Quarterly Business Review

18 July 2013 is the date when I must presenting regular business review analysis in front of customer, or usually we call it 'Quarterly Business Review'. 

Doing business presentation was the very first time for me, not only the first time after I joined Cisco, but first time for me ever. Previously I was used to presenting limited materials that related to technical stuff in particular details. But now, I must presenting the tings in a bit wider scope.

Hence the contents are focused on high level operational perspective, that cover certain period of business time in quarter basis (every 3 months). To elaborate the data, I have raw data ready in hand, provided by my colleague in the region. At first, it seems that it is too difficult, as I have to convert and translate all the numbers into data and statistics. To be honest, dealing with numbers is one of my weakness ... For your information I just got D for my calculus in my collage, what a shame !

So, one week before the date ... I was very loaded with preparations, I just got one time opportunity to do one-on-one shadowing with my senior team member and one time dry run session with internal team, corrections-update, corrections-update, and bla bla bla ... Lesson learned here are, I need to improve my skills in terms of attention to details, to have better broad and deep understanding into a thing, last but not least excellent presentation and communication skill ...

Candlelight Ceremony


 
I am free like the wind
I live with our nature
I am strong like a wave in the ocean
Dreaming of being better person
I am powerful like an eagle
Flying through the sky


For so many days,
I trained and sweated hard, testing my salt
I have trained for this day,
I accomplished many long days of physical difficulties

I have developed both my body and mind
I am here at the beginning with my lovable disciples
Now I give them my body, mind and spirit
So this will be the tip of the flame of their life

I want them to know,
Why we stand up here today
Why we trained very hard for many days
Why we are here together and what our next goal is

Early morning in darkness
We prepared for this moment
With the lighting of the flame
We also lighting our new lives

We birth of the flame
We become newborn again
We have to be candlelight for our society
Like a beacon for others to see
We have to be like the tip of the flame

Welcoming Holly Month of Ramadhan 1434 H

2:183 

O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous -

2:184

[Fasting for] a limited number of days. So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then an equal number of days [are to be made up]. And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] - a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]. And whoever volunteers excess - it is better for him. But to fast is best for you, if you only knew.

 2:185

The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.

" As the holy month of Ramadhan finds you praying and fasting. Hope Allah answers your prayers and showers you with countless blessings "
