Right now…

`Someone is in profound pain, and a few months from now, they’ll be thriving like never before. They just can’t see it from where they’re at.

`Someone you haven’t met yet is already dreaming of adoring you.

`A farmer is looking at his organic crops and whispering, “nourish them.”

`Someone wants to kiss you, to hold you, to make tea for you.

`Someone is willing to lend you money, wants to know what your favourite food is, and treat you to a night out.

`Someone in your orbit has something immensely valuable to give you — for free.

`Something is being invented this year that will change how your generation lives, communicates, heals and passes on.

`Someone is sat doing dua for the Ummah. Others have mentioned you and me and others you know by name in their supplications and prayers.

`Millions of children are assuming that everything is amazing and will always be that way.

`Someone who is craving to be partnered, to be acknowledged, to ARRIVE, will get precisely what they want — and even more. And because that gift will be so fantastical in it’s reach and sweetness, it will quite magically alter their memory of angsty longing and render it all “So worth the wait.”

`Someone has recently cracked open their joyous, genuine nature because they did the hard work of hauling years of oppression off of their psyche.

`Someone just this second wished for world peace, in earnest.

`Someone is fighting the fight so that you don’t have to.

`Some civil servant is making sure that you get your mail, and your garbage is picked up, that the trains are running on time, and that you are generally safe.

`Someone is dedicating their days to protecting your civil liberties and clean drinking water.

`Someone is regaining their sanity. Someone is genuinely forgiving the seemingly unforgivable.

`Someone is curing the seemingly incurable.

`You. Me. Some. One. Now.

Think…

Do shukr for what we have, for truly Allah SWT is enough for us.

People judge. Fullstop.

I have been judged so much this week. I just finished facilitating a series of brainstorming workshops at a government agency. Every session i meet a different group of people, and get judged over and over again. I just had to write about this.

my workshop venue this past week

When i run workshops/ seminars/ trainings, as soon as i stand there in front of the room, these 20 odd set of eyes looking at me - they judge! If you are older, have white hair, a male, huge tummy - they judge less. But me, i get more than my fair share, especially with the more 'senior' crowd. I can almost see the questions in their head, while they pretend to look attentive and listen.

Some who are more vocal cant wait to catch you during coffee break to validate their judgments. 'Puan anak berapa?' , and oh this one top it all last week ' Puan ni nampak awet muda tapi puan tak muda kan' hahahaha.

Once they get past the looks, they wonder if you are at all qualified to stand there. By lunch, they sit beside you and ask questions. "so, how long have you been doing this"...'oh, before this you kerja mana" "lama kerja kat situ". And the whole table goes quiet, listening attentively. In their heads, they are doing the math - yes, guessing my age. Once in a while, there will be the more forward ones, who goes -' how old are you' - which means they are thinking, you are too young to be telling us what to do.

Oh well.......... i dont think there's anything i can do about it.

However, i learn to judge people less with this experience. Perception can be so deceiving, so dont be too quick to judge. There is more to every person than what meets the eye.

UNDO

2010-05-08T19:39:00.002+08:00

Have you ever done anything super-stooopid, and wishes you can hit the UNDO button, just like you do daily while working on your Word.doc?

I do that so often. Too bad life has no UNDO buttons.

We all know everything happens for a reason. Sometimes i wonder what could be the reasons for some of those stupid things i do...

Room Makeover

2010-05-04T21:18:00.002+08:00

I have decided to give "anne's prelude" a new look and feel. Got tired of the whole boring black background, and decided on a fresher look and feel. Plus, hopefully this gives me the motivation to keep the blog alive. (ya, ya, i know....no updates)

Its still the same old me, that probably complaints too much on this blog of mine. Oh well, my blog is my refuge. I'm going to try my best not to let it die a slow and painful death - despite many fatalities i've seen as most bloggers i know have jumped to FB, Twitter, tumblr or just give up on it altogether.

So, if you are reading this, hope the makeover is easy on your eyes.

Tunggu punya tunggu, doa, harap, berangan, suspens semua ada ....tetiba, tu dia jawapan yang masuk inbox semalam.

Dear Anne,

For your information, the evaluation panel has made the decision on the consultant and I am truly sorry to inform that you are not successful at this time. However, we will keep you in mind for future project, if any.

Thanks and regards,

......

Takpelah. 'You win some, you lose some'. Dah masuk 3 tahun kerja sendiri, dah belajar 'berhenti berharap' - tapi tipulah kalau cakap takde pasang sikit harapan. Projek yang fail ni agak besar, so berangan kalau dapat, kira best achievement for One HR (my co.) so far....anyway, takde rezeki. Bersyukur & fokus dulu projek2 tak berapa nak besar yg ada....;)

Menitik jugak air mata semalam, tapi hari ni dah ok. Jalan terus.

Lagu untuk diri sendiri & semua kawan-kawan bloggers, yg macam saya, kadang-kadang sedih, kadang-kadang rasa diri ni kecik je. Smile, you are all beautiful people

Anyone kaki Glee kat sini? I am :)

Enjoy this.

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realise
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And darkness still inside you
Make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shinin' through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors; True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow.

Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy,
Can't remember when I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors,True colors, are beautiful,Like a rainbow

Can't remember when I last saw you laugh
If this world makes you crazy
You've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
I see your true colors are shining through I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors, true colors
Are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Tak Tahu

2010-03-26T17:27:00.002+08:00

Nak update blog....berjam jam dok fikir apa nak cerita.

Still tak tau apa nak tulis.

Tu la padan muka lama sangat tinggal blog, blame it on twitter!

apa nak cerita ni?

What's New?

2010-02-04T07:59:00.003+08:00

Hi. Bangun pagi ni terasa nak update blog. Kalau ikut plan, time ni sepatutnya dah busy dengan projek baru di satu Non-Profit Organisation di Shah Alam ni. Dah ready semua, dan hati pun lega sebab projek 3 bulan. Jadi tak payahlah cari job sana-sini. Focus satu job saja.

Itulah, cliche tapi 'kita hanya boleh merancang'...hehe, geli ke dengar? Tapi memang betul pun. Mula2 postpone 28 Januari, lepas tu postpone ke April pulak. So, apa lagi.....habis plan kelam kabut.

Mujurlah ada projek2 kecik sana sini untuk masa ni. Bolehla survive sementara menunggu sesuatu yang lebih baik. Macamtulah kalau kerja freelance/ sendiri ni. Untuk kebebasan dan keseronokan bekerja yang dicari, kenalah biasakan diri dengan 'instability'. Kalau tak boleh terima, kena makan gaji ye kawan-kawan.

Semalam alhamdullilah, selepas satu hari yang sangat panas dan merimaskan di Putrajaya, dapatlah lulus satu proposal untuk projek. The bad news is projek kita propose besar, tapi tahun ni Govt kurangkan peruntukan kebanyakan kementerian, jadi dapat projek kecik je dulu. Takpelah, ambik dulu.

Jadi sekarang, i have to start doing some work. Lain kali kita cerita lagi.

Oh lupa, kenal tak yg baju merah kat bawah tu?;-)

Reunion

2010-01-19T08:50:00.003+08:00

I dont usually attend school or college or even university reunions. I find that most of the time, people hang out with those people you are already close and in touch with anyways. Anyway, that's just me.

However i dont really mind meeting up with old friends and acquaintences, small groups, have coffee, really talk and catch up.

Recently, thanks to the powers of Facebook, i came into contact with friends from primary school i havent seen since forever.

That's me. Sitting, 5th from left. (yg kecik tu, rambut tocang 2)

3 of us met up at KLCC in December, before the Christmas holidays. Ayu & Gee went to primary school with me, and we ended up in the same class up to Form 1, when both of them transferred schools to follow their parents.

It was nice catching up, they are all grown up and are successful career Mothers now - but i tell

you they look exactly the same.

