A caring hand that is needed

Few months back, in the news reported a family in KK
whom have been able to keep their maid working for them
diligently for more than 25 years!!!

That's a big WOW! O.O

I wonder how did they do it?? -.-@

********

It's not easy to keep a maid.

It's not that easy to find a maid and it's difficult
to find a good maid.

But it's very difficult to retain a good maid.

My maid has been coming and going for various known
and unknown reason. Fingers can be pointed to anyone,
but the end point is my family is in need of extra hand
to manage things in the house especially our child.

Now (recently) we got our 6th maid and I'm determine to keep
this one with my best care as employer ^.^

The BIG question is; how to be a good employer effectively?

How to be able to keep a maid servicing your family at best,
in a win-win situation.

Now, that's hard.

How did you do it people?

Wifey send me this article and I think it's a valuable sharing.
It's a bit long though and in Malay/Indonesian language.

TIPS Menggaji Pembantu Rumah Indonesia
03 Feb 2009

Merapatkan jurang budaya di antara dua benua dan persehaman antara dua darjat adalah suatu tugas yang amat sukar. Namun toleransi dan persefahaman mampu meredakan tegangan. Tips-tips di bawah mungkin boleh membantu anda bagi memahami pembantu dan mengurangkan jurang persefahaman terutama dalam tempoh penyesuaian di tahun pertama.

1) Benarkan pembantu menghubungi keluarga di Indonesia apabila tiba memulakan kerja dirumah majikan. Kod panggilan murah Celcom 1310062xxxxxx Maxis 1320062xxxx. Digi 0062... Biasanya hp bermula dengan 8xxx . jika nombor yang diberikan bermula 08xx, abaikan 0. Contoh : 081375869008 ditukar kepada 132006281375869008 . Kod Indonesia ialah 0062 jika menggunakan Ring-Ring Card.

2) Pastikan makanan ruji (nasi) yang mencukupi untuk pembantu. Majikan selalu mengharapkan pembantu membuat seperti rumah sendiri. Sebaliknya pembantu biasanya segan untuk makan apa lagi dengan kehadiran majikan. Bertanyalah sekiranya pembantu belum makan dan suruhlah mereka makan dan rehat walaupun kadang-kadang mereka segan.

3) Pastikan rehat dan tidur yang mencukupi untuk pembantu. Pembantu biasanya segan untuk berehat dengan kehadiran majikan.Waktu bekerja yang lazim 5.30 am hingga 10.00 pm. Rehat sewajarnya dalam tempoh itu.

4) Cuti sehari seminggu seperti peraturan imigresen boleh diganti dengan bayaran ganjaran sewajarnya oleh majikan seperti pemberian bonus pada akhir tahun atau cuti bergaji penuh pada akhir tahun. (misalnya pembantu balik bercuti awal sebulan daripada tamat kontrak).

5) Majikan sebaiknya jangan membawa masalah dan tekanan ditempat kerja ke rumah sehingga bertindak kasar dengan pembantu kerana masalah di tempat kerja.

6) Pembantu adalah manusia biasa yang bersosial. Jangan menyisihkan pembantu dan anggap mereka sebahagian keluarga yang harmoni. Jika membeli jajan, jangan hanya dibeli untuk kita sekeluarga sahaja. Beri mereka makan apa yang kita makan. Jangan sampai kita kenyang mereka lapar, kita gembira mereka bersedih, kita makan mereka lihat sahaja.

7) Jangan mudah menengking dan meninggikan suara jika pembantu membuat kesalahan. Pembantu mungkin sensitif tetapi memendam rasa. Mereka manusia biasa yang ada perasaan dan perlu dihormati sebagai pekerja. Ajari dan teguri secara berhemah.

8) Selalu bertanya keperluan asas mereka seperti perubatan, ubat dan berus gigi, sabun, tuala wanita dan lain-lain. Mereka mungkin segan untuk memberitahu majikan. Jangan sampai sehingga mereka mencuri guna barang majikan. Perbelanjaan keperluan asas, perubatan dan urusan permit mereka adalah tanggunggan majikan.

9) Pastikan pembantu tidak terlalu bebas. Pantau pergaulan sesama mereka mungkin mereka selalu bercakap perkara buruk tentang majikan dan membanding-banding. Tidak digalakkan pembantu memiliki handphone kecuali dirasakan sangat perlu. Awasi penggunaan dan bil telefon rumah anda.

10) Awasi pembantu sekiranya terdapat pekerja Indonesia yang berhampiran biasanya pekerja kontrak. Pembantu boleh cepat terpengaruh dengan pujukan lelaki. Jangan mudah percaya jika pembantu mungkin menyatakan mereka adalah saudara terdekat.

11) Awasi jika ada sindiket yang mendekati pembantu menawarkan pendapatan yang lumayan, memujuk pembantu melarikan diri.

12) Keinginan untuk bersosial dan seks adalah naluri biasa manusia, namun pantau agar ianya berada di landasan yang dibenarkan. Jangan sampai tindakan mereka melampaui batas seperti bergaul atau berkhalwat .

13) Jangan terlalu percaya kepada pernyataan pembantu rumah. Pembantu mungkin tidak bercakap benar demi menyembunyikan kesilapan dan kelemahan kerana mungkin takut kepada majikan.

