Sorry, I am No Fan of Mary Kay Product!

Do you have ever been approached by someone  (stranger / friends / families) who claimed themselves as a beauty consultant ? Well, you know those people who did a demo about washing your face, applying masker, toner, moisturizer, foundation etc ( excluding make-up ) using their so- called product. In your opinion, are they really a " beauty consultant" as they claimed or it just a "commercial name' they use to promote/sell their product?

Frankly, to  m y opinion. I thinks they are just as bad as as a liar and their demo were just a bullshit! Sorry, it's sound a bit harsh and mean but that's just my honest opinion about those kind of people.. They are just another kind of liar because all of the demo they did only show the good side of their product where as they left the bad side for us to find out later. I referred to their demo as a bullshit because it's just a basic stuff that even a naive/nerd schoolgirl know about it. Just because they attended a few hour class of how to take care their skin using their product, they dare to called themselves as a beauty consultant. So if that is the reason why they called themselves a beauty consultant then peoples who know this basic can claimed themselves as a beauty consultant too, am I right?  

I am not referred to those people who really studied the field of skin and beauty therapy since  this people really have a certificate in their profession and they are qualified to be called beauty consultant. I am referring to those people who claimed themselves as a beauty consultant just because they attended a few hour class or training of  demonstrating their own product. They attended the class just to know how to promote/sell their product without even knowing the meaning of their profession or worst without a single passion in field of skin and beauty.

Hahaha, I  guess all of you already know whose beauty consultant did I referred to right? Okay, no more riddles and let me tell you exactly who they are.. They are Mary Kay (MK) beauty consultant! Sorry, sis-in-law, I really hates MK!

I don't understand how can MK still standing high and sell their product since a lot of complaint / bad review on their product since 2008.Their products are not really as good as they claimed it was. Maybe in time being it look good on them and even give the result they want for but they didn't realized that the product have a catalyst long term effect they might regret later. Even one of their director who called herself pinktruth had established a web to reveal the fraud and bad things about MK. In one of her article of WHY SHE QUIT MARY KAY , she wrote " My decision to quit MK was based on the facts of my health, and the lack of true information about this business opportunity." 

I was studying chemical before I involved in accounting & business management and I know the fact that any beauty product were content with a series of chemical formulation that will have a bad effect sooner or later. I only used facial foam, toner, moisturizer, lotion & press/foundation powder daily. My range of brand selection are  Fair & lovely, Olay, Nivea, Maybelline, Safi & Silky girl because its product suitable for my skin and affordable as well. Do you know that the price of one MK facial foam is equal to 3 Safi facial foam! No way I am gonna waste my money to buy expensive product by MK that might content harmful chemical when I can always buy cheaper product such as Safi that safe & Halal as well.

My skin & beauty is mine to control. I control every thing that goes in and on my body. You can try to persuade me or even lied to me to buy your product but  in the end the ultimate power is still mine. I might need your advise but in the end still I am the one who take action on what the best for my skin. So, back off all of those people who try to cloud my mind with fraud and lies because I know my skin better than you! If I need help I will asks the expert, not you who claimed yourself as beauty consultant and offered your advise just to promote your product!

Moreover, you have to pay at least RM20 to attend this class! Hahahaha, what a jokes( LMAO )! No way I am gonna pay for such basic stuff they teach since I can googles load of articles and video on skin care and beauty therapy through internet!(LOL)

It's just my say and it's up to you to determine what the best for you! But I think all of us are better educated nowadays and those beauty consultant bluffing shouldn't  sway us at all. Only simpleton will believe their ceramah about skin care, Muahahahaha!

P/s: This is not a campaign against this product but just another honest opinion. So, please no hard feeling and Peace No War !

Through The Eyes Of Love - Ice castle (2010)

Inspiring teenage movies such as "Raise Your Voice", "Homeless To Havard" & the most recent one I have watched "Ice Castle" never disappointed me and as always all of this awesome movies come along with wonderful and inspiring song / soundtrack too..

