PHASE OF RECOVERY - STILL 50% WIO




Assalam all, Ramadhan AlMubarak! 

Today is already our 15th day for Ramadhan and I just would like to save some of the memories of WIO in pandemic time here so that we could all relate back on how difficult it was then and still is. So yeahhh, our plant location is in the middle of the red zone and now most bosses in our office are from China and they had been vaccined so no problem for them. Travel interstate is still not allowed so to travel to Tg Malim needs permit and legal letters. We were also divided by zones but due to the long duration and unstrict enforcement some really brave the situation by just not complying to all. Our production still runs day and night and i am just grateful that we dont have foreign workers in our factories so the spread caused by foreign workers is quite controlled here. Just syukur alhmdulillah that though all unfortunate events happening inside the company (kluster and all) we are still protected by Allah. We lost few good people, so this pandemic is real guys. 


May Allah keep on pretecting all of us and we pray to Allah to give us chances to work as a team for the coming years.


Amin

Hidangan Ramadhan Mommy WFH




Salam Ramadhan ke 9!! Just to keep here sebagai kenangan. This year alhmdulillah tak berpuasa dlm PKP spt tahun lepas..wpn PKPB namun jauh lebih baik dari PKP. Syukur sgt! Even bazaar Ramadhan dibuka. Kita pun bukanlah nk membeli beria di bazaar tu cuma tolong sedikit sebanyak apa termampu untuk merancakkan ekonomi negara.

And yeah, this year dpt WFH lagi di bln puasa selang seli WIO. Ibu ibu ni sbnrnya better sgt WFH sb wanita mmg semulajadinya multitasker. So lepas meeting kita mengaji. 5pm terus boleh bersilat didapur tak payah nak fikir harung jem bagai. 

Juadah berbuka ni pula selera dah makin berumur sikit ni lebih kepada yang ringkas ringkas je..air manis manis pun tak berapa nak lalu mana. Rezeki juga tu sebab kalau berselera harimau je sentiasa mau poket pun nipis je sebab mkn berlima ni paling koman rm50 sekali makan dah skrg. So kita masak lah food yang jd kegemaran semua..satu dua lauk dah cukup. Alhmdulillah



Ada hari kita cuba buat nasi mandi mkn dgn ayam bakers cottage black pepper. Cubaan pertama mommy buat alhmdulillah boleh kira lah..hehe.

Ramadhan ke 2 haritu buat sambal sotong and gulai ayam pekat pekat alhmdulillah


Ada one day cuba buat ketayap alhmdulillah jadi. Ptg ni maybe nak buat popiah goreng and roti goreng kot tgk cmne. 



Ni masa Ramadhan pertama kita buat ayam percik kelate style.
Resipi dia mudah yang amat. nanti saya sharekan inshallah.



Ni Ramadhan ke 7, kita pan grill daging ala khairul aming.. perap dgn sos tiram and kicap je. And buat sos thai.. kerang kita rebus sikit utk mkn dgn sos tiram juga. Tomyam ayam lebur lebur and voila siap!!!. Alhmdulillah

 


Ok lah. Moga bagi idea sikit pada semua mommies apa nak masak for the coming days. One of my fav takde plak gambar, masa tu buat sambal ikan, gulai udang and bonces goreng telur..nanti cari vid nya tepek sini as inspirasi



Ada hari mmg nasi kerabu tapau kedai favorite and Ayam Goreng McD ajee sebab wio tak sempat, so semua jgn stress stress mana sempat kita buat.bila takdan..kita layan!

Selamat berpuasa semua! Kejap je dah nak habis first trimester of Ramadhan. Ramadhan Kareem everyone!!

Love,

Zahra

Pantai Redang Sekinchan

 



Salam Ramadhan ke 7 dah today.. just nak simpan sini kenangan first time sampai Sekinchan. Dah lama dah cerita ni, mid March aritu before Ramadhan, just baru nak tulis sini.. Alhmdulillah pengalaman ke pantai barat Selangor masih ada banyak tempat yang belum jelajah dan terokai dgn anak anak. 

















Anak anak ni kecil sekali je..and time passes by so fast you can hardly catch-up. So just breath in the air and go for adventures together. One day, the kids will too big to follow us and they will request to fly away from the nest. Last time, I realized Iman was already too big for playgrounds he once was very much fond of once upon a time not long before. We went there for 30minutes and he was more than ready to go back. Ah..where did the time go?!







All in all Sekinchan still has a lot to be explored for. And there is a waterpark in construction nearby Redang Beach which i reckon will be completed soon enough. Ada byk jual mentarang but we havent yet tried any. And i saw a lot of mee udang sold along the paddy fields all the way from Jeram to Teluk Intan. 


For my boys, no matter how old you may grow up and roam the world, your mama will always be here for you. All those scoldings and yelling means i love you, and i wanted you to learn to be a good person so that the day i die, you will not be needing me anymore. And it goe by the saying, you boys might outgrow my lap, but never my heart.







