A Blessed Year Indeed...

Salam...

I have been ignoring this place for sometimes now... I made few pit-stops here, just to go and visited other friends' blogs, clicking their links away... and yet, too hesitant to write my own thoughts and stories...

Just to recap on this year's journey (Salam Awal Muharram 1432 and Happy New Year 2011 in advance), I would say Alhamdulillah, overall it's been a good and blessed journey for myself, and to the others too, Insya Allah...

• I finally got to perform my umrah early this year, and hope I can come back soon to perform my Hajj, Insya Allah...
• In terms of career, I am no longer zoned in the place that I called hell... I had the opportunity to change to a new place early of the year and Alhamdulillah, I'm happy to be where I belong...
• My recent assessment: I performed above average, Alhamdulillah... yeay! more bonus to come, maybe??? hahaha, yeah right!
• Me and MAM sealed a deal to get ourselves a brand new place, it may not look luxurious to some people, but money well- spent, Insya Allah...
• AZA has blossomed to be a healthy and bubbly boy... he has quite extensive vocabularies for children of his age... love every bits of him...
• MAM got few new projects, he seems a bit hectic but he's good in managing those... Good for you, B... LU2eM!
• EQ- wise: I think I've improved my patience level, I made doa to Allah often, and try to forgive people... Insya Allah...

and the list continues... but these are among the most significant ones to me. In essence, let's work harder for our betterment for the coming new year... Most importantly, let's be better in performing our duties to Allah... after all, He decides what we succeed and what we not...

Allah bless!

Alhamdulillah...

Salam,

Just finished a session with my boss... they were having managers' meeting on year- end assessment this morning. I don't really know what I'll be getting (between 1 - 5, 5 is with significant impact), but my boss discussed what are the feedbacks given from other managers about me...

Basically, they see great potential in me... how? they are voting my name to lead my team in this one particular project.

But I am not just happy for that, I am just happy because I feel that I belong here... Alhamdulillah. Thank you Allah for the opportunity.

What Happened in Phuket...

Salam...

This year's staff day (of current dept) was the last one for me since I'll move to a new dept next week (wef 15 March 2010)... this year's was in Phuket, Thailand...
I visited Phuket 2 years ago with MAM and AZA, but this year it was sure a crazy one... a few incidents happened...

Among others, a 'shemale' showed me and my friend, Af her 'I-sudah-potong' part... nope, not to us, but she showed her friend and we were there accidently, wrong place at the wrong time... talk about the shock of our lives! she was kinda excited, just lifted up her sundress, with no seluar kecik inside... Imagine that!!! We were stunned, and looked at each other and laughed hysterically... gila! Ini macam pon ada!

dunia... dunia...!

On Mak's Birthday & Elation

Salam...

This has past its deadline, I know... But things at the office has been stricting the freedom to blog, tell stories etc... but I'll just blog!

On Feb 14th, we celebrated mak's birthday at the restaurant (a surprise one)... I was in- charged of the deco and the invitations... As the pix tells, I managed to coerced lelaki2 itu to do the decorations... I loved the feelings... having total control of the place and watched mereka itu membuat kerja perempuan... hahahah...

The invitees were all my relatives and some of mak's friends... overall it was successful... mak was home- alone the whole day, (she told my nenek she was crying teringatkan my late dad and the children's whereabouts--- we were bz at the restaurant decorating) and the next thing, my brother Z*** was in- charged to divert her attention of coming to the restaurant to begin work...

nampak kan I berkuasa, when I was only taking pix...

guests were anxious waiting for mak

Tadaaaa... Surprise!!!!!!

Alhamdulillah... happy birthday, mak! I love you to bits! Thanks for all the things that you've sacrificed to make me of what I am today... We have our disagreements sometimes (yup, sampai skarang... bila laa nak berubah ni roz!) but that never changed anything, my love towards you...

Semoga Allah memberi keberkatan yg berlipat ganda pada mak, Insya Allah...

On another note, I am so *boing*boing* on the clouds today... Finally, I have heard the good news myself, with supporting evidence from the rightful party (this one refers to my prev entry)... yeay! Alhamdulillah... I am over- excited, looking forward to it... isk, sedih pon ada gak...

Here's the proof...

Thanks Ya Allah... may this new path is going to be one smooth sailing adventure and happier... amin...

Yes or No? You Tell Me...

Salam...

Dah nak hampir sebulan dah aku attend *benda*tu... by right I have gotten the result by now... Tapi kenapakah takde sampai sekarang? Yang tak bestnya, semua org (yg ada cable dalam laa) seems to know the result ahead from me, yang aku sendiri pon tak tau dari pihak yg berkenaan... So, camana nak react? suka? tak suka?

