Kids today

My youngest brother had just finished his studies from one of local Uni. And now he stay with us while hunting for the real jobs. For the time being, he do teaching with one of local tuition center here nearly Putrajaya. Just ok he said, gain initial experience and get some extra money pocket to fuel for his daily spending.

And what makes me shock or even excited to hear his story is, about the real nature of behavior of kids nowadays. Guess what, according to his story, what i was realized is that, we live in a very2 different scene if we compare it in 90's and 00's.

Kid nowadays is really2 smart, my brother told me. But the term smarts is not in the meaning of doing some novel, kind of brilliant things. Its towards on the things that the kids supposedly being prohibited in doing that. Or I love to use a term of 'man matter thought being a man yet'. Or kid behave or converse like an adult while they are still 9 or 10 years old. And mind you, its happen even they attend a KAFA class. My brother taught there.

I don't know. The generosity of kids nowadays was misleading. Kid should be taught to be generous towards the right things. If they attend for a class then they should behave nicely and study hard. My brother had told a story of one kid that I thinks he is really2 a good kid. A kind of person. When his friend had jerk with some obscene (lucah) word, that kid spontaneously yield on loud-speakers;

'Ustaz, dia cakap tetek mak saya besar!'

It then come as a big hilarious to my brother. As I am also had a big laugh since I hear that story. But indeed, I realize that kids and major of them did not accept an approrpiate lesson when they are at home. At least I think, parents nowadays are too generous and big heart. They do not dare to give their kids a lesson (i mean a really2 serious lesson) while their at home thus their kids do not feel any guilt to converse or behave unnecessarily.

Its poor scene we can easily observe in our life today. Even some of kids really2 dependent on the money. They trade even a biscuit with a penny. "Mintak biskut sikit. Aku bayar kau singgit". Really big different when we were in the old days, friends eager to share anythings and our parent teach us appropriately. Our parent are too kedekut to lend us money so that we understand the money is too valuable. And if we had done bad things, rotan is the answer.

Again I don't know. The system is became too complex. The world is too open. Back into 90's we had only 4 to 5 TV channels and now we may have hundred of them.

And my borther had told me at the end of the conversation.

'Kalau kau hantar anak kau kat sekolah Cina atau omputih, aku rasa anak kau lagi jadi orang dari kau hantar anak kau masuk KAFA atau sekolah rendah biasa'

Too far to realize that thing anyway. But let see.

Investment

And now, I am going to be 29 years old. Not yet but it will come. So, what next?. Empty mind right now. Had several plan in previous to upgrade my live. Of course in all angle. But need to think about it very seriously. Plus to consider much-much things. With economy downturn in every where, to change a job will be very-very risky. Thank god I have enroll for Master degree 2 years ago. At least I have graduated since 2004. 5 years experience and graduated with master is considered ok even it not so worthy. You must have professional cert if you want to survive in this industry. 3 years without it is quite wasting. Never mind, you can have it anytime as long as you are in this area and of course, you have money.

But, have master degree does not guarantee you to secure a good job indeed. Most big companies is looking for expertise and specialization that you have. And tied with it is an evidence. Or recognize with somethings. That's will come with so called certification. fin !.

Investment?. Yeah, it one was in my mind. Have to do many research on it...Discover an opportunities as much as I can...But right now.............my mind still empty...'sigh'

Public transport

I rumbling myself, sometimes in front of my wife every time we went out to KL. or JB. or even Seremban. It's because of our public transport system. I, can be categorized as criticize-obsess type of people. Especially for the things most people is regularly used. Toilet for example. Or bus stops. Or bus station. Or urban road system. Almost everything.

For me, to measure the country's corruption index is by observing their public transport system. It's tail-to-toe concept. Or we can call it a domino theory. Or like a dog chasing a tail. It's crawling. Like a chaining system. How can I elaborate this ?. hmm

Ok, let see this stupid assuption. Corruption politicians need money. Of course corruption big time is about money. To makes money running into their own pockets, they have to create projects. To create project, they have to launch a project. Easy project to make big money is, by developing a road. Or a modern call - highway. Highway from A to B. Give it named 'people projects'. Or 'wawasan project'. Or 'my foot project'. Call a press conferences instead. And open the tender. Then call for friends or peers to be a contractor. Or at least submit their application for tender. Name it open tender if you prefer but your peers still on top of lists. Declare the project with an initial investment of 2bil so on so forth. After it finished, build a TOL. And charge the people. And again, named it as 'for maintenance purposes'. So, money comes from 2 ways. Commision or fees. And TOL. Is it make sense. If not, then ask Samy. Ha ha

Again, launch the other highway. From B to C. Open the tender. Declare the initial costs. Call press conference. Label it again in the name of people. Put your preferred one on top of lists. Call Indon's to build. Than setup the TOL.

