Bila Munira tulis poem....
No need to scrutinize my diary to know about me,
You know how lazy I am,
Lazy to write,
Lazy to blog,
But not in relating my daily life to you,
Love to talk to you,
Nothing to hide either,
You're just like my diary....

About My Photography
Photography is my hobby, and wedding photography is my genre. Why I choose wedding photography? Hmm...coz opportunities always comes and somehow it is good to have ladyphotographer to shoot wedding rather than man coz it is more appropriate and halal to shoot the bride when she's being put make-up. Wedding photography is just my part time, I'm doing another job as my full time.
I used to learn from Ashraf Saharuddin, he taught me formally about basic photography. I attended his class when I was studying in IIUM (UIAM) or better to put this way, he allowed me to attend his class. hehe...The photography skill class is actually a cocu subject and it is a credited subject but at that time I already completed other cocu subject which I think useless and cannot be implemented after I graduated. Then I asked permission from bro Ashraf to join his class. Then I learned from him for 2 semesters; basic and studio photography.
At the same time I have my personal sifu whom I always ask stupid questions.haha...He is like my walking reference. I am really lucky to have him as my sifu. He has guided me since the time I decided to buy DSLR until future.hehe...His fb name is Zuhri Iskandar, sounds like my brother yea? Well, he is my adopted brother la, my sifu, my motivator, my friend. In short, he knows anything about me. Maybe you've never recognised him as a pro but it's enough to say that Kamalia Kamal also learns from him since she was a beginner until now and future.He has very broad knowledge in photography. He used to shoot corporate event etc.
I also used to attend Kamalia Kamal class for half day. Got to learn about photolicious style of outdoor potraiture.
Now I'm in DSPCreative team. The team was established by Kacang Botol Crtv and me. Now our team consists of 6; 3 photographers, 1 designer, 1 make-up artist and 1 promoter.hehe...We focus on wedding including banner, invitation card, and make-up. DSP stands for Decent Style Photography, we intend to shoot the wedding in decent style as allowed by Islamic rules. I also have a friend who is a tahfiz and photographer whom I seek advice if there is doubt whether the photo is appropriate to be published or not, the friend is Mior Imran. He is writing a book entitled Fiqh Fotografi that will be published by PTS soon, InsyaAllah.
What else to say...I am not a pro, I am still learning. I focus on photography rather than editing. I do edit my photos but not excessively. I would appreciate if you could give comments on my photos (you can pm me as well) coz I would like to know different perspectives by other photographers. So that I will know how to improve my photo next time. In fact I feel uneasy if I do not know how to improve my photos. I am not a kind of person who is 'gile like', a like by a pro and outstanding photographer is more valuable than 100 likes by a layman or a beginner.
Ok la, habis dah membebel...When I start writing it will always be like this, panjang lebar...But do not expect me to be a talkative person. I do talk much to closed friends but not to a stranger or someone who is not closed to me.

Cool Bloging with a friend
Back to the main focus, the sweet moment was when we went to Mydin semata-mata JUST to buy Cool Blog. She didn't believe me when I said there is Cool Blog stall at Mydin. The car park was full so I just sadai je my car tepi jalan. In Ramadhan malam2 pun sesak jugak Mydin ye...TTC was more crowded since there was Raya festival sale there.
Aigoo...sweet moment x hbs cerita dh merapu mende x sweet...Ok2, focus2...I think it is sweet when she asked:
BGJK: What flavour do you want?
me: Blur...What do you always buy?
BGJK: Bandung
me: Ok, buy me Bandung with pearl.
BGJK: Aiyoo..Don't 'follow' my taste la...
me: It's okay, I have never tasted bandung cool blog. Then what are you going to order for yourself?
BGJK: I feel like want to taste what you like too. What do you always buy?
me: Vanilla!!!
BGJK: Ok
Then....
BGJK: Sedapnye vanilla ni...just tasted like ice-cream...
me (dlm hati): Bandung ni rs cm air aku buat kt umah je...baik beli pearl je n kacau air kt umah...nasib baik la ko blanja...=)
Ape yg sweet? sweet bile I 'follow' what she likes and she follow what I like...hehehhe....

