I can still recall the damage inflicted to my pocket when i did THIS not long time ago. Now let’s talk about the achievement i made so far with the purchase. Do i manage to read all the material cover to cover or is it being a dust collector somewhere in my room? According to this site, it have been at least 44 days/6 weeks since i left home. Let’s see how i fare this time. The verdict is as below:

1) Icon – Steve Jobs – DONE READING
2) Ideaspotting – DONE READING. WILL READ IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS CREATIVITY TRIGGER POINT
3) Freakonomics – HALF-WAY THRU
4) Confession of An Economic Hitman – HALF-WAY THRU
5) Assassination of Robert Maxwell – UNWRAP STILL
6) Kingdom in Crisis – DONE READING. SCARY!
7) Einstein Never Used Flash Card – UNWRAP STILL
Emergenetics – OPENED, FLIP IT THRU AS REFERENCE
9) Advanced Images (magazine) – DONE READING. OH, I LEFT IT BACK HOME.
10) Hypertune (magazine) - DONE READING. SITTING DEARLY BACK AT HOME.

Well, not bad i suppose, 44 days living my own life, handling chore during the days, balancing my nights and weekend by reading books. I can say that time well spent. 3 medium-thick books in 44 days, i should be proud of myself. Why? some people can’t even manage to complete reading a book even if you give them a whole time the world can offer.

Now Reading: Emergenetics / Freakonomics / Confessions of an Economic Hitman (yeah, i’m doing this in parallel)

Next up:  Einstein Never Used Flash Card / Assasination of Robert Maxwell (in parallel too)

I need to read all up before i heading back home.

Masa itu datang lagi. Kali ini Malaysia telah merdeka hampir setengah abad. Setengah abad bukannya satu masa yang pendek. Pelbagai yang boleh dicapai dalam tempoh yang sebegini panjang. Jika ingin diukur dari segi infrastruktur, Malaysia boleh berbangga dengan pencapaiannya. Menara KLCC, LRT, Lebuhraya yang berselirat menyambungkan pelbagai kota dan bandar dan tidak terkecuali dengan lebuhraya maklumat yang menghubungkan individu tanpa batas.

It’s like an epiphany hitting on me when 2 incidents coming right after each other. First, when my brother decided to throw the towel early. Second, when i came across with an awesome book by Leigh Branham titled ‘The 7 Hidden Reasons Employees’. Branham is an employee-retention expert (it’s nice expertise that he got) who has treading with this issue for a very long time. Using an enormous volume of interviews and survey data, it arrived to a conclusion that, whenever an employee decide to leave a company, it will be triggered by any of the 7 hidden reasons. The reasons are:

#1: The Job or Workplace Was Not as Expected

#2: The Mismatch Between Job and Person

#3: Too Little Coaching and Feedback

#4: Too Few Growth and Advancement Opportunities

#5: Feeling Devalued And Unrecognized

#6: Stress From Overwork and Work-Life Imbalance

#7: Loss of Trust and Confidence in Senior Leaders

Few days back it was mum’s day which worth celebrating. Today is my dad’s turn to do the same. Today he is celebrating his 62nd birthday. Being a retiree, life is fun for him in many ways. Eventhough the sign of age shows, he is still strong as he is 10 years back.

Happy Birthday to my dad. Many happy returns to him, me wish.

Wishing a happy belated 49th birthday to my beloved mum. A very strong woman that i’ve ever known, who has never gave up on me at anytime. Her love and strong character really impress me.

She is longing for her first grandchild. Wait no more mum, you will receive your due soon, InsyaAllah.

How i wish to be by her side at this point of time…
