Hooohoooiii!!!! (Clenched fists...) Maju!!! Setiap markah penting!!!

Unreal, but if it is, this guy is sheer genius..
I was surfing through the internet reading blogs about Malaysia tanahairku. Stumbled upon some blog depicting Nor Mohamad Yakcob's experiences with Tun Mahathir during his PM days in 1998, when the Asian currency crisis was reaching its peak.
Normally, I tend to just read, but I thought I'd share this one because of the sheer feat done by our ex-PM. (Not that I'm pro Mahathir / anti Mahathir, but I'm highlighting an achievement that's worth learning from.)
Let me summarise it into a few quick points:
1. During the peak of currency crisis, Mahathir was in Buenos Aires.
2. Upon hearing that, on the spot he called Nor Mohamad to fly out to Argentina (normal people would've waited to come back first and settle problems in a more familiar environment)
3. As is, Mahathir doesn't know much about the nature of the problem, and given his busy schedule, he only had 2 hours to understand the complexity of world financial markets mechanism.
4. Nor Mohamad told everything he knew, and Mahathir did nothing but listen, with 1 or 2 questions. Nothing else.
5. Mahathir asked Nor Mohamad to write it all on paper, and pass it to him at dinner.
6. By tomorrow, Mahathir has already understood the whole situation, how the financial markets work and why Malaysia is experiencing the crisis.
7. From then, he was able to discuss various solution models with Nor Mohamad (and MTEN) as if he was already a well-versed expert in the subject.
The rest is history. Instead of taking the IMF loan, we took the path less travelled. Lowered interest rates, fixed the currency, banned overseas ringgit trade and imposed capital controls. Currency stability was reached, and a potentially devastating crisis was averted.
Learning in 2 hours...that's just phenomenal. I studied commerce for 3 years and am still struggling with the intricacies of finance. Superb effort. Bangga aku sebagai rakyat Malaysia sekejap.

Ceria mesra bersangkalaka
Tetiba banyak lak benda berlaku for the past few days. Highlights? Sure...
- Lawan Jepun, menang 2-1. Gol2 semua dijaringkan oleh orang Malaysia sahaja. Heheh, meaning ada orang score own goal la tu..teka sapa??
- Habis weekend bawak adik aku kena sana sini uruskan dia nyer benda2 uni. Sebab enrol lambat, therefore had problems with si-net, myuq and blackboard. Wasn't able to get any lecture notes / tute questions until middle of week 2. There's a Law quiz due this Friday already. Don't know how he's gonna fare, but told him to read whatever he can, so by the time he actually gets those lect notes and tute qs, he'd understand the jargon and breathe a bit easier.
- Been pounded with work as well, since my senior accountant left. Had to step up to his role and understand all the stuff he passed me into a meaningful, organised framework of info. Trying to get the gist of the sitch at the moment. Currently doing well so far, see what happens.
- Still pounded with CA module as well. Was able to get a consistent study rhythm running, despite distractions happening throughout the week. Insyaallah akan berjaya kalau niat tuh ikhlas, amin.
See you guys.
P.S - Promise to put some pics / decorations to lighten up this blog. As the owner, I have to admit even I'm starting to get slightly turned off by the display of my own blog. Ta...

Dealing with Crisis
1) Identify weak points - Poor quiz marks due to lack of time and insufficient knowledge
2) Prioritise on the weakest - Sheer lack of knowledge
3) Spend all resources to fix it - Get AASB, do all exercises ASAP, understand unit 4
4) Repeat until everything solved to best of ability - Catch up other units.
Donno how I'd do that, but I'll start with Unit 4 and then go from there.
Better write these down, if not, I'll just forget.

