important but you should not let yourself being influence especially the one that has a history against me. A rotten tomato can be smell even before the box is open. Even with dressings in the salad, you are still called a rotten tomato. Choose your words wisely before you open your mouth dear friend. "Light travels faster than sound. Hence, people seem smarter even before they open their mouth.".

From today, a new chapter is being written and consider us as the pen and the world as our blank page. We will write our stories and continue to share the joy, sadness and every emotions that God has given us. We may be not write and read in the same page but we still share the one common thing, The Bookmark of life. We start and stop at the same page.

I am Arif Fahmi Adnan and I send this message so our past will be remembered. And in those memories, we live on.

Love and Always,
Arif Fahmi Adnan

ARIF THOUGHT ABOUT STAYING

2009-05-17T16:15:00.000+08:00

Interim teacher Arif Fahmi admits there have been occasions when he wished he was staying on at SMK La Salle PJ.

When asked if he had ever thought about staying during his successful spell at SMK, he replied: "I love working here but at the same time I know that it's not for me to decide". Leeds University has offered Arif a place to do his masters in International Relations but Arif is having second thought about the offer. "The offer is on the table, they are just waiting for me to sign on the dotted lines and are ready to welcome me this September but I love my current job and I have a task to finish. I loves the kids, especially in my pemulihan class or "The Special Task Unit" as I called them.
My application for the Kursus Perguruan Lepasan Ijazah(KPLI) has not been successful. KPLI is a one-year programme to equip future teachers and it will give the tittle as a full-time teacher not on a contractual basis. I felt really bump after learning my application was not accepted. "

For the time being, Arif will focus on preparing his students on the mid-term examination which starting this Monday. Arif is now teaching English to form 1 and form 2 students as well as Geography for form2. It is understood that Arif has been relieved from teaching English and is given Kemahiran Hidup. Arif will make a appeal to the Senior Assistant(Afternoon session) to let him stay with his English programme for The Special Task Unit.

Roller Coaster

2008-09-28T23:14:00.000+08:00

Life is like roller-coaster. You are excited at first, then you are scared when you see the first hill and cry when your going down. But at the end of the ride, you will have a smooth journey back and all smiles and laugh when you think back the whole journey.

I will be back on my feet at no time!.

Sorry, Thank You and Farewell

2008-09-27T12:50:00.000+08:00

As many of you have heard, Hilton Pj and I have parted company by mutual consent. The reason will shall be kept private. It is hard for to say goodbye to all of my friends there. Even though my stay was only for 5 months, but I've learnt a lot, gained valuable experience, made mistakes, and found a bunch of new friends from every department.
I think, I've already see it coming for the last few days. Saying goodbye to Jenny the day before, Always thinking what to write for my farewell letter, the signs are there but I didn't expect it to happen suddenly. At the time of writing this, my family members and girl friend still don't know about this news. I'm thinking very hard how to break it to them. Considering Raya is approaching very soon and seeing my mom enjoying baking cookies downstairs, I don't have the heart to tell them. Let them enjoy their Raya first. They will know surely after Raya.
The Sales team that I worked with is the best. Headed by Syahrizal Ismail, Director Of Sales, he's the one responsible for taking me into Hilton. Full of ideas and a good brother to me. I will never forget his good deeds. Rabinur Mokthar or as I called her Kak Ayu is the Senior Sales Manager. I admit I had difficult times adapting to her. But, she was hard on me because she cares for me. She told me that. She's so kind and before I go, she hugged me while crying and gave me duit raya which I reluctantly accepted. Kak Farina, Kak Ida, Kak Cynthia, Mr Daud San, Kak Fateha and Alicia are the Sales Managers. They always helped me and take good care of me. They are also full of characters that I will never forget. Kak Farina the Yummy Mummy, Kak Ida the Hippie Penang girl, Kak Cynthia the Hyperactive Bubbly Sister, Mr Daud the Ultraman,Kak Fateha Smiley Face and Alicia the Silent but sweet Tour Guide. To Mageswary Nagarajah or Kak Mages, who will quit Hilton next month, she's like a big sister to me. I will miss helping with her Top Key Club programme and sending the vouchers to concierge. Who would guess that I will leave before her?hehe. As a promised to her, I will stay keep in touch with my Kak Magges. Your Thamby. The Sales Secretary is Alice or "mommy" as I called her. She's the first to cry after learning the news and she was with me all the way. She helped me and protect me like a real mother. She gave me good advice about life and I'll never forget all her kind words. A kind words from a kind lady~priceless.
Being choosen as the Groom for the Underwater Wedding is something I never forget. My face was all over the newspaper and even though it got me into trouble with my GF because of the picture I carrying the Bride in the water, I will always remember this. Some of you might asked, why most of the Hilton team members called me The Shower Man?It started when Petronas came to Hilton to check our hotel for their clients. My boss, Syah had the idea to put me in the bath tub and when the Petronas delegates come into the room's bathtub, I will greet them in there and in the shower, hence The Shower Man was born.
I've heard some are some are sad because I didn't gave them a proper goodbye. It's not something that I've plan. But I will return to sort out few things and that time I'll make sure to give them a proper goodbye.
To all the trainees that I've worked with~Ah Lok, Ahmed, Nikki, Nan, Dino, Yan, Hnin, Steph, Iqbal, Shendy, Jared, Aris, Rossi and his GF,and Nurul, Thank you so much for your support and all of them are now my friends. Everytime I'm with them, I'll have a very good time and never a dull moment. We will be in our own world. Nurul just finished her training last Friday and I would like to wish her best of luck in the future and I'm sure and agree with Syah that she will be a great asset for her future company that she will work with. All the best my sis! =p
Saying farewell is really tough, and I don't how to finish this. We all need to be strong and I believe God has bigger plans for me and I've already picked up myself to be a stronger person.God put me there for a reason and the reason I believe is to learn from my mistakes. I'll be still keep in touch with all my friends in Hilton and may our path cross each other in the future.

