2006 New Year Resolutions

Without fail, many people make new year resolutions. After the year ends, some achieve them and some, otherwise. Here are my resolutions for the year 2006 A.D.
RESOLUTION #1
To persevere with earning a living from the internet and to make as much money as possible, for my family's future and well-being.
RESOLUTION #2
To pay more attention to my daughter's needs, especially her studies, homework and language skills. She needs to improve her grasp of her mother tongue and to learn and understand the meaning behind more words and sentences, both in Malay and English.
RESOLUTION #3
To make my body fitter and overall, more healthier. I want to get a suitable bicycle as soon as possible and start on a daily exercise routine. My tummy needs to be trimmed and, if possible, I want to attain or try to get near my ideal body weight.

In a year's time, we will see how they go, okay!

I Won.

One of my hobbies is to enter write-in contests that are organised all the time.

Over the past years, I have managed to win many prizes in over 40 contests, mostly small prizes and rarely cash. These prizes range from a washing machine and a portable telephone, to t-shirts and CDs. This changed in 2005...

In late 2004, I answered an e-mail internet survey organised by www.cari.com.my and I forgot all about it. Then, one day in February 2005, out of curiosity, I put the words "Akram Mohamad winner" as keywords in a google search. Much to my surprise, there was a find and when I opened the link, I was astonished and overjoyed to find out that I had won a first prize in the CARI internet suvey. I received RM500 (USD131.58) cash!

Soon after that win, I bought a couple of 4 digit numbers and one of them turned out to be the first prize. I had won another RM2500 (USD657.89) ! I was overjoyed! I did not spend the money, but used most of it to settle my Citibank bank loan. I know gambling is evil and some religions prohibit it. For these reasons, I have recently vowed not to gamble anymore and waste precious money that can be put to good use elsewhere. Dear God, please forgive me...

I will be entering more contests, as I normally do, and hope to win many, many more prizes...May Lady Luck smile on me in 2006!

Memories Of 2005

2005...oh what a year! I started the year by co-organizing the VI batch of 1981-1983 new year luncheon on Sunday, 2nd January, at the VIOBA clubhouse. Around 50 people turned up. We certainly had a swell time catching up with old times, while renewing acquaintances. Among those who attended this gathering include Bazlan, Uzer, Mus Kamal, Badrul, Rezal, Dr. Burhan, Jefrey Ismail, Dr. Sokhini, Sean Oon, Nithi, Sivabalan, Chee Loke, Kim Yihe, Vy Sing, Zaidy Ahmad, Leong Kok Keong, Jeffrey Low, Razali and Chong Yoke. At that time, I was personally having financial difficulties and all of them contributed some funds to help me ease my cash crisis. Thanks you guys!

The following day saw a spontaneous act. After being pissed off by one foul-mouthed guy, I resigned abruptly from the post of executive of VIOBA (Victoria Institution Old Boys' Association), only to retract back my hasteful decision two days later. Thank you, Sean, for putting back some sense into my head and thanks, Andrew, for accepting me back.

In May, I received an offer from my ex-VI classmate to work with his construction firm. After much consultation and soul-searching, I decided to accept his offer to work and commenced work on 20th June. The office location was at USJ21 and it was very far from my home, but I persisted. However, things turned sour when the company began to experience cashflow trouble, where I was forced to take a long no-pay leave from work. It culminated with my resignation when I was offered to work at a corporate training specialist doing marketing. Things were very difficult at the new place of work as I have to secure jobs for the company, which I did not carry out successfully enough. I was terminated from the company when I failed to reach preset sales targets. My last day of work was on the 24th October, a week before Hari Raya Aidil-Fitri.

Naturally, I celebrated Hari Raya with mixed feelings as I no longer command a steady job. Anyway, beginning March, I was invited to take part in an internet scheme that promises to make those who join a lot of money. I accepted the invitation on a part-time basis and ever since then, never looked back. Now, I make a decent living from the internet. I am my own boss, set my own working hours, decide how much I want to pay myself and, as a result, freed from all the stress, tension and problems related to working with a company. Thank you, God, for opening my eyes to this new exciting money-making opportunity and now I call myself an INTERNET FREELANCER!

Canaries Chalk Up Fourth Successive Win

Well done, Canaries! A resurgent Norwich City FC scored a 2-1 home win against high-riding Burnley at Carrow Road. Goals came courtesy of Simon Charlton and Darren Huckerby. The Canaries are climbing the English Championship table and is poised to grab a place in the play-offs.

Back to the EPL, Chelsea won again. So did The Kop, who beat their Merseyside rivals, Everton, 3-1 in a derby, notching their ninth consecutive victory. Manchester United stumbled to a draw, while Arsenal also tasted victory. Spurs lost, while Wigan won.

Matches were played on 28th December, 2005.

Thumbs Up To "University Incorporated"

Here is an article that I wrote and was published in The Star, a local Malaysian daily newspaper on Monday, February 19, 1996.

The quality of education in local universities had been much talked about over the past decade. Much had been said about the quality of local graduates which can be improved with proper commitment, planning and funding.

With these in mind, the Government has taken steps to overcome problems inherent in local universities by introducing the concept of corporatising the universities.

I support this move.

Firstly, the inevitably higher fees imposed will inject much needed funds into the universities' coffers. This will help upgrade many facilities found wanting and make available the non-existent ones.

More experienced and effective lecturers and researchers can be brought in to improve education and research. However high the fees will increase, they will still be lower than most places in the world.

Secondly, when the universities have already acquired the required expertise in education and, particularly, research, both local and foreign companies will be more willing to sponsor research in the infinite field of knowledge and, perhaps, "go where no man has gone before".

