F.R.U.S.T


‘Lunch’ td mkn laksa penang blikt kedai mesra kt ‘concourse’ ms turun utk carik mknn mengisi perut di waktu pagi. Meeting lambat lagi masa tu, jam baru 8.30 pagi, perut terasa kosong yg teramat. Kalau meeting buat kul 9 pagi, sah2 la saya tunggu masuk meeting dan terus capai refreshment yg di’order’.

Kalau ikutkn hati yg tersangat mls nk turun lps dh masuk ofis, mmg kelaparan la menunggu 10.30 pagi. Sebab rakan sejawat beritahu, die cuma order light refreshment ajer. Untuk saya, sudah pastilah xmencukupi sbb breastfeed mother ni, mmg kuat mkn! Asyik lapar jer kejenye! He..he..he..;)

Jadi, saya pon turun dlm jam 8.30 pagi, ‘’tiiiitt”, check out kt pintu utama opis, tekan ‘button’ lif, “ding!”, lif sampai, dan membawa saya turun ke aras pertukaran lif. Ha, sbb kene tuka2 lif ni la yg buat sy tersgt mls nk turun cari bekfas. Ofis sy di awan biru..eh..bukan keje atas kapal terbang, saya kerja di menara…dulu2 lagi tinggi..skang dh turun lebih kurang 20 tingkat tp masih lg tinggi dan perlu tuka lif, mmg xde jln shortcut dah.

Sampai kt bwh, check out kt entrance menara pulak, dan terus pegi kedai mesra kt concourse tu bli bekfas, mi goring dan laksa bekalan utk lunch. Pasal dh kata mls nk turun kn!

Eh, sampai 3 paragraf cite psl pagi td, ekceli nk cite ttg tajuk di atas.OK, skang citer yg berkaitan, kang kene tolak markah sbb terpesong…kembali ke jln yg lurus..

Meeting habes lewat sket, termkn waktu lunch siket, sume pon siket2.He..he..he..isi perbincangan, hal2 keduniaan semata-mata. Tapi perlu demi menjaga keamanan sejagat.Cewah!

Abes meeting terus p mkn laksa tu, ok make it short. Pas abes mkn laksa tu, saya berkeputusan nk turun bwh nk cari sesuatu. Jadi hal yg berlaku pg td, terjadi sekali lagi (hal naik turun lif ler!). Sampai bwh, terus menuju ke lokasi yg telah diset dlm GPS kepala saya. Tapi tersasar jugak, terwindow shopping kt M&S tgk ape barang baru yg diletak hari ni..aiseh..habit sungguh! Pastu baru GPS kepala saya recalculated destination. Heh, sape ade GPS sure faham..psl bila kita amik jln lain drpd yg GPS tu dh map kn..nnt bising mulut GPS tu dok ckp..”recalculating”.

OK, dh sampai destinasi, hah..kedai ape??..PRIMAVERA jer! Last week dh ushar mai, tp xbli ape, tp (byknyer tapi) adela aim kt sepsg kasut ni..hah! Kata pose kasut sethn 2..haish! Nafsu semata! So, sampai balik umah dok terigt2 kt kasut tu..tihihi..murah jer RM40, very comfy, sgt ringan dan menambah ketinggian saya! (penting tu!).

Masuk kedai ala2 berlagak vogue la konon, sebenarnye lekeh jer, dgn bwk beg bunjut bli ms g Austria dulu dgn sandal flat Clark bli kt outlet dulu, mmg selekeh! Serius! So pusing2, tgk2, cari2, ada la design seakan tp xde SALE, arghhhhhhhhhh…sah..bukan rezeki saya nk memiliki kasut itu..dan saya berjaya mempositivekn…dgn membli eskrem BK (burger king) utk cool down kekecewaan saya..eheh…ms nk balik ke menara dok ckp kt diri sendiri (nk menyedapkn hati sebenarnye!) xperla…jimat RM40 utk harini..RM40 tu leh cover mkn utk 4 hari tu…J

MARAHKE???

Semua org ade anger. Ada tahap berbeza-beza, dr thp segan silu nk mrh ke thp déjà-vu. Saya pnah marah, you pun pnah gak nk mrh org xtentu psl kn?..Kdg2 dlm diam kita ada rs xpuas hati kt org tu, kita rs mrh kt die…sedar-sedar..kita telah menambah lahar dlm diri sendiri..org tu xrugi ape pon…kita yg rugi…sbb bila mrh, kita menggunakn tenaga..kan lebih baik tenaga tu kita gunakn utk sesuatu yg mendtgkn faedah buat diri kita ataupon buat org keliling kita….betul x?