Happy birthday to Min and Na, great celebration just now. Nana masak, sedap gila, 3 pinggan habis. Did Nana's tax return as well, was hoping for a bit more but ended up with a bit less, slight disappointment.
Baru habis kuiz CA aku, 4/7 right (1 betul pun tembak je sebab tak cukup masa). Jahanam, terasa bodoh kali kedua, grrr....Ingat dia test topic as is, rupa2nya dia boleh siap gabung lak prinsip2 from previous modules. Cinabeng......Satu lagi question lak dgn biadabnya menanyakan pasal calculating a defined benefit plan, never done that before in my life or in the focus sessions. That came from absolutely nowhere, knocking me off my feet and putting me out senseless for the next few days. Gotta recover before the 4th session. This is super duper bad....
So far performance aku from quizzes = 0/8 (tak buat, taktau ada quiz, rugi sungguh) + 5/8 + 4/7 = 9/23 = 3% out of 7.5% = 40%. That's a FAIL.
Now I'm starting to have serious doubts on whether I can even pass the subject. FIN 208 is absolute murder, I have got to do something. If not, I might be heading towards the barrel of failure.....Help.

Beghaaaatttt....
Went to work. Sibuk sepanjang hari. Had my first lunchtime touch rugby comeback game after a while. Pancit gila, dan lembab gila. Man, I've got to improve.
Spent the evening preparing for my CA focus session. In process listening my workmates throw out some random jokes here and there. Hahahahaha!!!! You guys rock.
Pegi CA focus session malam tu. Terasa macam orang bodoh. Jawapan aku semua salah, pas tu aku asyik kena perangkap ngan semua trick question dalam modul. Esok ada kuiz due, next focus session (grilling session) in two weeks time and aku kena present jawapan! Topic?? Accounting for financial instruments!!! Damnn......Exam 28 August, uffff, macamana nak buat nih?? Oh well, bertapa kat rumah je la kot from here on.
Fainna ma'al usri yusra..
On the bright side, housemate aku masak kari ayam tahap sempalit. Kenyang gila, sengih balik aku. Not a bad way to end the day. At stumps, its 2 for 234.

Weekend yang chill dan relaks
Sabtu - Gi keje, nak post this 15,000 line journal, tak dpt2, pelik sungguh, Isnin ni kena settlekan..
Ahad - Pegi Super Amart, beli tilam for my bro who's coming next Saturday!!!!! Woohoo!!! Suruh diorang hantar sebab tak muat keta, lalu dicas $66 for delivery, erk....Oh well, one off so I reckon that's fine. Dah lama tak shopping tilam, seghonok lak aku baring lama2 melayan kelembutan deluxe plush mattresses kat situ.
Also got a new comforter set, beli kat Woolies. There're 3 choices: Pink (Sekian terima kasih...), Blue (Jgn nak ngada, aku dah ada blue dah) and Brown (Yup, that'll do). Had pizza for lunch, kenyang sampai malam.
After that gunting rambut, $10 kat Toowong. As cheap as you can get. Apparently the shop belongs to a nice Middle East / Turkish / Lebanese guy who got all his daughters (Has to be, they look really alike) working there, which explains the bargain price. Been there thrice now, and it suits my requirement for "decent short @ no 4". Tambahan pula, daughter2 dia sungguh bersopan santun, suka senyum2 and have really nice hairstyles, so confident skit aku nak menghulur kepala aku. Ah, ringan je rasa kepala lepas sehabis tu, nak pk pun senang skit.
So Toowong Barber Shop, please keep up the good work. Positive employees attract happy customers. Loved the haircut, tolonglah jgn bankrupt, maklumlah small business...
While my hair was being cut, for some reason it triggered some story about my childhood, pretty funny...aku rasa selain parents aku, 1-2 org je tahu pasal benda nih kot. Lain kali lah aku cite, one at a time ok fellas?
Ptg tuh layan tido sat. Then I got a nice visit from Ji, Ika and Jerry. Layan kejap Game Lord of The Rings, hahaha seronoknya lama tak layan game2 cam nih since Diablo (Mapen kau still hafal rune2 combination?? TIR RUUUUUUNNNNE!!!!!!! Ahahah)
Malam tuh ada kuiz, so study je lah. Suddenly, quiz deadline extended to tomorrow night, yahoo! Boleh la study lagi skit then buat sok. (Some people just to get it over with, but I think it's worth spending another day, just my opinion).
And yes, happy birthday Ali Imran adik aku!! Dah 10 tahun kamu eh, ingat baby lagi. Manja mengalahkan anak kucing. Today he's been ordering Juju to bake a cake for him, spoilt brat. He's also been pestering mum for Tasmanian Oysters today, because he loved the ones at Salt and Battery when they came to Brissie. Therefore, dgn selamba riangnya mak aku berkata, "Nih kamu la ni bang, sapa suruh belanja oysters hari tu." WHAT!!!!! That came out of nowhere. Oh well, biarlah, menyakat lagi la tu as usual. Hai, mak aku nih...
Good night, gotta work tomorrow. Love my work.

