MC!!!

Alhamdulillah segala puji bagi Allah di atas segalanya.Nampaknya minggu ni hanya 2 hari sahaja saya bekerja. Harap bertenang semua...!!! Tiada cuti umum di sini...cuma cuti-cuti Malaysia sahaja.

Kebetulan, pagi Isnin tu saya masuk lewat ke ofis kerana sakit kepala yang amat sangat. Alhamdulillah menjelang pukul 10 pagi saya sudah sihat sepenuhnya dan sudah mampu untuk pergi ke pejabat.

Kebetulan kali kedua pula ialah, saya mendapat mc atau 'cuti sakit' selama sehari pada hari selasa. Pada asalnya, saya tetap berkeras untuk pergi ke pejabat..tetapi, tiada upaya.

Dan akhirnya, mc saya semakin beranak...dari sehari menjadi tiga hari. Wa...memang dugaan betul. Badan terasa macam melayang-layang. Kerana tidak lalu makan. Alhamdulillah hari ni saya sudah mampu untuk ke pejabat. Awal pagi, dah ada deretan kerja menanti untuk disiapkan dalam tempoh kurang 2 minggu.

Kerja...kerja dan kerja...


Nota :
- semoga segala urusan dipermudahkan olehNya..ameen ya rabb!!

Istidraj

Minggu lepas, kawan seofis Fendi tanya "Kenapa kadang kala kita lihat
seseorg insan tu sentiasa dapat kegembiraan spt dapat naik pangkat, murah rezeki dll sedangkan dia tu selalu melakukan kemungkaran? ". So, Fendi pun jawablah yang kdg kala sesuatu anugerah Allah swt kpd seseorg individu tu bukanlah sebab Allah sayangkan hambanya itu tetapikerana Allah nak tengok sejauh mana keikhlasan orang itu.

Allah nak tengok adakah hambanya itu akan menyedari bahawa Allah amat
bermurah hati dengannya jadi sepatutnya dia bersyukur dan berubah menjadi
baik.

Tapi jika individu itu masih tidak reti bersyukur maka sesungguhnya dia
telah menimbulkan kemurkaan Ar-Rahman.

Ada member tanya kenapa kdg2 kita dah banyak kali berdoa tapi belum dapat apa yang diimpikan. Ustazah kata itu tandanya Allah sayang pada kita. Sebabnya Allah tahu kalau kita lambat atau belum dpt yg diimpikan, kita akan terus berdoa dan mengingati Ilahi. Sebenarnya Allah amat rindukan suara hamba-hambaNya merayu dan memujiNya. Kalau sekali berdoa terus dapat, kemungkinan besar lepas tu kita kita taksub dan lupa utk bersyukur pd yg Esa.

Tup-tup dpt pula artikel ni drp seorg rakan. A very relevant and interesting article. Semoga Allah beratkan timbangan ibadah kita drp timbangan dosa di Pdg Mahsyar nanti. InsyaAllah..

Apakah dia istidraj itu?

Ianya adalah pemberian nikmat Allah kepada manusia yang mana pemberian itu tidak diredhaiNya. Inilah yang dinamakan istid raj . Rasullulah s.a.w. bersabda :"Apabila kamu melihat bahawa Allah Taala memberikan nikmat kepada hambanya yang selalu membuat maksiat (durhaka), ketahuilah bahawa orang itu telah diistid raj kan oleh Allah SWT." (Diriwayatkan oleh At-Tabrani, Ahmad dan Al-Baihaqi

Tetapi, manusia yang durhaka dan sering berbuat maksiat yang terkeliru dengan pemikirannya merasakan bahawa nikmat yang telah datang kepadanya adalah kerana Allah berserta dan kasih dengan perbuatan maksiat mereka. Masih ada juga orang ragu-ragu, kerana kalau kita hendak dapat kebahagian di dunia dan akhirat kita mesti ikut jejak langkah Rasullulah saw dan berpegang teguh pada agama Islam.

Tetapi bagaimana dengan ada orang yang sembahyang 5 waktu sehari semalam, bangun tengah malam bertahajjud, puasa bukan di bulan Ramadhan sahaja, bahkan Isnin, Khamis dan puasa sunat yang lain. Tapi, hidup mereka biasa sahaja. Ada yang susah juga. Kenapa? Dan bagaimana pula orang yang seumur hidup tak sembahyang, puasa pun tak pernah, rumahnya tersergam indah, kereta mewah menjalar, duit banyak,dia boleh hidup kaya dan mewah. Bila kita tanya, apa kamu tak takut mati? Katanya, alah, orang lain pun mati juga, kalau masuk neraka, ramai-ramai. Tak kisahlah! Sombongnya mereka, takburnya mereka.

