The Rules

Workplace rules for happy life:

1. Trust no one but respect  everyone.

2. What happens in office, remains in office. Never take office gossips to home and vice versa.

3. Enter office on time, leave on time. Your desktop is not helping to improve your health.

4. Never make Relationships in the work place. It will always backfire.

5. Expect nothing. If somebody helps, feel thankful. If not, you will learn to know things on your own.

6. Never rush for a position. If you get promoted, congrats. If not, it doesn't matter. You will always be remembered for your knowledge and politeness, not for your designation.

7. Never run behind office stuff. You have better things to do in life.

8. Avoid taking everything on your ego. Your salary matters. You are being paid. Use your assets to get happiness.

9. It doesn't matter how people treat you. Be humble. You are not everyone's cup of tea.

10. In the end nothing matters except family, friends, home, and Inner peace.

Inflight Science





A tough read, this one!

Some of the chapters kind of brings me back to the struggle of physics classes in high school and Engineering Mechanics subject on those undergraduate days. Pheww.

Btw, here's some fun facts:

1. The risk of plane crash is 1 in 125 million passsenger journey, which is 3x safer than travelling by train. By car, it's 1 in 10 million = 12x as dangerous. Fakta ni mungkin boleh reduce sikit rasa gundah-gulana bila nak fly (hopefully)

2. Usually there's no gate 13 or flight 13 due to some superstitious belief in some culture, that number 13 is associated with bad luck. So some airports do this, not to create panic among the passengers. Kat KLIA ada ke tak gate 13? Kalau kat Senai ni gate memang tak sampai 13 hehe. 

Owh, amazingly, there's no house number 13 on my street! And this fact was actually pointed out to me by the pizza boy months ago, even before I read the book.


3. Trak yang tolak flight ke belakang tu is called tug or pushback tractor

4. Dulu-dulu masa kecik, kalau nampak garisan macam a line of awan halus dekat langit, ingatkan kesan asap roket. (Haha, kaya gila manusia kat bumi ni hari-hari nak launch roket kan). So actually, the name of it is - contrails and they are trails of water droplet left behind by a plane.

5. Relativity

I remember a few years ago, my niece used to ask me "Kenapa bila hari raya, masa tu rasa cepat je?". I wish I had read this book then so I could quote "relativity' from Albert Einstein to her, haha.

"When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. but let him sit on a hot stove for a minute - and it's longer than any hour"


6. Water boils at 90०C, instead of 100०C in a pressurized cabin.

Apothecary

apothecary
əˈpɒθɪk(ə)ri/
  1. a person who prepared and sold medicines and drugs.


Or in another word, it means pharmacist. Pheww, what a difficult word.

Entah kenapa perkataan ni susah sangat nak masuk dalam kepala. Walaupun dah exposed dengan perkataan ni a few years ago - I remember signing up for membership for a pharmacy - D'Apotic. Although at that time I thought it was just a meaningless name.

Dan awal tahun ni, masa aku google info regarding 'food to avoid during rashes break-out' dalam Bahasa Melayu, sebab aku rasa pemakanan kita tak sama dengan the westeners so maybe the info would be more precise if I looked it up in Malay-language-based websites. So macam biasalah, kebanyakannya adalah websites in Bahasa Indonesia, so yeah, they use a lot of 'apotik' word.

But what triggered me the most was when I watched F.R.I.E.N.D.S, the Pottery Barn episode, it revolves around Rachel's and Ross' apothecary table. And I failed every time I wanted to recall the table's name.

So, I hope by writing this, it will somehow stuck in my head. I just want to remember it even though I am pretty sure I'm not going to ever use the word, haha.

The One with Sore Eye

Okay, ini untuk future reference. In case any of the bulus kiddos got sore eye again, these are to look for:



That artificial tears is the same one as what I was wearing when I wore contact lenses 😬. But according to the vet, some of the eye products are applicable to both hooman and cats, but some are not. So you really need to check with the vets first before applying anything to the furry kids’ eyes.

The other one is the antibiotic.

By the way, Mocha got better after 3 days on med. Nothing serious, but he did make me worry on the first day because he spent more time inside the room and inside his carrier. Which usually an indicator that he was not feeling well. Maybe he was just feeling uncomfortable.

On the way to the vet

It’s Medicine Time!