IMDb.com

Last night, I was watching the Ice Castles ( 2010) and as always when I watched a good movie that carried me away, I shed my tears in the end of this movie..( It's actually re-make of the 1978 original movie by the same director ) I don't want to tell what this movie about because I am not reviewing this movie. I just wanna let you know that the soundtrack / song of this movie which is originally sang by Mellisa Manchester ( for the Ice Castle 1978 movie ) but then sang by Brit Nicole for the Ice Castle (2010) is really a nice song..

To tell the truth, I preferred the new version by Britt Nicole because it simply awesome than the original version ( Sorry Mellisa Manchester, but I think Britt Nicole gave this song a better recognition and life ). I am gonna asks my hubby to download this song for me tonight and put it in my play-list..

For the time being, please listen & enjoy yourself with the clip from youtube below:-

kematian adik saiful, apa ceritanya?( Headline from GAMIS )

Kematian adik Saiful Syazani Saiful Sopfidee telah menggemparkan Negara. Pembawaan carita oleh media telah mengejutkan semua pihak termasuk saya yang menjadi mangsa kepada penceritaan media berkenaan isu tersebut. Peristiwa berlaku apabila seorang guru agama sebuah sekolah dikatakan telah mendera seorang pelajar berusia 7 tahun hingga menyebabkan kematian pelajar tersebut.(gambar sekolah Al-furqan, tempat kejadian )

Boleh kita baca bagaimana ‘jahat’nya guru tersebut dengan pendedahan media seperti,

“Selepas memukul kepala, suspek dikatakan `naik hantu’ dan menggoncang badan mangsa serta menolaknya dengan kuat ke dinding yang dipercayai punca utama murid itu mengalami pendarahan dalam kepala dan komplikasi jantung” – harian metro- (boleh baca lanjut dengan tajuk, cikgu ambil nyawa )

“Saiful Syazani meninggal dunia selepas tiga hari dilaporkan koma, akibat dibelasah guru yang juga seorang warden di sekolah agama persendirian selepas disyaki mencuri RM7 di asrama sekolah. Dalam kejadian Khamis lalu itu, mangsa diikat kedua-dua tangan pada tingkap dan dibelasah bertalu-talu sebelum dihempas ke dinding hingga menyebabkannya mengalami pendarahan organ dalaman” – JPM Malaysia -

Setelah kita mengikuti kes tersebut melalui media yagn membuat liputan, maka kita telah menghukum dengan rasminya bahawa sungguh jijik dan jahat perbuatan guru tersebut.

Namun disana, saya masih curiga akan kisah yang berlaku. Dengan izin dan kesempatan yang diberikan Allah, telah menggerakkan hati saya dan pimpinan GAMIS ( Akram dan Nazry ) melawat tempat kejadian dan rumah arwah di Jejawi, Perlis. Kami kesana atas kerja rasmi GAMIS dan berkesempatan menziarahi rumah arwah.

CERITA SEBENAR

Setibanya kami di sekolah berkenaan, ustaz waqar ( sahabat baik kepada guru agama yang dituduh ‘membunuh’)menyambut kami dengan mesra dan penuh ukhwah. Kami terus dibawa kerumah ayah angkat arwah terletak lebih kurang 6km dari sekolah berkenaan. Sepanjang perjalanan, ustaz waqar telah mencerikan kisah sebanar kejadian.

