Final lap of my 2 series...

I first entered my 2 series in 2003, to be precise, 13 March 2003. That was the day I got my key of freedom, the beginning of a long journey for me on this earth. I was pursuing my final year diploma back then at Universiti Teknologi Mara Segamat when I first entered my 2 series era. The beginning of my journey was sweet as I am free to do things that I have always wanted to do but I still hold onto my religion beliefs and norms. That was the time where I was beaten up half dead by my college mate that has left behind a scary and unforgettable trauma for me; I have forgiven them but to treat them as my friend, never ever. 

The Journey of my last 2 series had just begun...and more to come along the way

First trial for me on my first day being 29 year old man. When a customer that promise you they are coming to test drive and pay booking for their new car and the fact is they are not coming after waited patiently for the whole day. Then got this sms, saying that the hubby already arranged other car for her to test drive. All I can say is no rezeki for me today and I accept it as part and parcel of my life as human in making my hall of fame in this world. Maybe some people around my age are already in their comfort zone, earning good money, drive good cars but as for me my journey is very long and full with winding turn hence I always stumbled on my own destiny. I don't regret for me leaving good pay job with secured monthly salary but the pressure doesn't paid well with my effort. This is what I call it CHALLENGE. People may think that I am stupid for leaving behind good and promising pay job but heck, I love sales and the brand. FULL STOP! Only Allah knows what's in my heart and how I feel right now. Mood: Faithful to Allah SWT. (Taken from my status posting at Facebook)

Dan Kisah Ku Yang Masih Panjang

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah,

Alhamdulillah, syukur ke hadrat Allah SWT kerana sekali lagi Fadhil diberikan peluang untuk menghirup udara di atas muka bumi ini serta berkesempatan menunaikan tanggungjawab Fadhil sebagai hamba Allah di muka bumi ini. Sedari atau tidak, kita sudah pun berada di penghujung bulan Januari. Begitu cepat masa berlalu dan Fadhil akan gunakan masa yang ada ini untuk mencari rezeki yang halal untuk Fadhil dan juga keluarga Fadhil serta meneruskan pencarian identiti sebenar Fadhil sebagai hamba Allah. Moga-moga sahabat handai Fadhil juga berada dalam lindungan Allah SWT. 

Reality in Life....And Are We Grateful Enough to Him?

Actually this was adapted from a message gotten from a friend of mine who is staying afar from me. How many of you perceived that people are leading a good lifestyle by looking at the type of car they drive, their clothing, where they eat and where they go shopping? I am sure that most of us are perceiving that way each time when we look at them. But actually, they are only looking at the surface but the reality is...... come and let see these situation...

Life Is Not Beautiful

I am writing in sorrow and depressed.

Where Is My Lost Part?

I have always perceived that I am no good as opposed to others. I whined, full with anger and even refused from joining the crowd simply because of inferiority complex that shrouded me. But then, I wonder, am I going to be like this for the rest of my life? Obviously I need to find the one that would differentiate me than others but where and how do I find it?

Assalam And Hello....

It has been a while since I last updated my blog. I have been extremely busy with works that I don't have time to update my blog. Anyway I am back in my world of blogging; where I speak out what lies in my mind to share with all of you out there. While I am typing this, I am actually preparing my reports as well as updating my to-do lists for tomorrow as tomorrow is the first day of the week hence I need to prepare myself for tomorrow. Albeit of me being busy, there are times where I stumbled onto my own emotions where things did not exactly meet my expectation that drove me to the dark side of my life. I felt like it was the end of my world but moment I woke up the next day, I am thankful to Him that He still gives me chance for me to move on although the turbulence is getting greater and greater by days. 

Last but not least, I hope that I will make it through to my desired goals some day. Till we meet again in this world of blogging, happy reading and happy blogging.

I Am Still Breathing and Moving on The Turbulence of Life on Earth

Last week was the first week of me at CIMB Bank Bukit Tinggi Klang. Although it is the same company but the circle of people inside it is totally different. I met different people with different characters which I had to start all over again just like how I did when I was at Shah Alam Auto Finance Center.