14) Jangan menimbulkan kesangsian yang sembarangan kepada pembantu kerana ia akan menimbulkan ketidakselesaan untuk pembantu bertugas seterusnya. Sediakan bukti yang kukuh jika terdapat kes-kes kehilangan barang atau kes-kes lain.

15) Simpan passport dan buku bank pembantu ditempat yang selamat jangan sampai diambil oleh mereka. Passport jatuh ke tangan pembantu adalah peluang untuk berlakunya kes lari.

16) Majikan perlu membuka akaun bank, disarankan nama bersama majikan dan salah satu untuk transaksi. Tunjukkan resit kemasukan duit pada setiap bulan.

17) Jika pembantu menyatakan keinginan untuk pulang ke Indonesia kerana sebab-sebab yang dinyatakan, awasi, mungkin dia mempunyai masalah lain dengan majikan dan tidak akan kembali lagi.

18) Jika perlu pegang gaji pembantu sekitar 3 bulan gaji untuk mengelakkan kes-kes lari. Kadang-kadang pembantu memerlukan pinjaman daripada majikan untuk dihantar ke Indonesia, bersederhanalah dalam menghulurkan pinjaman tersebut.

19) Kebanyakan pembantu adalah daripada golongan miskin dan perantau mencari rezeki yang halal. Berlebih kuranglah dalam urusan kewangan dengan mereka, jangan terlalu berkira, semoga kita dimurahkan rezeki oleh Allah.

20) Pembantu anda adalah manusia yang unik sifat-sifat dan kebolehan masing-masing. Elakkan membanding-bandingkankan dengan pembantu sebelumnya atau pembantu orang lain yang lebih baik. Jangan terlalu memikirkan sikap buruk pembantu sebaliknya hargai sikap baik mereka dan manafaat yang kita perolehi. Terlalu memikirkan dan memperhatikan kelemahan tanpa memperbetulkannya hanya akan menambahkan masalah rumahtangga.

21) Pembantu biasanya adalah golongan yang kurang berpendidikan dan taraf sosio ekonominya rendah. Majikan harus faham keupayaan pembantu dan janganlah mengharapkan sesuatu yang melebihi kemampuan pembantu. Tatacara bekerja disetiap rumah juga adalah berbeza.Ajari pembantu dengan jelas dan sabar. Kadang-kadang pembantu perlu diajar berulang-ulang tentang sesuatu perkara.

22) Jangan memberi kepercayaan 100% kepada pembantu tentang perkara yang kritikal seperti keselamatan. Contohnya anda perlu sekali-sekala memantau adakah pintu atau pagar telah dikunci sebelum pergi tidur, penjagaan barangan elektrik dan aspek-aspek keselamatan lain.

23) Setengah pembantu kurang memahami bahasa Melayu terutama daripada Jawa. Kadang-kadang mereka kurang memahami arahan majikan dan istilah bahasa Malaysia tetapi takut untuk bertanya. Semasa komunikasi bagi mengelakkan salah faham.

24) Ajari pembantu tentang budaya kita Malaysia dan fahami perbezaan budaya mereka. Pegangan agama mereka kadang-kadang lebih longgar. Tunjukkan cara berpakaian yang sopan dan beli pakaian yang sesuai untuk mereka jika perlu. Awasi jika ada pengamalan tahyul dan syirik atau merokok.

25) Awasi tahap kebersihan dan ajari langkah keselamatan terutama dalam penggunaan barangan elektrik jika perlu. Setengah rumah pembantu di Indonesia tidak berelektrik. Awasi pintu kereta yang selalunya tidak bertutup rapat.

26) Jangan mendera secara fizikal,emosi atau mencabul, ia boleh memudaratkan majikan sekiranya laporan dibuat kepada konsulat atau polis.Penggunaan bahasa kesat dan ugutan oleh majikan adalah contoh penderaan emosi yang sering berlaku.

27) Jangan terlalu memandang rendah kepada mereka kerana kita memerlukan khidmat mereka. Anggap mereka sebagai pembantu dan bukan orang suruhan. Jangan menghina atau memperli bangsa mereka dihadapan mereka kerana ini akan menimbulkan kebencian mereka kepada kita.

28) Jangan meninggalkan kotoran peribadi seperti tuala wanita yang sudah dipakai untuk diuruskan pembantu. Pembantu mungkin merasakan kehinaan.

29) Jika boleh ajak pembantu makan bersama kita. Ini boleh mengeratkan perhubungan dan mempastikan beliau tidak memasukkan ramuan tambahan berupa ubat pengasih atau ubat penunduk dalam makanan. Kepercayaan tahyul amat berleluasa di setengah kawasan di Indonesia.

30) Layan pembantu dengan baik seperti mana kita mahu majikan kita berlaku baik kepada kita. Keseronakan mereka bekerja dan berkhidmat dengan kita harus dipupuk supaya majikan dan pembantu sentiasa mempunyai hubungan yang baik ,balasannya kita akan rasa anak-anak dan hartabenda kita sentiasa selamat .

31) Pembantu mungkin terasa tersinggung dengan kata-kata kesat anak-anak kita walaupun masih kecil. Pembantu mungkin tidak berani menegur anak-anak sebaliknya memendam rasa. Tegur anak-anak jika perlu. Pembantu juga mempunyai hak perlindungan daripada majikan sepertimana anak-anak berhak mendapat perlindungan.

