2009: A Wrap Up

Pejam celik dah hujung tahun dah nih. Tahun ni memang mencabar utk seluruh keluarga aku. From the beginning of the year till the end. Not a good year for me, I think. The family feud went on with my parents’ secret unveiled and my mom went into depression together with my late dad failing health. Then, followed by death of family members (my late aunt and my uncle from dad’s side and lastly my late dad) about 3 months apart from each other. My dad passed away in Ramadhan and this is the 1st year that we celebrated Raya without him. DH lost his job at the uni and luckily, we survived the crisis with my side business income for nearly 3 months. He got a new job as HoU for a Government Agency at the city center but his traveling routine took my liberty of working late. We have spent less days with the in laws at Kemaman this year, not sure why but I believe it was due to limited leaves for DH when he started working at the new company. The kids enrolled into a nice Islamic Montessori school with reasonable fees. They can write, read, color and draw on their own better than last year. DH and I were struggling to finish up our Masters with late night study and writings. Work-wise was quite impressive although some of the things were in just by luck. For example, the company picked me as the one of the best researchers, and into the Talent Pool. DH maintained as OUM part-time lecturer and after we advertised his expertise in SPSS and EViews analysis online, more work coming in for him. Alhamdulillah. I closed my long-term project successfully ahead of time and secured another project before the year end. I went to Bakun Dam for work and outstation increases this year compared to last. My house still the same without new improvement and the lawn is still an empty greenish carpet with few planters on the rocks. We had a nice breakaway in February to Penang, but that was the only one this year.
This is a bittersweet year for me and my family. We gained something and lost something along the way. The biggest challenge was to swallow the whole truth about our relationship in my family. Many things we have taken for granted and we have learnt the lesson in a hard way. When I reflect those memories, I knew I am not a kind-hearted person but I am learning to be one. As another year has passed, I vowed to enjoy the life fully as though I will leave tomorrow and never come back. Praise to Allah, who has given all the beautiful gifts, joys and sorrows throughout this year, of which He knew we can endure. May the year ahead bring joy and happiness for every one of us. Amiin.

Keretaku..

Hari ni kereta ku pulak buat hal.. mujur lah perasan sebaik sahaja keluar rumah.. tayar belakang pancit kena skru yg dtg entah dari mana.. bagus juga anak-anak aku buka tingkap pagi-pagi, dpt dengar bunyi pelik tayar belakang tuh.. terpaksa lah DH tolong tukar tayar depan kedai akak jual kuih .. the girls seronok lah tengok ayahnye tukarkan tayar.. diaorg recall balik insiden tayar avanza pancit just after traffic light kat BSP. Kes Avanza tu lagi teruk sbb first time pancit, tayar spare pun aku tak tau ada kat mana dgn jack yg tk bley keluar. Tapi time tu ada mekanik lalu tolong aku, but then DH pun patah balik (selepas sampai KL pusing balik BSP). And tayar tu tak ganti pun lagi.. lambat lagi masuk ofis hari nih.. tengahari nnti nk kena gi kedai tayar pulak settle kereta tuh.. patut nye this week pegi service avanza tp aku teramatlah byk keje, and DH pun tak follow up dgn charge service tu, so biar je lah.. next week boleh gi kot sbb aku kena ambik cuti 4^th Jan anak masuk school, yuran sume tak bayar lagi.. and I have been carrying the yurans everywhere (sungguh bahaya!)..

Apa pun, sungguh lah tak faham, musim cuti sekolah kali ni 2 kali dah tayar kereta aku pancit sbb skru. Kifarah apa ni ye.. adakah Feng Shui rumah aku dah tak betul sbb wall deco sticker tuh? Or sebab 2 ekor turtle dalam rumah. Entah ler..

Hari ni kena produktif sbb semalam aku tengok GG sampai 5 episodes – Season 2 tak habis lagi. Chuck and Blair sungguh comel. Little J yg mental, Lonely Boy dan S yg entah apape. Nak tengok lagi tp keje kena buat dulu.

p/s: tahniah kepada CY 4.0 krn mencapai impian sebagai SAHM starting Jan 2010!