Checking out From Hilton Petaling Jaya,
Arif Fahmi Adnan

Arif's Farewell Letter

2008-09-27T12:44:00.000+08:00

Dear all Team Members,

It is with heavy heart that I leave this good company. Throughout my stay here, I've gained a lot of experience and the most important, I've gained a lot of new friends. The Sales Department, Human Resource, Accounts, Front Office, Housekeeping, Engineering, Kitchen, Security will be truly miss bu me but never forgotten. I would also like to mentioned to all the Trainees that I work with and became friends.

I would like to apologize for any mistakes and wrong doing that I did throughout my stay here. I had many great memories here: Got Married underwater, Became the showerman and so many other that too many to mentioned.

So before I leave, let me just share one of my favorite motivation song with you because I can't sing in real life. =p

My Way –Frank Sinatra

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
Ill state my case, of which Im certain.

Ive lived a life thats full.
Ive traveled each and evry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

Keep in touch,

Arif Fahmi Adnan

a.k.a The Shower Man

note: This is the letter that Arif sent to all of his former team members via email.

Perutusan Khas Tan Sri Arif Fahmi

2008-08-31T00:17:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum wbt dan Salam Sejahtera.

Saudara dan saudari sekalian,

Tepat jam 12.00 tengah malam tadi negara tercinta kita sudah menjangkui usia 51 tahun. Sejak negara kita merdeka pada 31.8.1957, sudah banyak kemajuan yang negara kita dianugerahkan oleh Tuhan. Tapi, dalam kemajuan yang kita dapat ini harus juga kita ingat tentang kesusahan yang perlu di harungi untuk mengecapi kesenangan sekarang.
Bagi kita semua, merdeka ada ertinya sendiri. Tidak kira apa penterjermahan merdeka bagi kita, yang penting kita selalu ingat apa yang berlaku sebelum 31.8.1957. Tatkala bunyi mercun kedengaran, saya ingin mengundur diri dan mengucapkan Selamat Menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan ke-51 dan saya juga ingin mengambil kesempatan ini untuk mengucapkan Selamat Menyambut Bulan Ramadan yang mula pada Isnin ini.

Appreciation Letter

2008-08-30T22:42:00.000+08:00

(L-R)Nurul,Yan,Nikki and Nan

Me, Yan and Dino

Today, I would like to extend my appreciation to 5 individuals that makes my work in Hilton more memorable. There are Erdiyan, Aizuddin (Dino), Nurul, Sue Ann and Nantharat Ratnarat or more easier known as Nan. These 5 exemplary individuals are Trainees at Hilton that has ended their practical training except Nurul. They are no ordinary trainees, they are my close associates and also my brothers and sisters. It is sad for me to see for me one by one to go. But I will never forget them and I believe we will cross each other in the future.
Erdiyan or Yan is an Indonesian trainee from Bandung that I know from another trainee, Ahmed. I first met him after lunch at the relaxing lounge. We chatted like we know each other for years. By the end of our conversion, he already asked to borrow my Ayat-ayat Cinta DVD. When he joined Room Sales, we became closer and he became my "Masjid Buddy" for Friday prayers. He's a funny guy and sometimes can be crazy(see what you girls taught him?). He's very well known in the hotel and even some guests knows him. He went back to Bandung yesterday and will be surely miss but never forgotten.
Dino is my partner in crime in Hilton. We always did crazy stuff together in the Hotel especially during lunch. We will team up and kacau2 the rest. Sometime we will get in trouble but worth it. He's a very nice guy and belanja me twice at Lotus. He didn't get to say goodbye properly because he left the Hotel rushly. But I still sees him around because his college is just across the road.
Nurul was my junior during High School. I didn't know that until she mentioned that to me. That's why I looked so familiar to her(hehe). She's a very smart n friendly lady and sometimes I learn from her. She's like a sister to me and I wished her a very good future ahead of her.
Sue Ann or more affectionately known as Nikki is a Sunway College student that has a very "colourful" personality. She's very positive about life and taught me the secrets of life and how to own a Bugatti one day. She really colours my life in Hilton.
Nan is a Thai lady that is always in her own world. Nobody knows what and how exactly her brains work. She's Nikki best friends and very fun to hang out with. Always talks about how good her tomyam is and we are still waiting for her to cook for us. She drives a Honda Civic 2.0 which is very nice but she will be nervous when driving. A fast driver but nobody can beat nurul's driving. Even though Nurul drives a kelisa, she drives it like it's a ferrari. U Go Girl Minah Drift,hehe.
I hope the future trainees that will come to Sales will be good as them if not better. I can't say enough about them but if i have to choose one word to describe them all i will choose - CRAZY!

NorSallyka Bt Abu Bakar

2008-08-25T22:02:00.000+08:00

An Open Statement From Tan Sri Arif Fahmi.

It's time for the special day again. Every 25th of August, Norsallyka Bt Abu Bakar my special one will turn one year older. Today she turns 21. A number that is not just a number but symbolize freedom and maturity. I believe she's more mature and more independent than before. Can be stubborn at some times but caring most of the time.

She's a very special girl and I'm very thankful that I know her for the last three years. A special girl like her deserve the best. Honestly speaking, I don't think I gave enough to her. At times, I say to myself that I've fail to make her happy and she deserved better than me. I always can't be there for her. But, I know she has a lot of friends that are caring and takes good care of here. Knowing that, As long she is happy I'm happy.

As I'm typing this, she is in Genting with her friends. I know she's having a blast there and I would like to thank her friends for making her birthday special today. Something that I can't match.

Finally, to my cyg, I would like to wish u a Happy 21st Birthday and may your wish come true. Hope to see you soon and we can celebrate together. I REALLY REALLY LOVE U MY DEAR.