Dah tua-tua ni baru nak tahu waktu yang betul untuk makan ubat. Dulu main belasah je kan. Kadang tu antiobitics pun tak habiskan. Dululah. Sekarang makcik patuh setiap arahan makan ubat (ye ke tu 😜)

Nah, untuk panduan bersama:

Macam Belangkas

Ni bukan macam belangkas. Ini memang belangkas. Hehe.


Pakcik yang tangkap ni nak bagi free je belangkas ni, tapi iols tak pandai nak buang racun dia tu maka tak ambik lah. Kalau dia bagi yang dah masak, memang terus ambik.

Yang saiz besar tu betina, yang kecik jantan. Dan aku baru tahu nama dia in English - Horseshoe Crab. Comel betul nama dia.

Okay dah, sekian pelajaran Biologi Marin hari ini.

Tips Masakan Tahan Lama

These tips I got from observations and also conversations with the elderly. So let me summarize in one article.

Tahan lama tu bukanlah maksudnya tahan berminggu-minggu macam tu. Maksudnya bolehlah tahan semalaman tanpa dimasukkan dalam fridge. Gitu.

1. Untuk nasi, basuh beras bersih-bersih sampai air warna putih. Selain nasi jadi tahan lama, arwah tok saudara  aku pernah bagitahu ni tips dia untuk awet muda. Tapi serius, arwah memang awet muda.

2. Masa nak serve makanan tu, make sure semua bekas-bekas tu betul-betul kering sebelum letak makanan dalam tu.

3. Lepas masak jangan terus tutup kuali/periuk. Bagi asap-asap tu reda dulu ehehe. Maaflah, tak reti nak buat ayat macam mana 😬

4. Tumis bahan-bahan kisar (contoh: bawang putih, halia, bawang merah, cili boh) lama sikit.

5. Jangan campur-campur senduk.

Tu je yang teringat buat masa ni. Tadi rasa-rasa macam banyak, rupanya lima je ke?  😂😂😂 Tengoklah, kalau ada lagi nanti aku tambah lagi.

Nampak Baik vs Jadi Baik

Something to ponder:

1.Kalau nak NAMPAK baik, kita akan suka bagi nasihat.

2. Kalau nak JADI baik, kita akan suka dengar nasihat.

Bukanlah tak bagus bagi nasihat pada orang lain, tapi pada masa yang sama kalau kita tak suka orang tegur salah kita / nasihatkan kita, maksudnya kita tergolong golongan yang pertama tadi.

Bank Simpanan Nasional (part II)

Actually, after all of these years of blogging, I just found out recently about this "Stat" thingy in the blogger dashboard. Rupanya kita boleh tengok blog visit kita daily, weekly, monthly. And even boleh tengok post mana yang ranked as the most-visited post.

**haha. makcik malu.

So, I noticed rupanya my post which was titled Bank Simpanan Nasional was among the most read ones. Why-lah? Seriously, ramai-ramai google Bank Simpanan Nasional tu, untuk apa ya?

Last time I talked about my personal experience to get the 3 months bank statements from BSN. Actually cerita tak habis. After blogging about my disappointment, I actually went to another branch of BSN, and surprisingly, I managed to get the statements on the spot. Of course ada charge-lah, tapi tak banyak pun, tak silap 50 cents each and they deducted from my account.

Kesimpulannya, sama macam kalau kita pergi "jabatan-jabatan tertentu", kalau kita jumpa Pegawai 1, beliau akan cakap begini begini. tapi bila kita jumpa pulak Pegawai 2, ehh, lain pulak jawapan dia. Maka jangan putus asa. Teruskan mencari jawapan sampai ke Pegawai berapa pun sampai ada jawapan yang sahih.

So, konsep yang sama lah dengan BSN ni, I guess. Pergi satu branch katanya begitu. Pergi branch lain, ehh, boleh pulak. Gitu.

So, no prejudice. Just keep looking for the answers / solutions. Walaupun macam bola ditolak ke sana ke sini. Hmm..

Times New Roman

I read an article from LinkedIn about what's not to include in a resume.
Surprisingly, one of the point is: to use new (world order) font. Such as Arial. Okay, that's fine. And then the article stated 'do not use Times New Roman as it's OUTDATED and OLD-FASHIONED' 
Which makes me feel VERY very old. During my final year report time, our supervisors and lecturers did emphasize on using the correct font which is either Arial and Times New Roman.
And how now, Times New Roman is not relevant anymore??
Sigh.
Yup. That's how an article about RESUME can spoil your day.

Walking on Eggshells

English education from Mak Limah for today..

