Nyum Nyum

Nyum nyum nyum....mulut ni terus mengunyah. Dari lepas breakfast dgn nasi kerabu pagi td, mulut ni masih lom berhenti bekerja.

Masuk je ke bilik, teruskn usaha dgn makan asam...kunyah dan terus kunyah.... Dan sambung lagi dgn wafer Milo. Dan akan disambung lagi dgn kacang.

Agak2nya kalau la perut dan mulut ni blh bersuara (bersuara??) agaknya dia ckp, "Cik Puan, blh tak berhenti kejap dari masukkan mknn sbb sy nak berehat seminit dua"

Best gak ni sambil kunyah mengunyah layan lagu2 lama...Skrg ni tgh dgr lagu "Kita Insan Biasa" nyanyian Jay Jay ngan Dayangku Intan. Layannnnn...

Rajin vs Malas

Tak tahu la ngapa, tetiba rajin jer nak tulis menulis kat blog ni. Cam ada jer idea nak menulis. Tp tak elok la kan, sbb skrg ni waktu keje

Bab nak buat keje mls plak...Ishhh, tak blh, tak blh...fokusssss....fokus buat keje..
Jom sambung buat keje...

Single vs Double

Ada kawan aku yg dah kawin ckp ngan aku, dia jeles tgk aku sbb aku still single. Cam best jer hidup. Dan sbg seorg yg ada problem ngan laki, yg pernah bercita2 utk bercerai dan hidup sendiri, bagi dia best dan senang kalau hidup tanpa laki.

Aku skdr blh berkata2 dlm hati jelah kan...even mulut aku just ckp, pikir dulu, jgn bila dah berlaku baru nak nyesal. Dan hidup sebagai janda (yelah dia kan kawin, dan beranak pinak, dan 'bakal' bercerai kalau dia bertindak utk menceraikan dirinya) bukannya senang. Yelah dah mcm2 kita tgk, dgr, bagaimana pancaroba hidup sbg seorg janda yg berstatus ada anak ni.

Bg dia senang sbb tak yah pikir pasal laki, dia sudah bergaji besar yg mampu utk menyara hidup dia dan anak2. Yelah, selama ni pun, dia gak yg sara satu famili (dah laki dia cam kena hasut ngan kekawan, terus perasan nak senang lenang mkn duit bini padahal sblm ni elok2 jer jadi laki yg baik)

Tp bg aku sbg seorg yg masih menyendiri hingga sekarang, it's not easy seperti mn yg dipikirkan. Rsnya ok la kan, kalau walaupun sendiri, tp u still have ur family around yg akan tlg every step you do, kan. Tp for me, yg everything, every single thing in my life, I have to do or manage my own, I tell u la kan, its not easy la...

Kena tipu, org perlekehkan diri kita, buli kita, mcm2 aaaa...Hanya kami2 yg masih menyendiri jer tahu camner perasaan tu. Its not like we're dying to have man in our life tp sifat manusia, bila deal ngan lelaki, banding ngan deal ngan pompuan, lain beb. Mentang2 kita ni pompuan, asyik la kena buli situ sini. Kita berkeras camner pun, org still nak perlekehkan kita.

Geram, sedih semua ada..tp entahler...susah utk diluahkan. Hidup sorang ni, ada pro and con nya. Mmg part2 nak bergerak, nak buat decision tu, mmg senang aa...Pikir diri sendiri jer, tp part2 lain, kkdg perlukan sahabat utk berkongsi suka duka, utk berkongsi masalah dan mcm2 hal dlm hidup kita ni.

Bak kata kawan aku, hidup berdua pun ada pro and con, hidup single pun sama gak. Jgn kata hidup single takder masalah, hidup single ni lagi byk masalah. Cuma macam mana kita deal masalah dlm hidup kita ni.

Kenapa aku tetiba bercerita pasal ni? Sbb baru jer dpt call dari my single fren, pasal dia kena buli pasal hal beli rumah.

Aku yg masih tensen ngan owner lama rumah aku yg bangang, buat senyap, tak nak bagi kunci rumah, tak nak byr hutang api air, tak nak byr kos baiki rumah..Mmg dasar mamat 'keikhlasan' yg bangang. Don't talk about keikhlasan, pasal agama kalau diri sendiri pun dok aniaya org...

HELP!!

Skrg ni tgh dgr lagu Revolusi by Bunkface. Rasa nak hangguk2 kepala tp takut plak ada yg terperasan aku terhangguk2 cam apa jer kan...Kata aku tak betul ke apa plak kan..Heheheh..

