How to Be a GREAT Friend

Friends are people who we trust and love dearly. To create better friendships, we have to be willing to put in much effort to build that friendship. Treat them the same way we would like them to treat us. With a little adjustment here and there we can create some long lasting relationships with our friends.

Friendship is not about finding the right person, but creating the right relationship. It’s not how much you care in the beginning, but how much you care till the end!

Instructions

Step1: Encouragement is probably one thing that all friendships need, regardless to whether they're new or old. We all have people in life that are quick to point out our flaws, faults, and failures. Being a great friend means believing in people, sometimes even when no one else does.

Step2: Spend quality time with your friends. We all have busy lives, but to maintain and develop a friendship requires at least some amount of quality time. In some instances, physical time together isn't possible, which is where the Internet comes in handy. In local situations however, the Internet, text messaging, etc. should not become a crutch in your friendship.

Step3: Whenever possible, make it a point to be there for your friends through both celebrations and difficult situations. It's easy to be a friend to someone when everything is going great for him or her. True friendship however is being there for people when challenges hit them.

Step4: Be very patient, forgiving, and respectful of friends. No one is perfect, and even the best of friends aren't going to agree on everything. Obviously don't tolerate situations where you're being purposely taken advantage of or hurt (that's not a friend), but try to talk through normal situations where your friend isn't doing something on purpose. Also be willing to say you're sorry when you're the person who does something wrong. Remember that in many cases it's better to preserve a relationship than to be "right" all the time

Things you’ll need:

The desire to be a great friend, making your friendships solid and rich.

Bad Day

Yeah. That's only what I can say for today.

From the time I woke up in the morning everything seems normal until i sent one office email at 11.56AM, everything started to change after i got below reply:

"Razali,

Should we fill up your form?? Site was completed and we have declared at WAR ROOM instead.

Can somebody advice what is “WAR ROOM FUNCTIONALITY”.....

Lets reduce paper work.... "

The first word escaped from my mouth was "SHIT!". Dlm otak aku pk, aku ada buat salah ke? And... yeah..., I've accidentally put together an old thing that was ealier solved before I'm joining the company.

However, thanx to my boss, Wan. He saved me from my 1st big mistake (I guess) and continue to calm me down.

"Salam Afize,

I would recommend for the Integrated site, CME personnel to proceed with the NRA request form as usual. For RFS site (the mentioned list) , that have been closed quite sometimes ago, no need to fill up the NRA CME request form.

Rgds"

After the mail sent from my boss, there was still two unwanted mails flying over to my inbox and it was ignored by me (although my heart was hurt wawawawawawa....).

In the evening, ada plak salah faham with my important person and it was drag on until I make a call with 3 words (dah balik dah?) at 23:14pm with nothing wrong intonation but not sure whether the issues solved. Hopefully it will be cleared as soon as possible.

Walaupun cuma dua benda nie jer yg berlaku, it really make me sicks!

Sepi Bersama

Sepi sendiri itu lebih baik daripada sepi bersama.

Sepi bersama...? Hmmm....

"Bersama tapi sepi. Bersama tapi jauh menyepi. Dekat tapi jauh. Sejarak pendengaran berbisik, tapi terjarak sejauh mata mampu memandang. Bersama tapi terpisah."

Live Life

Apa yang berlaku seharian, nielah yg dikatakan kehidupan. It just a matter of how well we can manage ourself... Kehidupan nie adalah anugerah terbesar Allah kpd kita semua - pirate_kl

New Air New Friends New Environment New Me

It has been a quite long time I’ve not update anything here. Not because of the time that I’m used to and I bet you that I have no reason for that. I really don’t have the reason except… hmmm… IDEAS… IDEAS… IDEAS… But tonight I’ve made up my mind to just let my finger do his job to write whatever he wants to.

And this is the beginning of all…

Since May, there are so many thing happened around me. Ahh... yess... of course… I’m no longer with Maxis. This is the biggest thing happened to me after few years. It’s the hardest decision but I’ve made up my mind to just say bye-bye to step to another level of my career. The lucky Me was happily reporting to my new boss (now x-boss already hehehe) at Maxis Sunway Annexe (Next to Sunway Club) on 4th April 2005 and on the 12th September 2008, the 12 days of fasting month, I’ve stepped out from the Maxis, Plaza Sentral.

“Dear Friends,

Today will be my last day in Maxis and it has been a wonderful three years and five months with the company. Leaving Maxis is the hardest decision that I have made. I truly enjoyed the experience that I have gained throughout the years.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your kind gestures in whatever capacity that we had worked before or encountered. I would also like to ask for forgiveness if my actions had somehow offended anyone.

Especially to TNE, MP, MSEP, CPC, NE, NCM Radio and Switch, and SFD-BSSD

And special thanks to Barak and Kak Siti Azriah for the opportunity given to join the Work Order Team on 4th April 2005 and to gain so much knowledge here.

