THE GUY FROM HARVARD UNIVERSITY AND MY MUSLIM CONSUMER DIRECTORY

I used to worked as a Marketing Executive for a publishing company that was run by a well known Malay businessman here. The company publishes the First Muslim Consumer Directory and I am part of the team. When it first started my boss was only targeting on Muslim companies for advertising but later on I came out with an idea of inviting the non muslim's company to participate so as they can promote their items to the Muslim consumers and it really paid off. I realised that we are the one who started the marketing of the halal and Muslim product that is why we see many companies from the event management are following suits by having an exhibitions everywhere. Then later on after the launched of the directory my boss decided to look out for an investor, then I was thinking it might be a good thing so I proposed to my good friend Datuk Syed Yusof and eventually after a few meeting with my boss Datuk agreed to the idea. But later on I found out that my boss was asking way too much that I personally feel it is not worth because I know how much the whole operation cost so I told Datuk to back off from the deal because I don't want to be blame or be responsible if the company doesn't make any profit.

So after quiting I was offered a job with a good friend of mine Syed Ahmad he used to work for Utusan Malaysia but based in Singapore at that time. He open up a company call UMS Event so I was working as an Assistant Manager, my job was to look for sponsorship from big companies and during those days I was often been invited to some functions & Seminars and there is when I laid eyes on one of ex-politician he was a graduate from Harvard University and a very ambitious man, he was a shareholder of many listed companies. Very tall, smart, inte;;igent and I must say he got this great personality, he was looking at me the whole time and I kind of like him at one point but we didn't actually had any conversation until later on when I followed my boss to Kuala Lumpur to attend the opening of the new Utusan Office. My boss invited him to the opening and telling him that Tun Dr Mahathir at that time Tun was still Malaysian Prime minister will be the guest of honour. So I made a call to him and he was actually on his way home and was already in JB, when he heard that I was in KL he told my boss he will drink "RED BULL" to keep him awake and that very day itself he drove all the way back to KL.

So my boss and my other colleague making a joke out of it they said" tengok tu dia tahu you ada pat sini sanggup minum Red Bull and drive back all the way back" hahaha it was funny and I still remember that... So when he arrives he call to my room and we chatted on the phone for a very long time, he wanted to buy a Baju Kurung coz I was complaining that I had nothing to wear for the occassions. But then ofcoz I didn't buy any because it was already too late and all the shops are closed and I am the sort who doesn't like to be obligated to someone. So the next morning we went for the opening ceremony I followed my boss in one car and he drives his Merc from behind as he was driving back home after teh ceremony and he was asking me to tag along but ofcoz I couldn't as I got other things to do. So from then on he started calling me, fetching me from work etc. He is married of coz with two kids and he love his children very much. After the third date he asked me to marry him, I was shocked because I just knew him for couple of weeks mana boleh I kahwin dengan dia besides he is already married and I told him I am seeing someone at the moment which is true I am seeing someone but not to the extend of getting engage or married but I am seeing someone I told him. He refused to eccept my explaination probably coz of Ego biasalah lelaki maybe he think he is nothing to me as to compared with my other boyfriend. But I didn't think that way for me I am just not ready to get married at that time. He is nice a prefect man who have everything, loves reading and intelligent (this is what turns me on) but the only set back is that his married and saya tak suka merosak rumahtangga orang lain.

So we went out for few months until one day his wife started calling my office she ask me are you Sherry I said yes then she told me that she found my name on her husband's diary and her husband also wrote my birthday date, so I actually told her the truth and she was quite calm while listening to my side of story. But then later she started calling me again by then I refused to take her calls, her husband also called me saying that they both have been quarrelling for many days now and that he reminded me about his wife will come and look for me. He was nice coz he wanted to protect me in away because he knows I am not at fault as he was the one who in the first place started all these. Few times she called but I didn't want to answer her calls and my colleague Nassier was the one who answered all her phone calls , Nassier got scolded by his wife many times just because she can't get hold of me. Its been going for awhile almost all of my closed friend knows about it becos he was a prominent businessman here.

Then one day she called again I answered and we spoke for a very long time. I realised that she was quite a nice lady and she actually told me about her husband weakness in woman. And she told me that her husband kept denying about going out with me and she told me that her husband was blaming me for everything and she wanted to know the truth who actually started. She then wish to meet up with me in one of 5 star hotel Lobby Lounge I agreed, the day came I was sitting down waiting for her, she came and introduce herself. I wasnt afraid because i wasnt the one who started the affair it was her husband's who is so madly in love with me. But she was nice lady because as a woman maybe understands my situation she then told me that she had invited her husband for a drink with us but didn't tell him that I was also there.