Teringat masa kat ofis kat Serdang dulu. Aku biasa la kan, bila dah dgr lagu kot headphone ni, aku pasang kuat2 lagu. Baru ada feel. Lagipun sebagai satu cara utk aku tak hiraukan org lain, dok dlm dunia aku sendiri. Dan kkdg dlm time2 aku dgr lagu ni, mulut pun kkdg terikut la sekali nyanyi. Then one day, which is ada la dlm bbrp minggu lagi nak start AF (masa tu tgh hangat audition AF), aku dgr la lagu sambil dok nyanyi2. Tp masa tu mmg aku pikir aku hanya gerakkan bibir jer, ikut lagu tu. Mn la tahu rupanya, aku mmg nyanyi sekali..Maklumlah telinga tak dgr. Kiranya lama la gak...then kawan aku ni dtg kat aku sbb dia nak pass doc apa ntah. Then dia tanya la, "wah...nyanyi nmpk, prepare utk audition AF ker?" Terkejut gak ler kan, terus skype member sebelah, tanya dia, kuat sgt ker org nyanyi. Dia ckp la, takderlah kuat, tp dgr lah satu bilik tu org nyanyi...ADuhhhhhhh malu sihhh...dahler bukannya tahu pun lirik, main humming jer pun. Mn yg tahu lirik, ikut sekali la...

So start dari ari tu, nyanyi dlm hati jelah....Hahahahaha

Kenapa aku minta tlg?? takder kaitan pasal aku nyanyi2 tu pun. Hehehe..Sbnrnya aku kebosanan. Bukan bosan sbb takde keje, tp keje berlambak2. Masalah skrg...camner yek nak dptkan semangat nak buat keje ni. Penyakit mls tu lebih dari segalanya..Aduhai...Aku dah sampai abis dah surf semua site yg biasa aku pi. Tp nak start keje tu cam alahai....Ishhh teruk tul kan...

Tak blh gini, kena gak gerakkan badan, start doing things...Go!! Go!! Go!!

How to be More Effective in Work??

What I hate most bila kena isi 360 adalah part ni. Sbb dia dlm bentuk subjektif not objective yg kita blh pilih2 jawapan yg ada. Its ok to evaluate your self but bila part nak evaluate org lain?? Duuhhhh...apa yg kita rs org tu perlu utk bg dia more effective bila keje?? Aku rs paling penting satu jer.... GOOD SALARY....hehehe.. ada yg object tak?

So bila part isi mengisi benda2 alah2 ni, it's time we need Uncle Google to help us. So inilah antara jawapan2 yg Uncle Google bagi.

How to be More Effective at Work (by Bing Wilson)

1. Be on time. Being on time is a matter of commitment. Blaming the traffic for being late can get old after a while. If you live in an area where traffic can be a problem, give yourself time allowance to get to work. Getting to work early is better than getting there late. It gives you time to relax and breath easier before starting your day. Being late can make a person nervous. Scrambling to get started with your day is not a good way to go.

2. Work on all hours that you are paid for. To become productive at work, one has to consciously use his or her time and energy effectively to produce what is expected. Using working hours for socializing and checking out personal emails and navigating the Internet for personal entertainment will not add to the value of the employee. Keep your focus on matters that truly needs your attention.

3. Stay away from gossips. There is nothing worst than going to the same work environment while people talk about you behind your back. Refrain from negative conversations that can lead you nowhere. Put yourself in the position of the person being talked about. How would you feel? Besides gossiping creates negative energy, it is a total waste of time. Negative energy can drain you of strength.

4. Volunteer to do more than what you are paid for. If you want your boss to start noticing you, you need to step up to the plate. Start doing more than what is written in your job description. Do the extra work happily, professionally and excellently. Document what you have done well. When evaluation time comes, this can help you to see how much leverage you may have for future promotion.

Dan yg lain plak

1) Work on your high payoff activities

High payoff activities are revenue-generating. These comprise marketing, delivery and business development. Determine which activities are revenue-generating and make sure that you allocate time every day for this. Wherever you can, delegate out the rest, especially those tasks that are not your forte.

Ask yourself, "Why am I doing this?" This allows you to determine firstly, whether the task should be done at all, and secondly, whether you are the right person to be doing it.

(2) Chunk your day into set time chunks

Do the same thing at the same time each day and then stick to that routine. For example, do your marketing activities at the same hours each day. Check emails at the same times each day and so on. Allocate the times for the various activities according to your own energy rhythm.

Again, it comes back to knowing yourself. If you're going to shuffle things along to a time that never happens, don't.

This is a powerful technique which I would never have guessed would be as effective as it is. It's allowed me to work half-days with peace of mind, knowing that if I cover the items that have been chunked into the day, I'd have completed the important things I need to do. With this, I no longer get to the end of the day feeling as if I've spent the whole day at the desk and yet not achieved much.

