My Rough Week

Today is my 5th day since I got chicken pox... I'm officially on medical leave for 1 week and I'm enjoying my quarantine period at home. I'm taking this situation as the cooling off period for myself and my boss. I hope things will get better once I come back to work.

It was quite a rough week before I got to know that I got this virus..  It was started on last Tuesday where I accidentally criticize my boss on his attitude and I didn't realize that he was in that particular group chat. I don't know how to describe my feeling when I have to see him and face the damage that I had done.

When I met him, I took that moment as an opportunity for me to voice out my dissatisfaction on his attitude. I just be frank towards him. It was not only me that are not happy with his attitude, but almost 80% of his staff has the same feeling.. As usual, he don't agree with me and he started to show his authority as a boss. I just let him be.. hehe :p

After a few minutes of session with him, I managed to dig on something where I was quite shock when I got to know that all these while he don't even recognize and acknowledge my contributions. He said I was not visible enough to him and he don't see what I have done. You know how it feels like..

I'm taking it as something positive and try to improvise myself. I do realize that I have to learn to be more outspoken and show off if I want to be visible to the bosses and get the opportunity for career enhancement.

I was a bit sad in a way, as all my contributions and hard work are thrown down the drain.. even I am not a yes man person but I know what I am doing and I do my job with full of passion. Because I enjoy doing my job and I love my job. Unfortunately being someone on the backend is always been treated as less important and it's hard to move forward.

As I said, I have to take it positively and move on.. I took his challenge and I'll prove that I'll be someone better than he ever though I can be. I know that I have burned the bridge in between myself and my boss. I tried to patch up things just for the sake of making myself comfortable to work with him.

I don't feel that I have to leave the company because of that, I don't want to give up just because of that. I will still endure this journey and I know that as an employee I have the right to voice out and tell the truth. Boss is not always right and everyone has weaknesses. I admit my weaknesses and I'm trying to improve it..

For now, I just enjoy myself at home and really taking this chance to rejuvenate myself and rebuild my positive feeling towards my job. I have target in my life and I won't let it down. I understand that life is full of challenges and obstacles and that actually makes life meaningful .. 

Learn To Listen

Everyday people talking about the skill to speak and voice out their thought.. it's perfect to have that skill but, have you ever think about your skill to listen and understand the information that trying to be conveyed. Are you getting the right message if you are interjecting before people even finish their words.. can the message be delivered if you do so?

Conveying information require two way of communication, interjecting is very rude and it might deliver different interpretation and wrong message...

Allowing people to finish their words is something smart to be practised. it portrays your attitude, background and intelligent..  If you are a leader, it's something important for you to have this skill... This practice will allow you to understand the message as a whole and again it will help the speaker to feel being respected..

How would you feel if someone interjecting you when you speak.. especially when you are trying to convey important message.. how to handle this Know-It-All person?

Well, I would say, we are surrounded with Know-It-All person and they are just everywhere.. even sometimes, we don't realize that we are like that..

So observe ourselves and lets learn to listen skilfully and be someone that people adore and comfortable to talk to..

Parents Should Do For The Kids

In my previous post, I did mentioned about the 3 criteria that contributes to the success of someone in career. Let's just recap,

1. expand their social network
2. building the rapport
3. act like a professional

As I mentioned, these all are closely linked to the attitude. You know that attitude is something that build within ourselves and it developed from the childhood.

Based from what I see, family background is one of the contributor where, an educated parents will continuously motivate their child, giving proper exposure to their child and all these in directly will boost the self esteem of the kids.

Again, I'd like to emphasize on self confidence... it is the key for all.. people with high self esteem know how to carry their self and they will have the confident to talk to people and voice out their opinion.. All these are crucially important for them when they grown up and face the reality life...

That should be developed in the early stage of life.. I'm not saying that we missed the boat and we can't build it up.. yes, we can still build it and groom it at our age now..but bare in mind, if it's developed since our childhood time, it's way easier..

So, let's ...

