Route to new office building

It’s
almost 1 month we have stayed in the new ruko. The first 2 weeks, I have no
problem going to the office every morning. I went out of the house at 7 AM and
arrived at around 7.40 AM. At first I said, OK I’m doing well here, I won’t be
late. But I was informed by my tukang ojeg that it was because school students
were having holidays, that’s why the streets were quiet, wait untill they go to
school again!

Oh uh…………..It
came true! I always arrived at 8.15 or 8.30 at the office. I’m always late!
Must think, must think……Tried to go early, 6.45 AM, and I arrived at 7.45 AM. On
the next day, same time, but I was late again, 8.20! What is this!!!!!!!!

I hate
the traffic jam here! The new location is good, but not the traffic ! All appoinment
schedules were messed up because of that traffic jam!

There are
3 areas where there’s jam. First, the street after BatuSari Junction to Gili
Sampingan junction, then kemanggisan area, and along Jl. Tanjung Duren.

Actually
I have an alternative route, but I may need to walk further and the possibility
to get the seat in KWK is small. Usually the seats will be full already.


I’m
lost here! Should I buy electric bike? Or buy motorbike? Nah…….to costly!

Love is in the air

I know it’s not February yet, the month of romance and love………What can I say, L-O-V-E has struck me before that….hehehe.

It’s great to feel this way again….Feeling happy, cheer up everyday, go to work with big smile on my face.
Hope he’s the one for me….Tired of the situation…Doesn’t mean just because of that I surrender to this guy…..Not at all…..

I’m a reasonable person, so every action should have reasons and logical thinking.

I won’t say more about this untill the time comes……..So, just wait for the next chapter.

Managing our roles

 

Interesting
topic…….I woke up in the morning,
in Seremban, Malaysia, on the day we were going to have team
building training.

I just wanted
to kill my time till I got shower, so I switched on the TV. Then on TV2, they
were having this programme “Positively AM”, hosted by Lina Teoh.

They were
talking and discussing about managing our roles. Which roles? Our roles as a
child, as a sister, as wife, as a husband, as an employee, as parents, and so
on…..Those kinds of role.

It really
suited my situation, made me thinking about my roles (a daughter,  a sister, a niece, an auntie, an employee)

They had
two guest speakers. In overall, the roles must be managed in balance, because
we play multiple roles. Sometimes we have to focus more on one aspect at a
certain time, because of our limitations. Nobody’s perfect. Sometimes we cannot
play a role well, but it doesn’t mean that we are not a good person. So, don’t
be guilty about that.

For
example:

I am a
mother with children. My mother is ill and one of my children is also ill at
the same time. What is my priority? Since I have siblings, I can ask them to
watch mother while I wouldn’t visit her frequently because I have to take care
of my child. I will tell my mother about this and ask her understanding. But in
other time, I will spend more time with my mother.

That’s
prioritizing and balancing the roles.

Do those
roles out of love, not see them as duties or tasks.

In
conclusion, to do a role, we must like that role and must know the reason we
are doing it.

Mengapa Aku Diuji ?

Manusia Bertanya  :  Kenapa aku diuji?
Qur’an Menjawab   :  Apakah manusia itu mengira bahwa mereka dibiarkan (saja) mengatakan:"Kami telah beriman", sedang mereka tidak diuji lagi?
(Al-Ankabuut : 2).      
Dan sesungguhnya Kami telah menguji orang-orang sebelum mereka, maka sesungguhnya Allah mengetahui orang-orang yang benar dan sesungguhnya Dia mengetahui orang-orang yang dusta. (Al-Ankabuut : 3)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Manusia Bertanya  :  Kenapa aku tidak diuji saja dengan hal-hal yang baik ?
Qur’an Menjawab  : boleh jadi kamu membenci sesuatu, padahal ia amat baik bagimu, dan boleh jadi (pula) kamu menyukai sesuatu padahal ia amat buruk bagimu; Allah mengetahui, sedang kamu tidak mengetahui. (Al-Baqarah : 216)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Manusia Bertanya : Kenapa aku diberi ujian seberat ini?
Qur’an Menjawab  : Allah tidak membebani seseorang melainkan sesuai dengan kesanggupannya (Al-Baqarah : 286)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Manusia Bertanya :  Bolehkah aku frustrasi ?
Qur’an Menjawab  : Janganlah kamu bersikap lemah, dan janganlah (pula) kamu bersedih hati, padahal kamulah orang-orang yang paling tinggi (derajatnya), jika kamu orang-orang yang beriman.
(Ali Imraan : 139)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Manusia Bertanya : Bolehkah aku berputus asa ?
Qur’an Menjawab  : dan jangan kamu berputus asa dari rahmat Allah. Sesungguhnya tiada berputus asa dari rahmat Allah, melainkan kaum yang kafir.
(Yusuf : 87)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Manusia Bertanya : Bagaimana cara menghadapi ujian hidup ini?
Qur’an Menjawab  : Hai orang-orang yang beriman,bersabarlah kamu dan kuatkanlah kesabaranmu dan tetaplah bersiap siaga (di perbatasan negerimu) dan bertaqwalah kepada Allah supaya kamu beruntung.
(Ali Imraan : 200)   
Jadikanlah sabar dan shalat sebagai penolongmu. Dan sesungguhnya yang demikian itu sungguh berat, kecuali bagi orang-orang yang khusyu’.
(Al-Baqarah : 45)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Manusia Bertanya : Bagaimana menguatkan hatiku?
Qur’an Menjawab  : Cukuplah Allah bagiku; tidak ada AIlah selain Dia. Hanya kepada-Nya aku bertawakal 
(At-Taubah : 129)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Manusia Bertanya : Apa yang kudapat dari semua ujian ini?
Qur’an Menjawab  : Sesungguhnya Allah telah membeli dari orang-orang mu’min, diri dan
harta mereka dengan memberikan surga untuk mereka 
(At-Taubah : 111)
