Finance Asia - Asia's Best Companies

This morning on the desk of Puan Seksiteri of the bg boss', i saw an invitation card to Asia's Best Companies 2008 organize by Finance Asia and JP Morgan. Next to the card was the plaque stated that our conglomerate won The Best Investor Relations (Rank 4th) after Public Bank, Digi and CIMB......

Wowweeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! at last.....my hard work paid.....The big bosses may not recognize this as my achievement, but for myself, i think that this is the best ever achievement i had for the past 4 years with this conglomerate and merely three and a half year doing IR here. I began with zero knowledge of IR and now i am confident that i have all knowledge that i should know about IR. I can managed everything on my own now....from arranging meeting, handling briefings, organizing roadshows etc....i can handle this alone.......

Thanks to my former boss Hazem and Phoebe for guiding me towards my IR career and i hope i'll become the IR person for this conglomerate in 3 years time. Wait for my return and i'll be the spoke person for this company.

CONGRATULATIONS CHE YAH!!!! U DESERVE IT!

BONUS TIME......

I received my increment and promotion letter end of July.Alhamdulillah, i got better increment as well as promotion this year. The increment was merely 15% and this made me have to pay the income tax for the first time. Adesssss.......amat tidak suka saya....rugi beb bayor income tax nih.

What i did with my increment this month was paying debt to my mom (banyaknya lagi nk kena setel...bestnya mak...cam ceti plak dia)

Last friday almost 7.00pm i received a phone call from my boss. I was at my in laws' place (my brother in laws' wedding was the day before) to help them clean up the house. Due to that, the phone was off and tak sempat la cek nak jawab call tuh. I wonder why she called me so late. Tapi malas punya pasai, i didn't return her call.

On monday, i resume my work in the office the first thing in the morning my boss called me into her room. I thought that it was nothing as we always gossip to each other. Hehehe....then she handed me that bonus letter saying that the amount of the bonus granted to me blablabla.......

Hatiku berbunga2...hehehe....this is the best bonus and increment i received since i joined this conglomerate. Thank you boss....hehehe

My plan for this very big 5 figures bonus (and large amount of EPF and income tax deduction as well...huhuhuhu.......) will be bayaq hutang, savings (large amount of it) and something for myself..a new handphone maybe....errrmmmmmm........nak chap apa eks? Lemme think of it first....or shall i get a necklace for myself? Yang mana 1 nak pilih nih? But definately bajet for raya increase this year. Bagi mak, mak mentua, pak mentua, adik2 ipaq......adessss.....panjangnyer bajet......once a year pun kan...hopefully i can manage my money well.....simpan siap2 yang nak disimpan...kendian baru spend......

I wish i could......

My colleague took over my IR role since past few months. From they day she took over, many research houses keep complaining to me with a lt of things about her. Next week will be our quarterly results release and today she is not in the office (MC katanya).

I made a move to ask our new IR Head about the invite as some of the analysts need to plan their trip for this briefing (some of them will fly from Jakarta and Singapore). He ask me to help him to send the invite out. I also told him about the complaints and he mentioned that he has some difficulties when she managed the meetings for him.

Hmmmmmm.........i feel like asking him if i could have my IR roles back as i have no problem with any Analysts/HOR/FMs and Research Houses since i've been doing this for the past 3.5 years. Should i or shouln't i?

If i told my husband about this definately i will kena tembak with him as he will say that i am toooooo kind to help peoples. Let them do.....mana bley la dear.....i can't resist when it comes to IR job....i can't stop myself to help.......adoiiiiiiiii............

Should i ask to be transferred back to IR?????

SHOULD III????
SHOULD IIIII?????????
SHOULD IIIIIIIIIII?????????????????????????????

Me Alone....

I am alone tonite as my husband left for Alor Star almost an hour ago by bus. I am here staying at Pakngah's house for a nite. Luckily he has a wifi here. Legaaaaaaaaaa.........i can blogging, updating my facebook, checking email etc222....beside i am using the empty room downstairs just for myself. Takdak sapa yang kaco.

