I am not going to retire yet !!!

Bangi Golf Club
These are the Bangi morning view, pictures taken form the hotel's balcony
Sorry to my friends out there....I've been keeping you waiting too loOoooong for my new Blog to surface.Haha Soli. I was quite a bit of busy and suddenly became lasy too...
My last blogging was done on the 23/3 and after that our office had the annual "Sasaran Kerja Tahunan"(Yearly Work Programme) seminar in Bangi Equatorial Hotel from 26/3 to 29/3. I think i put on a pound or two after the seminar.The breakfast, the 10 o'clock tea,the lunch,the evening tea and the dinner !!! Those who has gone to the Hotel before would have agreed with me that the food in this Hotel are all yammi yammi and you have too much to eat and to taste all the savour of typical Western and Asian food.Show you huh..
I always enjoy this type of MatSalleh breakfast.In fact, i realised my daughters too enjoy like the "Papaer(Papa To them)"
Milk with all the goodies beans- it was nice !
High fibre bread with butter-soli the pic not clear enough.
Another set that i "Wallop" for my breakfast (at different day of cause!) the yogurt, the Japanese fish head soup (top centre), the seaweed soup (left) and the plate- at last i didn't take the red meat.I have to take care of my "Balls " that's why i never miss the tomato.!!!
Dinner-don no what stuff?!!
All mushrooms -special order from the chief-I ate all these so that end of the days i won't feel guilty...but still put on weight!
This one common lah!
Soon after those seminar we have our office internal auditing,which lasted until yesterday.These time around they have stretched the audit period longer than usual i.e from 31/3 to 11/4 and the actual ISO closing date is on the 14/3.I am one of those internal auditors who was given 5 task scopes of area to audit.Damp demanding man...Very busy indeed.(a bit of lazy too)
What I see in ...
Bengkel Percambahan Fikiran,Menempuh Cabaran Era Ke-2:-
We had a sessions in "Industrialised Building System"(IBS) The talk was delivered by Prof.Madya Dr.Rahinah Ibrahim-PhD (Constr.Engr.Mgmt,Stanford U),M.Arch (SCI-Arch); B.A (Arch.Washington)
Deputy Dean (Research,Graduate Studies & International Affairs) Faculty of Design and Architecture, Universiti Putra Malaysia
My comments are as follows:-
First Comment:-
1) First and foremost,My own people-the organiser, got to be blamed first...did they tell this Prof what we actually wanted her to present/show in this seminar?
2) What are we getting from her? or expecting something "special" from her talk? Can she provide that kind of Opmms That we want? Where can she lead us to?Or highlight us,enlighten us on new things? - NO NO NOT at ALL!!!
3) She just stood there 3 hours or so Bla,bla,bla on her "Lecture's notes" Her topics was :-
I) An Example of VIRTUAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION-An ICT supported environment.
II) Develop 3D-CAD design protocol;e-submission;CAD database
III) Financial analysis on higher upfront investment-review of professional services fees.
IV) BASE RESEARCH PROJECT : -2006-2010-3D -CAD Modular Coordinated sustainable IBS.
V) IBS project collaboration using virtual reality.
NO wonder my friends all felt asleep ZzZzzz...Imagine for 3 hours you are listening to these things....
4) She has poor presentation skill...half the time her big baju-jubah...will be blocking the LCD screen...we can see Wayang Kulit-Dark Shadow ...
My suggestion:-
First of all see your audiences...who are they ,What do they want .Why are you here to present a talk...Is Your TOPIC RIGHT?
Why can't she tell us in which field we could collaborate together to promote a product to the market...or simply tell us what sort of invention do they have in mind or rather in their design ( In Stages /On Schedule)so that we could JV to have a MOU done to facilitate and progress together...We are not going to damp our money in the research funding...it could be expensive...the government can fund that sort of money.Just tell me what you have in mind and in areas where we can chips in...with our 40 years track record.I believe we can ...with the new product we can travel to other part of the states.I wonder why we never chips in the rebuilding of Banda Aceh!?
2nd Comment :-
A male Prof.Madya lecturer from UITM;his appearance was just like a slot before the end of a show...the ACTUAL Topic on that afternoon was " The Balancing Act Between Thinking Outside The Box and Thinking Inside The Box in The Changing World Economy"-the topic was heavy -It was delivered well by En Faizul of UITM and before the end of the talk,there was an additional slot for this Prof.Madya & Company ...do you know what was his topic all about!?...
1) PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT DELIVERY PROCESS;
(Flow Chart Of Development Approval In Peninsular Malaysia)
2) PROJECT STAGES AND THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT PROCESSES;AND
3) OVERALL PROCESS OF PROJECT / PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT.
To Be continue....

well ,i think most of the things presented are too academic and of no practical use these people are lecturer from academic institution full of theories and hipothesis but all unproven and untested stuffs. the CAD and 3D computerize system are way too advance for us ,we are easily 10 years behind time compare to the west. If you have money off course you can buy the most sophisticated 3D system in the world but where are the human expertise that suppose to operate them ?? by the time you have trained the local people and ready the system already obsolete and outdated.
