Collection of Balqis's Study Books

Here is more collection of Balqis's study books so far. I forgot to include the preSchool mathematics activity books that i bought for her last week. She's very excited to learn and write on the books. Every night i will spend some times to teach her and help her do the activity books. Even the book is for 4-6 years old kindergarten kids but Balqis can do it and able to catch up what are being teaches in the books.

"What about me, mommy?"

“What About Me, Mommy?” Having a new sibling is a big change for your child. Read more on how you can help him adapt to the new environment. By Dr Goh Chee Leong, Psychologist.

Expanding your family is great news to you and your spouse, but to your child, a new baby may bring about a lot of uncertainties. Some children may feel abandoned now that they are no longer the centre of attention, while others may relish the role of an older sibling. In short, there is no way to tell how your child might react. However, as parents, you want things to run smoothly between your older child and his younger sibling. Therefore, it is essential for you to know what you can do to maintain the harmony between the siblings. Planning Ahead The sooner your older child knows about the arrival of his new sibling, the better. This can help him to adapt to the adjustments that may come. Ensure that before the baby arrives, you: • Inform him about his new sibling. The earlier you let him know, the more time you have to prepare him for the arrival of the new sibling. This will also be an excellent opportunity for you to talk to him and clarify his doubts and excite him about his new role. • Involve him in preparations to welcome the new baby. You may decorate the newborn’s room together and pick potential baby names together. Make him feel like part of the process. • Share your experience with him. Bring him along to your monthly check-ups. This gives him the opportunity to learn about and witness the progression of his new sibling. You would be surprised how the sound of the heartbeat can excite your child and change his feelings. • Explain to him what will happen when the new baby arrives. Let him know beforehand that you may be tired most of the time and the baby will most probably be the centre of attention because he requires extra care. Also, let him know that the baby will not do much at first except eat, sleep and cry. Giving him a realistic idea will reduce the shock when it happens. The Arrival! While you may have fully prepared your older child before the birth of your new baby, his behavior may change when the baby arrives. This is common, as children do not know how to control their feelings, especially when he sees family members paying more attention to the new baby. Don’t fret, as your child just needs some time to adjust. • Let him be Mummy’s Helper. Get him involved in the care of your new arrival. For instance, ask him to hand you the diapers while you are changing the baby or keep an eye on the baby whilst you use the bathroom. His involvement will make him think that he still matters to you. • Ask for his opinion. Ease him into the older brother or sister role by having your child help you make decisions about the baby. For example, when choosing an outfit for the new baby, let him decide on the colour of the clothing. • Listen to his feelings. Your older child will get frustrated at times, especially when you are unable to spend time with him (eg; you are nursing your baby but he wants to play cars with you). When a situation like that occurs, acknowledge his feelings. Let him know that you are aware of his disappointment and you will make it up to him later. • Spend one-on-one time. When your baby is sleeping, spend time with your older child. In fact, let your partner take care of the baby if you need to. Spending one-on-one time will make him feel special and loved. • Praise him. Shower your older child with praises each time you see him showing interest in helping you care for his younger sibling. Believe it or not, praises that comes with hugs and kisses can go a long way. Don’t Push the Baby on Him If your child does not want to get involved with the baby, do not be alarmed. It is common for him to be feeling this way. The “ignoring the baby” phase is usually temporary. Therefore, it is best not to force your child to be involved. He will come around in time.

Pengenalan SAP - Golongan SAP

Aku tergerak hati utk buat posting ni disebabkan ramai gak member2 yg tya pasal SAP. Apa bende SAP ni? Apa keje2 org SAP ni? Klu aku nak buat SAP jugak macam mana? macam2 persoalan yg aku penah hadapi. Ada juga yg mempersoalkan bayaran yg diterima oleh seorang SAP Consultant yg dikatakan agak tinggi berbanding market keje dlm sesetengah bidang2 lain. Kebanyakan yg bertanya adalah mereka yg berlatar belakangkan IT dan Komputer, ada jugak dari Customer Service.

SAP ni secara umumnya ialah satu software yg digunakan syarikat2 korporat untuk menjalankan aktiviti harian perniagaan mereka. Satu benda yg aku nak tekankan kat sini, when we talk about SAP, we talk about business, not IT,Computer,Network,platform,server or what so ever. Klu org yg dari bidang IT atau Computer, if you want to do SAP, you have to put your computer 'minded' away, close all your computer books. Dah tak pakai and tak relevan dah. Dalam SAP, lagi byk bisnes proses yg kita tahu, lagi byk bisnes proses yg kita boleh mapkan dlm SAP, lg bernilai la kita kat pasaran. Nothing to do with program and so on. Just business processes. Kalau still tebal dgn pemikiran komputer,IT,customer service dan sbgnya, to me..you are not ready to do SAP and better you stay at where you are now. Sb klu paksa masuk SAP pun tak ke mana jadinya nnt. SAP tak semudah yg disangka. Aku penah ada junior drpd customer service yg nak convert ke line SAP. 2 tahun buat SAP,ada org guide one by one, bagi documentation lengkap, bagi buat on job support dan sbgnya, tp skill dia still flat... and when the company closed, it's very hard for her to get a new job sampai aku nasihatkan dia, klu ada job opp utk customer service ke service desk ke pe, accept it coz you are very good in that field.

So utk masuk SAP, buat la persediaan minda ke arah business orientation.  Ok berbalik kpd SAP, ia sbnrnya 1 jenis product yg dah sedia ada. Kita(Company) cuma beli/jadi partner then implement product tu based on our business needs. Bukan bermakna kita kena develop system,letak coding bagai.. function sme dah ada, cuma perlukan kemahiran kita utk mapkan every function, data and so on supaya bleh cater each of kita pya business process. Lagi persoalan disini, jadi macam mana product SAP tu boleh wujud?Siapa yg buat? Ada 3 golongan dalam SAP, pertama - SAP provider, kedua-SAP Consultant, ketiga-SAP user. Provider is secara asasnya bkn lah dari Malaysia.Product ni asalnya dari German. Derang lah pioneer tp dah ada branch kat seluruh dunia termasuklah Malaysia. Kat sini kita ada satu organization yg bertindak sebagai provider which is SAP Malaysia. Keje derang ni utk lakukan semakan berkala ke atas function2 SAP standard,support utk sebarang permasalahan yg disebabkan oleh bugs dlm SAP standard,sediakan SAP notes dan mungkin juga test new version. Bagi yg terlibat dgn aktiviti support, dealing with clients and trouble shoot SAP standard functions ni, mereka juga adalah dipanggil sbg SAP Consultant cuma mereka berada dlm golongan provider. Cuma yg terlibat secara tak langsung spt tester, QA dan sbgnya, mereka tidaklah dipanggil SAP Consultant sebaliknya hanyalah executive atau QA biasa shj.SAP ni ada byk version, dari awal hinggalah latest SAP ECC6. Klu tak silap dah nak launch new version ataupun mungkin dah launch tp luar pengetahuan aku; which is SAP ECC7.

Teringat ada seorang kawan pernah beritahu saya bhw kawan dia bekerja sbg SAP Tester. Berdasarkan pengalaman aku selama 5thn dlm SAP Consulting, tidak pernah ada 1 jawatan yg dinamakan SAP Tester. Dalam dunia SAP Consultation, cuma ada 2 jenis; SAP Technical Consultant atau SAP Functional Consultant. Memang dlm project SAP,ada peringkat User Acceptance Test(UAT) tp test di sini bukanlah bermaksud test system, tapi kita lebih kepada test business processes. Test bg org IT atau Computer kemungkinan berbeza maksud drp SAP. 'Test' mereka ialah utk memastikan system xde defect,error dan sbgnya. Tapi 'test' dlm project SAP bermaksud, test business process tu samada boleh complete the whole process atau tidak, integration part ok ke tidak, ada impact dlm module lain ke tidak, data and config betul ke tidak.Jauh bezanya.. Kemungkinan SAP Tester di sini adalah merujuk kpd mereka yg terlibat dgn SAP provider. Mereka mungkin memerlukan seseorg utk test sesuatu SAP version especially new version sblm released. Ini sbnrnya sama saja dgn tugas seorang QA.Cuma mungkin diberi nama khas 'SAP Tester' disebabkan ia memerlukan pengetahuan khusus iaitu SAP.

SAP Consultant plak, org yg consult,implement and support SAP system utk companies yg melanggan dan menggunakan SAP. Golongan ni lah yg plg byk demand dlm market. Kat universiti,SAP mmg tak diajar dan bukan lah salah satu course ataupun subject kecuali Universiti Teknologi Petronas.Tu pun cuma cover ABAP programming. Dalam SAP ada 2 jenis area secara umumnya iaitu Functional dan Technical. Functional ialah Consultant yg terlibat dgn modul2 menjurus ke arah core bisnes dan berada di barisan depan(foreground) yg akan berurusan secara langsung dgn client seperti MM,PP,SD,QM,PM,PS dan FICO. Technical pula ialah utk Consultant yg terlibat dgn background system dan mainly berurusan dgn functional consultant seperti Basis, ABAP dan EDI. Tak dinafikan SAP pun ada programming tp bukan programming biasa yg boleh didapati secara open source,kursus2 oleh badan2 bebas dan sebagainya. ABAP ialah salah satu modul teknikal dalam SAP dan cara aplikasinya dari segi teknikal agak sama dgn apa yg dilakukan programmer lain iaitu menulis aturcara komputer. Tetapi secara pemahaman dan implementasinya adalah berbeza kerana ia memerlukan pengaturcaranya memahami function2 SAP dan juga bisnes proses. Kalau tak, memang susah utk communicate dgn functional consultant dan memberikan hasil spt yg dispesifikasikan. Disebabkan kesukaran mendapatkan org yg betul2 boleh memahami, mengimplement dan trouble shoot SAP ni lah,maka harga utk seorg SAP Consultant especially functional adalah agak tinggi.Kenapa functional lebih tinggi berbanding teknikal? Sebab functional memerlukan kemahiran dlm pelbagai business process yg selalunya berbeza2 dlm organisasi berbeza. Cabaran adalah lebih tinggi utk functional kerana perlu berdepan dgn pelbagai business process yg diutarakan oleh client disamping perlu berdepan dgn client dari pelbagai level; dari CEO, management atasan sehinggalah end user.Manakala utk teknikal, benda adalah sama dan mereka cuma perlu berurusan dgn functional consultant.