Strong As Always and Faithfully yours,
Arif Fahmi Adnan

Arif Fahmi's Press Statement

2008-08-22T21:29:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum wbt and good day.

I, Arif Fahmi Adnan would like to say thank you to everyone for being here today.(camera flashing and clicking). I think all of you are aware why am I doing this press conference and today I can confirm that I'm staying here at Hilton Petaling Jaya and see this as an opportunity for me to grow and develop myself. I believe God put me here for a reason. I admit it was hard for me at the beginning, but as any movie goes, it will be a good ending.

I would also like to make myself clear that what was told in the media was not true. The decision by Cafe Suria for not serving anymore chicken wings was not the reason I want to leave. That should be kept private and it's not important anymore because I'm staying and just signed a 3-year deal with Hilton PJ. I'm bless to have alot of friends around me in Hilton PJ, especially the five trainees that I can rely on any day. Dino,Yan,Nan, Nikki and Nurul, these for five trainees are the most craziest people you will ever meet. It's sad that they will leave soon but never forgotten. To me, they are not trainees but true friends. Being a big brother to them makes me realize that I can bully more trainees after this.

I save the best for last. Without NorSallyka Bt Abu Bakar I would not stay here. She's the main reason I'm staying and always giving me support whenever I needed. I looking foward for the future and kumpul duit untuk kahwin.(all laugh!) =p

Statement On Arif Fahmi's Future.

2008-08-22T21:14:00.000+08:00

After much speculation, Hilton Petaling Jayas' Sales Department can confirmed that Arif Fahmi Adnan will not leave and has signed an contract extension of 3 years worth RM350,000.

Arif joined Hilton PJ on the 5th of May 2008 and had a difficult start to his career. Speculation began to start that Arif might quit the team after knowing that the Staff's Cafe doesn't serve anymore chicken wings. That led to many Government agencies trying to get his signature and at one point Arif hinted about quitting to closed associates. His main factor of staying in Hilton was after The Director Of Sales intervene and had a closed door meeting. Having 4 great assistants and closed friends were also one of the factor.

Arif will held a press conference at 9.40 pm Malaysia time and no further comments will be made now. We wish him good luck and are delighted to have him on board.

Aduhai....

Time for an update. Now that I'm working, I can't update my blog every day. But I'm trying to update it at least once a week.

I'm starting to love my job. At first, I was very lost and don't know what to do. Now in my second week, I'm more familiarise with my job and the hotel. Hilton Pj is a good place to work in. The people are very nice and everyone is like a family. Whenever we see each other, we will smile even if we don't know who there are. There's a lot of department in Hilton Pj and I'm already making friends from the front office, kitchen, house keeping and the restaurants department. I just completed my 3 day orientation and from that 3 days, I made alot of new friends. Now I can see myself staying at Hilton more than 3 years.

This week, I started with a bad note. First is of coz seeing Chelsea lose the race for the title to Manyoo. But, we can still hope for the Champions League. I hope that Roman will replace avram with someone with charisma and the ability to build a winning team. My first choice is coz the special one Jose Mourinho, but that will unlikely to happen. So my next choice is Frank Rijkard who will be out of job this summer. He can bring attacking football that Roman wants to Chelsea. And he have won the Champions league and the Primera Liga with Barca. My third choice is Guus Hiddink. He's a master tactician and a born winner. Let's just see what happens next ok?

Finally, before I end this week post, I would like to say that I don't like liars. Liars are self-fish and you can't "jaga hati" other people when you are lying. So please, don't lie~just tell the truth and let see what happens next.

Arif the worker

2008-05-06T21:06:00.000+08:00

Ok, I've already started working for 2 days now and I haven't done much. In this few weeks, I will be trained by my seniors. I'm only one of two guys that work in the department. Working around alot of ladies can be intimidating, I call all of them kakaks, and they call me adik~haiyooo~huhuhu.

Working in Hilton is quite fun too. There's alot of benefits. Such as free food in the staff cafeteria(and you can go down eat as many times you want!), a lounge for the staff to rilex, watch movies and surf the internet. The best is if you want to stay at any hilton hotel in the world just pay $25, or in the UK just pay 16pound~niceeee~.

For two days, I've been helping out the kakaks2 and get myself familiarize with the hotel. Today, I met a long lost friend from srk seafield. I vaguely remember him, but he still remembers my face and when he said few other names in srk seafield, I know he's not talking to the wrong guy. He work at hilton in the front office department. I can't remember his name also,huhu!neither to he~he called me Joe, =p~but at least he remembers my face. Who doesn't anyway?With my goodlooks~everyone can remember~hahahaha

Chelsea won yesterday against the Magpies, and with one game to go~I hope luck will be on our side and win the league and the Champions League. After the season finish~my weekends will not be the same~no Chelsea on weekends~boring ooo~huhuhu! Ok laa~sleepy laa~tomorrow got to go to work early~chow chin chow!

From Usj to Kuching

2008-05-03T23:13:00.000+08:00

I've just came back from Kuching, Sarawak and I loved it so much!. When I first knew that we are going to Sarawak, the first few things that came out of my mind was cats, Orang Asli, and my best friend Edmand. But, oh~boy~when I arrived, there's alot going on, and I was Impressed.

Soon after we landed at the airport, we took two taxis and went straight to Holiday Inn where we stay there for 3 days. Before I make this post like a darjah 5 punya karangan, I will tell the places that I visited.

Among the places are the Cultural Village, Cat Museum, Sarawak Museum and Satok Market. The Cultural Village was an interested place to go, each visitors will be issued with their own passports and we have to stamp it at every house we visited in the village. I already remind myself to behave myself there and not gila-gila. Some respect must be given there because it's their culture and beliefs. So, no crazy-posing pictures for me. The houses that are shown there are represent by the many races in Sarawak such as the Iban house, Penan, and many others. My favourite, which I can't remember it's name was the tall house and very majestic. The house was also where there's a local playing a traditional instrument that looks like a guitar. The local taught me how to play it and it's hard compare to the guitar. I also learn how to sumpit (jaga ko edmand pasni) and saw a cultural show that was very entertaining.

