Balqis @ 2years 10months

@ 2years and 10months, Balqis has already known numbers from 1 to 50. I'll continue to teach her untill hundreds when she turned 3. @ this age, she can also read simple mathematic, even she may not know the calculation but at least i introduce her to the mathematical reading first. Then after that i will teach her logic calculation if she able to catch up.

Thank you Allah for giving me this brilliant child with awesome mind. I will keep on praying for her to be a good muslimah and of course a responsible daughter when she grows up. InsyaAllah..ameen..

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......