About after 15 mins her husband arrived looking so stunned to see me there together with his wife, his wife asked him to confessed everything infront of me, and to her surprised he started to praised me instead and his wife got so mad and told me that was not what she heard from his mouth before. She then said " Betul Sherry he critizes you earlier on and now suddenly infront of you he says differently thing" . He told his wife not to get me involved I was not in the wrong, he told her I was the nicest girl he have ever met, itu yang membuat Isterinya lebih sakit hati. My heart melt after hearing the nice words that coming out from his mouth. His wife then told him " You don't love your children anymore is it? why are you doing this things to us" Well Its normal for a woman putting children into the pictures so that the man will feel guilty... I didn't want to prolong the conversation so I excused myself. later that evening he called me and says that his wife wants a divorced but I advice him to stick to his wife & sake forgiveness because as a woman I know how she feel. and i know I can't take him at that moment because I was engaged to someone at that time already but maybe if I am not engaged I would have considered accepting him as my future husband because he got this fatherly figure that i am looking for in a man.

After the whole ordeal was over his wife called me up & we went out to have lunch and she told me that her husband have said sorry and that things are getting back to normal. She also thanked me for telling her the truth because if not she would not have known her husband true colour. But stilll after a few month I split with my fiance for some reasons then again my phone rang and when I answered it was him, they both were having an argument again, tak habis habis!!. I heard his wife kept telling him to tell me off on the phone ( macam tak puas hati)when I know he never will. He then told me that his wife was not satisfied because he was all the time gentle and nice to me and that she can't take it. She really wanted him to scold me badly, and then my mother heard me talking on the phone with them, my mum just took the phone and told them off saying " stop disturbing my daughter another time you call my daughter i will take actions" after that I never heard from them ever again. I still have the small diamond ring that he gave me. I know in his heart he still have the liking in me because ever once I called him regarding about some business, he then told me that I have created a big scarr in his heart that would never heal ( drama mama!!) I was laughing because for me what ever happened before I will never take it to hard and tend to forget about it easily but ofcoz when I think back I still feel the same towards him. ...

Just few months ago I saw him taking the same lift as I am just near my office together with his business partners I was stunned to see him in the lift and so does he. He kept starring at me through the lift mirror even his business partners realised it because he didn't responds to them he just stands there starring... Well that was my story about this man I am not sure what he is doing now but he is such an intelligent man who study hard & work hard for his family.

Selangor Sultan to undergo open heart surgery

Selangor Sultan to undergo open heart surgery
By EDWARD RAJENDRA

SHAH ALAM: The Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah is scheduled to undergo open heart surgery at the Stanford University Medical Centre in Palo Alto, California.
The surgery would involve either the repair of a heart valve repair or a replacement for “mitral regurgitation,” depending on what the medical team decides when they begin the procedure.
Selangor State Secretary Datuk Ramli Mahmud said the valve surgery would be done under general anesthesia and would last for about five to six hours.
Mitral valve regurgitation surgery is recommended when a person’s ejection fraction -- a measurement of the heart’s efficiency -- drops below 60% and/ or the left ventricle is larger than 40mm at rest.
The ejection fraction can be used to estimate the function of the left ventricle, which pumps blood to the rest of the body.
Ramli said Sultan Sharafuddin, 63, will undergo the operation on Saturday. It would be carried out by two eminent medical professionals, Professor Dr Alan Yeung and Professor Dr Craig Miller.
Whether the surgery would involve repair or replacement would be the medical team’s call and would depend on the type of damage to the mitral valve, Ramli said.
Repair is more successful if there is limited damage to certain areas of the mitral valve flaps or to the tough fibres that control movement of the mitral valve leaflets. But replacement is usually preferred for people who have a hard, calcified mitral valve ring or widespread damage to the valve and surrounding tissue.
On Wednesday, Sultan Sharafuddin left for California from Singapore accompanied by his younger brother Tengku Indera Setia Selangor Tengku Ahmad Shah, Sime Darby Medical Centre Subang Jaya specialist doctor Datuk Dr Anuar Masduki, Datuk Pengelola Bijaya Diraja Selangor Datuk Zakaria Abd Rahman and Tan Sri Datuk Seri Syed Mohd Yusof Tun Syed Nasir, a Member of the Selangor Royal Assembly.
Private Secretary to the Sultan Datuk Mohamad Munir Bani said Sultan Sharafuddin has called upon Selangorians not to worry about his medical condition but to put it in prayer.
Ramli asked all places of worships to hold special prayers for Sultan Sharafuddin for a speedy recovery during his three-week recuperation period at the Stanford University Medical Centre.

I am feeling so sad when I read about this news. I hope everything will go well and my prayers goes to him at all times.
Sedih apabila mendapat tahu tentang keadaan Tuanku Sultan Selangor, semoga segalanya akan berjalan lancar dan saya akan mendoakan agar Tuanku akan cepat sembuh kerana ianya sangat bermakna.

