reminder to self and my kids...

X baik jeles and dengki ngan orang.

 

 

to my lovely doters...

Here’s to my funny doters, who loves to ‘joget’ and sing along this song…

 

Trouble he will find you no matter where you go, oh oh
No matter if you're fast, no matter if you're slow, oh oh
The eye of the storm or the cry in the mourn, oh oh
You're fine for a while but you start to lose control

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!

Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh oh
And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow, oh oh
He sees what I see and he knows what I know, oh oh
So don't forget as you ease on down the road

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh

So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!

Oh how I hate the way he makes me feel
And how I try to make him leave, I try
Oh oh, I try!

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh

So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!
Ooo, oh ooo, ooo ahh
Oooohhhh ohhh ooooo ahhhhhh.

 

perihal anak2...

My doters.. actually, being a mum, its so hard not to express how proud you are of your kids. But the thing is, every time I express any development (that I’m proud and happy of..) there’s gonna be this jinx where suddenly my doters wont do anymore. Aduhhh cakap cam k------.

 

Anyway, last time, I told everybody how glad and happy I am when aqish insisted in sleeping in her room, instead of ours… what do you know, the next day, terus x nak. It went well like almost a week camtu. Cess.

 

Then, Busyra.. she likes to copycat her sister, reciting the doa makan. No, she doesn’t know how to speak yet la.. but we know that she’s reciting cause rite before she eats, i.e. the food is in front of her, she’ll tadah her hand and recite ‘ne ne nee ne ne nee…’ kire reflecting the ‘bismillahirahmanirahim.’ Hehehe cute (says the poyo mama). The instance I told my sister and mom, terus nothing. Cess.

 

See kids, I am actually really proud and silently kembang kempis with your developments. But mummy and abah cant voice it out. It’s like we’re jinxed ke hapa hahahah nauzubillah… anyway, even tho we sometimes make you cry and scold you and stuff, we are REALLY proud of you guys.

 

I don’t know whether this works or not as my posts are usually posted thru email I draft in the office. But I intend to upload a song my doters really love. Tgh2 ngantuk pun boleh bangun nak nyanyi sama… it’s called TROUBLE is a friend by Lenka. Hahahah in all the songs… trouble yg derang suke…

me being pregnant.

This is sort of doing the tag shaz gave me.. sort of la.

 

7 things about me (being pregnant)

 

1- I can be a Bi**h, even though I consider myself a pleasant person, really. But being preggie, I just feel soooo not interested in anyone. EVERYONE annoys me.. heheheh

2- I am scared of lunch, dinner time and weekends. Cause these times, its all about food. Buat tekak I semacam. But don’t get me wrong. I still crave for them, still want to eat them just that when it’s the real deal… I get freaked out. Seriously.

3- Although milk is a necessity during pregnancy, I try not to take them cause I hate purging them. Smells & tastes terrible.

4- Same goes to anything chocolate!

5- Sometimes I feel emo x tentu pasal. But I think this is not only me, it happens to everyone.

6- Apa lagi shaz???

7- you kidding me?? :p im so lame

 

There. Tag to whoever.

 

Mak datuk, seriously not the jovial tag ever. Boo hoo.. (to me)

.

penat sudah...

I am tired. I hate being sick. Even morning sickness. It makes me feel useless. I hate being useless. And I hate not being to enjoy my day because of it. Argh… when is this going to end??

 

Ye, I am grateful for this rezeki. Cume the 1^st 3 months ni … hmmm.

news for my frens

People, I’m pregnant. Suke tapi takut x terhandle. Just fired my maid last week. The kids are back to nursery. Wonder how am I going to cope end of this year? Hmmm.. I guess Allah has greater plans! (cant wait! J )

Anyway, sekarang im hating my morning sickness. Like the pervious pregnancies- it’s bad. Hopefully the 3 months goes by really fast. I want the asek2 nak makan phase J

A great salesman

There are many things which make up a good salesman: you need to be able to talk to people, you need to have confidence, you have to be persuasive, and you must know your business. But there is one aspect to becoming a better salesman that nearly all the teaching manuals and books miss. This is a shame since it's probably the most important quality a person needs to become a great salesman and it has little to do with anything you say to a customer.

It has to do only with you.

The quality I'm referring to is being able to hear this word over and over again: "NO!"

You must be scratching your head and wondering what on earth I'm talking about, but trust me that this is important. You see, even great salesmen fail more often than they succeed. In fact, the acceptable statistics for salemen are that even if you're good, you only have about a 10% success rate. This means that you only make 1 sell for each 10 people you approach; 1 Yes for every 9 No's.

Most people simply get discouraged by these frequent rejections, lose heart and confidence which lowers their selling abilities even further. If you wish to be a better salesman, you need to break free of this notion and to learn to take these No's in the right way.

Here's the way to think about it: For each 10 people you only make 1 sale, right? So instead of thinking of the 9 rejections as failures, which can easily lead to demoralization, think about each of them as a 10% success. I mean, for each person you talk to you make 10% of a complete sale since 1 person in 10 will end up buying. When you think about it this way, you have no problem of hearing the occasional NO which will lead to increased confidence and in turn bigger selling success.

So the first thing you need to do to be a better salesman is to feel comfortable with hearing NO. Do that, and you've taken an important step towards being a successful and lucrative salesman.

[aisyah: I once read this article about ‘selling skills’ being the most important skill you would ever need, not only for a good paycheck but to be successful in life. I totally agree on this and how I regretted the immature mindset when I graduated and was looking for a job back then. Nyesal that the first NO NO dalam job hunting was anything to do with sales. Macam la kerje SALES itu keje xde class and memalukan. I know, there’re still people with this kind of mindset. I realized this when I was back in ambank. I envy gile bebudak institutional sales. They know their products like the back of their hand. Datang office sempoi, kenal ramai big corporate people, hence their level of confidence and network cam harem J.. tup tap, 2/3 kali setahun, go to ridiculous trips- afrika la (with frens).. and its not incentive, its with their own freakin money. And now, when doing product development in Kenanga, one of the challenges is the ability to sell the product. Aku rase product yg kitorg nak offer da baiiikkkk dah. But sales?? Very important.

So, my new year resolution is to be a better GREAT sales person. X semestinya on selling product, selling your skills- bile job hunting, selling your ideas to ur bosses, selling a task to ur subordinates, selling selling and selling. So, kenkawan, mari la kite menyemai this skill.. J]

Oohh, twitt! Another thing pasal bebudak institutional sales tu- another key point for them is that they LOVE their work. Oohhhh, how I envy those ppl not having to dread in the morning getting their S to work.