 Love,

Mommy Z.

Marhaban Ya Ramadhan 1442h!

 




Salam Ramadhan 2021! 

Another Ramadhan in pandemic, only better this time around compared to PKP last year. Celebrating the holiest month with a special diy Ramadhan corner just to spruce up the atmosphere and mood to encourage lil Mikhail to learn to fast. Alhmdulillah, year by year i learned to appreciate Ramadhan more until we come to the level of excited with the coming Ramadhan more than Syawal. Baju raya yang terlalu cantik and mahal only for raya does not really excite me now as much as 10years ago, and we are really happy to settle with moderation..alhmdulillah!~`1

First year to fast for Mikhail mashallah..we hope for him to cope well and be very familiar with fasting and all the happiness of Ramadhan.

Ramadhan Kareem everyone! May Allah bestow us with barakah and forgive all our sins. Amin!

All the best Mikhail! and of course Iman and Amsyar too! Day 1 alhmdulillah..another 29days to go!We'll have the merriest Raya this year Inshallah!!





Love,

Mommy Z

Our visit to Bukit Melawati 2020





Assalam guys!
Our first time here for an adhoc March cuti sekolah short road trip. Kita jelajah apa ada. Nothing much to shout out up here but kerajaan negeri could surely make a lot of improvements here.

Tram ticket was RM3 for adults and RM2 for kids for a 5mis ride uphill to an open area with cannons, muzium and a lighthouse. And of course amazing view of Selat Melaka, I think. A nice experience overall. just sharing some pictures and videos for those planning to pay a visit here during these #takbolehrentasnegeri days.






Tons of monkeys (Lotong and beruk) waiting for us uphill. ada dijual food for the monkeys just for fun. They are behaved monkeys but yes wild life are wild so just be extra carefull all the time








































Just my 2cent for improvement - To have more muzium contents up hill and a small exclusive cafe selling off ice blended coffee and pastry would be nice. Monkeys are too many maybe there are some other ways to make the number just bearable enough for a nice visit (for example adakan taman ular or tiger zoo). A petting zoo also could be nice and add small hawkers selling bubbles and such.
Selangor boleh!!!



So yeah signing off with "ZZ were Here" and sending off lotsalove!
Take care guys! Visit Selangor and stay safe!

Nikmat apakah yang kamu ingin dustakan?

Assalam.


Luahan hati sikit harini. Kalau sudi baca alhmdulillah.

Rezeki Allah tetapkan bukan hanya di tanda dgn gaji dan pangkat. I learned this the hard way. I strived and worked hard for titles and pangkat when there is opportunity but sometimes bila hati tak ikhlas, duit dapat cepat saja rasa pergi. And then we had this re organization circa 2016 which taught me a lot about how to become an overall better person, alhmdulillah.

I was given a huge responsibility and was paired with a very honest personality who had taught me so much great values in life. We just face whatever we could with all our energy and skills and never looked back. My people skill and knowledge grew deeper by day, and our enery level by 530 every single day was at 5% just enough to get ourselves back home. All that really matters is actually what really matters and we have to do what we have to do, with what we can. Each day was a new challenge. Each challenge a new lesson to be learnt. And by the end we were actually satisfied. I didnt really care of the tittles or levels anymore but mashallah the rezeki kept flowing in. I was really in awe with what Allah had for us for our sincerity in doing more than we should and the concept of His Adil. He will give you what you work for as He knows all what we have done. So yes, i didnt get raise but the money/bonus/incentives was more than what i will get if i had gotten the raise. I was struggling with my lhdn filings for those years (in a good way) but i was not complaining. Syukur alhmdulillah. I pushed my engineer to get a raise and kpi 4 for 3consecutive years because i believe she deserves it.

Yup i didnt get my raise but i my loans cleared for a new car, one of my dream car that me and hubs were awing all those while. I managed to get my home a lil bit improved alhmdulillah, and we had a lil bit put away for our big family holiday 2020 and a lil bit more squeezed for open tables alhmdulillah.




Being very used to simplicity, we didnt have huge wants to iphone12 or big new smart tv so thats a good thing. And we were so used to simplicity, we do not really have a long wish list to change or buy everything. I know where to get similar items cheaper and better values of items around us alhmdulillah. And hubs self taught himself to do diy works around the house, from simple carpentry to repairing and complicated wiring.so this was a major rezeki for us alhmdulillah. I was always the creative director and he was the executor.lol. Once he did all the wirings, lamps and fans for the whole 2 storey house of his lil brother..which had saved his brother around 2k. I know this 2k value will come back around to us in a lot of other versions for us to help them dgn ikhlas.