 

 

Purpose. Moment. Dream.

Be inspired. Make your Purpose. Follow your Dream.

 

Have a great week ending 2009!

Bonus oh Bonus

Hujung tahun mesti mengira bonus.. itu pun kalau ada nasib baik dapat le banyak sket. Tahun ni walaupun parent company untung, subsidiary dapat seciput je. Last year aku dpt KPI rating rendah sket, tp bonus nye sama banyak dgn tahun ini, yang mana tahun ni aku dpt KPI rating tinggi sket. Kesimpulannye, naik turun KPI tak memberi makna pun pada subsidiary. Lebih-lebih lagi kalau subsidiary tu terover OPEX nyer.. lagi parah le. Whatever pun, selepas dicampur tolak darab bahagi dgn expenses dan hutang piutang yg perlu dibayar, adalah sikit utk beli Saham 1Malaysia tu dan simpan ASB. January nnti start balik gaji macam biasalah. Yg pasti LHDN ambik tax banyakk! Tak kuasa aku.. menyampah gak PCB ni sbb tiap-tiap tahun aku over paid, pas tu nk claim balik punyelah liat LHDN nk bayar. Lain kali aku story pasal kes aku dgn LHDN tuh.

 

Meeting dgn IrDrA jap lagi. Cheerios!

 

 

A phone call..

It is amazing how technology helps you stay close to your family with just a phone call. I have been dreading to call my mom for couple of weeks considering that we cannot visit her during the long holidays – the weather is bad, nabilah has to attend classes, DH’s exam in Kemaman. The latest news DH’s dinner with SDARA Alumni on Saturday night! Ada ke patut.. buat le time lain yg org takde cuti panjang. I just hope I can attend my Alumni’s dinner next year (tahun ni dh lepas and I did not go because it’s pricey – RM100 for a dinner that we don’t actually eat because we’ll be too busy talking and mocking each other while dinner is on).

Anyway, I have spoken to my mom and she’s fine. Alhamdulillah. But she’s not over with my late dad’s second wife actions – this time the lady took half of my late dad’s pension money. So mak cuma dapat separuh because that woman claimed another half (and she already got a whole lot of pension money from her late 1^st husband, a grocery shop, lands etc – she IS a wicked woman after all). My family story has become like a drama plot. Adakah ini akibat daripada selalu tengok drama Melayu yg penuh sandiwara itu? Entah ler.. and my mom decided there will be no 100-day kenduri arwah because she felt that the other ‘wicked’ wife should throw a 100-day feast for stolen the pension money. So, after the land titles are settled, we will only have ‘thanksgiving’ feast for the whole village. Btw, the aunts and uncles from my late dad’s side have not shown their faces at my mom’s house since the funeral day. Do I still call them my family? I doubt it now.

This Saturday will be my Mom’s 62^nd birthday – gonna buy her some books to read to pass the time at home, and MPH is having a 20% sale at Alamanda Courtyard. Or should I buy her a magazine subscription instead? After all, she likes to stay at home and work in her garden.

Have a blast Tuesday!