Rasullulah s.a.w. naik ke langit bertemu Allah pun tak sombong, Nabi Sulaiman, sebesar-besar pangkatnya sehinggakan semua makhluk di muka bumi tunduk di bawah perintahnya pun tak sombong! Secantik-cantik Nabi Yusof dan semerdu suara Nabi Daud, mereka tak sombong. Bila sampai masa dan ketikanya, mereka tunduk dan sujud menyembah Allah.

Manusia istid raj - Manusia yang lupa daratan. Walaupun berbuat maksiat, dia merasa Allah menyayanginya. Mereka memandang hina kepada orang yang beramal. "Dia tu siang malam ke masjid, basikal pun tak mampu beli, sedangkan aku ke kelab malam pun dengan kereta mewah. Tak payah beribadat pun, rezeki datang mencurah-curah. Kalau dia tu sikit ibadat tentu boleh kaya macam aku, katanya sombong."

Sebenarnya, kadang-kadang Allah memberikan nikmat yang banyak dengan tujuan untuk menghancurkannya. Rasullulah s.a.w bersabda: "Apabila Allah menghendaki untuk membinasakan semut, Allah terbangkan semua itu dengan dua sayapnya" (Kitab Nasaibul æIbad)

Anai-anai, jika tidak bersayap, maka dia akan duduk diam di bawah batu atau merayap di celah-celah daun, tetapi jika Allah hendak membinasakannya, Allah berikan dia sayap. Lalu, bila sudah bersayap, anai-anai pun menjadi kelkatu. Kelkatu, bila mendapat nikmat(sayap) , dia akan cuba melawan api. Begitu juga manusia, bila mendapat nikmat, cuba hendak melawan Allah swt.

Buktinya, Firaun. Nikmatnya tak terkira, tidak pernah sakit, bersin pun tidak pernah kerana Allah berikannya nikmat kesihatan. Orang lain selalu sakit, tapi Firaun tidak, orang lain mati,namun dia masih belum mati-mati juga, sampai rasa angkuh dan besar diri lantas mengaku dirinya tuhan.Tapi dengan nikmat itulah Allah binasakan dia.

Namrud, yang cuba membakar Nabi Ibrahim. Betapa besar pangkat Namrud? Dia begitu sombong dengan Allah, akhirnya menemui ajalnya hanya disebabkan seekor nyamuk masuk ke dalam lubang hidungnya.

Tidak ada manusia hari ini sekaya Qarun. Anak kunci gudang hartanya sahaja kena dibawa oleh 40 ekor unta. Akhirnya dia ditenggelamkan bersama-sama hartanya sekali akibat terlalu takbur. Jadi kalau kita kaya,jangan sangka Allah sayang, Qarun lagi kaya,akhirnya binasa juga.

Jadi,jika kita kaji dan fikir betul-betul, maka terjawablah segala keraguan yang mengganggu fikiran kita. Mengapa orang kafir kaya, dan orang yang berbuat maksiat hidup senang /mewah. Pemberian yang diberikan oleh Allah pada mereka bukanlah yang diredhaiNya. Rupa-rupanya ianya adalah bertujuan untuk menghancurkannya. Untuk apa hidup ini tanpa keredhaanNya?

Tetapi jangan pula ada orang kaya beribadat, masuk masjid dengan kereta mewah kita katakan itu istid raj . Orang naik pangkat, istid raj .Orang-orang besar, istid raj . Jangan! Orang yang mengunakan nikmatnya untuk kebajikan untuk mengabdi kepada Allah bukan istid raj . Dan jangan pula kita tidak mahu kekayaan. Kalau hendak selamat, hidup kita mesti ada pegangan. Bukan kaya yang kita cari, juga bukan miskin yang kita cari.

Tujuan hidup kita adalah mencari keredaan Allah.

Bagaimana cara untuk menentukan nikmat yang diredhai Allah? Seseorang itu dapat menyedari hakikat yang sebenarnya tentang nikmat yang diterimanya itu ialah apabila dia bersyukur nikmatnya. Dia akan mengunakan pemberian ke jalan kebaikan dan sentiasa redha dan ikhlas mengabdikan diri kepada Allah.