Fascinating - worth a read...
I was just reading Malaysia-related news on the net and accidentally stumbled upon this blog.
An 18-year old girl (in 2004, now she's around 22) from Tamparuli (A place in Sabah, there's a nice song about the bridge I like to play)
She chronicles her experiences during her 3-month national service. I loved it because it's very well balanced, full of substance, not too emotional, well-articulated and portrays outstanding maturity levels beyond her age!!
Big deal for me, given I've never been in NS before. It's got absolutely everything. The good, the bad and the ugly. (Make that superbad and superugly...)
Anyway, sapa ada masa baca lah.. fascinating gila!!! (bagi aku lah..)

Good night everyone. Hope you're all alive and happy out there.

2 mimpi pelik
1 - Aku mimpi tgh buat Consol Cash Flow Statement utk company aku...semangat berlari ke sana sini jumpa semua orang tanya pasal operating / investing /financing activity items...ahahah, bangun tido tau2 je dah penat berfikir..dah la kena gi keje lak pagi tuh, double fikir...letih2 ehehe
2 - Yg ni lagi pelik... Aku tgh lepak kat some majlis keramaian dekat2 sekolah rendah aku, tetiba aku jumpa mak aku..Apparently she's wanted to matchmake me with a girl she knew. (WOOPPPP!!!!!!!!)
Namun, hajat tak kesampaian. Belum sempat nak tgk rupa si gadis itu, aku seraya terjaga tetiba2, sebab alarm handphone aku berbunyi...citpoodah...
At least kalau tak kerana keje pagi tu boleh le aku sambung tido (mana tau mimpi tuh sambung balik, you know what I mean?)
Oh well, till then, Mrs "Girl with No Face"....

Classique
Felt like putting on this pic, taken since 3-4 years back??
- Segerombolan jejaka di Guyatt Park, Barbeque Umno (probably) -
Dari kiri: Snowboard, Kuyut, Fariq, Jemay, Apai, Luqzan, Remy, Hasfuan, "Mystery guy", Adnan, aku.
P.S - Take note of my dishevelled hairstyle, plus the poor fashion sense, now that's dressing to shock in its purest form.
Never fails to make me smile everytime I see this pic. Hahaha, rindunya zaman sengal dulu2.

It reconciles...
Tuhan saja yg tahu betapa lapangnya dada aku bila spreadsheetku me'reconcile'kan dirinya sendiri, advantage Ansar now.. on with the theory part, and then submit!!! Yahooligans!!!

CA assignment
Spent 30 hours already on gigantic cash flow spreadsheet reconciliation for a consol entity acquiring and disposing subsidiaries, the kind you'd see in typical growing / listed companies. Pehh.....malam ni hantar, but got most of them organised.
And there's also part A as well, the theory questions and backing em up with AASB legislations and doing journal entries where relevant. Tax effect accounting, that's an ouch...
Definitely look to close in on 12 hours by end of day today, starting to see numbers everywhere now. Maybe I am destined to be an accountant after all, hahahah!!!

