Something to ponder....

Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort in your life makes all the difference....

If a drop of water falls in a lake there is no identity.But if it falls on a leaf of lotus it will shine like a pearl...so choose the best place where you would shine...

Falling down is not a defeat...defeat is when your refuse to get up... !

Never take some one for granted...Hold every person Close to your Heart, because you might wake up one day and realise that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones.

Prayer is not a spare wheel that youpull out when YOU ARE IN TROUBLE,It is a steering wheel that keeps youon the right path throughout your life

Do not look at physical appearances,they can be deceiving.Do not look at riches,For they are only temporary.Look for someone who makes you smile

My New Assignment...

Dah seminggu aku kat sini...baru ni la dapat chance nak update my about my new job...
Aku rasa standard la bila masuk tempat baru..sure rasa lain punya...aku tak tau pasal org lain...but itulah yg aku rasa...cara kerja pon lain..yg pasti i'm enjoying every bit of the advantage having a close to home office...

Too use of working according to my old boss style...which aku bleh balik at 6 but boleh kerja dari umah..kat sini macam pelik skit..everybody is soooo workaholic...not to say org2 TM tak macam tu...tapi aku rasa kat TM less pressure..bila aku nak buat style work from home tu rasa macam janggal coz these people biasanya balik lewat...even kat department aku yg tak berapa nak besar ni...aku dapat remark dari assistant kami kat sini, biasanya depa tunggu boss balik dulu...pelik...I don't believe in those things la...coz biasanya aku akan buat kerja sendiri bila assistant aku dah blah atau i'll just keep the part that need her input till next day..

Alhamdullillah boss aku yg baru ni pon baik... ex-academician.. so very the baik...very helpful.. I believe Allah answered my prayers agar dipermudahkan segala urusan kerja aku kat tempat baru ni dan I really pray that aku boleh menjalankan semua tugas yang diamanahkan ini dengan baik dan cemerlang...amin.... Aku ni category nasib baik kot...alwiz dapat boss yg OK..

Banyak benda kena belajar...for sure!!! coz aku tak pernah buat scholarship before...my experience as one of TM scholars did give me some ideas on how things run.. I'm assigned to manage a new scholarship program launched by Khazanah early this year.. The skeleton is there...too much to start with...Nasib baik aku di assign utk local scholarship...so the framework more or less the same as mine dulu...cuma being Khazanah, he expectation on the scholars is sooooooo high...sampai aku sendiri pun gerun kalau nak apply..tak macam normal scholarship...usually the company offers you scholarship & you are free to do what ever you want as long as you kept up with the minimal result requirement...but not with Khazanah scholarship...so much to be expected from you as a scholar..that is inline with the objective of the thing actually...they are trying ver hard utk lahirkan leaders that can lead the nation..which that's the role of Khazanah too kan?? This is the way they get back to the nation..

so much so...kerja sini very interesting...very rare you ging to find execs doing admin's thingy... kalau kat TM dulu, fresh grads going to be posted as Asst Mgr...ada accountability and responsibility...but not here..i guess they're supposed to be skilled assistant...i have 2 nice assistants...diorang ni pool assistant where they need to report to 4 bosses...kesian kadang2 tgk depa ni...but they're very helpful chaps...biasala budak2 muda ni rajin2...biasanya yg byk kerenah ni yg dah senior la...yg rasa dah byk experience...org yg camtu yg susah skit to work with...but Khazanah is filled with young bloods...very energetic team... OK la...very cooperative...

But i notice that it's not easy to look into something that have long been established. It might offenced some people especially if we intend to improvise the process. Being trained by my old boss with the understanding that there's no perfect process and the current process doesn't really mean it can't be improvised..maybe i was trained to be bold...but i learnt it the hard way that it has to be done in more subtle way...hehehehehe...I have crossed somebody's border.. bit explaination need to be given to my boss...nasib baik la boss aku ni understanding...i laid down my sincere intention...not to offend anybody...maybe cara aku yg salah...tak pe la...as the new person, aku kena la ngalah skit..but i'll prove to them that NO MESSING AROUND with the lady by the name of Siti Zaiton...i'll prove to them my worth...During this assignment, i'm supposed to excell and prove that i'm every bit of "cemerlang, gemilang terbilang" sorts of employee...muahahaha...nama pun talent kan????

enuf of my rambling...melepas geram la pulak...heheheheh...
nak balik...kesian Zafran...since aku start kat sini i barely balik awal cam dulu...dah la balik lambat...1st weekend (that was 2nd day after reported for duty) aku dah kena kerja...kekadang ada terselit rasa nyesal but i know there's no turning back...need to move on...this is the path that i've choosen... ;))

Frenz...
wish me well...amin....
