Stay back & cari makan

My friends and I had to stay in the office for telecon meeting with UK from 6 pm to 12 midnight Malaysia time. None of us would want to fly to UK for a short one day meeting considering too much on our plate at this point of time to handle in office. Travelling time would be tiring and takes longer time than to be in the meeting. We packed ourselves with 2 sets of pizza for dinner and stay on to participate in the meeting. It was not 100% efficient as compared to if we physically present there. But at least we get to contribute up to 80% would be good enough.

Today, I dropped dead in the morning. My fibromialgia with paint on my left side fingers came back since the last 2 days plus intense migrane. I can't really stand the rainy and cold weather. This easily triggered the problem. Hence my GP covers me with MC today so that I can sleep more and rest more as needed.

I must admit, it is too much workload to handle which in some ways raise my stress level. October and November seems to be very busy month in the office. Many times I promise to take things easy. But with so many official appointment given to me to participate and involve in Leadership team and several capability building initiatives really creates high stress level until I am able to manage it. The term some of us use..."cari makan" sound too familiar to me.

Life journey

A week had passed. That 3 days made me reminisce my childhood memory, how I grown up to be who am I until now, the sweet & bitter experiences in life as how Allah had it planned for me. Soul searching, life role model, true happiness and the ultimate destination in life…. Indeed life is a journey.

It protrudes through my heart and soul…. It is a shocked that I was longing for a long time…. HE had made me see it true only several years ago… the detachment and the love is only for HIM. The rest is what HE had loaned me… That feeling had come and goes in this rat race world I am in. I know, deep inside me I can’t reach it out.

Thank you ALLAH for bringing me back to that moment… all my life YOU had determined my path in life. At time I was too weak to realize and to accept it. Always, I am trying to find an answer which was in fact already there in this humble little heart overshadowed with undefined and searching for the true meaning of happiness.

Barangsiapa yang berdoa pada-Ku pasti akan Aku kabulkan, barangsiapa yang memohon pada-Ku, pasti akan Aku beri, dan barangsiapa yang memohon ampun pada-Ku pasti akan Aku ampuni. (HR. Bukhari Muslim)

Ya Allah Ya Tuhan kami, Engkau lembutkan lah hati kami seluruh umat mu di muka bumi ini untuk mengabdikan diri hanya kepadaMu. Bimbinglah kami ke jalan yang lurus dan jalan yang Engkau redhai. Ampunkan lah dosa-dosa kami dan terimalah taubat kami.

Demi matahari...

Demi Matahari Dan Sinarnya Di Pagi Hari..
Demi Bulan Apabila Mengiringi..
Demi Siang Apabila Menampakkan Diri..
Demi Malam Apabila Menutupi..
Demi Langit Dan Seluruh Binaannya..
Demi Bumi Dan Semua Yang Ada Di Permukaannya..
Demi Jiwa Dan Penyempurnaannya..
Allah Mengilhami Sukma Kebaikan Dan Keburukan..
Beruntung Lah Siapa Yang Mensucikannya..
Rugi Lah Siapa Yang Mengotorinya..

Life without maid

House work is never ending and very repitetive to me. Sinking my weekend with house chores means less time for socialising and resting. We use to have a half day helper to do house cleaning but I am not very satisfied with her work. Many of my things "pecah" because her work style is so rough. I am looking for a new helper which can come twice a week and also doing ironing. Arranging to have one next week.

Yesterday another visit to Jentayu Spa to pamper myself.. The different this time is that I have to bare more than than usual during massage. It shows my deteriorating body after more than a month sans massage. Cycling do help to sweat and improve coordination. Much more work need to be done. I had enrolled myself for Celebrity Fitness Club to be opened next month just walking distance to a new mall. Keeping body and mind in synergy to keep going in life.

life goes on...

Still in the mood of raya. Full of Raya gathering at office and during weekend. Meeting old friends, new friends and relatives makes life more lively.

While the office work is tons and tons...never ending. Can't even re-distribute the work load properly. Meeting after meeting, workshop after workshop... make my blood goes upstairs when I feel so tired... Many NO coming from me. Forget about workoholic.... I am not....and struggle to get things done. Some new responsibility is given to me which I could not say NO if I want to stay in the corporate world unless I have other options.

But life goes on... and I am looking forward for weekend...cycling...

4th Anniversary & Eid Mubarak

It has been 4 years since I first blogged. Time flies…

Surely I will continue … with Anggerik Merah as long as my fingers still able to knock-knock the keyboard. And this space is my space whenever I feel like writing on anything I feel like to write… the fun, the good, the bad and the ugly side of story… But mainly about my story…

This weekend was a bit of lonely weekend for my little family. Big man went back to hometown for his freelance work & meeting since Friday night. Leaving me with lil man… We both miss him and his home cook. This home misses one energy and loudness of rattling, laughing, quarrelling as part of day to day life. I wonder how they both feel whenever I was away…

Eid is coming soon… hati dan perasaan saya masih diawang-awangan… seperti tergantung diantara akan menghilangnya Ramadhan dan akan menjelmanya Syawal… Kegembiraan menyambut Syawal tidak seperti masa-masa yang lalu sewaktu muda… Entahlah…

Untuk semua rakan – rakan bloggers yang mengenali saya sebagai Anggerik Merah atau pun secara peribadi, ingin saya menyusun jari sepuluh ini memohon ampun dan maaf dari hujung rambut hingga ke hujung kaki seandainya ada salah silap dan keterlanjuran bahasa dan ungkapan dari saya. Sebagai manusia biasa saya selalu membuat kesilapan. Semuga hati ini bersih dari dosa-dosa yang lalu.

Selamat menyambut Syawal dengan penuh kegembiraan dan selamat sampai ke kampung halaman..

Salam kasih sayang untuk semua…

Yang pergi

Dalam masa seminggu dah 2 orang saudara mara di kampung telah dipanggil oleh NYA. Kedua-duanya pergi dengan tiada meninggalkan tanda-tanda yang mendadak untuk pergi . Innalillah... semuga Allah meletakkan mereka di dalam golongan orang yang beriman. AMIN.