20 Tips Murah Rezeki

2010-01-12T08:38:00.002+08:00

1. Jangan sekali-kali lupa untuk menunaikan ibadah kepada Allah
Walau sibuk macammana sekalipun, pastikan diri kita sentiasa menunaikan perintah2 Allah. Beribadah kepada Allah, maka insyaAllah pasti diri kita akan dimurahkan rezeki dan mendapat keberkatan. Allah (SWT) tidak sia-siakan pengabdian diri hamba-Nya, seperti firman- Nya dalam hadis qudsi:
“Wahai anak Adam, sempatkanlah untuk menyembah-Ku maka Aku akan membuat hatimu kaya dan menutup kefakiranmu. Jika tidak melakukannya maka Aku akan penuhi tanganmu dengan kesibukan dan Aku tidak menutup kefakiranmu.” (Riwayat Ahmad, Tirmizi, Ibnu Majah dan al-Hakim dari Abu Hurairah r.a.)

2. Memperbanyak istighfar
Istighfar adalah rintihan dan pengakuan dosa seorang hamba di depan Allah (SWT) , yang menjadi sebab Allah (SWT) jatuh kasih dan kasihan pada hamba-Nya lalu Dia berkenan melapangkan jiwa dan kehidupan si hamba.
Sabda Nabi s.a.w.: “Barang siapa memperbanyak istighfar maka Allah (SWT) s.w.t akan menghapuskan segala kedukaannya, menyelesaikan segala masalahnya dan memberinya rezeki dari arah yang tidak disangka.” (Riwayat Ahmad, Abu Daud, an-Nasa’i, Ibnu Majah dan al-Hakim dari Abdullah bin Abbas r.a.)

3.Tinggalkan perbuatan dosa
Istighfar tidak laku di sisi Allah (SWT) jika masih buat dosa. Dosa bukan saja membuat hati resah malah menutup pintu rezeki. Sabda Nabi s.a.w. :
“… dan seorang lelaki akan diharamkan baginya rezeki kerana dosa yang dibuatnya.” (Riwayat at-Tirmizi)

4.Berzikir dan Sentiasa ingat Allah (SWT)
Banyak ingat Allah (SWT) buatkan hati tenang dan kehidupan terasa lapang. Ini rezeki yang hanya Allah (SWT) beri kepada orang beriman. Firman-Nya:
“(iaitu) orang-orang beriman dan hati mereka menjadi tenteram dengan mengingati Allah (SWT) . Ingatlah, hanya dengan mengingati Allah (SWT) hati menjadi tenteram.” (Ar-Ra’d: 28)

5.Berbakti dan mendoakan ibu bapa
Dalam hadis riwayat Imam Ahmad, Rasulullah s.a.w. berpesan agar siapa yang ingin panjang umur dan ditambahi rezekinya, hendaklah berbakti kepada ibu bapanya dan menyambung tali kekeluargaan. Baginda s.a.w. juga bersabda:
“Siapa berbakti kepada ibu bapanya maka kebahagiaanlah buatnya dan Allah (SWT) akan memanjangkan umurnya.” (Riwayat Abu Ya’ala, at-Tabrani, al-Asybahani dan al-Hakim)

Mendoakan ibu bapa juga menjadi sebab mengalirnya rezeki, berdasarkan sabda Nabi s.a.w. :
“Apabila hamba itu meninggalkan berdoa kepada kedua orang tuanya nescaya terputuslah rezeki (Allah (SWT) ) daripadanya.” (Riwayat al-Hakim dan ad-Dailami)

6.Berbuat baik dan menolong orang yang lemah
Berbuat baik kepada orang yang lemah ini termasuklah menggembirakan dan meraikan orang tua, orang sakit, anak yatim dan fakir miskin, juga isteri dan anak-anak yang masih kecil. Sabda Nabi s.a.w. :
“Tidaklah kamu diberi pertolongan dan diberi rezeki melainkan kerana orang-orang lemah di kalangan kamu.” (Riwayat Bukhari)

7.Tunaikan hajat orang lain
Menunaikan hajat orang menjadi sebab Allah (SWT) lapangkan rezeki dalam bentuk tertunainya hajat sendiri, seperti sabda Nabi s.a.w.:
“Siapa yang menunaikan hajat saudaranya maka Allah (SWT) akan menunaikan hajatnya” (Riwayat Muslim)

8.Banyakkan berselawat
Ada hadis yang menganjurkan berselawat jika hajat atau cita-cita tidak tertunai kerana selawat itu dapat menghilangkan kesusahan, kesedihan, dan kesukaran serta meluaskan rezeki dan menyebabkan terlaksananya semua hajat. Wallahu a’lam.

9. Buat kebajikan banyak-banyak
Ibnu Abbas berkata:
“Sesungguhnya kebajikan itu memberi cahaya kepada hati, kemurahan rezeki, kekuatan jasad dan disayangi oleh makhluk yang lain. Manakala kejahatan pula boleh menggelapkan rupa, menggelapkan hati, melemahkan tubuh, sempit rezeki dan makhluk lain mengutuknya.”

10.Bangun pagi awal (Jangan tidur sampai tengahari)
Menurut Rasulullah s.a.w., berpagi-pagi (memulakan aktiviti harian sebaik-baik selesai solat Subuh berjemaah) adalah amalan yang membaca keberkatan dan murah rezeki.

11. Menjalin silaturrahim
Nabi s.a.w. bersabda:
“Barang siapa ingin dilapangkan rezekinya dan dilambatkan ajalnya maka hendaklah dia menghubungi sanak-saudaranya.” (Riwayat Bukhari)

12.Selalu berada dalam keadaan berwuduk
Seorang Arab desa menemui Rasulullah s.a.w. dan meminta pedoman mengenai beberapa perkara termasuk mahu dimurahkan rezeki oleh Allah (SWT) . Baginda s.a.w. bersabda:
“Sentiasalah berada dalam keadaan bersih (dari hadas) nescaya Allah (SWT) akan memurahkan rezeki.” (Diriwayatkan daripada Sayidina Khalid al-Walid)

13.Selalu Bersedekah
Sedekah mengundang rahmat Allah (SWT) dan menjadi sebab Allah (SWT) buka pintu rezeki. Nabi s.a.w. bersabda kepada Zubair bin al-Awwam:
“Hai Zubair, ketahuilah bahawa kunci rezeki hamba itu ditentang Arasy, yang dikirim oleh Allah (SWT) Azza Wajalla kepada setiap hamba sekadar nafkahnya. Maka siapa yang membanyakkan pemberian kepada orang lain, nescaya Allah (SWT) membanyakkan baginya. Dan siapa yang menyedikitkan, nescaya Allah (SWT) menyedikitkan baginya.” (Riwayat ad-Daruquthni dari Anas r.a.)

14.Selalu bangun solat malam (tahajud)
Ada keterangan bahawa amalan solat tahajjud memudahkan memperoleh rezeki, menjadi sebab seseorang itu dipercayai dan dihormati orang dan doanya dimakbulkan Allah (SWT)

15.Selalu menunaikan Solat Dhuha
Amalan solat Dhuha yang dibuat waktu orang sedang sibuk dengan urusan dunia (aktiviti harian), juga mempunyai rahsia tersendiri. Firman Allah (SWT) dalam hadis qudsi:
“Wahai anak Adam, jangan sekali-kali engkau malas mengerjakan empat rakaat pada waktu permulaan siang (solat Dhuha), nanti pasti akan Aku cukupkan keperluanmu pada petang harinya.” (Riwayat al-Hakim dan Thabrani)

16.Bersyukur kepada Allah (SWT)
Syukur ertinya mengakui segala pemberian dan nikmat dari Allah (SWT) . Lawannya adalah kufur nikmat. Allah (SWT) berfirman:
“Demi sesungguhnya! Jika kamu bersyukur, nescaya Aku tambahi nikmat-Ku kepadamu, dan demi sesungguhnya jika kamu kufur, sesungguhnya azab-Ku amat keras.” (Ibrahim: 7)
Firman-Nya lagi:
“… dan Kami akan memberi balasan kepada orang-orang yang bersyukur.” (Ali Imran: 145)

17.Mengamalkan zikir dan bacaan ayat Quran tertentu
Zikir dari ayat-ayat al-Quran atau asma’ul husna selain menenangkan, menjenihkan dan melunakkan hati, ia mengandungi fadilat khusus untuk keluasan ilmu, terbukanya pintu hidayah, dimudahkan faham agama, diberi kemanisan iman dan dilapangkan rezeki.
Misalnya, dua ayat terakhir surah at-Taubah (ayat 128-129) jika dibaca secara konsisten tujuh kali setiap kali lepas solat, dikatakan boleh menjadi sebab Allah (SWT) lapangkan kehidupan dan murahkan rezeki.

