Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Sunday, October 30th, 2005

Di sini saya ingin mengambil kesempatan mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri kepada semua yang mengenali diri ini. Maaf dipinta .. sekiranya ada salah dan silap.. halalkan makan dan minum kami sekeluarga. Insyallah kami sekeluarga akan beraya di KL sahaja. Mungkin tahun depan kami akan beraya di Kerala sekali lagi bersama keluarga di sana … persiapan dibuat ala kadar sahaja .. tak bermewah mewah nanti membazir pula. Selalunya kami akan beraya di rumah dulu and because emak is the eldest sister, her siblings will come to our house. Seronok la Naureen dapat duit raya dari nenek dan makcik dan pakciknya. Kemudian kami akan beraya ke rumah Maksu di setiawangsa and then to Aunty Bibah .. di Cheras. Mungkin kami akan ke Putrajaya .. menziarah Aunty Zam yang masih terlantar di Hospital Putrajaya…diharapkan kesihatannya bertambah pulih Insyallah. Selepas itu kami akan bergambar sakan la … studio mana ye nak pergi … kena tanya abah … maybe a week or two after Eid, kami akan adakan Aqiqah untuk Naureen. Rasa lambat sangat dah .. umur 4 bulan tapi tak laksanakan lagi aqiqah… tak elok asyik tangguh tangguh .. rezeki ada ni .. baik percepatkan .. kerling sikit pada arshad Okay lah .. nak sambung kerja .. siapkan surat menyurat kepada users .. kemudian time-off bayar bill di Taman Sri Rampai..

Lastly, kepada rakan-rakan sekalian, pandu kereta tu biar cermat .. jangan bawa laju-laju nanti padah menimpa … Selamat Bercuti dan jumpa lagi pada 10hb Oktober 05.

Wassalam

Arshad aka cricket

Congratulation! You have just been selected from among your team members to become the new CIO. A promotion is always exciting, but it comes with a challenge: how to get a good start as the new boss of your former colleagues. Don’t assume that your existing relationships with colleagues will continue as before. Some of them who also aspired to the position may be jealous. Former pals may no longer welcome you to their social gatherings. A resentful few may even try to sabotage you. Meanwhile, you may have to treat differently those who ermain your friends so that you don’t appear to be playing favourites. And you will have a new set of alliances to build among both former colleagues and the senior managers whose ranks you have joined.

::Passive-aggresive colleagues::
When you become the boss, your former peers will fall into one of four categories : leavers, testers, passive resisters and boosters. Leavers are those who, for a variety of reasons, won’t stick around. Let them go. Holding on to people who have already psychologically separated themselves from the organisation is, at best, a temporary victory. You will find it easier to rally the organisation behind you when those who are dissatisfied are gone. Testers are uncertain about your leadership. They will find ways to challenge your style of management and your expectations of your staff. Passive resisters will test your patience as they disagree with every idea. Even when they express agreement, they will often follow their own agenda anyway. Boosters are those who are happy to be working with you and they’ll tout your leadership to others. They are your allies because some connection you shared has created a positive relationship.

Redefine your relationships
Now that you’re in charge, you will need to balance the pull of the past with the requirements of the new job, which will call for you to play a bigger role in the operation of the company!

Anak Itik Tok Wi
Mandi Dalam Kolam
Sakit Apa Tok Wi
Sakit Sendi Tulang

Ubat Apa Tok Wi
Ubat Limau Lelah
Sakit Apa Tok Wi
Sakit Sendi Tulang

Pok Amai-Amai

Pok amai-amai
Belalang kupu-kupu
Tepuk biar pandai
Emak upah susu
Susu lemak manis
Santan kelapa muda
Adik jangan menangis
Emak ada kerja

There is a lot of ‘Lagu kanak-kanak’ in this site .. something that i’ve forgotten. My mom would bring us books on these songs and we would sing it together (I, Hanim and Azlan). Gosh that was like when we were toddlers. Now I’m a mother and I remembered searching for books and the internet for these songs. Alhamdullillah I found this site…. and it helped me alot as there is not many site that offers malay children songs. Would be mom and dad … or mom and dad who are trying to find suitable rhymes for their children do visit this site Lagu Kanak-Kanak & Dodoi Si Manja

Blue Monday

Another boring Monday… Oh how I loathe coming back to work on Monday. I just wish it would be Sunday all the time, then, I can spent my time with my loved ones. Same ol’ stuff… same ol’ problems … same ol’ people. Well those who irritates me la … yang lain semua OK OK. Last Friday was our staff meeting, and that was the first time I had to sit infront of the whole division and presented our department’s work status. Tried to be calm but God knows what I am experiencing inside… its like a royal rumble and hurricane katrina combined. The meeting was OK apart from the things that our Director said. Sometimes I think he should’ve consulted his subordinates before making statements that are deemed controversial! I emailed him something that I disagree and I am still waiting for his reply. Sometimes I wish we have a strong management team led by a strong leader. Dr Nan why don’t you come back to us. Oh by the way, Office Politics SUCKS big time!

Colic

What is colic? or the malays call it "kembung perut"
Colic has been attributed to many causes of underfeeding, overfeeding, allergy, constipation,
diarrhoea, too much wind in the bowels and many more.

Naureen was categorised by two doctors as a very very very colicky baby …. adusszzzz
but for nearly 4 months of her existance in this chaotic world, she had two extreem episode
of colic. The last episode was 2 days back. She was crying in pain for nearly 30 minutes… and
lastly went to a doctor in Klinik Mesra, setiawangsa where he administered a colic medicine orally and through the rectum. Poor pumpkin baby was crying like crazy… her face was red … I just hope this would be the last episode of colic in her lifetime as an infant.

Hugged her throughout the night and made sure Naureen had ample sleeping time. Grow up pumpkin and then you can tell mummy and daddy your discomforts … we love you!