Ketiga ialah SAP user. Golongan ini sebenarnya bknlah org yg terlibat secara langsung dgn SAP. Mereka mempunyai nama jawatan sendiri dlm organisasi tetapi kerja harian memerlukan mereka menggunakan SAP system. Sbg cth, purchasing executive.Tugasnya ialah utk membuat order,memantau delivery dan menganalisa report. Akan tetapi semuanya dilakukan melalui SAP system.Secara tidak langsung mereka digelar sebagai SAP user.

Secara kesimpulannya, jika anda berhasrat untuk terlibat dgn SAP, bagi saya anda sebenarnya merujuk kpd SAP Consultant. Yang lain2nya bukanlah secara khusus utk SAP dan kurang pengalaman dari segi skills berbanding yg terlibat dlm Consultation. Ada juga yg bertanya, adakah jika saya mengikuti kursus utk mendapatkan sijil professional SAP maka saya akan boleh menceburi bidang SAP sbg SAP Consultant? Jawapannya TIDAK! Certification itu adalah cuma sbg value added. Yang plg diutamakan oleh interviewer utk menilai seseorg Consultant ialah pengalaman bekerja dlm bidang ini,business process yg diketahui dan juga skill sets yg ada termasuklah project implementation cycle.Jika anda hanya memiliki cert tp zero experience, lupakan saja kerana application sebegini biasanya akan ditolak mentah2 oleh interviewer terutama dlm multinasional and international company. Kalau ingin mencuba nasib juga, saya cadangkan pergilah kepada end user company which is the title may not be a Consultant tp executive or lain2 jawatan yg disediakan dlm organisasi tersebut. Dgn kata lainnya, bukan terlibat dgn SAP secara langsung.

Itulah serba sedikit berkaitan dgn latar belakang org yg bekerja dan terlibat dgn SAP dari segi pengertian SAP itu sendiri.Akan kita bincangkan konsep asas dan pengenalan kepada sistem aplikasi SAP dalam post saya yang berikutnya. Nantikan......

Remove certain gambar

Salam sme...halluuuu...

Klu anda perasan, sy telah remove beberapa gambar yg terlalu obvious dlm beberapa post2 sblmnya. Bkn apa, utk keselamatan selepas terdapat beberapa insiden yg dialami sdiri oleh keluarga terdekat. Di facebook, sy bleh ketatkan kawalan security melalui function2 yg disediakan tp di blog, agak susah sket sb xde function2 yg mcm tu. So blog ni akan jadi bende yg terlalu umum.

Sebagai langkah keselamatan awal, sy remove beberapa gambar yg dirasakan perlu diremove.Tapi tak mengapa, words pun sudah memadai utk menyampaikan message dan cerita.

Sekian.......

2yrs and a half old girl hit-and-run in China dies..

I made some amendments on the fact of this story which posted earlier. Actually the kid didn't die on 13th of Oct as reported in a Beijing newspaper. The kid died on 20th of Oct.

I don't even know this little girl and i have nothing to do with her but the way she died or the cause of her death was very tragic and really gave an impact in ones' heart..

She's a very sweet little girl..


Yue-Yue with her mother,known as Madam Qu



Sweet little girl

Can't imagine how this little girl was suffering and fighting for her life in 3 days critical coma. Looking at her condition, i think to die is better for her. God knows everything.She's still a little girl, no sins at all.

Pity mother; have to face cruel criticism by people who blame her for bringing shame to China and its people through her "carelessness". China's culture and Chinese behavior are pretty weird. The mother became the main cause and blamed meanwhile to the eye of the world based on the scene captured in CCTV, there are a lot more cruelty, cold-heartedness and ignorance shown by the pedestrian and even the drivers themselves! Careless in seconds can happen to anyone,it's without we realize it and its not that what we wanted to happen.BUT seeing a wandering kid on street, pretend like no one there then hit-and-run, seeing a critical injured kid lying down on a street but ignoring and just passing by the street like nothing there..i think this is MORE to be BLAMED and this attitude and immorality are actually giving shame to China and its people, not the mother.

I wonder how the kid's parents would go through this..
To the kid, i'm sure there's something good waiting for you "there" :-) As i said, she has no sins at all, just a little kid :-)

New updates:
As informed by the driver, according to China law, if you hit someone and the person injured or handicapped then you will have to pay for the person's treatment cost for life.If the person die, you just need to pay about RMB10000-RMB20000 fine. That was the reason why the driver drove over the kid's body even he realized that the kid was lying down under the back tyre.He wanted the kid to die so that if he arrested, he will only need to pay the fine.Same for the passersby.If they help, they will have to pay for the treatment cost and will be blamed for the accident. How stupid China government is... No wonder their people are immoral and heartless.. materialism replacing morals.

Shocking video - human misbehavior; serious ignorance in China

Last nite, 17th of Oct 2011, i was having my dinner with family at home while watching news on TV3. It started with a shocking video about a chinese kid hit twice by a van and lorry in Guangzhou, China but ignored by pedestrian! She left there for about 10 mins without any help. I was so shock but no words came out from my lips.I just didn't know what to say. I was speechless and my heart was crying.I looked at my 2 years old daughter, i kiss and hug her. That kid is just about my daughter's age. I can't imagine how the kid's mother would go through the situation..

I have no strength to upload the video here. Anyway, i put the link in case you want to watch it. Here it is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CrCoRu4EWo&feature=related

I don't know it is about human misbehaviour, carelessness, cold-heartedness, morality or whatever you could say but what i know, this is very very very very unacceptable not only for people who watch it but for any mankind history. I can't believe something like this is still happening in such a modern civilization. I remember my trip to Hangzhou last year, what i can say is i'm not surprise if things like that happen in such region. You go there first and you'll know why i'm saying this. Their morality and attitude is very very poor. I'm sorry if my words could hurt my China friends or readers but i'm talking the fact based on self experience and what your people did(in the video) was very heartless and totally out of morality.

Some watchers may put the blame on the kid's parents but to me; NO. Handling a kid is not like handling a bike or car or even a machine. They're growing up and like to try everything, they have mind to think and they're always curious to know this and that.They're physically active and would walk to anywhere they think they should. We are now parents and simply blame other parents not to take care of their kids bla bla bla.. but do us ourselves always obeyed whatever our parents said during our childhood days?? I got 2 rattan bars on my leg but i still wander around with friends on bike.Do you think people would blame me if anything happen to me at that time? NO because i was just a little kid. Do you want to blame my parents not to take a good care of me?? DON'T because they did what they suppose to. So what i'm trying to say here is; it is a normal child behavior to wander around, exploring this and that because that's the way they learn things. No parents on earth would just ignore or neglect their kids.They're always trying to give the best to their kids but we have to understand the confrontation between kids behaviours against parents guidance.

To me, if there is still piece of morality and human kindness in people civilization, things like this wouldn't happen. Even if the parents of the kid were a bit careless in seconds to make sure their kid was still with them at that time, i think she wouldn't be hit if the 1st van's driver still have those values. Or if it was fated that she hit by the van on that day, she wouldn't be hit by the second van or left suffering alone there until 10mins if passers-by still have their morality and human values.

I'm writting this not to harm anyone. This is a good lesson for us to be more alert and sensitive to our surroundings, dare to give help to those who needs help, careful and responsible to our kids everywhere we go and in any situation we are. I could only pray for the best for that kid. If to live is better for her, Ya Allah please saves her, but if to die is better for her, then please take her. She's still a clean kid without any sins at all..

Balqis Potty Train

Yesterday was the first day i tried to potty train Balqis. I don't put on her diapers and tell her "If you want to pee you let me know ok??" but she pee first then only she shout out! It was about 4 to 5 times she pee everywhere in the house. Whoosss~ what a very good girl Balqis :-)

I think it's a protest and she's trying to force me to put on her diaper. "Ok, we'll keep on practicing this for the whole week" i told her.

Then a friend of mine said, maybe she's not ready. But how do i know she's ready or not?? She asked me to watch her pee occurrence. If she dry for few hours means she can hold it. Another sign is when she doesn't like to wear her wet diaper. There are some more signs, maybe i can google later.

If she's not ready then don't force. I think she's right. Cannot force much. When i saw her pull her both knees close to one another, i straight away took her to the bathroom. I asked her to pee but nothing came out. When i put on her pants back, suddenly 'rain' came down...huhuhuhu..

I asked my maid to do the same thing for today and see if it is better than yesterday then i'll just continue. If not, i think i have to stop first and make sure she's really ready for this. Or maybe i can try to find another way.

Bajet Kerajaan Malaysia 2012

7 Disember 2011 yg lepas, PM Malaysia dah mengumumkan bajet kerajaan untuk tahun 2012. Bagi aku yg bekerja di sektor swasta, bende2 bajet ke pe yg berkaitain dgn govt ni xde la nak ambil pusing sgt. Tu depa punya hal la. Hal kita dgn majikan kita je. Namun setelah melihat corak strategi bajet tu, terdetik plak di hati kecil aku utk mengetahui lbh lanjut dan mengulas sedikit sebanyak berdasarkan pandangan aku yg tak berapa penting ni...cewahhh..hehehe

Ramai yg mengeluh di FB, bajet 2012 lebih kepada penjawat awam atau lbh spesifik, guru. Bila aku tengok balik, hmm..patut la depa tak puas hati. Aku baca pun aku tau mmg lebih kepada sesetgh golongan jer. Aku tak tau apa atau kat mana logikalnya yg mendorong golongan ini dilebihkan dari yg lain. Yg swasta tak yah cakap arr, mmg depa reti kaut duit from kitorg jerk.Pastu bawak masuk sbg agihan dalam bajet derang. Bukan bagi, ambik! Cukai penjawat awam RM50-RM100 jerk.Klu lbh pun sket jerk. Tapi kitorg, perhhh bedal pakai percentage! Makin byk kitorg carik duit makin byk derang kutip. Tapi tak pe lah, take into consideration; firm employees were earning 50%-70% more than govt employees. Some more we got a lot of other benefits, bonus, increment, claims as well as employer's contribution.