Yesterday i went for a breastfeeding course organize by our Taska. So i will share some info with all my frends here in my blog.......hope i can finish the long write up today and publish my writing by tommorrow morning

My pregnancy......the food intake

My first trimester end with full of joy except for my muscle cramps as well as my mengidam mood for sweet things. Since preggy, I love to have chocolates & ice cream (sorry dear, u can’t stop this. It’s our baby….not me….hehehehe)

I will take ice cream and chocolates at least 2-3 times a week. Soooooo…….yummy….i cant stop taking these lovely sweet little things until today. Luckily I don’t take much sugar for my drinks. No sugar, no creamer. Just a plain milo, fruit juices without sugar. I will only take a teaspoon of sugar with my English tea. No salty food as well (lauk saya kureng garam). Since past 2 antenatal check ups my BP and sugar level are at the normal level and it surprised the doctor. Sorry yer doc…igt saya ni chomel x jaga mkn ka? Summer control….gula, garam….

Since I don’t eat a lot, just a normal 3 meals a day i.e breakfast, lunch and dinner I didn’t gained any weight. Still maintain at 82kg till my last check up. I am so happy for it as I hardly maintain my weight since past few years. Baju lama dah boleh pakai….ketat kat perut jer….marvelesssssss………hehehehe……

Peoples advice me to take balance diet with a lot of fruits, vege and dairy products and the list goes. Fruits and vege fine with me. But dairy products alahaiiiii…….i can only tahan with butter and cheese. Cow’s milk? Ayoyoyoyo…….i anak mak ok!!! Minum susu mak only.

I bought this EnfaMama Chocolate Flavoured pregnancy milk which cost me +-RM40 for half kilo of the powdered milk. At first, I mixed it with hot milo and drank it with few slices of wholemeal bread. Minutes after I finished the drink, all went down to drain. Sudah uwek laaa……I cannot tahan with the ‘lembu’ smell…..eeuuuuuu…….cannot go laaaaa………it took me a week to think what should I do with this expensive drink. So sorry dear, feel like wasting ur money. But I really can’t take it. Only soy everyday.

One day, my very super duper brilliant idea came in. I mixed the powder with soy milk, bananas and ice cubes. Blend it using my new Philips food processor, a wedding gift from my frens and wallaaaaa………a healthy ice blended for a mom-to-be to be enjoyed with her baby in her stomach. So yummy so delicious.

Actually, my eating habits changed a lot. No more asam or jeruk for me now. Tak boleh makan la plakkkkk….previously, I can’t stop myself taking those asam,jeruk, mangga muda,cermai,kedondong etc222…..i will definitely have it with garam belacan or even garam itself. Now I can’t take it at all. Rasa 1 macam la plak. I am waiting to have sugarcane in the next few weeks. I got this from my mom actually. She was carrying me while she mengidam for tebu…tebu yer…bukan ayaq tebu. Sedapnyaaaaaaa…….i can’t wait to go back and ask pak mid for some tebu grown at his backyard.

As I crave for sweet things, my hubby keep warning me not to take a lot of chocolates as he is so worry that our baby will turn chocolate after birth….(come on Papa….it is not scientifically proven…merepek ja sumer tuh…hehehehe…..). Actually, I am prohibited to take all dark coloured drink or food especially coffee and even ‘kicap’ (we called this toyu) as he is so afraid to have a dark coloured baby. (Papa…look at Mama when she was born….looks like Chinese and they said mama was an adopted Japanese baby thrown from the train…I’ll write about this later). I keep arguing about this with my beloved husband….no such thing dear….but definitely she/he will have our small little eyes.

