teruskan kecemerlangan

Kata si suami, azam tahun barunya tak mahu balik lambat.
Aku. Mengeluh sahaja. Tak berani nak buat azam seperti itu.
Terdengar mesin punch card diketik berkali-kali. Jam di dinding sudah mengorak 5.30 petang.
Tiba-tiba dapat panggilan dari si suami.
Sayang, kat ofis lagi? Bila nak balik?
Ermm.. er....Kejap lagi. Pukul 6. ( Dalam hati ragu-ragu.)
Sedar-sedar, sudah 2 minggu bekerja di unit dasar. Kena cepat belajar, mengikut kata pegawai senior.
Teringat kembali ketika sesi perjumpaan pegawai-pegawai yang dinaikkan pangkat, ada seorang pegawai atasan menasihatkan kami supaya mengambil peluang ketika masih memegang jawatan 41/44 untuk cuba menyelami sebaik mungkin segala ilmu yang perlu bagi seorang pentadbir.Seseorang itu perlu bersifat sabar, punyai minat dan kesungguhan untuk memahami ilmu, cuba perbaiki diri dan pelengkapkan kemahiran supaya bakal bergelar multiskill with good personality. Ketrampilan perlu dijaga. Bukannya bermaksud menyarung jaket mewah Armani sudah cukup menunjukkan kehebatan pegawai itu. Minda juga perlu dibaja. Pangkat dan wang bukan tiket untuk mendabik dada.
Kenapa penting untuk persiapkan diri sekarang? Kerana bila jawatan 48 itu  masa untuk menelaah sudah kurang. Mesyuarat demi mesyuarat perlu dihadiri. Jawapan perlu disediakan segera. Jawapan itu mestilah mengikut pertimbangan dan pengalaman, bukan sekadar atas sebab menjadi ketua di sesebuah unit atau organisasi.Mungkin ruang untuk belajar sudah berkurangan kerana ruang untuk mengajar pegawai seliaan kita sudah meningkat.
Pengalaman di tempat baru mengasyikkan. Baru aku faham kenapa ayah sangat meminati bidang ini.
Dulu, jari menguis pantas tetikus untuk buat perakuan di espkb. Panggilan telefon datang bertalu-talu dan semakan berkomputer menggunakan pelbagai aplikasi dan rujukan pihak luar menjadi kerja harian. Memo  dan emel dipinda berkali-kali oleh ketua sebelum diedar.Suara teguran yang nyaring menjadi santapan harian dan sumber motivasi setiap hari. Cukuplah 2 tahun dengan suasana seperti itu.
Kini, situasi berubah. Mejaku senyap sunyi. Fail-fail lama menjadi kawan. Ketua baru sangat memahami dan sedia membimbing. kali ini banyak perkara baru dipelajari, memo, minit bebas, memorandum jemaah menteri, bagaimana untuk membezakan fail terhad, sulit dan rahsia. Penggubalan dasar-dasar baru. Seronok untuk buat perubahan di tempat baru.
Aku kini belajar mendalami bidang penulisan, dan ini sangat menepati minat peribadi.
Ya, aku perlu cepat belajar. Time waits for no man.kata pepatah Inggeris.
Aku bakal mengorak langkah satu anak tangga dalam sejarah perkhidmatan sendiri. Adakah aku bakal mara dan menjadi yang terbaik?
Harapannya begitulah. Dan kepada si suami untuk terus meneruskan kecemerlangan beliau juga.

redefining new Style

I used to complain to my hubby about the ridiculously decreasing temperature in my office.

even the coffee gets cold easily in 5 minutes.
the first time i told him, he just ignored it.
then, he slowly begin to notice how I dressed up to work.
when we went out to scout for new suit the other day, he was surpised when I told him I wanted a winter coat from Zara.
and yesterday I was wearing a dark brown power suit with a cute belt behind  the back, as I hurriedly put on the silk stockings and searched for my black gloves, he started to ask questions.
I said, lucky I didn't start a new craze for winter clothing this time around.
yeah...I didn't waste a penny for my elaun pakaian panas.
do you know that almost every PP in BL owns a winter coat?
i'm going for a classic Chanel look soon. the one that looks like a mini dress to pair up with a long mermaid skirt.
Just kidding!

new surrounding

only now, I finally finish reorganizing my new desk. Phew!!
I've been meaning to do it since Monday,but I was really torn in between learning new stuff and seeing things perfectly in order. my colleague told me , you better start cleaning your desk now before you got very swamped with work!
ay! so I begin my first phase last Friday after office hour and the second phase this Sunday morning.
Still had this old habit of 'masuk ofis' during weekend, when weekend was actually for families and friends.
Ah, I'll catch up with you guys later.
I'm beginning to love this new surroundings.Gone are the days when you got so tied up with phone calls, and people come to your desk every 10 minutes and vouchers to be signed. And opening three different webpages in order to entertain the client. So much for multitasking for me!
Now, the volumes are lesser. But there are more papers and researches to do for the top management. And a better boss.
and the jasmine scent wraps the whole area like it was the new spring for me...

i'm back!!!

two weeks away and I'm back!

this is a good start I presume.

I can finally end the nightmare of worrying about finance management when I finally received the memo.

As I stepped into the office today, I greet everybody with a warm hello and ready to pack my things and shift

to my new desk.

From now on, I'll be doing more research and reading. This is going to be fun.Some people said that working on policy planning is boring, but I regard that as a challenge and let's master this at this very junior level. Handling finance for more than two years sometimes upsets me a bit, but I learn a lot from my boss who taught me the word patience and independence in many ways that I can never imagine.

so here I am. slowly building my expertise on dasar latihan.

It was not walk in the park.

but it allows me to work according to my own time. I shall do my best.

refreshing trip

the reason to be away from the office is to be with him.

and the best place to spend a holiday was to be in a faraway land.

looking forward for another holiday soon, maybe this time around strictly for shopping.

;-)

THE LETTER

 
finally, the letter arrived.
 
I'm staying in PSD for now. But to remain in Training Division, that's another question.
We'll soon receive our memo and I shall know my future in the few days.
 
So, am I happy to get the promotion?
 
Yes I am. Praise to God, this is a good beginning.
 
Its time to finish the Nota Serah Tugas and delegate the tasks before someone else take this place!
