Farewell To Azlee

Last Thursday, we bid a small farewell to our colleague, Azlee who has decided to resign and go back to his hometown to be with his family.

We wish you all the best and hope he enjoy a happier life over there.

Goodbye Atikah

Today, we sent another daughter to boarding school. This time, our eldest, Atikah registering into form 4 and she is taking Electrical Engineering.....as the proverb says "where the gravy falls, if not onto rice"..chewahhh, hehehehe.

Their two younger brothers however seem to be 'happy' with the current situation, I think. They will 'inherit' the two sisters' bunk single bed, Samsung SGH D-600 and Motorola V3 plus two ipod nano 4GB for their use while the sisters are away.

We miss the two of them. It was quite a tough time for us to depart with two elder daughters at one go, the elder in Cheras and the second one in Seremban. One thing for sure, we gonna have busy weekends ahead, for the next five years at least.

Bapak and mak wish both of u good luck with your new environment, study hard and be good always.

Registration Process

Ayah Chik was there too (who said he attended job interview???)

Adlina is in TKC now

Just can't believe it....yesterday she was a little girl and tonite she won't be with us anymore. She has to learn to be independent...doing all the chores by herself. No more internet, no more handphone and sms, no more Astro...she has to sacrifice many-many things in her life for the next five years. As her father, I am going to miss her a lot.

Study hard, Nina....bapak and mak will always pray for your success.

Al-Fatihah

Allahyarham Zulkifli Ahmad, my friend and ex-senior in RMC (81-82, B, Ex-SUO) died in Taiping this afternoon. He was 43. Semoga Allah cucuri rahmat ke atas rohnya dan ditempatkannya dikalangan orang-orang yang soleh. Al-Fatihah.

Last Day in Subang

Yesterday was my last day working in Subang. My last three days with the company were quite hectic as i have to help my boss to organize an air carnival which ended yesterday. It was a colourful seven months in a real aviation environment. Thanks to everybody there, especially to my boss. Hope to see u all again in future, insyallah.

Farewell to Jaime, Azhar and Zul

Jaime M. Montesines

Jaime's contract has already expired last Sep. He has been in Malaysia since 1997 since the construction of KLIA and joined Sapura Defence in Oct 2001. He has been involved in various projects related to Air Traffic Management Systems and has assisted our company in various proposals and tender submissions. A hardworking man who works above and beyond what is required of him. He blends well with all kings of personalities in workplace and was always sincere, polite and helpful to others. One thing special about him, he plays guitar very well...like Freddie Anguilar and he taught me 'Anak'.

Azhar Che Ri

I first knew Azhar when we were working together in RMAF Butterworth in year 2000. A soft spoken man but hardworking, same like Jaime. He resigned from SD and chose to concentrate in his own business in Tanjung Malim.

Zulfadzly Abdul Hamid

Zulfadzly has been working as the Site Supervisor in SD Kerteh. Joined SD in Oct 2001 as System Engineer in KLIA and later transfered to Kerteh Airport as the Site Engineer. A happy go lucky person but hardworking. He has assisted our company to ensure the delivery of Project ATCS in Kerteh could be completed in time.


To Jaime, Azhar and Zul, thank you for your support and friendship for the last four years. I wish you all the best in your future careers.

Farewell Lagi

Apa nak jadi dengan kompeni ni. Sorang demi sorang dah angkat kaki. Lepas Mazia, Kaas, Aiman and Zaifu, kali ni Mej Shuhaimi pulak. Macam kapal nak karam.

Mej Shuhaimi mula aku kenali pada tahun 1993 semasa sama-sama bekerja dalam satu ofis di Mindef dulu. Dia tak pernah mementingkan protokol dan pangkat dan sangat praktikal. Tak perlu presentation panjang berjela, tak perlu report panang-panjang....straight forward ajer. Short and sharp. Asalnya pun sama tempat dengan aku, Ipoh. Aku hormat dia sebagai abang dan seorang yang senior dalam service, baik semasa dalam TUDM dulu mahupun di Sapura. Dia jugak pelopor kepada kompeni aku sekarang dengan business yang dibawaknya. Dia jugak yang bertanggungjawab membawa aku masuk ke dalam kompeni bertuah ni.