Maka segala limpah kurnia yang diperolehi itu adalah nikmat pemberian yang diredhai Allah. Bila tujuan hidup kita untuk mencari keredhaan Allah, niscaya selamatlah kita di dunia dan akhirat.

Wallahualam.

"Dari Abdullah bin 'Amr R. A, Rasulullah S. A. W bersabda:
" Sampaikanlah pesanku biarpun satu ayat.."

"Hidup tidak boleh berpandukan perasaan hati yg kadangkala boleh menjahanamkan diri sendiri. Perkara utama harus kita fikirkan ialah menerima sesuatu atau membuat sesuatu dgn baik berlandaskan kenyataan"

Jangan Ada Benci Di Hati

Oleh Dato' Dr Hj Mohd Fadzilah Kamsah

Ramai juga orang yang gagal dalam pergaulan kerana menyimpan perasaan BENCI dalam hati mereka. Tuhan itu maha adil. Perasaan benci dalam diri kita akan menyebabkan ramai orang mudah benci terhadap kita. Misalnya, orang yang membenci ibu bapanya mungkin akan dibenci oleh rakan-rakannya. Orang yang membenci jirannya atau bekas kekasihnya mungkin akan dapat kebencian daripada rakan sekerjanya atau malahan ketua jabatannya.

Justeru hapuskanlah segala perasaan benci daripada hati kita agar kita mudah menjalin hubungan dengan orang lain.

Kaedah Mengikis Benci

Cara yang terbaik untuk mengikis benci ialah dengan memaafkan semua orang sebelum tidur malam. Jika setiap malam sebelum tidur kita sentiasa mencuci muka, memberus gigi, membersihkan diri dan mengibas tempattidur, tidak bolehkah kita mencuci hati kita denganmemaafkan semua orang sebelum tidur? Pengalaman secara peribadi penulis menunjukkan bahawa dengan memaafkan semua orang sebelum tidur, kita akan dapat membersihkan hati serta menenangkan fikiran dan mudah menjalin hubungan baik dengan orang lain.

Faktor-faktor Yang Boleh Merangsang Kehebatan Dalam Pergaulan

Antara faktor yang menyebabkan kita mudah berinteraksi dengan orang lain dan orang lain mudah tertarik kepada kita ialah:

1) Jaga solat dan lakukan ibadah-ibadah khusus dan umum yang lain.

2) Sentiasa bersangka baik terhadap semua orang (walaupun kita perlu berwaspada setiap masa).

3) Sentiasa memberikan senyuman ikhlas kepada orang di sekeliling kita.

4) Banyakkan bersedekah, samada dalam bentuk wang, senyuman, bantuan tenaga, masa, nasihat, idea, pandangan, sokongan moral dan doa yang berterusan.

5) Sentiasa memperbanyakkan sabar. Nabi s. a. w. pernah berpesan supaya mencari 144 sebab sebelum kita memarahi orang.

6) Sentiasa ceria apabila berjumpa dengan orang lain. Pastikan setiap orang seronok berinteraksi dengan kita.

7) Pamerkan perasaan sayang dan sentiasa sayang-menyayangi antara satu dengan yang lain. Bentuk dan pamerkan sahsiah yang positif setiap masa. Peribadi yang kurang sopan akan menyebabkan orang lain rasa mual terhadap kita.

9) Amalkan sunnah-sunnah harian setiap masa dan insyaAllah orang lain akan tertarik kepada kita.

10) Jika wujud sebarang perasaan sombong atau benci terhadap orang lain, terus ingatkan diri kita tentang mati. Kita mudah insaf dan balik ke pangkal jalan apabila mengingati mati.

11) Sentiasa syukur dan redha atas pemberian Allah swt.

12) Sentiasa memberi salam dan ucap selamat kepada orang lain. Pemberian salam akan mengukuhkan hubungan sesama manusia.

13) Pamerkan simpati kepada setiap individu-individu yang memerlukan simpati dan perhatian.

14) Jadilah pendengar dan kawan yang setia.

15) Sampaikan berita baik tentang orang lain dan sembunyikan kelemahan atau keburukan orang lain.

16) Sentiasalah bermaaf-maafan sebelum berpisah dengan seseorang dan iringi perpisahan dengan doa.

