SALAM MAAL HIJRAH

Salam,

Yesterday 29th December 2008 was awal muharam 1430H. Dalam kalendar islam awal muharam is the new year for Muslim. Semalam hari yang amat penting untuk wa dan I believed all muslim will feel the same. Wa tutup buku lama dengan penuh kesyukuran and wa bukak pintu baru with ketaqwaan insyallah. Wa bukanlah Islamic Version sangat tapi as age is catching up perubahan itu perlu, amat perlu infact. Wa nak hari depan wa dan keluarga jadi lebih baik dari semalam itulah resolusi wa.

Alhamdullilah 1429H tahun yang werld buat wa. I concluded all my dream came true. Wa habiskan misi study wa, wa grad, I'm now a certified HR Professional, syukran. It's been 2 years that wa korbankan hujung minggu wa, korbankan cuti tahunan untuk study breaks, finally in October wa konvo with flying colors. Its a beginning of my journey. My special thanks to Capt for lending me a gud book on HR, to my boss - En Hanis without the opportunity given I'm not what I'm now, u been so supportive and most importantly my hubby coz korbankan masa jaga Aleesya masa wa sibuk buat assignment, project paper and gi study hujung minggu. Last but not least for Kak Za, Sis Setia and Cik Som yang selalu bagi wa semangat jitu.

1429H jugak wa ngan hubby dimurahkan rezeki, we both climb up the corporate ladder, rezeki Aleesya mungkin, Alhamdullilah. Tahun ni jugak we all asyik berjalan, gi Bandung, gi Kota Kinabalu, gi Kota Bharu, gi Jakarta cuti dalam negeri yang dekat-dekat pun selalu gak. Hmm apalagi yang didambakan seorg isteri kalau tak selalu bersama suami and that's what we did in 1429H we spends lots of times together.

Tapi 1429H bukan menda bahagia je yang wa face infact dalam banyak banyak tahun 1429H tahun yang banyak cabaran dalam kerjaya wa. Almaklumlah baru naik, so banyak hati yang tak senang, banyak mulut yang tak berhenti bercakap dan banyak jugak yang tak boleh duduk diam. Mula-mula dulu wa rasa sangat tak keruan, serba tak kena, buat baik pun org tak nampak kalau silap sikit jek semua org nak komen, macam-macam fitnah yang wa terima, cewah macam butak motak pulak kan? Its hurt, its really hurt - wa almost giveup but with friends around wa teruskan jugak furthermore being an HR person so bukanlah favorite sangat. That's fact whether I like it or not its a fact. My challenge was big. I have to change the culture. That's what I did for the past 1 1/2 years. Wa lobi idea wa ni tapi tak semua org boleh terima. Org lama specially, they been in their comfort zone so long, when we want to make changes they saw it as an extra work to them. Wa teruskan jugak, wa badak walau kekadang wa nangis nengok 'melayu kita' yang tak mahu berubah, 'melayu kita' yang penuh PHD, 'melayu kita' yang sangat sinikal tentang perubahan. Nasib jugak towards the ends of 1429H golongan ini sudah tidak ramai, golongan ini sudah tak banyak mulut yang paling penting golongan ini sedar wa tak main-main kalau pasal kerja. I play with the law. I play with due respect. Dan wa akan terus dengan agenda ini. Insyallah selagi yang sedikit itu bersama wa, (Man, Sharul, Capt & King) we will continue doing the right thing for the right group of people for CIKLIA DNA...our mission continues.

That's coretan of 1429H yang indah dan yang luka. Wa akan patch-up all this for this coming 1430H. Salam 1430H to all. Doa wa jugak untuk semua seperti sms Sis Setia nih, I like u know...

"Wishing all of u 12 months of SAKINAH, 52 weeks of BARAKAH, 365 days of IMAN, 8760hours of GOOD IBADAH, 525600 minutes of QANAAH and 31536000 seconds of TAQWA".

Hmm atas permintaan Anna & The King wa nak blog pasal anugerah illahi yang satu ini. There were no other best moment in our life until anugerah illahi ni jadi milik wa and hubby. In 15th October 2006 Ameera Aleesya was born. Wa and hubby bersyukur dapat memilikinya. Now she already 2years 2 months. Anna hang tentu pikir lama sangat wa nak follow ur foot step tapi lu kena ingat wa muda sket dari lu..he he he...

Tangga umah wa pun dia buat main jek..kekadang wa nak marah pun tak jadik dia boleh baca mood wa bila wa nak naik angin jek dia boleh cium muka, pipi and hidung wa hmm hilanglah terus niat wa tu tapi kekadang wa balun gak, lite lite ler kan. Once a while punishment should take place.

Bringing The Brand To Life

My ryhthm today was cold as cold as the weather out there.

In August 27-29, 2008 we were in Bali for the Managers Conference specifically designed for developing the Brand for all property under HPL Hotels & Resorts. It is the directive from corporate office that all property to send their GM and Head of Finance, HR & Sales & Marketing for this event. For our property the group consist of our GM, Man, Me and Chan. 40 Managers from 3 differents brand under the roof of HPL 'berkampung' at Hard Rock Hotel Bali. The Brand of Hard Rock, Concorde and Boutique Hotel had to be established.

The event started with the Afternoon Cocktail where we been assigned to find our partner. Guess what my partner was our Chairman - Mr Stephen Lau- tomorrow I will have hard time to introduce him to audiences. In the other side I should thanks them to pair me with Mr Lau, now only I realise he's nice, humble and easy to talk with..









Mr Stephen Lau - our chairman


Perasan tak wa sorang jek wanita melayu bertudung kat sini yet I don't feel out of place coz zaman jahiliah dulu wa dah biasa bekerja ngan org asing. U got to proof u are good to earn respect. Take your position with responsibility if u want to success - that my previous boss advise - Mr Reinhard Steffan I miss all your motivation talk.


Andrew Khoo- the guy in Red Shirt. I like his style. He Walk The Talk. He's now the GM for Concorde Singapore. When he was at Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya he had established 'customer service excellence' system in the property. To me he had make the property brand alive. Very warm, very humble and most importantly 'tak kedekut ilmu' or best said sharing is caring...

Pak Zad - Rohaizad Putih - Singaporean in white shirt - Director Of Sales & Marketing HRB. I admired he's survivor spirit. He was assigned to HRB during the bomb blast, he had hard time but his fighting spirit was something that I have to learnt. Zad thank you for sharing. When I heard your story I'm impressed.