*still kena disclose lagi kejadian yg benar2 berlaku, utk mengelakkan salah faham... sorry ye...

Official Result...

Salam...

ni bukan ulasan perlawanan bola semalam (MU vs MAS)... aku pon taknak ulas team 'setan merah' biasa2 tu... sangat tak tersentuh dorang tu kalau ditengok barang sejam dua, gaji jek over 2 sampai ampat ribu pound! Wow! - Husin Lempoyang

This one refers to the result of the job interview that I had last 2 weeks (ke lebey?) I Didn't get it! Sedih tu mmg sedih, but what can you do pon, it's fated... redha jek laa... probably there's more exciting things waiting for me along the way, Insya Allah...

semalam jugak saya telah mendapat tiket concert 1 Wajah M.Nasir secara percuma untuk mengubat hati yg luka... bukan 1 tapi 2... akan ku pergi melepaskan ke'frust'an aku di situ...
OK, signing off... nak pegi beli kain batik lepas satu... Nusantara kan? Feel kena ada...

p/s: Bila laa batu atas kepala ni mau turun? sakit laa dey!

Kecut Perut

Salam...

OMG, they called me up yesterday... on Sunday! What kind of people goes to work on Sunday???
errrkkkk, HR people!
They told me to come for an innerview assessment... Remember my post on this? So they said I've been shortlisted for that post... yeay! (walaupon hanya shortlist sahaja)...

so I'm waiting for that moment at 11.30am... and it's only 9.50am... and my butterflies has beranak- pinak inside my tummy... crazy!

Bismillah...

p/s: kawan2ku... sorry di atas apa yg berlaku, impian kita utk berhorey2 harus ditangguhkan... maaffin aku ya!

Saya Penyibuk!

Salam...

Saya tak jaga tepi kain orang... (gamaknya laa, self- proclaim ok?)
tapi saya sangat sibuk kebelakangan ini...
banyak benda nak disettlekan...
bukan hal peribadi, juga peribodi...
tapi hal- hal kerja yang melimpah ruah....

salah satu tanda... sungguh jarang saya balik lambat...
paling lambat, 1 jam selepas jarum pendek dekat no. 5, jarum pendek no. 6...
tapi dekat sini... saya dah pernah balik masa jarum pendek dekat no. 9 (jarum panjang toksah cakap laa kan)...

semalam dah abis satu meeting... tinggal lagi satu jek lagi...
kesimpulannya... saya sangat sibuk! (lepas ni harap2 saya boleh blog hopping balik!)

Phewww!

Salam...

yup, passed that! What I've been worried for these past 3 days were actually nothing...
easy- peasy... (when I've rehearsed the lines over and over again inside my mind, and yours truly was having nitemare last nite, tak tipu!!!)

I've submitted the application form (applying new job at the new dept) and been dreading what would Mr. Big Boss would say... and it turned out he signed it and said I met all the necessary requirements... yahooooooo! Thanks, Mr. Big Boss!

so tomorrow, I'll send it to HR, and wait for the next arrangements... not that I'll definitely get the job, but to successfully make Mr. Big Boss sign the form is a major triumph to me, coz he is well- known to not let people transfer to other dept, unless you're being promoted...

well, no... I'm not going for promotion... tak cukup syarat lagi ;)

Tak Suka! Tak Suka!

Salam...

iskk, aku betul2 tgh tak suka dengan kerja aku sekarang...
damn hate it!
macam mana nak buat kalau tak suka??? dan tak tahu???

aku grad dulu lain (benda2 computer ni)... sekarang nak kena tgk benda2 financial ni pulak!
iskk... screw you realignment! benciiiii!
aku bukan tak boleh belajar, I'm fine with learning (after all, hidup kita ni pon mmg akan sentiasa belajar)... tapi dah kalau passion tu tak datang sekali masa nak buat keja tu, macam mana?
ntah laa... cakap ngan MAM, dia hanya boleh kata sabar... sabar... think positive, it's all in your mind... (jenuh dah aku reprogramkan brain aku suh steady... somehow, only physical nampak relax, dalam otak dah gelabah togel dan benci yg meluap2!) OK sapa ada keja kosong, meh offer aku... benci dah ni weh tgk income statements + balance sheets orang... nyampah!

sementara tu aku nak mententeramkan hati dgn melihat gambar2 hero2 ku bermain layang2 di Taman Metropolitan Kepong, last Sunday... akak laa tukang amik gambar... sbb layang2 taknak naik, penat dah tawaf keliling padang tu... jadik cameraman lagi best! nampak hasil skett...

anak beranak lepak, layang2 tgh tinggi di angkasapuri

ni dah flying low... so si ayahanda dah cuak, takut anak nangis... si anak hanya penonton setia...