Then, launch highway C to D..bla..bla..bla..

The most corruption country is the country that have most highways in the city. People notice the highways instead of the garden.

Then what's more.

Again, honor your friends with AP. Ha ha. Encourage them to sell a car. Rubbish car is more preffered. Cherry ?. Amoi ?. Bewok ?. Atoi ?..Potong ?..Ha ha ha I know potong is made by us at Kg Tualang Baru Mahjong Perak...Charge 300% tariff. And bank, that also the politicians-proxy are the most for their major stakeholders will open the policy. Allow loaner to loan their money for 99 years. If possible then 100 years. Peoples have to go everywhere. They need transport instead of their own leg. No choice ?. Then apply for loan and get Cherry..ha ha..Not afford to buy Scoda ?. Because you're not so hard work.

So at the end, our road system is messy. Dirty and chaos. Where is the train ?. or bus ?. articulated bus (dreamed it buddy)?

Build a transport system is costly. So expensive. I dont have figures but I think if you build a track between Damansara and Cheras, you can save billions of ringgit for the next 10 years to just to build confused-huge-ugly even land eater of highways. And moreover, peoples can reach a home earlier through the right place of stop station. If you can build a track from Sg Besi to Cyberjaya, peoples along the Sri Kembangan, Puchong, Kinrara, Bkt Jalil or even Serdang, Cheras also get in touch, instead of long and hugh highway KL-Putrajaya with only 4 main doors. Even the highway is build across of your roof at Bkt Jalil or Kinrara, you could not even reach them to go to Putrajaya instead of to take a risk to find the way out. I nearly get accident just tyring to reach the highway at Bkt Jalil. What are so pathetic.

Highway is not a problem indeed. But if we could connect all public system with a proper places, we actually don't need a car by the way. And its cheap too.

Today, if you went to KL by car and stuck regularly in traffic jam after the Sg Besi highways, it still cheaper and saver then the train you took by from Serdang.

Public transport is cheap. That's why it's been built by most civilized country. And if it's still cheap, don't dream it will get strengthen here. Our politicians doesn't like the term of cheap anyway. And public transport mostly is for Indons. And it's too doesn't going to fulfill their pockets faster.

So, happy driving..

Briliant lazy

Sometimes ago, during my very2 early tenure in this company, I just make a promise to myself..set indeed in my heart..sometimes I can call it a principle too..to become a person that doesn't know or never know what 'lazy' is all about. I am malay and Lazy is must (ha ha ha). That's why Dr Mahathir is Mamak (ha ha ha). But, I'm serious. 'Am damn hardwork. Not because of this startup so-called principle. Not because I just got a very new job. Naturally, I was a hardworking person. And I believe, that's so for many Malays out there.

Moreover, I'm joining the company that one of their mission is, selling the new things that came from your own brain. Yes, we play with research everyday. Although we develop less.

But, what should we do if our so damn hardwork is defined as just a knife that beheaded our own head. They push us to be a very2 type-of working people , only to make them very comfortable and moreover, make their shining name shinier. At the end, they just return us a question "Err..what's your name again ?. I just have to fill a performance form for you".

I am not talking about the whole company. Yes, if you get hired, then make sure you have ready to be death for your company. The company where I was working is great. Much more great then the others. They launch 11 bil contract for the so-called "first asean country to offer its citizen with 10Gbps". In the same you just get increment only 150 buncks annually. What are so great !.

So, it's not the matter of the company whom I mention earlier. It's the matter of your peers. Specifically, your seniors. When you see that your peers start to play taichi, then beware. It might messy your rice bowl. You have to know taichi sometimes. But if you just a kind-blind-hardworking person like me, then go find some help.

Office politic sucks all the time....

