Please.. Please..Please..Never Forget Palestine in Our Prayer

Assalamualaykum wbt,




While we are still in grief from the NZ Christchurch Mosque attacked and several other attacked on mosque and Muslim around the world. Let's not forget about Palestine my friend. They are now under attacked. In fact today has been 4 days since the attacked by the "Israhell"





"The rocket attack destroyed a residential home in the community of Mishmeret, north of the city of Kfar Saba, wounding six members of the family.

Israel's ambulance service said it treated seven people overall, including two women who were moderately wounded. The others, including two children and an infant, had minor wounds.

The sounds of air raid sirens jolted residents of the Sharon area, northeast of Tel Aviv, from their sleep shortly after 5am (03:00 GMT). A strong sound of an explosion followed."


Reported by Al Jazeera, 

I'm not sure about the number of victims. But most probably it will increase day by day. Allahuakbar.
Let us not forget them in our prayer.

Jummah Mubarak!

My Secret Inner Peace




Po: Master Shifu what are you doing?
Shifu: One of Oogways’s final teachings
Po: Wow, awesome – what was that?
Shifu: Inner peace
Po: Awesome, inner peace, that’s cool – inner peace of what?
Shifu: It is the next phase of your training. Every master must find his path to inner peace. Some choose to meditate for 50 years…


Quoted from my favourite movie of all time. Kung Fu Panda! I haven’t failed to watch every series in cinema. This movie got so many good things to learn from it. Kudos to Kung Fu Panda’s team. 

In Kung Fu Panda 2. Remember how hard Po is struggling to claim his inner peace. At first he thought it was just another Kung Fu technique and not something that he can find on the inside. He pushes and pushes but still struggles to conquer his enemies. Only when he finds that inner peace (a place of forgiveness and acceptance) is he able to dance the same dance as Master Shifu. 


So, have you got yours? 




This is just a remark on what is happening to me lately. I thought I was OK with the fact that someone is not happy with me. Someone always talk behind my back. I thought I was OK knowing that there are some people who don’t like me. I took a deep thought. 



I can’t ensure that everyone that I see and everyone that I met would like me. I was really nervous when I got into this situation. It’s not the first time. I had experience this kind of situation for many time. I just don’t understand. Even if we work together as a team, but not everyone is happily like to be working with you (myself). They see you as a rival, when you have done a good job. They see you as a sucker while you trying very hard to complete your job in time. They see you trying to get your boss attention and get a good grade in your performance. This type of people don’t want to improve themselves but simply blame other people who have done better than them. I came here to work, I came in peace but still, people are taking it differently. Can’t you see that I’m also struggling to be at my level right now? These people are easily blame me when they are not performing just because I did performed my task. How unfair! 


Do I have to lower down my pace just to be in line with you? I bet, you would not like it also. I just don’t know what to do to satisfy you. 

So how can I have Inner Peace while I’m not at peace? 





When I saw Po’s picture, I came to realise what Po had teach me. When Po is struggling so hard to learn Kung Fu while Shifu and the Furious Five are trying to kick him out. They were actually really mean and cold to him while he was adjusting himself into the team. But he didn’t gave up. He came to realise his purpose to use his energy, his gifted skilled and his destiny to help others in need. He finally found the Secret Ingredient. I’m so happy that Po does have to change himself just to be fit with others. 



Tai Lung: You can't defeat me! You're just a big fat panda! 

Po: I'm not a big fat panda. I'm THE big fat panda. 


So, I‘m just going to move on with this. Take it easy and do my part. I’m going to use my energy for a useful thing. It’s not easy to satisfy people. Hence, I’m not going to satisfy you. I’ll do my best because the job is the ‘Amanah’ (responsibility) to me, I do it because of Allah. Only Allah can justify my act. 

Well, it’s actually easy to make friends, but to get a genuine friend it’s not that easy. So, I’ll just forgive everything that you have done to me. I won’t let this negativity impact me. I think I have found my inner peace. 


"Your real strength comes from being the best you you can be. "

"Who are you?"

"What are you good at?"

"What makes you, YOU?"



Like the Po says, There is no charge for awesomeness and attractiveness! 



P/S : I’m awesome, and you’re not! Sorry, but that’s not my problem. Get a life dude! 

Skadoosh!!

NZ Mosque Tragedy ~ My Heart and Soul is in Grief

Bismillahirrohmanirrohim..
I will never get over this tragic attack.