Idiom: Walking on eggshells.

Meaning: To be overly careful in dealing with a person or situation because they get angry or offended very easily; TO TRY VERY HARD NOT TO UPSET someone or something.

.....

On a personal note, I guess the eggshells have been living with the perks of being an eggshell since forever so they might not be able to realize the pain they have caused to the people around them.

Lucky (or unlucky) them.

..Perkongsian - Petua Masuk Rumah baru..

1. Azan - Melaungkan azan ketika pertama kali masuk rumah baru. Ia juga baik bagi bangunan yang telah lama ditinggalkan dan tidak dihuni oleh sesiapa. Dalam sebuah hadis, Rasulullah s.a.w. pernah memberitahu bahawa sekiranya sesebuah bangunan (premis/rumah) itu terlalu lama dikosongkan (tanpa penghuni) ianya akan dimasuki sejenis makhluk halus (jin yg dikenali sbgai Al-'Ammar) yang suka tinggal di rumah yang tidak berpenghuni.

2. Membaca surah Al-Baqarah - Sebuah hadis yang diriwayatkan oleh Abu Hurairah r.a., Rasululuuah s.a.w. bersabda yang bermaksud; "Janganlah kamu jadikan rumahmu seperti kubur (hanya untuk tidur), sesungguhnya syaitan akan lari dari rumah yang dibacakan Surah Al-Baqarah."

3. Banyakkan Solat dan Membaca Al-Quran - Dalam sebuah hadis lain pula, Rasulullah s.a.w. juga menggalakkan agar kita memperbanyakkan solat dan membaca Al-Quran di dalam rumah atau bangunan yang baru diduduki. Baginda bersabda yang bermaksud: "Sinarilah rumahmu dengan memperbanyakkan solat dan membaca Al-Quran." (hadis riwayat Al-Baihaqi)

4. Baca Surah Yassin, Al-Fatihah dan Al-Ikhlas - Amalkan membaca surah Yassin setiap malam terutamanya 7 malam pertama anda menduduki rumah atau bangunan. Baca juga surah Al-Fatihah sebanyak satu kali, surah Al-Ikhlas 3 kali, selawat ke atas nabi sebanyak 7 kali, ayat Kursi sekali, tetapi di ayat terakhir bacalah sebanyak 7 kali.

5. Pagar Rumah Secara Islam - Perbuatan memagar rumah dengan menanam atau menggantung sesuatu di penjuru atau sudut-sudut tertentu di rumah atau bangunan yang diduduki dengan kepercayaan bahawa benda tersebut akan menjaga dan memelihara keselamatan penghuninya adalah perbuatan yang bertentangan di sisi Islam. Bagaimana pun ada cara yang dibolehkan dan digalakkan mengikut ajaran Islam. Caranya ialah dengan 'memagar rumah' dengan merenjis air Yassin di sekeliling rumah. Ikut panduan berikut: Ambil air kemudian baca surah Al-Fatihah, ayat Kursi, Surah 3 Kul (Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq dan Al-Nas). Kemudian tiup ke dalam air tersebut perlahan-lahan hingga habis nafas. Setelah itu, jirus dan renjiskan air tersebut ke setiap penjuru rumah dengan mulai dengan penjuru yang terletak di sebelah kanan dan penjuru seterusnya, mengikut arah berlawanan jarum jam

..Surah Al-Waqiah..

Prophet Muhammad said, "Whoever recites Surah al Waqiah at night would never encounter poverty."

Prophet Muhammad said, "Surah al Waqiah is the Surah (Chapter) of Wealth, so recite it and teach it to your children."

..Tips to Reduce Headache..

I read this somewhere, dah lama jugak tapi jarang sangat praktikkan. Actually article tu pasal remedies for sinus, tapi saya cuba masa sakit kepala, Alhamdulillah lega. Tapi masa breathing tu jela tak sakit.

Caranya, masa bernafas, inhale thru nose. And exhale thru mouth. Dan masa exhale kena lebih lama dari masa inhale.

Ada satu cara lagi, pun sama jugak. Masa buat je sakit kepala tu hilang, bila stop, rasa sakit balik.

Cara ni saya jumpa secara tak sengaja zaman studi dulu. Bila sakit kepala, saya urut-urut bahagian lengan (dekat dengan area siku), memang tak rasa sakit masa urut tu. Saya pernah cuba kat En Hubby, dia pun kata hilang sakit sekejap.