“ adik saiful(arwah) merupakan seorang yang mesra dengan orang. Dia agak aktif disekolah dan pernah menjadi Johan pertandingan azan PASTI peringkat negeri Perlis(gambar hadiah yang dimenangi). Setelah masuk ke darjah 1, dia tinggal diasrama. Namun timbul beberapa kes disiplin sepanjang adik ni tinggal diasrama hinggalah pada kemuncaknya dia didapati mencuri wang rakannya berjumlah RM7. Maka dia telah dipanggil oleh ustaz (yang dituduh) yang merupakan warden asrama ke bilik warden. Ustaz telah bertanya kepada adik saiful tentang kecurian wang rakannya, dan dia mengaku berbuat demikian. Semasa pertanyaan diajukan, ustaz berkenaan telah mengikat kedua-dua tangan adik saiful dibahagian hadapan, bukan belakang. Namun sepanjang berada dibilik warden tersebut, TIDAK ADA penderaan fizikal yang berlaku sebagimana yang dilaporkan.

Sebaliknya ikatan tangan tersebut dibuka setelah ustaz berkenaan ingin keluar dan mengurung adik saiful dalam bilik berkenaan. Setelah 2 jam ditinggalkan, seorang lagi warden, ustaz y telah membuka bilik berkenaan dan mendapati adik saiful terbaring diatas toto sambil menggigil. Mulanya ustaz y mengesyaki adik saiful terkena sawan dan kacing gigi, namun beliau sendiri tidak pasti akan penyakit yang menyerang. Lantas ustaz Y terus membawa adik saiful ke hospital Kangar, namun pihak hospital tidak dapat menerima pesakit kerana banjir melanda Bandar Kangar pada masa itu. Seterusnya adik saiful dibawa ke Hospital Sultanah Bahiyah Alor Star dan terus dimasukkan ke wad ICU.

Pada malam kejadian itu juga ustaz h telah menemui ayah angkat adik saiful dan memohon maaf atas kesilapan dia mengurung arwah selama 2 jam. Sebelum ustaz h pergi kehospotal, dia terkejut dengan berita bahawa adik saiful dimasukkan ke icu, lantas dia terus menunaikan solat hajat”.

Selang 3 hari dari hari kejadiaan, adik Saiful dipanggil oleh Allah untuk mengadapnya pada jam 8pagi hari ahad.”

Begitulah cerita sebenar kejadian kematian adik saiful yang telah diceritakan oleh rakan baik ustaz h. Kami terus pening kerana banyak percanggahan maklumat yang dibaca melalui media sebelum daripada itu. Kami terus sampai kerumah Abang Zamri(ayah angkat adik saiful). Ketibaan kami disambut mesra oleh abang zamri yang kelihatan pasrah dan redha akan ketentuanNya. Adik saiful tinggal bersama keluarga Abang Zamri sejak umur 2 tahun setengah, setelah bapa adik saiful tidak mahu membelanya setelah kematian ibu adik saiful. “ dia seorang yang berani dan tak takut apa yang orang kata. Dia memang keras dan keberanian dia tak padan dengan umur dia” cerita abang zamri.

Setelah setengah jam berbual dengan abang zamri, kami pun memohon izin untuk pulang. GAMIS sempat menyampaikan sedikit bantuan kepada abang zamri atas musibah yang menimpa. Kami doakan agar abang zamri dan keluarga tabah dan sabar menempuh ujian yang mendatang. ( gambar Abang Zamri, senyum tanda terima kasih )

Semasa perjalan pulang, ustaz waqar sempat menyambung ceritanya tadi. Beliau turut mengaitkan kes ini telah menjadi suatu isu politik kepartian kerana sekolah berkenaan adalah dibawah parti PAS. Maka sebab itu, pelbagai cerita pelik yang timbul. Saya rasakan apa yang diceritakan oleh ustaz w adalah benar setelah melihat laporanforensik yang diberitakan bahawa punca kematian adik saiful adalah kerana kekurangan oksigen dan pendarahan dalam otak. Maka pelbagai kemungkinan boleh berlaku, namun nyata sekali tidak ada kesan LEBAM akibat pukulan yang berlaku sebagimana yang dilaporkan oleh media. Lihat laporan ini, meniggal akibat kekurangan oksigen.

