Reminder Myself

Reminder for myself. 

Kita sering lalai. Beringat hanya pada masa diuji.

My Second Visit - Burger Byte Zizan Bandar Tasik Permaisuri

At times kene la ubah cita rasa kan tak boleh jugak hari hari makan ayam kampung masak lemak cili api segala. So we decided untuk makan kat Burger Byte, our second visit. 

........ disappointed  ........

Unlike our first visit, food yang dihanta sangat tidak memuaskan. U know for the price, it is just not worth it. Masa first time I datang, me and hubs terus fall in love. I love the chicken patty so much and hubs loves their carbonara. Seriously hampa kot. 

I wonder why susah sangat orang nak maintain the same quality. But think about it, maybe masa tu chef baru tukar ke ada problem cannot focus ke. I datang timing salah ke. Sampai air pun xda rasa. Order sirap bangung (masa first visit tu, air bandung pun sedap) tapi alahai x da rasa pulak. **sedih**

I mungkin takkan sedih kalau the price is not that expensive. I'll upload the pic later ok?

So yes, we decided tak continue makan kat sana lagi.

NEXT! 

Me and My Staff

Stress? That's common isn't? Penah terfikir tak orang dulu dulu ni kalau stress apa dorang buat? Nowadays we are lucky ada banyak benda bole buat. Pegi holiday, reading books and lots more. Tapi our commitment compared dengan orang dulu dulu pun lain. So yeah. Since i'd been transfer to KL, my work life totally change. Dulu dulu tempat lama ada banyak bos jaga so we like kuli kuli buat kerja menjadi pak turut. Skrg da upgrade sikit jadi bos bos kecik tetapi workload adalah 24 kali lebih dengan gaji yang sama. Life is a journey. well....

Being a boss is never easy. Because most of the problem is the BOSS, not like the visi misi matlamat and all. the BOSS. Here a some tips, which Im trying my level best untuk melaksanakannya. 

1. Micromanage 

In my defend, bukan I nak micromanage. Siapalah yang tambahkan kerja sendiri kan. Tapi alahai bila outcome tu mcm tak memberi impak rasa mcm baik buat sendiri lah semuanya. KAT SITU I SALAH. I SHOULD LET THEM DO IT, AND MAKE SURE THEY TAKE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS!.

" Even if you are 30% better at a task than someone who works for you, the time it takes for you to check on them every few hours, and demand approvals over trivial decisions, costs more in lost morale, passion for work, and destruction of self respect among your staff than the 30% you think you're adding - Scott Berkun "

SO LET GO!

2. Focus On Mistakes
Try untuk sentiasa positive and create a positive environment in the office. I ALWAYS, ALWAYS SMILES AND GOSIP WITH THEM. Hahaha. Always move forward. NOT GUILTY! 

3. DISMISS IDEAS
Make sure that u listen. I always listen even when im too tired to listen. Because I'd been in their shoes. To me, there's no such thing as wrong idea. Its either can be implemented or not. SIMPLE. So accept all input and access it all later. Just LISTEN.

4. Don't Keep Your Word & Dont Make Empty Promises
Well, one of the biggest keys to successful employee engagement is building TRUST. So always keep your word. I had a situation where my boss needed my staff to present on employment issues. She (my beloved staff) is very good at her work, good outcome, very fast and so on. Yes, I love her. She is one of my strength here. So, she is so not use to presenting. She never present anything in a board meeting so takut dia mmg bukan kepalang. Dia jumpa I and ask if i can replace her, for that I send her to a presentation training and still, dia belum bersedia. So, I decided to present it. But since shes so good and she know her responsibilities, she insist to present (TRY) and minta i back her up if dia salah cakap or kene Q&A. So I promise her I would. And I did. She present it well and I add a little bit. That little thing, for some people is nothing but I want to be part of her, so help. And I have nothing to lose. Instead, she loves me more.

5.  DONT TELL INAPPROPRIATE JOKE
Remember, your reputation is more important. Enough said.

6. Hold Useless Meetings
I hate it too! 

7. Dont set unrealistic Deadlines
Pls. In order to set deadlines, pls pls pls make sure it is achievable. Dont set the par to high. And communicate, have discussing before setting it. So it's agree upon.

8. Pick Favorite
Ok. Im guilty for this. I suka orang yang menyenangkan I. Sorry. I'll try to change okay? But seriously. Respect is something that you have to earn. DOT.

Okay. Time to head home. (=

Me and My Inner Strength

Wahhh, what a topic!