Terlebih dahulu baiki diri untuk menarik perhatian orang lain terhadap diri kita, kita perlu terlebih dahulu menyayangi dan memperbaiki diri kita.

19 November

Entah kenapa tiba-tiba saya berasa sedih bila teringat tarikh hari ini. 19 November...!! Rindu pada seorang sahabat lama...!!!

Firdaus A Hussain!!! Apa agaknya khabar dia?

Hmmm...last jumpa dia kalau tak silap saya hampir 5/6 tahun lepas. Firdaus datang ke rumah yong. Tidur dan kami bercerita. Ketika itu, Firdaus ambik Kursus Undang-undang di UiTM. Sempat juga kami bertukar-tukar khabar dan surat selepas itu. Tapi, kini sekali lagi Firdaus hilang.

"Ambilah Masa UnTuk Memahami HaTi Dan Perasaan Kawan, Kerana Dia Juga, Seorang Manusia; Dia Juga Ada Rasa TakuT, Ada Rasa Bimbang, Sedih Dan Kecewa, Dia Juga Ada Kelemahan Dan Dia Juga Perlukan Kawan Sebagai KekuaTan.KiTa SeLalu MelihaT, Dia KeTawa, TeTapi Mungkin Sebenarnya Dia Tidak SeTabah Yang KiTa Sangka"

Apapun, saya mendoakan semoga sahabat saya itu sentiasa dalam keadaan yang baik dan sihat selalu walau di mana jua dia berada. Andai ada izin dariNya nanti pasti kami akan berjumpa juga...ameen ya rabb!!!


Nota : teringat masa asrama, Firdaus salah seorang sahabat yang akan bersama di kala susah dan senang....thanks Fid!!!

Cerita dan cerita lagi...

ALhamdulillah segala puji bagi Allah di atas segalanya. Hari ni dah hari jumaat, cepatnya rasa masa berlalu. Bulan Zulkaedah pun dah menjelmakan diri beberapa hari lepas. November pun dah melangkah ke separuh masa kedua. Tak lama lagi dah tahun 2008, umur pun dah semakin bertambah!! Alhamdulillah la lahir hujung bulan 10, jadi sempatla berangan2 diri tu muda!! hehehehe

Sebenarnya tak tau nak cerita apa, walau sebenarnya banyak sangat cerita. Ok, insyaAlla h saya cuba la cerita sikit. Apa yg boleh dikongsi.

Ujian

Cerita terkini lagi hangat, hari ni masuk ofis awal kemain. Sebelum pukul 8 dah sampai. Lepas on pc, buat itu ini sikit..turun balik, sebab hari ni ada misi khas bertemankan cik Aisyah.

Hari ni memang diduga betul...Alhamdulillah jugakla sebab takde apa2 yang major. Mungkin diuji atas kecuaian sendiri. Masa kejadian tu hanya satu perkataan je diucapkan 'Allahhu akbar'.
Pelbagai kemungkin yang dapat dikenalpasti, sebab terlalu banyak berfikir...dan terlalu banyak berfikir serta terlalu banyak berfikir :D

Apapun, alhamdulillah...thanks to Allah for everything!!

Balik KD

Last sunday balik KD dgn nyahli dan suami. Penat tak terkata. Bertolak dalam 4.30 ptg, smpi 7.30 ptg...ikut jalan lama. Lepas makan malam, borak2 sikit. Pastu dalam 10.30mlm bertolak balik. Selalunya bertolak balik memang lambat sampai, sebab banyak hentian. Natijahnya sampai KL pkl 3.30am. :) Rasa penat tak boleh nak ungkap, tapi bersabar jela.

Mungkin minggu depan ni, balik KD balik hari jugak la...mungkin. Sebab? sebab ayah dah bising2....


Note : tak sabar nak jumpa cik nur...

Email etiquette

Why do you need email etiquette?

A company needs to implement etiquette rules for the following three reasons:

Professionalism: by using proper email language your company will convey a professional image.
Efficiency: emails that get to the point are much more effective than poorly worded emails.
Protection from liability: employee awareness of email risks will protect your company from costly law suits.

What are the etiquette rules?

There are many etiquette guides and many different etiquette rules. Some rules will differ according to the nature of your business and the corporate culture. Below we list what we consider as the 32 most important email etiquette rules that apply to nearly all companies.

