Wildan's Farewell...

Today is the last day for Wildan in SDBS...He has completed his 3-months internship. I was feeling a bit sad coz he's like a bro to me..we're very close..he's a good boy..I can share and talk just abt anything with him..After GHR meeting at Head Office this morning, my boss took him to Tenjin (Japanese Buffet Restaurant) at Solaris, Mont Kiara for Farewell Lunch. We arrived in Tenji at 12.30 pm and finished at 3.30 pm..hahaha..lama tu!!..mana taknya...buffet ma....besides,tunggu Mr.RO yang lambat sampai sbb sesat jalan...he came all the way from Subang Jaya.

I ate a lot of sushi and drink a lot of coconut...let me tell you that the coconut taste very nice..It was my second time at Tenji. Before this, I had a lunch with client; Ms Evelyn and Ms. Jil.

FYI, the price per head is very reasonable. It's just RM 77..reasonable coz you can eat as much as you can...if you are a big eater like me,then it's a perfect choice..I can go for 5-6 round and eat most of the dishes there...try MISO soup..it is nioe..The foods are fresh...I will bring my family to this restaurant..My mom loves Japanese/Chinese food...

Back to Wildan story, me and my boss glad to have Wildan around...he has helped us a lot for the past 3-months. Hope that he will keep in touch with us. While waiting for the next intake for a degree programme in July, he has accepted an offer from our client to work with them for another 3-months or so.

I would like to wish him best of luck!. A while ago, he did text to thank me. Wildan, if you read this, you are most welcome. Thanks for being a good friend and a good brother to me.

May our path cross again and would be glad to have you again @ SDBS in future. Plese let us know if you change your number....aits..

Good Luck Wildan...all the best to you.

ESQ 165...

Yeayyy!!!..I've got Green-Belt for my ESQ..just finished my ESQ Training 2 days ago.Thanks boss for releasing me to attend the training. I hv learned a lot from the 2-day session.Today is my rest day.Need to rejuvenate myself before I go to work tomorrow. Just to share abt ESQ..What is ESQ 165?...The ESQ I65 training programme is a model that combines spiritual, emotional and intellectual intelligence to develop and improve an individual's way of life and outlook.

The numbers 165 represent the model of character it is built on: One Value, Six Pillars of Islamic Faith (Principles) and Five Pillars of Islam an empty-glass mindset.The training starts from a small step and it is a snowball process whereby the outcome would be posessing a very strong drive a spiritual drive that we can apply in our daily activities including work.Today there are many people who are intellectuall sound and capable but are deprived of a certain level of happiness,and this caused by the absence of spiritual intelligence.

Spiritual intelligence is about awareness that is built in the human brain. It searches for meaning, and if one can find the very fundamental reason to the meaning of his or her presence,then everything he or she does or perform becomes meaningful.

The most fundamental questions of "Who am I?" and "Where am I going?" are unanswerable by most people.This creates the condition of an individual's split personality. Split personality is when a person is unable to instill spiritual values into his or her work and activities other than his/her religious rituals, and when they go to work it becomes unworthy, with no meaning and value except for the pursue of emotional and financial security. This is where the context of ESQ comes in.

When intellectual and emotional capabilities are used for spiritual purposes,based on spiritual ground and values, only then he/she show his/her utmost capabilities and potential. This programme is about combining all capabilities to get the best out of a person. Spirituality cannot be learnt through intellectual discussions, as this can only be obtained through being God concious.

The ESQ training tries to satisfy the desires of the three capabilities of an individual. In the delivery of the programme, there is never a doctrine. Every spiritual discussion, will be linked to an intellectual discussion so people can understand and accept.

I will share more on ESQ in future with my blog readers and to those interested to know more...for personal discussion,can reach me at azmah.m.yusof@gmail.com

Sinetron TV3

Currently, I am having a habit of watching Indonesian drama called Istri Untuk Suamiku..Usually I dun watch Indonesian drama but I dunno what interest me...Despite of busy schedule,I am still spend some of my time to watch this drama...the drama makes me eager to know more of the story.