Kenaikan gaji siling guru dinaikkan sebanyak 37.7% utk siswazah and 39% utk bukan siswazah.Means before this, just about RM6325 utk siswazah, RM3860 utk bukan siswazah. Now is RM8710 utk siswazah, RM5370 utk bukan siswazah.  Dari segi kenaikan gred plak, dulu kena tunggu 20thn baru leh merasa gaji byk tu. Skang kenaikan gred is every 8 years.Means lepas 8thn, leh naik ke DG 44, then after 16 yrs leh naik ke DG 48. Yang disebutkan ni mmg aku rasa patut la. Sikit sgt klu gaji siling RM6325. Apa lagi klu bukan siswazah, RM3860. Harga barang makin mahal. Ada tanggungan lagi. Memang kesian la klu byk tu je.Tu pun dekat 20 tahun baru dpt byk tu. So gaji siling naik sket ni ok la. Pastu kenaikan gred every 8 yrs wpun bg aku, better la than before wpun still lama gak. Aku keje 5 tahun dah mcm gaji siling siswazah yg baru dinaikkan tu, derang plak terpaksa bertungkus-lumus 16-20 thn baru dpt byk tu. Aku xleh bayang.

Yearly increment utk penjawat awam plak dinaikkan antara 10%-13% atau RM80-RM320 ikut gred. Yang ni pun aku rasa mmg patut la. Wpun bg aku still tak berbaloi tp at least byk la sket drp sblm ni. Betul tak penjawat awam? Aku tak tau bape yearly increment derang sblm ni. Tapi of course la lagi sket banding yg baru ni kot. Bagi sektor swasta mcm aku ni klu stakat 2 3 ratus mmg tak berbaloi la, tolak2 tax sme, lebih kurang je jadinya dgn before naik. Tu sb besenya swasta pya increment dlm jumlah percentage lbh tinggi berbanding govt wpun bergantung pada performance. Tax yg kerajaan kenakan utk sektor swasta lbh tinggi berbanding govt yg just around RM50-RM100 je every month.

Yang peruntukkan utk guru sambung blajar tu pun aku rasa mmg patut pun. Budak2 nowadays makin bijak, jadi cikgu pun klu still dgn gaya lama, aku rasa...susah sket la. Parents pun makin choosy skang ni.Of course la, if i would want to send my kids to school, i would send them to school with high reputation which have so many of high quality teachers.

Regarding bonus half months salary that will be paid out by end of december utk penjawat awam tu, aku tak de bende nak pertikaikan.Takde kaitan dgn aku pun.Malah aku menyokong :) Parents aku keje govt, setahu aku dulu2 mana ada bonus half month salary. Bape percent je bonus derang. Aku dibesarkan dlm family yg keje govt dan aku dah rasa mcm mana hidup dlm keluarga yg bergantung pada gaji kerajaan. Mmg kena bajet betul2 sb takut tak cukup. Adik beradik 5 org. Kesian ayah dan mak aku dl. Aku anak sulung. Bila ayah aku bagi 50sen belanja sekolah ms sekolah rendah dl, aku x bising wpun jeles jugak tgk kawan aku bawak seringgit. Aku ada 4 lg adik yg parents aku kena sara. Jadi apa yg aku dpt, aku terima je tanpa byk songeh. Byk jugak aku berangan nak beli itu ini,tp 99% tak kan dapat la. Ye lah, dapat bonus pun bape ratus je, byk lagi bende nak buat dgn duit tu. So skang bila kerajaan umumkan nak bg half months bonus, aku sokong. Lagi pun bkn slalu nak dpt tu.

Kalau keje swasta, depends pada company. Ada setgh company pakai percentage, ada setengah pakai contractual bonus. Tapi klu percentage pun, gaji pokok derang bg tinggi, so klu 15% pun dah dpt byk.Klu company aku plak, performance bonus mmg every 3months. Klu achieve target 80% chargeability, dpt la 10% utk 3bln keje tu. Then klu capai lg utk next 3months, dapat lg 10%.Then at the end of the year, ada 1 month contractual bonus, plus performace bonus. Means bulan 12 every year konfem dapat 2bln gaji + performance bonus. Leh la nak wat blanje mak ayah aku, adik2 sme pegi melancong skali skala. Lgpun, duit aku bukannya pakai sgt, yg len2 sme husband aku punya tanggungan la hahahaha! leh dak?hehehe.. ye le, gaji dia 2 kali ganda aku, bonus plak 4 bln klu PPA 3, 6 bulan klu PPA 2. 10 bulan klu PPA 1. Jauh kan beza, so dia tanggung sme. hehehe...

Bantuan tambahan utk pesara kerajaan tu pun aku bersetuju :) Mak aku dah bersara, so dapat la duit belanja lebih sket every month.Bukan aku tak bagi 'elaun' sbg anak, aku bagi every month cuma klu ada lebih mesti dia lagi suka. Dia suka aku pun suka la :)

Yang pasal nak naikkan elaun ahli parlimen tu aku tak berapa setuju sket. Aku malas nak komen panjang yg ni, tp aku tak setuju(macam la derang kisah dgn suara aku ni kan??hmm..) Lagi satu, ritma kelebihan yang nyata kepada golongan guru ni dikhuatiri ada udang disebalik batu. Kelebihan lain pada penjawat awam pun sama, dikhuatiri hanya utk memancing undi. Takde penekanan and perhatian khusus utk sektor swasta sb mmg sudah sedia maklum, kerajaan tidak mempunyai apa2 hak ke atas pekerja di sektor ini. Pekerja adalah hak mutlak majikan asalkan beberapa sisip undang2 seperti tax dan caruman dipatuhi. In other words, tiada istilah pancing undi utk kami :) hehehehe... Cuma tu yg depa ambik kesempatan cabut tax byk2 from kami. Cess! Bonus 10 bulan, patut dpt RM300K tp disebabkan cukai haprak tu, yg masuk bersih cuma dlm 150K!! Cuba bygkan kes yg mcm ni.Berapa byk kerajaan kaut untung atas seorang drpd kami. Kalau dia agihkan pada yg sepatutnya, xpe lah. Bimbangnya takut ntah ke poket sape plak duit tu melayang kang..

Well..dengan kelebihan2 yg dah diberi ni, diharap penjawat awam akan lebih efisyen le wat keje. Slalu gak aku dgr rungutan, susah nak berurusan dgn jabatan kerajaan ni. Mcm2 hal, dah la slow, tak efisyen, bagi dokumen, dokumen ilang.. klu call, dekat 10 kali dail tu baru angkat, suara plak mcm tak cukup makan.. mcm2.Aku tak kata org je, mmg aku pun dah banyak kali terkena service yg mcm ni klu berurusan dgn govt agencies..

Jangan marah ye penjawat awam, sesetengah teguran tu bertujuan membina. Kita saling tegur menegur, ada faedahnya. Selamat maju jaya!

Steve Jobs Dies



Steve Jobs, the mastermind behind Apple's iPhone, iPad, iPod, iMac and iTunes, has died, Apple said. Jobs was 56.

"We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today," read a statement by Apple's board of directors. "Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts."

The homepage of Apple's website this evening switched to a full-page image of Jobs with the text, "Steve Jobs 1955-2011."

Clicking on the image revealed the additional text: "Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple."

Jobs co-founded Apple Computer in 1976 and, with his childhood friend Steve Wozniak, marketed what was considered the world's first personal computer, the Apple II.

Shortly after learning of Jobs' death, Wozniak told ABC News, "I'm shocked and disturbed."
Industry watchers called him a master innovator -- perhaps on a par with Thomas Edison -- changing the worlds of computing, recorded music and communications.

In 2004, he beat back an unusual form of pancreatic cancer, and in 2009 he was forced to get a liver transplant. After several years of failing health, Jobs announced on Aug. 24, 2011 that he was stepping down as Apple's chief executive.

"I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know," Jobs wrote in his letter of resignation. "Unfortunately, that day has come."

One of the world's most famous CEOs, Jobs remained stubbornly private about his personal life, refusing interviews and shielding his wife and their children from public view.

"He's never been a media person," said industry analyst Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies, after Jobs resigned. "He's granted interviews in the context of product launches, when it benefits Apple, but you never see him talk about himself."

The highlights of Jobs's career trajectory are well-known: a prodigy who dropped out of Reed College in Oregon and, at 21, started Apple with Wozniak in his parents' garage. He was a multimillionaire by 25, appeared on the cover of Time magazine at 26, and was ousted at Apple at age 30, in 1984.

In the years that followed, he went into other businesses, founding NeXT computers and, in 1986, buying the computer graphics arm of Lucasfilm, Ltd., which became Pixar Animation Studios.

He was described as an exacting and sometimes fearsome leader, ordering up and rejecting multiple versions of new products until the final version was just right. He said the design and aesthetics of a device were as important as the hardware and software inside.

In 1996, Apple, which had struggled without Jobs, brought him back by buying NeXT. He became CEO in 1997 and put the company on a remarkable upward path.

By 2001 the commercial music industry was on its knees because digital recordings, copied and shared online for free, made it unnecessary for millions of people to buy compact discs.

