Malaysia : Di sini lahirnya sebuah cinta

JOGET MALAYSIA

Datuk Panglima pergi membajak 
Ke tanah rata senja pulangnya 
Kalau Saloma orang yang bijak 
Negeri kita apa namanya 

Ikanlah keli di dalam perahu 
Oranglah buta tangkap buaya 
Kalau Cik Ramlee ingin nak tahu 
Negara kita nama Malaysia 

Ramalah rama di pohon duri 
Mati ditimpa si buah nangka 
Kalau Saloma orang bistari 
Bulan berapa Malaysia merdeka 

Anak benggali ke kebun nyonya 
Petiklah gambus anak Melaka 
Wahai Cik Ramlee ini jawabnya 
Tiga puluh satu Ogos Merdeka 

Ke pasar lama membeli serai 
Singgah bertanya Datuk Menteri 
Kalau Saloma orang yang pandai 
Di mana letak Ibu Negeri 

Anaklah bilal dari Mentakab 
Pergi ke Johor buat kenduri 
Cik Ramlee soal mudah dijawab 
Kuala Lumpur ibu negeri


One of my favourite patriotic song. ;) Selamat hari merdeka Malaysia sayang..
Walau seribu kesedihan menyelubungi pada tahun ini, yakinlah pasti ada cahaya di hujung jalan. Terima kasih kerana telah menjadi tempat berlindung terbaik buat aku dan juga keluargaku. Couldn't ask for more.

My Zalora experience

Just yesterday, I received a short and sweet email from Zalora asking my whereabouts since it had been quite some time that I did not purchase anything from them.

Apart from that...

this cute statement just melts my heart away. *quickly browse their website to find anything that I want need*

Unfortunately I don't quite remember anything that I need. Maybe a men's watch for my husband? No? He just bought new watch last week..! Oh god only if I had this email earlier.. Hehe..

Such a beauty.. Maybe I should add this in my wishlist and hopefully by his next birthday there would be some discounts ;) 

So, I end up with SKII set which is this set as my Nutox serum is almost finish...

This set contains Facial Treatment Essence (75ml), SK II clear lotion (30ml) and Facial Treatment Mask for RM 171.75 after discounts. Quite a bargain right..?

Last time I do COD with them but this time I paid online and just wait patiently for my parcel to come. Congratulations to Zalora for the super fast service they provide. This parcel had landed safely on my doorstep this morning. 

Quickly open it. Hehe..  

They also have the Brand Ambassador Program (BAP) for those interested.

Apa nak buat bila hilang luggage bag?

First time aku hilang luggage bag masa pergi Kota Kinabalu awal tahun 2014. Masa tu Air Asia baru operate dari KLIA 2. Sebab ini family trip, so aku incharge lah semua benda dari tiket sampai la ke check in. Bapa mertua yang sponsor tambang.

So memang aku tak sangka lah semua orang yang aku handle ok je dapat beg memasing. Aku ni yang tunggu bag tak kunjung tiba. Satu jam lepas tu ada satu lagi flight dari KL ke KK. Officer AA di KK cakap maybe luggage aku ada dalam flight tu. Warghhhh!!!

Akak ipar aku siap ambik luggage dia kat tangan orang lagi. Imagine kalau dia lambat sikit tah2 dah kena kebas luggage tu. Salah aku la jugak terhegeh2 dari imigresen ke tempat luggage. Confius jap sebab airport KK tu macam tak strict sangat. Tempat luggage dekat giler dengan gate keluar masuk tu. Ada je aku tengok orang luar yang bukan passenger selambe je masuk situ. So ada dua possibilities, either beg aku kena curi or memang beg aku tak naik kapal langsung.

So aku tunggu sejam untuk next flight. Ikut hati rasa nak balik KL terus je. Dengan period nye, pad aku sume dalam tu. Makeup la, baju untuk 5 hari. Ish! Sampai dah habis luggage next flight pun masih tak de beg aku. Bukan aku sorang je. Ade la 5-6 orang hilang beg dlm flight same dengan aku. Tau jela Sabah ramai tourist. Ade pelancong Jepun dengan anak lagi hilang beg terkial-kial nak explain rupe beg tu kat officer. Kesian la diorang kan.

Dah confirm beg aku takde, report jelah kat kaunter hilang bagasi tu. Bagi details beg, warna, anggaran saiz, jenis ape.. Sbb tu la pentingnye buat tag dekat beg. Nak membezakan beg lah. Salah aku jugak beg aku tu aku cuma letak password lock je. Beg baru tak teringat langsung nak tanda apa-apa.. Huhu.. So kitorang terus je perjalanan tanpa beg aku. Stress! No point tunggu lagi.