Bolehlah try kalau tak tahan sangat and jenis tak makan pain-killer like me :)

..Tips Murah Rezeki..

Got this useful tips this morning from Ikim.fm on the way to work - tips supaya Allah murahkan rezeki kita.

1. Bangun awal sebelum subuh
2. Jangan tinggal solat 5 waktu
3. Buat baik pada ibubapa - sentiasa memberi dan jangan berkira dengan ibubapa
4. Zakat dan sedekah

....and then I got distracted due to sudden traffic jam on the road - ada accident pulak kat depan so I wasn't focusing to the radio anymore, so I'm not sure there's a no.5.

So if anyone ada terdengar jugak, please share ye :)

All in all, the key point is - the more we give, the more Allah will give to us. Insya Allah.

..Ayam Organik..


Now that we have the choice, let's go for the healthier choice.

Saya memang seboleh-bolehnya beli ayam kat HPA for their organic chicken. But I guess the demand exceeds the supply, so most of the times, the chicken is out of stock. Frust jugak, because I totally support HPA products. And bila tak de, terpaksa jugaklah beli ayam tak organik kt pasar.

Harga:
*Harga pengedar tu maksudnya harga untuk member. Saya tak jadi member pun, tapi saya guna member number ayah saya je hehehe

Copied from HPA website:

"Ayam organik yang diternak sendiri oleh HPA ini dijamin bebas daripada vaksin kerana menggunakan herba sebagai makanannya seperti daun mambu, kunyit dan Tongkat Ali. Tanpa enzim tumbesaran, tanpa vaksin dan di sembelih mengikut tatacara syariah"

"Ayam organik atau dipanggil ayam sihat kerana pemakanannya datang dari sumber yang bersih seperti temukut, jagung, serbuk ikan dan sebagainya. Ia benar-benar bebas daripada sebarang makanan yang bercampur dengan bahan kimia. Ayam organik HPA turut diberi makan daun mambu yang cukup baik untuk kesihatan"

..Job-Hunting Tips..

Well, I'm not an expert what-so-ever, but I just feel like sharing. So, for all soon-to-be fresh graduates, I hope this will help. I'm not to talk about what skills you need to have, confidence level or tips for interview - I think you had that lecture enough.

So, the two things that fresh graduates need to equip themselves with:

1. Driving license - although most of us won't have car once we graduate, but I found it essential to have driving license, I mean, at least you are prepared to buy a car right after working for 3 months (well, since most banks need 3 months payslip and most of car dealers have free-down-payment promotion for fresh graduates).

Yes, you'll suffer for the first three month of your career but at least you don't have to worry about taking driving class or passing JPJ test at this stage of your life. So please get the license while you're still studying, before you graduate. Get a job during semester break to pay for the license fee, or whatever, figure out the way, no excuse!!

Because I once involved in employing new staff, the question my superior asked when I recommended a friend "Does she has transport?", "Does she has driving license?" and "Can she drive?". A "No" answer to each of these questions definitely decrease the chance of employment.

2. Be flexible - this one is crucial. If you can't stand being away from home sweet home, then just be prepared for the unemployment world. Do whatever it takes, , be far away from hometown on your own, rent a room even with strangers, well, just sacrifice first. Once you have the experince then most probably you can apply a job anywhere you want. Eventually.

These two reasons I always hear from those who are yet to find a job that best suit their qualification "Tak de transport" and "Jauh". Sometimes they decided to turn down a job offer just because of these two things. Sounds trivial to some of us, but believe me, some people let these trivial things stop them from what getting what they deserve.

So, in case you just googled "Job-Hunting Tips" and found this blog, good luck to you :)

..Lip Treatment That Works..

Hmm... Agak tak percaya - me reviewing a beauty product?? I even have to add another label "Beauty" for this blog hehehe.

But good things need to be shared, right?

I think I've mentioned a few times in my previous posts that I have this flaky, dried and chapped lips since - forever. Dah banyak jugak lips products yang dalam affordable range saya cuba - Vaseline, LipIce, Banana Boat, Maybelline, but nothing works :(

I even tried Clinique Vitamin C Lip Smoothie, tapi sama jugak. The applied layer akan jadi kering dan mengeringkan lagi bibir saya.

Lipstick was a big no-no for me.

Plain water memang saya minum lebih kurang 3liter satu hari, but still my lips are not improved at all. Sedih sangat and rasa give up :(

Sebelum jumpa produk yang OK ni, I tried Aloe Lip Treatment from BodyShop, but sadly, tak jalan jugak.