Jobs took advantage with the iPod -- essentially a pocket-sized computer hard drive with elegantly simple controls and a set of white earbuds so that one could listen to the hours of music one saved on it. He set up the iTunes online music store, and persuaded major recording labels to sell songs for 99 cents each. No longer did people have to go out and buy a CD if they liked one song from it. They bought a digital file and stored it in their iPod.

In 2007, he transformed the cell phone. Apple's iPhone, with its iconic touch screen, was a handheld computer, music player, messaging device, digital wallet and -- almost incidentally -- cell phone. Major competitors, such as BlackBerry, Nokia and Motorola, struggled after it appeared.

By 2010, Apple's new iPad began to cannibalize its original business, the personal computer. The iPad was a sleek tablet computer with a touch screen and almost no physical buttons. It could be used for almost anything software designers could conceive, from watching movies to taking pictures to leafing through a virtual book.

Personal life

Jobs kept a close cadre of friends, Bajarin said, including John Lasseter of Pixar and Larry Ellison of Oracle, but beyond that, shared very little of his personal life with anyone.

But that personal life -- he was given up at birth for adoption, had an illegitimate child, was romantically linked with movie stars -- was full of intrigue for his fan base and Apple consumers.

Jobs and his wife, Laurene Powell, were married in a small ceremony in Yosemite National Park in 1991, lived in Woodside, Calif., and had three children: Reed Paul, Erin Sienna and Eve.

He admitted that when he was 23, he had a child out of wedlock with his high school girlfriend, Chris Ann Brennan. Their daughter, Lisa Brennan Jobs, was born in 1978.

He had a biological sister, Mona Simpson, the author of such well-known books as "Anywhere But Here." But he did not meet Simpson until they were adults and he was seeking out his birth parents. Simpson later wrote a book based on their relationship. She called it "A Regular Guy."

Fortune magazine reported that Jobs denied paternity of Lisa for years, at one point swearing in a court document that he was infertile and could not have children. According to the report, Chris Ann Brennan collected welfare for a time to support the child until Jobs later acknowledged Lisa as his daughter.
There were other personal details that emerged over the years, as well.

At Reed, Jobs became romantically involved with the singer Joan Baez, according to Elizabeth Holmes, a friend and classmate. In "The Second Coming of Steve Jobs," Holmes tells biographer Alan Deutschman that Jobs broke up with his serious girlfriend to "begin an affair with the charismatic singer-activist." Holmes confirmed the details to ABC News.

Jobs' health and Apple's health

Enigmatic and charismatic, Jobs said little about himself. But then his body began to fail him.
In 2004, he was forced to say publicly he had a rare form of pancreatic cancer. In 2009, it was revealed that he had quietly gone to a Memphis hospital for a liver transplant.

He took three medical leaves from Apple. He did not share details.

In 2009, sources said, members of Apple's board of directors had to persuade him to disclose more about his health as "a fiduciary issue," interwoven with the health of the company.

He was listed in March as 109th on the Forbes list of the world's billionaires, with a net worth of about $8.3 billion. After selling Pixar animation studios to The Walt Disney Company in 2006, he became a Disney board member and the company's largest shareholder. Disney is the parent company of ABC News.

Analysts said Apple performed well during Jobs' absence, partly because he was available for big decisions and partly because his chief lieutenant, Tim Cook, was the hands-on manager even when Jobs was there.



The company has a history of bouncing back. In January 2009, after he announced his second medical leave, Apple stock dropped to $78.20 per share. But it quickly recovered and became one of the most successful stocks on Wall Street. On one day in the summer of 2011, with the stock hitting the $400 level, Apple briefly passed ExxonMobil as the world's most valuable company.

Company ni company Denmark and derang xde local client, semua Europe, US and Canada. So semua counter partner kitorg from denmark and based sana la. Sebabkan slalu byk berurusan dgn denmark, setiap sorg akan ada nombor denmark. Murah la sket klu call. Jadi mcm denmark call ke nombor denmark la wpun satu kat malaysia.

Derang sme kebanyakkannya dah veteran and very high experience. Sorang tu pegang 2 3 SAP modules. Ada setengah tu sampai 5 modules. Org2 kat sini ckp mmg derang sme very expert. Lagi aku cuak. Rasa kerdil plak. Ye lah, aku ni baru nak masuk 5 thn experience. Tu pun stakat arif MM.Ada la sket SD tp beginner level je yg tu.

Hmm...tp x kisah la, janji masyukkk every month. Haa lg 1 yg aku suke psl company ni, bonus is every 3 months!! based on chargeability. Utk aku budak baru ni, first 3 months ni aku kena achieve 40% chargeability je utk dpt 10% fix bonus bulan Dec nnt. Then utk next 3 mths, 60%. Lepas tu haa..mcm yg len2 jugak la, 80%.  Tapi aku x la terkejar2 sgt. Aku xnak le keje bagai nak rak sgt sampai stress ke pe.. rilek2 je..hehehe.. bulan2 masuk tu pun dah lbh dari cukup. Slow and steady la.

Dah betul2 start keje nnt, aku rasa tah sempat tah tak aku nak update blog tiap2 hari. Jangan kata tiap2 hari, tiap2 minggu pun blm tentu..

Balqis @ 2 years 9 months - Improve reading

Ni video terbaru Balqis pada usianya 2 tahun 9 bulan. Balqis dah improve pembacaan dan mampu membaca ayat2 yg lebih advance. Alhamdulillah..

Aidilfitri 2011

Seperti tahun2 sebelumnya, aku beraya di dua2 belah family; Husband aku Johor dan aku Kelantan. Cuma bezanya belah mana dulu. Kitorang ikut giliran. Tahun ni giliran Johor dl. Kitorg balik awal sket sb nak merasa puasa ngan family Johor. Ngan family Kelantan dah balik cuti mgu sebelum tu. Mmg slalu camni. Klu raya belah Kelantan dl pun, mcm tu la jugak. So ari sabtu 27.08. tu kitorg bertolak dari KL. Singgah Subang jap amik adik ipar kat Taylor College. Dia tgh wat persediaan utk gi US tajaan Bank Negara.

Sehari sebelum raya tu sempat lg aku ngan adik ipar yg doktor tu buat kuih raya. Kitorg buat tart nenas. Inti dia tu mak buat. Aku tukang picit doh,adik ipar aku tukang letak inti and gulung. 3 adunan tuuuu...perrhhh leh tahan la sakit blakang. Doh ada lg suku, aku ckp kat adik ipar aku, "adehhh..kak ina dah nak habis bateri dah ni". Dia gelak, sib bek ada dia. Bagi semangat utk aku teruskan picit doh sampai habis!

Ari raya pertama, pagi2 lepas sarapan lontong and lodeh,kitorg gi smayg kat masjid UTM(aku lupa plak nama masjid tu).Husband aku ckp,mmg tiap2 tahun smayg raya kat situ. Dari dia sekolah lg. Senang sb ayah dah biasa, dia lecturer kat UTM tu. Jadi aku ikut tradisi jer. Lepas smayg, sesi fotografi :-)


 
 

Selesai sesi fotografi di sekitar UTM, kitorg semua balik la berehat kat rumah dl. Makan2 biskut, borak2... lepas tu tibalah sesi bermaaf-maafan. Mak ngan ayah dok atas kerusi, anak2 amik giliran utk bersalam-salaman and bagi2 angpau. Balqis pun tak ketinggalan bersalaman dgn atuk, nenek, aunties and uncles. Dapat angpau!

Biasanya lepas tu kitorang akan berangkat ke kampung belah mak di Kg Melayu Majdi.Tapi tahun ni lewat sket berangkat sebab salah sorang adik iparku baru beberapa hari bersalin. Kesian plak nak tinggal lama2 berdua ngan husband dia je. Lepas zohor baru kami bertolak.

Sebelum bertolak tu sempat lagi aku layan main ngan Balqis and snap beberapa foto..

Kat rumah Nyang, dah tak ramai. Kebanyakkan orang datang beraya pagi. Yang ada cuma keluarga 2 org adik mak. Lepas layan kitorang makan, derang semua kuar pegi beraya rumah kawan yg sakit, kat mana tah. Kitorang tak pegi, yang pegi makcik2 and mak je. Layan la citer Puaka Niyang Rapik kat tv sat. Petang baru derang balik. Lepas derang balik, kitorang semua pun siap-siap la nak balik rumah.

Raya kedua tu, mak buat open house tp utk sedara2 terdekat je. Meriah jugak walaupun tak berapa ramai. Petang tu aku kena bergerak balik ke Kelantan utk beraya kat sana plak tapi kitorg stop bermalam kat Kuantan. Esoknya baru sambung perjalanan ke Kelantan. Jauh sgt, tak larat nak duduk dalam kereta 12 jam terus ke Kelantan. Husband aku pya plan sebenarnya nak bergerak dlm kul 5ptg tp sb tetamu ada lagi, last2 bergerak dlm kul 7mlm.

Hari Raya ke 4, parents aku wat open house. Jemput semua sedara, jiran2 and rakan2. Meriah betul! Balqis pun punya la seronok bermain ngan sepupu2 dia sampai 2 kali tukar baju. Berpeluh!   Sebelah pagi sblm tetamu datang, husband aku pegi beraya rumah salah sorang ahli AOC(Alphard Owner Club), Dr Syukri kat Jalan Hospital. Balqis and adik bongsu aku ikut skali. 

Lepas beraya rumah Dr Syukri, derang pun balik la. Kat rumah, tetamu dah start datang berperingkat. Aku tak menang tangan melayan, angkat makanan dan minuman, bersalaman dan bagi2 angpau kat budak2. Penat terasa tapi seronok tak terkata. Setahun sekali je dpt jumpe semua.

 Malam keesokkannya iaitu raya ke 5, selepas solat maghrib kami semua memakai pakaian warna tema tahun ni; Gold utk amik gambar family. Ruang yg digunakan mestilah guest hall sb besar sket dan lebih cantik utk photo potret keluarga. Then ada la sket ruang2 lain yg diambil as well as free style photo :-) Yg free style ni adik2 laki aku la nak.

