reading.is.not.a.hobby

Hello Angels! Greetings from outta space uolss :D

Well just been sitting chilling having a glass of cranberry juice with croissant. Yeaa I must admit, what a bad combination of having juice n croissant. Heheheee.. I was watching an online Korean drama series earlier before n was pretty much interested with what one of the actor said. "Reading is not a hobby but its a life necessity" ... I must agree that reading wasn't supposed to categorized as 'hobby'.. Somehow, we must know that we need to read in order to gain knowledge. Not only that, reading is like a compulsory before doing anything. Simple life example was... Buying things in the market, we need to read the label first before buying. Simple isn't it?? Heheehee..

For me.. I lourve reading from childhood. But i have to admit that calculation wasn't my thing at all! I'd prefer reading.. Thats y i took most of reading subjects coz alhamdulillah, im easily to memorize things, facts n notes. I can memorize full 12 chapters in just 2 days! Ohh okay im bragging.. Bluueeekk.. Anyway, the good thing in reading is that we may gain a lot of new experiences. Knowledge? Undoubtful! Thats the main thing. Did u all know while reading, our impulses and nerves are working really hard. See! Reading makes our brain n head n everything in our body system works efficiently! So let us start taking reading as our main priority in daily routines. And of course, do enjoy reading coz reading with a stress head may lead to migraine!

Enjoy reading uolss!!

Till then..

bid.manager

heloooooo.... well not so free nowadays.. life as a student back really woooooooooo UNLIKE! hahahaaaa.. anyway.. im still TRI Group staff. im currently handling most the business bidding in company. AGM comes Bid Manager! yeyeaaah BORING tat is but bos pay me so watodoooo eventho not enuf but like i owez remind my self 'enjoy making money as much as you spending it.' muahahahha! did you know my task in tat ofis are not taaaaat eaaaassssssy.. who said it's easy??! let me tell you wat i need to do as a worker..

The role of bid manager is often poorly understood, yet it is crucial to any organisation's success.

Bids are a high-stakes, ultra-competitive business, with no second prizes or chances. Because they are so critical to winning new work, as well as keeping existing contracts, bid managers are vital to a company's continuing existence, and to job security.

Bids are detailed, complex documents that often run to hundreds of pages, outlining how the candidate organisation would meet a contract's requirements. They cover a wide range of issues, from health and safety to customer care and staff issues, and are weighted for quality as well as price.

The role and responsibilities of bid manager jobs vary between organisations. But, essentially, a bid manager is responsible for submitting a completed bid to an existing or prospective client, on time and within budget. They ensure that all the client's questions have been answered as fully as possible, and that the organisation has given itself the best possible chance of success.

Working under the direction of a bid director, the role involves leading all day-to-day aspects of an individual bid. Bid managers are involved in every aspect of the submission and have an excellent appreciation of what the client needs and how best to articulate how their organisation can provide that. They work closely with a core team while bringing in subject matter experts when required.

A bid manager is also the first point of contact for the client, and liaises with estimators who produce the price element of a bid. This is collated with the 'quality' submission, which is what bid managers generally work on.

So that's basically some view of what i do for the company..

How to Make a Long Distance Relationship Works

Steps in Making LDR Works

1. 1
   Ask the important questions at the onset, to make sure you are both clear on the parameters of the relationship. Setting parameters such as naming your relationship (dating, seeing each other, boyfriend-girlfriend, engaged) as well as defining exclusive (limited to one person,) or non-exclusive. These can be difficult and awkward questions to ask, but will save you great heartache and misunderstanding down the line. Example: "Are you open to the possibility of relocating if the relationship should become more serious?" or "What are you looking to get out of the relationship?" Stating your end goal or ideas will allow each person to maintain what they need.
   
