It’s been a year since I posted an entry with similar title . This year, so many thing has changed. Here’s the road so far and up ahead:

Target 1: to earn a 5-figure salary by 30 years old
- already earning half of target at the age of 25. good progress... but i just learned recently, salary is not everything, what are you working on is all that matters..

Target 2: to work on and do amazing things with my life
- is employed by google, currently attached to a project that deals with sophisticated infrastructure in the world. Looking forward for more challenges! :)

Target 3: acquires Pilot Private License (PPL) for single-engine airplane by 30 years old
- No progress yet, but should be able to reach target. Money almost enough, and physical to. I'm not planning anything of making this as my career. This is more a like a luxury hobby of mine (Didn't you notice I love to do anything different than typical?)

Does this quote sounds familiar to you?

"I hereby do solemnly swear, that I will support and defend the Constitution of Malaysia against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help me god"

Yea, this is modified version of US oath of citizenship (it is, isn't it?). I find the original somehow, very... strong. So I modified it to fits my own hearing and make it more meaningful to me.

Selamat Hari Kebangsaan! I am very proud to be Malaysian, and will do with all my wills to protect the peace and harmony we had had for the past 52 years!

(please don't ask why I don't use our national language typing about national day. I just want those who don't read malay understand this, if there is any.. ;) )

Regards,
Izuardi (a proud Malaysian)

OK, rasanya aku tak pernah blog pasal hari aku keluar bershopping, tapi harini aku nak blog juga, simply because aku terserempak dengan mamat-mamat ni di center court The Curve tepat jam pukul empat petang tadi:

Haha, yeah. Memang ganas diorang ni bergaduh, tapi nasib baiklah bukan bergaduh betul-betul. Ni la persembahan demo silat cekak Hanafi.

Kenapa aku post - kerana aku adalah...:

Finally, after a very long recruitment process (longest in my life I guess), I was officially offered an engineer position in Google Singapore, a network/server/hardware related position.

Congratulation Izuardi! You have made the most important hiring process for this region and officially win yourself the first hire from Malaysia title.