Lunchtime, and the tour guide brought us to a nearby seafood restaurant beside the seaside. The food was nice and I love it. Oh ya! the day earlier, we also have seafood for dinner at a rooftop restaurant. I believe I gain 3kg because of this two restaurants. =p

Next stop was the Cat Museum, I imagine the cat museum is big and alots of stuff about cats. The building is beautiful, but the building is not solely for the Cat Museum, it houses the Dewan Bandaraya Kuching office, In fact it is the Dewan bandaraya building, the Cat Museum is only a small one floor exhibition just next to the entrance. And the entrance is free. There aren't many too look at because there aren't many collections. There's also a Hello Kitty section that you can also see and buy at any supermarkets. I brought out my Chelsea Fc muffler and posed with it in the museum.

Then, there's the Sarawak Museum, nothing interesting, so move on~hahaha, Pasar Satok is just like other market place but this market sells alot of ikan Terubok. Okie dokie, malas laa plak nak citer panjang-panjang~getting sleepy and still tired~chow!

ARIF FAHMI'S OFFICIAL STATEMENT

2008-05-03T22:55:00.000+08:00

In the true spirits of friendship, I Arif Fahmi Adnan would like to apologize to those who felt uncomfortable with my previous post. It was done for the main purpose of defending myself and was not about personal attack. I strongly condemned such behaviour and will never result in any immoral tactics. Finally, I hope that such incidents won't happen again and happy blogging.

Life's No Fairytale...really?

2008-04-30T21:27:00.000+08:00

Let me get set the record straight. Since I've posted "An Open Letter From the Heart, Mind and Soul" , I have been receiving harsh and unfair treatment from certain individuals. It's not that I can't accept people criticize me, please~by all means~criticize. It's your duty to criticize because you are trying to defend your compatriot.

Second, the reason I've started blogging is because it gives me a platform to say what I want to say and when I want to say it. It's nothing to do with other peoples' life and it's according on how I see the world. It is between me and my inner-self. In other words, I speak to myself while blogging. My intention was never to hurt other peoples' feeling or to provoke other peoples' reaction. Even though the open letter was written in a provocative way, my intention was sincere and didn't expect people will react to it. I don't mind there's nobody interested in reading my blog, but what I have to say, I will say it. This is My space.

Third, I know how important space means to everyone. There's a saying that goes " 3 people makes a crowd". So, know where not to step the line and mind the gap like they say it in the UK. I also know that memories are important and it never across my mind to "spoil" it. Go ahead and keep making history to store in your memories. Friends are forever, and I'm very luck to have a lots of friends surrounding me. We laugh, tease each other and think back our past just like everyone.

I'm not starting a war here. I consider you as my friend and by saying that, I mean it. I'm not trying to control anybody's life and knowing that the sun is still shinning and the days are still young, do as you wish~nobody will stop you. I've taken my stand on this, and I don't care or don't mind in whatever you do as long it is acceptable according to our norms. I understand everybody needs and I'm not self-fish to think about myself. There's more than meet the eyes. ( pinjam kata-kata Optimus Prime).

It's unfair for people to say and judge me without looking at the bigger picture. Therefore, I decided to defend myself against something that I feel unfair. I'm not a big sulk, and I don't like to create a bigger situation. I'm not blaming anyone and I won't drop any names here. I take full responsibility and accept my actions. Maybe after this people will see me in a different way, and I don't know in a good or bad way. But I'm ready for any consequences and always prepare to defend myself.

I know that you are a problem solver and always the person when someone's in need of anything. It's not your fault , you have your own space to voice out your voice and with that freedom you can say anything you want. and yes, having fun is not a crime. I'm not an anti-social or a snob, I too have my fair share of fun with my friends and the important thing as long we are responsible, that's good.

Life's no fairytale, but we can dream about our own tales and make it happen in real life. It's my life, and it will always be a teka-teki for me.

Your Friend,

Arif Fahmi Adnan

*I'll be leaving for Kuching, Sarawak early tomorrow morning, be back on Saturday and lets hope Chelsea wins tomorrow before I go to Sarawak. C'MON YOU THE CHELS!

Open Letter from my heart, mind and soul

2008-04-28T12:52:00.000+08:00

Dear World,

Apa tujuan seorang pelajar memasuki universiti?
Belajar? Mencari kawan sejati atau mahu merasakan kebebasan tanpa pengawasan orang tua?
Apa yang diutamakan oleh mereka sekarang ini?
Orang kata time di Universiti laa waktu untuk merasa semua ini, iaitu keluar bersama rakan-rakan sampai ke malam, sebab nanti sudah keluar Universiti dan berumah tangga tak rasa semua ni.
Kalau kadang-kadang takper juga tapi bagaimana kalau keluar hampir setiap malam?
Adakah mereka sudah lupa PRIORITY sebab apa mereka berada di sana?
Adakah asrama atau rumah sewa itu hanya tempat untuk berehat selepas penat keluar bersama rakan-rakan?
Apakah duit pinjaman yang mereka dapat itu bertujuan untuk dihabiskan bersama rakan-rakan?
Jangan lupa yang duit pinjaman itu adalah untuk digunakan untuk hal-hal akademik bukan di Shopping Complex!.
Ataupun mereka yang dibiayai ibubapa, tahu laa itu duit mak bapak korang, tapi untuk apa ibu bapa mereka bayar yuran tapi belajar tak bagus?