Kami juga dibawa melihat bilik warden yang dikatakan tempat adik saiful dikurung oleh warden berkenaan. Bilik tersebut bukan hanya pejabat, bahkan tempat tidur ustaz berkenaan. Banyak lagi persoalan yang timbul disebalik kejadian berkenaan, namun Allah sahaja yang mengetahui kebenarannya.

Apa yang sangat menyedihkan ialah apabila masyarakat telah ‘menghukum mati’ peribadi ustaz berkenaan yang hanya dituduh dan ditohmah oleh media yang sanga berat sebelah. Yang lebih teruk lagi bila politikus menjadikan isu ini sebagai senjata politik hingga mendesak sekolah agama berkenaan ditutup.

GAMIS bukan membela tindakan ustaz bekenaan, namun apa yang kami harapkan ialah keadilan mesti diberikan kepada mereka yang terlibat. Media jangan cepat mnghukum hingga masyarakat pada hari ini memberi tanggapan yang sangat negatif kepada sekolah agama rakyat. GAMIS juga mendesak agar jangan libatkan politik yang melampau dalam kes ini hinggalah mahkamah yang menentukan siapa yang bersalah dalam kes berkenaan. Kita doakan agar keadialan diberikan kepada mereka yang berhak, dan pembalasan yang sepatutunya kepada yang zalim.

Okay, my 1st impression after reading this article is, "how cliche, they asked us not to judge quickly yet they already decided that the warden is not guilty".

Think wisely Mr. writer, you did mention that based on the medical report, Adik Saiful died because lack of oxygen & internal bleeding yet you also mentioned that the room where adik saiful being held was a room where the warden sleep, so how come the report said Adik Saiful died because lack of oxygen? What cause the internal bleeding? Nobody bleed just like that without a reason..

People can said whatever they want but the truth is only Adik Saiful and the warden himself know what exactly happened on that day.. We can only expressed our opinion but we don't have the right to decided who is wrong and who is right.

To me, I still blamed  the warden because of  his act on confining Adik Saiful for more than 2 hour over stealing RM7 from his friend. No matter what his excuses, Adik Saiful is just a little kid not a criminal to undergo such interrogation.

Everyone has their own say, so do I and I am voicing my opinion because I have a kids too and issues like this really scared me off!

Top jobs only for those who know the language well

Petaling Jaya (The Star/ANN) - It does not matter if you are top of your class or have a string of degrees, that dream job will not be yours unless you can speak and write well in English.

Feedback from local and international employers shows that verbal and written communication skills in English remain the most sought-after attribute in prospective employees.

According to a recent Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) survey, it is the most important trait employers look for when recruiting graduates.

The MEF Salary Survey for Executives 2010 revealed that 68% of the companies surveyed named communication skills as the top quality required in job applicants, followed by working experience (67%), interpersonal skills (56.2%) and passion and commitment (55.7%).

MEF executive director Shamsuddin Bardan said globalisation had changed the nature of jobs, making communication skills, specifically in English, a valuable asset for today's worker.

He added that this was an essential criterion even for professions traditionally seen as backroom staff such as engineers, technical personnel and scientists. It is especially so for those working in multinationals and bigger firms," he said.

Today, our clients are worldwide. In factories, for instance, engineers are a different breed from the past," said Shamsuddin.

Now, they have to be involved in various aspects of business and interact with clients."

Shamsuddin expressed concern that many local graduates today could not speak or write proper English, saying this was a reason why they faced difficulties getting jobs in the private sector.

Kelly Services (M) Sdn Bhd managing director Melissa Norman concurred, noting that six in 10 graduates who attended its interviews could not communicate effectively in English.

The company is one of the top headhunters in the country.

Norman said it was important to master English as it was widely used among the business community, both in Malaysia and internationally.

The Kelly Global Workforce Index survey released in 2010 listed communication skills as one of the top five most desired skills within the corporate sector.