Salah satu nama Allah (SWT) , al-Fattah (Maha Membukakan) dikatakan dapat menjadi sebab dibukakan pintu rezeki jika diwiridkan selalu; misalnya dibaca “Ya Allah (SWT) ya Fattah” berulang-ulang, diiringi doa: “Ya Allah (SWT) , bukalah hati kami untuk mengenali-Mu, bukalah pintu rahmat dan keampunan-Mu, ya Fattah ya `Alim.”
Ada juga hadis menyebut, siapa amalkan baca surah al-Waqi’ah setiap malam, dia tidak akan ditimpa kepapaan. Wallahu a’lam.

18.Selalu berdoa dan meminta pertolongan daripada Allah
Berdoa menjadikan seorang hamba dekat dengan Allah (SWT) , penuh bergantung dan mengharap pada rahmat dan pemberian dari-Nya. Dalam al-Quran, Allah (SWT) suruh kita meminta kepada-Nya, nescaya Dia akan perkenankan.

19.Berusaha dan berikhtiar sehabis baik
Siapa berusaha, dia akan dapat. Ini sunnatullah. Dalam satu hadis sahih dikatakan bahawa Allah (SWT) berikan dunia kepada orang yang dicintai-Nya dan yang tidak dicintai-Nya, tapi agama hanya Allah (SWT) beri kepada orang yang dicintai-Nya saja. (Riwayat Ahmad, Ibnu Abi Syaibah dan al-Hakim).

Bagi orang beriman, tentulah dia perlu mencari sebab-sebab yang boleh membawa kepada murah rezeki dalam skop yang luas. Misalnya, hendak tenang dibacanya Quran, hendak dapat anak yang baik dididiknya sejak anak dalam rahim lagi, hendak sihat dijaganya pemakanan dan makan yang baik dan halal, hendak dapat jiran yang baik dia sendiri berusaha jadi baik, hendak rezeki berkat dijauhinya yang haram, dan sebagainya.

20.Bertawakal dan meletak sepenuh harapan hanya kepada Allah
Dengan tawakal, seseorang itu akan direzekikan rasa kaya dengan Allah (SWT) . Firman-Nya:
“Barang siapa bertawakal kepada Allah (SWT) , nescaya Allah (SWT) mencukupkan (keperluannya) .” (At-Thalaq: 3)

Nabi s.a.w. bersabda:
“Seandainya kamu bertawakal kepada Allah (SWT) dengan sebenar-benar tawakal, nescaya kamu diberi rezeki seperti burung diberi rezeki, ia pagi hari lapar dan petang hari telah kenyang.” (Riwayat Ahmad, at- Tirmizi, Ibnu Majah, Ibnu Hibban, al-Hakim dari Umar bin al-Khattab r.a.)

Kesemua yang disebutkan di atas adalah amalan-amalan yang membawa kepada takwa. Dengan takwa, Allah (SWT) akan beri “jalan keluar (dari segala perkara yang menyusahkan) , dan memberinya rezeki dari jalan yang tidak terlintas di hatinya.” (Rujuk At-Talaq: 2-3)
Pendek kata, bagi orang Islam, untuk murah rezeki dalam ertikata yang sebenarnya, kuncinya adalah melaksanakan ibadah dan amalan-amalan yang menambahkan ketakwaan kepada Allah.
Amalan-amalan takwa ini menjadi sebab jatuhnya kasih sayang Allah (SWT) , lalu Allah (SWT) limpahi hamba-Nya dengan keluasan rezeki dan rasa kaya dengan pemberian-Nya.

Sekian, semoga kita semua dimurahkan rezeki dan hidup dengan penuh keberkatan dan rahmah daripadaNYA. InsyaAllah.

2009-12-18T08:55:00.005+08:00

Selamat Menyambut Tahun Baru Hijrah to all friends & blog readers. Its a long weekend - so, happy holidays to everyone too.

Kalau ada yang bukak blog ni dan bosan gila sebab tak berupdate, sorrrriiiiiiiiiiii. Hidup I dalam 3 ke 4 bulan ni memang tenggelam dalam kerja je. Bila penat sangat, takde mood nak blog. Cuma update twitter saja.

Hari ni rasa SANGAT LEGA. 2 projek telah siap untuk tahun ni. Boleh rest sekejap sebelum mula dengan projek baru tahun depan. Kena sangat la dengan akhir tahun hijrah semalam, dan awal muharram hari ni. Syukur sangat-sangat sebab tahun ini, business lebih baik dari tahun lepas. Kalau awal muharram lepas dalam sebak berdoa untuk diberi kekuatan melalui masa-masa yang sangat perit....tahun ini sangat bersyukur kerana Allah permudahkan sedikit demi sedikit.

Alhamdulillah.

Selamat Menyambut Awal Muharram. Saya doakan Tahun hijrah 1431 membawa rahmat, rezeki dan segala yang baik-baik untuk kita semua. Amin.

Jalan-jalan Minum Kopi

Korban

2009-11-26T09:52:00.002+08:00

Hi semua. OMG, lama sungguh tak blog. Sejak bulan puasa, memang schedule kerja sangat pack. Macam ni la kerja freelance ni. Bila free, sampai termenung takde benda nak buat. Masyuk pun tak. Bila ada project, bertimpa-timpa pulak. Sekarang ni ada 2 project berjalan serentak. Itu pasal tak sempat blog macam biasa - satu pengorbanan ;-).

Dalam sibuk2 ni, curi masa sekejap balik Alor Setar untuk jenguk parents dan raya haji sekali. Of course bawak balik kerja sekali. Nasib baik rumah mak dah ada broadband sekarang. Senang sikit. Dulu kena dial-up memang tak larat nak menunggu.

Oh, esok raya kan. Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha & Maaf Zahir Batin. Semoga kita semua dapat betul-betul menghayati erti korban, Insyaallah.

Will try to update more often- janji. Ada banyak posting overdue ni...cerita kenduri kahwin (not mine, ok!), cerita picnic dan banyak lagi...

Konflik

2009-10-18T23:59:00.000+08:00

Kenapa aku selalu nampak hidup orang lain lebih indah, lebih bahagia, lebih hebat dari kehidupanku yang ada saja tak kena.

Mungkin sebab aku hanya membandingkan dengan kehidupan orang yang punya lebih segala- galanya.

Kalau aku bandingkan dengan orang susah, orang sakit, orang kurang upaya, memanglah banyak yg perlu disyukuri. Silap-silap, jadi riak pulak.

Susahkan? Mana lebih susah? Bersabar mencari senang, atau bersyukur mengharung susah? Bersyukur nikmat Tuhan, atau bersabar ujian Yang Esa?

Konflik dalam diri. Jawab sendiri.

Too Good

Syawal

2009-09-30T20:42:00.002+08:00

Sometimes Allah breaks our spirit to save our soul.

HE breaks our heart to make us whole.

HE sends us pain so we can be stronger.

HE sends us failure to make us humble.

HE sends us illness so we take care of ourselves.