Hari isnin 5 sept, kitorg bertolak balik ke KL. Untuk elak jem, kitorg lalu ikut Terengganu guna LPT. Highway tu tak siap sepenuhnya lagi, dijangka tahun depan siap dan dibuak secra rasmi tapi boleh la klu nak lalu separuh. Dibukak sementara khusus utk perayaan aildilfitri. Dalam pukul 9.30mlm, kitorg semua selamat sampai ke rumah..

Best betul beraya di kampung. Semoga berjumpa lagi Ramadhan dan Aidilfitri tahun hadapan :-)

Learning method used for Balqis

Hari ni aku rasa tergerak hati nak berkongsi bahan2 pembelajaran yg aku gunakan utk mengajar Balqis. Aku bukan lah pakar ilmu atau kanak2 yang kaya dengan pengetahuan, teori dan sebagainya. Aku cuma seorang ibu yg mencuba logik fikiran sendiri utk mengajar anak membaca dan mengira lebih cepat berbanding usianya.



Siri CD Your Baby Can Read

Pada peringkat awal, masa dia berumur lebih kurang 14-16bulan, aku belikan flash card alphabet dan nombor as well as CD "Your Baby Can Read - Starter". Aku mulakan dgn alphabet dulu.Disebabkan sibuk dengan urusan kerja pada waktu siang, aku mintak bibik pasangkan CD "Your Baby Can Read - Starter" tu berulang2 kecuali masa nak masuk waktu solat zohor atau asar. Masa tu stop, pasang zikir Indahnya Iman di channel Oasis.Balqis suka dengar dan aku tak nak dia hilang minat kat zikir2 tu plak nnt.

Pada waktu malam plak, aku ajarkan flashcard alphabet. Tiap2 hari jadual Balqis mcm tu. Naluri budak mmg ada ketikanya dia lari dan bosan utk duduk belajar lama2. Bila dia mula beralih perhatian pada mainan lain, aku ikutkan saja. Lepas tu aku tarik balik perhatian ke arah flashcard. Sehinggalah habis sampai Z. Caranya mudah, aku ambil satu persatu flashcard dan cuma tanya soalan sama



Flashcards

"Balqis, what is this?" , aku jawab "this is A. A for apple".

Aku tanya aku yg jawab sb dia belum tau dan belum boleh bercakap. Aku ulang lagi flashcard lain plak

"Balqis, what is this?" , aku jawab "This is B. B for butterfly"

Begitulah seterusnya sampai Z.

Satu malam, entah kenapa aku terasa mcm yakin anakku Balqis dah mengenal alphabet2 tu sme. Jadi aku buatkan satu game. Aku letak 3 flashcards secara rawak dan aku suruh dia tunjukkan alphabet yang aku sebut.

"Balqis, can you tell me which one is C? C for Cap." Surprisingly dia amik flashcard C dan bagi pada aku.
Aku cuba lg yg lain. Pun tepat jugak. Sampai la semua alphabet dah habis aku cuba dan semuanya betul! Gembira tak terkata..dalam hati aku bersyukur. Aku berjaya buat dia kenal alphabet pada usia 1 tahun 4 bulan.

Kemudian aku mulakan yg nombor, color dan shape Aku gunakan kaedah yang sama. Alhamdulillah sebulan selepas tu, semua dia dah kenal. Lepas sebulan, aku suruh bibik pasang CD Your Baby Can Read volume 1. Dua bulan kemudian, volume 2 dan seterusnya. Ujian aku lakukan berperingkat. Lepas mengenal A-Z, 1-20,shape and color, aku uji plak dgn perkataan. Seperti yg anda boleh saksikan dalam post saya yg terdahulu, video yg saya kongsikan menunjukkan Balqis berjaya membaca perkataan2 yg saya tulis dgn betul.Selepas berjaya dgn perkataan, aku uji pula dgn ayat2 ringkas dan senang disebut. Alhamdulillah pada usia 2 tahun 4 bulan, Balqis dah boleh membaca ayat2 mudah.

Kini aku dalam proses mengembangkan lagi pembacaannya dan Balqis juga sudah tahu membaca kiraan matematik. "1 + 1 = 2". Dia akan baca "One plus one equals to two". Sekarang dalam peringkat pembacaan, insyaAllah aku akan ajarkan kaedah mengira pula nnt.

Semoga apa yg saya kongsikan ini dapat memberi sedikit idea dan membantu pembelajaran anak2 anda semua juga. Sama-sama kita berkongsi benda yg baik, mudah-mudahan diberikan ganjaran oleh Allah swt. Amiin..

WANTED!!!!!!!! Have anyone seen these 2 DEVILS????



MR ANDRE PANG KOK FEI(CEO of Diagonal Consulting Sdn Bhd) and MR HENRY TAN(CFO of Diagonal Consulting Sdn Bhd)

WANTED!!! If anyone seen these 2 devils please report to the nearest police station! And if happen that these devils apply to work in your company or organization, please kick their ass out of the door coz they’ll cease your operations with immediate effect without proper notice and procedure!

These are the 2 monkeys that ran away (suspected to run with company's money and asset) and declared that Diagonal Consulting Sdn Bhd had ceased operations with immediate effect, September 12 2011 via email sent to emplyees' personal mail on September 11 2011. They have not follow the proper procedure of business termination as stated under Companies Commission of Malaysia rules and guidelines. Subsequently they have breached the Companies Act 1965(Act 125) and Companies Regulations 1966.

We have lodged a police report and as this is a civil case, we're planning to appoint a lawyer to settle our compensation and rights. Their names have been blacklisted in the industries.

I wonder where they are now?? Don't tell me they're having fun at Hawaii beach with the money!! Bloody stupid monkeys!

Lesson learnt - You'll know it's time to move when many people left, no new staffs coming in, keep hiring freshies(much cheaper),terminate or freeze contractors, changing server to local,seldomly update company's status,group of outsiders coming in and out having discussion with CEO and CFO,keep on telling employees "we're doing fine" , "more projects coming in"... which actually..BULLSHITS!!

September 11, 2011

It's a unique date to me. This is the date where a big disaster once happened in US, and now after 10 years, the disaster repeated but to our company. Today, Diagonal Consulting Sdn Bhd was just a memory to all of employees who once serving for the company's businesses and clients. Shocking came when we check our personal mailbox on Sunday Sept 11, where CEO's email received informing that company ceased operations with immediate effect. Bigger shock came on Monday Sept 12 where the CEO and CFO were uncontactable and to be believed ran away with company's asset and cash.

Thanks and congratulation to all of us for being together and supporting each other. Diagonal was a beautiful place where it was full of joy, place to share happiness and pain and it was a place where we've built a strong relationship between each other. That day, we proved everything. Some of us already signed offer from other company but yet unhappy and postpone the start date just to stand with the rest, share the feeling, help them finding other jobs and of course to find justice! Some others were liaising with investor to absorb Diagonal's employees into their company. Even we know their main intention is to get Diagonal's clients to continue business with them, it was not a big matter as long as all of us guaranteed for job with better package.

Monday Sept 12.. i suppose to come to office to submit my resignation letter but this thing happened. It's no longer needed and by right i should be happy because at least i've already got other job with another MNC company from Denmark. Unfortunately no, i was not happy. I have many great friends there which i don't know what would happen to them next. How could i be happy??

Then few arrangements has been done with investors and we've been targeted by head hunters and other companies which looking for SAP Consultants. Our phones were kept on ringing and we're very busy answering their calls and emails. I felt like there're more options and offers after this thing happened compared to when we're still under a company :-) At the end we're confused and don't know which one to choose. Now i'm happy because i know there are so many opportunities for all of them. I myself also consider other offers even i've already got one :-)

As for the CEO and CFO case, we've lodged a police report, appointed a lawyer and referred the case to responsible ministry dept. We're working as a team to get these two bloody stupid monkeys down!

Now i'm free. Very free..first time i have time like this since graduated! :-) Let’s enjoy and fully utilize this free time!!!! I’ll busy and headache with work again starting this coming Oct.....huhuhu..

Balqis @ 2 years 4 months - Read short essay

Video ni di ambil masa Balqis umo 2 thn 4 bln. Dah 4 bulan berlalu..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alhamdulillah..Balqis dah boleh baca simple short essay. Aku tulis sendiri essay ni dgn menggabungkan perkataan2 yg dia dah belajar and kata2 penghubung utk jadikan satu ayat.

Balqis @ 2 years 2 months - Improve learning!

Video ni yg lama jugak..dah post dlm FB tp baru skang nak post dlm blog.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Masa ni Balqis umo 2 yrs 2 mths. Aku dah start develop dia nyer knowledge from reading simple words and recognizing numbers and shapes kpd Iqra' plak.

Alhamdulillah Balqis jenis yg senang catch up. Ajar skali dua dah leh igt. Paling senang nak ajar is huruf baris atas and depan. Baris bawah tu memula dia mcm terkonfius ngan baris atas. Skang ni dia dah bleh baca simple sentence.

Lepas dah confident, aku wat test utk sme start dari reading, numbers sampai iqra'. Inilah hasilnya...

Balqis @ 1 year 11 months - Read simple words

Video ni pun dah lama aku upload dlm FB. Cuma baru nak update dlm blog. Alang2 dah masuk blog, aku coretkan sket narration..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pada usia 1 thn 11 bulan, Balqis dah boleh membaca simple words. Aku masih teruskan penggunaan CD Your Baby Can Read cuma aku kembangkan sket vocab dia. Alhamdulillah dia bleh ikut..

Mcm bese, lepas confident ngan learning session dia, aku buat test. Aku tulis perkataan2 atas drawing pad and aku soh dia baca. Alhamdulillah dia lulus test tu.. :-)

Dalam hati,aku bersyukur dan berdoa agar sme ni berterusan, Allah berikan aku kekuatan utk aku terus mendidik anakku wpun dlm masa yg terhad dan Balqis lebih maju hari demi hari..