I was not even there but my heart and my soul are with them. I was crying like a child when I red the news, I googled all news channel just to get the update story.

Dear my brother and sisters, wherever you are, you are in my Dua (prayer).


I was really, really frustrated, sad and devastated, lost, almost given up of this unfair treatment of Muslim around the world.

We are just like you are (White, Brown, Yellow, Black people or whatever colour you are). We are normal people who just want to live our life, we just want to perform prayer, demonstrate our religion by wearing Hijab or Serban, covering Aurah, wear modest dresses, have beard because it's Sunnah, but that is considered extremist! 

My brothers and sisters were killed in Palestine.
Muslim and Christian Palestinians alike have been the subject of systematic ethnic cleansing in their own homeland now under the occupation of the European colonial enclave of Israel.

My brothers and sisters were killed in Syria.
First and foremost Bashar al-Assad (and his Russian and Iranian backers) who are responsible for the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Syrians and driving the rest to refugee camps in and out of their devastated homeland.Genocide is like everyday happened in Syria and yet nobody cares.

My brothers and sisters were killed in China.
The UN reported that more than one million Uighurs are in detention in "counter-extremism centres" and at least two million are in "re-education camps". Muslims forced to drink alcohol and eat pork in China's 're-education' camps.

My brothers and sisters were killed in Myanmar.
The massacre of Muslim-majority Rohingya in Myanmar under the watchful eyes of the Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi has horrified the world but been kept apace for years now.

My brothers and sisters were killed in India.
The roots of Hindu violent mobs attacking Muslims in India is of course as old as British incitement of communal violence to sustain their own rule.

My brothers and sisters were killed in Bosnia
Not to forget this horrible history. More than 8,000 Muslim men and boys were killed in the town of Srebrenica by Bosnian-Serb forces in July 1995.

And after all killing and Muslims cleansing around the world and yet we are the one who have been called Terrorist!

How hateful is the world towards Muslims.
How unfair treatment has been given to us.
Why do you hate Muslims so much? 
Are we are not human like you? 

To those extremist, white supremacist, racist, Islamophobic there will be one day, you will realize that Islam is the true Religion to all mankind. Islam meaning is Peace. Islam is the way of life. Assalamualaikum that we address everyday to other Muslim is a prayer by the meaning of "Peace be upon You." How can this peaceful religion support terrorist?? Check your fact correctly my friend. Not from the biased Media. Seek the truth, you will find the truth. 

I hope that when a Non-Muslims read this, it will knock your curiosity to find the truth about Islam. A simple example, who started the world War I & II ? Is it a Muslim?? Sept 11 attack does nothing to do with Muslim, it's a conspiracy, check the fact and the truth. Stop blaming Islam for everything bad happened to the world. A bad Muslim does not representing the whole Islamic constitution and believers. ISIS is NOT ISLAM. SYIAH is NOT ISLAM. Terrorist has no religion. There's no religion including Islam ask their believer to kill other believers! 

Find the truth about Muhammad Rasulullah SAW. The Prophet, peace be upon him, had non-Muslim neighbors and family members who he loved, cared for, and had strong bonds and relationships with.  He is the evident that Islam do not teach to fight people simply based on their faith. If Islam taught Muslims to kill and hate all non-Muslims simply because of their faith then He should have been the first to do it. However, that was not the case. 

The Quran clarifies the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims as being one that is based on love and compassion. The Quran states Allah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allah loves those who deal with equity. (Quran 60: 8).

This verse makes it clear that the basis for fighting is not religion, but defense against those who attack Muslims for simply being Muslims. Although Islam allows Muslims to fight those who attack them, it requires Muslims to be fair and just even with their enemies.

Whatever happened to us was granted by Allah. I'm not saying Allah being so harsh to us. No! Does Allah permit this violence happened? No! But everything happened with a reason behind it. Every cloud has a silver lining. I heard from the news that more and more people are accepting Islam, the aftermath is more non-believer will start asking and studying about Islam. My wishes to those who support the Muslim community, who gives compassionate and pay tribute to the lost family, I pray that Allah will bless and shower you with Hidayah. Indeed, this is the greatest victory over the tragic incident and lost. Allahuakbar, May Allah protect us all.

~to all the Martyr, May Allah grant you the highest ranks of Jannah~

Recent update from Wisma Putra yesterday confirmed that the young Malaysian was killed in the shooting.