(3) Outsource and delegate

This was one I resisted for a very long time because I felt that I "should" be doing it all myself - especially in the early days of my business. I insisted on doing the book-keeping myself, for example, because I'm a qualified chartered accountant and I knew how to. But I dreaded the day each month that 'd allocated to book-keeping. As soon as I outsourced this, I felt such a sense of freedom. And more importantly, it freed up time for me to spend on other more lucrative activities, like preparing for talks at associations and conferences, or writing articles for publications.

The same thing happened with maintenance of my website. I quite enjoyed creating my website but maintaining it was a different matter.

Plus, these tasks are administrative in nature and definitely not revenue-generating.

So which tasks to you know that you don't enjoy doing but you keep on doing it because you think you should? Outsource and delegate those as a matter of priority.

If you're thinking that you can't afford it, do think again. I wouldn't advise that you go into debt in order to outsource, but outsource even when you think you aren't at the income level you think you should be at before you do so. It will free up your time and energy and open up avenues for more income.

(4) Take inspired action when the inspiration hits

Sometimes inspiration hits us in the middle of nowhere. It doesn't work by the clock. So when you get the inspired idea, you're going to have to be the judge and take the most appropriate inspired action.

If it's an article topic, write it down in an "Ideas Journal". If you get a string of points for a talk you're giving, write them down. Then carry on with whatever you're focused on. If it's an inspiration to phone someone, tune in - is it just the idea to phone that person or is it the intuitive hit to actually make that phone call straight away. Learn to listen to your intuition and ideas, and learn to discern whether the inspired action is to just write down the ideas and carry on, or briefly stop what you're doing to act on the idea immediately.

Once again, it comes back to knowing yourself. Be honest! If you're one of those people for whom inspiration hits but you talk yourself out of it over time, then, you must take that inspired action immediately, before you talk yourself out of it.

(5) Only check your emails at set times

Resist the temptation to check your emails every time one comes in. Email is addictive. Set specific times in the day to check your emails and only check your emails then.

When you get to your emails, deal with the ones that need attention immediately. Batch up any others to read into a "To Read" folder and read them when you get to your reading time. Then clear it out.

My goal every day is to get my Inbox down to less than a page long...and I'm working on getting it totally clear each day.

(6) Create a "To DAD" List

Don't carry everything around in your head. It takes up energy needlessly. Get everything down onto a list and you'll find that you'll clear your head. The "To DAD" list is your "To Do And Delegate List".

In the left hand column, write down the to-dos for yourself but only write down those items that you absolutely MUST do today. (Clue: High payoff activities and those for which you have an imminent deadline). You should have only a few items in this list, no more than 5.

Everything else goes in the right hand column - "To Delegate". Allocate whom to delegate each task to - your virtual assistant, your webmaster, your book-keeper, and whomever else you outsource to, and also your Divine Self (or Higher Intelligence or Universe or Source, whatever you call it). Typically, the items that I delegate to my Divine Self are things that I know are coming up for me that I want worked on "in the background". Examples are: Get ideas for my next newsletter topic, line up 60 people for my preview teleseminar, get 5 clients ready to sign up when we launch the website product.

Doing this allows you to free up your mind and releases energy that you can channel into the activity you are focusing on.

(7) Stop multi-tasking

If you think about it, there really isn't any such thing as multi-tasking. We can only ever focus on a single activity at any one time. You may be able to handle a number of things in quick succession relative to someone else, but at any point, you can only do one thing.

If, for example, you're listening to a class recording and writing emails at the same time, you're actually zoning in and out between one and the other. You miss bits and pieces in between, and ultimately it takes you longer to get things done. If your class recording isn't important enough for you to be fully present with it, then don't bother listening to it.

Malas nak mengedit apa yg tak perlu...but it's good to practice this. But tak guna pun utk evaluate org lain but berguna untuk diri sendiri,.... Good Luck!!

Agak2 blh ke jadi gini?? Hahaha..ish ish...kena ada aim kan??

Parents 2

Beberapa minggu lepas aku pi Perak. Menghadiri majlis pengkebumian arwah pakcik (husband to my mother's sister actually) yang meninggal sebab kanser paru2. Dah lama sebenarnya kitaorg tak bertemu sesama sendiri antara anak beranak arwah mak ni especially sepupu2 kitaorg ni. Maklumlah adik beradik mak ramai, laktu masing2 bukan tinggal satu negeri, tp berlainan negeri. So bukannya senang untuk berjumpa. Tambahan plak, adik beradik mak, sorang demi sorang yg meninggal. Semakin menjarakkan hubungan kami sepupu sepapat yg masa kecik2 dulu kira agak close la kan.