32) Barang berharga seperti barang kemas harus disimpan dengan baik bagi mengelakkan kes kecurian. Jika pembantu hendak pulang sebaiknya periksa beg pembantu dan barang simpanan kita sebagai langkah keselamatan jika dirasakan perlu. Jangan terlalu percaya walaupun pada zahirnya pembantu nampak baik dan alim. Jangan pula terlalu mencurigai sehingga menimbulkan rasa tidak selesa bagi pembantu.

33) Anda tidak perlu menguji kejujuran pembantu, kebanyakan mereka adalah tidak jujur. Bayangkan mereka adalah daripada golongan bawahan dan anda perlu mengakui banyak kelemahan mereka.

34) Majikan tidak digalakkan memberi pelepasan cuti pembantu dan bermalam ditempat lain. Rancang cuti bersama pembantu atau tinggalkan pembantu dirumah saudara terdekat jika perlu. Pergaulan pembantu yang luas biasanya mengundang masalah.

35) Pemberian hadiah adalah kaedah terbaik dalam memupuk kemesraan dan kasih-sayang antara seorang majikan dan pembantu.Lakukan yang anda fikirkan terbaik kerana pembantu adalah asset anda. Pemurahlah dengan orang yang sebenarnya banyak membantu kehidupan kita kerana mereka penjaga pada anak kita masa kita bekerja. Layani mereka sebagai seorang yang banyak berjasa kepada kita sekeluarga.

36) Elakkan pergaduhan dan pertengkaran yang berlanjutan dengan pembantu kerana ianya mengaibkan. Mereka kadang-kadang nekad untuk melarikan diri apabila terasa tersisih/tidak dihargai oleh majikan. Sebagai majikan gunalah kebijaksanaan dalam menyelesaikan sebarang masalah.

37) Majikan harus tegas dalam hal yang perlu tetapi mesti menjadi majikan yang penyayang dan berhati mulia bagi menimbulkan seseronakkan bagi pembantu bekerja dalam tempoh kontrak kerana ia suatu jangkamasa yang agak lama.

38) Bayaran perubatan di hospital kerajaan untuk pekerja asing adalah tinggi. Untuk kes kematian bayaran menghantar jenazah disekitar RM6000 atau lebih. Mengambil insurans akan mengurangkan beban majikan. Bayaran insurans Takaful Nasional adalah RM60 setahun.

39) Pembantu adalah manusia biasa yang mempunyai kelebihan dan kelemahan masing-masing. Amat sukar untuk mencari pembantu yang sempurna. Pembantu muda mungkin senang mengikut arahan tetapi mungkin cepat terpengaruh dengan lelaki. Pembantu tua mungkin kurang terpengaruh dengan lelaki tetapi kadang-kadang sukar untuk memahami arahan.

40) Tidak perlu memarahi pembantu dalam soal yang kecil atau remeh walaupun besar pada pandangan kita. Tegur dengan berhikmah contohnya jika pembantu menggunakan telefon atau barangan tanpa kebenaran kita. Ada kemungkinan pembantu melarikan diri kerana merasa bersalah atau kesalahannya akan diketahui.

41) Jangan memandang ringan soal hak pembantu kerana mungkin pada pandangan pembantu adalah suatu yang besar. Contohnya masalah gaji tidak dibayar dengan penuh atau dipotong tanpa hak, barangan dirampas dan sebagainya, kerana dikhuatiri pembantu akan berdendam dan mengambil tindakan yang diluar dugaan.

42) Dapatkan penilaian pembantu terhadap kita dengan mendapatkan maklumbalas orang yang dekat dengan beliau contohnya pembantu rumah saudara kita. Jika pembantu mengatakan majikan kejam, mungkin kerana beliau merasa tertekan kerana selalu dimarahi. Jika mengatakan majikan pelit (kedekut) mungkin majikan terlalu berkira dengan pembantu. Jika mengatakan majikan tidak bagi cukup makan bermakna majikan tidak pernah menjaga hal ehwal makan minum mereka atau mereka merasa sukar untuk mendapat masa yang sesuai untuk makan.

43) Berusahalah mendidik pembantu terutama tentang agama. Pembantu agak daif dalam hal ini. Paling tidak bersama-samalah bersembahyang dengan ahli keluarga, kecuali berlainan agama.

44) Tunjukkan kasih saying dan perihatin anda kepada pembantu seperti mereka sebahagian daripada keluarga kita. Ambil berat tentang kesihatan dan kebajikan mereka.

45) Ingatlah segala pemberian,layanan,tuturkata dan perbuatan baik kita terhadap pembantu takkan sia-sia dan pastinya akan mendapat ganjaran yang sawajarnya di akhirat nanti. Sebaliknya juga.

Pembantu adalah asset anda. Uruskan mereka dengan baik dan kita memperolehi pelbagai manafaat daripadanya. Sekiranya kita tidak menguruskan dengan baik tidak mustahil kita akan kehilangannya.


Berikut adalah kemungkinan faktor-faktor pembantu rumah melarikan diri:

Cerita Sedih
>>>>Date: Fri, 14 May 2004 14:32:13 +0700
>>>>To: (Recipient list suppressed)
>>>>From: Lenny Halim

Sepasang suami isteri - seperti pasangan lain di kota-kota besar - meninggalkan anak-anak diasuh pembantu rumah semasa keluar bekerja. Anak tunggal pasangan ini, perempuan berusia tiga setengah tahun. Bersendirian di rumah dia kerap dibiarkan pembantunya yang sibuk bekerja bermain diluar, tetapi pintu pagar tetap dikunci. Bermainlah dia sama ada berayun-ayun di atas buaian yang dibeli bapanya,ataupun memetik bunga raya, bunga kertas dan lain-lain di halaman rumahnya.

