Go Home, now!

16 August 2012

Everyone is already in raya mood. Don't have the feeling to work anymore. Well, at least I am! haha. I didn't apply for any leave this raya. Only the force leave on Wednesday. Why? Because I'm saving my leave for my wedding! hehe. Aneway, yesterday around 4pm Mr Dennis walked around the Malaysia Region and he stopped at my place. Then he said..

Mr Dennis: Young Lady, do you have anything important to do now?

Me: Not at the moment.

Mr Dennis: Then, go home. Now. Go home. but shhh. Don't tell anyone.

Me: (Is he serious? I would really love to go home early but, I just smiled as I thought he was kidding)

Then Mr Dennis stopped by the Zhariff and Nazir's place. I saw him talked to the guys and the guys suddenly packed their things! Omg he was seriously asking people to go home!

Then he looked at me.

Mr Dennis: Young Lady, if I didn't see you pack your laptop now, I will extend your probation period.

Me: Ok boss! I go home!

So I quickly packed my bags and rushed to my car. yeay!! But then, I'm still working on the next day. Damn.

Malaysia Region Buka Puasa

 8 August 2012

Mr Dennis decided to bring all the Malaysian Region's staffs to buka puasa at Saujana Hotel. At first, we chose Famous Thai as our buka puasa restaurant but Mr Dennis insisted to treat us with a higher class dinner in a hotel. Thus, Saujana Hotel became the place. Since I have no idea where was the location, I decided to carpool with Hui Shan.

Our place. That was Razif heading towards his table.haha

The setting looks more like a malay wedding theme
This was the day when Sophia passed her last ACCA paper. Congratulations dear!

Oh, my sister also passed hers! Congratulations kak =) You are now officially an affiliate!

Thank You Emily!

Emily's salary is revised reaching up to RMX,XXX! Today, she decided to treat me, Hana and Wanee to buka puasa at Chilli's Empire!

Hana and Emily
I found it very nice of her to treat us for buka puasa. First of all, she is a Chinese! It is truly sweet of her to stay until 7.29pm to eat together with us. Second of all, we are unrelated to her. I am from the Finance Team-Malaysia Region, Wanee is from the Finance team-Consolidation while Hana is from the Business Development Team. And Emily...well...she is from the Corporate Secretarial!! Her position is actually quite at a high level. She is the Assistant Vice President II working under Miss Noor Zita. Emily has been my good friend since my first week in SDM. Despite her high position level, she always mixes with everybody regardless if you are an intern or just a personal assistant to boss. She treated everyone as equal =')

Today we ordered food like we never eat before.haha. Nafsu makan! 

Emily's - Big Mouth Bites

Wanee's - Chicken Chipotle

Hana's - Beef Bacon Burger

Mine's - Mushroom Jack Fajitas

Fajitas Side Dishes
Me and Wanee =)



The Three Angels =)
To end our savoury dishes, we ordered desserts which are Brownies Sundae and Molten Chocolate Cake.

Brownies Sundae
Molten Chocolate Cake

During the dinner, we mostly talked about working experience. Emily had quite a lot of interesting experience to share with us. We listened and listened and listened. Honestly, its never boring listening to her word of wisdom.

The best part of our conversation was when we started to touch on religious issues. Emily showed her side of the story on Christianity while we shared a few bits of the Islamic views. Its nice to see how other religion thinks about Islam and at the same time we can tell how they felt about our religion. I do not want to comment on this. I believed that Emily is a very strong Christian believer and I really hope that one day, they will be a light for her to see Islam into more depth. InsyaAllah

 Emily said to Hana: Kau nampak macam org arab. You punya mata and skin complexion mcm org arab. 

Emily said to Wanee: Kau dgn aku nampak macam org Thailand. Same2 hitam
Ahahahaha!!

Emily said to me: Aku tatau ko nampak mcm org ape. Kau sgt putih.

Adeh

SDCC Buka Puasa

2nd August 2012

Every year, Sime Darby will organized a buka puasa event held in Sime Darby Convention Centre (SDCC) near to Mont Kiara. All Sime Darby employees from every levels are invited. Being Sime Darby's staffs, my fiance and I decided to go together for this year's event. We arrived early and registered our names according to our division. My fiance was the first to arrive under the Industrial Division! (nampak sgt semangatnya nak buka puasa =P) We were given kain pelikat and kain batik each as doorgifts.

Registration Counter
Around 7 pm, my friend arrived. Her name is Fatin Filzah. She was a graduate from UiTM in the same batch as I am. She joined Sime Darby under GSC SAP Specialist Team. I had promised to give her my wedding invitation card during the buka puasa event. 