Apa yg saya lihat pagi ini

Sejak kecil saya akan dibawa menaiki kereta ke mana2 kecuali kadangkala ke kedai berhampiran membonceng motosikal dengan arwah abah.Andainya menaiki kereta, dia akan memastikan pintu tempat duduk belakang berhampiran kami dikunci untuk mengelak kecelakaan. Semuanya akan dipastikan selamat dahulu baru dia memulakan perjalanan. Begitu juga seandainya membonceng motorsikal. Dia akan memastikan topi keledar diikat sempurna dan dia akan memastikan saya memeluk pinggang dengan kuat. Dia juga akan memastikan saya tidak tertidur ketika membonceng (abah memang paham anak dia kaki tidoq...hehehe)

Seringkali juga apabila melihat 1 keluarga beserta anak/anak2 kecil menaiki motosikal bersama membuatkan saya merungut kerana perkara ini boleh mengundang kecelakaan. Lebih membahayakan andai ada bayi kecil dalam dukungan atau anak yang tertidur di dalam raga motor. Bayangkan apa yang berlaku andainya ada kecemasan di tengah jalan. Aduhaiiiiii........kenapa mempertaruhkan nyawa anak sendiri???

Andainya rungutan didengari mak, she will keep saying this " nak buat macam mana....they can't afford to have a car like us"...jawapan mudah saya.."take a bus or taxi"...susah sikit takpa..jangan menyesal di kemudian hari.

Ada juga bapa2 yang bangang. Kenapa saya berkata bangang???? Kerana ketika memandu, mereka akan memangku anak di ribaan. Andai ada kemalangan atau anda terpaksa menekan brek kecemasan tentunya membuatkan anak terhantuk ke stereng kereta. Malang lagi andai anak anda tercampak keluar. Tolong lahhhh..........nyawa anak anda amat berharga. Seperti biasa, rungutan saya pada suami..."keta ja besaq,mahai...tapi bangang.....nak beli car seat anak pun kedekut".....Saya merayu kepada semua. Korbankanlah sedikit wang anda untuk keselamatan anak, belikan car seat untuk bayi anda. Tak mahal. Ada yang tak sampai seratus ringgit. Beli rim mehei2 ribu riban bulih plak....heran aku menesia nih....

Pagi ini di simpang jalan kawasan tempat tinggal saya berlaku lagi kejadian ini. Sepasang suami isteri sudah siap berpakaian ke pejabat menghantar anak ke rumah pengasuh mungkin, berada di tengah2 jalan untuk melintas ke arah kami. Saya rasakan mereka menyeberang dari simpang bertentangan.Si kakak duduk di tengah2 antara si ibu dan si ayah. Si adik pula terkulai di lengan si ayah di dalam raga motorsikal Bayangkan andainya tiba2 si ayah hilang kawalan, apa yang akan berlaku???? (jalan di sekitar gombak bahaya skit. pemandu loklaq.....). Tak dapat saya bayangkan. Terus ketika itu menjerit kepada suami agar berhati2 kerana mereka berada berhampiran kami....bagi saya, apa salahnya bersusah sedikit. Hantar anak dengan kereta dahulu kemudian berpatah balik tukar motor ke pejabat. Andainya tiada kereta, seeloknya si adik di pangku ibu dan si kakak duduk didepan dalam raga motor. Jangan lah mempertaruhkan nyawa anak yang tidak ternilai itu. Harta kita didunia dan akhirat.

Masih terbayang-bayang kemalangan di sungai petani beberapa bulan lalu. Kecuaian si bapa memandu kereta tanpa memastikan pintu kereta dibahagian tempat duduk belakang di kunci sempurna menyebabkan si anak berusia 18 bulan tercampak keluar. Yang lebih menyedihkan laporan di Buletin Utama menyatakan bahawa kepala anak hampir putus digilis tayar kereta si bapa. Ketika pihak hospital menyerahkan jenazah si anak yang siap dikapankan kepada si bapa kelihatan kepala si anak terkulai. Menitik air mata melihat kejadian itu.

Harapan saya agar tiada lagi kejadian-kejadian yang melibatkan kecuaian ibu bapa berlaku. Pastikan semuanya selamat sebelum anda memulakan perjalanan.

The 'OSCAR' goes toooooo.......