Suatu hari dia melihat sebatang paku karat. Dia pun mencoret semen tempat mobil ayahnya diparkirkan tetapi kerana lantainya terbuat dari marmer, coretan tidak kelihatan. Dicobanya pada mobil baru ayahnya.Ya... kerana mobil itu bewarna gelap, oretannya tampak jelas. Apa lagi kanak-kanak ini pun membuat coretan sesuai dengan kreativitasnya.

Hari itu bapak dan ibunya bermotor ke tempat kerja kerana macet ada perayaan Thaipusam. Setelah penuh coretan yang sebelah kanan dia beralih ke sebelah kiri mobil. Dibuatnya gambar ibu dan ayahnya, gambarnya sendiri, lukisan ayam, kucing dan lain sebagainya mengikut imaginasinya. Kejadian itu berlangsung tanpa disadari si pembantu rumah.

Pulang petang itu, terkejut pasangan itu melihat kereta yang baru setahun dibeli dengan bayaran angsuran. Si bapak yang belum lagi masuk ke rumah ini pun terus menjerit, "Kerjaan siapa ini?"
Pembantu rumah yang tersentak dengan jeritan itu berlari keluar.
Dia juga beristighfar. Mukanya merah padam ketakutan lebih2 melihat wajah bengis tuannya.

Sekali lagi diajukan pertanyaan keras kepadanya, dia terus mengatakan 'Tak tahu... !" "kamu dirumah sepanjang hari, apa saja yang kau lakukan?" hardik si isteri lagi. Si anak yang mendengar suara ayahnya, tiba-tiba berlari keluar dari kamarnya. Dengan penuh manja dia berkata "Ita yang membuat itu abahhh.. cantik kan!" katanya sambil memeluk abahnya ingin bermanja seperti biasa.

Si ayah yang hilang kesabaran mengambil sebatang ranting kecil dari pohon bunga raya di depannya, terus dipukulkannya berkali2 ke telapak tangan anaknya. Si anak yang tak mengerti apa-apa terlolong-lolong kesakitan sekaligus ketakutan. Puas memukul telapak tangan, si ayah memukul pula belakang tangan anaknya. Si ibu cuma mendiamkan saja, seolah merestui dan merasa puas dengan hukuman yang dikenakan. Pembantu rumah terbengong, tidak tahu hrs berbuat apa?.

Si bapak cukup rakus memukul-mukul tangan kanan dan kemudian tangan kiri anaknya.Setelah si bapak masuk ke rumah dituruti si ibu, pembantu rumah Menggendong anak kecil itu, membawanya ke kamar.

Dilihatnya telapak tangan dan belakang tangan si anak kecil luka2 dan berdarah. Pembantu rumah memandikan anak kecil itu. Sambil menyiram air sambil dia ikut menangis. Anak kecil itu juga terjerit-jerit menahan kepedihan saat luka2nya itu terkena air. Si pembantu rumah kemudian menidurkan anak kecil itu.

Si bapak sengaja membiarkan anak itu tidur bersama pembantu rumah. Keesokkan harinya, kedua-dua belah tangan si anak bengkak.Pembantu rumah mengadu. "Oleskan obat saja!" jawab tuannya, bapak si anak.Pulang dari kerja, dia tidak memperhatikan anak kecil itu yang Menghabiskan waktu di kamar pembantu. Si bapak konon mau mengajar anaknya. Tiga hari berlalu, si ayah tidak pernah menjenguk anaknya sementara si ibu juga begitu tetapi setiap hari bertanya kepada pembantu rumah. "Ita demam... " jawap pembantunya ringkas. "Kasih minum panadol ," jawab si ibu. Sebelum si ibu masuk kamar tidur dia menjenguk kamar pembantunya. Saat dilihat anaknya Ita dalam pelukan pembantu rumah, dia menutup lagi pintu kamar pembantunya.

Masuk hari keempat, pembantu rumah memberitahukan tuannya bahwa suhu badan Ita terlalu panas. "Sore nanti kita bawa ke klinik. Pukul 5.00 siap" kata majikannya itu. Sampai saatnya si anak yang sudah lemah dibawa ke klinik. Doktor mengarahkan ia dirujuk ke hospital kerana keadaannya serius. Setelah seminggu di rawat inap doktor memanggil bapak dan ibu anak itu.
"Tidak ada pilihan.." katanya yang mengusulkan agar kedua tangan anak itu dipotong kerana gangren yang terjadi sudah terlalu parah. "Ia sudah bernanah, demi menyelamatkan nyawanya kedua tangannya perlu dipotong dari siku ke bawah" kata doktor.

Si bapak dan ibu bagaikan terkena halilintar mendengar kata-kata itu. Terasa dunia berhenti berputar, tapi apa yang dapat dikatakan. Si ibu meraung merangkul si anak. Dengan berat hati dan lelehan air mata isterinya, si bapak terketar-ketar manandatangani surat persetujuan pembedahan. Keluar dari bilik pembedahan, selepas obat bius yang suntikkan habis, si anak menangis kesakitan. Dia juga heran2 melihat kedua tangannya berbalut kasa putih. Ditatapnya muka ayah dan ibunya. Kemudian ke wajah pembantu rumah. Dia mengerutkan dahi melihat mereka semua menangis. Dalam siksaan menahan sakit, si anak bersuara dalam linangan air mata. "Abah.. Mama... Ita tidak akan melakukannya lagi. Ita tak mau ayah pukul. Ita tak mau jahat. Ita sayang abah.. sayang mama." katanya berulang kali membuatkan si ibu gagal menahan rasa sedihnya.