Fatin Filzah and me =)
Before the clock strikes 7.29pm, all the guests are allowed to take foods to berbuka. The were a lot of stalls with different types of foods and we went nuts thinking what to eat first! Just look at our table!

Baru first round dah penuh!
The grand hall
After maghrib prayer, we continued our journey on indulging the rest of the foods. The best menu for us was the ICE CREAM GORENG. Simply SUPERB! We loved it! At 9.30pm, we decided to head back home. I promised my fiance that I would drive back home. And I did! haha. It was super awkward to drive a Myvi. hehee. Anyway, my eyesight were getting worst. Probably my rabun malam is actually pretty bad =(



Alhamdulillah for a wonderful buka puasa event with my fiance and his friends =)

Hello

Its lunch time and I'm currently in the office. I only ate red bean bun and drank milo. I bought the bun from the KTM and surprisingly it was delicious and makes me full! Alhamdulillah.

Eh..buat ape kat KTM?

Actually I was sending Enny to ktm. She planned to take a half day off  to go to the bank to settle her loan repayment issues. So I decided to dropped by the kedai runcit to buy lunch and minyak cap kapak requested by Wanee. Ehehee. Since everybody is puasa, I had my lunch alone =( oh well, I had been used to being alone now.
But I'm trying my best not to complain!! kene bersyukur. 
Yes, be GRATEFUL.

Ya Allah,
I am so tired of going to the office doing nothing and feeling stupid all the time ='(
I can't even find a reason why I should be there in the first place if there's nothing to do while everybody went so busy working!
I'm so stressed out.

Ya Allah,
Aku mohon padaMu, Permudahkanlah jalan rezekiku,
Allow me to perform in the company,
Allow me to find happiness in the company,
Allow me to feel comfortable in the company,
And most importantly, allow me to become a great asset to the company.
I wanna be more than just a first class degree holder,
I wanna be a first class employee.

Amin YaRabbal Alamin

MOR

Monthly Operating Report. 
My team has to complete the MOR by the second week of the month. Which is.. this week. Today was a very hectic day. 7 sets of MOR need to be prepared by 5pm because Dennis requested so. I received the order to start printing at 10.30am. but at that time, I didn't know that there's a curfew for the report, so I print super slowly. After zuhur prayer, I began printing again until Sophia told me that the reports need to be ready at 5!! I looked at my watch and its already 3.30pm! and there's still a lot more to print! Both Sophia and Muhaimi joined forces to print together. Muhaimi checked the reports that I have printed and Sophia printed out attachments that I had left out. So at 5pm sharp, all 7 reports are filed up and ready to be sent out to the directors and managers.

As I type this, the clock is 6.12pm. I can't go home yet because Muhaimi wants to discuss with me about the minutes of meetings that I have prepared 2 days ago. I had never done this type of minute report before. And to be honest, I don't really understand what the meeting is all about. It's called BLG Review Meeting. During the meeting, there was a representative from Hyundai, SDAC-Ford and Land Rover each and the internal people were Mr Dennis, Hun Loong, Muhaimi and me. The meeting started when Mr Dennis raised out the issue on Land Rover's 2nd warehouse.

Then Muhaimi began with his presentation. All I think I understand is that, there is a kind of a partnership  in between BLG and the entities. It's a win-win situation. The entities must act in a way to ensure that BLG will succeed, because the success of each entities are measured by the success of BLG. The BLG project started in Feb 2011. Problems by problems were issued in the meeting based on the guideline on Muhaimi's presentation. The first issue was on KPI. The KPI is measured on the time taken for unstuffing the container from the port until it reaches the customer. BLG came out with an average KPI of 3days.

....................................................
When I was writing my blog, Muhaimi called me to discuss on the minute. Now I understood about BLG!! Let me explain to you! BLG is a company from Germany which specializes in keeping a warehouse (mcm storekeeper). They have the expertise and the best technology/system in recording the inflow and outflow of the parts. Hyundai, Ford and Land Rover inventories were previously managed by Hyundai. However, managing these multiple warehouses seems complicated when the physical stocks and in the system does not tally due to inproper management. And thats when the three motor companies decided to outsource a storekeeper to manage their warehouse. BLG contracted with the 3 companies whereby if BLG manage to make savings, the savings must be shared accordingly and if they incurred extra costs, the cost shall be bourne by the BLG itself.

The BLG project started in early 2011(January). The purpose of this meeting was to review on what BLG have done to the 3 companies whether it brings more good or bad. This meeting also recaps on any problems that the 3 companies faced. 

Err..I don't feel its necessary to write every single thing that happened in the meeting. Well, I suppose if I write more about it, you will fall asleep. haha.

And......I went home from the office at 8pm!
First time staying back. Hebat tak?