MonaVie

Internet down pulak hari ni. Banyak info nk korek dari web tp tergendala lah. Tengok MonaVie dulu lah. My new venture. Well, aku memang le suka mencuba. Daripada eCosway, Zhulian, Shuang Hor, Era Edar, Hiraq, GTC, dan yg latest nih – Jus MonaVie. Ni sume network marketing (lebih kurang mcm Multi Level Marketing tp aku consume je bukannye dok menjual pun.. hehehe). Perfume je yg aku serius sket sbb demand banyak and paling penting PFA tu retail of high quality at affordable costs. Okay, berbalik pada Jus MonaVie ni.. aku kenal pun sbb satu blog ni yg bg review bagus tentang Jus MonaVie nih yg baru nk masuk Malaysia. Sebagai veteran (perasan!) dlm network marketing and MLM ni, org yg paling awal perkenalkan produk yg bagus ada banyak advantage i.e. senang nk dpt networkers lah although niat aku nk try health supplement yg diperbuat dari 100% fruit juices mostly from berries for own consumption lah. Rasa nye okay, tak de lah masam sangat. Just nice. Akak yg promote aku Jus MonaVie ni mmg vogue. Sekali pandang mcm garang, tp dia ok je. Setahun tua dari aku, tp nampak dia tua dari umurnye, maybe kurang ketawa kot. Hehe. Dia kata aku ada kolestrol banyak sbb muka aku ada jeragat. Mmg betul pun. Hehehe. Masa aku gi produk demo Zhulian BYoung, agent tu pun bagitau serupa. Kira betu lah apa diaorg observe cuma aku je tak reti-reti nk turunkan kolestrol tu sbb aku sememangnye suka makan makanan yg sedap-sedap. Hehe. So, diharapkan Jus MonaVie dapat menolong kurangkan kolestrol jahat dalam badan aku lah ye. Testimoni dari org lain memang banyak, dan harapnye semua tu betul dan sahih bukan direkacipta utk mencantikkan promosi dan marketing Jus MonaVie ni ye..

Kalau aku nk tambah produk pun cuma dalam website dan aku jual murah je lah, setakat lepas maintenance pas tu kot2 orang tu nk join membership Jus MonaVie ni. Btw, aku jadik member FREE je (offer sampai hujung bulan 28hb Disember 2009 je). Start January 2010, ada fee sikit but then kalau produk tu elok dan bagus utk kesihatan, even ada fee pun org akan join kan? kan? Ada banyak phamplet akak tu bagi, sesapa nk baca bagitau aku ye. Nnti aku letak dalam website.

Cepatlah online balik wahai Internet ofis.. apa lah orang ICT ni buat, makan lunch lagi ke.. sabar.. sabar..

Selepas cuti panjang..

Aku tak check email pun kt rumah. Masuk ofis pagi nih buka inbox.. mak aii!! 21 emails.. baru 3 hari tak keje. Silap pulak terserempak dgn boss yg dh tolong buatkan MTC paper aku. Hehehe. Terima kasih Boss!

Anyway, last weekend cuti Awal Muharram – Friday till Sunday. Friday duduk rumah, muhasabah diri dan family i.e spent the whole day indoor with food, games and a little spring cleaning effort. Saturday sibuk dgn Ballet Class si kakak dan wedding office mate kat Bdr Seri Putra. Sunday was movie outing day for Princess & the Frog and also visit to SIL kat Bt Caves (balik pukul 11 malam and this morning the kids susah sgt lah nk buka mata pegi rmh babysitter). Along the way were Gossip Girl sessions – Serena van de Woodsen, Blair Waldorf, Dan Humphrey and Nate Archibald. Best gak layan cite nih – Manhattan elite teenage group stories with endless parties, brand names shopping and puppy love. I guess this series fall under 18SX or PG13. Definitely not U type of TV Series.

Last week blog kena hacked and virus dh merebak, tk sure from which script yg aku install so aku delete je lah. This is the new blog. Coincidentally new year with new blog. This time my blog will be closed door. Private and confidential. Selepas aku hebahkan kepada rakan-rakan follower ku, pintu akan ditutup.

Have a nice week ahead everyone!

Header hilang?

Entah kenapa saya tak dapat view header blog sendiri, nampak kejap je pas tu hilang sepi.. terpaksalah type url blog rakan2 satu persatu.. mungkin sebab nk balik kampung hari tu, blog header pun merajuk kot.. or admin office ni dah block blog saya itu..

Hari ni baru masuk ofis selepas cuti 4 hari setengah.. meeting dgn supervisor cancelled tp ada meeting lain pulak. Akak Jus Monavie tu sungguh aktif menelefon bila boleh buat appointment. Bila-bila free sikit nnti boleh write in cerita cuti-cuti di kampung DH tempohari. Pantai, makanan dan sebagainya.