Semua orang tak terlepas dari melakukan dosa pada masa kini. With influence yang pelbagai dan our way of living, lagi la mcm mcm kan? So because of that, kita kene improve our inner strength! 

Masa zaman muda mudi belajar dulu, kita tak sedar all of our actions in someway akan bagi effect dalam diri kita. I'm so thankful dibesarkan dalam family yang bagi didikan agama yang cukup. So semua kesalahan lampau adalah salah sendiri dan rakan sebaya dan syaitan. Semoga Allah SWT mengampunkan semuanya. Amin.

To my muslim friends (and to myself). Jangan ingat Allah SWT pada masa susah sahaja. Belajarlah bersyukur dimasa senang juga. Sembahyang jangan tinggal, yang wajib. Tu la tiang segalanya. Im lost because I stop remembering Him and everytime in pain, I always turn back to Him. After all, He will always listen kan? 

Ok actually nak cerita pasal my workplace environment. Tempat yang agak keras dan always ada gangguan. Me myself dah few times kene tapi my boss yang perasan. I jadi pemarah and suka marah marah. Truth is also, I mmg cepat marah sebab nak semua cepat and perfect. Tapi mungkin marah yang melampau? So I nak kuatkan my inner strength dengan banyak baca Yasin. Always lepas solat amalkan baca Ayat Kursi. It turn out that; it is still not enough tau. My bos (hes good at knowing - hunting - capable of capturing things) advice me to read the Quran. 

Rendahnya diri ni bila rasa lamanya tak bukak Al-Quran. I only open it when i feel like to. Slowly I start picking up balik line by line. Alhamdulillah. I get back on track. Yes, Allah still loves me and open up my eyes. Tak susah pun nak buat, tapi we always forgot kan? Mcm we are living in this world without a purpose. I find myself at peace everytime I read Quran and I love it. I feel complete. 

Dulu masa parents suruh pegi mengaji, selalu malas. selalu fikir kenapa anak orang lain x pegi pun. tapi bila da besar gini baru realise pentingnya mengaji masa dulu. Skrg baca pun bolehlah lancar. Tgk orang lain yang parents x berkesempatan nak ajar, semuanya da umur middle 20s early 30s baru nak belajar. BUT AT LEAST THEY START! ITU YANG PENTING!

Dengan kecanggihan zaman skrg, Al-Quran pun dah ready with tajwid semua. Colorful and easier for us to baca mengikut bacaan yang sepatutnya. So should be no excuses kan? Its a reminder to myself too. Sometimes I tend to forgot tapi cepat cepat kejar balik.

And one more, berpuasa. Bila kadang rasa diri ni malas la, degil la, I puasa. Bila berpuasa, Insyaallah kita akan jaga adab, perilaku and bersabar. 

1. Mengucap 2 kalimah syahadah (In pray)

2. Solat 5 waktu

3. Berpuasa dibulan Ramadhan

4. Menunaikan Zakat

5. Naik haji (jika mampu)

Sudahkan kita tunaikan semuanya? Insyaallah. 

Yes, pegi register haji. Skrg ni waiting time lama tau. Dont wait until its too late 

(= Lets DO IT!!

Me and My Cooking Skills

Well, before kawin mmg I only reti masak food that I prefer. I love pasta so I love making it. Sebelum kawin, semua orang sibuk cakap pasal masak. Mcm mana nak kawin kalau tak reti masak ni and ada jugak yang cakap takpe lepas kawin automatic tau masak lagi lagi kalau dah ada anak!.

True enough, I mmg reti masak sikit sikit after married. And it turn out that masak is not hard after all! Cuma leceh je la nak kene masak nasi, keluarkan ayam, ikan, daging, udang, rendam mee kueh tiaw and all. But it's all fun and exciting! So whoever yang rasa tak boleh kawin sebab tak reti masak, drop it. We're GOING to SURVIVE! Intact, cleaning the house is harder.

Trick No 1:
Buy a cooking book. Mine is 1 Hari 1 Resipi. I love this book. Simpan dalam laci dekat dapur. Why I like this book? Sebab resipi dia simple. Bahan dia simple. Instruction pun simple. Elok untuk orang mcm I. Apa I buat? I akan buat satu or dua resipi and bila berjaya I akan lipat utk tanda yang I da buat. So buku ni jadi KPI masak I. Cool kan?

Trick No 2:

If your lazy or have no time. Pls make use of all the instant food. Ok I tau tak elok kan tapi for a start boleh kot. Contoh; Tepung Cucur Ikan Bilik (Delicious!) So berjinak jinak dengan ready food mcm ni, pelahan pelahan nanti lama lama Insyaallah jadi rajin. 