Work vs. Blogging

Salam,

after some time I have not been at other people's office (my job requires me to be at one, actually... bosannya!), I am now today writing from one of my banks...

fortunately this particular bank is very near to my dear hubby's office... so when it's time to go home, I can just walk to his office instead of following my teammates back to the office, to continue working...

I'll be here until Apr... oh! that is too long... we do have Internet connection here, but on sharing basis... so, even if I wanna use it to check emails, yada-yada-yada... I might not have the luxury of blogging... ooohhh sungguh tak bestnya... I can't really catch- up on what's happening, but I'll try my very best to do so, even if I have to sacrifice my lunch hour (when all of them are gone eating)... but errr, would I do so in this freezing room??? Maybe YES NOT!

:: Last Dayku di IT & DFI Supervision ::

Salam...

Hari ni last day kat dept ni... esok to start at a new place, old building, with new + old friends...
tiba2 aku terasa sayu, cam sedih nak tinggalkan tpt ni, lagi satu the bonding...
baru laa ada rasa2 nak rapat sesama org ni, org tu... hmmm, nak buat camana... orang atas sudah suruh, mmg laa takleh lawan...

teringat masa mula2 masuk keja dulu... hari2 aku balik, hari2 aku bebel kat MAM, cakap aku nak berenti, nak keja sendiri... takmo keja ngan org... tapi ntah mcm mana, aku berjaya tahan sampai 2 thn kat sini... :)
akan berulang lagikan kejadian itu esok dan hari2 yg mendatang?
hmmm... ntah laaa... tunggu dan lihat...

akan comfortable kah tpt baruku itu nanti? seperti 'happy nest' aku kat sini?
semuanya akan terjawab mulai esok...

Weekendku yang Berduit

Salam...

Last Saturday was fun! I entered a treasure hunt competition organized by my company... I was one of the "bidan terjuns" for the team, as same as Kak N**mah (the driver)... My team consisted of Kak N**mah, Bi*in (navigator, yg kadang2 menyesatkan kitorang), me and F*ra as navigators...

seriously, all this while kalau main, I just tried to crack the questions with what within my head... sekali main dgn F*ra, she was well equipped with GPS, a notebook will Google- enabled, a minute- away phone call to her hubby (yg dimana hubby dia mmg dah duduk depan pc or laptop mencarik jawapan, if she calls...) wahhh, very competitive one!

it was tiring, hot and almost got me broken into two... susah ok? there are times when I was actually dah lalu depan jawapan 2-3 rounds, but I didnt see it... I mean, how can you know that was the answer when you didnt break the clue? tee hee hee... tp when F*ra approached me, she solved it! she said that was the answer!!! Man, talking about the regular player... they know what to find, and whatnot... crazy laa all these people... they really think out of the box...

overall, it was cool... I enjoyed it very much... especially the part that we are the champion... woohoo!!!! sapa sangka cempedak dah jadik nangka! RM1500 for the champion to spend... hmmm, ok laa tu, weekendku yg pasti dikenang kerana mendapat free money, for sure it was not an easy one!

Ok laa, next year boleh masuk lagi... (aikkk? harituh masa tgh panas2 terik tu dah janji taknak masuk dah????? I'm blinded by those prizes... LOL)

p/s: pix to be uploaded later...

and the RESULT is...

Salam...

OK I had to admit, on my last day of the tournament, it was my off-tune day...
my throw was bad, my 'strike' didnt happen, and my spare was wayyy gone, into the darkness of the alley...
ntah laa... tak tau apsal... probably that was my 'first day'... but it didnt bother me that much as before... later I figured out maybe because God punished me of wearing white with no camisole inside... hahahah... I tried comforting myself with every reasons in the world... :)

My first 3 days (mind you, I had 4 match days... all were unrecorded leave... I know some of my collegues like **war & J*pp would kill for these!) were all awesome... chewah, perasan kejap...
ye lah, I wouldn't be the permanent bowler for all the matches... hahah... hmm, maybe I was 'on form' for those 3 days, and my 'joboness' was getting higher, that was why God punished me on the last day... *Astaghfirullah*... semuanya ada kena mengena... ;)

so in the end, my team got 6th overall... out of 8... hahhaha... sorry laaa, tried my best with my straight ball, but those 5 teams, they played 'hooked ball'... mana tak terrer! and we didnt hire a coach (out of budget allocated katanya... hmmpphh lantaklaaa)... and they have coach, cheered them all the way... oohh so jealous...

but I did have fun... with the crowd, with the team- spirit, with my progress, but not with my hotel's bathtub definitely... asyiklah bertakung air tu, after my roommate had her shower... so I ended up had my shower in the next room... tumpang bilik orang lain... hmmppphh!


malam sblm tu, konon2 meeting kasik semangat naik, strategize laa semua...