"Ita juga sayang Kak Narti.." katanya memandang wajah pembantu rumah, sekaligus membuatkan gadis dari Surabaya itu meraung histeris. "Abah.. kembalikan tangan Ita. Untuk apa ambil.. Ita janji tidak akan mengulanginya lagi! Bagaimana caranya Ita mau makan nanti? Bagaimana Ita mau bermain nanti? Ita janji tidak akan mencoret2 mobil lagi," katanya berulang-ulang. Serasa copot jantung si ibu mendengar kata-kata anaknya. Meraung2 dia sekuat hati namun takdir yang sudah terjadi, tiada manusia dapat menahannya.

*"jika tidak dapat apa yang kita suka...belajarlah untuk menyukai apa yang kita dapat.." *SoMeTiMeS GoOd PeOpLe Do EvIl ThiNgs….

Worry my ass!?

Have you been worrying a lot lately??

Morning worry, afternoon worry, evening worry, night worry, tomorrow worry again.. huh!!

*********

Most of us worry too much on 'what others might think' on what we do, what we wear, what we watch and etc.. etc..

I personally think the word 'worry' on what others think should be change to 'care' on what others might think.

'Care on what others might think' means we are aware of the responsible and accountability, means we are matured when taking the choice. While 'worry' give a so-bad picture about what might happen, it does not reflect maturity but carries negative aroma.

The cousin of 'worry' is 'afraid', and afraid of what might and what will, is endemic in the society today.
.

Pampered in the comfort zone for too long, the society are unwilling to take risk to jump to the other side. It is strangely difficult to sit in front row when we are used to sit at the back or middle row (the comfort zone) - in church, meetings, forums etc.

People are afraid of critics and comments as well as afraid of giving out comments and critics. We usually hear the 'no comment' or even worse the 'silent protest' from the audience. It's somehow uncomfortable to voice out, so they stay quite.

Behold!

*****

People are afraid of how they look. They read the 'beauty magazine' to get tips on how to look beautiful and end up feeling ugly. The magazine tells them that blonde hair is a yes and white or black hair is a no. Aren't we all beautiful in our own ways?.

China's most respected Teacher, Confucius quotes "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it" how true..


The UNCONVENTIONAL WORLD RECORDS nominated that this person is the ugliest person on earth...



But, that is only from his/her view. To some, that might be different (and we are not sure if there's a photoshop work in the photo, right?) - no offense to worldrec.info btw.

Even if you looks damm beautiful to others, some will just say they had enough of you.



except for the one in red, talk about how many of those two being dumb ^.^
********

The fact is what ever we do, there will always be some who will disagree or hate it.

We do the right thing - people still complaint
We do the wrong thing - people also complaint.

Conclusion??

Be a matured good citizen - lets just do the right thing and leave the complaint alone.

Even God is full of love and still many disagree with God.


I like to end this sharing with a twisted story of
'The Pastor's Ass'

************
The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and it won again.

The local paper read: PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT.

The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race.

The next day, the local paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS.

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get rid of the donkey. The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent.

The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day: NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN.

The bishop fainted.

He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for $10.

The next day the paper read: NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild.

The next day the headlines read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.

The bishop was buried the next day.

*********

Being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and
misery even shorten your life!


So friends, be yourself and enjoy life!

Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and you'll be a lot happier and live longer! Have a good happy Monday!

Yeah! Thanks God it's Monday!

Can't make love without Internet??

Last nite I can't sleep, well actually I have Insomnia since I started to think rapidly at night. But last nite was terrible.. because I CAN'T connect to the internet!!!

I don't know, maybe it's my modem or my line problem. I ever complaint about it to Telekom (as it frequently happened) but whatever they do and they say (if any).... it always come back to square one. zzzzz


This is really de-motivating disheartening.

..ohh they also told me that my area 'mimang tidak bagus punya tempat, slalu ada masalah line..' ^.^

At first I don't buy it, but been facing the issues again and again for almost 2 years now, I began to believe it O.O '..yah, tempat sya mimang tidak bagus line tu..' -.-

Anybody else living in Taman Kepayan Phase 2 or adjacent? Do you have the same issues? difficulty or unable to connect to the internet or even if connected the line keeps on dropping every 2-3 minutes (very unstable).. /sigh

/flash back..

zzzz now without internet, life is like.. uhh incomplete. Walhal dulu-dulu teda internet tapi ok juga kan? but, dulu lain sekarang lain bah.. ermm betul juga kan.. ^.^

I believe many of us are now pretty dependent to the internet. Beside the main surfing, downloading and communicating now socialising via internet, we are also paying electric bills-loan-c.card due-etc via the net.

We can also shop (and it's quite special when you shop online - you'll receive things in a box, it has the element of surprise :)), we can also transfer money, pay road tax, find potential lovers or part time lovers or no love but suka-suka seja *.0, and etc etc..

For many the internet is literally part of life and it feels terrible not to be able to get connected when you really want it, agree?