We always work as a team, and jangan berkira. You do you. Dan perkahwinan ni sebenarnya medan memberi, ibadat kita paling panjang sepanjang hayat kita. Nak sentuh bab kawin ni mashallah..syukur sangat Allah kurniakan suami yang sangat sangat sabar dgn segala kerenah kita. Kalau nak kira buruk dia tu..tak setanding buruk kita. Suami adalah hadiah untuk kita- medan pahala kita, dan kita rebut pahala untuk memberi dan memberi. And whatever we bring back to the table we share. I think that is one of the things yang murahkan lg rezeki flow untuk kami. Ikhlas antara satu sama lain dan sentiasa ada rasa hormat dan integiti. Yups integriti. You do you ni besar makna and konteks dia sbnrnya. Jgn bandingkan diri dgn kwn kwn yg gaji 15k tapi jmpa 3bulan sekali. Rezeki dia sabar berseorangan 3bulan, then dia boleh reap his/her happiness dgn tidur 5d4n hotel St Regis Langkawi. Itu rezeki dia. You do you. Husband dia maybe poket tebal tapi muka tak hensem anak semua ikut muka dia. Itu rezeki dia. You do you. Husband dia kaya raya duit juta juta tapi umur dah 60, kadang kadang boleh bangun kadang kadang langsung tidak..so you do you.

 

Masa masa susah kita cuba juga untuk memudahkan org lain, kalau bukan dgn duit, dengan kudrat, dengan know how kita. Kalau tak boleh memudahkan, cukuplah cuba elak untuk menyusahkan. Betul kadang kadang kita terlalu letih emosi dan tubuh boleh membuat kan hati org lain terluka dgn kata kata kita, jadi sentiasalah terbuka meminta maaf sesama sendiri, dan yg penting, pisahkan urusan kerja dan peribadi..kalau marah dgn org hal kerja, keep it professional, kita marah sebab kerja sahaja tp kalau diluar kerja dia ttp kwn kita, rakan sejawatan kita, ha begitulah


So yeah, konsepnya mudah, do all you can do with all you have and leave it all to the Arrazaq to send His Rizq back to what you deserved. Yang ni saya baru sedar dan baru pegang setelah berperit belajar dari pengalaman lalu. Dan satu juga lagi benda yg saya belajar ttg jgn berkira kira dgn keluarga. Waktu kami ke utara tahun lepas, saya mmg tak limitkan berapa ibu mertua saya nak belanja saya bayar kan saja. You name it, makan ke, kedai ka, even we left my lil brother in law some knowing that he has none, and surprisingly, duit tu mcm ada ja..tak luak luak.mashallah miracle sungguh..Allahuakbar!

 

Moga kisah ni jadi iktibar dan ingatan utk diri sendiri ttg konsep rezeki. Jgn lah dok gelabah ayam kira duit org, pangkat org, jiran mana beli emas ka, kwn mana tukar kereta ka..because you dont know what they had done and gone through to deserve the Rizq of that much.


 Syukur seadanya. Hidup seadanya

 

Love

BBQ time at Sungai Tekala 2020

 






Salam all..rajin plak update skrg kann? Saja jalah kalau tak tulis nanti lupa..hehe. semua kenangan penangan pandemik ni mcm mcm yaa..tak semua manis, dan byk yang menguji kesabaran kita semua. ikutkan stress semua stress, kerja dari rumah mcm mcm tergendala, syukur masih lagi ada kerja.

Ni kami nak cerita kisah kami p mandi sungai. Tak boleh rentas negeri lagi tapi dh boleh rentas daerah pun syukur yg amat dah!

Exploring Selangor these days came to a not too bad results. We opted to go for BBQ-ing nearby and selected Sg Tekala. Actually it was our first time as a family to bbq outdoors and mandi sungai. Selama ni asyik tertangguh ja maybe sebab mikhail pun masih kecil jd susah sikit. Tekala ni pun oklah utk yg ada anak anak kecil.byk pondok disediakan dan persekitaran ada yg jaga (sapu, buang sampah etc). Kami gerak awal pagi dan sampai dlm pukul 9am masih tak ramai dan dpt cup tmpat syok sikit alhmdulillah 



Masa nak pergi ni ajak my SIL's family sekali and mak. Tapi mak biasalah byk agenda weekends. So bakar membakarlah kita. Bwk ayam perap and bihun goreng ja..tp laku habis sold out 3ekor ayam hehehe. Penangan air sejuk sangat.



Kami setup khemah umur 10thn kami ni..nak kena upgrade dh ni..saja nak landing and tukar baju. tp takdan landing mana semua kaki air. and kami blk awal juga lah dlm 3pm sebab dh nak hujan.takut kepala air.


Kids in the shallow area. ada dpn sikit deep area takat ketiak mommy.




My three boys take 5 makan marshmallow bakar.







Wakaf kami. Untung dpt wakaf ni. Besar. Ada family lain boleh tumpang seblah sikit makan n letak brg.




Alhmdulillah. Next time boleh picnic/bbq sungai lg..maybe kita cari area sg tua or kalumpang plak kalau masih tak boleh rentas negeri..hehe


Love
