Billionaires' Charity Pledge

so here's d scoop, would u give half of whut u have to charity? well apparently a few billionaires will... this Billionaires Charity Pledge is dedicated to wealthy men contributing to society by donating 50% of their funds to charity.. Warren Buffet, a renowned billionaire, said that he'll give away 99% of whut he have, and even with the remaining 1%, he's able to live comfortably.. "More than 99% of my wealth will go to philanthropy during my lifetime or at death. Measured by dollars, this commitment is large. In a comparative sense, though, many individuals give more to others every day." read his full pledge here --> http://givingpledge.org/#warren_buffett

so whut i admire about this guy (my dad's reading his book i think), is dat even though he's giving away almost everything, he's still such a humble guy n think that whut he does here, ain't that much.. "Moreover, this pledge does not leave me contributing the most precious asset, which is time..Gifts of this kind often prove far more valuable than money."

n how how so true is dat.. i've always imagine myself being filthy rich n all (well who doesn't right), n always think to myself that, with all that money, i can do good.. i can provide my family a better home, give a few to my relatives n whut not.. but truely, whut i should have been doing, is actually giving whut i currently have n not whut i might.. start small aight.. i mean, by right, if u honestly wanna help out, u should be giving whut u cherish most.. and deep down, i'm sure it's not money dat i cherish most.. it should be my time n energy (which i may not realise)...

so that's why we Muslim have Raya Korban =b yes tibe2 je topic sesat hahaha but bottom line, u can make a change with whutever u have, cuz even if u feel like u have nothing, always noe that all human are equal when it comes to time.. we all have only 24 hours a day..

World Peace =b

slacking

Omg it’s such a boring day…. Finished our training after 3 days, n 2day, I’m not really sure what to do.. It’s so freaking bored n I don’t feel like doing anything, except go back to sleep or maybe have a nice meal… arghh my weight keeps increasing.. or shall I say, my fats are gaining by d seconds.. It’s 11am already and as at dis morning, I’ve only attended a knowledge sharing session, which frankly was a huge bore, then I manage to do a crappy job at compiling the tasks that CRM needs to do in order for us to continue configuring the limit for testing.. n now I’m just slacking around here pretending to do something important hahaha (hani tgh join meeting ni)

Damn I have to move by end of this day n sit next to suzy… nnooooo the horror *yikes* why can’t she get a bigger cubicle like the rest of the ppl with the same level.. den I can sit with the rest with whom I’ll be doing more of my work with n where it’ll be less awkward.. of course it would be too obvious if I were to suggest that.. I guess I’ll just have to endure it all…

So jue came over the past week for her vacation.. managed to met up with her last Wednesday n have dinner together… frankly, I was tired d whole day but felt dat I might as well make the effort to at least see her, cuz basically we dun see each other dat much.. n d distance could merely be an excuse cuz even if she lives here, I dun think we’d be seeing much of us dat often anyway.. I mean, she has been living here before n we still do hang out about twice a year.. same goes with shikin… she stays just 30 mins drive from where I’m at.. n now dat she’s working, we’re more or less occupied with something else.. she did ym me maybe about a month ago saying dat she was craving Ikeas’ meatball so I asked her if she wanted to go cuz I’ve been wanting to go there for weeks… but den she said its too far.. *roll-eyes* how could a 30 mins drive be far? It’s not like we’re 200km ways apart…

Having frens are tiresome.. had more fun hanging out with my sister’s frens (szu mei, era, alyn, Carmen n ruzana) d night before.. went to Carlos @ Pavvy, which was a Mexican restaurant but I had lamb chop instead.. not really dat adventurous.. n food was good.. huge portion n was worth the 32bucks I paid.. which reminds me, need to pay sis back *note to self* …stayed till almost 11pm den szu mei sent us back… had fun looking for her car in the car park.. hate parking @ pavvy.. planned to buy jco doughnuts but totally forgot about it later hahaha Speaking of which.. I’m craving for it now!! Feel like I could eat half a dozen by myself..3 glazed, 2 berry strawberry n 1 with chocolate… yummy…..

Please drool =b

BooYahh

November 18 & 19: after Aidil Adha so dat i'll have 5 days off!! woot!!

hahaha so i guess if i forget whut days i took, i could just check here =b izad will finish her practical n her presentations n all by end of november i think... so i hope those days off i took in december will coincides with her breaks.. but then again if not, i still have about 7 days of leave left to be decide later...

Jue's here but can't join her vacation as we have MLS n KGR training next week n i have to settle all documents today... projects going on well though... starting to let go of BAUs work ie COB n dv ctpy report... not sure how my level of knowledge is doing tho... still seems like i noe less than i should.. but i guess dat's better then thinking i already noe all there is to noe, n avoid being ignorant.. it's just dat after 7months+ working here, i'm sumtimes still not sure whut i'm suppose to noe...

stop talking about work... bleughh well it's nearly fasting month... can't wait for Raya!! hahaha wanna watch Inception n Sorcerer's Apprentice n maybe even Despicable Me (how do i spell dat?)...

I Miss College!!