Innalillahiwainnailaihi rojiun, Al-Fatihah (Let us recite it together) to Allahyarham Haziq Tarmizi, a Malaysian victims of the NZ Mosque attack. My deepest condolences to his family. May Allah grant him the highest ranks of Jannah."

I'm just a simple muslim women who live in Malaysia, Spread the Love not the Hate.

Fitrah Manusia Buat Kesalahan ~ Boleh Di Terima Pakai Ke?

Assalamualaikum, Konichiwa Dunia!


Sejak mendengarkan lagu Taakaki Terry (pemuda Jepun yang boleh bertutur Bahasa Melayu) ni, hati jadi jatuh suka pada rentak dan lirik lagunya. Lagu ni seakan-akan lagu Assalamualaikum dari Faizal Tahir. Nama pun composer yang sama. So, boleh expect la kan. 

OK la, ada masa yang sekejap ini, aku nak coretkan sesuatu sebagai peringatan pada diriku dan sesiapa yang membaca coretan ini. Niatku cuma satu, agar ada orang beroleh kebaikan daripada perkongsian ini. 

Baru-baru ni kita dengar ada golongan artis atau selebriti yang membuat pusingan U-Turn berubah dari yang baik ke arah yang sebaliknya. 

Ada yang fitrahnya lelaki, kemudian berubah jadi Jejanita (wanita jadi-jadian), kemudian membuat penghijrahan kembali menjadi lelaki namun kini berubah semula kepada Wanita Jadian. Hadoi! Pening nak digest. 

Ada juga wanita yang mula-mula tampil tidak berhijab, kemudian bersyukur akhirnya berhijab dan kemudiannya membuka hijab semula. Malah bukan seorang dua yang memusingkan layar mereka, sudah jadi trend agaknya. Nauzubillah. 

Bukan nak bahankan mereka, jauh sekali nak mengaibkan sesiapa. Tetapi disebabkan mereka ini golongan yang mencari dan diberi publisiti makanya kita akan mendengarkan cerita mereka ni dada-dada akhbar. Namun satu yang kita perlu ingat, jangan pernah mengeji mereka kerana kita juga tidak dapat meneka apa yang akan berlaku di masa hadapan. 

“Doakan yang baik-baik sahaja”. (Kata Nitizen yang berhati mulia). 

Biasanya mereka yang belum berhijab akan berkata, mereka belum bersedia, tak nak pakai hijab kerana paksaan. Bila dah berhijab, kemudian bercerita tentang penghijrahan mereka. Dan apabila membuka semula, atas alasan apa? 

Jadinya, rata-rata alasan tak nak menipu diri sendiri, nak mencari kebahagiaan diri sendiri, ingin menjadi diri sendiri. Habis selama memakai hijab ni, mereka jadi siapa? Jadi Neelofa ke? Jadi Siti Nurhaliza ke jadi Wardina ke? Habis hijab tu sebenarnya untuk pemakaian siapa? Tak faham aku. 

Dan sebenarnya pemakaian hijab tu tidak wajib. Yang wajibnya menutup aurat. Itu perkara pertama yang perlu kita fahami. Batas aurat seorang wanita dan lelaki. Cerita pasal aurat ni dah banyak kali aku utarakan dalam entri-entri yang lalu : 

Cover Your Aurah ~ Because You're Worth It! - Wednesday, May 17, 2017

Soalnya, atas alasan apa lagi bila kita buat pusingan U-Turn ni? Kita bukan tak tahu hukum Allah, bukan tak pernah belajar tentang bab aurat. Namun kita sambil lewa tentang hal ini. Dengan semudah berkata perkara ini antara diri kita dengan Allah. Sedapnya jawapan. Allah memang Maha Mengetahui isi hati kita, keikhlasan kita. Allah memang Maha Faham diri kita berbanding diri kita sendiri namun semudah itu kah kita memberi alasan untuk mengingkari suruhan Allah? Seram bila dengar. Buat dosa, buat maksiat dan berkata urusan ini antara dia dan Allah. Pergh! Padu betul jawapan kat dunia ni. Sedarkah diri kita ini cuma hamba sahaya? Apa layakkah seorang hamba berkata begitu dengan Maha Pencipta? Fikirkan sendiri. 

