Remember Tsunami 2004?
From my friends who were initially involved in providing assistance to those affected by the tsunami,there is a lot of work in progress to get the people of Acheh to re-build their lives...When a disaster happens,many heroes will rush in,but after some time,only a few are left to do the balance of what need to be done.This world of ours has plenty of opportunities for anyone of us to do good to others.No need to go far;sometimes it is just next door or in our own kampung.
Yesterday,while browsing at a bookshop(which I usually do a few times in a week),I came upon this book with the title Higher Ground.Let me quote the following:
Higher Ground tells the stories of sixteen children,from different parts of the world,who lived through the 2004 tsunami.Best selling children's authors recount powerful tales of tragedy and fear but also of courage,hope and survival.
What lessons can we all learn from this great and devastating event?
Note: For details of the book,you can see the left side of my blog.
Pak Adib,
Man with tie photo, new layouts....fresh look for sure.
Ni better be getting headhunters looking for some experienced project manager like you, if not, for management seminars and more projects!
Ade kaitan dengan polling day ke ni?

Salam Tn.Hj.
Just realise of your new profile photo..... phoar..phew.. tambah handsome & terus awet muda''...Alhamdulillah.
This reminds me a story from a close friend I met a week ago. He said his new neighbour is Dato K & Dato CT.. They became close friends and Dato CT called him 'uncle' as she is of the same age as his eldest daughter. The friend said to Dato K that he does not mind Dato CT called him 'uncle' as he is as old as Dato K. But 'if you (Dato K) call me 'uncle'...hm...lebam mata beb..!!'
Just to cheer you up Tuan Hj. for the day...heh..heh..
Salam pd Mak Aji