   
2. 2
   Consider using Skype video chat calls every day, text messaging, phone calls and email every day. It is important to maintain contact and to be in each other's daily lives as much as possible.
3. 3
   Do things together. Defy the distance. As a long distance couple, it's important to do other things together besides the usual phone call. In a long distance relationship, interaction over the phone can become dull in the long run. Incorporating other forms of interaction are important. Just think... People in short-distance relationships do not spend the majority of their time talking, but rather doing things with each other. Try to replicate this by finding things to do together such as watching a TV show or movie simultaneously. 
4. 4
   ommunicate in some way every day, more than once if possible. Since you won't be seeing each other, it's important to establish and maintain an emotional connection. These don't always have to be long, in-depth conversations. Tell each other about your little triumphs and tragedies. Ask for advice. Use an instant messenger program or VoIP for real-time chat, or web cams for that visual connection. E-mail is great so make sure you use it, especially if long-distance phone calls put a strain on your budget. Ensure the e-mails are substantive and detailed, it will show that you care enough to put in the time and effort. Write love letters. Send small gifts, cards, or men send flowers for no reason. In this case, quantity is as important as quality. You may discover an advantage over others whose partner is close at hand—you don't take communication for granted!
   • You can set up reminders, including automatically-recurring reminders, for this purpose in calendaring software on your computer or online. This is especially important when you don't have much contact with the other's friends to remember important events such as birthdays.
5. 5
   Take advantage of the benefits a long distance relationship offers: more time with friends and/or family, no arguments over toothpaste caps, the pleasure of seeing your sweetheart again after a long absence, time to mull your options (rather than snapping at your partner impulsively) before you respond to that email s/he wrote that seemed so rude the first time you read it, not being dragged into a bunch of chick flicks, etc. Most important, being far apart gives you a chance to maintain your individuality—something that can get lost in the shuffle when couples spend all their free time together. Here are additional benefits of long distance relationships.
6. 6
   Pursue common interests, even if it means pursuing them apart. If there's a movie you're both interested in seeing, watch it individually and then call each other afterward and talk about it. Read a certain book at the same time. Stargaze while you're on the phone. Set your watches to go off at the same time every day, and synchronize your alarm with that of your partner. Make it a point to think of each other when your watch goes off, and revel in the fact that he or she is thinking about you, too. Find creative ways to bond.
7. 7
   Avoid the temptation to be controlling. People have free will and no one can or should control another person. As long as you are both interested in being in the relationship, you will stick with it and distance will not make a difference. As soon as one of you decides the other is not a good match—or someone else is a better match—your relationship ends, whether you live 3000 miles apart, two streets over, or share the same bed with your wedding picture on the wall. You are going to have to trust each other completely if this relationship is going to work.
8. 8
   Try challenging each other. This is not the same as being controlling. You may find that you can do things for each other that you couldn't quite find the motivation to do on your own. Perhaps you could motivate yourselves to get some exercise or to cook better or more often. It will give you something to do while you wait to see your partner again, and it will give you both something to strive for and talk about until then.
9. 9
   Talk about your future together. Assuming that ultimately you'd want to live together, discussing how you're going to get to that point will help you prove to each other that the relationship is going somewhere and that your efforts and frustrations are not in vain.
10. 10
    Remember: Things will get better with time, and even the relationship will become better. Have hope.
11. 11
    Visit often. Try to make the time to visit each other as often as possible or as often as your budget permits you to. A relationship cannot thrive if the only thing you have is the phone call. You need to see each other up close and personal every chance you get. The key here is to set up some "rules" about frequency of communication and visits and stick to them. Consistency can help a long-distance relationship survive.
12. 12
    Avoid jealousy and be trusting. One of the easiest ways to destroy a perfectly healthy relationship is to poison it with jealousy and drama. When you start a long distance relationship, you must be realistic of the difficulties ahead. It always helps if you go in a relationship with the idea that everyone is innocent and worthy of trust until proven otherwise. Don't fall in the trap of interrogating your partner every time he/she decides to go out for a drink with people you haven't met or he/she didn't get back to you right away when you called and left a message. Just because you are in a long-distance relationship doesn't mean your lives will pause. Your partner will naturally have a social life where he/she lives and so should you. Sure, it helps to have your eyes open and not be totally naive, but being overly suspicious is unhealthy for you and your relationship too. You should both maintain your social activity and be happy with yourselves.
13. 13
    Be positive. Staying positive and not focusing on the negative aspects of a long-distance relationship is essential to keeping your relationship blooming and your partner content. Being away from your sweetie is not all bad news. Use the opportunity of personal time to pursue your interests and hobbies as well as your career objectives. Another positive point is that long distance dating pushes both of you to be more creative, to communicate better since you don't have "face-to-face" time and to test (and express) your feelings. As long as you see the long-distance relationship as a temporary state, you will keep your chin up and transmit that feeling of security and happiness to your partner too.
14. 14
    Give them a personal object of yours so in a time of need, when they miss you, they are able to hold on to something that once belonged to you. This will provide comfort, happiness, and the thought of being with you.
15. 15
    Work towards a balanced relationship between partners. A relationship must be built on strong foundations of trust, understanding and determination to make it work. The key is to ensure that an equal amount of effort is made by both parties. The two partners should be reasonable about their expectations and willing to cooperate so that the relationship can lead to a happy ending. If these parameters are taken care of, you have nothing to worry about. But don't forget to ask some questions because if you don't, your partner may start to think that you're losing interest.
16. 16
    Create your own set of relationship standards that both of you have mutually agreed upon. That creates a common goal for you to work towards, developing a strong relationship whether you are together or apart. For example, agree to disagree, accept each other as you are, practice trust and honesty, strive towards compromise and self-sacrifice, seek spiritual unity, and maintain open communication.
17. 17
    Remember that you're still in a relationship. You HAVE to be there for your partner. If your partner is ever in trouble, or hurt, or whatever, you have to be there for them.Make sure you are available to them so that they can reach you if they need you. If they end up dealing with everything alone, they will eventually not need you. And sometimes, distance permitting of course, that means being actually, physically there for them.