Masa umo dia camni jugaklah dia start suke ikut mummy and daddy dia smayg berjemaah. Aku belum belikan telekung smayg utk dia tp cuma menggalakkan dia utk berdiri sbelah aku dan smayg sama2. Mmg xkan cukup rakaat bila dia smayg. Paling lama leh tahan pun 2 rakaat lepas tu ntah kemana dah... tp xpelah,sekurang2nya dia ada minat. Biasalah, bukan mudah nak suruh budak sekecil tu ikut peraturan dgn sempurna. Yg penting aku terus galakkan dia smayg, doa dan baca quran lepas smayg. Masa doa, dia akan duduk atas riba aku and tadah tgn sampai habis. Lepas habis doa, dia akan salam and cium pipi daddy and mummy. 

Lepas tu aku akan suruh dia amikkan al-Quran daddy and mummy.

"Balqis, can u pls take daddy's Quran and give it to daddy?" Dia pun cepat2 amik Quran daddy atas dressing table and bagi kat daddy. Dia dah kenal mana satu Quran daddy mana satu Quran mummy. 

Lepas bagi Quran daddy and mummy, aku akan tya "Where's your Quran? Go take your Quran syg". Dia pun cepat2 amik Quran dia. Sbenarnya bukan Quran, aku just bg buku yasin dan maksurat utk dia. Aku betau dia, itu Quran dia. Sampai skang dia anggap tu Quran dia. Wpun dia tak faham dan tak boleh baca pun Quran tu, sekurang2nya dia buat action and baca ikut sedap kuar mulut dia. Bg aku itu dah cukup baik, at least dia faham apa itu baca Quran, mcm mana tatatertib nak baca Quran and yg penting ada minat. Yang lain2, boleh perlaha-lahan ajar dia nnt. Aku yakin, dia akan igt surah2 lazim dan zikir2 klu slalu dan terus dgr bacaan smayg daddy and channel oasis. Alhamdulillah skang ni pun dia dah igt beberapa zikir yg daddy dia alunkan utk tidurkan dia and zikir2 ust zulkarnain, asri and munif kat channel oasis.

Balqis @ 19months - ABC Test

Masa Balqis umo 16mths, aku start dedahkan dia dgn mainan yg lebih berunsur akademik. No more dummy toys. First aku try ngan flash cards ABC. Tiap2 malam lepas makan, aku main and ajar dia flash cards ABC. Keep on repeating the same thing.. "What is this? This is A. A for apple" Aku yg tanya aku yg jawab. Dia tersengih2 and angguk2. Tak tau dia faham ke tak tp nampak mcm dia seronok. From there i know at least i got her attention. It's ok, just go on. I have to believe in my daughter's ability. She's a baby and very young but doesn't mean that she can't understand anything. That's what i was thinking.

Numbers plak aku slalu bilang anak tangga masa bawak dia naik turun tangga ke tingkat atas and bawah. Siap berirama lg hehhee.. Lama2 dia dah leh follow sequence number tu. So menyenangkan keje aku la sket. Just nak soh dia kenal bentuk nombor tu je la mcm mana.Sequence dah tahu.

Masa berlalu..

Masa dia umo 19mths, tergerak hati aku nak test dia nyer ABC. Aku susun 3 flashcards alphabet and soh dia tunjukkan alphabet yg aku sebut. Dapat! Terkejut jugak le. Tak sangka plak yg aku dok ajar2 slama ni mmg melekat dlm kepala dia. Lalu aku rakamkan dlm video sbg kenangan and today, i would like to share it with my dear readers.. :-)

Saya Boleh Nampak Dia… Mama Tak Nampak?

Jangan bimbang, si manja bukan nampak hantu; itu hanya kawan khayalannya! Oleh Profesor Madya Dr Alvin Ng Lai Oon, Pakar Psikologi Klinikal

“Mama tak boleh duduk sini! Nanti Mama duduk atas Lina!” Aida menegur ibunya Puan Rosnah yang hendak meletakkan punggung di atas sofa di sebelahnya. Si ibu melihat tempat duduk yang kosong dan bertanya, “Siapa Lina?” dengan kening terangkat dan dahi berkerut. Terpijak "halimunan" Kanak-kanak kecil kadang-kalanya gemar bercakap sendirian sewaktu bermain trak dan kereta api atau bermain dengan anak patung mereka, yang setiap satu diberi nama seperti manusia. Ada kalanya si manja berbual atau bermain dengan seseorang yang tidak dilihat. Kawan imaginasi atau khayalan anak anda mungkin seorang kanak-kanak lain yang sebaya dengannya, seorang watak ajaib atau fantasi, atau mungkin juga seekor binatang. Seseorang kawan khayalan boleh berubah mengikut peredaran masa, apabila si manja melalui fasa tertentu dalam hidupnya. Bagi sesetengah kanak-kanak, ‘kawannya’ mungkin datang sesekali atau muncul selang beberapa hari, manakala bagi yang lain ‘kawan’ itu adalah teman sepanjang masa. Anak anda akan melayan ‘kawannya’ seperti melayan kawan sebenar, kawan yang dilihatnya setiap hari dan boleh bermain bersama. Jadi, jangan terperanjat jika si manja memberitahu anda bahawa anda mungkin terpijak ‘kawannya’, atau anda duduk di tempatnya, atau meminta anda menyediakan tempat untuk ‘kawannya’ di meja makan apabila tiba waktu makan. Adakah si manja anda kesunyian? Bermain dengan kawan khayalan tidak bermakna anak anda kesunyian. Ia mungkin hanya bermakna si manja seronok bermain dengan seseorang selain kawan SEBENAR yang biasa menjadi teman sepermainannya setiap hari. Kawan khayalan membantu si manja anda berfikir secara lebih kreatif, membolehkan mereka melakukan sesuatu dengan cara yang berlainan. Ini juga adalah satu cara yang membolehkan anak anda mempraktikkan kemahiran sosial, agar mereka berasa lebih selesa dan lebih yakin apabila bertemu dengan kawan betul yang sebaya dengan mereka. Ada kalanya, mereka berpura-pura mempunyai kawan khayalan sematamata kerana ingin mempunyai seseorang yang boleh dikuasai dan mengikut telunjuk mereka, lebih-lebih lagi jika semua orang di sekeliling mereka cuba mengawal tindakan mereka. Kawan khayalan mungkin juga bertindak sebagai teman yang boleh dipercayai – tempat mencurah rahsia dan isi hati, kerana anak-anak kecil juga mempunyai isu yang terlalu peribadi atau takut diketahui oleh orang dewasa. Sebahagian daripada proses membesar Ramai pakar mengakui bahawa kawan khayalan adalah sebahagian daripada norma hidup dan perkembangan kanak-kanak. Kawan khayalan bukan menimbulkan masalah, sebaliknya mereka boleh membantu anak-anak anda menangani beberapa tekanan dalam hidup mereka, dan juga melenyapkan sesetengah daripada ketakutan mereka. Apabila si manja memujuk ‘kawannya’ yang takut gelap, ini mungkin bermakna bahawa anak anda sebenarnya yang takut berada di tempat gelap. Dengan memujuk ‘kawannya’, bermakna si manja juga cuba mengatasi ketakutannya sendiri. Ia juga mungkin bermakna anda terlalu mendesak anak-anak lebih daripada yang sepatutnya, atau mengenakan terlalu banyak peraturan untuk mereka, menyebabkan mereka menyalahkan kawan khayalan mereka apabila mereka berkelakuan buruk atau melakukan kesilapan. Ambil perhatian! Si manja mungkin cuba memanipulasi anda menggunakan kawan khayalannya. Ada kalanya, kanak-kanak menggunakan ‘kawan’ mereka untuk mengelakkan daripada melakukan sesuatu yang tidak diingini. Kalau anda tak boleh kalahkan mereka, ikut rentak mereka! Ikut rentak si manja jika anda tidak pasti bagaimana untuk memberi respons kepada kawan khayalannya: Jika si manja tidak mahu berkongsi ‘kawannya’, jangan cuba untuk bermain dengan mereka melainkan anda diminta. Biasanya anda akan diminta menyediakan sesuatu, seperti tempat untuk kawannya makan bersama, atau diminta tidak duduk di kerusi tertentu. Si manja mungkin menggunakan ‘kawannya’ untuk "dipersalahkan" bagi sesetengah daripada perbuatan yang dilakukan, seperti menumpahkan susu atau memecahkan pasu bunga. Anda boleh mengajarnya dengan memberitahu si manja bahawa kemalangan boleh berlaku dan dia bersama ‘kawannya’ boleh membantu anda membersihkan tumpahan atau memungut serpihan pasu. Cuba beri peluang kepada anak anda untuk bertemu dan bermain dengan kanak-kanak lain yang sebaya dengannya. Jika permainan dan aktiviti bersama mereka cukup menyeronokkan, minatnya terhadap ‘kawan istimewa’ akan beransur-ansur hilang dan si manja lebih suka bercampur gaul dengan budak lain. Jangan memperbodohkan anak anda sekiranya dia mempunyai kawan khayalan, tetapi galakkannya supaya lebih berkawan dengan rakan sebayanya. Menghukum anak kerana mempunyai kawan khayalan boleh membawa lebih keburukan daripada kebaikan. Kawan khayalan biasanya tidak menimbulkan masalah, dan jika si manja seronok bermain dengan budak lain dan melakukan aktiviti yang menyeronokkan bersama anda dan mereka, tidak ada apa-apa yang perlu anda risaukan. Apabila mereka besar dan mempunyai lebih ramai kawan ‘sebenar’ dan dapat menangani ketakutan mereka dengan lebih baik lagi, kawan khayalan mereka akan hilang dengan sendiri. Seandainya si manja anda terus memilih kawan khayalan sebagai teman bermain daripada menghabiskan masa dengan rakan sebayanya, anda patut renungkan apa yang sebenarnya berlaku dalam hidupnya dan berusaha untuk membolehkan anak anda merasai keseronokan bermain dalam kehidupan sebenar.