I know pretty numbers of people who doesn't have internet facility in their home but they are so up-to-date with their 'net life'. Most of them are the youngsters and small numbers of adult. They are what I term as 'Cyber bugs'.

Just like the normal natural bug, these evolved cyber bugs will also search for the 'flowers and fruits' and when they come around they bring many aromas.. some of them have acceptable smells and others with pretty weird smells.. few are totally unacceptable!! they make other cyber bugs fly away... (I have had a cybercafe, so I know what its like "-.-)

They have similarity with us (home/office internet user), their life is incomplete without going to the cybercafe at least once a day. I mean.. Really! they are like 'high on internet-drug'.

Well I mean most of the youngsters cyber user and not ALL cyber user. Fact is thousands of people interneting from cybercafe for various reason but they are not like the 'cyber bug' as I claimed.

I too patronize the cyber sometime when I have no other choice to go online. However, I try to avoid doing business from cyber as mush as possible. There is this insecure feeling when using public PC, even in the office.

A friend of mine recently send me an alert about using public or office PC. He claims that there are devices that were planted in those PC which will records everything you do and type on the particular PC. He send me this photo as one of those device. You tell me, is this TRUE?? I thought it was just an adapter for mouse or keyboard?






Besides I think there are endless spying/recording software out there that can be abused to collect personal information from internet users. The I.T technology is so vast and the probability of what it will be in future is infinity. One way or another there will be some tech-geeks producing another super uber bot, spyware, hackerware, invisible crawlers, viruses etc etc.

Thus, I think nobody is really internet safe.

But I'm a small time lecturer. Ain't got any particulars interesting enuff for others to desperately to know.... rite? Well, I have a pretty wife.. but that just about it lah.. so I think I should be fine.

erm.. do you think my Boss is desperate to know what I'm doing with my PC in the office? especially when I starred unanimously blinkless to the screen with my half-smiled :P

He might have plant something to check his staff right.. then he'd probably be reading this too "-.-

Alright then, I better go back to work now! :P


Ohh, sorry about the title.. its...... I don't know what to do with it *.*

bah, Peace!

BTW, you can also find out on the top blogs on SEO, web design and Celebrities! from the same site.

From one of the top blogs, I found a very good and useful ebook especially for newbies. This ebook will tell you the different from 'wannabe internet gurus' and the 'real-life example of Internet Guru', its worth readings with lots of tips and it's tottally FREE (unlike the many free report then advised to buy this and that-- familiar? :P) Sign-up and get it in your box.

And ohh! This is the reason why I started to blog now :D. Some ideas from the person might be 'different' with others opinion, but he is also making a great income form blogging.

local reference? Yes ,I got at least one.. If you are Sabahan, this site is a must read and subscribed. Gaman is among my great friends and he is a very successful Internet marketers. Very polite and kind, handsome, rich and (if not mistaken) still single too :P - sorry bro. I'll remove this if it offend.


My conclusion:
It's true that just by googling for 'blogs tips' in google will bring enormous results. Literally one can learn almost everything needed to know on blogging from Internet research alone.

However, there's also a danger of having vast Internet communities. The advantages of internet communities is also it's own disadvantages - that is it's soooooo HUGE!. Getting endless source of information might be good but there's a price to pay for over-information.

I find my self a bit over information most of the time earlier (now I'm in-control of the information flowing to me :D). Too much of information will make newbies paralyse or sluggish. I don't want to end up reading and reading and reading but no action at all ^.^

Hence, I think participating in 3-4 communities such as forums and blog community and getting the most out of it, is much more effective. That's my friend's advice and I'm doing that now... trying to find the right 'clicks' where I should belongs to.

well anyway, I certainly hope that the little suggestions above will be helpful to newbies like me.. I would also really appreciate suggestion and recommendation from seniors. I'm learning bah.

Cheers! for Monday!!!

Decent Financial Planning / Management

Hurmm..... looking at the title above, I think most of my friend would be thinking "is he up to this??" ..and perhaps you might wonder as well.

Well, okay.. if you would ask me about it, I would say... yes! Yes, if you are still not having any successful Financial Planning yet or if you are still wandering every month 'where did all my money go ahh?' or if you still within the communities bracket who likes to utter 'biasalah, ujung bulan kan... mana ada usin...' and definitely YES if you are not up to my peers.

^.^ well, I'm not that good to be really fully satisfied with, but I believe at least I'm above the average..

One thing for sure is that I'm not an expert in this field and not even close! but hey, do you really have to be an accountant to be able to handle your money properly? or do we have to master major in economics to be able to understand that the world is truly facing the greatest financial and economical crisis ever and no country will be able to fly above it as if it was Christmas or just Halloween ~ yada! yada!

Naaa.. I'm not an expert! so if you stumbled here accidentally while looking for the best expert advices and super tips and best-secrets regarding finance, well sorry friend, I'm not the man, you may leave and peace alrite.

On the other hand if you belong to some categories I mentioned earlier in my 1st para, then I love to invite you to continue reading, and as well as if you are my friends or want to be my friends or you have a 'feel' ^.^ while reading my title, then by all means please continue reading. I'm not promising anything yada yada rah rah here, but suffice for me to say that "I think I have a nice simple Financial Planning formula' that if I have a friend in need I would definitely share about it.

Alright, here goes.. if you really want to go ahead on this, please relax and have a coffee or snack or anything to relax you, because this one is pretty long and plain narrative :D.