No, I am not working for the sake of people. And never work to show up. And never bribe someone accept the traffic policeman. I work because I have passion. But what you do if your passion is someone money pocket. They used you as long as you're so hardworking. But they only satisfied with someone that give them a big fan. So, what am i doing right now ?. There's the come of "Brilliant Lazy" is all about.

Go to the office, then finish your job. If your boss give 20% of jobs for the entire project, give them back 20% of result. Never show them an anger. Give a big smile, and talking nicely. Sit at your place when all done, then open job sites. Flying your CV scattered all over places. Open your blog and do typing. It will show the people that you are still have works. Some people love to see moving fingers than monthly report. But, also don't forget your report. Put 20% of your result into a piece of paper too. Just make your lazy is perfect. And this is usually done by a politician (ha ha ha)

I wish..I wish... to be hired by the people that respects passion. I wish..i can get a touch by people that respects brain and know where the brain is coming from.

Parenting guidlines ?

Seriously said...my life has change a lot since past 6 months. What happen though?. Of course its because you have a bunch of things that we actually can translate it into..what we call...the responsibilities...As small as if you take a spoons for a dinner. throwing it into a sink when u're finish, suddenly something come to your mind like a wise man kicking your little gegendang (apa maksud gegendang dalam english?) and asking "clean it first before you take off your pants and jump into your bed!..you just serve your partner indeed if doing so"..

Sperm shots precisely (Everyone absolutely understand the human genetic life cycle). And my beloved lover just carrying an embryo (4 month fetus we call it embryo isn't?..am nobody in Biology subject during college. Correct me before you leave me with a big laugh!) that will inherits so called Puniran's and Othman's infamous genes. Hopefully he's/she's as talented and brilliant as her/his parents (i am serious talking).

So, this make things getting outrageous. Like Tevez given additional 3 seconds after 95 minutes times to take a penalty. No, i am not man. city supporters but....quite some sort of that. So, life's getting pack with a list of additional activities that i never had done before. Learn how to make arrangement for medical check up. And learn to remember doctor's name. Start to memorize list of supplements. And the manual stick on that. Make a todo list for sure before you get into a doctor. It's for your beloved one, but your responsibilities is to make sure all things is executed in a right way. For sure your wife is more literate on this. Learn how to arrange a schedule. And used to play with it...

So ?. Married is not a bad at all. Maybe sometimes you get mumble. Little tired. But it does not a big problem at all. There is a bunch of parental guidelines written. Just get it, read and run. We live where everything is around us though. As much complex in our life, then there is also much of guidelines is provided. So up to you how you paint you child is it. If you intend to make your child as brilliant as Einstein, then read book that written by Jewish. If you dream that your kids just like Hitler, find Mein Kampf through Amazon..

Sometimes, married is just like you do programming. Planning at first place. Put right attributes into a right classes. Think carefully on syntax. And executed. Make sure no bug on your compiler. But of course turn on your computer first..

Some young people think that married will mess their lifestyle. Jeopardize their time..also pocket. Well, it was. But you're getting smarter if you are married. Why?. Because you will learn so many new things. It just like you are entering a new type of education environment. First, you have to learn A B C on parenting guidance. How do you spell 'R.E.S.P.O.N.S.I..B.I.L.I.T.Y'. Take an exam, and if pass that go to the next level. And start to learn mathematics. One of the lesson, if you were given 5 dollar, how do you spent it in order you to make a pasta !.Enough money?. Not?. Then apply for a loan !. Take a risk is must in 'dual' life. It's hard ?. Not at all. It will make you more smarter. And more cagily. Your brain is working. Always working. And your chance to get stroke is minimal. Unless you have history on it.

Sometimes married is just like you handle a computer. If something badly happen, open the book, read a manual, take a screw driver, open a casing and just make sense on it. If it continuous, used the remaining. Means that if your monitor getting off, but your keyboard and mouse still works, then just used that both. Pretends that your monitor is shining as before. If we used to get serious just because of a monitor is not working, then the whole work will be stuck. And your upcoming task getting much and much. It like your debt on your credit card. If you fail to settle it down, your interest will eat you !...So, married is like handling a computer. Don't ever treat it just like a credit card..Remember, it's a computer not a credit card...

So, am i talented given peoples a consultation on parental guidance?..call me by email..because i need an extra jobs to do to pay the bills..All things rise up by now my mates !...