Wowwweeee!!!!!!!!
Syukur alhamdulillah,
After bergegasan seharian, pada pukul 4.45 pm adik aku selamat menerima an unconditional offer of entry to UQ.
We got the CRICOS number. Now we need to get the visa organised between now and 25/7/2008. That's 14 days, just enough time I reckon. Kelas start 21st July, he's gonna miss that.
But he'll attend uni starting 28/7/2008.
Credit to everyone in the family yang berhempas-pulas sejak 5 hari lepas trying to get everything in place. Now we rest for weekend and launch stage 2 on Monday. Juggling 20 things at the same time with constrained resources and time has never been so stretching. Project management at its very best.
Till then.

Postal service bodo!!!!! (Jgn baca kalau anda tak menyenangi luahan2 emosional)
Tak guna sungguh..
Kitorang kena hantar application adik aku yg nak masuk UQ before end of July. Initially aku apply guna photocopied docs dulu, sebab bapak aku tgh hantar original through registered mail, so takpele..
The catch?? 2 minggu baru sampai.!!!!! Mangkuk sungguh!!!! WTF?? Menyampah menyengit!!! Ada la 2-3 hari lepas baru sampai, and then obviously UQ hantar conditional offer suruh kasi document original secepat mungkin. Kepala hotak kau, memang lah aku nak hantar original, tapi dah benda tuh tak sampai2, macamana aku nak hantar!!! Ni kang jgn nak menyalahkan aku lak bila adik aku tak sempat enrol sebab benda2 teknikaliti yg bodoh dan bangang sebegini. Mak aku dah risau dah rumah, aku pun takleh buat apa, doa je le banyak2.
Yang lebih menyusahkan lagi, postal service tuh bukan hantar kat rumah aku, dia hantar kat post office!! Abih tu, nak ambik bila?? Weekend P.O tak bukak, Uni pun tak bukak, pecite??? Nak ambik time weekday memang tak dapat lah, sekarang busy melampau2 sebab end of financial year, ambik cuti memang tak dapatlah, nak dtg lambat / balik awal nanti bos lak bising. Bodoh sungguh2...
Last2 aku terpaksa menyusahkan housemate aku, suruh dia lak jadi runner aku ke post office st lucia and then hanto ke UQ student centre esok pagi secepat mungkin...haiya, sudah meletakkan harapan kat org lain lak, antara benda2 yg aku paling susah nak buat dalam dunia. Apa boleh buat, sabar je le, jadi tak jadi tu ada la hikmah sebaliknya ye tak? Kita hanya mampu merancang but in the end tuhan jek yg menentukan...as long as we keep communicating with UQ Insyaallah they will understand.
Then when that minor glitch (oh guys, sorry to rap on but it has not finished yet!!) is resolved, kena buat visa pulak.....kena tunggu offer baru boleh buat, mana boleh main apply jek...nak apply lak kena tunggu between 2 minggu (paling cepat) - 1 month (paling lama), hari tu kena call UQ bertalu2 (dahla tanak kasitau status application adik kat aku, purely because bapak aku yg dinamakan "Delegate of Authority"...habih tu dia tinggal ngan aku, aku pun penting gak hape...). Skang nampak gayanya kena call DIMIA / Embassy lak bertalu2 sebab kesuntukan masa, and nak expedite benda nih secepat mungkin. Pas tu beli ticket, goodness knows ada ke tak tiket time2 cam nih, mintak2 ade la...kalau tak dah start lambat kan payah tu, nasib baik first sem, ada la leeway 1-2.
Yg menambahkan hanginnya, hari tu UQ kata nak tengok semua results baru boleh kasi offer, alih2 aku tanya sepam lagi, diorang kata ok and diorang akan kasi conditional offer asalkan we show up the results eventually. Pebenda nih?? Did I miss something??
Last but not least, UQ for some reason is still charging $9115 instead of $8000. Extra 1115 to covers OSHC (yang sucks, aku benci OSHC sebab sengal, medicare rules!!!) and application fee ($100, yang aku dah bayar, tapi tak tau apa pasal dia mintak sepam lagi, bengong)...Kena call Uq bertalu2 lagi la nih nak clarify mana nak bayo dan mana nak settle sendiri...
Final word, will go all out, full on to make this work. Would love to have my bro joining me, because I know he'll love it..I have faith in him, and know he's got the character to succeed.
Orientation? Takyah ah gi formal2 session tuh, aku settlekan jek in 2 days max. Easy cheesy peasy squeezy.
Lapang dadaku melepas geram, macam tulis diari saja hehe. Ok lah, nak tido...thanks guys / girls for reading / listening, you have a great day as well.. sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite okay?