Basically everyone or most people love to spend their money wisely (I say most as I know few persons who doesn't give a damm about where their money goes). For the majority who want to spend their money wisely and if you are one of them, most probably you would have at least a basic formula / method that you use when managing your money. I'm talking about things like a simple book keeping or a any similar financial documentation format (normally using Excel) you use to produce your budget and keep track on all your pennies. If you don't even have this, you are in BIG trouble! you should trust me on that.

Seriously, if you really haven't got any sort of financial practices, I suggest you to go grab one of the best selling book in Malaysia by Azizi - Millionaires are from different planet. He will make your butt uneasy on your soft sofa or cozy office furnitures. His book was my 1st and only mentor on financial planning and I found it when I was around 26/27 yrs old, pretty late actually (yeah, nobody advice me anything about finance before).

However, knowing the basic such as Income vs Outcome, debit - credit, expenses, saving, loan, etc.. and arranging those in a nice excel spreadsheet monthly won't help much. That is just basic, and basic is just that - a basic. I tot my financial will be okay once I applied those but I was wrong, month to month to year I still suffer some medium size 'financial turmoil' in my own small world.

Until ONE FINE DAY, I accidentally discovered my old book while doing some house cleaning (a book which I bought long time ago but never read about), wonders do work in life bah. Very seldom I will do house cleaning but I did it that day and I found a 'diamond'. I read it through and walllaaa! I was smiling to my self :D, it was like Hallelujah! feel as if 'I was born again - in financial spirit', if I can put it that way. It was touching actually as I felt strong confidence to be able to manage my income INTELLIGENTLY and I was right.

So what did the book says to me?

Among others the book says:

* that in order to be rich, I got to B R E A K the law. The Parkinson's Law which says "expenses will always meet income" in a more simple term, the more is our income the more is our expenses. Have any of you guys experience that?? got a little pay rise or some extra income and soon the expense raise immediately (as if it was on race) and end up with just able to-meet-month-end scenario.

* that even if all the wealth in the world are divided to all the people in the world, in no time all the wealth will be back to its original place, that is in the hand of the rich people. Because the rich people knows what to do with their money and the poor don't. As the famous hush goes 'rich will get richer, and the poor will get poorer'. Pernah dengar gini? it's very seldom we hear people complaint/blame to themselves but it's always the mistakes of others.

* that to be rich is NEVER dependent on the bank balance but always about being rich as a person. The secret to be a millionaire is to be a millionaire as a person, not by bank balance. Ever heard a person with lots of money but live miserably? just google it. Happen to most lottery or jackpot winner who end-up worst then before they won anything. (I got one living example - my own friend. He won almost 700K from 4d tickets and after just three months, his situation worsen, believe me.. I mean it really worst. It's pain in the #@* to look at).

*and the book says lots more good stuffs... but I think you want to know the most important of all and that's what I want to share too. It is the formula, and the formula is simply...

10-30-30-30

(if you are well inform about this then it's good, I hope you don't mind to put up a comment yah)

What's the explanation about this? very easy and well justified.

- 10 is 10% of your income must be used to help the needy. Some people call this tithing. The point is you must give back, give it back to the people. Some might consider a weekly donation (e.g donating in church on every Sunday) is good enough, but actually it's not. To give back means to really give the 10% to the one who really in need. It could be anybody, but best to start with the families then friends, communities and etc.

One VERY IMPORTANT condition here is that you must give it away freely, not as a loan or as a borrowing. If you are done that and later someone bump you for help, if you can't help just refuse it politely. If someone ask you for lending - NEVER, Never ever lend your 10%, just give it away.

- 30 is 30% of you income must be sufficient to cover all your monthly life expenses. Ini yang buat orang slalu terngaga besarrrr hohoho! nvm just relax... This includes your F&B, utilities, loan, what-so-ever but ALL your monthly expenses. When I 1st saw this I almost had a heart attack, there's no #@%*ing way for me to do that.. but actually there is a way, just read on.

- The next 30 is another 30% of your income must be used for SAVING and INVESTMENT. Repeated - SAVING and INVESTMENT ONLY! save in few ways at least, you name it ASB, Fixed D., Current Account, what ever ways but save it. And according to your preference, some portion of it must be used on investment and the best recommended investment by the book is to invest on your own self. Improvised your self, go for training, courses, read books, etc. you will invest in properties and etc once you reach the 'level', so invest in your self. If you are not sure what to invest, put the money in saving 1st. Invest it only when you are sure.

- The last 30 is the remaining 30% of your income and this is what I like the most and it is very important.. The last 30% must be used for nothing else but for your LEISURE! yeah, for FUN and ADVENTURE, that is for your enjoyment (of course for you and family if you have one). And it must be a quality leisure activity, a quality enjoyment which you really want to do and will be among your best experience.

It is in such portion because 'we must plan and act for the future while in the same time we must also enjoy our life today as much as we have invest and save for the future'. There's no use of saving all your money and die rich but never manage to use the richness to appreciate life. We must enjoy today for heaven knows if we still have tomorrow or not. It's all about balance. The point is to design a lifestyle that YOU LOVE TODAY and would LOVE TO HAVE in the future.

Now, what if your monthly expense exceed 30% of your income?? mine was actually overshoot more than 50%.. uhhh /pains! /pains!