Sometimes, ALLAH takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything HE’s given us

May the spirit of Ramadhan lives on in us throughout the year

Salam Aidilfitri Maaf Zahir Batin

#Maaf agak lambat update blog & ucap selamat hari raya. Lepas cuti raya terus sibuk kerja. Terima kasih semua yg tinggalkan ucapan pada comment box posting lepas.

Good one!

Alhamdulillah

2009-08-24T14:29:00.002+08:00

Alhamdullilah Mak dah sihat...dah mula puasa pun hari Sabtu.

Syukur sangat.

Semalam i singgah pasar ramadan beli kueh, tengok orang yang take precaution pakai mask minoriti je berbanding dengan yang tak pakai. Termasuklah penjual. Siap ada geng budak2 nakal ni dok gelakkan orang yang pakai mask.

Dah masuk hari ke 3 kan tak ada H1N1 related death. That is good news. Hope things get better. Rimas la keluar pakai mask ni...rasa mcm susah nak bernafas.

Ramadhan Datang Lagi

Semoga Ibadah Anda Semua Di Bulan Penuh Kemuliaan Ini DiberkatiNya.

89%???

2009-08-18T16:24:00.003+08:00

My mom has not been feeling well since Sunday.
Actually last week, my whole family was over at my place. Rabu lepas Mak demam, i took her to my GP dekat rumah ni, Dr Razana cakap its normal flu je. Dr said kalau demam tak baik, come back tomorrow for tamiflu antiviral. Sebab Mak punya age, dia high risk group.

Then makan ubat sekali je, Mak terus turun temperature, cuma batuk je. So Alhamdullilah. Thot semua dah ok.

On Sunday, Mak, Bapak and Kakak balik Kedah.
Petang tu dapat sms Mak demam semula. Bila makan panadol, demam turun. Off and on. Risau gila.

Today Kakak took Mak to Dr Soma - our long time family doctor.
Based on her symptoms, Dr Soma said 89% its NOT H1N1. How on earth did he come up with that figure??? Not 90, 89! Mak pun takde selsema. Only if Mak tak recover by Thursday, baru buat blood test.

Anyways, Mak on double dose of antibiotics now and other medications. Tak dapat cakap dengan Mak since Sunday sebab tak nak ganggu - dia nak tido je. Mesti letih makan antibiotik banyak. Mak kalau sakit, paling payah coz dia tak nak makan langsung. Puas berpujuk. Mesti Kakak stress kat rumah tu nak pujuk Mak makan.

Praying hard for Mak's speedy recovery. Semoga Allah jauhkan dari apa-apa penyakit yang merbahaya.

Sayang Mak sangat-sangat...:-(

Al Fatihah to Arwah Yasmin Ahmad.

I will miss most her TV commercials - raya, CNY, deepavali, merdeka. Remember Tan Hon Ming, remember burung apa...burung murai...?

I found this on Youtube. One of Arwah Yasmin's work. I dont think it has ever been shown on M'sian TV, made for S'pore tv if im not mistaken. Typical of her work, always transcend racial boundaries, always touches the heart and soul...watch this.

Menyesal

2009-07-22T21:34:00.002+08:00

Pernah tak you all dgn berniat baik cuba buat sesuatu yang elok untuk orang lain.
Lepas tu menyesal sendiri.

Tadi i tengah tengok TV. Ada la dengar sesuatu (tak perlula cerita detail kat sini). So i sms la info ni pada seseorang sebab i tau dia memang ambil berat pasal ni, saja je tetiba rajin nak share. Takde niat lain pun...dan i tulis situ i dengar kat TV dari siapa la yg bercakap tu.

Lepas tu dia balas sms dua kali dengan soalan2nya, mempertikaikan pulak - orang tu 'authority' ke pasal benda ni?, kenapa bunyi macam tak kena?.

Last last, tak reti dah nak jawab sebab i pun dengar je...lastly, i suruh dia ignore je my earlier sms with apologies.

Menyesal. Moral of the story?....apa eh?

Pilihan objektif:
I. jangan terlebih rajin, orang pun tak tanya kita?
II. jangan berkongsi benda yang kita sendiri tak cukup ilmu?
III. thank you would be nice..walaupun info tu crap?
IV. padan mukaku?
V. all of the above?

:-)

pagi yang gelap...

2009-07-20T11:06:00.002+08:00

kenapa pagi yang gelap? there's a notice from building management hari ni ada blackout seluruh kawasan condominium ni dari 10pagi sampai 6petang. so i'm on standby ni....dah pukul 11 still ada electricity. maybe block by block agaknya....

anyway, here's something for you to think about as we start a new week...

The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.

Be Careful People!!

2009-07-12T10:57:00.006+08:00

My brother forwarded me this message. I thot its worth sharing, if you dont already know.

Subject: FW: ATM receipt

Since all of us have ATM card(s), I would like to share this importantnews. My friend saw a man at Novena MRT ATM trying to get all thereceipts out of the ATM bin.Please read the following message from a friend of mine, it's true.Please be careful, it's not a joke.....

Be careful when u draw cash from ATM with receipt complete with youraccount number.Please never throw the ATM receipt in the public bin even if u used totear it into small pieces before throwing it away.

Today, just got a call from my sister that she had lost all her cashfromher account. She threw the receipt into the bin provided at ATMrecently. Luckily, she only has $633/= in her account.Not much of suspicious when she was left with $11/= because she thoughtit was her petrol GIRO payment, however, that's not true.. She only gotto know it when the petrol company, Mobil cut-off the petrol card'stransaction when she realized something is wrong.

After checking with the bank, she was told that now there is thissyndicate who will pick up the ATM receipt & with their IT expert,theyare able to draw out your money.The bank will not be able to trace where these people had drawn themoney& how they do it, don't ask me, even the bank can't answer it. They can only advise you to report the case to the police for investigation. My sister is the third victim in this month.

DON'T THROW YOUR ATM RECEIPT AWAY! SEND THIS TO All YOU KNOW....

So be careful everyone. Hang on to your ATM slips and throw it somewhere else. Make sure you koyak-koyakkan dulu sebelum buang

Cerita Bodoh & Memalukan

2009-06-24T07:57:00.002+08:00

You all nak dengar cerita yang bodoh ni tak....

Hari Khamis lepas, I ada job kat Cherating, untuk jadi co-trainer untuk this company punya teambuilding retreat at a resort kat sana. Semua arrangement dibuat oleh trainer yang lagi sorang ni - Siti. Awal-awal lagi Siti dah bagitau dia dah book flight Firefly (pegi-balik) dari Subang Airport.

Oklah...i pun plan nak park my car kat airport saja sebab day trip saja. Pegi pagi, balik petang. A day before the trip, Siti bagitau the morning flight to Kuantan Firefly dah cancel pulak. So dia terpaksa book MAS. Balik masih kat Subang Airport.

Pagi Khamis tu, pukul 5 pagi i dah start bersiap-siap.....then Siti sms, dia remind flight depart from KLIA. Of course la i ingat, apa la Siti ni....(i was thinking to myself). Pukul 6.30 macam tu i pun dengan hati gumbira drove myself to the airport. (biasanya i will call a cab - tapi since day trip je...bayar parking lagi murah. so i memang plan dari awal lagi i akan park kat airport...hmmm, bijak bijak...;-))

So kita board the plane semua no problem. Dah la Siti got us Business Class seats - first time i naik business class - happy la coz dapat breakfast semua...tengah lapar. Then Siti tanya, Anne, kenapa you park kereta kat sini? Kita balik nanti turun SUBANG...

OMG! OMG! OMG! What was i thinking! (Obviously i wasnt la kan.....). Nasib tak menjerit dalam plane. Rasa bodoh gila...malu pun ye.

Nasib my brother came to my rescue...pick me up kat Subang...drove me to KLIA malam-malam buta...(of course i only told him the half truth...pasal flight cancel...he didnt know i knew about the cancellation a day before...heheheheh)

Ok, go on...laugh your heads off. :-P

Cerita Panasssssssss!