Aku tak pasti sebab sebenar mengapa dia nak berenti, tapi aku percaya impaknya pada kompeni dan pada diri aku especially, bukannya kecik. Apapun, aku ucapkan selamat maju jaya, semoga Allah murahkan rezeki di luar sana.

Dalam banyak-banyak hal, aku cuma terasa ralat satu perkara aja....aku tak berkesempatan bekerja directly under dia. Aku mintak maaf, Mi. Maybe next time, insyallah ;-)

Aku dah penat kasi farewell kat orang, so....lepas ni giliran siapa pulak?

Selamat Jalan Romeo

Maziah's gone, Kaas's gone, Aiman's gone and this time we bid another farewell to our dearest friend, Zaifu. Zaifu joined SD in 2002 from Ericsson. I can still remember when he came for the interview with a drip syringe still stuck on his hand. He was actually warded in a hospital at that time when our HR called him and he requested a special clearance from the doctor to attend the interview. Unfortunately, he 'failed' the interview simply because I felt that he was over qualified compared to the job that had been offered. I later referred him to another suitable department according to his experience and qualification. Two years later, he was eventually transferred back to my department and had the chance to work together. Other than work, Zaifu has been with me in many other 'extra-curricular' activities, eg taking part in the 10km runs, weekly jogging sessions, TTS, mengulau and also karaoke session with me and my wife. Coming from the same home-state, he calls 'Yeop' which make me feels like an elder brother to him.

He is still single and hunting for his real love. Zaifu has always been a good friend to most of us in SD. This is proved by the number of farewell functions that have been organised for him... the first one was the official one from the company last Friday, yesterday we had a pre-farewell lunch at 'Big Plate @ Baywakwatch' and lastly at Cozy Restaurant Alamanda Putrajaya this evening.

Afu, thanks for everything. I also owe you many many things which I cannot mention them one by one here...."Biarlah Rahsia..."

We wish u the very best of luck in your future carreer with your former employer, Ericsson. We surely gonna miss u. Keep in touching and don't kill the animal bcoz the animal can kill u too, OK?

Tinggal kenangan - my 3 running buddies... all gone!

Kehilangan

Teman stayback malam dah tak de. Aku rasa semua yang bernama Kamarul ni suka stayback kat opis malam-malam...agaknya sesuai dengan namanya (Qamar = Bulan). Maybe we work better under the moonlight. Wallahualam. Soon, another "Qamar" will be leaving us...tinggal la the one and only.

Farewell Bro

Another friend is leaving us for a greener pasture outside. Today is KAAS last day in office. First met him in 2002 when i joined the company and became closer when we shared the same office room in 2004. Other than having the same first name, we share many other things (....including problems) in common ;-)

To bro KAAS, I wish u good luck in your new job. Thank you for all you support to our dept (SATMS) and also personally to me, especially when we organized LIMA 05 together. Enjoy your new job and keep in touch.

Farewell to Mazia

Mazia, our HR Exec, will be leaving our company, SD on 2nd May 2006 (the day i celebrate my 4th anniversary working in SD). If I am not mistaken, she joined SD sometime in 2003 and her 'cubicle' was right in front of me. Basically she's a quiet person but sometimes she would 'mix' with others when there were 'hu-ha' in the office, especially during the last hour before going home. At this point of time, i m still not sure where and why she decided to leave us...but one thing for sure, it must be for a better place (and pay???) hehehe.....

To Maziah (if u can read this), i and my dept would like to thank you for all your support and co-operation during your stay in SD, especially when involving training. Thank you also for your support in almost all social and sport events in the company, especially the 10km races that we have been participating together with other colleagues.

We wish u all the best in your carrier and life.

Farewell Encik Din

Encik Nordin Bustamam (standing left), the Kerteh Airport Manager is retiring from Petronas on this coming 1st May 2006. He was an Air Traffic Controller from the Department Of Civil Aviation Malaysia in the 70's before joinning Petronas.

En Din, if u can read this, I would like to wish u happy retiring. I personally, will always remember all your kindness to me for the last two years. You have been like a father to me all these while (and you have the same name as my father too!). I hope you will be in good health and enjoy what you are going to do after retiring....especially flying your model aircraft :-) What else can i say other than THANK YOU!