such a speechless n wordless wednesday. yesterday i got 1 freaking good entry to share with then suddenly im out of word to continue typing those entry.. well maybe some other time perhaps ;)

so wats the story to share.....

this phrase were kept on playing in my mind...

Sometimes it's better to simply not care....

the thing iz..i dunt know wat else to think about. tat iz y tat phrase realy suit sme at the time being..

caring: such a big word wit many defi..

a loving feeling

feeling and exhibiting concern and empathy for others

having or displaying warmth or affection

diz 1 big word might be unreasonable to certain peps..people tend to care for their loved one which tat includes of course our parents,siblings,family, frens n surroundings n even pets! the point im trying to shout out are....

not every human being wanted to be care of. diz person wil defi try to avoid such things from happening. for them being cared too much by others are considered as 'strings attached' or 'commitment' whereas they need 'NO STRINGS ATTACHED'

wats the reason of caring too much..? love perhaps? a fond to embrace perhaps? or maybe its just a tender glance...? how weird all those feeling can make a person care too much for someone else..

caring are the way how we show our love and passionate to others.. the way our heart n minds saying we really love and worried for them.. the way we want everything to be as smoothly as possible..

but....not everyone feels the same of being cared of. some of them thinks tat caring can be so annoying. they feel tat their freedom has been taken away.. 

well for those tat care... i salute u for having such a wonderful hearts

for those tat didnt... such a waste..

Andainya.Lelaki.Tahu

Andainya lelaki tahu..

Apabila seorang perempuan jatuh cinta,

lelaki itu tidak semestinya punya segalanya

tetapi lelaki itu adalah segalanya di hatinya.

Andainya lelaki tahu..

Apabila seorang perempuan itu mengalirkan air mata,

itu bukan bermakna dia lemah,

tetapi dia sedang mencari kekuatan

untuk terus tabah menyintai lelaki itu.

Andainya lelaki tahu..

Apabila seorang perempuan marah,

memang dia tidak mampu mengawal perasaannya

tapi percayalah, itulah maknanya

dia sangat mengambil berat dan menyayangi lelaki itu.

Lihat saja pasangan yang baru bercinta, mereka jarang bergaduh.

Tetapi percayalah semakin bertambah sayang mereka pada seseorang,

semakin pula banyak pertelingkahan yang berlaku.

Andainya lelaki tahu..

Apabila perempuan bercakap banyak,

dia tidak pernah bermaksud untuk membuat anda rimas,

tapi dia mahu lelaki mengenalinya dengan lebih dekat.

Andainya lelaki tahu..