So menghadiri majlis ni, seakan2 satu reunion utk kitaorg satu famili besar ni. Imagine la jumpa balik our cousin yg rsnya last jumpa masa kitoarg sekolah2 dulu lagi. Mmg lama sgt tak jumpa derang2 ni. Cam biasa la kan, bila dah jumpa, its a time for us utk contact balik, bertukar cerita, bertukar telefon. Dan masa ni mcm2 cerita la yg kitaorg dpt tahu.

Entahler, bila aku tahu apsal cerita pakcik (not yg meninggal tu, but my late mother's brother), tetiba aku sebak jer. Nak2 bila baca artikel pasal anak derhaka tu, lagi la buat aku tambah2 teringat kat my father. Tu yg smlm tetiba call dia, tanya khabar berita dia. Rindu sihhh...hehe

Citer pasal parents ni, cam terkilan dan sedih gak ler dengan apa yg terjadi to my uncle kan. Imagine la kan, kita membesar dgn dia, walaupun tak dok ngan dia, tp setiap kali school holiday, rumah dia lah jadi mangsa kitaorg. Kitaorg akan dok umah dia, imagine la dari kecik sampai la aku lepas SPM. Kalau nak dtg KL (kalau org kg, Selangor pun panggil KL gak), umah dia lah kitaorg terjah padahal ada lagi makcik yg dok KL ni. Tp mungkin pakcik makcik aku ni jenis yg selamba rock, tak kisah umah dia jadi tmpt anak2 sedara lepak, so kitoarg cam selesa kat situ. Rumah dia bukan besar mn pun, tp ada la tmpt kitaorg nak tidur kan. Tp tula, masa aku belajar english course, bosan dok umah sewa, aku pi la umah dia. Walaupun dok umah dia, bukannya berckp pun ngan derang (aku kan pemalu orgnya). Tp tu la, pakcik makcik aku ni bukan jenis berkira, nak lepak umah dia, meh jelah...

Sbb dari kecik tgk dia, mmg kitaorg tahu la kan, camner dia layan anak2 dia. Mmg anak2 dia dilayan dgn kemewahan, apa yg anak dia nak, semua dpt. Dari kecik sampai la ke besar. Tp igtkn bila dah besar, anak2 la plak kan tanggung mak ayah kan. Mana tahu, anak2 dah beranak pinak, keje semua best2, tp ayah nak minta tlg isikan minyak kete pun berkira giler. Sedih beb dgr citer pasal pakcik sorang ni. Yelah dulu dia keje best2, gaji besar, cuti sekolah pun kkdg pi oversea..anak2 dia masa bljr kat oversea pun, nak pi travel mn2, minta duit jer, dia bg. Tp bila dia dah tua ni, tak mampu ada pendapatan sendiri, blh plak anak2 berkira giler ngan bapak sendiri. Masa arwah pakcik kat Perak tenat masuk hospital, pakcik nak pi melawat, tp duit takder nak byr tol, nak beli minyak kete. Harap kat anak2, tp aduhai berkira giler. Mujur la kitoarg ni, sepupu sepapat lain yg masih igt kat pakcik yg kalau dulu, tak berkira ngan kitaorg ni, tolong apa yg patut. Siap kumpulkan duit utk bg kat pakcik. Abg aku plak tlg angkut dia sekali pi Perak. Masa abg ipar aku belanja dia mkn kat cafe hospital, dia siap ucap terima kasih tu cam how precious mknn yg dia dpt tu. Aduhai sedihnyaaa...cam tak sangka la kan, pakcik yg berduit dulu, tp bila tua tak berduit ni, anak2 tak igt langsung pengorbanan ayah derang yg suatu ketika dulu korban mcm2 kat derang.

Sejahat mn ayah kita pun, seteruk mn ayah kita pun, dia tetap ayah kita kan. Dan bila dgr citer gini, kitaorg adik beradik cam bersyukurla kan. Kitaorg tak mcm gitu. x mcm dlm citer2 kat tv tu, tak mcm yg kita dok baca kat paper2. Kitaorg membesar dgn kesusahan, dgn keperitan, dgn kekurangan, tp bila kitaorg besar, kitaorg berjaya kecapi semua benda yg suatu ketika dulu kitoarg tak dpt kecapi. Tp dlm itu, kitoarg tak pernah lupa pada parents kitoarg. Tak pernah ego, sombong dgn parents kitaorg dgn apa yg kitaorg ada. Tu yg kitaorg ckp, hopefully ayah aku bersyukur sbb dpt anak2 yg tak pernah lupa pada dia, tak pernah layan dia cam gitu, anak2 dia tak pernah lokek dgn dia, sentiasa manjakan dia walaupun di sudut hati anak2 terguris. Tp sesungguhnya kitaorg ikhlas sbg satu balasan di atas pengorbanan dia selama ini...Tanpa dia, siapalah kami...

Sayang ABAH..