Aku n husband terus pergi mall cari baju or apa-apa yang patut. Makeup memang tak la. Penat jer susun baju untuk pakai harian end up hilang. Kena berabis banyak jugak la nak tak nak. So petang tu baru dapat call cakap bag aku masih di KL. Akan sampai ikut penerbangan malam. Apa-apa jelah aku pun dah beli sume keperluan aku kat sana. Jadi berdouble pulak. Tak boleh la nak tunggu sampai malam sebab kitorang bukan nak stay di KK. Nak g pulau lagi.. Isnin petang baru datang KK semula. Selasa balik KL. So aku bagi tau jelah aku ambik Isnin petang. Macam xde point aku bawak luggage. Huh.

So dah berjimba berhari-hari kat Sabah dengan takde sunblock bagai, memang horror lah percutian aku kat sana. Beza gila dengan percutian berdua dengan husband kat Kundasang sebelum tu. Taubat aku tak nak pergi ramai-ramai dah. Isnin malam tu baru ambik luggage. Bolehla pakai baju untuk balik KL esoknya. Ni baru dalam negara. Buatnya hilang luggage kat luar negara guna pulak eiro, pounds sterling mampuslah nak shoping benda emergency macam ni. Kalau aku tau aku sumbat jer satu baju nak balik masuk cabin. Huh!

Tapi kira nasib baikla jumpa balik sekurang-kurangnya. Dalam hati aku nak cakap goodbye dah sebab xnk letak harapan tinggi nak jumpa balik. Ramai je kawan2 aku hilang luggage tak jumpa2 ok! Masa nak ambik luggage tu aku tengok tempat luggage claim macam xde luggage aku. Rasa nak nanges haha.. Baru hilang luggage, belum hilang anak. Eei.. xmaula.. Apapun main point is kena tag lah luggage tu so that senang nak cari ke apa...

The Sims 4

The Sims 4 nak keluar dah yey! Aku ingat lagi masa kekecik dulu ada game build city camtu tak ingat nama best jugak main. Kena pandai nak letak industrial area kat mana, residential area, shopping area, facilities macam bus stop, polis, bomba, zoo, playground etc. untuk bandar yang kita bina tu. Every month kena decide nak suruh resident bayar tax berapa peratus. Kalau tinggi sangat nanti diorang lari pergi bandar lain end up buat riot lah apa lah... Best game tu. Kalau aku rasa nak demolish bandar bagi resident aku sakit hati aku buat jer fire ke, flood ke.. hurricane ke.. padan muka kau! hahahaha...

Makin lama ada lagi game best. The Sims 2. Siap boleh mandikan baby dalam sinki, kena kerja kuat cari duit, kalau ada expansion pack ada jer yang boleh bela pets, bestlah.. nak tukar baju kena beli dulu. Tak silap dalam 200 sehelai.. Tak ada automatik change baju mcm The Sims 3. Yang tak bestnya nak pergi rumah lain or tempat lain kena loading dulu. Lama ok! Pasal the sims 2 ni lah aku sanggup g lowyat upgrade RAM aku. RAM for Random Access Memory ok. Tapi aku suka Sims 2 sebab boleh buka perniagaan jual barang-barang, hantar anak pergi college.. pergi uni kalau rajin CGPA bagus haha..

Then keluar The Sims 3. Adik aku siap beli original version lagi. Benda best pasal The Sims 3 boleh pergi merayap sesuka hati satu town tak payah loading2. Boleh visit neighbour, belajar upgrade skills, emotions lebih realistik. Contohnya macam kalau lelaki tu kaki perempuan, satu neighbourhood akan tahu so dia susah la nak cari jodoh melainkan kalau redeem points kegembiraan hidup dia untuk jadi clean slate balik.

So sekarang nak keluar The Sims 4. Tak sabar nak tahu pembaharuan apa pulak kali ni. Tapi hopefully tak payahla sampai aku kena upgrade RAM lagi. Oh my... apa pun sanggup! Dah keluar demo build your sims. Memang realistik gila kalau buat muka boleh jadi macam Angelina Jolie ok. Nak buat muka kau pun boleh. sapa yang pandai grafik mesti jadi. Aku?? hmm.. yang hidung kecil, mata bulat, mulut nipis, putih, rambut panjang tu cantik la bagi aku hahahahaha...

Siapa yang gila The Sims mesti paham apa aku merepek ni. Ok lah bye

Did I grow up according to plan?