Wat penat jer nk mrh2 org ni..seriusly..pengalaman sy yg asyik dok mrh anak…heeeee…penat…sbb budak tu xrugi apa pon…tp sebenarnye rugi la sbb die xdpt belaian drpd saya…saya suka belai anak saya…sbb saya syg anak saya..dan akan terus membelai sehingga die besar sbb die anak saya…(sok dah kawen xde lah nk belai2 dia dah ehhh…agak2 ler kan..sesuaikn dgn keadaan…haish…xkn ler tu pun nk kene peringat!..heee)

Yg saya kurang snang, kurang gemar and rs annoying nyer! Bila ada segelintir manusia…die mrhkn org lain tp tempiaskn kt org lain..bg sy org cani kn…die blum matang ttg kehidupan…kut ya pon mrh kn seseorg, jgnler p mrh org lain pulak kn…(peringatan utk diri sy jugak!..kdg2 terlps jugak!..sorry yer kwn2 kot2 ada yg kene tempias saya….ampun ya madam!..heeeee)…

Control2 ler mrh…takut kita terlalu ikot amarah kita tu…kdg2 mrh tu berpunca dr hasutan setan…(yeke?) lain kalau kita marah org tu xnak tunaikn solat ker, menipu ke, mencuri ke…yg terang lg bersuluh sdg melakukn kemaksiatan….

p/s: nk cpt reda mrh, minum air sejuk byk2…idak pon baca matsurat, idakpon baca la Al-Quran, idakpon, amik wuduk……yer dak…

ROADMAP

A company, to be successful, or in par with most successful company, has, had a roadmap that is set upfront in order to achieve goal(s) at the very end of forecasted vision. To simplify, imagine, you are in London central, you have map in your hands, and you are currently standing just right under the BIG BEN in London! You already have your end point. And from the map, you can see the path that leading you to you end point. Now, how to get to the end point? How to survive until you reach the end point. Here is not the survival after all but still you need to fill in your stomach and thirst right! The ‘HOWS’ will determine whether you will be successful in reaching your end point or not.

Same goes to the roadmap designed for a company to succeed! Here, I am not writing as I am a CEO of a company (how I wish I’ll be elected as one of the top gun in this company but it’s a long way to go…and hardest position to achieve but I love to be ambitious in a way!). My company does the same too, I bet, all company has their roadmap, not even company, my department also has its very own roadmap. It is an important ‘tool’ for us to set end in mind on where we going to. The journey would be zig zag or straightforward depending on how you think it would be or how you want it to be. Some leaders may be Ok with risk-taking along the road but some are avoiding it. Yes, everything involves risks, and actually the risk makes the journey challenging and resulted in ‘colorful’ experience.

OMG, what am I writing on this! Gosh!

Actually I am currently analyzing on how to interpret a roadmap derived by others to be put into a new look with new revision of current roadmap! And also, I need to facilitate one of the dept to come out with their new roadmap which I am still thinking of the best way to kick off this task!

p/s: In our life, we can have our own personal roadmap too, therefore, our life will be more focus and organized!


Example of roadmap!

TEAMBUILDING


Tidak lama lagi, pejabat akan mengadakan ‘teambulding’ di Port Dickson. Arghh…suatu keputusan yg sgt2 diluar pilihan saya sbb saya perlu memikirkn hal anak2 saya terutamanya yg kecil comel itu.Saya ni suka buat tinjauan, jd saya meninjau pendapat kwn2.

A: Team building biasa kongsi bilik, org selalu buat 3 hari 2 mlm kt tpt jauh2..aktiviti sampai ke malam..penat…especially kalau ‘Per****’ yg handle..

B: Taknakla bwk family, leceh la, nnt anak nk buat homework, susah, tp terpulanglah, sape nk bwk, bwkler..

C: I xpegi, ada kenduri kawen, tp takpela, you all teruskn.

D: I ada komitmen lain, terkene hari yg sama pulak..macamana yer, boleh tak xpegi

E: Tak buleh bwk family, nnt ade org lain xpuas hati psl die sorg2 pulak..

And the list go on….byk…tell u…bkn snang nk organize event2 camni, nk dptkn komitmen org..susah…nk dptkn agreement org pon susah….saya cuma ad-hoc komiti jer…sy pon xkisah nk buat ke tidak…sbb bende ni bukan pilihan sy…sbb die mkn 1 hari weekend sy yg sy dh allocate utk anak2 sy…anak2 sy berhak ke atas sy during weekends, public holiday, annual leave dan segala jenis cuti lahh…kecuali cuti ganti..di mn cuti ganti adalah utk diri sy sendiri…jadi…nk tahu x pendapat sy…and lagi satu….kiterg dilarang…sekali lagi…dilarang..utk adakan family day selain family day cum hari sukan yg timbul yearly tu, tu pun xpegi psl jauh kedaung kat bangi dibuatnye…dan penuhla org…psl nye..org kampong dtg bersuka ria sekali…hmm…sedih, sbb nk elak dr mulut org awam mengata…tgklah…kami xley buat family day dah!!!