I miss having 8 hours a week classes, which means more fun time (even tho I'm just slacking), I miss studying for exams n having that little part of me dat enjoys studying.. But most of all, I miss my frens there.. Sure I'm not those ppl who have tons and tons of frens but I do get along well with those I dat I got 2 noe along the way, esp Nam Yen who I've known since we studied our foundations in KDU.. I think he was d only 1 who took all d same subject with me at dat time.. We took economics!! N how ironic is it dat whut I'm doing now have more or less sumthing to do with that.... Rite?? Hahaha

So last Friday, I took off from work a bit earlier den usual cuz we had a small gathering in OU.. Thought of going to Chillis but it was full so we switched to Italiannese.. Reached there around 8:30pm after going thru hell finding a parking space.. Good to hear from Simon again, who just got back from Kelantan.. Good 2 noe dat he finally graduated despite only getting BP, n now he's screwing future KDU students!! Hahah I miss hearing all his bullshit, dat actually made my time there more worthwhile.. Still d same guy.. I also miss sharing songs with Nam Yen.. We used to chat almost everyday on MSN n swap new music.. I remember introducing him to Justin Bieber!! Hahaha n he gave me Gaga's Eh Eh when Pokerface was the hit.. Now I dun use MSN anymore, n I barely go on9 FB, so only swap short msgs once in a while..

Pang n his girl are planning to continue their studies in the UK.. Can't recall which university they chose, but I remember how we were talking about how dodgy our Australian degree was hahah it's hard to explain our grades without the cgpa n honest cls.. Nam Yen n Cat r also planning to continue their studies, so good for them.. as for me.. i guess i'll carry on with whut i do until it is too much then i might be open to other options... but in the meantime, i just miss that part of my life so much...

Fuck off u racist

We Could Always Plan

Hopefully, I’d be able to save about 10k by d end of this year so then next year, I could buy a car.. Yeay!! Well, of course I was aiming for an accord n obviously I can’t afford it, so I might buy sumthing from perodua or proton.. U noe, cheaper cars.. My dad said he could fork in about 20k, so a car under 50k should do it.. I’ll give it some thought 1st but most probably I just might.. Will have 2 ask around about a car loan n if there’s any special rate for MBs’ staff..

Currently in Ampang, attending a cls dat my mum enjoy forcing us to attend.. Sleepy…. *yawns* hmm Brazil n Ghana lost.. Bummer for Ghana, was rooting for them.. Argentina n Germany tonight!! Rooting for Germany..

Can’t wait for my long break =D

draft, draft, draft yet again

laziness is invading me yet again... another draft (in my head), a serious note so not really the time to dwell on it...got unifi at home n we've been downloading movies as if our lives depends on it.. 1 selling point of it was dat downloading movies would be faster, n they weren't kidding.. 1hr for a movie, well that's a new record in this household.. so yeah, if the police decided to raid the place, i'm not quite sure whether we will ever get out of jail...

arghh busy at work? sorta.. i hate my job.. need to get a new one prompto.. sleepy sleepy... football season but haven't really watched those 2:30am matches... might wanna consider tonight as Spain will be meeting Portugal... so Go Spain!! thought of taking my block leave from 7th till 13th.. semis n finals baby!! woot!! Argentina or Brazil?? Messi or Kaka??

MRM dinner was fun... we performed, we ate, we had a blast.. Glow in the Dark was awesome (for a rookie) n the guys (aka Sam) killed it.. he was hillarious bahahah fun night indeed.. food was great, tho should've eaten more... no pix will be posted here (was there ever?).. if u're lucky, might find some at my tumblr... (need a blogspot app for bb asap)

still can't figure out how to do this report.. mayb cuz there's no redemption, but it's hard to tell.. just learnt it yesterday n with no practise, i'm not sure if it's right.. might just leave it as it is n pick it up back tomorrow..

Movie night with my sisters n my mum... papa won't be joining us as usual (i think he's alergic to d cinema) hahaha kidding.. Toy Story 3 tonight!!! woot!! i think i'm gonna cry..

i miss u Ducky, wherever u r....

Quickie

busy with work... think about giving 1 year max here then might take off... not really sumthing i wanna do for a living...

gtg now... hope to c u soon... toodles..

Wishfull Thinking

i left a note on my bed, the only way of explaining my intentions.. i'll never have the guts to say it to their face, so a written note would do.. after making sure that my bags were packed, i took a last look at my bedroom, for i noe that the next time i lay eyes on it, would be for a long time.. the cab was waiting outside, so i hurriedly went down n locked the door.. as i hopped on tha cab, i thought to myself, how things would change from now on.. i've made a drastic decision for once in my life that i noe will have a huge impact on several ppl especially my family.. on the way to the airport, i thought back on how i've come to make this decision.. it doesn't seem like me at all, but whut i do for a living doesn't quite satisfy me the way i hope my life would be.. i go on and on for days and weeks without really thinking much about whut i do.. so when news broke about the attack, and seeing ppl forwarding msgs or changing their profile pics at fb, i thought, that ain't gonna do nothing for them.. condemning actions are easy, i can say things, but to walk the talk is tough.. suddenly, i felt the urge to do sumthing productive.. something that i noe would make me happy by helping others.. only God noes how much i've been thinking about it but i always contemplate that without money, the only thing i could offer is energy and i havn't really done much about it.. of course i've thought about it a lot, but now i felt like it's time.. it's time to do something worthwhile.. and so i signed up for this organisation as an activist, went thruogh their training, n finally chosen to help out..



i arrived at the airport about an hour later and met up with a few frens i made along the way.. we board the plane and from then on, i knew there was no turning back.. we've come for a mission and i won't be coming back until my job here is done.. it was gonna be a long flight and even though i tried to rest my eyes, my mind wouldn't stop thinking about the possibilities..



back home, my family came back to an empty house.. eventually, my note will be read n i can imagine how their reactions will be.. but by then, i'll already be halfway to my destination.. i'm sorry for any disappointement or pain i caused, i never meant to be selfish..