Salam and Hello..

Steve Jobs resigns from Apple, Cook becomes CEO



Apple Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs holds the new "iPad" during the launch of Apple's new tablet computing device in San Francisco, California, in this January 27, 2010 file photograph. Jobs …more  resigned as CEO of Apple, the company announced August 24, 2011. Tim Cook, the company's Chief Operating Officer, who has been standing in for Jobs during his medical leave, has been named the new CEO, with Jobs becoming Chairman.

 SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Silicon Valley legend Steve Jobs on Wednesday resigned as chief executive of Apple Inc in a stunning move that ended his 14-year reign at the technology giant he co-founded in a garage.

Apple shares dived as much as 7 percent in after-hours trade after the pancreatic cancer survivor and industry icon, who has been on medical leave for an undisclosed condition since January 17, announced he will be replaced by COO and longtime heir apparent Tim Cook.

Analysts do not expect Jobs' resignation -- which had long been foreseen -- to derail the company's fabled product-launch roadmap, including possibly a new iPhone in September and a third iteration of the iPad tablet in 2012.

"I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come," he said in a brief letter announcing his resignation.

The 55-year-old CEO had briefly emerged from his medical leave in March to unveil the latest version of the iPad and later to attend a dinner hosted by President Barack Obama for technology leaders in Silicon Valley.

Jobs' often-gaunt appearance has sparked questions about his health and his ability to continue at Apple.

"I will say to investors: don't panic and remain calm, it's the right thing to do. Steve will be chairman and Cook is CEO," said BGC Financial analyst Colin Gillis.

Apple shares slid to $357.40 in extended trading after a brief halt. They had gained 0.7 percent to close at $376.18 on the Nasdaq.Analysts again expressed confidence in the Apple bench, headed by longtime company No. 2 and supply-chain maven Cook.

"Investors are very comfortable with Tim Cook even though Jobs has been a driver of innovation and clearly an Apple success. Tim has shown Apple can still outperform extremely well when he's been acting as CEO," said Cross Research analyst Shannon Cross.

"I don't know if it's a health issue. I don't know if it is a shock. Most likely it was going to happen at some point. Why today versus another day? I don't know."

Mark Zuckerberg Beats Steve Jobs as Worst-Dressed Man in Technology

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was named worst-dressed man in technology by GQ magazine, beating out Apple’s Steve Jobs and proving that astronomical sums of money can’t buy style.

Zuckerberg hit the top spot in the tongue-in-chic survey because of his casual, forever-collegiate wardrobe of ill-fitting hoodies, jeans, t-shirts and Adidas sandals, which GQ called a “fresh-from-Stats-class look.”
The CEO is “oblivious to the fact that jeans and ties come in skinny sizes — or that suits exist.” Zuckerberg has donned suit jackets in the past, such as when he met with President Barack Obama for a tech summit with major technology executives, but stuck with his trademark jeans even on these special occasions.

The social network CEO’s style has even inspired a mock fashion line, Mark by Mark Zuckerberg, “which thankfully doesn’t sell any actual clothing,” according to GQ. Zuckerberg managed to beat out Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who took second place in GQ’s poll. Jobs was criticized for his trademark uniform of “black turtleneck, dad jeans and Seinfeld kicks,” which the magazine said was a “style blunder no AutoCorrect can fix.”

“Apple releases an iPhone every 0.5 seconds,” said the magazine. “Steve Jobs never gets an upgrade.”
Taking third place was Microsoft founder Bill Gates, which GQ took down for his “lazy preppy” wardrobe.

“Curious how Harry Potter will age post-Hogwarts?” GQ said. “When you’re Scrooge McDuck rich, a snazzy ensemble isn’t tops on your to-do.”

Kangkong RM300.02!

Smlm amik EL sb ada hal sket pg tu. Sbenarnya leh je nak masuk ofis petang tu tp malas la. Lgpun baju raya anak and tudung sme tak beli lg.Bek gi shopping jap.Lepas settle hal aku belah pagi, tgh hari tu aku balik amik bibik and anak aku. Kitorang bershopping kat Carefour Wangsamaju. Kat situ leh tahan gak la klu stakat tudung2, baju kurung budak, baju kurung bese utk bibik pun leh la nak beli situ.

Habis bershopping baju and tudung, kitorang masuk la dalam carefour cari barang dapur sket. Dah penat menjelajah carefour,barang pun dah dapat, beratur la plak utk bayar. Makcik depan aku ada masalah sb sayur tak timbang.Alamak! aku pun tak timbang gak. Aku tak penah beli barang dapur kat situ, tak sure le plak cane caranya. Aku tgk kat bahagian sayur td, papan tanda tu tulis RM0.25 per ikat. Aku faham mmg tu la harga utk satu ikat sayur kangkung.Wat pe nak timbang2 lg??

Budak cashier tu call le org dia...tya psl sayur ni cane.Agaknya org tu soh ketepikan dl ke pe tak to. Pastu budak tu totalkan barang len dl and sayur tu tolak tepi dl. Dah bayar yg tu, dia pun teruskan yg aku punya. Awal2 lg aku dah betau budak tu...

"Dik,akak pun ada sayur jugak. Kena timbang ke??"

"Aah,kena timbang dl kak."

"Tu tak timbang tu cane?"

Terkial-kial budak tu nak jawab. "Kejap eh kak"

Kejap lepas tu ada sorang pompuan datang bg kod yg ditulis si sekeping kertas. Budak tu pun masukkan la kod tu. Aku x pasan bape harga yg kuar kat screen rege mesin cash tu. Pastu utk sayur2 lain, dia pi panggil senior dia kot. Org tu datang baru la leh masukkan kod utk sayur2 len.

Total RM388.60!!

Oiiitt!!! terkejut gilerr aku. Tapi tah nape masa tu aku ikutkan je. Xde cash, aku pakai credit card. Melayang la RM388.60....

Masa jalan kuar ank turun escalater, aku terlintas nak check resit. Kebanyakan harga bawah RM10. Sampai kat kangkong, maakkkkk!!! Kangkong satu ikat RM300.02????? Gilerrr pe?!!!

"Jom bik, kita patah balik kat kaunter td. Malaun mana jual kangkong RM300 seikat!"

Sampai kat kaunter td, aku tunjuk resit kat budak tu. "Dik, ni salah ni dik. Kangkong RM300.Mengarut!"
Dia soh aku gi claim kat bhgn customer service kat depan. Aku pegi arr.. Kalau 30sen leh la aku pejam mata. ni RM300 weiii.. Kaya benor aku nak pejam mata!

Sampai kat customer service, mula la sesi clarification and investigation... aah betul budak cashier mentah tu silap key in kod. So derang refund RM300.02 yg di charge utk kangkong dlm credit card tu. Balance yg aku kena byr nnt utk credit card tu jadi RM88.58. Haa baru betul! Aku tya budak customer service tu klu refund sme xleh ke, aku nak byr cash RM88.58 tu. Derang ckp xleh.. aduiiii x pasal2 aku kena beratur kat maybank nnt utk byr ni. Account maybank xde, klu x..leh la aku bayar online je pakai maybank2u. 


Total price RM388.60!



Total refund RM300.02 (harga kangkong seikat!)





Maid Kemboja : Bangsat!

Dua hari lepas, husband aku citer pasal maid kawan dia lari dr rumah. Anak lelaki umo setahun lebih ditinggal berseorangan and rumah berkunci! "Sial punya maid!" tu la yg terludah dlm hati aku masa tu.

Pagi khamis lepas, kawan husband aku and wife dia turun pegi keje mcm bese. Petang tu wife dia sampai rumah dlm kul 4.30pm. Terkejut tgk anak dia menangis sambil gapai2 nak naik buaian (sb budak tu biasa tido dlm buai). Terus di tipon husband dia. Tergopoh-gopoh si suami balik rumah.

Disebabkan rumah derang ni jenis apartment, dlm lif tu ada CCTV. Bila di check, xde pun nampak maid tu naik lif ari kejadian tu. Kemungkinan dia turun ikut tangga. Padan la sebelum tu dia dok sibuk2 suruh pindahkan semua duit gaji dia ke akaun kakak dia kat kemboja. Rupanya dah plan nak lari. Bengong tul!

Aku pun seorang ibu kepada seorang anak pompuan berumo 2 tahun lebih. Bila dgr kisah budak tu yg ditinggal keseorangan dari pagi, of course la aku sedih.. Derang syak maid tu kuar dari pagi bcoz baju budak tu dah basah2 (kemungkinan dia dah x tentu arah merayau,menangis sampai ke bilik air), kotor, lesu dan kelaparan. Memang tak dapat aku bayangkan betapa takut dan seksanya budak tu. Agaknya dia tercari-cari mana pergi semua orang. Ketakutan, perut pun lapar.

Cukup lama tempoh dari pagi hingga ke pukul 4.30ptg untuk seorang bayi umo setahun lebih terkunci dlm rumah berseorangan.. Apa2 pun leh jadi memandangkan dia dah merayau seluruh rumah termasuklah bilik air. Nasib baik la Allah swt tak gerakkan hati dia untuk panjat ke mangkuk jamban atau baldi. Tapi tak tau la klu dia ada terminum atau tertelan sisa air dlm bilik air tu..

Lepas tu, si suami terpaksa amik cuti utk jaga anak tu. Isteri dia susah sket nak cuti sb cikgu. Smlm pun x masuk office lg. Budak tu plak dah mcm trauma. Asal pg je,dia bangun terus peluk kemas mak atau ayah dia. Agaknya takut ditinggalkan bersendirian lg.