TANTRUM for 4 years Old

Question: What causes tantrum to happen?

Answer: A LOT OF THINGS can lead to it…

Mark, I hope you permit me to display your art here! It’s marvelous.

Yup, I have a 4 year old kid that really has apparently fair tantrum. Why I said fair tantrum? I still can manage him when he is ‘expressing’ his tantrum. It is really tiring to handle a toddler with tantrums. It is like an additional task force that I need to settle every time I get home. Especially after a busy day, a busy week at work, I would feel breathless to ‘entertain’ this toddler. It is well understood, being a fully working mom is a tough job on earth! Yes, I don’t mind people said I am exaggerating; yes in fact I am, in my own perspective.

I somehow discussed about children behavior with my friends at office, if not everyday, every week, there will be a ‘sharing session’ about our kids. I learn from the elders the good tips and lesson learnt. Then, I will flashback my day night before I close my eyes and sleep with end in mind, to have a better tomorrow if not the best. I am always glad, that I’ve finished my day as a mom again.

Talking about my boy tantrum, recently he is very objective and hardheaded. I always try to find the whys he is behaving like that. Sometimes it is very irritating that I feel like I want to punch him to make him stop continue to behave like an idiot!

But I managed to hold back my anger, I told to myself, he is only 4 y.o and many mothers are facing the same thing I am facing right now. Hold back and think! There must be reasons he is behaving like that.

So, this morning, while expressing milk, I had a fruitful conversation with my elders. And the content of the conversation triggered me to further analyze what was really going wrong that make my toddler behaving like that. I am not ashamed to admit my mistake if I have, as we are human, every one does mistake, we never perfect. I don’t want to put my ego onto my kids. That’s never going to work but it will lead to a bad environment at home.

Now, why Aqil is ‘different’ from the way he was before. Let’s start from home, because early education starts from home. ATTENTION! Yes, he tries to gain our attention which he got before Asif arrived. It is not I always neglected him but in many circumstances, I got no chance to put my attention for him, as I have to attend Asif. My hubby is a so-so daddy, so guess what, would he want to attend Aqil and I’m with Asif all the time? Men, is still men…tell me how many daddy would do the wife’s job at home?? And its WORLD CUP fever some more. And new channel some more on ASTRO.
So many series to be catched up on ASTRO yeah?Right papa??

However, I’ve already solution to this problem. It’s just a matter of supports and fitness to do so. Just let the toddler throw his emotion (be it crying, yelling, running over in the hour etc), leave it, DO NOT say anything, give a silent conversation, and DO NOT add the fire to the situation. Just leave it. When he is calmer, go to him, cuddle him softly, pat his back, stroke his head, kiss his forehead, speak softly, and say that you will always love him no matter what happens. Then softly, tell him your concern on his behavior, talk with your toddler like adult conversation. And it works tremendously actually, I tried, and they easily got the message. No need to punch! No need caning! See, it’s really needed my patient, my strong will and fitness to get through this! You definitely act worst when you are tired and sleepy. It’s happen to me.

PARENTING SKILLS are the MOST PROMISING SKILLS for parents! BRAVO parents!!

PORTUEGESE GRILL


Pagi dimulakan dgn aksi drama Keluarga Haniff…as usual….Asif bgn dulu, kemudian Aqil….kemudian drama dgn Aqil…yg lately agakla…keras kepala…dan kepala hangin…(perlu lakukn sesuatu sebelum keadaan bertambah kritikal….hmm)…dan saya…spt biasa…siapkn beg Aqil (kdg2 papa die buat gak)..siap susu Asif (pasni nk simpan siap2 4oz sebotol, so xyah nk transfer2 dah…)…dhla pagi td kene rendam kejap susu Asif psl mlm td terlupe nk turunkn susu dr freezer…haish~…siap kan beg pump….siap kn handbag...that’s routine…Cuma pg td terlps nk siapkn bekfas Aqil…sbb terlupe nk restock roti Gardenia…sian Aqil, mintak roti jem, xdpt hari ni…hrp2 kt Maahad, die mkn byk2….(dlm surat ckp sedia bekfas utk budak sepenuh masa…tp ntahla..yer ke tidak…hmm)
