'E-procurement'and 'computer networking' trainings at Prescott Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.







Sometimes when you least expected, the worse happen. My assistant was involved in a road accident, a week before my heavy schedule trainings that I have to conduct from middle of August till a week before end of August. I hope this explains my disappearance from blogging during the time.

Because of his unfortunate accident (I always pray he will get well as soon as possible), I have to do everything by myself from carrying 30 computers and notebooks, laserjet printers, LCD projectors and the rest of my training stuff from hotel to hotel and worse of all to lecture without an assistant. Fortunately, I was self trained to work hard when I started my small business years ago with very big determination.

The E-procurement class went surprisingly well with all the participants (mostly contractors and entrepreneurs) expressed very keen enthusiasm towards the subject matter and me perhaps, hehe. The Internet based subject was smoothly conducted especially with the ‘Izzipro’ that provides the connection. Towards the end of the class I taught them extra module (how to blog) and that was taken seriously by all the participants. We even made a pledge to make a community out of the class with En Bahar as the president and me as the advisor. I like the idea of community very much and I will put a link to their blogs once they are ready.

After the E-procurement training, I was given a new batch of participants to be trained in computer networking. The participants who were mostly from non-IT background were taught computer network in theory and practice both in cabling environment and wireless. They were all given a trip by monorail to the Low Yatt Plaza to familiarize them with computer network devices and suppliers there.

Although the trainings made me very tired, I am very happy and sense a close bond with all the participants. The trainings gave me and all of us another chapter of human and business networking. To all the participants, deep from the bottom of my heart, I pray for your success and thank you very much.

Hanafi, congratulation to the success of your workshop on IT. I know very well your feeling of satisfaction in the success of such an endeavor. One of my specialist was organizing Seminar and Workshop both local and International. It is indeed hard work but at the end of the day it is the satisfaction of organizing and meeting new friends that really count. I believe we should meet sometime and talk about this. Maybe I could still contribute in some ways in your future Seminar. Have a nice day and take care.

Dear Hanafi, I've just finished reading a few of your entries. I find them interesting and 'refreshing'. All the articles I have read give me the feeling that you are a sincere, honest and hardworking person. (By the way, I found your blog accidentally by searching for articles related to izzi the internet provider. I'm not very tech savvy so was looking for some tips on whether I should buy that or not). Anyway, I am a struggling businessman and I appreciate some tips you put out there for people like me (hopefully you don't mind a non Bumi reading them). Lastly, good luck and keep up the good work!

Pak Idrus,
What a surprise. It’s an honor that you drop by furthermore to leave a comment here. It will be a great pleasure for me to meet you in person and I seriously think your expertise will be highly appreciated to all of us. BTW happy belated birthday. Once more, your presence here means a lot to me.

Dear Yiat
Thank you for dropping by. I welcome anybody to my blog not just the Bumi. For me, we are simply Malaysian and can’t live without each other in this beautiful country. I have a Chinese best friend and lots of Indian friends too. Sincerely, I never think of our differences especially when we are having coffee at the ‘mamak’ or work out at the gym. About the ‘Izzi’, it is very new, so to say anything about it is too early but so far I have been quite happy using it. If you compare the cost with streamyx corporate edition (1mbps) to ‘izzipro’ the cost is approximately 4 times higher for streamyx. During my last training workshop in Prescott Inn that I personally conducted, 8 computers were connected to my wireless routers and 9 were cabled to additional hub with single ‘izzi’ line without any trouble. I guess ‘izzipro’ suits a small office like mine. Ok Yiat, nice talking to you and hope we can be friends.