"Mereka mengetahui nikmat Allah, kemudian mereka mengingkarinya dan kebanyakan mereka adalah orang yang ingkar kepada Allah" 

(An-Nahl:83) 

Ok fine, semua orang tak lari dari berbuat salah. Memang betul. Ini memang fitrah. Tapi fitrah jua membawa kita kembali ke jalan-Nya. Teringat pada suatu cerita oleh seorang Ustaz dalam ceramahnya di YouTube. Mengenai seorang Imam yang berbelas tahun berbakti pada Masjid di kariahnya. Setelah berkhidmat punya lama, tiba-tiba beliau jatuh sakit. Dalam 2 bulan terlantar, beliau tak mampu lagi ke Masjid. Setelah beliau kembali sihat, beliau meneruskan rutinnya ke Masjid untuk bertugas. Namun, beliau sangat kecewa kerana tugasnya telah diambil alih oleh Imam yang lain. (ye la, takkan berbulan Masjid takde Imam kan). Oleh kerana terlalu kecewa dan terasa hati, beliau kemudiannya memutuskan tidak lagi ke Masjid (boikot Masjid tu). Dan paling tak disangka, beliau berubah menjadi seperti orang lain, beliau berseluar pendek, tidak lagi solat sehingga ke akhir hayat. Ianya diceritakan semula oleh anak beliau sendiri kepada Ustaz itu. Seramkan? Benar, Allah tak lihat permulaan kita tapi pengakhiran kita yang paling utama. 

Jadinya kalau permulaan kita teruk, tiba-tiba Allah datangkan Hidayah pada kita untuk berubah. Takkanlah kita mahu berubah menjadi teruk semula kan? Seram bila dengar, tapi itu semua ujian Allah pada kita. Sejauh mana kita boleh istiqomah atas perubahan baik kita. Dan sebenarnya berubah itu mudah, istiqomah itu yang payah. Nak jadi orang baik, senang saja. Hari ini jadi penjahat, esok boleh jadi warak. Tapi, bolehkah berterusan jadi warak? Itulah ujian sebenar kita. 


Oleh itu marilah kita selalu amalkan doa ini. 

“Wahai Tuhan kami! janganlah Engkau memesongkan hati Kami sesudah Engkau beri petunjuk kepada kami, dan kurniakanlah kepada Kami limpah rahmat dari sisiMu; Sesungguhnya Engkau jualah Tuhan yang melimpah-limpah pemberianNya." 
(Ali Imran:8) 

Enough writing, marilah kita saling ingat mengingati. Boleh jadi mereka yang buat U-Turn hari ni jadi lebih baik dari kita di masa hadapan. Semoga Allah selalu memilih kita untuk menjadi hambanya yang sentiasa cuba menjadi yang lebih baik. Semoga perjalanan hidup kita setiap waktu adalah ke arah yg lebih baik. Doakanlah agar hidup kita, keluarga dan sahabat-sahabat kita supaya tergolong dalam golongan yg mendapat hidayah Allah. 

"Ya Allah…janganlah Engkau bolak-balikkan hati2 kami setelah Engkau memberi hidayah pada kami…." 


"Ya Allah...matikanlah kami dengan sebaik-baik kesudahan dan janganlah Engkau tamatkan keatas kami dengan seburuk-buruk kesudahan.

Kepada para wanita semua. 


(Yang berada di Jalan Lurus atau yang buat U-Turn atau yang masih Sesat di Jalan.. semualah! sebab semua wanita muslim itu wajib tutup aurat walau apa alasan pun!) 

Jemput singgah www.syarifahsyifa.com dan belilah shawl dan instant shawl untuk pemakaian yang lengkap. Tutup aurat. Labuhkan tudung ke dada. That’s no.1 rule!

Review : Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck (Cetakan Yang Entah Keberapa)

Assalamualaikum wbt.

Selesai bacain novel gratis sepanjang zaman ini. Tulisan Buya Hamka begitu meruntun jiwa yang kosong dari bahasa-bahasa lama. Diri agak terkesan dengan penceritaan beliau. Biarpun adakala bahasanya begitu asing dan kadang kala terdapat beberapa perkataan yang tidak difahami kita orang Malaysia, namun terasa malah amat gampang membaca helaian demi helaian isi cerita ini dan memahami jalan penceritaannya.

Hah? begitu berubah bahasa aku setelah habis katam membaca novel terkenal ini. Buku ini bukan asing bagi aku. Aku sudah mengetahui tajuk dan sebahagian isi buku ini sejak aku kecil lagi. Ia salah satu buku kegemaran Almarhum ayahku. Ayah punya cetakan awal, buku itu masih diikat dengan benang dan berkulit keras. Kertasnya juga sudah lusuh. Kalau masih ada, sudah jadi barang pusaka.