The story is about a wife named Aliya who sacrifies her feelings & happiness for her family happiness. .One morning, she had vomitted and not feeling well, her MIL thot she was pregnant, unfortunately, after she went to the clinic, the doctor confirmed that she had food poisoning..she was so dissapointed and almost gave up hope..but she did not tell her MIL that she is not pregnant. After deep thinking about her MIL feelings of having a grandchild, she decided to look for another woman to marry her husband..she did that because she tought that she could not get pregnant and she wanted her MIL to be happy. Her husband, Krisna did not agree at first but he had to do it for the sake of his wife and mother. She found a woman named Reva and later told Reva her intention. Reva did not not agree but after Aliya persuaded her, she finally agreed.At first,Aliya wanted to hide the secret of her husband got married to Reva and have a child from the marriage because she pretends that she is pregnant and wanted her MIL believe that the child is hers but later her MIL found out her plans and got mad with Aliya. Her MIL refused to forgive Aliya for doing that.Aliya suffered a lot after that incident...

To tell the truth, I missed a lot of episodes of this drama and yesterday I watched the new season. In the new season, after the death of their (Aliya & Reva)husband (Krisna), both of them staying in the same house with their MIL. New role of Gunawan Sudrajat as Dr. Dimas really makes me not to miss each episode of the new season..hehe...Dr. Dimas is really something..

Tiring week....

I just came back from GVR yesterday. I conducted training for 4 nights and was so damn bz...so much under pressure rite now..I wish I can have a break for a week or two and go for a holiday to Maldives or Carribean Island...boleh??

Since we worked on Public Holiday, we were given a day off on Tuesday by our big boss,RAR...Thanks boss.

Erm,since today is the replacement of yesterday's PH for FT, I decided to go out for a date with my sweetheart. Nothing much I do today. Other than went out for a date, one important activity not to be missed; sleeping....hehe...5 days in GVR, I can't sleep at all, it was all about work..I really miss my hubby at that time. Thank God I live in a world of technology and all I have to do is to press the button and talk to him or I can just text him to say hye. Technology makes your life easy.

Life is so interesting, before this I just feel like nobody but now I feel like worth a billion dollar to my company. The trust that my superior given to me is something I have to take it seriously. It's all on my shoulder now..Every step I take is either success or failure. It's all about commitment, responsibility, and professionalism.

I would say I am very lucky to be part of Dato' Zubir's family. However, a lot of thing to be sacrifice. Time..Most of my time I have devoted to WORK. My time with hubby, family and friends becomes so limited. I called my family every one or two weeks. I did not cook for the past 2 months.only on weekends but I really appreciate my husband coz he understands me well.Thanks sayang for being a great husband to me. :)

Plan for tomorrow?. Will be going back to KL to visit parents and parents in-law.Dah lama tak jumpa cute niece, Umairah.

I need to go to bed now, extremely tired and sleepy. Will blog again tomorrow.

Moody...Moody...

No mood today...don't know why...still sad on Suki's lost :(

Saturday, January 10, 2009

Ends of Suki Life..

The moment I type this post, I still crying for Suki's lost...Suki died this afternoon...Gonna miss him...My mom cried since last nite coz she heard Suki was in terrible pain when he made a weird sound. Mom couldn't sleep at all,worrying about Suki's condition. This morning, mom attended a meeting. She went back in the afternoon and immediately looked for Suki. She was so worried since she couldn't find him in the room. Then, mom checked in the bathroom, and surpsrisingly he was there, sitting on the floor restlessly. Mom checked on him and found a spot of blood in his mouth.

Suki was supposed to have an appointment with Vet today.But, my brother who supposed to bring him to the clinic was not yet back from office. Mom called brother and asked him to bring Suki to clinic soonest possible. Upon arrival at the clinic, the vet told my brother that Suki was in critical condition due to kidney failure and there was no other way except to put Suki to sleep.Bro called mom and told her about this,with heavy heart, mom agreed to.She cried and cried..I can feel what she felt at that time coz I was the one who brought Suki into our family.Suki was the best companion to us esp when we are alone at home. The best companion in a way that he likes to be around us, to sleep near us,a friend that we can talk to.. We love Suki soo much..We are willing to do everything for him..

Mom,let Suki rest in peace. He will always in our memory.Adopt new cat?..Our love is still strong for Suki,our family is a cat lover, but for the time being,we still feel his lost, esp mom who had taken so much effort and time to ensure that Suki took the medication and proper food for the sake of his health.

Thanks so much mom for everything you did for Suki (esp Suki's bill-during his admission in the clinic)and I really am sorry coz I was not there to witness myself his last day. Thanks for taking care of him for me.