Hendak keluar mesti laa boleh, tapi jangan sampai menganggu pelajaran sehingga gred and pointer korang jatuh.
Waktu dah dekat finals pon mahu keluar lagi?
Bila dapat results tak bagus, baru mahu menyesal tak sudah,
Baru akan cakap "aku patut belajar betul-betul, tak patut aku keluar selalu and next sem nak buat betul2"
Bila dapat results tak bagus, baru malu and takut nak bagitau ibubapa
Takut mereka akan hampa dengan results korang.
Bagaimana perasaan dorang kalau tahu korang menghabiskan masa keluar saja?
Masa dah diberikan sepanjang semester untuk belajar, jangan time baru nak finals baru bertungkus lumus belajar sampai tak tido malam.
That's not the way, and masuk university ni is not to prepare yourself for exams.
You study to gain a better future and exams are just an assestment. It's not about getting all A's but the knowledge.

Don't repeat the same mistakes..
After every finals, don't you realize that your not going nowhere??
It's not about you are not smart or stupid.
In this world, God create all humans with the same brain.
We are all equal, it's about what we put inside our brain.
There's no such thing as Clever people or Stupid People..
There's only people who understands what they learn and people who do not understands.
What makes Einstein or Socrates so famous?
It is because both of have an indepth understanding about their subjects.
Bill Gates is a school dropout but why he is so successfull?
Because he understands about computers and that makes him one of the richest people in the world.

Set goals in your life,
See want you want to be in the next 5 or 10years,
That's one of the reason you are not performing well in your studies because you don't know what you want to do in your life.
Where do you go after completing your diploma or degree?
You go to university for 3-4 years and end up working in an area that doesn't match with your qualification.

If you don't help yourself, no one will
There will be friends and family around you, but at the end of the day the supports will only be words and it's up to you make the change.
Later, in the future you will see your friends more successfull than you.
They went to same University with you, sat in the same class, have the same lecturers and took the same exams but in the end, they are climbing the corporate ladder while you sit at the front desk accepting visitors.

Remember your love ones who are always be there for you,
Don't let them down, this is not about giving you pressure but for you to reflect and realize that you can be what you want to be.
We already sent a man to space and it's not possible for you to reach for your dreams.
Want to own a hotel?want to be the next tony fernandez? Want to be a C.E.O? a teacher?
YES YOU CAN! YES YES YES!
Just realize your own potential and start making neccessary changes in your life but not drastic changes.
Most importantly don't forget God.

Life as adolescense is fun, you will have the time of your life.
But life is short, so make use of it.
You don't know when The All Mighty might call you back.
So, what do you want to be remembered as?

As you grow older and start to have your own family
I don't want you to regret the decision you made in life.
You can't rewind your life,
So now you are in "play" mode, act and think wisely. Always think about the consequences and also about others.
I don't want your life looks like a bad movie.

I write this letter with an open mind and to remind myself and also everyone that I care so much. It's not about looking down at someone. I'm myself are like you, I'm not perfect and nobody does. I know I won't be here forever and before I'm gone, I want to reach my goals and share it with people that I love. Especially my Family. To my friends, hope some of you will read this and realize your own potential and after reading this hope you guys won't take this personal. There's another side of Arif Fahmi that you don't know and here I'm showing it. I'm not always gila-gila and not taking life seriously you know? I know where's the ground and I will always remind to keep my feet there.

and remember:
"MOTIVATION+AMBITION+WORKHARD = SUCCESS!"
INSYAALLAH,

YOUR FRIEND,
ARIF FAHMI B. ADNAN

Masih belum terlambat....

2008-04-28T12:21:00.000+08:00

Ok, apa pasal aku letak tajuk tuh plak kan? sebabnya? biar aku ceritakan. Masih belum terlambat bagi Chelsea untuk jadi champions season ni!.hehe!. Sabtu lepas aku batalkan semua appoitment semata-mata nak tengok Chelsea lawan Manyoo. Even patut aku balik kampung kat penang tp aku taknak pergi gak, Walaupun umah tok and tokwan aku dah ada Astro, tapi aku tuh malam nak keluar makan kat kampung tuh aku taknak balik. Aku nak dok umah tengok Chelsea. Aku betul-betul sokong Chelsea ni bukan tahap fanatik tapi kalau kat Italy digelar Ultra. So aku ni Ultra-Chelsea. Dalam sehari kalau tak cakap pasal Chelsea mesti tak sah. And (cyg tolong jgn jeles) aku lebih banyak fikir pasal Chelsea dari gf aku,huhuhu!. So berbalik pada match tuh, terus-terang aku katakan aku rasa 50% peluang untuk Chelsea menang.

Match tuh memang best. Dari Awal sampai abes attack jer~kecut perut aku tengok. Sama-sama lawan macam berebut membeli-belah di Giant ketika harga murah. Oh!aku tengok match tuh dengan ayah aku (xsokong chelsea pon), Then bila nak dekat half-time, tetiber...BANG BANG BOOM!!! FUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~YEAAAAHHHHHHHHH~!!aku jerit kegembiraan apabila melihat tandukan Ballack masuk goal!!!Cross dari Drogba cantik~aku dah happy giler time tuh~fuhhh~lega~. Second half plak, tengah sedap-sedap tengok, then rooney score!aduhai~nasib jer tuh sebab Carvalho tersalah passing. Takper-takper, kata aku dalam hati sambil mengigit bantal. Pastuh ada incident Drogba and Ballack berebut freekick~apa laaa dorang ni~pasal tuh pon nak gado. Drogba betul-betul tak puas hati walaupun dah amik freekick tuh. And aku rela tengok dia kluar Chelsea next season.