2009-06-17T09:31:00.003+08:00

You all PANAS tak? Pagi-pagi dah berpeluh2 ni walaupun fan depan muka.

Balik Alor Star baru ni pun lagi la panas. Mandi, keluar bilik air dah peluh dah.

Oh yes, sorry la lama tak update. My mother injured her leg, so i went home to help her take care of my dad.

Back to cerita panas, i read somewhere its gonna carry on to September. So bulan puasa ni maybe lebih panas dari biasa. Dugaan....

Rindu Terhenti

2009-06-01T15:52:00.002+08:00

This song is top on my playlist for the past few days. Who would have thought....me, liking a Tomok song. Dulu time New Boyz, i have to admit....memang anti betul lagu-lagu leleh diaorang.

But, since OIAM....my (and every other Malaysian's???) opinion of Tomok has changed. He can definitely sing. And i'm loving this new single.

Padam Nyala Patah Tumbuh
Hilang Kan Berganti
Cinta Tiba Cinta Pergi
Yang Azali Ku Nanti

Lurus Bendul

2009-05-28T09:35:00.004+08:00

The last time i had a hair cut, the stylist dok pujuk-pujuk i buat 'relaxing' treatment. Its one type of hair straightening jugak, katanya less severe than rebonding.

Anyway, i tak buat la masa tu...tapi si Agus, stylist tu beriya blow straight my hair to get the same effect like what it would be kalau buat relaxing. The above pics taken just after keluar salon...itupasal very the straight...weird tak?

Sekarang ni rambut dah panjang semula...i need a hair cut again.

Should i do it? Rasa macam terlalu lurus bendul pulak rambut tu...sekarang kalau nak straight, boleh la blow n letak product. Tahan la beberapa jam. Nak wavy sikit pun boleh. Kalau dah buat relaxing ni...lurus bendul la rambut all the time...easy to maintain i suppose...tapi nampak macam rambut sikit pun ye....Risiko rambut rosak pun ada kot...

Dilemma ni.....

NO.

2009-05-27T08:14:00.003+08:00

I have to admit i have trouble saying no to people sometimes.

Especially when it comes to work, you know you face all sorts of people - the not so clever, the unreasonable, the 'bodoh-sombong'...etc etc etc

For the last few months i have been in this never ending project. My patience has been spread super-thin. I had to tolerate many people i could hardly resist strangling. But for the sake of work, responsibility, teamwork - i have been (too) accommodating every request, even those stupid unreasonable ones. Even those that things that are not supposed to be my job in the first place. Even those i dont get paid for. I complain of course, i still end up doing them. At times i feel so "used".

Yesterday, i reached my limit. I said No. Plain and simple No. Cannot.

Do i feel bad? Maybe for a split second. Do i feel guilty? Not really.

Does that make me a bad person?

Memories From Sandakan

2009-05-12T08:12:00.009+08:00

Dalam siri kerja I di East Malaysia, tahun lepas 2 program, ini kali ketiga dan terakhir. This one is my least favourite. Ada la beberapa perkara yang berlaku yang buat I kurang senang - bukan dengan participants ya (kot2 ada yg terbaca blog ni), dia orang ok je.

muka stress hehe

The Class

Bandar Sandakan ni sunyi je. Feel town ni macam 70an, 80an lagi. Tengok keadaan jalan on a working day. Takde traffic pun. Sandakan memang tepi laut. Industri perikanan yang nampak kat sini, selain eco-tourism. Bandar ni transit untuk tourist ke pulau-pulau untuk lihat penyu bertelur, sanctuary orang utan dan macam-macam lagi.

Ini pulak kat Pasar Sandakan. Ikan bilis, ikan kering dan udang kering fresh & murah di sini.

Sempat makan dinner seafood sekali di Pasar Sim Sim. Orang sini kata tempat ni la paling famous. Kebanyakan ikan bakar tu nama pelik pelik. Kecuali ikan merah, yang lain semua tak pernah dengar. Takde kut kat semenanjung ni. Ikan memang fresh, murah pulak tu. Dalam 15 orang yang join makan hari tu, dengan ikan besar-besar 2 orang share satu ekor - the guys siap order lebih lebih lagi tambah, sotong, nasi dan side dishes, air - total cuma RM100 lebih mcm tu, tak sampai RM150. Macam tak percaya.

Gambar apa ni? Ekor dan sirip ikan gergasi..Masa ni i singgah dekat satu kedai fresh seafood. Beli fresh prawns nak bawak balik. Kat sini dia dah siapkan ice, lepas tu packing elok2 boleh bawak naik flight. Menakutkan decor kat kedai ni...hehehe.

Itu jelah cerita dari Sandakan.

p/s: A BIG thank you for yuzz9071, axim, Catz, muadzlife, mad redo1, su3y, arianna adrizal, Norae & Lily.lulu yang mendoakan yang baik-baik dan tinggalkan best wishes kat post bawah ni. Korang memang best!!!!

Doakan please.......

2009-05-04T01:51:00.003+08:00

My flight departs at 0715 to Sandakan, Sabah. Its almost a 3 hour flight.....agak jauh jugak tempat ni. see.....hujung dunia.

Holiday? i wish. Pergi kerja, i will facilitate a 3 day training kat sana untuk pegawai-pegawai 'gomen'. Walaupun dah banyak kali buat training, i still get nervous. And i get super nervous when the subject matter tu kira bukan makanan i la. This coming session pun bukan my favourite subject matter, so not only do i have butterflies in my stomach....i have an entire zoo.

I'm praying for nothing to go wrong, i hope they dont stare at me with blank faces, i hope they laugh at my jokes, i hope they at least pretend like they are enjoying the session, i hope nobody falls asleep, i hope they dont go away feeling they just wasted 3 days and 4 nights of their lives.

Doakan saya, please.......( dgn muka sedih ni:-( )

Will be back late Thursday.

p/s - dah 0200, sempat tidur 2 jam ni. Airport taxi picks me up at 0500. Bye everyone

Happy Birthday Bapak

2009-05-01T16:46:00.004+08:00

Alhamdullilah, today is Bapak's 78th birthday.

Semoga panjang umur, bertambah sihat dan dilindungi Allah selalu.

Sekadar Berkongsi.....

2009-04-13T19:12:00.002+08:00

Khat di atas ialah Ayat Doa (Rabbi yassir wa laa tu’assir, rabbi tammim bilkhair)

Maksudnya:

Wahai Tuhanku, permudahkanlah dan jangan susahkan urusanku.. wahai Tuhanku, sempurnakanlah ia dengan kebaikan.

Anne says: Doa ni dulu Mak ajar, sebab pendek senang and cepat hafal. Mula-mula ceritanya tengah cari parking, masa tu susah sangat dapat. Pastu Mak mula baca doa ni. Then jumpa la spot kosong. Lepas tu mak pesan kalau dalam kesusahan, baca doa ni banyak2, insyaAllah dipermudahkanNya.

10 fakta pasal Genting trip

2009-04-09T18:53:00.003+08:00

1. I am back.

2. I didnt really enjoy Genting.

3. The client still nak macam macam, so project belum tutup.

4. Driving up and down Genting was a nightmare esp masa naik tu malam and hujan. Gelap gelita and jalan licin.

5. I almost tertido masa driving home yesterday....masa tu dekat NKVE dah dekat nak sampai exit Bukit Jelutong. Gila bahaya!

6. I am having a throbbing headache...dari atas Genting sampai hari ni...like someone's banging my head with something.

7. Ada beberapa insiden berlaku masa workshop kat Genting. Orang yang nampak relax, kelakar and cool, rupanya boleh emo and buat drama tak hengat. Kalau nak kenal orang, tengok dia masa tengah pressure, baru keluar 'true colors'.

8. I ate a lot masa kat Genting tu, tapi orang masih dok kata "kurusnya, keciknya...makan banyak sikit" Bosan tau!

9. When you look younger than your age, people tend to treat you macam budak2...i didnt like the way some people treat me while i was there. Habis tu takkan nak jalan tampal IC, tampal resume kat kepala to get some respect.