My husband ni fit orangnya. Always jaga his diet and exercise. So dia mmg less dinner intake, normal lunch and heavy breakfast. Breakfast like a king kan; so I didik diri sendiri untuk prepare his breakfast as simple as bagi kokocrunch and milk, ke roti telur, ke nestum, and roti garlic with mushroom soup. Kadang-kadang masak nasi goreng, burger ke, hot dog ke tapi i ready kan untuk dia. From there, I jadi makin rajin untuk ke dapur. 

Trick No 3:

Make use of your fb, blogs and everything people share! I cuba this resipi orang share share on fb. Masak Kueh Teaw KungFu. Gosh, at first rasa mcm mencabarnya sebab tak penah buatkan. Tapi lepas buat sekali, alahai at my finger tips je. Patutlah orang kedai buat cepat je. Hahaha. So everytime ada orang share resipi dekat fb, i akan share to my husband and bila nak masak je bukak balik fb. It works. Simple and yes, it works.

Trick No 4:

Pegi pasar. Go groceries shopping. Pegi amik experience. I went to Pasar Pudu twice a month. Kadang untuk beli my mil's kadang my mum. So from there (Pasar Pudu) sikit sikit develop minat i nak masak. Barang dia murah so I beli la mcm mcm udang la sotong la sayur mcm mcm. Buah lagi. Balik masak. Bila tgk barang murah, and u beli semua mesti u balik kene masak mcm ada needs utk masak sbb dah beli.

p/s: Husband pun kene la rajin memuji and motivate the wife. My hubs rajin masuk dapur untuk usha usha apa I buat and dia yang akan rasa (manis ke masin ke masam ke pahit ke tak cukup garam ke). 

(= Lets try?

Cyst Detected. Me and My Breast Ultrasound.

For the past month, I'd been delaying untuk buat checkup for my breast. I found a lump at my armpit which to me nampak tak normal and sakit when i press. So I start googling and baca symptoms breast cancer, either occur tak at my condition. Still, I need to confirm because I have no idea that particular lump is a cancer or just a fat. For that reasons, I came across bloggers diarihatianaa.blogspot.com who shared her experience in handing the same situation. There are 2 ways to find out samada Mammogram or ultrasound. After reading hers, I decided to skip checking at Klinik Kesihatan (KK) and straight buat Breast Ultrasound. 

Dekat Pride Foundation's web ada full list of place yang equipped dengan Mammogram and Ultrasound. List for KL as per below: (im just sharing)

I called up only 3 place. 

1. Pantai Cheras Medical Centre - In order untuk buat breast ultrasound, I need a reference letter for any doctor (government or private) which I dont have. 

2. KPJ Damansara - I read reviews from the earlier mentioned blog, the price is RM120 for both breast and I dont need any reference letter. Walk in and no appointment needed unless you need a consultation from a breast surgeon. 

3. BP Clinical Lab Cheras - They also x perlukan reference letter, price RM150 for ultrasound breasts and on that particular time, the lady only available after 2pm. (I requested a lady) 

After thinking, I decided utk pegi KPJ Damansara. Parking mmg a problem. Anyhow, the service is very fast. I been called only after 2 minutes I duduk. So the lady (very nice beautiful lady, seriously! she's 31 but looks 21!) bagi briefing sikit on how it will be done and all. Around 20-30 minutes, habis check. 

And because I tak amik consultation, so i just waited for the report. Tapi I rasa report tu understandable. Takdala nak kene ada doctor baca baru faham ke. Both of my breast normal cuma ada cyst on my right breast. A small one. At first i sangat takut like kene operate ke apa ni. Maybe because I'd been googling only on cancer so i have little knowledge on cyst (in fact nothing).

Drive back to office; did my homework (googling) and LEGAAAA! "Breast cysts don't require treatment unless a cyst is large and painful or otherwise uncomfortable"

What lesson that I learned? 

I sangat takut. Like crazily scared untuk buat checkup. So my husband pujuk pujuk pujuk pun I tetap takut. I give myself time untuk tenang and fikir banyak benda. What if Yes, What if No. So jumpa my Dr friend and seek her advice. So dia draw diagram (like above-my version) and let me decide. After 2 weeks, I decided to do the test selepas i sakit pegi jogging. 

I rasa takut is normal. But somehow we have to overcome it. Make yourself understand why you need to do it. 

Now i feel relief (Seriously!) and everytime I rasa sakit, I know its not a cancer. 

(= Alhamdulillah.