Since childhood, I know we have to live up to my dad's expectation. He would motivate, encourage, assure that the spirit to be successful is always high. I have 5 siblings including myself. I'm the eldest with four younger sister.

My dad is a kampung boy who manage to make it to overseas doing electrical engineering masters and degree. Since he were small he played with mud and climb trees. A real kampung boy I must say. However, I'm not as genius as he wish. Haha.. When I secretly flipped his degree result, my eyes nearly fall off its socket because I hardly see any B's on the paper. He got 3.72 CGPA almost made it to the first class honour during the time. No wonder he can jump to any companies as he wish...

My second sister, I think the only one who inherit his genius trait. She nailed UPSR with 5As, PMR with 8As, made it to MRSM Jasin (previously in MRSM Transkrian) got 10A1 and then took International Baccalaureate in Kolej Mara Banting as preparation for her medical studies in Galway University, Ireland. I think she never sees any B's in her life ever. Now a doctor already..

So, two of us doing Accountancy (me and the fourth sister), the third doing architecture and the youngest still in Form 1 Sekolah Seri Puteri. 

Three of us made it to MRSM (including myself, haha)but I am just average laaa.. Not as outstanding as other students. I think I am the kind of person who is quite stubborn, I hate engineering, the more my dad ask me to do it, the more I'm rebelling not to. Actually I know that I am not up to the standards to do engineering, maybe. Ok lah at least my husband is an engineer. He can kawan with my dad. When they start conversation during meals or anytime when we dine outside, I would go like O.O 

Obviously because I am too stupid to handle hahaha.. No lah ok, I just go with my dreams actually. Doing accounts is not bad at least for me, because it is still a professional by profession. Afterall, I already been qualified as a Chartered Accountant, so it wasn't that bad right? Haha.. If my kids were to pursue accounting, I would straightly ask them to do ACCA instead of degree for it's known worldwide.

Where would I go after this? Do I live up to my dad's expectation? I think it is 50-50 la kot. :p

How does it feels......

I can't wait for my husband to reach KL this week..! It had been almost five days ok. FIVE days he work at the platform. I can't even whatsapp him. Luckily they have fixed line there and 4 to 5 times a day he would call me but still.. I miss seeing him. Hehe.. This morning he flew by chopper just like the usual and I would go like.. Don't you feel gayat? If it were me, I would rather take the boat to make it to the land.

So, this Friday, I would go fetch him at the airport as usual :)

Where would we go this long weekend ya? Any idea? I'm thinking of Langkawi but ya.. surely it will be quite pack especially on long weekends like this. So we both decided to take extra leave on Tuesday hence the need for some vacation. My bawse went to Amsterdam and Greece for three weeks that's heaven yea right!! So where should we spend our weekend? Cherating, no? PD? When I go Redang, I swear I would never swim in PD ever again. Air PD warna coklat imagine! Dhla accomodation quite pricey. Melaka I just went there last week. Cameron, many times already, Genting with little toddler is a no-no, Penang is my hometown so no lah, maybe we should hibernate in the house instead. Haha.. Brrr.....

Selamat pulang my LOVE.

Sebab perempuan minta cerai

1) Suami tidak cukup mencuba

• Secara semulajadinya perempuan suka dipujuk, dimanjakan, disayang selalu. Kalau tak dibelai selalu pun sekurang-kurangnya tunjuklah suami masih menginginkannya seperti sebelum berkahwin dahulu. Sekali sekala ucapan rindu pun mampu meroboh benteng iceberg hati isteri yang tengah marah. Kalau bergaduh, suami langsung tak berusaha untuk memujuk, lama-lama mungkin jadi barah dalam rumah tangga bila mana ada lelaki lain yang sudi jadi pendengar setia.

2) Deraan fizikal atau mental

• Kalau tak dera fizikal, dera mental. Contohnya menghamburkan kata-kata kesat kepada isteri semasa bergaduh, memukul depan anak-anak, tak merasa bersalah bila memukul isteri, dan lain-lain penderaan. Mungkin sekali dua, lepas pukul minta maaf masih boleh terima. Tapi kalau dah setiap kali bergaduh berakhir dengan physical abuse, cinta dalam hati mungkin bertukar menjadi ketakutan terhadap suami.