Finally, good luck to everyone of you”

15th September 2008, this is the 1st day I’m stepped into the new area, new environment, new air, and into the new company, Sapura Secured Technology, Wangsa Maju. This is the decision I’ve made, and I determined to challenge myself to absorb, to learn, to do anything and to free the potential that I believes still flying inside me. This is the new brand me in Sapura.

I think, it is enough sharing for the time being. I will be back to update again tomorrow. Arrghh… sleepy me….

Ketika dia diulit mimpi

Pernahkah anda menatap wajah orang-orang yang anda sayang ketika mereka sedang tidur? Kalau belum, cubalah sekali saja menatap mereka saat sedang tidur. Saat itu yang nampak adalah ekspresi paling wajar dan paling jujur dari seseorang. Seorang artis yang ketika di panggung begitu cantik dan gemerlap pun akan tampak polos dan jauh berbeza jika dia sedang tidur. Orang yang paling kejam di dunia pun jika dia sudah tidur tak akan kelihatan wajah bengisnya.

Perhatikanlah ayah anda saat beliau sedang tidur.

Sedarilah, betapa badan yang dulu kuat dan gagah itu kini semakin tua dan lemah, betapa rambut-rambut putih mulai menghiasi kepalanya, betapa kerut merut mulai terpahat di wajahnya. Orang inilah yang tiap hari bekerja keras untuk kesejahteraan kita, anak-anaknya. Orang inilah, rela melakukan apa saja asal perut kita kenyang dan pendidikan kita lancar. Sekarang, beralihlah. …

Lihatlah ibu anda….

Hmm… kulitnya mulai keriput dan tangan yang dulu halus membelai - belai tubuh bayi kita itu kini kasar kerana menempuhi kehidupan yang mencabar demi kita. Orang inilah yang tiap hari menguruskan keperluan kita. Orang inilah yang paling rajin mengingatkan dan membebeli kita semata- mata kerana rasa kasih dan sayang, dan sayangnya, itu sering kita salah ertikan. Cubalah menatap wajah orang-orang yang kita cintai.. sayangi itu…

Ayah, Ibu, Suami, Isteri, Kakak, Adik, Anak, Sahabat, Semuanya…

Rasakanlah sensasi yang timbul sesudahnya. Rasakanlah energi cinta yang mengalir perlahan-lahan saat menatap wajah mereka yang terlelap itu. Rasakanlah getaran cinta yang mengalir deras ketika mengingat betapa banyaknya pengorbanan yang telah dilakukan orang-orang itu untuk kebahagiaan anda. Pengorbanan yang kadang-kadang tertutupi oleh salah faham kecil yang entah kenapa selalu saja nampak besar.

Secara ajaib Tuhan mengatur agar pengorbanan itu akan tampak lagi melalui wajah-wajah jujur mereka saat sedang tidur. Pengorbanan yang kadang melelahkan serta memenatkan mereka namun enggan mereka ungkapkan. Dan ekspresi wajah ketika tidur pun membantu untuk mengungkap segalanya.

Tanpa kata, tanpa suara dia berkata… “Betapa lelahnya.. penatnya aku hari ini”. Dan penyebab lelah dan penat itu? Untuk siapa dia berpenat lelah tak lain adalah KITA. Suami yang bekerja keras mencari nafkah, isteri yang bekerja keras mengurus dan mendidik anak, juga rumah. Kakak, adik, anak, dan sahabat yang telah menemani hari-hari suka dan duka bersama kita. Resapilah kenangan-kenangan manis dan pahit yang pernah terjadi dengan menatap wajah-wajah mereka. Rasakanlah betapa kebahagiaan dan rasa terharu seketika menerpa jika mengingat itu semua.

Bayangkanlah apa yang akan terjadi jika esok mereka “orang-orang terkasih itu” tak lagi membuka matanya, untuk selamanya …

"Apabila manusia gagal mencintai Tuhannya, maka cinta sejati tidak akan ditemuinya."

Tips: Interview Skills you Absolutely Need

1. Listen

Listen, Listen, Listen. Listening is not just hearing. You have to listen for the tone, the implied meaning and in some cases even the expected answer. Many times in interviews I conduct, I have to stop the candidate and tell him again what is that I asked. For e.g. “tell me about you” is a simple enough thing to do and yet I see interviewees answering this by talking about the parent’s professions, the sibling’s education or even about their alma mater.

Listen.

2. Know

Can knowing be quantified as a skill? I think so. What do you need to know?
The company, the hotel/unit, the interviewer, the kind of questions asked, the secretary’s name, the designation you applied for, your expectations, the list is long. I have been shocked by people asking me my name after the interview.

Know.

3. Communicate

You think its simple, don’t you? I wish it was. I ask people what they are looking for and they tell me an opportunity. So I ask them what is the salary they are looking for, and they say anything. So I offer a job, but no salary and suddenly they start saying ‘no… no sir that is not what I meant’. If you don’t mean that, don’t say it.

Communicate your candidature.
Communicate your strengths
Communicate your expertise
Communicate your willingness, your enthusiasm and
Communicate your expectations

Communicate