Buat masa ini, banyak laporan nk disiapkan. Gaji tak masuk lagi. YES terpaksa dibekukan. Walau bagaimanapun, baju kurung viscos cotton-ku telah siap. Suka nye saya J J

One moment

For one moment, I am deeply saddened with one of managers’ remark in my appeal for extension of unpaid leave back in 2006. They lack of empathy, not supporting the staff need to care for the family while accompanying the spouse. Let say we have no financial crisis during that time; I won’t be coming back here definitely. Until this morning, I did not know the fact the remarks were so harsh that I stopped for a moment to reflect on things that I have contributed to the company and whether my sacrifice for the company is worth for myself and my family. I realized that after 2006 until now, many people left the company especially those in specialized area to gain more outside working as consultant for the company. The company forbid one employee unpaid leave extension on the ground that the operation will be disturbed, the company lost a bunch of experts to outside companies. What you give, you get more of that without realizing it. It is a good thing for a good man like the late MD to support tiny people like me, but others are not. My prayers for his soul, Al-Fatihah. I am working with hypocrites in the office. I may think again about continuing the studies full time overseas and let other think about how to continue (or survive) the markets. For one moment, I felt that I barely exist in the company and moreover, working hard but not compensated fairly.

We've cleared..

The boss, AAR balik hari ni. Actually masuk ofis hari ni je, then he continued the leave until next year. What a bliss, to have a long year-end break. So luck he is, one project approved during his absence. Dengan ada nya boss hari ni, siaplah KPI kami untuk tahun ini. Lega rasanya, although some of the KPIs are not meant to be excellently executed. Ikut nasib lah kan. For me, up till now, baru je collect about 200K, mana nk cari the remaining 601K unless I put in extra hours for new project. So, I am targeting 801K to get excellent lah. We are cleared from the chain of online appraisal. Of which, I think only help in administration but implementation-wise still weak lah. I mean how you can ensure that everyone will honestly rate themselves. Surely put excellent lah to increase the rating. Our group went by the book, so, kalau tak meet target tuh tk payah le nk merayu ke apa ke nak naikkan rating. I personally does not want to burden my immediate boss, and by doing that I impose the same routine to my so-called sub-ordinates lah.. emm..

This week tinggal esok je. These last two weeks are the best time to work because less people will interrupt you and the bosses (most of them) will take a long leave. And bonus pun masuk lah tp seciput je.. sedey tahun nih. Entah apa boleh dibuat dgn bonus seciput tu saya pun tak tahu lah.

But I am glad that the boss has come back for few hours J

 

 

 

Money: Love Hate Relationship

People always remind me not to think about money. Money will come to you when you give out more. Betul ke?

Reflect back last week (and week before that) events:
1. Giving - amount yg diberi dh dpt cover balik, ada extra lagi tuh. More bottles of perfume essence sold, unexpectedly.
2. Sponsor contest gifts - contest belum habis lagi, but traffic to my site increases. Also, got opportunity to be reseller for kids toys and Japanese cottons.
3. Service - got paid!

Betul lah apa dikata. It is in the Power of your Mind jer. Law of Attraction really works!

Coach Clearance Sales Havoc

Terpanggil nk menulis sket psl Coach Clearance Sales nih which were held on 6th December 2009, at Hotel Armada PJ. Nk jadik cerita, aku pun plan nk gi tp bila tengok fund tk berapa meyakinkan DH utk pegi, so dok rumah je lah. Dpt updates dari member FB, all bags sold at 9:15 am. Time tu ramai giler org tunggu depan pintu, ada yg tunggu dari pukul 7 pagi. Kawan aku pun pegi gak. Iye ke sold out in 15 mins? Okaylah, saje nk konpem kan pegi lah tengok comments kat SnS website. Slalunye high profile sales macam ni mesti banyak komen. Memang betul. Sumpah seranah sume ada dlm comments box tuh. Nak jadi cerita mmg sales tu ada tp cuma 300++ bags je and pintu buka since pukul 7 pagi daa.. ada ke patut. Anyway, ada gak commentator bagitau diaorg dpt beli 2-3 beg (patut pun habis cepat..) and they are all real and authentic Coach. Most probably bought in USA boutique or factory outlet lah. The organizer is Bebito etc. (not Valiram Group ye.. which is Malaysian authorized distributor for Coach).