Masa dah nak dekat habis, aku pon dah redha dapat seri jer. Then aku terlompat dari seat aku bila dapat tahu Chelsea dapat penalti. PENALTY PENALTY PENALTY!!! jerit aku kat ayah~aku tak sanggup tengok Ballack amik penalti tuh, so aku cover muka aku dengan baju. Pastuh~yang aku tau~GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!C'MON CHELS!! jerit aku~gembira tak kemain aku tgk goal tuh!!and aku tau Chelsea dah menang match tuh!Syukur Alhamdullilah~fuhhhh~mcm tuh laa citernya and dengan dua match lagi aku tau masih belum terlambat untuk Chelsea jadi Champs and Champions league pon boleh. C'MON YOU THE CHELS!

Yesterday was my 22nd birthday and what a day!!. I received my first present a day earlier, which was as some of you who might know, I got the PJ Hilton job as a sales coordinator - rooms division. Today I went shopping for clothes at Midvalley to prepare myself for work.

Next, I got a shirt from my special one and I love it. All I can say is my girl got high taste~hehehe. Because it was my birthday, she belanja me lunch at Wendy's (next to McD in Sunway pyramid) I had a chicken burger and she ate the quater pounder. Very nice. After lunch, I saw three very familiar looking person. It was none other my brother, sister and my cousin. They must be stalking my every step,huhu. At 3.20, we went to see movie called Congkak. I kept my eyes closed for the entire movie~hahaha!don't like horror movie, I'm more into comedy and action movies.

At night, I went for dinner at Kelana Seafood with my family. My uncle was there too, he gave me a shirt for me to go to work. My parents gave me a gold medal bearing the word "son". Very nice!. I wrapped up my birthday with a quick reply to all of those who had wish me and went to sleep. Ohhh!! Chelsea 1-1 draw with liverfool is also a gift for my birthday. And I'm very hopeful that Chelsea can win in the 2nd leg and move on into the finals.

C'MON YOU BLUES!

2008-04-22T16:17:00.000+08:00

Syukur alhamdullilah! tuh jer aku mampu cakap. Pada pukul 12.43 tgh hari tadi, aku dapat satu panggilan dari nombor yang tidak dikenali. Suaranya aku cam, the first word yg dia kata ialah " Mr.Arif?"..haa aku dah tau siapa, Mr.Syahrizal from Hilton. Hati aku berdup-dap dup-dap, ini mesti pasal aku dapat kerja ker tak. Selepas dia kata "Congrats" hati aku dah lega sebab dah dapat kerja sebagai Sales Coordinator - rooms. Kerja apa ni?mesti korang tertanya-tanya, sebenarnya aku pon tak tau sangat, tapi apa yang aku tau, contoh: time F1 baru-baru ni, team-team f1 tuh mesti kena ada tempat untuk tidur kan?so manager aku akan convince salah satu team ni untuk stay kat hilton and kerja aku ialah sedia kan surat pasal berapa harga satu mlm n pakej-pakej lain. Selain tuh kerja aku buat surat. Tak kisah la surat apology letter apa-apa jer. Aku akan report for duty on the 5th of May. Wish me luck k? One small step for me.

Awal pagi nanti Liverfool vs Chelsea. Aku dah malas nak lawan liverfool ni, bukan sebab Chelsea dah kalah 2 kali sebelum ni, tapi liverfool punya taktik boring sangat mesti defend jer~tuh aku boring tuh. Apa-apa pon Chelsea mesti menang pagi ni, so Edmand ko memang takyah tengok, buang masa tengok team ko kalah.HAHAHA

Chapter 8

2008-04-21T21:39:00.000+08:00

It's getting closer! the premiership race that is~huhu! Chelsea are still in it and I'm really2 confident that we can win the premiership and also the Champions league. Next week, Chelsea will meet Manyoo and I can see clearly that we will beat manyoo!! and for liverfools we can also beat them. C'mon you the CHELS!

I have a new favourite show. It's called "I'm on Setanta Sports" on youtube. Just search "Jose Setanta" and you can see the special one host its own show with sven and rooney. Trust me, it's really2 funny!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc5lhChg9m8

Click that link, it's my favourite episode.

Nothing much happened for the past few days, so not much to say here. My birthday is coming soon and that will be exciting~huhu. Also i'll be going back to my kampung in Jerantut this thursday and to kepala batas this weekend. For you who don't know where jerantut is, it is in Pahang and a gateway to Taman Negara. My favourite place in jerantut is of coz my late grandparents home in kampung melayu jerantut. It's on top of a hill overlooking bandar jerantut. Very majestic and many memories in that home. Now that both of my grandparents have passed away, is sad to see the state of the house. Bring me tears.

Also worth mentioning, behind my grandparents home, there's another hill and on top of the hill, there's an abadoned castle which were originally built for the late Sultanah of Pahang. But for unknown reason, the castle were abadoned and haven't completed since. Sources says the reason is because there's "something" up there or in malay, tempat tuh memang keras. Many people have experienced something when going up there including me. Expose mistik patut pergi sana laa~hehe.

Kepala Batas is in Penang and also the constituency of our PM Pak lah. My Tokwan and Tok are still there and I love to see them. My Tokwan and Tok are very comel and caring. What I like about going to Kepala Batas is my cousin CHON. Whenever i'm in Kepala Batas, he will bring me jalan-jalan. My favourite place is a char kuew teow stall in Permatang Pauh. Betul-betul sodap gua cakap luu oooo~huhuhu!!Oh before i forget, in Jerantut, there's a stall selling pisang goreng. It's no ordinary pisang goreng, the pisang goreng is fried twice and memang sodap~and forget about asking the recipe coz the makcik will not tell you. The stall is just in front of the old masjid in jerantut.