10. I slept very little. First night, through some poor planning of the organisers, end up dekat some apartment 3 bilik yang bau lipas. 6 orang share. 4 lelaki 2 pompuan. and the room i was in, ada satu single bed je yg sungguh narrow. bantal satu. go figure. azab. Next day baru dapat check in hotel - nasib dapat free upgrade to junior suite. Besar la sikit katil dia - king size. Walaupon mengekalkan konsep tido sekatil, kurang azab.

Menuju Puncak

2009-04-06T17:24:00.003+08:00

...bukan puncak AF, puncak Genting;-P

After tutup kedai - cuti last week, i'm back to work. This morning itself dah pergi meeting with these bunch of people...

Ada away day session dengan client kat Genting. Leaving this evening. Will be back n blogging on thursday.

I am praying my portion of the project will get the ALL CLEAR. Then my work is done. Dah tak larat dah project ni, banyak sgt delay. Lepastu boleh la mintak payment....

See ya later!

White shoes???

2009-04-03T12:32:00.002+08:00

ok ke you all???

hmmm, i dont think so.

The guy wearing it is working together with me in this project. Kalau ada meeting/ session dgn client, mesti dia pakai kasut putih ni. I suka kacau-kacau dia pasal kasut putih ni.

i dunno. maybe with an all white suit - pegi red carpet event ke boleh kut. Puff Daddy could probably pull it off. Kalau for work....sesuai ke u'ols???

Hehehe. saje je merepek takde cerita nak blog.

Friday Reflections: Selawat

2009-04-03T11:49:00.002+08:00

Riwayat dari at-Tarmizi

Ubay bin Ka'ab bertanya kepada Rasullulah s.a.w:

"Wahai Baginda rasul, berapa sering saya perlu mengucap selawat untukmu?

Baginda Rasul menjawab

"Sesukamu"

Ubay bertanya lagi

"Adakah seperempat" "adakah duapertiga"

Baginda Rasul menjawab

" Terserah engkaulah. Dan jika ditambahkan, maka itu lebih baik"

Ubay bertanya lagi,

"Adakah selawatku untukmu seluruhnya"

Baginda menjawab,

"Kerana itu dosamu akan diampuni, dan kesedihanmu akan dihilangkan"
********************************************************************************
Dalil berkenaan selawat pada hari Jumaat:
'Banyakkanlah membaca selawat padaku pada malam Jumaat dan hari Jumaat sebab selawat kamu diperlihatkan kepadaku'

anne sd:
1. dipetik dari buku La Tahzan (Jangan Bersedih) - one of my favourite books
2. peringatan untuk diri sendiri lebih dari orang lain

Closed for Business

2009-04-02T07:48:00.005+08:00

Tutup Kedai.

I tutup kedai 3 hari. semalam, today & tomorrow.

Suka hati aku la kan...heheh. sebab LETIH. Boleh macam tu???

Berilah saya ruang untuk bernafas....wah, gitu :-) !!

Penat sangat la mengejar kerja, deadline...ada break sekejap since semalam until the weekend sebab client tengah deliberate. 2-3 weeks yg lepas ni rasanya 24 jam dalam sehari tak cukup. Nak cukupkan masa, terpaksalah stay-up. Ada hari yang tak tido langsung, atau tido sejam dua. (not complaining tho, time ada projek je macam ni.)

Nak tido, guling-guling tengok TV (sila jealous) , settle personal stuff...

shopping, jalan-jalan??? i wish...payment belum masuk la....hampir miskin tegar ni.

Lights Off

Proof that Anne supports Earth Hour.

Impossible Is Nothing?

2009-03-28T10:19:00.002+08:00

my client is taking this "Impossible is Nothing" to a whole new level........

i am a mere mortal

Earth Hour 2009

2009-03-26T06:00:00.001+08:00

HAVE YOU SIGNED UP? I HAVE:-)

If you havent, please do so here. Its simple and really fast, i promise. Someone asked me, terus tutup lampu je, tak payah sign up tak boleh ke? Memanglah boleh....but why not be counted as one of the many Malaysians who supports Earth Hour.

And this video is pretty cool to get you into the mood.

Plenty of other video clips at http://www.earthhour.org/malaysia , including the one with Sheikh 'Angkasawan' Muzaffar and Alex Yoong - pretty akward that ad dont you think. Hehe...

Sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

2009-03-25T06:53:00.003+08:00

Silence please!

Anne is trying to think out of the box.

What do you do when the client review your work and says; "Belum cukup ummmph". Naturally, you ask what exactly do they mean. And what do you do when they say; "Hmmm, dont know"......??????

Hmmm, you go back to the drawing board, tear your brain apart, pull hairs, strain your eye sockets....

The customer is always right they say, so i'm figuring out the "ummph"

Ssssshhhhhh!

Kerja La la la la

2009-03-23T08:01:00.004+08:00

Sepatutnya hari ni ada workshop dengan client untuk bentangkan kerja yang i dah buat lebih sebulan ni. Nervous jugak i tunggu sambil prepare apa yang patut. Gembira jugak dan semangat nak habiskan kerja sebab lepas workshop tu, amend apa yang patut, dah boleh tutup projek.

Tapi minggu lepas dapat email postpone la pulak sampai 7 April. Adoi....ok jugak ada lebih masa nak siapkan kerja, tapi itulah, bila dah tau lambat lagi....saya pun rileks sikit...hmmm rileks banyak.

Tak boleh jadi ni.....ok lah, hari ni dah janji tak nak rileks rileks dah. Siapkan kerje dulu.

BROKEN

2009-03-20T06:32:00.003+08:00

Fell asleep on the sofa while watching TV. Woke up...and this.

Patah terus at the frame, i dont think boleh repair dah...

Urgh!!!!! Baru lagi specs ni. :-(

Ouch...

2009-03-17T19:43:00.003+08:00

Menahan kesakitan....:-(

Time kerja banyak ni, masa ni la nak sakit....padan muka...masa tak sakit hari tu tak siapkan.

Hoping for the medicine to kick in...FAST

Feelin' light headed now

Nak zzzz kejap.

Selamat Menyambut Maulidur Rasul

I would like to invite everyone to download/view this: Sirah Nabi Muhammad S.A.W.

Sempana hari yang signifikan dalam kalendar Islam, jom kita lebih mengenali dan menghargai sejarah hidup dan pengorbanan Rasullulah s.a.w., insyaAllah.

Biadap

2009-02-25T18:06:00.002+08:00

I just had the displeasure of speaking to someone who was extremely rude.

Uncalled for.

Tak suka betul.

K----- A---!!!!

Biar bodoh takpe, boleh ajar, tapi kalau dah biadap, no manners.........takde ubat.

It was a telephone conversation about work, and this guy had no business pun to be rude to me. In fact, takde kena mengena dengan dia. Someone who was there and overheard the whole drama, boleh call me and tell me dia yang dengar pun tumpang marah.

To this LELAKI BIADAP....you can go fly kites! Macam bagus.

So there, i let it out already............

Orang Iklan Era

2009-02-20T20:48:00.002+08:00

Kalau you all dengar radio ERA especially Riuh Pagi Era bersama Aznil & Din Beramboi mesti dah tau pasal kerja amal to raise funds for Rumah Nur Salam. If you haven't read here.

My company - ONE HR is making a pledge for donation. Sikit je, setakat mampu.

Someone from Era called to bring something to promote (yup, in return for your donation, they will give your company 10 minutes of fame).

Since i dont have any products to sell, i got the printers to blow up the company logo, cut paste the tagline n stuff. So that's my billboard right there.

Datangla you all!Come out and support the event at SOGO tomorrow (Sabtu) 12p.m. to 6p.m.

And support me and ONEHR!!!!, i was told my turn is about 12ish.

Jumpa di sana!

