Wisdom from the heart

Image
Last Saturday, Danone Dumex Malaysia have launched its new real time interactive website specifically for Malaysian mums. Motherhood is quite challenging journey which sometimes we do need some sort of support from other person. As each  pregnancy and each kids are different, even myself who already have three kids still have some questions during pregnancy, labour and toddlerhood. Sometimes these questions come at unexpected time such as midnight or very early morning, for sure at that time we could not call our 'talian hayat' (mom or bff) for consultation. Fortunately, Danone Dumex (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (Danone Dumex) have its Dumex Mama Club at  http://www.dumex.com.my/  as a real-time interactive website where we could get access to other mothers' real experiences and wisdom through an on-line community. Furthermore, it is supported by Dumex Careline Advisors and healthcare professionals so that mum get the right support, guidance and more importantly, reassurance thro...

idle man is dead man

the past few weeks have been extra hectic for me... being it my personal life or my work life,.... the level of hectic is almost the same... hubby was outstation for several quite long stretches and the kids were extra "good" during those times.... it was a  tough training of patience for me... then the kids got sick one after another.... fever, fever and fever... may Allah bless us more by getting us to endure these small sickness... the works was never ending as usual and i was trying very hard to control my stress level....eat  a lot of delicious food.... and now feel likes gaining a little bit of weight hahahhaa..... but I am grateful for this hectic-ness.... it means I am still alive, I am still have family, I am still have some works, I am still can contribute to others. The only idle man are those who are dead. If you found me sort of idling somewhere, fyi, I am not idling, I am just taking a breather ;)

Top 20 skills you need to develop your career

Image
The below 20 skills are not only for those who are applying for a job, but can be use by those who are already working...  The most interesting point for me is the 20th skill...programming... why everyone should be having programming skill?? Actually is not much about the ability to write a program in a specific language, but the main thing that I have learnt during programming is how to write or transform some steps clearly to achieve the objective. This is very important in our daily life as ambiguous steps will lead to ambiguous result. Hazy steps = Hazy results. Clear steps = Clear results. So from the 20 skills below, which one resonates to you the most?

I was fasting today.... and stay at home since my not-so-baby-anymore daughter was having high fever... she was extra cranky and want her mom to cuddle her while she is sleeping... cuddle a hot kid while you are fasting and the weather is haze (which means I could not open the window and the house getting hotter inside)... aaarrrgggghhh dugaan sungguh... i was sweating all the time... there goes the sweat-that-supposed-to-go-out-during-exercise, so I do not need to exercise anymore... hahahha i could not imagine if during Ramadhan it is still hazy.... there goes in the smoke my daily trip to bazaar ramadhan.... pfffttt..... not good not good not good... so please pray for the rain to come and wash down the smoke (if wash away, other people will get it)... need to remind myself, family and friends to ...

my mom is reading a novel ;)

Image
My mom reads a lot. But reading a novel is a rarity. So I was quite surprised when she borrowed the novel below from her friend          Suami Aku Ustaz Or is it due to the hype of many novels in Malaysia now is being transformed to movies or dramas on television? The drama series of "Suami Aku Ustaz" is in progress of shooting, if I am not mistaken, with Adi Putra and Nora Danish as the main character. Anyway, I took the opportunity to read that novel. However, I will only give 3 stars out of 5 as it is not 100% engaging. I fully read the first 50 pages then became bored so I read the few last chapters. Okey happy ending but with some twists so I read a few of the before-near-the-end chapters, and voila... get the full story. Hopefully the drama series will be more compact and engaging. Will make the audience to stay and see the whole series. So have to wait and see :)