Tapi I dh tak tahu nak try apa lagi, so I decided nak beli jugak lagi for the second tube, but fortunately that time, the promoter at BodyShop suggested these two when she looked at my super-dry lips. So I guess I should give it a try.


Lip Care:


LipScuff:

Alhamdulillah, the LipCare works wonder on me. It moisturizes my lips well, no dried layer anymore, unlike the previous lip care products. Normally, every morning I apply Lipscuff dulu to remove the dead cells, then only apply the Lipcare. Tapi I selalu kena apply Lip Care tu, like every hour kalau duduk dalam air-cond. But that's OK, asalkan tak kering lagi. I dah try ni dalam sebulan, so far memang OK.

Since I have the worst lips problem in the world, I think whatever products that work for me would work well for others, too.

..Makang Ikang..

Untuk memulihkan semangat yang down seperti yang digambarkan di previous post, let's talk about lighter stuff, so, mari belajar bahasa Terengganu :)

I personally think that Terengganu slang is a hard slang to be spoken. Through my observation, jarang orang negeri-negeri lain would spontaneously imitate Terengganu slang, well, of course, except for the phase of 'makang ikang' where obviously the alphabet 'g' will be highly emphasized. LOL.

Normally kalau sebut negeri pantai timur, I think Kelantan slang is more famous and user-friendly kot. As a major example, peoplee would be able to pronounce "Kelate' without fail, where as for Terengganu, people would mistakenly go for "Ganu".

Yes, the correct pronunciation is "Tranung", not "Ganu". Try listen to "Kita tengok penyu telur" song by Iklim, they pronounce it as "na, na, na, na Tranung kita", not "ganu kita". And I'm pretty sure the person responsible behind the "Ganu" is Pak Nil (Aznil Nawawi) because I remember watching TV when I was 14 or 15 years young, and there was this one TV show of him coming to Terengganu and he used the word. That was the first time I ever heard of the word "Ganu".

OK. That's the first lesson. hehehe.

Apa lagi ye...Owh, do you know that 'sebutan bersabdu' is very essential to interpret the meaning of a Terengganu sentence.

Contoh:

"Ikang makang kucing".

Sebenarnya dekat perkataan 'makang' tu, kena ada sabdu sikit pada 'm' tu supaya maksudnya jadi "ikan dimakan oleh kucing" instead of "ikan makan kucing"

Adoi, I actually feel funny while writing this. Hahahaha.

Nantilah sambung lagi. Apa-apa pun, I heart Terengganu :)

P/s : Ada sesapa pernah baca "Growing Up In Terengganu" tak? I always wanted to buy that book, but always ending up buying 'more appealing' book everytime I hit the book store. Ok tak buku tu?

..Owh McDonald..

Macam kelakar pun ada. Baru je habis 'kegilaan' umat manusia beratur pagi-pagi di McD kerana penangan voucher purchase-RM6-get-free-2-big-breakfast, petang semalam dapat pulak e-mail promo (lagi) Buy 1 Free 1 Fillet-O-Fish which will on start 15/4/11.

Balik kerja semalam I drove-through McD sebab kebetulan dah janji dengan En Hubby nak belanja strawberry sundae . Jadi, mari kita siasat hehe. I tanyalah dekat kaunter masa nak bayar tu, betulke voucher tu? The counter girl suruh I tunggu kejap, dia siap tinggalkan kaunter tu pergi tanya superior dia. Alamak, beriye la pulak, not that I want to use the voucher pun, I nak tahu jek. Tapi lama lah pulak dia pergi, naik pelik I - sapa pulak ambik order kereta belakang-belakang tu. Pastu ada 2 bijik kereta bersusun belakang I, ish, tak kuasalah nak tunggu.

So I terus drove ke kaunter depan nak ambik food. Yang kelakar tu, budak kaunter belakang tadi siap datang ke depan nak bagitau yang kupon tu boleh guna, tapi kena ada facebook punya logo so kena print dari facebook blablabla... OKlah...

Balik rumah I online facebook, and found this:


"..NOT A MCDONALD'S MALAYSIA PROMOTION. IT IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN SINGAPORE.."

Moral of the story: Don't spread the rumors through e-mail so easily. Penatlah dengar rumors ni.

So now I can do them some favors to stop spreading the mails like some big deal huh.

I mean, staff McD tu sendiri pun salah infonya, apatah lagi e-mails yang entah dari mana tu.