Ok, all this talking about food makes me hungry, catch up later!!hehe

2008-04-14T10:34:00.000+08:00

Ok, sekarang aku dah mula risau. Still no answer from Hilton Pj. Aku betul-betul nak kerja tuh. Aku akan tunggu sampai hujung bulan ni then kalau still no answer baru aku mula cari kerja lain.(kalau ada kerja2 kosong tuh bgtau aku k?hehe).
Sekarang ni aku dah boleh online sambil baring-baring, duduk kat bawah, sambil-sambil minum teh kat luar rumah atau di jamban sambil "mendownload" apa-apa yang patut,hehehe. Semuanya sebab dah pasang wi-fi(terima kasih kepada rakan makanku Amir Razlan, dia ni kalau nak ajak makan, on jer. Jom Subway lagi mir~ahhaha). Dia yang tolong pasangkan and sambil-sambil pasang tuh kiteorg tertanya macam mana wi-fi ni berfungsi??kagum betul kiteorg dengan siapa yang cipta technology wi-fi ni. Kiteorang ingat kalau tutup pintu bilik wi-fi takleh jalan kalau nak online kat tempat lain, tapi boleh~hebat~lepas ni technology apa laa plak timbul??
Pagi esok Chelsea lawan, x sabar aku nak tengok and harap-harap Chelsea menang sebab aku tau season ni mesti Chelsea jd CHAMPS!!

2008-04-09T13:11:00.000+08:00

CHELSEA 2-0!liverfool 4-2 arsengal! Jumpa lagi Liverfool ni kat semi~macam takder team lain dah. Tapi takper~this team mesti Chelsea plak yang menang, sebab Champions League tuh memang Chelsea punya( dengar tuh edmand??hehe). Gumbira sungguh hatiku melihat Chelsea bermain pagi tadi~total football from Chelsea!!yeehhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa!! Dengan kemenangan Chelsea, aku mengumumkan semua yang baca blog ini akan mendapat tingkap plasma 62 inci untuk bilik anda kerana aku bermurah hati. Sila ambil hadiah di cawangan-cawangan seng hup yang berhampiran.

So kepada rakan-rakanku di UNITAR goodluck dalam finals and time convo insyaAllah kita jumpa. Aku boleh bayangkan member aku Suparman atau nama manjanya Man tgh sibuk buat notes kecik dan print past year questions dan buat study group dgn fasrul, mas, ikin, aida and hamdan(abg dan). Kepada member-member lain (mengikut turutan list dalam handphone) Adha, Adi, Akbar( aku rindu sama lu dong!), Asyraf, Avinesh, Azween, Bun, Chris, Claire, Faiz, Farrah, Gee, Gouri, Ieyda(kecoh arr lu~haha), Juli, Kak Yan, Izu, Kimi (my bro!), Ros(rakan sekampung), Mus( bisness partnerku), Nartine ( my sis!hehe), Navin( arsenal kalah laa ane~also part of my kookoo geng), Nithiya(bila nak bawak naik your green viva?), Prasana, Punitha, Brader Jess!(baca notes bro), Sarah, Tamil, Wawa, Raja Iskandar (presiden MPM and kroni aku), and Anuar(jgn lupa futsall ajak aku) bersama gf nya.

Chapter 5

2008-04-07T11:49:00.000+08:00

Pagi ini aku bangun dengan perasaan yang sungguh gumbira dan bersemangat. Sebabnya? Manchester Utd 2-2 Boro!!. Dengan keputusan seri, ini bermakna CHELSEA 2 point di belakang selepas menang 2-0 dgn Man City. Manyoo must still face Blackburn, CHELSEA and Arsengal. So, aku still berharap yang season ni, CHELSEA dapat balik trophy BPL tuh! Kepada penyokong2 Manyoo: Jess, Iskandar, Azmir, Kak Haneem, Dura( sekadar beberapa nama) jangan laa nangis bila tengok CHELSEA jadi champion k?buruk orang tua nangis~haha!

Aku dah baca suratkhabar hari ini. Paklah menunjukan taringnya!!grrrrrrrr~rasa dia dah lama sabar, baru semalam dia melawan balik. Tun Dr. M, Ku Li, Anwar semua kena balik dengan Paklah. Satu-persatu dia counter balik. Bagus laa kalau macam tuh, kena laa garang sikit baru laa cemerlang gemilang dan terbilang!huhu! Tapi bagi aku, orang politik ni semua sama jer~tak kira parti mana pon sama jer~depan cakap lain, blakang buat lain~takder satu party politik dalam dunia ni yang bersih. Up to us pilih yang mana. Bagi aku, aku setia kepada Parti CHELSEA ku! Bekas Lecturer aku Mr. Salleh pernah cakap "di neraka ramai orang politik", tapi sebelum aku mencetuskan apa-apa kontrovosi, Lecturer aku tuh gurau jer~haha!

10 dan 11 hb ni Angkasawan negara akan ke UNITAR KELANA JAYA. Aku rasa banyak kelas cancel nanti sebab nak dengar Dr. S bercakap. Geng-geng aku yang still ada kat sana mesti dah pakat nak ponteng ni~haha!So kepada member-member aku yang membaca ini tunggu jer laa kehadiran aku, sebab aku lah angkasawan tuh, pakai suit angkasawan siap dengan helmet mana orang kenal~tapi ni aku dah bagi tau awal2~so jangan laa hampa kalau minta autograf tapi dapat sign nama "ARIF", aku dah bagi warning awal-awal,haha!Lagipon aku percaya rupa aku dgn Dr. S tak jauh beza~(dengan penuh confident). =p

Okay laa dah lunch time, sebelum aku stop utk post ini, ada sedikit pembetulan mengenai post yg kedua itu, Tan Sri Taib Mahmud ialah bukan Naib Presiden UMNO, beliau adalah Ketua Menteri Sarawak. Sepatutnya yang di tulis ialah Datuk Seri Ali Rustam, harap maklum.

