Smiling.. from ear to ear =)

I just realised something today and I feel totally good about myself. Hey, its not a sin to feel good about urself at times u know =). Its good therapy.

Anyway, what I realised is how much a simple smile and a simple hello can do wonders to people. Today is the day I finally understand by what people have been saying all along to me. "Smiling is the best and simplest sedekah you can ever give to someone"

I've always believed that everyday should begin with a smile. No matter how hard it is to get yourself out of bed, no matter how horrible you feel inside. You should smile and thank Allah for letting you live on.

I used to be a real grumpy person. Ask Aliya, she knows.. she called me her "garang Amirah" remember? ehe.. anyway, I learnt the true meaning behind smiling. It really can do wonders. Makes u calm and feel good about yourself when you realise how much your smile means to someone.

I have juniours saying that the thing they like most about me is my smile. And seniours saying they like my company coz I love to smile sincerely. Hey, what can I say? Cant blame me for feeling good about myself right? =)

Its really hard to see me not smiling u know. There was once when I didnt get enough sleep.. biase la, student MM assignment banyak, mane cukup tido.. ehe.. and I was grumpy alrite. Didnt smile all day. And every person that I passed would look at me funny. Why? Becoz usually I'd smile at them. The people who cared enough kept asking if something was wrong. ahahhaha.. still fresh in my mind how hard I laughed each time someone asked me if something was wrong. Goes to show how much a simple smile really means.

The most important thing in a smile is sincerity. People always see a fake one. Remember that.

I always try to smile eventhough inside I dont feel like smiling. Hey, why should you dampen other people's day just by being grumpy? Think about others before yourself. Smile for crying out loud! =)

As I keep saying, and never get tired of saying.. "Smile, for it can brighten a day of a million people"

p/s: cuba kira how many times I mentioned the word smile.. ehe =)

Demi Cinta Suci

Pernah hatiku luka pedih
Kerana dicalari cinta penuh duri
Lemas aku dalam dilema
Kata janji manis sungguh tak bermakna

Mencarimu kasih bagai mencari mutiara putih
Walau ke dasar lautan sanggup ku selami
Namun tak percaya apa yang telah aku terjumpa
Kau sebutir pasir tak berharga

Demi cinta yang suci
Ku rela korbankan kepentingan diri
Demi sinar bahagia
Ku hambakan diri pada-Nya yang Esa

Baru kini ku rasai nikmatnya cinta yang suci
Tiada terbanding dengan cinta yang kau beri
Ranjau yang berduri akan aku tabah menempuhnya
Menyubur Iman di dalam jiwa

Demi cinta yang suci
Ku rela korbankan kepentingan diri
Demi sinar bahagia
Ku hambakan diri pada-Nya yang Esa
Demi cinta Hakiki
Ku sanggup redahi apa yang terjadi

Apalah erti cinta suci
Andai kata-kata sering dimungkiri
Apalah erti cinta murni
Andai kata-kata sering didustai

Family at the Office

Monday again. And what does that mean? Work. Hmm..

Nothing interesting really to report from the office. Some days are cool, fun and exciting. Others are just plain miserable. Why? Coz I don’t have anything to do. It’s hard to explain the mood in the office. Depends on the mood of the staff actually. Kalau diorg tgh ceria, then working would be ceria too.

I never did explain the atmosphere here. Well, I have my very own cubicle, which I might add is just temporary.. but till this day is still mine. Hmm.. wonder when I’ll be transferring offices. Anyhow, I’m practically in the same office building as ayah. There are two offices, I’m in the office pentadbiran. Maybe they placed me here to keep an eye on me. Hahahaha.. Yeah, same office as ayah, but we rarely see each other anyway. He’s not usually in the office and even if we bump into each other, buat2 mcm tak kenal.. hehe..

My cubicle is the first cubicle you’d reach if you enter the main door. So, I’ll be the first person anyone ever sees.. and the first person anyone asks questions to as well. Fuh, its real tiring answering questions. Sometimes diorg nih salah office in the first place.

My cubicle consists of all the stationary you can have, a PC which is really slow, and lots and lots of files which I don’t need. Hahha.. the PC in my cubicle is the old version one, terrible btul.. no I mean, lambat btul. So they gave me a laptop for me to do my work. I only use the PC for internet usage. Oh yeah, forgot to mention.. endless internet connection too. =D

My supervisor isn’t really that friendly. I just found out that the other staffs don’t like her too. (And I thought I was the only one..) Talk about coincidence. In the cubicle beside me is a friendly mother of three – kak roha. She is so funny, I always laugh at her many stories. One week I came here and she practically told me all the gossips of the office. Hahaha.. anak boss or not, she doesn’t see me as a threat. The really out going and open minded type I assure you.

The other staff members in the administration office is Kak Fyda, Kak Dayah, Kak Rose, Kak Zac, Pak Lah and Zaidi. All very friendly people. Pak Lah is sort of my immediate supervisor when it comes to publication and designing work, but he doesn’t act like one. Die nih suka sgt sakat org. Cerita ntah pape.. always making everyone laugh. Kak Fyda is a cute, petit and pleasant person. She’s ayah’s PA (Personal Assistant). I love hearing her talk about her family and her experiences.

Kak Dayah is the reserved type. Really hard to see her smile. I mean the sincere smile. Heheh.. but I’ve broken the ice with her. She’s nice once you get to know her. I think she needs to be comfortable with you before she trusts you. Kak Rose, a wise mother and worker. I don’t know how long she’s been working here. She’s the dean’s PA. As I know, she’s the only one yang tak takut ngan dekan yang garang tuh. Fuh. I wonder how she does it.

Kak Zac, pegawai intellectual property. Kak Zac nih kadang2 okey, kadang2 tak. Hehe.. its quite hard to explain. Hmm.. She’s fun when she’s in a good mood. Comical is the word. But die nih very sensitive. Its tough kalau die merajok. Glad I’ve never had that experience with her before.
Who else? In the other office building, what the people call the "bahagian project" office, I know a few staffs as well. Kak Faezah, Kak Fuza, Kak Ija, Kak Lili, Kak Linda, Kak Hani, Kak Noor, Abg Lan, Kak Izra and Kak Zareen. Wah, takkan nak cite pasal semua? =)

Anyhow, Abg Lan tuh reminds me of a juniour in IIM. Everytime he sees me he’ll say "Miraaaaa.." Hahaahah..

Basically, I’m having lots of fun here in RMC. Hope I’ll be learning a lot of things from this experience. I’ve met all sorts of people, from really annoying bosses, to down right sociable workers.

Love ‘em all =)