Round round here and there, buat penat je because last last i decided to get her Ikea vouchers je so she can get something that she needs.

I have to go get ready, my punjabi inspired outfit dah siap tu tunggu pakai je.

nanti i put up pics of me and the pengantin, and some friends yang sanggup beli sari for the occasion...(nampak perut kah???:-O)

Membebel

2009-02-10T07:07:00.003+08:00

Walaupun saya kerja sendiri, tak semua kerja saya lone ranger. Terutama kalau melibatkan projek yang agak besar, saya terpaksa bekerjasama dengan orang lain. Selalunya, mereka akan 'outsource' satu bahagian projek kepada saya mengikut kemahiran saya.

Since hujung tahun lepas, dah banyak kali saya 'terlibat' dengan projek macam ni. Saya tulis 'terlibat' macam tu sebab so far belum ada satu pun yang betul-betul materialise. Untuk secure projek yang agak besar, prosesnya memakan masa - dari 'scoping' projek, buat proposal, presentation to client - kadang-kadang berkali-kali, negotiate tawar menawar, tunggu tunggu dan tunggu....

Kalau ikut suka hati saya, projek kecil di mana saya atau company saya sendiri berurusan terus dengan client adalah pilihan saya. Saya boleh buat cara saya, boleh buat semua keputusan sendiri.

Baru-baru ini, ada satu projek yang besar macam saya cerita di atas. Ramai pihak yang terlibat. Pening kepala saya sebab macam-macam character ada. Bila kita kerja, kalau ada geng yang satu kepala baru la senang. Anyway, kalau office environment, kita dah kenal sedikit sebanyak orang di sekeliling kita perangai sorang-sorang dan macam mana nak handle.

Nasib saya la untuk project ni pelik pelik betul characternya. Seorang Makcik yang 'tak tahu apa sangat' tapi berani tender project 'mahal'. Business partner dia 'D' yang suka kacau saya dengan isu-isu yang buat saya naik hangin. Marketing guy 'H' yang 'macam gatal' dan tak professional langsung. Saya tahu tak baik kan saya melabelkan orang macam tu. Tapi itula...tetiba 'tercampak' untuk bekerja dengan orang yang kita langsung tak kenal, jumpa sekali terus kena deal dengan mereka.

Malam kelmarin Makcik call hari ni sepatutnya ada meeting. Project dah confirm...katanyer...Sampai pagi ni belum confirm lagi meeting jadi ke tak. Dah berkali kali false alarm macam ni. Saya dah boleh imagine betapa stressnya saya kat meeting nanti. Sebab orang yang tak tau pasal kerja saya akan cuba ajar saya macam mana nak buat kerja.

Saya tengah 'psyche-up' diri sendiri. Saya pilih kerja macam ni, saya kena terima semua ni sebab saya akan lalui banyak lagi project macam ni. Saya kena focus dan letak tepi isu-isu character dan cara kerja orang yg pelik pelik ni.

cukuplah membebel pagi-pagi ni

Ada Apa Dengan Cinta?

2009-02-05T13:59:00.007+08:00

Ada Apa Dengan Cinta? Apa itu Cinta? (waaah...gitu. Soalan dahsyat tu?) ok ok..serious ni..

The Merriam-Webster online dictionary defines LOVE as

(1):strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties
(2): attraction based on sexual desire : affection and tenderness felt by lovers
(3): affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests b: an assurance of love

Itu English definition. Perkataan LOVE boleh digunakan dalam berbagai situasi. Jadi, when you say 'I LOVE YOU', it can mean different things. Kadang-kadang yang ucap I Love You maksud lain, yang terima pulak tafsirannya lain.

Tapi dalam bahasa melayu, lebih dari satu istilah untuk 'define' perasaan terhadap seseorang.

CINTA ke?

atau SAYANG je?

atau macam SUKA la?

atau setakat MINAT je?

Jom test perhubungan you all atau perasaan terhadap sesiapa sajalah.

Cinta
Kita memang mengharapkan dia menjadi milik kita. Segala apa yang kita buat, kalau boleh nak dia tahu.. dan kita seboleh mungkin tak nak sakitkan hati dia. Kita akan sentiasa berfikir tentang dirinya. (dalam erti lain : cinta di tujukan kepada seseorang yg kita selalu ingat dan mimpi.. Tanpanya kita akan rasa sunyi dan kita cintakan sepenuh jiwa dengan hati yg ikhlas kepadanya walaupun dia buat tak tau je)

Sayang
Kita memerlukan dia di masa kita mahukan seseorang untuk berkongsi rahsia dan kisah duka kita. Selalunya kita akan sayangkan seseorang yang menjadi TELINGA kepada masalah kita. (dalam erti lain : sayang di tujukan kepada seseorang yang boleh membuangkan masa dia untuk mendengar dan memeningkan kepalanya dgn masalah kita dan kita jugak boleh menyakitkan hati dia kerana kita bukannya cinta kepadanya)

Suka
Kita sukakan dia kerana dia kelakar. Dia happy-go-lucky. Bila bersama dengan dia, kita rasa nak tergelak sampai nak pecah perut. Tapi, kita taklah rindu sangat kat dia bila tak berjumpa seminggu…(dalam erti lain : suka di tujukan kepada seseorang yang boleh menjadi pelawak kepada kita. Kita akan suruh dia diam sekirangnya kita dah nak pecah…)

Minat

Ada sesuatu pada dirinya yang menarik kita untuk mendekatinya.(dalam erti lain : minat ditujukan kepada seseorang yang ada sifat, peribadi atau barang yang kita mahukan… )

Tetapi kita kena ingat bahawa tanpa minat , suka dan sayang kita tidak akan CINTA pada seseorang itu…

Random Pics From Home

2009-01-28T21:34:00.004+08:00

I drove home for the long weekend for some family time.

Mak's garden is blooming with flowers.

Ini buah kedondong. Baru je tanam dah berbuah, pokoknya kecik je, tak sampai paras pinggang pun.

Siapa tak pernah tengok pokok kucai, macam ni la rupanya...ada flowers yang cantik.

Confused

2009-01-21T21:27:00.004+08:00

My brain and my heart is having a fight

I think I am my own worst enemy (for now)

"WE" are trying to sort this out

Cant Sleep

2009-01-14T02:02:00.002+08:00

Its almost 2a.m.

I doze off earlier...woke up about midnite.

Cant go back to sleep.

Must be the late dinner. Ate too much because i skipped lunch.

Bad idea.

So what do i do.

Eat some more....

Good morning!

Oxygen

2009-01-11T10:36:00.007+08:00

FACT:

'Oxygen can lift that feeling of depression, will improve circulation sending invigorating oxygen to your brain and all your muscles. '

I'm sure you've heard that before!

Anyway, pagi ni pukul 7.30 baru terjaga. Alarm subuh pun tak dengar...ishhh.

Dah bangun, tengok weather pun cool je...i decided that my brain needed extra oxygen to trigger some happy brainwave....Lagi pun dah lama tak ada pyhsical activity. So i drove all the way to the famous Tasik Shah Alam. (famous apa tau...tempat orang dating...sapa2 yg pernah duduk/ study kat Shah Alam tau sangat la kan). I tak pernah dating sini okkaayyy;-)

Nak jogging takut sakit2 badan esok. Almaklumlah....since i quit gym way back when.....tak pernah exercise. So, brisk walking saja....low impact.

The last time i was here must have been more than 5 years ago. Best jugak la kat sini.Boleh datang lagi.

Did the oxygen work??? I guess so. Rasa lebih energetic.

Sudah sudah la melayan emo Anne....start keje!

Mood Swing

2009-01-10T20:52:00.003+08:00

I was allright, on a good mood in fact since Jan 1st.

Today, after one phone call and an email (both unrelated), i'm not doing so good.

A bit angry...a bit depressed.

Worst still there's no one to blame.

Its not even too big a deal.

I am consoling myself. I cried a little..then i went to sleep for a while.