HANDPHONES

I own one of these IPhone. Very convenient can actually download many things but the only setback is that you can't actually forward your smses. Talking about handphones I was one of the first few that used handphone when its first came out. My uncle until today kept mentioning it saying that 'Oh you are the first one who carries hadphone during those days" and he was proud of it!! hehehe...I remember having the bulky type of Motorola and its really heavy, before that we use to have this things call Pager, where people have to paged for you and get you to return call. The pager that I have was actually a Birthday present given by my good friend Mr Simon Lim at that time. I was so excited and he even include a special number for which end with 0388 which means "luck" in chinese I think... Then later when they started to introduce handphones and I actually paid S$2000 in those days by cash, well I didn't earned that much during those time but my ex-boyfriend was the one who bought it for me. And I remember while I was in a train I met one of my ex school mates Marini so while talking to her my cellphone actually rang and as I was digging my handbag to look for the handphone I could see the expression on her, she was staring at me and she was so surprised after knwoing that I actually owned a handphone. As in those days it was too expensive and no one can actually afford it except for businessman. Few days later one my the other friend called, telling me that Marini told her about seeing me carrying a handphone and she actually accused me of being a kept woman just because I owned a handphone isn't it crazy.!!

Now you can easily see almost anyone own a handphone some even have a few with different numbers it's so common now..

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY

There's a saying good people will end up with good people and bad people will end up with bad people...Its the same goes like bad people always seems to be getting all the bad influence while good people will always be getting the good one. It's all connected .... came from the heart on how sincere & genuine you are and how you want your life to be. Must remember God will always protect good people no matter what race or religion you came from as long as you do it with sincerity god will definitely be there for you. But if you do so many bad things towards people around you, you will definitely receive a retribution some day.

Orang yang baik selalu berpasangan dengan yang baik begitu juga dengan orang yang jahat akan berpasangan dengan yang jahat. Dalam al quran juga ada menyebut, sekiranya kita berlaku juju dan ikhlas serta baik budi perkerti insyaallah Allah SWT akan senantiasa menyelamatakn perjalanan hidup kita walaupun kadang kala kita harus menempuh pelbagai dugaan dalam akhir perjalanan sudah tentu punya kebaikannya. Dalam hidup kita kita yang harus menentukan perjalanan mana yang harus kita tuju yang baik atau yang tak baik kerana segala langkah yang kita buat akan menentukan nasib kita seterusnya. Kita juga harus berhati hati memilih kawan kerana manusia yang dijadikan oleh Allah SWT punya banyak jenis ada yang boleh menolong kita menjurus kepada kebaikan ada juga yang boleh menjuruskan kita ke jalan yang jauh tersesat dari itu kita harus bijak untuk membuat keputusan dan jangan lekas terpengaruh.

Choosing a Leader

Kalau kita melihat apa yang yang terjadi didunia ini sudah pasti ia sangat membimbangkan. Ramai yang ingin menjadi "Leader" but not sure whether they are capable. They seems to know how to talk & convince people but that doesn't mean they can really deliver. They making use of one another just to achieved they own agenda. Yang sedih nya rakyat yang akan menanggung segala beban sekiranya tidak berhati hati memilih kerajaan, kita harus berfikiran lebih luas kerana ianya hanya bukan untuk generasi dahulu atau sekarang ianya juga untuk generasi akan datang. Because we have to make sure that our rights are well protected. Hanya kerana berlainan pendapat dan ego ada yang sanggup bergaduh dan bermusuhan sesama sendiri ia sangat memalukan. Mungkin ramai orang melayu yang masih tidak sedar mereka masih lemah dalam segala hal dan mungkin mereka belum rasa erti kesusahan atau berada didalam jajahan lebih lebih lagi kaum remaja they are very fast to get influenced by those unresponsible people thats very sad. Nowadays the young generation feel they are smarter but the fact that they still need to learned on the truth about Real Life..

Kita tak mahu menjadi seperti negara lain yang umumnya mereka sudah dijajah and sekiranya nasi sudah menjadi bubur tidak guna lagi kita menyesal walau dengan airmata darah sekali pun.

Kaum melayu didunia ini tidak ramai and kita tidak boleh compare with bangsa lain yang sudah mencecah berbillion sekiranya berpecah ia akan menghanyutkan semua.

SEMPENA HARI KEPUTERAAN DYMM SULTAN JOHOR YANG KE 77 - DAULAT TUANKU

DYMM Sultan Iskandar Ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Ismail

WAITING FOR THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE

Everyone was wondering how come until today i am not married as I am reaching mid thirties, I have a reason why. I am actually waiting for that particular someone for many years now although I haven't really got the chance to date him out because of some reasons but I am sure he knows that I am waiting for him.. But for now I pray that we would be together one day. I know what stopping him at the moment but I hope he who is a leader would not just listen to any rumours or gossips before finding out the truth. I was upset because when i got to know him he was with someone and I was actually quite closed to his good friend at that time. Its all so complicated and honestly if i had known what future would be I would have avoid certain things. But he remains available and so am I, although rumours spreading that he has been seeing a lady but that will not stop me from hoping till someday when god says he is not meant to be mine I then stop hoping. Still I too has been going out with male friends but deep in my heart i have always wanted to be with this man. Because I think I have that quality to share my life with him. He came into my dream many times for the past years and most of the dream it's just like a story it is not that I think of him all the time that is why i feel my soul is so close to him.

I want to be the perfect wife for him something that most man would not have experience before that is why I keep all this qualities to the one that really deserves. Anyway as i said we plan but only god knows what is best. Amin...