32 most important email etiquette tips:

1. Be concise and to the point
2. Answer all questions, and pre-empt further questions
3. Use proper spelling, grammar & punctuation
4. Make it personal
5. Use templates for frequently used responses
6. Answer swiftly
7. Do not attach unnecessary files
8. Use proper structure & layout
9. Do not overuse the high priority option
10. Do not write in CAPITALS
11. Don't leave out the message thread
12. Add disclaimers to your emails
13. Read the email before you send it
14. Do not overuse Reply to All
15. Mailings > use the bcc: field or do a mail merge
16. Take care with abbreviations and emoticons
17. Be careful with formatting

29. Don't forward virus hoaxes and chain letters
30. Keep your language gender neutral
31. Don't reply to spam
32. Use cc: field sparingly


1. Be concise and to the point.

Do not make an e-mail longer than it needs to be. Remember that reading an e-mail is harder than reading printed communications and a long e-mail can be very discouraging to read.

2. Answer all questions, and pre-empt further questions.

An email reply must answer all questions, and pre-empt further questions – If you do not answer all the questions in the original email, you will receive further e-mails regarding the unanswered questions, which will not only waste your time and your customer’s time but also cause considerable frustration. Moreover, if you are able to pre-empt relevant questions, your customer will be grateful and impressed with your efficient and thoughtful customer service. Imagine for instance that a customer sends you an email asking which credit cards you accept. Instead of just listing the credit card types, you can guess that their next question will be about how they can order, so you also include some order information and a URL to your order page. Customers will definitely appreciate this.

3. Use proper spelling, grammar & punctuation.

This is not only important because improper spelling, grammar and punctuation give a bad impression of your company, it is also important for conveying the message properly. E-mails with no full stops or commas are difficult to read and can sometimes even change the meaning of the text. And, if your program has a spell checking option, why not use it?

4. Make it personal.

Not only should the e-mail be personally addressed, it should also include personal i.e. customized content. For this reason auto replies are usually not very effective. However, templates can be used effectively in this way, see next tip.


5. Use templates for frequently used responses.

Some questions you get over and over again, such as directions to your office or how to subscribe to your newsletter. Save these texts as response templates and paste these into your message when you need them. You can save your templates in a Word document, or use pre-formatted emails. Even better is a tool such as ReplyMate for Outlook (allows you to use 10 templates for free).


6. Answer swiftly.

Customers send an e-mail because they wish to receive a quick response. If they did not want a quick response they would send a letter or a fax. Therefore, each e-mail should be replied to within at least 24 hours, and preferably within the same working day. If the email is complicated, just send an email back saying that you have received it and that you will get back to them. This will put the customer's mind at rest and usually customers will then be very patient!


7. Do not attach unnecessary files.

By sending large attachments you can annoy customers and even bring down their e-mail system. Wherever possible try to compress attachments and only send attachments when they are productive. Moreover, you need to have a good virus scanner in place since your customers will not be very happy if you send them documents full of viruses!

8. Use proper structure & layout.

Since reading from a screen is more difficult than reading from paper, the structure and lay out is very important for e-mail messages. Use short paragraphs and blank lines between each paragraph. When making points, number them or mark each point as separate to keep the overview.


9. Do not overuse the high priority option.

We all know the story of the boy who cried wolf. If you overuse the high priority option, it will lose its function when you really need it. Moreover, even if a mail has high priority, your message will come across as slightly aggressive if you flag it as 'high priority'.

10. Do not write in CAPITALS.

IF YOU WRITE IN CAPITALS IT SEEMS AS IF YOU ARE SHOUTING. This can be highly annoying and might trigger an unwanted response in the form of a flame mail. Therefore, try not to send any email text in capitals.

11. Don't leave out the message thread.

When you reply to an email, you must include the original mail in your reply, in other words click 'Reply', instead of 'New Mail'. Some people say that you must remove the previous message since this has already been sent and is therefore unnecessary. However, I could not agree less. If you receive many emails you obviously cannot remember each individual email. This means that a 'threadless email' will not provide enough information and you will have to spend a frustratingly long time to find out the context of the email in order to deal with it. Leaving the thread might take a fraction longer in download time, but it will save the recipient much more time and frustration in looking for the related emails in their inbox!