Apabila perempuan berkata dia mahu anda berubah,

itu bukan bermakna dia tidak mahu menerima anda seadanya,

tetapi dia mahu menjadikan anda lebih baik,

bukan untuk dirinya,

tetapi untuk masa depan anda.

Andai lelaki tahu..

Apabila perempuan cemburu dan tidak percayakan anda,

bukan bermakna dia tidak sayang..

tetapi dia terlalu sayangkan anda

dan masih menganggap anda anak kecil

yang masih memerlukan sepenuh perhatian.

Kadang2 dia terlalu risau sekiranya terlalu percaya,

anda akan mengkhianati kepercayaan yang diberi.

Naluri keibuannya sangat kuat.

Dia hanya mahukan yang terbaik untuk anda.

Andai lelaki tahu..

Apabila perempuan merajuk,

jangan kata dia mengada-ngada.

Dia bukannya mahu dipujuk dengan wang ringgit

atau hadiah sedozen,

tetapi cukup dengan perhatian

yang boleh buat perempuan rasa dihargai.

Andai lelaki tahu..

Apabila perempuan jarang mengatakan ‘i love u’,

itu tidak bermaksud dia tidak menyintai

tetapi dia mahu lelaki itu merasai sendiri cintanya,

bukan hanya hadir dari kata-kata

tetapi juga melalui bahasa tubuhnya.

Andai lelaki tahu..

Apabila perempuan kata dia rindu sama kamu,

dia benar-benar maksudkannya.

Apabila berjauhan, bayanganmu akan sentiasa bermain di mata.

Andai lelaki tahu..

Apabila perempuan kata lelaki lain itu lebih baik dari kamu,

jangan percaya kata-katanya

kerana dia hanya mahu menguji kamu.

Dia mahu melihat sejauh mana kamu sanggup menjadi yang terbaik di matanya.

Walaupun sebenarnya memang kamulah yang terbaik di hatinya.

Selagi dia dengan kamu, percayalah,

walaupun perempuan menganggap masih ramai lagi yang lebih baik di matanya

tetapi di hatinya, kamu tetap yang terbaik.

Andai lelaki tahu..

Apabila perempuan menjadi degil,

dia bukan bermaksud untuk menjadi degil

tapi dia mahu melihat

sejauh mana lelaki itu mampu bersabar dengan kerenahnya.

Percayalah, hati perempuan itu sangat lembut.

Andai kena caranya,

jangan terkejut kalau akhirnya dia menukar fikirannya dalam masa sesaat.

Andai lelaki tahu..

Apabila perempuan berkata,

“tolong tinggalkan saya!”,

dia tidak bermaksud menyuruh anda pergi selamanya.

Dia hanya mahu menenangkan fikirannya sebentar saja.

Apabila dia kembali tenang,

percayalah dia akan mencari anda semula.

Itu tandanya dia benar-benar menyintai anda.

Perempuan sukar untuk mengawal perasaan.

Dia terlalu emosional.

Tapi dialah yang paling menyayangi anda

dan sangat sensitif dengan perubahan pada diri anda.

Andai lelaki tahu..

Sememangnya Allah menciptakan lelaki dan perempuan itu

dengan perbezaan yang tersendiri.

Tetapi sekiranya mereka saling memahami,

mereka akan saling melengkapi dan menyempurnakan.

Perempuan itu diciptakan oleh Allah indah sekali.

Di sebalik air matanya,

tersimpan seribu satu kekuatan

yang bakal menjadikan seorang lelaki itu merasa selamat bersamanya.

Biarpun zahirnya perempuan itu tampak lemah

tapi dia punya kekuatan tersendiri

yang bisa menggoncang dunia

dan mungkin bisa pula membuat lelaki menjadi lemah kerananya.

Jadi hargailah kehadiran seorang perempuan dalam hidup anda

kerana dia didatangkan bukan dengan kelemahan sahaja

tetapi dia juga ada kekuatan untuk menyokong anda

dan membuatkan hidup anda lebih sempurna.

Dialah yang bakal menjadi perempuan bekerjaya, isteri juga ibu

yang terbaik untuk anak2 anda....