The Return of Fadhil Zhafri

I am back again in the blogging world. It has been a while since I last blogged back in January 2011. As usual, the lame old excuse would come into the picture; "Busy", "No idea" (errr...do I need to add more) hehhe.. anyway I am back now. Oops...before I go further, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my Chinese friends, bloggers, colleagues and others "Xinnian Kuaile, Gong Xi Fa Cai". Xinnian Kuaile means Happy New Year and Gong Xi Fa Cai means May Prosperity be with you (correct me if I am wrong my Chinese friends).

Anyhow, lets proceed with my blogging agenda. It has been three months since I left my glamorous, money making job (see this Fadhil Zhafri At Work) and I am now attached to one of the top player banks in South East Asia doing marketing in auto finance, I cant run away from automotive field as I love cars since I was a little boy and now I ended up with automobile field hehehe.... The job is not easy, but I enjoy every bits and minutes of doing it. It is a new experience, new phase of life and off course higher goal setting. Due to this I hardly do any posting in my beloved blog.

Well, I guess KL is very quiet today as most of the inhabitants have made their way back to their hometowns to celebrate the Lunar New Year (Chinese) and not to mention those who went for a long vacation. I could not believe that I only took 15 minuted to drive from Kg Tunku down to Bangsar Village where I am currently at now while doing this posting. Ahhh how I wish that KL can be this quiet like the good old days.... Bangsar used to be a hush resident area back in the 70's (My aunt used to stay here since 1975 till 2006). Ahhh sooo relaxing. Hehehehe wondering where will be at after this.

I am happy with what I have today, Alhamdulillah praise be upon Him for giving me the strengths to face all odds along the way. I am happy of miracles that happened around me (Allahuakbar!) and I am happy to see how I am progressing now. Although it will take sometimes for me to groom myself to be an exceptional marketing people but I am persistent that I will make it through with help of my colleagues, bosses and off course my whole family members. I am blessed to have a loving, beautiful wife for standing strong behind me throughout the the way while I climb up my career ladder.

Some people asked me why on earth I left my glamorous job being a sales executive? Again and again, I told them that opportunities only knock once and it will never knocks ever again. Hence when opportunity comes, take the chance and move on and have deep faith in Him and He will show you the way. I have to be strong and never look back. I know that I can do it. Why moved on because I want to expand my area of knowledge and experience and also building my career in the long run.

Why I am being persistent and optimistic? After watching a complete video "A Journey of a Three Pointed Stars". I am somehow amazed with the founder, the father of this legendary premium car brand namely Mercedes-Benz. Karl Benz wrote on a postcard with a sketch of his office with a three pointed stars logo shining on top of the roof of his office and he mentioned this to his wife who stayed hundreds mile away from Stuttgart "Ein Tag fährt dieser Stern fort zu glänzen, obwohl ich nicht mehr herum bin und mein Vermächtnis fortfährt…." (One day this star will continue to shine even though I am no longer around and my legacy will continue....) and because of that no matter what happen, I will move on irregardless of obstacles around me. Taking the father of Mercedes-Benz as my world idols (off course my all time idol would be Rasulullah S.A.W) I believe that I will make it through!

Recently, the company where my father used to work at contacted me to have a short interview with me about growing up as "Anak MMC" (refer to All About Me). I am not bragging but I am "Anak MMC". My siblings and I (except Fatin, I love u dik) were all born during my father's office service with MMC. I would be more than willing to share with them  my experience growing up as "Anak MMC". Actually, I had a fond memories growing up as "Anak MMC" and the most I remembered was spending my greatest childhood day at Batang Berjuntai. I still remember going swimming at the staff mess, chauffeured driven to school and big bungalows and off course getting myself inside one of the dredges during that time. Ahh those were the day.... growing up in the mining area. To me nothing beats like the good old days. Berjuntai Tin Dredging was once noted as the largest mining pool in the South East Asia where they had 9 dredges at one place.

Well, I guess that is all for now. Hopefully I will be in the mood again to do my next posting. But no matter what happened, I will move on and on just like how Karl Benz and his partner Gottlieb Daimler worked hard in upbringing Mercedes-Benz as leading premium brand throughout the world. I will always have the spirit of Mercedes-Benz inside me. Till then..... bye bye and have a nice long weekend.