Mungkin lepas ni terpaksa dok rumah mak bapak kat Seremban and ulang alik ke KL la. Sblm dpt maid tu pun derang ulang alik dr Seremban ke KL. Mak bapak derang jaga budak tu. Lepas dapat maid x beberapa bulan lalu tu je derang pindah dok rumah kat KL.

Husband aku sarankan dia pegi buat report polis. Klu tak dapat tangkap pun, at least dia dah di blacklist and tak boleh keje kat mana2 dah dlm Malaysia ni. Lg satu, pegi matikan permit keje dia kat imigresen.

Memang BANGSAT punya kemboja!! Tak sedar diri merempat di negara sendiri, menagih di negara orang! F**K YOU BLOODY B*T*H!!!!

SAP Training in Yokohama and Osaka,Japan

Japan was my last destination for SAP training. Jarak training Japan dgn China ni dlm 2 bulan jugak la. Akhir bulan January baru pegi. Kali ni berbeza sket sb training tu dibuat di 2 lokasi berbeza; Yokohama and Osaka. Penatnya memikirkan penerbangan tu sme.. From KLIA to Yokohama, Yokohama to Osaka, Osaka back to KLIA. Aduss...

17 Jan 2011
11.50pagi :
Berlepas la aku dari main terminal KLIA menuju ke Singapore Changi Airport, naik SilkAir. Transit kat situ.From Singapore tu amik Singapore Airlines ke Tokyo Haneda International Airport.

Changi Airport

23.05malam :
Sampai la aku di Haneda International Airport. Berbeza dgn travel tour aku yg lepas2, sampai je dah ada org tunggu kat airport. Kali ni xde org tunggu. Derang xleh nak atur sb very high cost! Aku bengang giler masa mula2 tau. Cess! Tp nak wat cane.. Before terbang tu aku dah survey siap2,derang dah bg instruction siap2 cane nak ke Richmond Hotel. Dari Haneda Airport, aku amik bus ke Yokohama City Air Terminal (YCAT). Dlm flight aku dok sbelah pasangan veteran Jepun. Laki dia leh speaking sket2. So aku mintak tolong dia tuliskan alamat Richmond Hotel dalam bahasa jepun. Kot2 driver taxi nnt x faham dlm bhs inggeris. Masa tunggu bas ni pun,derang tolong guide aku bas mana yg kena naik.

Bas derang bertolak dl. Bas aku x sampai lg. So aku ckp la thank you. Derang pun bow2 kat aku. Aku bow la jugak. Masa bas derang nak bertolak, sme petugas2 kat stesen tu bow kat bas tu sampai la bas tu berlalu. Aku terpegun kejap ngan budaya derang ni. Kagum pun ye. Hormat! Masa bas aku bertolak pun mcm tu.

 Sampai di YCAT, aku tahan 1 cab ni. Kebetulan kat situ ada 2 org pompuan pun tgh tgu. Aku soh dia naik dl tp agaknya derang tgk aku ni pelancong ke pe,dia pun soh aku naik dl. Disebabkan nak jaga hati derang and hari pun dah lewat mlm, aku pun ikutkan aje. Aku bow and say thank you. Derang pun bow. Aku bow lg. Derang bow balik. Ahhh!sudah la wei. Asik dok bow2 bila nak habis?! haha..

Aku tunjuk alamat dlm bahasa jepun tu kat driver. Sampai depan hotel, terkocoh2 dia kuar bukak pintu kete utk aku.Pastu bow! adehh..jenuh plak nak tunduk2 nih. Sejuk gilerr!! Suhu masa tu dlm 0'C - 1'C. Malas nak pakai glove td. Mcm masuk freezer jer tgn aku nih.


Richmond Hotel

18.01.2011

Pagi2 lg aku dah check out and amik cab ke office. Org hotel tu ckp, mahal klu amik cab. Dia sarankan aku amik train. Malas la aku nak tercari-cari train mana,stop kat mana ape sme. Amik cab senang. Bg alamat kat driver, dah...

Sampai kat office, sme dah ready tunggu aku. Pakcik driver tu plak td tak bape faham omputih,terlajak la plak..terpaksa pusing balik. Lambat aku sampai. Dah la derang ni jenis on time.

Aku tau japanese x ramai leh speaking well. 90% tak leh. Masa aku present tu, tak tau la derang paham ke tak. Sme mcm paham,xde soalan sgt. Ada 2 3 org je yg nampak aktif sket. Tu yg leh speaking la wpun tergagap2. Yang len2 aku tak tau and aku tak peduli hahaha!


Audience...mcm khusyuk dgn 'ceramah' aku hikhikhik



Tamat sesi hari tu, aku terus ke Haneda Airport. Nak kejar flight ke Osaka plak. Aku pegi naik train je. Sesetgh train station derang ada signboard dlm english tp sesetgh tu xde. Train yg aku naik nak ke airport ni xde english, sme in kanji and pe tah satu lg nama tulisan tu. Sib bek aku gi ngan sorang Manager yg uruskan training ni kat sana. Dia pun naik plane kat Haneda gak cuma plane lain la. Tak sama ngan aku. Dia chinese, so leh paham la tulisan kanji tu. Aku ikut je dia. Sampai Haneda, naik la plane masing2. Janji jumpa kat Itami Airport nnt.

Sampai di Itami, aku plak lupa amik bagasi. Dah kuar gate, xleh masuk balik. Aku betau sorg petugas pompuan kat kaunter depan gate tu. Dia la yg tolong amikkan bagasi aku. Just bg description beg yg camne. Elok2 je dpt beg tu, Manager td pun sampai. So from there kitorg amik train ke Senri-Chuo station. Aku pakai glove, tak tahan sejuk sgt. Hidung pun dah rasa pedih,bibir kering,mata mcm berkabus. Sib bek dlm train ada heater kat bhgn bawah tempat duduk. Selesa sket rasa.

From Senri-Chuo station, kitorg jalan kaki ke Senri Hankyu Hotel. Tak jauh pun, sebelah je. Singgah beli makanan jap. Drpd tour ni aku blajar gak cara pilih and nilai makanan nak pastikan makanan tu halal wpun kdg2 tergerak dlm hati, ini 100% halal ke??? Normally aku akan pilih seafood and check kandungan dia. Klu xde bahan2 yg mencurigakan, aku beli. Sampai hotel, terus check in, cuci2 and tido.Penat,tak larat!



19.01.2011

Esoknya, pagi2 mcm biasa aku bersiap2 ke office. Breakfast dl kat hotel. Kali ni berdua ngan Manager smlm tu. Senang sket. Tak payah nak pikir mcm mana nak pegi. Aku ikut je dia. Lgpun dia leh ckp jepun sket2. Kitorg pegi naik cab je sb dia ckp office tu dekat je ngan hotel.

Kali ni aku sampai awal. Audience kat office ni lbh sedikit and pasif banding kat Yokohama. Tak pe lah, lagi senang keje aku. Tak payah pening2 pale sangat nak jawab soalan. hehehehe...

Habis training, kitorg balik ke hotel naik bas. Aku ikut aje... Kat depan office tu ada bus stand. So tunggu bas kat situ la. Then dia stop at Senri-Chuo station. On the way ke hotel tu mcm bese, kitorg stop cari makanan dl. Dia ajak kuar lg malam nnt lepas member aku 2 org lg tu sampai from Yokohama tp mcm malas plak nak kuar lepas dah naik. Aku beli siap2 makanan aku.

Balik hotel, surf sket. Update facebook and so on. Adapter tak bawak, pinjam yg Manager tu pya. hehehe...
Surf internet sampai la mata aku ngantuk..

20.01.2011

Pagi2 lg dah bangun, check out, breakfast and kejar train from Senri-Chuo ke Shin-Osaka station. From Shin-Osaka tu nnt aku amik Shinkansen(train laju yg terus ke airport) ke Kansai International Airport.

The day before, Manager tu dah betau aku, nnt amik tiket ke station no 13 (Shin-Osaka). Tapi aku lupa lak vending machine tu sme dlm bhs jepun.Satu haram pun aku tak faham. Aku tya la org sebelah yg tgh beli ticket. Aku betau nak gi Shin-Osaka. Then dia tolong buatkan utk aku.

Train ni pengangkutan utama org2 jepun. Jalan raya lengang je. Tak byk kete malah ada sesetgh tempat tu mmg tak nampak kete pun atas jalan. Tp klu pegi train station, ya Allah.. ramai betul manusia!

Shin-Osaka station mcm pusat inter-change ngan lain2 train. Besar and senang sebab ada direction dlm english.


Station tempat tunggu Shinkansen




Shinkansen

 Dalam Shinkansen, on the way ke Kansai International Airport tu sempat lg aku snap few photos wat kenangan. Just gambar view je la..

Kansai International Airport ni besar gak tp aku tak tau la plak besar ke tak compare to Narita kat Tokyo tu. Aku suka Japan ni dgn budaya derang yg berdisiplin, bersih x payah ckp arr.. toilet leh wat tido klu terdesak xde tempat tido. Pastu jenayah xde. Manager tu ckp, sepanjang dia dok Jepun ni, dlm setahun ada la satu kes jenayah utk seluruh Jepun. Tu pasal la dia leh tinggal je bagasi kat luar kedai masa masuk beli makanan aritu. Tapi aku x biasa, takut ilang ke pe. Aku bawak masuk skali bagasi aku. Kat Malaysia dah terbese ngan hidup sentiasa berjaga-jaga, byk crime.So kat sini wpun beg tu x ilang klu tinggal camtu, aku tetap risau.

Selesai check in, aku terus masuk. Tgu kat dlm la. Sempat gak gi shopping sourvenir sket kat airport tu. Kat Haneda aritu shopping key-chain.Ni beli tambah sket, and beli beg utk my only sister :-)

Balik pun sama, transit kat Singapore. Malam lepas maghrib baru aku sampai KLIA. Rindunya aku kat Balqis..my lil princess! Sampai, terus meluru peluk cium dia! Malaysia, i'm back!!
