A happy day to begin...a sad day in finish...

What a day it has been....16 April 2009...

We had a charter inspection by Shell Corp. today and we did quite well if not excellent..All ended in high note except for some small hiccups...As the inspection has finish,it means now, I can proceed to my long awaited holiday with my family, for whom I've been away for the past 6 months..Miss my darling wife and my ever fast growing articulate son...Will be with them for a week before bringing them to Korea for two weeks...Hope it will be a fun,lovely trip...It's -3 deg C over there in Seoul..Hope could catch some snow though...

But then by early morning 16th,I received few text messages from my friends...A sad..really sad message...My friend..my ex-boss...my 'guru' in some matters...a well wisher of mine...a religious person himself...a dedicated father and husband to his family...a man whom I put ..with multiple side...Chief Engineer Ahmad Fizal Ani has passed away and lost in his battle against cancer which he has been fighting for the past 2 years...

My deepest thought and prayers for him and his family...

I am compiling a dedication for him and hope I can post it soon..Till then lay in peace my friend...

New Year and things following.....

Happy New Year and Merry Christmas to all out there...........

What a year it has been...and what kind of year is coming soon....God knows?..
So whatever the resolution we are going to take for this new year....it is going to take a new shape and dimension..All the economy...politic..religion and all kind of angles, are going to be affected....for bad or worse..maybe for some, who knows, a better turn around...

So, my this years resolution...

a) To go back home....(it has been nearly six months since i left home ,spending some good time with my wife and son..miss them..)

b) To take a nice vacation and get wasted...(lepaklah what else)

c) To quit one habit, that has been with me, for nearly 15 years....did not realize, it was that long..."Will try dear.."

d) To start finding some ways of making good income in homeland,working on own rather than working for someone else faraway from the family....

e) To bring my parents for a nice vacation...

f)To find a proper reliable maid for the family....

g) To get a professional body certification for my career projection...

h) To save more money............

The list will go on....Thus the only thing I'm going to do now is pray...n pray..n pray...
