2.00am...e-filing

After numerous tries to submit my tax via e-filing, I managed to submit my tax submission early this morning at about 2am. I've tried so many time during office hours for the last few days but just couldn't get through. So yesterday evening before goin home, I decided to check out LHDN's website. I'm not surprised to see that there was some sort of an announcement that there seems to be traffic overload of submission. We Malaysians like to do thing at the very last minute. Me included!!...Hahahah

So that's why I decided to wake up at 2am and finally get to submit my tax submission. As long as we submit, we should be ok I think. We should be lucky to be able to pay tax as it means that we have some degree of wealth to be taxed as compared to other people in some other countries that are not so fortunate...

Od'd again........

Last Monday, I had the opportunity to go to PNB to bank-in some cash into my ASB account. I also took the opportunity to certified my ASB (which costs me RM10!!!) too. So as of now, the balance in my ASB looks healthy as compared that what it was last year!!! I did a mistake as I went there at about noon and my number only come up an hour plus later!! Penantian itu satu penyiksaan....Hahahaha

Earlier today though, I went to Maybank to increase my OD portfolio (via the certified ASB). Unfortunately, I had to go through the same process again (i.e submission of salary slips, ea, etc..) even-though I have an OD account in Maybank. Let's see how long it will take to get it approved this time....

Like I said, everything seems to be going into plan and the reason I'm increasing my OD portfolio is to boost up my capital for my Phase II plan. Sounds odd, but I'm contemplating of getting another property soon. I've identified the place and it looks to be in good order (with tenant too)....

I have some worries though. If I decide to get another property, the bank might see that I have lots of other commitments. However, after discussing with the loan officer in Maybank just now, I was told to provide whatever proof/documents to show that I'm able to 'justify' or pay those commitments. I have the confidence though but we'll see how it goes in the next few weeks....

For the time being, I can't exactly wait for next week. Why? Coz I'm turning 32 next week. huh!!!....32 and yet still struggling with life...but that's ok...I'm working towards the betterment of myself and those around me. So it should be ok...just need to work a little smarter in the future...

The other day, a friend of mine told me that there's an auction for a flat somewhere near Ikea. I'm interested but I think...I'm gonna focus on my other targeted property in KL.

Have a good week ahead. Esok cuti....

To my friend Jeli, who is about to get married...congrats bro!!!

Kiara Park...........

For the last couple of weekends, I made it a point to bring kecik to the park for some fun and interaction with the other kids. Obviously, she enjoyed the outdoors so much!!!!!













For the time being, it's pretty quiet on my side although I'm preparing myself for my Phase II plan for the next couple of weeks/months. I believe, some interesting developments are about to happen....we'll see how it goes...

Bengkek jerk..........

Earlier today, I received a call from one of our principals. As soon as I heard the voice, I can predict that I'll be hearing comments, complaints and so forth. So, this lady, Mrs X, starts to bombard me with lots of comments and complaints saying that they were very unhappy with our performance, our report, our late submission of updating them the status report, bla bla bla.

At the back of my mind, I wanted to ask her to stop talking. I kinda pissed they way she was talking as if we are beggars and depending on them for their business. At the same time, I knew that one of her staff had actually called my colleagues and mentioned about the same thing and was expecting us lick their 'asses'. In malay we call it 'menatang minyak yang penuh'.

The more I think of it, the more I'm pissed. Yes, it is our business to give magnificent services to our clients. Yes, we have to show them what we can do but not to the extent of treating us like some dirt and so forth. The fact remains that we are in business and obviously and to a certain extent our business comes from them. I just hope that they are understanding enough to really understand the process of work that we have to go through before issuing a complete and quality reports. Lambasting us for being late or being cynical is apparently not the way. One day I hope, they will be a little bit accomodating...

Gifts from Liverpool...

My uncle and aunt just got back from the UK tour a couple of weeks ago. During their stop-over in Liverpool, they decided to have a brief visit to Anfield and bought some gifts for kecik...

How nice of them...Thnx a lot!!!




A cool LFC bag-pack for kecik!! Wonder when she'll learn to use it...

Reality TV

Tonight, I had the opportunity to watch a reality tv show aired during prime time. I've never been a great follower of this kind of tv shows. We know that nowadays that we have lots and lots of reality tv shows that has been aired over the local tv as well as in ASTRO.

Looking back I what I saw tonight, something deep inside me felt a wee bit sad especially when looking at the contestants. I'm not an expert and I admit that I sux in singing but from what I see in the shows, some of the contestants were so bad that it has turned into a laughing stock..

I mean, get real people, nothing in the world comes easy and becoming a singer won't give you an easy life. That's the reality of life anyway. Again, I'm not against the reality tv shows be it AF, Mentor or OIAM or whatever. After all, these shows are basically 'medium' for the tv station in increasing their ratings as well as maximizing their profits.

I do wish that these kids to re-emphasize or re-focus their life in continuous learning. Search for new knowledge. Go to grad-school or something. Education shall never be comprised as that is the ONLY key to the enhancement of self development. It's not being able to look great on TV, get many fans or whatever but what matters is to actually have some degree of knowledge to help them in the future.

Obviously, it is not me to say what is right and what is wrong but I have a strong feeling that each one of us must have the desire to improve ourselves. Always have a new aim and work hard towards it. However, if it's the aim of a person to be a singer via reality shows, good luck to them and I wish them well.

We are lucky to have lots of facilities here in Malaysia. The unfortunate thing is, we do not take the opportunities and using it for our advantage...Like i said earlier, education, shall never be compromised and that is what we as a nation must achieve in order to be a better nation...

I believe, the lack of education is the prime reason why we have so many moral and corruption problems as some people just unable to really think what is right and what is wrong..

Sunday Ride........

After a few weeks of golfing as well as 'staying' at home, I had the opportunity to have a short breakfast on a very bright Sunday morning. It's been two weeks since I last ride me bike, so I was actually looking forward for it. So I left the house at about 645am. It was a good ride considering the fact that I've not even started the bike for the last 2 weeks but a problem crops up when I reached the jalan kuching roundabout. I felt that there might be a problem with one of the plus so upon reaching Shell Taman Melati, I decided to change one of the plugs and the problem solved. Phewww...I was glad anyhoos....

As promised, me and 4 other friends met up at Taman Melati and we had a small chat on where to go for this ride. Originally I planned to go to tanjung malim but since TM is quite near, we decided to head to bagan lalang. SO off we went to bagan lalang via DUKE-Jln Tun Razak-MEX-Dengkil-Bagan Lalang. I assumed, it took us approximately more than an hour and almost 100kms for the 'short' ride.....






Upon reaching Bagan Lalang, we hang out at a restaurant situated about 100 meters from the beach. THe food (nasi lemak telur goreng) was not bad but we enjoyed ourselves by talking about everything from politics, bikes, etc...


We decided to head home 10 mins before 12. Before heading the highways, we stopped for a quick refuel at Sg Pelek and then we're off for home. Unfortunately, my ride back home using the highway was stopped half-way because of the rain just after putrajaya exit.



Anyways, today was the first time I was stopped by the traffic police and they decided to fine me for having an un-approved number plate. Huh!! It's been years since I ride this bike and never before I was being fine for such thing. Anyhoos, I just took the fine without saying a word.