12. Add disclaimers to your emails.

It is important to add disclaimers to your internal and external mails, since this can help protect your company from liability. Consider the following scenario: an employee accidentally forwards a virus to a customer by email. The customer decides to sue your company for damages. If you add a disclaimer at the bottom of every external mail, saying that the recipient must check each email for viruses and that it cannot be held liable for any transmitted viruses, this will surely be of help to you in court (read more about email disclaimers). Another example: an employee sues the company for allowing a racist email to circulate the office. If your company has an email policy in place and adds an email disclaimer to every mail that states that employees are expressly required not to make defamatory statements, you have a good case of proving that the company did everything it could to prevent offensive emails.


13. Read the email before you send it.

A lot of people don't bother to read an email before they send it out, as can be seen from the many spelling and grammar mistakes contained in emails. Apart from this, reading your email through the eyes of the recipient will help you send a more effective message and avoid misunderstandings and inappropriate comments.


14. Do not overuse Reply to All.

Only use Reply to All if you really need your message to be seen by each person who received the original message.


15. Mailings > use the Bcc: field or do a mail merge.

When sending an email mailing, some people place all the email addresses in the To: field. There are two drawbacks to this practice: (1) the recipient knows that you have sent the same message to a large number of recipients, and (2) you are publicizing someone else's email address without their permission. One way to get round this is to place all addresses in the Bcc: field. However, the recipient will only see the address from the To: field in their email, so if this was empty, the To: field will be blank and this might look like spamming. You could include the mailing list email address in the To: field, or even better, if you have Microsoft Outlook and Word you can do a mail merge and create one message for each recipient. A mail merge also allows you to use fields in the message so that you can for instance address each recipient personally. For more information on how to do a Word mail merge, consult the Help in Word.


16. Take care with abbreviations and emoticons.

In business emails, try not to use abbreviations such as BTW (by the way) and LOL (laugh out loud). The recipient might not be aware of the meanings of the abbreviations and in business emails these are generally not appropriate. The same goes for emoticons, such as the smiley :-). If you are not sure whether your recipient knows what it means, it is better not to use it.


17. Be careful with formatting.

Remember that when you use formatting in your emails, the sender might not be able to view formatting, or might see different fonts than you had intended. When using colors, use a color that is easy to read on the background.


18. Take care with rich text and HTML messages.

Be aware that when you send an email in rich text or HTML format, the sender might only be able to receive plain text emails. If this is the case, the recipient will receive your message as a .txt attachment. Most email clients however, including Microsoft Outlook, are able to receive HTML and rich text messages.


19. Do not forward chain letters.

Do not forward chain letters. We can safely say that all of them are hoaxes. Just delete the letters as soon as you receive them.

20. Do not request delivery and read receipts.

This will almost always annoy your recipient before he or she has even read your message. Besides, it usually does not work anyway since the recipient could have blocked that function, or his/her software might not support it, so what is the use of using it? If you want to know whether an email was received it is better to ask the recipient to let you know if it was received.


21. Do not ask to recall a message.

Biggest chances are that your message has already been delivered and read. A recall request would look very silly in that case wouldn't it? It is better just to send an email to say that you have made a mistake. This will look much more honest than trying to recall a message.


22. Do not copy a message or attachment without permission.

Do not copy a message or attachment belonging to another user without permission of the originator. If you do not ask permission first, you might be infringing on copyright laws.


23. Do not use email to discuss confidential information.

Sending an email is like sending a postcard. If you don't want your email to be displayed on a bulletin board, don't send it. Moreover, never make any libelous, sexist or racially discriminating comments in emails, even if they are meant to be a joke.


24. Use a meaningful subject.

Try to use a subject that is meaningful to the recipient as well as yourself. For instance, when you send an email to a company requesting information about a product, it is better to mention the actual name of the product, e.g. 'Product A information' than to just say 'product information' or the company's name in the subject.


25. Use active instead of passive.

Try to use the active voice of a verb wherever possible. For instance, 'We will process your order today', sounds better than 'Your order will be processed today'. The first sounds more personal, whereas the latter, especially when used frequently, sounds unnecessarily formal.


26. Avoid using URGENT and IMPORTANT.

Even more so than the high-priority option, you must at all times try to avoid these types of words in an email or subject line. Only use this if it is a really, really urgent or important message.


27. Avoid long sentences.

Try to keep your sentences to a maximum of 15-20 words. Email is meant to be a quick medium and requires a different kind of writing than letters. Also take care not to send emails that are too long. If a person receives an email that looks like a dissertation, chances are that they will not even attempt to read it!