1. Motivate our child, give enough support to them, tell them that they are doing good because it's your role to boost their confidence

2. Compliment their success even a small accomplishment that they did... because a single compliment can give thousand motivation to the kids to do more

3.  Let them play and mingle with friends because they will learn to share, tolerate and react to crisis and problem

4.  Allow them to do what they like because from there they learn and explore their talent

5. Listen when the talk as this is how they learn to voice out and speak out their opinion and in directly it helps them to think and develop their mind

6. Always give advice with reasoning for them to understand and listen to you


So as a parents, help your child today to ease their life in the future...

Wall Collage Ideas

I started to fall in love with wall collage after I saw the show house at Infiniti 3 Residence .. That is a new Condo that recently launched. Their Interior Design is very nice, simple and practical.  Here are some photos...

In fact I did google around on this as well.. and... I found this pretty and nice sample that attracts my eyes..

This wall collage looks so elegance and the color look so rich and classy..

This one is so simple but yet classy...

This is so perfect for bedroom.. so soothing ... 

If you noticed, I'm the type that not so adventures.. I like collage but not the one that looks messy and too much... for me the collage concept is great but as long as it's simple, I will like it..

This can be my reference for my future house...  wink wink.. ;)

Hasil Bosan Weekend

Last Sunday, mcm biasala as a regular activity, my mother in law & father in law ada hi-tea family meeting dekat Royal Chulan.. time for their family and sibling to get together and discuss among their family..  Sometimes, we join them..but this time, we didn't join.. My hubby just send them and I just spend my time at home..

Jarang2 dapat duduk rumah.. so sementara tggu my hubby blk tu... tgk rumah mcm dah start bosan dgn benda2 sama je sekeliling.. so terasa mcm nk ubah sikit la supaya xda la rasa bosan.. mmg my habit pon akan cepat bosan ..

so I nk share hasil2 bosan tu.. mungkin xdala seberapa pon.. tp something sekadar satisfying untuk diri sendiri..

Yg ni plak... after dah bosan tgk benda sama, i just add some greens ..supanya nampak fresh skit kan...

After dah bosan dgn byk2 souvenir atas meja tu, I have removed and tinggal dua tiga je and letak my orchid and lamp shade kat situ.

Kat sini plak..  dulu ada bulky round table .. i rimas giler tgk...makan space.. i tarik gak my hubby g 

ikea on saturday tu beli the cute little side table tu.. even xtau la nnt nk pindah mana nk letak.. tp lambat lg rumah siap..so xpa la pakai je dulu...nnt lain cite..

The Reality About Success In Career

Looking at myself I may be not so good in selling stuff. So, today I have decided to just keep that intention in my KIV list.

tutup cerita...

Hmmm.. what I'll be doing now??? .. I'll just continue my hobby to write and giving ideas about home, interior design "even I myself not so good in it and probably other that that, I may be can share about my interest, my life and anything that interesting to talk about...

As for the beginning, today I am feeling so good as there's no damage done yet to my pocket...  itu pon because I was so busy today working on web content for my company event website.. Even my contribution is very little but I feel satisfy and happy that I did something for it.

Anyway that's not the topic..  the actual topic is about career life.. it sounds serious right..

well...

After almost 6 years experience of working as an IT person, I started to feel that it is about time for me to divert from IT.. I'm thinking to take my MBA and from there I'm hoping I can go beyond IT..

Ok here is my way of looking at this..

Based from what I observed, it's so obvious that the competition in IT industry is super high. It doesn't mean that I'm giving up and resist to compete but sometimes I feel that companies nowadays are more prefer to hire people that they know, engage the vendor that has the people that they know and promote people that close to them..  I'm not saying that this is wrong... This is just my observation and my point of view..

From this, I would say social networking is the key. People don't really need a special skill to success..All that they need is to expand their social network, building the rapport and act like a professional. 

By having these 3 criteria, their life will be easy and in fact they don't really need to work so hard.. just work smart....

The questions is, does everyone can achieve this? From what I can say, these 3 criteria are not easy to achieve as it's something that linked to the attitude..  But it can be trained and groom from the beginning,,,

Grooming from the beginning means, it has to be trained since the childhood.. On my next blog I'll talk further on this based on my experience and observation..