3) Suami tidak memberi nafkah zahir/batin

• kategori lelaki lupa tanggungjawab. Zaman sekarang ada wanita yang lebih berjaya dari segi kerjaya berbanding suami. Tapi itu bukan tiket untuk lelaki mengabaikan nafkah isteri dan anak-anak. Bila mana isteri mula rasa semua tanggungjawab terpikul di bahu nya sendiri, syaitan mula lah memainkan peranan menghasut apalah gunanya membela suami yang seperti biawak hidup.Melainkan telah dipersetujui bersama bahawa tugas suami di rumah menjaga anak-anak dan isteri mencari nafkah tidak mengapalah. Tapi dalam agama sendiri menyatakan tanggungjawab memberi nafkah sebenarnya terletak di bahu suami. Ada je kenalan doktor pakar dan suami nya cuma dirumah menguruskan anak-anak sebab si isteri tak sanggup biarkan anak-anak dibela tangan orang asing. Wanita ni okey jer asalkan lelaki jaga anak betul-betul, bukan 24 jam menghadap SMS perempuan lain bila masa tu dah banyak sangat di rumah.

4) Krisis pertengahan usia

• Krisis mula berlaku bila anak-anak dah di universiti atau dah bekerja. Masa wanita itu tidak lagi sibuk menguruskan anak-anak dan anak-anak pula dah jarang berhubung dengan ibu. Ruang kosong ini pula diisi dengan berfacebook lalu terjumpalah kekasih lama muda-muda dulu. Terlanjur berjumpa menerusi facebook, nak pulak jumpa berdepan, face to face. Maka cinta lama berputik kembali. Serasakan tiada lagi tanggungjawab terhadap anak-anak, anak-anak pula sudah mula berdikari, dalam hati mula berfikir, aku patut berfikir untuk diri aku sendiri walaupun terpaksa lukakan hati suami. Ramai jer jadi macam ni. Know that u are damn annoying old woman! *vomit*

5) Tiada keserasian

• Walaupun bercinta sudah bertahun-tahun, baru setahun jagung berkahwin dah bercerai. Bila dah berkahwin baru sedar tak ada keserasian dalam hubungan. Lebih buruk lagi bila ada campur tangan orang tua yang masing-masing nak menegakkan anak masing-masing. Yang terkorban tentulah perkahwinan yang baru dibina. Kadang-kadang perempuan ni lancang je minta cerai bila bergaduh tapi tak semuanya berniat betul-betul nak bercerai. Ada je yang saja nak duga suami sayang ke tak kat dia. Sebab tu la talak di tangan lelaki. Ada je lelaki yang kaki mabuk, kaki layan pelacur then kahwin dengan perempuan yang bercinta dengannya bertahun-tahun. Zaman sekarang, percintaan jarak jauh tu biasa. Si perempuan pulak tak tahu aktiviti sampingan bakal suami yang satu ni. Bila dah tahu, berperanglah dan seterusnya bercerai.

Goods and services tax (GST)

Disclaimer : This entry is for my own reference only. I don't take responsibilities for any incurring events with regards of this entry from now on.

• GST
• Jenis barangan
• Kebaikan GST

At first, I don't understand what GST is. Apa bezanya dengan SST (Sales and Service Tax) yang ada sekarang? Forgive me for being ignorance tapi GST is everywhere now (2014) and I guess it's the time for me to look thoroughly what it is all about. Actually the first ever interview I've been after finishing my final paper in uni is with Ernst & Young as GST consutant back in 2010. No wonder why I did not make it in the second round as I have no idea what is it hahahaha... Whatever. It is good to know that the industry player is getting ready for this moment wayyyyyy back then.

GST

GST falls under indirect tax atau cukai tidak langsung. Registration deadlines for businesses with income more than RM500,000 is at 31st December 2014. The actual implementation is on 1st April 2015. However, for business which has turnover of less than RM500,000 have the voluntary option to register.

Failed to register can cause fine ranging from RM1,500 to RM 20,000 with effect after the date of official implementation of GST.

Those who register are eligible to charge GST to their customer, however, those who did not register have no other option but to absorb GST as consumer.

I can say that SST is single stage tax whereas GST is actually a multi stage taxation, with every level included such as manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and consumers

Types of supply

1. Standard rate supply (6%)
2. Zero rated supply - not collect GST on supplies but entitled to claim credit tax input used in the course of furtherance of business.
3. Exempt supplies - not collect GST. Not eligible to claim tax credit on input
4. Supplies not within the scope of GST - eg. service provided by government, sales incurred from a place outside Malaysia

The keywords to understand here is kredit cukai input atau input tax credit. I am too lazy to demonstrate in graphic but lets just say, for instance, a wholesaler (W) who is registered for GST bought its supplies from manufacturer (M) (also register for GST) for a value of RM 100,000. Therefore, in M's invoice stated that W have to bear GST of 6% (RM 6,000).