Of course i prayed a little 'doa' . That always helps.

and now i'm blogging about it, hoping that by typing this out, it gets out if my system.

See, i feel better already.

(forgive me if i sound like a nutcase)

Baju Kurung Pahang

2009-01-08T21:49:00.003+08:00

Kenapa I ambik gambar depan cermin ni?????

1. Sebab baju ni mak kasi masa raya haji. Hehehe, dah tua ni pon mak belikan baju raya...

2. Sebab ni first time la buat baju kurung style pahang ni...ada orang panggil pesak gantung (betul ke??) OK tak? I agak suka pulak cutting ni. Boleh buat lagi...ni bukan beli ready made...tailor seumur hidup, Ah Lian yg jahitkan. Upah Ah Lian untuk style pahang RM40, extra sikit. Baju kurung pesak biasa RM30-35 je...complicated sikit katanya....l

Ni saja mengada nak posing close up sorang-sorang. I had a meeting tadi petang. Meeting 3.30pm...pukul 2 dah siap. Sempat la posing dlm 'office' i kejap.

Semangat & excited lebih sikit sebab hari ni kick off project baru...first meeting for 2009, first project for 2009. Job kecik je tapi Alhamdullilah, kecik pun syukur.

10 Muharram

2009-01-07T06:59:00.003+08:00

Tahun Hijrah 1430...hari ni jatuh 10 Muharram, atau Hari Asyura.

Kepada kawan2 bloggers yang puasa sunat hari ni, selamat berpuasa. Semoga ibadah anda diberi ganjaran oleh Allah SWT.

Kalau masa kecik2 dulu, kalau hari Asyura, saya akan ingat bubur Asyura yg mak buat, dan jiran depan rumah yang kami panggil Mak Tuan. Jiran lain ada jugak hantar bubur, tapi tak sehebat bubur Mak Tuan.

Pagi ni saya google sejarah di sebalik Hari Asyura, dan saya kongsi di sini antara info yang saya dapat tentang signifikan di sebalik hari ini.

10 Muharam
Dinamakan juga hari 'Asyura'.
Pada hari itu banyak terjadi peristiwa penting yang mencerminkan kegemilangan bagi perjuangan yang gigih dan tabah bagi menegakkan keadilah dan kebenaran

Pada 10 Muharam juga telah berlaku:
-Nabi Adam bertaubat kepada Allah.
-Nabi Idris diangkat oleh Allah ke langit.
-Nabi Nuh diselamatkan Allah keluar dari perahunya sesudah bumi ditenggelamkan selama enam bulan.
-Nabi Ibrahim diselamatkan Allah dari pembakaran Raja Namrud.
-Allah menurunkan kitab Taurat kepada Nabi Musa.
-Nabi Yusuf dibebaskan dari penjara.
-Penglihatan Nabi Yaakob yang kabur dipulihkkan Allah.
-Nabi Ayub dipulihkan Allah dari penyakit kulit yang dideritainya.
-Nabi Yunus selamat keluar dari perut ikan paus setelah berada di dalamnya selama 40 hari 40 malam.
-Laut Merah terbelah dua untuk menyelamatkan Nabi Musa dan pengikutnya dari tentera Firaun.
-Kesalahan Nabi Daud diampuni Allah.
-Nabi Sulaiman dikurniakan Allah kerajaan yang besar.
-Hari pertama Allah menciptakan alam.
-Hari Pertama Allah menurunkan rahmat.
-Hari pertama Allah menurunkan hujan.
-Allah menjadikan 'Arasy.
-Allah menjadikan Luh Mahfuz.
-Allah menjadikan alam.
-Allah menjadikan Malaikat Jibril.
-Nabi Isa diangkat ke langit.

Wallahua'lam

A little pep talk would do us good:-)

2009-01-06T07:39:00.003+08:00

Don't worry!

Don't worry about how long it will take, or what others will think of you, or how difficult it will be. Just get busy and do it.

Instead of wasting your time and energy on worry, use that time and energy for action. Instead of visualizing what you don't want, create what you do want.

Of course there will be challenges, painful mistakes, embarrassing moments and difficult efforts. But instead of worrying about them and making them worse, just go ahead, work your way through them and get them over with.

Worry fills you with doubt, and doubt eats away at your dreams. Choose instead to take action, with so much relentless determination and intensity that there's no room for worry.

Even though there will always be problems, you are truly capable of greatness. Imagine yourself fulfilling that greatness, starting right now from where you are with what you have.
Then jump enthusiastically into the journey.

Forget the worries, and bring your best possibilities to life.

-- Ralph Marston

Australia The Movie

2009-01-04T18:20:00.004+08:00

When Jill asked me to go watch this movie with her, i said no initially. I imagined a western kinda flick...which is not my thing...and i dont usually enjoy Nicole Kidman.

I went anyways.

I couldnt have been more WRONG.

I loved the movie. Good story, beautiful cinematography, enjoyed the entire 3 hours.

It was like reading a good story book.

If you havent seen it, go watch it while its still playing.

p.s...ladies, Hugh Jackman is hot...almost McDreamy hot:-D

Why is it that i always end up with work at the 'best' of times?

Masa orang tengah syok-syok holiday, masa tu lah i have things to rush.

What to do......

I have 2 major things to finish. Baru siap satu semalam.

One more to go!

No Sweet Dream

2008-12-22T07:13:00.002+08:00

I woke up pretty early even before my 6.30 alarm went off.

I keep waking up and getting back to sleep with this weird dream. Very disturbing.

There was this guy - married! I dont know who he is. We are in a car together, and i was harrased. I keep pushing his hands away. Then i woke up.

When i went back to sleep, the dream continued...and i was planning an 'escape'. I was saved eventually. My aunty came into that dream, and i also ended up in a bus with my friend missqq wearing baju sekolah menengah.

Merepek betul....

Sound Check: UPDATED!!!!

2008-12-15T08:58:00.006+08:00

Something is not right with my right ear since Satuday morning.

Tak tau kenapa....bukan sakit. Tapi ada bunyi-bunyi. Especially bila ada bunyi bising, music, tv....the sound will bounce back with ringing in my ears. Tak tau nak explain macam mana. Bunyi macam burung pun ada.

Kalau bawak kereta, kena off radio - if not, tak tahan.

Semalam i had to meet someone kat kopitiam in Subang Parade. Adussss, the noise from the kitchen, the crowd, the sudu garpu....tak tau nak explain bunyi-bunyi macam macam dalam telinga. Setiap sound akan ada pantulan semacam dalam telinga...sakit kepala.

Balik tido....pastu hilang pulak.

Scary jugak. Pelik jugak. Pernah jadi kat you all mcm ni?

I woke up this morning, and its happening again. Tapi not as bad as semalam.

Nak pegi jumpa Dr Razana la kejap lagi, she's my trusted GP kat kawasan rumah ni....hope its nothing too serious.

UPDATED

OK - dah pegi klinik.

Dr Razana cakap the outer ear, yg dia boleh tengok dgn teropong telinga tu...nothing wrong, takde infection, wound or anything.

So must be the koklea part...which tak nampak. So susah nak tau cause dia. So she can only treat symptomatically. I got flu medicine in case i have a virus that might infect the koklea, and anti-anxiety pills...to relax..in case stress in causing the koklea instability. Then see one week, if still ada kena refer ENT specialist.

The only good thing is i'm not hearing things that are not there. Ada satu penyakit ni where orang tu dengar bunyi burung ke, cengkerik ke all the time dalam telinga, tapi sebenarnya bunyi tu takde pun. The medical term is Tinnitus. Kalau kena yg ni, takde ubat. Scary tau.

Alhamdulillah, so far takde bunyi-bunyi lagi. I pray its gone for good.

Blogger's Block

2008-12-14T09:49:00.003+08:00

I must be suffering from some kind of blogger's block...(if there's such a thing)

A lot of things going on lately, yet i just cant bring myself to post anything....
