Its frustrating gilerrrrrr....

I am at the training centre at KnowledgeComm in PJ. This is the last day of a 4 day session on Crystal Report IX- Report Design Fundamental and Business Reporting Solutions. I wanted to learn and gain new knowledge as I am needed to create reports. I didn't put a high expectation towards the training. As long as I can digest and comprehend what its all about then that would be great! Well 1st day itself ... I am like "what the heck" ... and then second day same thing ... 3rd same thing and today .. I am so pissed off at the trainer. I have never raised my voice to a trainer before. This is the first and I hope the last. Okay .. you're not a BusinessObjects trainer or maybe not even a Crystal Report Certified Professional etc ... okay I understand but the least you could do is come prepared for the training! This is what I and other trainee observed:

1. Training material was only given after morning break which was around 10++ am.
   
2. Poor communication skills. He did not guide us properly through the training materials.
3. Do not follow sequence of the training materials. He jumps from one section to another.
4. Could not provide satisfactory answers to questions. All he says if he can't handle the situation is to walk away from you or say "I'll get back to you on that" .. which he doesn't.
5. Gives incorrect answers/input when enquired. E.g I asked whether we can change report template if we have already completed the report and we don't want to use the current one . So can we change the template w/o having to redo the report. You know what he answered .."No can not .. you have to redo" .. Kamal Najib was like "HUH?" and I'm like "What?????". After the trainer moved on ... Kamal showed me where to change the template w/o redoing the report. Boddow or not this trainer??? Comprehend my question or not????Even if I talk in Manglish also .. sure you can understand ...
6. Do not guide us with the Practice section and we ended up not understanding how to solve the questions.
7. Do not use teaching and learning facilities .. like .. Projectors .. or show us one by one on screen.
8. I was able to find solution while he was tinkering away on his notebook trying to solve questions.
9. Show us non workable solutions which led me and my collegues to be frustrated and upset!

I'm going to give a very bad feedback after the end of this training. I want another replacement training.. farrah said if I'm not satisfied .. they'll slot me in another training session FOC. Yeah ... I want that and hope I won't get the same trainer.

DUKE >> DUKE>>DUKE

I'm surprised that the journey from my office in Gombak to Jln 19/1, PJ .. took only 30minutes.
No traffic jam .. the journey was smooth and no traffic lights!!! heheheh.
7.48 am ...arrived aroun 8.20 am! Now thats cool.

Its the first time I used DUKE to travel to PJ... nice really nice .. tp 2 kali kena toll lah..
1st on DUKE and then I used the Kerinchi Link... sepatutnya boleh keluar di INTAN .. go to section 16 and straight to Jln 19/1... but there was a long queue so I opt for Kerinchi link ... exited at LDP ... and then straight to Jln University ... travel to Jln 19/1.. longer route but still i don't have to wait in queue (Thats the objective .. No long queues)

Well .. now waiting for 2 more trainees to come and we'll start with 2nd session of Crystal report IX training ... ciao!

A reminder

"Wahai
orang² yang beriman! Jika datang kepada kamu seorang fasiq membawa
satu
berita, maka selidikilah (untuk menentukan) kebenarannya, supaya
kamu
tidak menimpakan sesuatu kaum dengan perkara yang tidak diingini -
dengan
sebab kejahilan kamu mengenainya - sehingga menyebabkan kamu
menyesali apa
yang telah kamu lakukan."

(Surah Al-Hujrat
: 6)

Miejr sent this email but how many of us really comprehend the verses.
Ambil lah iktibar dan selidikilah sesuatu sebelum buat assumptions dan
menuduh sesuatu secara membuta-tuli. Assumption and allegations w/o
facts are the mother of all f***k ups (ayat gaban) or screw-ups (ayat proper).

I know for a fact because I did it too and all hail broke loose. It was a lesson learned. So now i've become wary and careful when talking to people (even those who are close to me). Not to assume things and judge people based on one side. I try to listen to both and deduce. This goes with the reshuffling exercise too. There are irresponsible person(s) who tries to disrupt the exercise and thinks negatively about everything.

hmm ... its been ages

Alahai .. when was the last time I saw a movie by myself?hubby?sis or friends?
Its been 2 years. Asyik beli cd cetak rompak or download from internet. I really .. really wanna go but then I'd feel guilty because I'd be leaving my children (4 yrs old and 4 months old) at home with my mom. Hmmm what movies am I doing to see??

1) Confession of a shopaholic
2) Terminator Salvation
3) New Moon
4) Harry Porter and the Half Blood Prince
5) Angels and Demons

Hmm first thing first .. its just my wish list .. i doubt i'll have a chance. So, I'll wait for doris to post her moview reviews in koddox.blogspot.com.

haiyaaaaaa .... *mengeluh* ... just wait for pirated cd or the cd itself comes out. But confirm .. when my hubby comes home in September .. I am dragging him to watch a midnight movie lah... I don't care.. we'll put ayman and naureen to sleep and then go to KLCC and have a great time watching movie .. * I wish *

SWINE FLU PANDEMIC

Here's excerpt from MSNBC 30/4/2009:

Happy Birthday to me !!!!

Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday to me!

I am officially 31 years old on the 12th of September 2006.

The best birthday present was a call from Saudi at 11.30 am wishing me Happy Birthday! I almost cried .. *sigh* getting emotional again. He said "Happy birthday Liza .. your as old as I am". Well not really Arshad, you are older than I am .. 3 months older to be exact.

Hmmm... I am really contemplating of going to meet my hubby. I miss him a lot...Matta fair is just around the corner .. no harm in browsing for tickets ...right? It is quite expensive .. I know that ... an air ticket will set me back around 2 500 to 3 000 K. That is excluding the expenses. Hmm so what should I do? Wait till next year in June? Or come December ... I'll go there for a break...

Dilemma .. dilemma .. dilemma .. rindunyeeeee ...

Rudolph the red nose reindeer

Two days back, I received a call from my mom at home while I was working at the office. She said Naureen fell from the bed. To make it worse mom said she flew from the bed!!! I was imagining the worse (*&(&@#&))*@!))* .. in my mind was an image of naureen jumping and flying of the bed and landed straight --> head first to the floor. I screamed .. WHAT HAPPENED??????? Oh you come to the tuition centre and see for yourself .. your daughter's nose is swollen and red. Aiyaaaaaaaa ... and i asked anythin broken?? what about her head??? Mom said "I think she's fine..she's screaming in the background asking for something ..." So I thought hmm .. maybe its not that bad .. mom tends to exagerate sometimes .. swollen???? nahhh...... That evening when I arrived ... my daughter was screaming and yelling to get to me and there it was .. swollen nose!!! Felt like laughing because the whole tip of her nose was swollen and red but then it must have been painful.. very very painful. So I picked her up and started singing " Rudolph the red nose reindeer .. Na na na na na na na" She smiled and laughed and sang with me .. "na na na na na na na". *Sigh* my 1++ year old daughter. Getting mischievous and naughty by the day..and how I love her ..going to work everymorning is like dragging oneself to the gallow. I would rather be at home taking care of her than go to work. But then .. who is going to pay the bills maaa ..???? so work loh!!!

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Play in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say (Ho Ho Ho)
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then all the reindeer loved him
And they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history!"