Sampai berjumpa lagi di rancangan Lu Pikir la Sendiriiiiiii~~!!(pinjam ayat Nabil lagi)

Chapter 4

2008-04-06T14:23:00.000+08:00

Posting yang ke-4, tapi still takder komen. Apa kess??member aku kata dia tak leh komen~tapi walaupun takder komen, semangat ku masih belum luntur bagaikan kotoran degil di baju. Blog ku harus diteruskan. Oleh itu, mari tuan-tuan puan-puan kumpul ramai2 dan baca blog ini.
Semalam hari Sabtu dah menjadi kebiasaan untuk tonton tv di waktu malam. Aku ni bukan minat sangat Akademi Fantasia( dulu2 jer,hehe) ni, lagi pon season ni dah boring dah~aku lebih rela tengok mencari menantu atau barney bersama anak buah kesayanganku Yana. Tapi semalam ada match Chelsea. So aku tengok laa AF kejap sebelum tengok bola pukul 10. Tema AF minggu ni ialah rock kapak. Tapi tak laa sekapak mana, ada laa dua tiga peserta yg berjaya menunjukan kekapakan mereka.

Baru post satu, nak buat lagi satu~ntah ada orang baca ker x ni~tapi xper~aku hanya nak tulis apa yang mahu tulis. Time sekolah dulu aku memang suka buat karangan tuh yg rajin menulis~menulis surat cinta pon rajin gak,haha!. Okie dokie aku mulakan posting baru ni~pilihanraya dah lepas tapi sampai sekarang mana-mana aku pergi mesti orang cakap pasal politik. Pilihanraya baru-baru ni ialah kali pertama aku mengundi. Seronok gak pangkah2 ni, aku pangkah yang x berkenaan. So kalau aku sokong calon parti A, aku pangkah calon Parti B. Macam tuh cara mengundi?. Untuk maklumat aku ni bukan lah penyokong mana-mana political party~yang biru x~yang hijau pon x~aku ni di kategorikan sebagai "pemerhati politik" atau pengundi hantu~eh silap! pengundi atas pagar. Aku baca and tonton berita dari mainstream media and aku baca gak dari alternative media. Kita kena laa baca dua-dua baru seronok. Dari berita Paklah, Patrick Badawi dan masjid kristalnya~anak2 and menantu Paklah sampai laa ke Nurul Izzah sumer aku baca. At the end of the day baru laa aku buat penilaian utk terima mana betul mana salah. Aku x mudah terpengaruh~walaupun dulu aku percaya yg ultraman dan raksasa2 betul wujud tapi sekarang xmudah aku terima berita. Orang politik biasa laa cakap~semua mahu correct correct correct, nak jaga parti~mana betul mana salah~lu fikir laa sendiri( bak kata bang bil raja lawak).
Hari ini punya berita pasal siapa akan jadi the next top Youth Umno leader?? Dr. K? MM? KJ??sekarang kem masing-masing tengah sibuk melobi~siapa yang jadi pon aku xkisah~kan aku ni pemerhati politik jer~huhu! Lain laa kalau Chelsea~siapa yg ganti Avram Grant baru aku amik peduli. Kemana pula hala tujuan Dato Seri Hishamudin?(cewahhh ayat~pergh!)..naib presiden atau timbalan presiden? Naib presiden ada 3, skang ni Tan Sri Muhiyiddin, Tan Sri Taib Mahmud n satu lagi kosong yg sebelum ni Tan Sri Isa Samad pegang. Mungkin Menteri Pelajaran itu akan bertanding jawatan ini. Kalau Timbalan presiden??haa~memang front page utusan ni!tunggu n lihat jer laa~okay laa cukup laa politik wat masa ni~bebiler kang kita sambung lagi sambil minum teh~mai secawan~!

Assalamualaikum Wbt

Ok!ni 1st blog aku..actually sebelum ni dah pernah buat blog kat friendster tuh~tapi tuh main-main jer, aku pon jaraaaaaaaang update blog tuh. So, aku decided (meminjam kata2 dari satu parti politik di Malaysia ini) utk reinvent atau merekayasakan blog aku ni. Lagipon sejak dua menjak selepas pilihanraya ni asyik dgr pasal blog jer~bekas MB Selangor pon dah start blogging sejak bersara awal jadi aku pon nak laa join skaki. Aku pon ngan bekas MB tuh ada persamaan gak~apa??bukan~~aku bukan jawa~apa??bukan gak~aku xmakan tempe utk melicinkan kulit~kiterorg sama-sama tengah takder kerja skang ni. Aku baru graduate dari Unitar,skang tengah sibuk cari kerja. Aku kini bagaikan anak dara yang menunggu pinangan orang. Banyak gak resume aku antar, tapi xdapat2 gak~sudah risau aku dibuatnya. Apa kurangnya aku ni?mungkin aku tersalah letak gambar resume, kurang hensem kot gambar tuh~xper2~nanti aku letak gambar angkasawan negara comfirm beribu nak aku kerja dengan dorang~ntah2 mak orang pon ada nak offer aku kawin ngan anak dia kalau letak gambar tuh, mana tau~eden toraiii jer laa( bak kata nabil raja lawak). Bulan 7 ni team favorite aku CHELSEA nak datang Malaysia. Ni kali ke2 dorang nak dtg sini~xsabar aku tgk dorang~last time dorang datang tahun 2003 pon aku pergi gak. Pergi bersama sahabat sejati ku Edmand. Kiteorg pergi naik LRT Star, maklumlah time tuh masing2 xder lesen sah kelas D. Balik kiteorg kejar train~tapi dah kol 12tgh malam train mana jalan dah~so kiteorg tggu tgh2 KL cari taxi~nasib baik ada taxi nak bawak~dgn sorang lagi uncle,kitorg tumpang skali. Kena caj mahal plak tuh!biasa laa taxi malaysia~hadoii~ok arr rasa sampai sini dulu laa 1st blog ni~harap2 ada yg baca blog aku ni, and sesiapa yang baca sila laa komen2 ye??jumpa lagi!!!