BNM on three... 1,2,3 BNM!!!

Perempuan2 Team A

Kapten tgh monitor markah kitorang... teruk ke x

Let the ball rolling...

Salam...

Alamak, esok dah start tournament inter- finance... tiba2 rasa gelabah... tiba2 nasik ini terasa masam. Am I ready? kang kalau hampeh scoreku camana? Akan berbaloikah duitku yg terguna pakai beli bola + kasut + bag itu!

Ahhh, malas nak pikir laa... esok sambung pikir.. malam ni relax jek laa, layan AZA ngan MAM... lagi best! kang aku pikir banyak kang, asyik nak ke tandas jek kang... utk mengeluarkan segala ketakutan + kerisauan... skarang ni pon dah ada terasa sikit... alamak! serius tak tipu! To infinity and beyond!!! (tu laa, pikir lagi)...

Emotional Intelligence (EQ)

I attended two days training on EQ (Breakthru Leaderhship: Unlocking Performance with EQ)which ended yesterday...
It was organized by Six Seconds (http://www.6seconds.org/), a non- profit org that develops and applies this vital competencies to foster healthy and productive relationships.

An interesting fact that they taught me:

It takes 6 seconds to manage anger
It takes 6 seconds to create compassion
It takes 6 seconds to make a difference.

In summary, with EQ on the job (can be applied to our daily life, too), people work together even better; they are more productive, more focused, more innovative, more prudent...

and what I found written on their website: Emotions make or break relationships, they lead us to optimal or terrible decisions, they drive our best and worst behaviors... The difference is emotional intelligence...

p/s: I didn't plan on babbling what can I learn from it, how was the food served, the facilitator etc..
but overall, it was a good learning experience that I overlooked before)...

Kena Beli Jugak...

Salam...

Finally, beli jugak aku bola bowling tu... Ishhh... lepas asyik terbakar jek telinga aku dengan 'usikan2 manja' bowling team aku (hati punya terbakar toksah cakap laa kan)... I'm RM309 broke! Dang! Baik aku beli baju ke, kasut ke... hish!
Ni semua nak jaga imej punya pasal laa ni... Bukan aku laa, tp dorang... main pakai house ball + house shoes cukup laa kan.. janji aku maintain jatuhan pin aku... tp tak, sbb main utk tpt keja aku yg 'superior' status quonya, so kena laa jaga imej... eleehhh, imej pebenda nak jaga, kalau aku beli bola sendiri nanti, baling hancuss... baik toksah!

tgk laaa, besok aku ada training... so that'll be my first try/ get lucky with that ball... haritu try masa beli cam tak best jek baling... cuak gak! tak ke sia2 aku dah buang duit, in the end I still wanna use house ball... sbb rasa ada connection lagi ngan bola itu? boleh ke??? adakah akan terbakar telinga/ hati aku lagi??? lantak laaa...

sbb yang pentingnya... bola + kasut + bag tu aku boleh claim dari points flexi aku... heheheh...

p/s: To my wonderful AZA: eh, you are 19-mo today laa, sayang... Happy Birthday... love you, son!

It's that TIME again!

Done it! Phewww... how glad am I to finally submit that Year- End Assessment... and now it's just to sit comfortably (not!), wait and see... for my name to be called by my 'kakak', and then that is the time with all the slashings "subtracting" here and there of those self- acclaimed points (why can't there just be additions? I can't accept rejection that well, u know!) LOL...

I just hope this year will be a good a year for myself (tho it's already the end of it)... but as some people might say, you can only measure your success rate once you know your achievements... hmm, some part true... considering what you've written in that PRIME form is as accurate as you could be, and agreed by the bosses... But as what being said by the others, our existence does not provide value- add to them... yikes! suka hati jek nak cakap macam tu... like you are doing our jobs... man, some people are so 'ear- burned', and toxic...

Tapi takpe lah... take it easy... malas nak pikir banyak2... redha jek laa dgn apa yg dapat... Insya Allah...

p/s: sorry had to hide some particulars, for safety reason... some ppl might use against me in the future... :)