Ini cetakan yang aku baca.

Ini pula sebahagian cetakan-cetakan yang ada, tapi masih tak jumpa buku cetakan punya Almarhum Ayahku.






















 


















Yang aku punya sudah cetakan yang entah keberapa. Namun, isi kandungannya tetap sama. Setelah habis membacanya cuma dalam satu hari, aku kini mengerti apa itu kesusasteraan bahasa. Begitu indah bait-bait bahasa lama. Walaupun ada kesukaran untuk memahami sesetengah perkataan namun, aku dapat menangkap dan memahami seisi cerita ini. Akhirnya aku faham kenapa Ayah begitu menyayangi buku miliknya itu. 

Umum mengetahui cerita ini, mungkin aku sahaja yang tak tahu. Sedikit sinopsis cerita ini, kisah ini berkisarkan kisah cinta dua darjat. Kisah Zainuddin, orang terbuang dek kerana keturunannya Minangkabau-Bugis-Mengkasar, jatuh cinta pada kesantunan dan kejelitaan Hayati orang yang jauh lebih berketurunan dan beradat tinggi di Padang Panjang tempat asal usul Zainuddin. Mereka bertemu, berutus surat dan menyulam kasih walaupun dalam keadaan ditentang keluarga Hayati menyebabkan Zainuddin diusir dari kampung itu. Nak cerita lagi? Tak best la kan, baca sendiri baru boleh feel.

Apa yang membuat aku suka adalah penceritaan yang detail mengenai keadaan masa itu membuat minda kita pergi ke zaman di mana Zainuddin merenung nasibnya di permatang padi, melihat langit jernih, air sungai mengalir sejuk, melihat keindahan sedari jauh puncak Merapi. Aku dapat membayangkan betapa cantik dan indahnya kampung Pandang Panjang itu. Di mana keindahan itu ditambah bilamana terlihat Hayati pulang bersama gadis-gadis lain setelah tamat kelas agama. Keadaan malam yang indah, di mana Zainuddin menulis surat-suratnya. Seriously, it's a time machine. 

I seriously recommend this novel to you out there. I'm not a novel lover dan aku tak pernah beli buku novel sebab bagi aku, semua cerita novel dipasaran ini kisah cliche untuk mengetuk pintu hati pembaca agar berkhayal dengan lautan cerita cinta buat-buatan yang pada realitinya jarang berlaku. Kisah orang kaya jatuh cinta dengan perempuan miskin, Tuan besar dan orang gaji, Orang bandar dan perempuan kampung, Orang kacak dengan perempuan kasar. Itu semua cliche. Cubalah baca buku Buya Hamka ni, baru kalian akan mengerti apa itu CINTA.

Cinta bukan dizahirkan dengan couple seperti dalam novel-novel remaja masakini. Banyak persoalan yang diutarakan masih relevan untuk renungan kita. Tentang cinta, tentang agama, adat, budaya dan pendirian dan macam-macam lagi.

Aku sangat suka membaca surat-surat Zainuddin, alangkah bahagianya jika orang berutus surat begitu kepadaku (tapi di zaman ini, memang tak la kan). Aku paling suka membaca surat Zainuddin ketika dia menegur Hayati yang ditemuinya di malam pesta di Batipuh. Dimana tika dia bertemu Hayati, dia sama sekali terkejut dengan penampilan Hayati malam itu. Hayati yang tika itu terkena kejutan budaya dengan memakai pakaian yang tidak menggambarkan ciri-ciri wanita solehah sejati. (faham sendirilah). Ini kerana pengaruh rakan sebaya dia yang agak kebaratan. (ok, taknak citer lagi - sila baca sendiri). Teguran Zainuddin itu sangat lembut dan berhemah. Bukan kerana dia cemburu, tetapi lebih kepada ingin melindungi kekasih hatinya.

Sebenarnya aku sangat mengagumi Hayati pada mulanya, namun setelah beberapa chapter, telahanku tersasar. Pendirian Hayati membuatkan aku membenci karakternya. Dia adalah simbol perempuan masa kini yang senang goyah oleh harta dan pangkat. Agak terkesan juga kerana diceritakan dipermulaan bahawa Hayati itu wanita yang tinggi ilmu agamanya dan penuh adat dan santun. Tapi, semudah itu dia meninggalkan Zainuddin demi mengharap akan wang dan harta untuk kebahagiaan berumah tangga. Separuh mati juga Zainuddin sakit dan kecewa kerana pernikahan Hayati itu. Sehingga membawa kepada kejayaan Zainuddin sebagai penulis juga. Kedukaan dan sengsara itu ditukar menjadi ilham untuk menghasilkan karyanya selepas itu. Dan dia menjadi orang ternama. 