Suki,we gonna miss you... :(

Feel like crying again...buzz off.

Happy New Year

Would like to wish Nora Yusof blog's readers a "Happy New Year".

We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives, not looking for flaws, but for potential.

Family outing..

Today, me & family had an outing day at Sunway Pyramid.Basically,not all family members,only me,mom,sis and nieces...hubby went to office to finish off some work since he was away for training for a week.as for my dad and 4 brothers had their own plan.Some of you might wondering...asik asik Sunway je...hehe...am staying here ok...so,since this is the nearest place to hang out...5 mins from my house (by car) and 10-15 mins walking distance.

Our earlier plan was to go for a bowling...but when we arrived there, they had to put me & few others on the waiting list. We did not wait much longer...no way that we had to wait for 1-2 hours just to play a bowling...I suggested to them (mom,sis & nieces) to play arch.

At first, I asked my two nieces to play but all of sudden,one of my niece cancel her intention to play and I had to replace her....at the beginning, I was soo excited coz this was my first time holding the bow and arrow...but in the middle of the game, I felt tiring...want to know why?because the string that I had to pull was sooo damn tight...before I released the string, I have to make sure that I pull the string until it reaches my right eye and close the right eye to see the target before I shoot the arrow. The bow is light but the string really make me tired of pulling...haha...mmg takde bakat nak jadi pemanah kebangsaan..rasanya kalau jd tentera memanah,mmg dah mati awal2 kot...hehe

But,overall I had fun...even though the place was crowded with people on PH, we still managed to shop and dine. Back home,they dropped by at my house to hang out for a while..served them tea and pretzels that we bought in Sunway...my leg was aching...mana taknya,pakai heel...xyah ckp ler kan..saje carik pasal...

By the way, Salam Awal Muharram..Semoga hidup kita diberkati & Di Rahmati oleh Nya..Amin

Sick Suki..

I am still at my mom's house...hubby will be back home on Saturday. My leave on 30th & 31st Dec has already being approved by big boss.It is my pro-rate leave for December. I did not go anywhere today. Just helped my mom with some errands at home and playing with Suki...Talk about Suki..Suki is sick.The doctor had run some examination on his blood 2 weeks ago and he was diagnosed with a kidney disease and it was at stage 4...critical but still can be treated. My mom who is the primary custody of Suki was so sad when she was informed that Suki was diagnosed with the disease but she persuaded the doctor to do some treatment to save Suki and if possible not to put him to sleep. My mom loves Suki so much and will do anything to make sure Suki stays alive. I was in Carey Island for training when I was informed on this. Thanks mama for Suki's bills and thanks so much for taking care of him for me. Due to the kidney disease, Suki has to depend on medication and has to be vegetarian for the rest of his life..poor Suki..hope he will fully recover soon...kesian tgk Suki,botak kaki kene cucuk sane sini for blood test...buat masa sekarang ni terpaksa ulang-alik ke klinik utk treatment and undergo few test...

poor Suki..be strong!!

I am back again ... :>

Just came back from training at Carey Island,Banting. Was away from 17 Dec-23 Dec.There were wireless everywhere at the training centre but I could not access since my notebook had a problem with wireless connection. Overall the training was fun but very very tiring. Actually I was not a participant in the training but I was a facilitator for the 2 programmes held there. My job was to coordinate & observe the training and prepare a report. Being observer is only small part of my job, the scope is too big to be listed down. It's not an easy job though but I think I can handle it so far...With the guidance from my superior who has 20 years of experience in planning & development, I am very sure that I can go far in my career. This is the career that am looking for. Something challenging yet fun.

Yesterday, arrived at WSD at 8pm. Hang out with Amir & Wildan at one of the restaurant at Jln Raja Laut. Sent Wildan back to Sunway around 10pm and headed back to mom's house in Setapak. Hubby was not around..attending training outside KL for a week.
Today at the office, I prepared a report on the training and attended meeting with our consultant. I was be given full responsibility by my superior to attend to a meeting without her presence.Dah tiga kali dah haku dok attend meeting ngn consultant tanpa boss haku...but the meeting turn out very well...risau gak kan..haku bukan pernah attend meeting sblm ni except masa practical training kat Gas Malaysia dulu...masa tu selalu la attend meeting with IT Consultant.but that was 5 years ago kan...so,paham2 je la...lg2 baru plak tu...