Never mind if it exceeds. The formula 10:30:30:30 is actually the ideal situation. That is the target. However you must start to apply the formula immediately. Start with what ever is left. Say if your income balance after portioning for all your expenses, is only RM 10 left +.+ just divided the balance RM 10 to 10% for the needy, 50% for saving and investment and 50% for leisure i.e RM 1 : RM 4.5 : RM 4.5.

Vital is, the amount for saving and investment must equivalent with your fun and adventure at all time. What you save and invest for the future must equally spend to your enjoyment TODAY. For Today is a what we have and tomorrow is guaranteed to no one.

This what the book call as 'Fine-Tuning the Formula'. Adjust your financial to meet the formula until at the end hopefully you will reach the ideal 10:30:30:30. Adjustment you financial could also be a cost cutting of monthly expenses and getting more monthly income form extra work and other sources.

So that's it ladies and gentlemen! I have applied this formula and it works well 'so far' and it makes me smile and it makes me feel better.

One last tips though, if you want to incorporate your spouse income into the plan, make sure to have a good discussion with your partner. Both party must well understand and agreed. There must be a harmony in the family in applying it, after all that is what financial planing is meant for.

Now you know it and next big challenge is to really put it into practice. Formula is again just a formula. 100 books is just 100 books rite. To obtain the results, action must be in motion.

Okay, tell me what do you think about this. Would you give it a try? or if not, perhaps you have a better suggestion? would you please share your thoughts with me. I would really love to hear others say on this.

Thank you.

"Learn mistakes form others, we can't live long enuff to do it all by ourselves"

Such a strong and essential tips especially to those whose life had just 'begun'. Many people says that - man's life begins at 30.. some says 40.. some says 50. so I think as soon as the person reach maturity as a person (attitude & thinking) not by age - he/she should be handling his/her life with extra careful - after all life is so fragile - we can't be 'too careful'. To make sure we can handle our things and life much much better - we need to learn more lesson from everyday life.

Few months back I went to the cemetery in my kampung to pay a short visits to my father's grave - then I went around to see some other new graves I noticed. There were numbers of names on the grave that shocks me - they were my friends whom I still feel their presences and I can still picture their smiles and jokes, but they are actually 'no longer existed' . Then I recalled most of them (if not all) died of accidents and health problems (cancers). My father passed away due to cancer too - colon cancer. Life is so fragile - I learned lessons from their life story.

What attracted me to blog about this title isn't really because of that went-to-the-grave experience, but it was somehow related in a bigger picture. Actually I want to make a topic that everyone can share their 'mistakes' so that everyone can learn and get improvised generally.

If the word 'mistakes' sounds too bad or the experience is just too embarrassing to be shared - try to just produce the 'lesson learned' or the 'tips' so that others (or at least myself) would gain the benefit. I think people will appreciates that a lot. After all that's what the wise says;

"learn mistakes form others, we can't live long enuff to do it all by ourselves".

and furthemore;

"Lessons are repeated until it's learned"

I just hope that any sharing here are originals - it is easy to find nice "I've learned this and that's... copy pasted from the net.." (that is welcome too but please re-word it :P), but original stories / tips would be most welcome.

I'll kick off sharing (all sharing from comments will be incorporated in this post bearing your tag. & will be updated regularly)

Lesson 1 (By DA)
(Happened to me a while ago) When you planed to re-finance your car or to buy your spouse car (ini biasa orang laki-bini buat untuk dapatkan extra cash). Do it 1 month or few weeks before expiry dates of the car's road-tax. This is true specially when dealing with family car where the main point is just to get some cash n not to really sell away the car. By this you will be able to save from paying extra cash for the insurance purposes, because a new car owners MUST buy a new different insurance. Jadi jangan kena double payment for insurance. In my case I have just renew my road-tax last months and this week I plan to re-finance my car - akhirnya I have to pay a new insurance coverage again (walhal baru last month sia renew road-tax and insurance - bengong). So avoid it.

Some extra consideration - if that car has some 'bruises' and 'scars' here and there, just sent your car to 'accident' and then send for touch-up or fix anything broken/not functioning, UNDER insurance coverage (mcmana mo buat tu pandai-pandailah :P). You are actually optimizing your insurance. Because once change ownership, the car will have a new insurance and you will have to pay the premium without any discount. So when you plan to re-finance a car, make sure you really re-NEW the car :D.
-------------------------

Lesson 2 (By DA - added on 7 Nov 08)
I remember my only digital camera................ which is now R.I.P :(
It happen after I sent it to the Service Center for minor fix, but instead of repairing it 'they make it a major blow!' It was my only Sony Cybershot. I send to Sony service center in Damai, they sent it to K.L, and when it back to Sabah, it's dead!. I query and complaint - they sent it back to K.L, and later K.L told me to pay RM 600 to fix it.. zzzzzzz they blow it (and they don't want to admit it) and now I have to pay for it.. waaa =/

Since I can't afford it (sebab kalau RM 600, bagus lagi beli baru..), they don't want to fix it! At the end I lost the cam. Wherever I go now, I only have my eyes to capture the images... sob sob sob.. /sigh

Becareful when sending your things (especially electronics) for fix, make sure you show to the counter 'what really working and what not'. Sometimes they might end screw-up and don't want to admit it. Better still bring along a witness and let him/her sign any documents as well. Kalau mau lagi bagus, kamu bergambar-gambar lagilah sana dalam tu center for more proof :P.

Haiya I seriously need a digi cam now....