Thirdly, when the quality of local universities has improved, the Government need not send too many students overseas in search of quality education. Parents will also not hesitate to send their children to local universities. When this happens, the increased competition for places will result in higher quality applicants being accepted and educated.

Furthermore, more universities should be built to absorb the demand for tertiary education. When this has been achieved, the Government can greatly reduce the number of students being sent overseas, thus saving funds.

Let's support the idea of "University Incorporated"!

It has been almost a decade since I had this article published. The fees of local universities may have risen, but the same could not be said about the quality of local graduates. At this point of time, many Malaysian graduates are unemployed. Some cannot get employment simply because they lack communication skills and the ability to speak English well. Something has to be done by all concerned parties before this sad situation gets out of hand.

The Power Of Prayers

When was the last time you prayed? I have just finished my dawn prayers and I was inspired to write a thing or two on this important matter. No matter what is your age, race, colour, creed or religion, one has to pray. Prayers perform miracles and help your sanity in this material world and rat race. I pray at least five times daily and they help me remember who I am. Never allow all that wealth, power and high positions fool you to believe that you could do anything without praying. Prayers are for our souls as to food to our body. It helps us realise that we are just normal human beings subject to the ups and downs in life. You will find out that after you have prayed, you become more peaceful, more tranquil and less tense. You do not have to pray 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! Make it a daily habit and you will find that it helps you relax your body and soul and put all your tensions, worries and pressures away for awhile. Many get inspired from prayers to do good things and rarely that one pray to carry out evil deeds. The soul needs prayers and I hope all of you pray, even if a bit. Pray, and your prayers will certainly be heard. Don't be too proud, too lazy or too busy to do it. Pray now, and you will understand what I am trying to get across....!

My VI days

VI stands for Victoria Institution. It was established in 1893 to commemorate Queen Victoria, then queen of England. I spent five memorable years in VI from 1977 to 1981. As I went through my primary education in five instead of six years, I was normally the youngest in all classes that I attended in VI. I was an all-rounder. I did not make a mess in my studies and concentrated in every lesson. My teachers were wonderful and superb. Some of whom I still remember until today inculde Mr. Saharain Noordin, Mr. Jeyaratna and Mrs. Chong Hong Chong. I performed moderately well in my 1979 SRP form three public examinations, but made a success in my 1981 SPM form five examinations where I attained 7 distinctions. For the uninitiated, SPM is the equivalent of the British GCE ordinary level examinations. I was active in the Art Club where I last held the post as its pro-tem chairman. Art was something fun and I was quite creative, learning a lot and even managed to win VI's civics society cleanliness campaign poster making contest back in 1981. What I could not forget was organising the painting contest for the whole school. I was a Junior Librarian from 1979 until 1980 where I held the posts of honorary secretary, display chief and editor. To Prem, Zul, See Ye, Faizal and many others, many thanks for making my stint at VIJLB a truly memorable and successful tenure. Who would have expected that our selling of second hand books would hit four figures? The profits from the sale really made our year and helped 1980 to become VIJLB's golden year where many physical and management improvements were introduced. I was also active in Rodger house, which I represented in many activities. What I remember vividly is being involved in the inter-house English debates where I was the third speaker. We managed to make it to the finals, but lost. As for sports, I played a variety of them, which included soccer, rugby, basketball, swimming, roller-skating, hockey, athletics, but my favourite game was softball. I represented VI in softball from 1978 until 1981. I could not forget the long hours of traning on the huge VI green. It kept me in shape and my body became an average teenager's built after being a bit overweight in my earlier years. In 1981, I was in the VI softball first team which destoyed St. John's Institution, our arch-rival, in the final of the Kuala Lumpur finals. I played left-fielder, made some catches and even scored a few runs. How victory smelt sweet at that time! VI...you will always be in my mind. Thank you for making what I am today.

The Need To Be Thankful

When was the last time you were thankful? Being thankful for whatever we possess plays an important role in our attitude and outlook in life. Remember the guy who complained that he had no shoes until he saw others without feet? Everybody has ambitions. Everybody wants success. And everbody wants a comfortable life. But not everyone achieves that. I wanted to become a doctor, but ended up being a banker. I am thankful because it opened different doors for me. Not rich? Don't frown as millions of the planet's population live in famine, poverty and without a roof over their heads. Be thankful of what we have! The sooner we do that, we would not be under stress thinking of what we do not have. Sure, all of us work towards our individual goals. Success in this world is only temporary because if you believe in the Hereafter, life there is eternal...

Canaries Tame Blades

My favourite English soccer team, Norwich City FC, did the unexpected when they beat high-riding Sheffield United away 3-1 in The Championship. The Canaries scored courtesy of McVeigh (32nd min.), Ashton (61st min.) and an own goal by the Blades' Morgan (70th min.). Norwich were down by a Jagielka goal (21st min.), but overturned the deficit later. Well done, my boys! Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal all won their games. It will be interesting to see if any team can overhaul The Blues for the 2005-2006 EPL title.

Tsunami Remembered

Welcome to AKRAM's Universe! This is my virgin post in the world of blogging. Today, a year had passed since the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami ripped apart shores of countries around the Indian Ocean. Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Sri Lanka were among the countries which saw waves up until 10 metres high and which travelled at 800 kilometres per hour. Over 200,000 innocent lives perished in the worst ever natural disaster in recorded history. And until today, many are still rebuilding their lives. The Tsunami is the hand of God. It is a way of letting us know who is The Almighty. Calamities and catastrophes come and go, but God is still The One. What can we learn from all this? When disaster strikes, if we are still alive, then it is by the grace of God, The Creator. Human beings are just one of His many creations. All living things will eventually die. But God is The Eternal.