Orientation? Takyah ah gi formal2 session tuh, aku settlekan jek in 2 days max. Easy cheesy peasy squeezy.
Lapang dadaku melepas geram, macam tulis diari saja hehe. Ok lah, nak tido...thanks guys / girls for reading / listening, you have a great day as well.. sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite okay?

MASCA 2008 - awesome
Gambar-gambar takde lagi, tapi nanti aku post. Summary (from my biased perspective).
2nd place Overall!! Great team effort
Won:
1) Tennis - Nana power gila
2) Volleyball - Zizul and Co gempak gila
3) Athletics - Apit, Jo, Hajar, Huda, Dila, Faris, Abu, Arul laju gila
4) Squash ladies - Hajar Snr power gila
5) Frisbee - Apek, Jo, Ron, Hajar and Co mantap gila
6) Badminton Ladies Doubles - Sherene and Donna best berabisan!!
7) Takraw - Arip dan rakan-rakan 'psycho'ed their way to a memorable gold medal. "Tekong, mari sini..." Ringing any bells?
Silver: Berlambakan, include:
1) Futsal girls - Kalah only because own goal. Bad luck.
2) Rugby - Apit hero gila, lari dari tepi lalu try kat tengah. But lost to NSW.
3) Ping - pong - Ayam tambatan, Zaki merangkul pingat perak yang baik.
4) Badminton - Mixed, good performance, lost ngan Victoria
5) Netball - Initially led by 2 goals, only for NSW to hammer in 3 goals in the last 5 minutes. Now that's heartbreak in its purest form.
Sengal: (Paling malas nak cakap sebab involve aku, but oh well...)
1) Bola padang - 4th!!! Kalah semi on penalties, what bad luck...good game though guys. 3rd place pun kalah!! Seriously, my heart is 100% there but buggeroo, my thighs and my calves just aren't.
Also scored the first goal of my MASCA career, unfortunately it went to the wrong side of the field. A routine attempt to clear a harmless cross went wrong when the ball flicked my outside foot, which magnificiently spun and swerved backwards into the far corner, leaving Ji with no chance. What th??????
2) Futsal - A tale of fatigue and no subs, where'd everyone go? Kalah QF, and I ended up walking out with a cramped calf, sad way to end a disappointing campaign.
3) Basketball - Ben the inspirational captain got injured causing a significant slump in the team. The rest is history.
Hypothetically (being a bit sour grapes here ok?), if we won bola padang and futsal, we would've had a genuine crack at being overall champions, since we didn't lose out by much versus NSW being defending champions again. But we didn't, and I personally thought I didn't play too well, and was simply unfit for tournament level. Definitely could've done better.
Oh well, what's happened has happened. Good thing is we still have most of the team (a young and promising team too!) to compete in NSW next year, so yeah, I would love to have another crack at bola and futsal. Will have a super duper bloody ripper of a crack...
For now, I've been spending my 3 days lying in bed like a dead man, while my leg muscles swell and shake uncontrollably. Even work colleagues could notice my dilated pupils and agonising limps from a mile away. Worth the effort though.
Final words, well done team!! Queensland Roar Queensland Roar Queensland Roar....