Dan tulusly, aku suka pengakhiran cerita ini di mana Hayati menjadi korban kecelakaan Kapal Van Der Wijck. Huhu..bukan kerana dendam pada Hayati tetapi she deserve the end like that. (oh, kejamnya aku). So, moral is, bacalah buku ini dengan hati yang terbuka. Hahaha.

Ok, this is my favourite novel! Novel pertama yang aku suka ialah Warisan. A heavy love story back in 1940s, this is seriously not for those who love stories like , Suamiku Encik Sotong, Suamiku  Mr Playboy, Mr Arrogant, Mr Pilot, Mr CEO, Mr Tengku Putra dan seangkatan dengannya. Agaknya aku ni sejenis suka buku-buku lama je kot..haha..who's with me? say I!

Dan aku cukup tak suka dengan filem adaptasi novel sebab 99% cerita tak sampai feeling nya seperti dalam novel. Aku pun tiada hajat nak tengok filem Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck ini. Aku yakin tiada siapa pun dapat menghayati watak Zainuddin dan Hayati yang sebenar-benarnya. Bagaimana Zainuddin dapat menahan perasaannya ketika bertemu semula dengan Hayati. Bagaimana pula Hayati yang menyesal dengan perbuatannya pada Zainuddin dan diterangkan semula di dalam surat terakhir itu begitu membuatkan pembaca memaafkan Hayati. I'm telling you, you should read it by yourself ok.

Alright, till the next review !
Wassalam.

2019 : LinkedIn..LinkedOn..LinkedOut


#akaknaktegur #careeradvice #HRsisthur



It has been months that I didn't open my LinkedIn. (since I started my new job I guess). But today when I open it, I got sooo many email request to add friends. Most of them are all fresh grads. 



Surprisingly, most of them asking for a connection to submit their CV. Weirdly, I didn't do recruitment, I never was! Although I'm in HR line, I never mentioned recruitment in my page. Can't you all read?? Or these young engineer or young grads doesn't know what is there in HR functions? Not all HR doing recruitment job. Recruitment is only one part of Human Resources function. Can you be more mindful?

This will lead to a wrong job request, and delay your chances to get a job. If I got time, I will forward your CV to the right person. If not, it will sit there in my inbox as I got nothing to do with it. I have to reply them saying that I'm not the right person for you to submit your CV. And CV is a P&C (private & confidential) thingy, don't simply send your CV to anyone my dear. Only send your CV when the recruiter is asking for it. 


My ‘adik-adik’ (brothers and sisters) who just graduated please take note on this. If you need a career advice I might be able to assist, but job application is not my thing. Please use LinkedIn for the right purpose. It is not only for a job application, but to learn from the massive sources of expertise. There are so many expert in LinkedIn locally and internationally would be very pleased to assist you if you are asking the right questions. Try and discover a new connection, build your own network professionally. Engage with the right people, right group and you will find there are so many good things and experience you can get through LinkedIn.

Back then, when I first using LinkedIn I got so many friend request asking to ‘berkenal-kenalan’ (get to know each other) in an informal way. Hahaha. They are using it the wrong way. This is not a dating site, hello! But overtime, people start understand the meaning of this site. This site is established for a professional connection. This is the top online site for professional, social and career networking.


LinkedIn allows you to connect with your work friends, old colleagues and you can see where they work and where they have been. When you are using it the right way, LinkedIn is actually your online Resume or C.V which showcases your abilities and recommendations. You can connect with your old uni friends and find out where they have worked and where they are now.

But now, I’m getting job application pulak. Fuhh! Why la. Just my 2 cents, to ‘adik-adik’ (brothers and sisters) please educate yourself on this basic job application process. If you didn’t have the chance to learn it during uni, just google it. There are so many career website for your reference. Get ready before any job application, do some research about the company before you go for an interview. Don’t be so clueless about it and ruin your chance to get the job. OK?

So, may this New Year 2019 will get you the job that you are desired. Good Luck and Happy job hunting! Your job hunting is start NOW!!