Anyway, dah tertulis entry ni, I want to share the findings on latest news for Coach lah:
1. There are online shops selling fake Coach bags. So, beware.
2. Coach bag with bullet mark (from Factory Outlet) cannot get service from Coach boutique (means cannot polish ur bag kalau dh kusam ler..)
3. Coach boutique clearance sale is up to 30% for last season item, and up to 50% for more than last season item.
4. Coach boutique is having Clearance Sale now.. hehehehe..

Ok, I am not buying anything Coach-cy yet, but am still dreaming for Parker's lah. DH said he can buy me one but I need to set a fund for his dream Big Boys motorbike. Duhh.. So, no motobike, no Coach. Buy on my own lah kan.. hehehe..

Oh yes, I have visited Ms.Read website that sell fashions for plus sized woman. Designs are not bad, but pricey maaa.. might as well print out the photos and bring to tailor for tailor-made blouse.. hehehe..

Till then..

Flat Tyre Day!

Semalam (or the day before kot) tayar belakang sebelah kiri kurang angin. Pagi ni rear right tyre pulak flat habis. Aduss! Time aku nk hantar the kids pegi school pulak tuh. Barang kat belakang punyelah banyak - donation boxes yg tk sempat nk drop off petang semalam. Called DH for like ages (sbb time tu dia atas moto nk pegi keje). First time Avanza ni flat tyre nyer. Punyelah payah mencari tayar spare Avanza tu and the jack. Semua berskru. Setengah jam jugak cuba nk buka mende-mende tu (more likely searching for them lah). Nasib baik ada sorang mekanik singgah tolong tukarkan tayar. DH arrived half an hour later. While the kids made themselves busy memunggah buku-buku dalam boxes itu. Suka hati lah anak-anak. Yg paling lawak, kakak boleh shout to those passerby "Ada sesiapa boleh tolong pam tayar tak?". Hahaha. Last night, she saw me pumped her flat bicycle tyre and thought it would be a good idea if someone has a pump for the flat car tyre.
Akhirnya, aku masuk ofis lambat and found out that the donation drop off box pun dh takde kat Country Heights tuh. But then, I got 5 bottles of perfume essence order today. Rezeki flat tyre day kot. Alhamdulillah.

Lesson learnt: For Avanza car, the jack is under front passenger seat (open the screw and you can take it out). The spare tyre is under the boot, open the screw and pull out the tyre. How to use the jack? Ikut suka lah, asalkan flat tyre side terangkat. Jgn lupa ketatkan semua screw kat tyre yg baru dipasang tuh (of which I can only advise, but practically, I will wait for Auto Shop to open and ask for mechanic to tighten the screws. Hehe). Oh one more thing, it is a good idea to have mechanic phone number residing within your routine route. Just in case you are stuck like me, help can come immediately. Else, pray hard that your flat tyre is along highway - PLUS Ronda will help you out. Hehe.
Take care everyone!

A treat?

Yesterday, the project was approved (technically) for the amount and duration proposed. I was the 1st presenter and by 3:30 pm already walked away from the Board Room as happy bee. Malam tadi dapat lah tido lena sket. Hehe. That evening I went to She Qeen's Collection shop and bought Viscose Cotton sepasang (and will tempah at her shop too for RM29 sepasang today). My pink Japanese cotton baju kurung belum siap lagi. I am out of new clothes now that getting thinner (perasan!) most of my baju kurungs went to donation je sbb besar sangat. Nak cari blouse pun susah gak, asyik ler tak berkenan.

Anyway, as a treat for me because the project was approved, the list of things I want and will save to buy:
1. Cotton baju kurungs - done!
2. Bling-bling - most probably crystal bracelet (still contemplating nk beli ke idak.. hehe)
3. Blouse & trouser

For my kids: Kitchen Center
For my DH: A new iron-less Batik shirt

This afternoon will have another presentation. Tomorrow morning another one, and afternooon just a discussion. After that, can shop around for the treats and have a good break.
