Pen Malaysia electricity (Max Demand) forecast (Part5) - My perspective

Again I write about my passion at work.

The forecast (Maximum Demand) growth for electricity sector. This will be my 5th posting on the matter. That shows the level of passion I have on the subject matter.

This time I give a historical figure.

CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) for MD in Peninsular Malaysia is 2.5% for the past 7 years.
CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) for MD in Peninsular Malaysia is 2.7% for the past 9 years.

The trend shows high electricity demand when the weather is hot on a lengthy period.

Weather is the main factor.

So my forecast for next year is

CAGR - 2.3% for the past 8 years
CAGR - 2.6% for the past 10 years

For people who are interested, go calculate for yourself.

Blogging in 2017

This year will be my lowest (in terms of numbers blog posting) since 2010.

Except for 2016, I have been posting above 40 postings annually.

This year, I take it very slow as I feel that I am aging and I need to slow down.

I am inspired by Vlog Aida Azlin (Singapore) and Vlog Sean Buranahiran (Thailand).  I think that they have done a marvelous work inspiring others.

So let me review what I have set for 2017:-

1. Maintain to be able to read Jawi
2. Able to hafaz from Surah Annas (114) to Surah AnNaziaat (79)
3. Harfiyah
4. Able to remember Asmaul Husna
5. Exercise twice a week
6. Read Quran 2 pages daily

I am still struggling with memorizing AnNaziyat.

5/6 (83%). A reasonable achievement for 52-year-old guy.

Anyway, time is what I have from Allah and time will be managed as long as we are aware that Allah is our Master and we are all slaves of Allah.

Ya Rabb... Guide me to your straight path

Aamiin

My 6th trip to New Zealand

My 6th trip to New Zealand is to attend

1. My daughter's graduation
2. My brother's graduation
3. Pay tribute to my late sister (Dr Zaidah Mustaffa)

I bought a second-hand bicycle and explore these sub-urbans of Auckland with Mauri names:

Mangere
Manukau
Onehunga
Otahuhu
Pakuranga
Papakura
Papatoetoe
Puhinui
Tamaki
Te Papapa
Takapuna
Titirangi
Wiri

Warm greetings from Auckland, NZ

Man Utd last 2 matches

Arsenal 1 Man Utd 3

I did not want to see the game as I am confident that it will end up in MU losing or a draw at best.

But some how I was awake at 2am when the game was at 30 min and checked that MU was leading 2 up. I quickly switched on the TV and saw the game until the end.

When the score was 2-1, I was very nervous. But when it became 3-1, I know that the game was won.

I have never felt nervous watching a football match than this game. My blood pressure when really high.

Nonetheless, congratulations to MU for winning away especially at Arsenal.

Man Utd 1 Man City 2

I did not watch this game as I was in Auckland during that match. The local time (NZ time) during kick-off was 6.30am Monday 11 Dec 2017.

Again I predicted MU lose or draw at best to a very good and fast Man City team.

MU lost. But so did Chelsea. While Arsenal and Liverpool both drew their matches.

All considered, 3 points from 2 difficult matches is good. Good to be 2nd in BPL (that is)   

Memorizing Surah An-Naaziaat

This year (2017) has been a slow year in terms of me writing my blog.

I believe that what I wanted to write, I have written and remind especially to myself.

I set up a target of wanting to finish hafazan on Surah An-Naaziaat (79 Surah).

It is December, and I have not been able to finish my target. This Surah has 46 ayat, the most ayat in a surah that I have to memorise. It is tough for a 52-year-old person. But I will try....

Ya Allah, please make it easy for me to memorise this Surah. I seek your blessings Ya Rabb