After that, W sold its supplies to retailer (R) for a total invoice value of RM150,000. That means, R have to bear GST of 6% as well (RM9,000). W is eligible for input tax credit of RM6,000 for supplies bought from M, which means the GST remit is RM 3,000 by wholesaler instead of RM6,000 (RM9,000 - RM6,000). Got it?

I can conclude that, in GST tax is fairly distributed all the way until it reaches the final stage in the chain which is the consumer. 

Kebaikan GST

By implementing GST, it will lower business cost, enhance global competitiveness, enhance compliance, reduce red tape, fair pricing, greater transparency.

It is obviously not me, myself making up all these points. When I understand GST, I know all the above is very logic. Why? Should I elaborate more? Hahahaha... 

1. Lower business cost. Remember that I point out about kredit cukai input? Yea, thanks u got the idea.
2. Enhance global competitiveness. Trading outside Malaysia tak diimpose GST. Adalah cukai lain tapi later lah ya..
3. Enhance compliance. I think so as semua companies yang nak charge GST are required to register.. Where?? Di Custom Dept. of course. Can use manual post, TAP system (Tax payer access point) or walk in je.
4. Reduce red tape. Secara automatiknya ya.. Maybe tapi mungkin awal-awal mesti ada juga karenah.
5. Fair pricing. Yes, because tax is distributed fairly along the chain.
6. Greater transparency. Sebab of course company nak claim input tax credit, so have to disclose invoice kat kastam lah or whatever way they disclose so that they will be eligible for that. Kalau SST ada jer mamak charge ok. Tanpa register ke Kastam whatsoever so pendapatan negara tu sedikit sebanyak terbocor sebab sebagai pengguna do u really know yang mamak tu ada bayar ke SST to kastam? Atau dia charge other income je for SST yang dia kutip tu. Tapi GST, hopefully senarai company yang register akan boleh disemak dengan cepat lah so that peniaga tak sesuka hati charge GST even tak register.

Happy day

Today definitely brings significant impact on my future.

Thus, I'll mark it as one of the happiest day in my life in the year 2014. Alhamdulillah for this opportunity. Yes, there's a lot to be done. Just bringg it on! :)

Hopefully in the next 20 years when I look back at today's date, I would be grateful that I don't waste this chance to improve myself for the sake of myself, my family, my race, my religion and my nation.

So just wish myself the best of luck.

Ya Allah luaskanlah rezeki ku dan seluruh ahli keluargaku. Amin..

Kurang tiga tahun

Tak terlambat lagi rasanya nak ucapkan selamat hari raya maaf zahir batin kepada kamu yang tak sengaja ter come across (whats the word?sorry) blog ngeng ini tanpa sengaja melalui Google or whatsoever la.. Kosong2 kita ya..

It's already been August 2014 but still.... Banyak lagi agenda yang belum dicapai. Aku andaikan tahun ni sebagai tahun mengubah diri dan sikap supaya menjadi wanita yang lebih matang. 2014 tak ada satu pun resolusi yang aku list down
...

Masa spring cleaning terjumpa diary aku yang aku hadiahkan kat boyfriend merangkap husband aku sekarang. Yikes! Baca balik apa yang aku tulis, I can conclude that I was so naive back then. Mimpi yang indah2 saja. Hahaha...

We were only 20 years old hehe... Buku penuh angan2. Nak ada anak 3 org lepastu cross sorang sebab rasa banyak. Tak sangka aku pernah macam ni. Seriously nak buang tapi husband tak bagi. Modal gelakkan aku la tu..

My ideal family back then is duduk dirumah yang ada halaman luas, ada 2 kereta one for him, one for moiii, weekends visit parents, and petang weekend minum tea together. Fairytale sangattt...

So now, after 7 years... We were totally different person, however the love is still strong as ever. Ya allah i love him. Tapi resolution aku untuk 2015 takkanla kebudakan macam 7 tahun lepas kan.. Harus realistik sikitlah.

Mission jangka pendek aku which is less than 3 years, but the efforts ke arah itu must be done now now now!

Before i reach the age of 30 by 2017, what i want is to be a better person in every ways, complete my professional cert that will commenced starting next year, try to conceive for second baby, and be healthy.

My long terms goal would be...
Performing hajj with my husband and my daughter before i reach 38, start my own firm before i reach 35, have savings of 12x times household monthly income, keeping our marriage solid and strong ever after.

Hopefully when I reach 35 I won't laugh at myself like what I did now to me the in my 20s. Erghh...!!!
(satu kerja nak bawak diary ni everywhere sbb taknak orang baca!)