What do I think about cooking?
Cooking eh....hmm....cooking to me is neither a hobby nor interest, but a responsibility and sometimes satisfaction. I cook when I’m at home where there’s family to be fed, that’s responsibility. It is a satisfaction when I’m craving to eat something that is more delicious when it is self-cooked rather than buying it somewhere else. huhu... Wondering what kind of food do I mean eh? haha...For example jemput2, caramel pudding, paprik, sweet sour egg, laksa Sarawak, daging bistik and sayur lemak kulit rambai, since there’s no point to ask others to lead the cooking when I myself can cook them well enough. Not to mention other common lauk like masak merah, masak kicap and goreng kunyit.
Usually people ask ladies “pandai masak tak?” What should I answer then? “Define ‘pandai’. huhuhu...” Coz my mum said I cannot be considered as ‘pandai masak’ but ‘boleh masak’ and she also regards herself as ‘tak pandai masak’ though I view her as a good cook. Maybe she views those who is good in cooking is only those who are cooks by profession or those who manage to join Master Chef. huhu... But to me if people ask “pandai masak tak” and you answer “boleh la...” then it sounds to me like you only can cook rice and Maggi ONLY. huhu... So there’s a few views of ‘pandai’, or in other words it’s better to grade the level of proficiency. haha... Then I regard myself as a beginner who has enter this so-called activity for years and going to be in intermediate level... meaning I can cook in order to sustain life. Better to put it this way, if you live with me you won’t die or starving even if there’s no restaurant around. huhu...And so far people have never vomited after eating my cooking, and the food that I cook has never been so salty. It used to be tasteless though because I’m so afraid to put salt into the cooking. But less salt will make you healthy. haha.. Most of the time when I cook something I will ask someone to taste it first so that it can be altered before it is served. Currently my cooking is getting better since already understood its rule of thumb. In fact, I like to cook according to general rule of thumb since I’m not good in tasting. The rule of thumb I mean here is like how much sugar and salt do people put generally, this shows that I can’t cook for feast. huhu...I can only cook for my family with that general rule of thumb.
Hmm.. Frequently people view me as someone who doesn’t know how to cook. Is it true? Well, if I have never cooked at your sight it doesn’t mean that I can’t cook. Like I said earlier cooking to me is not an interest or a hobby. It is just a responsibility and satisfaction. When I stay at a rent house where there are so many restaurants next to my house, I don’t feel the need to cook. In fact, I’m so lazy to cook for myself coz I feel like tasting all the foods available there. If I cook I always refer to my note book, kind of not confident with my skill and afraid I would miss the ingredients. Like I said earlier I don’t have a good tasting skill. Basically if you give me a food and ask me to figure out what are the ingredients, I can’t. Cooking is not an art to me, meaning that I don’t bother to slice the ingredient properly to be put in gravy etc because I think I’m not going to enter a cooking competition.
I like to eat cake but I don’t like to bake. In fact, I don’t like to ‘play’ with powder (but I like make-up.haha..) I know nothing about baking. I don’t like to bake kuih raya, bread, doughnut, pau etc that involve mixing the powder coz it appear to me like playing with clay. huhu... The only desert that I can cook well is caramel pudding, I love it so much. Well, I got a lot of compliments too from my colleagues who have tasted it... ^_^
Another thing is I don’t like onion, I think it is disgusting and smelly. If it is possible I will avoid from slicing onion especially when the cooking requires a large amount of it, eg for feast. Anyway a gravy will not be a gravy without onion, so what to do...have to slice it jugak la if needed... sigh~

I got 92 marks for this essay entitled How to Fast Track Performance or in other words Camane Nak Cepat Naik Pangkat
Is it important to get promoted in organisation? Of course, it is important since to get higher position means better salary and getting respect from other colleagues. The most important thing is you got acknowledgement from your boss for your contribution in the company. Is it easy to get promoted in an organisation? Some people take a very long time before getting promoted. There are also employees who are able to get promoted even they have just worked for two or three years. There are also some employees who never get promoted and hold the same position since they start working until retirement. How to make yourselves get promoted in a short term? It is not about flattering the boss, it is about showing our quality to the boss. What quality do we need to show?
First, show that you are self-disciplined, be punctual. Come early to the office everyday, because without realising your boss always takes note those who come late. Late comers will be seen as someone who does not have self-discipline and do not regard working as something to be taken seriously. Besides that, do not play truant during the office hour. If you want to go out for a while during the office hour, do ask permission from your boss. If you want to go out for half day for example going to hospital for medical check-up, do apply for leave a few days before it. Galaxy Supplies Sendirian Berhad encourages the employees to come 10 minutes early to the office. Those who come late will be marked red on their punch card. If anyone got red mark for 3 days consecutively, they will get warning from the boss.
Second is take initiative by contributing your ideas. Do not hesitate to share your ideas especially if there are problems or complications occur while brainstorming or in the meeting. Even it is not a great idea the boss will still look at you as someone who likes to contribute for the betterment of the company. Besides that, you need to alert with current issue inside and outside the company so that your idea will be more rational and acceptable. If you have ideas you can develop a proposal and give it to your boss. In Galaxy Supplies Sendirian Berhad it is encouraged that the employees contribute ideas during meeting for example meeting about how to improve our company’s environment.
Third is dare to take challenge. If you know there is coming task and has not been assigned yet to anyone, take initiative and volunteer yourself to do that task. Furthermore if there is tough work that is avoided by everyone, take the challenge to do the task. Hence the boss will look at you as someone who have enthusiasm in working and dare to take challenge. Other than that, do not ever refuse the task that your boss assigned you to do. Show that you can work under pressure. Do not hesitate to stay back and work overtime while other staffs already go home. Do your best in any field you are in and in everything you do. Do not hesitate to learn from your superior and ask for their advice. In order to get noticed you need to stand out and be different from the rest. In Galaxy Supplies it is encouraged that the staff volunteer themselves to present ideas. This will improve communication skills and show competency in communicating ideas.
Forth is finish the assigned task early. Do not procrastinate and do last minutes work because we cannot predict our future. What if out of the blue we have to encounter an urgent matter or any emergency on the due date? If it happens, the work will be delayed or you need to burden other people by asking them to finish the task on behalf of you. If one or two times maybe your colleague will consider and agree to help you but if it occurs frequently they will detest you. Try to finish your work two or three days earlier, so that your superior would have time to revise your assignment. Then you will have time to make it better. Being able to finish your task quickly shows that you are competent in your job and ready to take new responsibility.
Fifth is take initiative to improve your skills. Always give new element in your work so that it will be better than previously. Take initiative to sit for special examination or courses in order to get credential. When you have credibility you will be more trusted to accomplish a task, besides clients will be more confident to deal with you.
In conclusion, all staffs in Galaxy Supplies Sendirian Berhad should apply these criteria in their work life so that they will be a great asset of the company. If all staffs apply these, the company also will be more productive and can achieve their vision to be the number one office equipment supplier by 2015.