28. Don't send or forward emails containing libelous, defamatory, offensive, racist or obscene remarks.

By sending or even just forwarding one libelous, or offensive remark in an email, you and your company can face court cases resulting in multi-million dollar penalties.


29. Don't forward virus hoaxes and chain letters.

If you receive an email message warning you of a new unstoppable virus that will immediately delete everything from your computer, this is most probably a hoax. By forwarding hoaxes you use valuable bandwidth and sometimes virus hoaxes contain viruses themselves, by attaching a so-called file that will stop the dangerous virus. The same goes for chain letters that promise incredible riches or ask your help for a charitable cause. Even if the content seems to be bona fide, the senders are usually not. Since it is impossible to find out whether a chain letter is real or not, the best place for it is the recycle bin.


30. Keep your language gender neutral.

In this day and age, avoid using sexist language such as: 'The user should add a signature by configuring his email program'. Apart from using he/she, you can also use the neutral gender: ''The user should add a signature by configuring the email program'.


31. Don't reply to spam.

By replying to spam or by unsubscribing, you are confirming that your email address is 'live'. Confirming this will only generate even more spam. Therefore, just hit the delete button or use email software to remove spam automatically.


32. Use cc: field sparingly.

Try not to use the cc: field unless the recipient in the cc: field knows why they are receiving a copy of the message. Using the cc: field can be confusing since the recipients might not know who is supposed to act on the message. Also, when responding to a cc: message, should you include the other recipient in the cc: field as well? This will depend on the situation. In general, do not include the person in the cc: field unless you have a particular reason for wanting this person to see your response. Again, make sure that this person will know why they are receiving a copy.

Hari-hariku...

The Worlds Best Kept Auto Secret.

I have been driving (legally) for over half a century. One would think I would have noticed the little secret on my dash that was staring me right in the face the whole time. Well, I didn't and I bet you probably haven't either.


Quick question, what side of your car is your gas tank filler cap? If you are anything like me, you probably can't remember right away. My solution is to uncomfortably stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look. If you don't do this in your own car you more than likely have done it in a borrowed or rental car.

Well ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to share with you my little secret so you will no longer look like Ace Ventura on your way to the gas station, or put your neck at risk of discomfort or injury.

If you look at your gas gauge, you will see a small icon of a gas pump. The handle of the gas pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the pump. If your tank filler pipe is on the left, the handle will be on the left. If your filler pipe is on the right, the handle will be on the right (see photo above). It is that simple!

I don't know how you feel about this discovery right now but when I found out this morning , I felt pretty damn cheated!

Why don't the dealers share such important information with car buyers? I don't understand why this isn't in the driver's/owner's manual? And why don't our favorite mechanics think of mentioning this to us all? The only possible explanation can be that all these people probably don't even know themselves!

Go out and share the world's best kept auto secret with your friends this information is way too important to be kept secret.

Rumah Terbuka...?

Alhamdulillah pada 4 November lepas, telah berlangsungnya satu jamuan makan-makan di rumah sewa saya. Terima kasih banyak-banyak kepada rakan-rakan yang sudi hadirkan diri.
Terima kasih bebanyak kepada Murni dan Liza kerana turut sama menghulurkan tenaga untuk menjayakan majlis yang tidak seberapa itu.

Bermula Sabtu pagi tu, kami ahli rumah dan Cik M pergi ke pasar untuk membeli barang-barang basah. Banyak juga barang-barang yang dibeli. Alhamdulillah. Lepas beli barang, kemas-kemas rumah sikit.

Malam tu, lepas makan malam...(masa ni Liza baru je sampai) kami mulakan operasi memasak apa yang patut. Seperti, masak nasi impit, buat kuah kacang untuk nasi impit dan kuah kacang untuk mi rojak, agar-agar santan, dan potong memotong sayur-sayur untuk masak esok pagi.
Alhamdulillah semuanya selesai hampir pukul 2 pagi. Almaklumlah rumah bujang, kelengkapan pun tak cukup. serba kekurangan. :)

Esoknya, lepas dah siap masak-masak saya dan Liza g ambik nyahli kat Gombak. Sampai rumah dalam pukul 12 lebih. Tetamu pertama yang datang ialah Cik A dan adiknya. Tetamu makan tuan rumah pun makan jugak. Almaklumlah acara makan memakan memang acara utama. hehehe

Sekali lagi terima kasih kepada semua. InsyaAllah ada rezeki lagi, mungkin boleh jemput lebih ramai lagi.