Alhamdulillah,now I am very close with our consultant..in fact, we shared a lot of info. We helped and understand each other.... easy to work with people yang faham apa yang kita nak dan kita plak faham apa yang dia nak.
The meeting ended at 5:45 pm. Headed back home ard 6pm. Am soo tired....need some rest...will blog again tomorrow...

Le Meridien

Yesterday me & hubby used up our complimentary voucher of 2D1N at Le Meridien. Earlier plan was to use the voucher on 13 Dec,together with few other colleagues.Unfortunately,hubby could not make it on that date since he will be very bz next month.

We arrived at the hotel at 4pm..checked-in and headed to our room at Level 11,Unit 64 (1164).We took a nap for a while.Around 5:30p,we headed to KL Sentral for a walk...hubby did some shopping and he shopped for me as well..

Then,we headed back to hotel to send the items that we shopped to our room..malas nak jalan bawa barang banyak2..kalau takat satu bag takper,ni sampai 2,3 bags.. We took a train (PUTRA) to Kerinchi station and had our dinner at Seoul Garden,Plaza Pantai.It was just 5 mins away and 3 stations fr KL Sentral.The restaurant were so crowded.I guess it was because of Saturday and school holidays.We took a train back to the hotel at 10:30p.We dropped by at 7E and bought some snacks..The hotel provide the snacks bar,where u can get the snickers,cookies,and other light snacks...but guess how much the snickers cost?...RM 12...OMG..that was soo ridiculous..where we cn get it at RM 3 or less only.It's four times from the original price.

We took a tour at Level 8, where the pool is located.Snapped some pics around the pool and hotel area...Headed back to our room,took a shower and went to bed.Our leg was so aching.

Later in the morning,we had our buffet breakfast at Level 5, at 10a (shhh,terbangun lambat!)..The breakfast hours was from 6a - 10:30 a...but i was told by the waitress there that the breakfast hours would be extended until 11a on weekends.So I guess we were lucky to have more than enough time..earlier on we were rushing to the restaurant coz we thought that we would nt have enough time to have our breakfast.Then,we went up to Level 8 for a walk at the pool side.Again,snapped some pics at the pool side...xabis2 amik gambar kat pool eh?i dunno why,just like to be around the pool area...

We left the hotel at 12p..Overall,we had a nice stay at Le Meridien..If I were be given a chance to stay at the hotel again,I definitely stay again for a longer period of time.

Thanks Geline for the invitation and voucher and also to all Le Meridien staff,thanks for the outstanding hospitality and services. (I know they do not read this,it was just my personal thanks & appreciation to them).

Ohh..some of the pics at Le Meridien. (to be upload soon)

I am grateful for all the experiences I had with PwC in the last 4 years.There are so many dear and memories that I am certainly not able to list them. I would like to highlight my gratitude & sincere appreciation to the following people;

Bosses,
Thank you for the all the guidance, support, insights and help you have provided me during my tenure.

Colleagues,
Thank you and to let you know how I have enjoyed working with you for the past 4 years (or less).

Thank you all for your support,patience and friendship. You are a special group of people and I will definitely miss you.

I also would like to apologise for any wrong doings / hurt caused in my dealings with all of you. It is not my intention to do so.

The journey of 4 years has been a very inspiring one. Working with PwC would remain one of the most memorable phases of my life. May our path cross again and I wish you all well in your future endeavours.

Signing off

Fever.. :(

I had fever since 2 days ago..I did not go to a doctor,just took a B'Young supplement instead..until today,I still have not recover.My wicked sore throat had gone but now I am having flu...it's a totally bad flu...Thank God there was some medicine in the fridge from my last appt (last month) with the doctor...I took Actifed for flu and Uphamol for fever..and also Robbitussin for cough..Gosh,medicines?..yikes!! In my whole life, I like to throw away all the medicines that the doctor gave me..reason??I hate medicine and hate being sick!..

I just feel a bit worry coz I will start my new job on Monday and I need to be fit on my first day at work..but until today there is no sign that I will recover soon..hopefully those prescription I took will work out on me.

Need to go to bed...I cant stand the flu anymore..will let those pills take efffect..hopefully I will recover tomorrow..