We have encountered local graduates who are weak in spoken and written English and have limited vocabulary," said Norman.

These candidates can only manage to secure jobs in small-medium enterprises and small businesses."

Various industry and business leaders also warned that the decline in English was affecting Malaysia's global competitiveness.

Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers President Tan Sri Mustafa Mansur said the young ones who could not communicate in English were unable to negotiate the best deals in business transactions or investments.

We need to send people out to market our products, negotiate deals or get contracts signed. If they cannot communicate well in English, we will lose out," he said.

Pemudah co-chair Tan Sri Yong Poh Kon pointed out that, contrary to popular belief, it was important for civil servants to have a good command of English due to a growing borderless world.

The standard of English also affects the quality of the public sector as civil servants have to interact with international citizens and the business world as well as articulate Malaysia's stand on issues to the international community. These include negotiations on important agreements such as trade agreements."

Noting that the quality of English in the country had declined over the last two decades, former Human Resource Minister Tan Sri Fong Chan Onn warned that the country would lose out to its neighbours that did not teach English in schools previously.

Thailand, Indonesia and China are making efforts to improve their English through their education system," he noted.

In my previous entry about Malaysia being the no.1 in English in Asia I forgot to mention about above fact which is 100% true and should be taken seriously by all Malaysian if they want to be competitive in international career market or least in Malaysia itself.

However I do not agree about the statement that only bigger company take note about the importance of English proficiency since nowadays smaller company/business also put their preference over the worker with excellent English as well.

By the way, there is no easy way to learn English but to put behind our own ashamed feeling and uncertainty and just do it despite of what other people thinks. For a start ( hahahaha, based on my own experience ) maybe you should write in English. Notes, diary, recipes, memos or whatever you want to write, just write it in English. Then, you should start speaking the language to accustom yourself with it. You might find it a bit difficult to pronounce certain words but feel free to ask people and DON'T ever feel ashamed if you speak it in wrong way. 

I still remembered my experience over my public speaking during my English class ( matrix ), where I make lots of mistake and make myself look like a fool because some of my colleagues did laugh on me due to my poor English except for my fellow friend Joannie Jomitol, Marini Sulaiman, Falinah Misol & Ramansha. It's really embarrassing but I was grateful to that experience because it's showed how poor my verbal English and since then I start to improvise myself by speaking it on daily basis. Now, I can proudly say I am good in English though not as excellent as some people.

My job is not really a top job but I love my job. I hope my kids will have a better future, a better career and a better life than mine with all my effort with their education plus my strict implementation of English language in their daily life.( Dusun language is one of their must language too. Mana boleh lupa bahasa turun temurun kan.. )

Health Or Career? Which One Is Your Choice?

Want to find out if you’re living a healthy lifestyle? Take a profile test to a journey of self-discovery and improvement. #NestleProfiler

What is your answer if people ask you which one yo choose, your career or your health?
Mesti teragak-agak mo jawab kan.. Well, though I might be workaholic but to me I rather live with healthy lifestyle than having a awesome career but in poor health condition.

But to think in logically, health should come first right? If you have a healthy body, healthy lifestyle and healthy environment than only can you pursue an awesome career with awesome figure kan..
People always neglect about their health once they in the line of awesome career because of their obsession to maintain that level of achievement. When they face a bigger problem due to their ignorance of health then only they start to take note of their health.. Bila sakit baru la start pi jogging, pi senaman etc..

Actually, I am one of those people who less care about my health.. hehehe, shameless betul la sia ni kan.. But it's not because of I don't want to tapi sebab malu pasal orang selalu tanya soalan cepu emas whenever I go to jog or exercise.. Want to know what the golden Q is?

" Ai, suda kurus pun mo jogging lagi ka? "
That's it! Terus hilang semangat mo jogging.. Nowadays, I never go to public park to jogging anymore because I only do my own aerobic at home with my kids..It's better because I can spend happy time with my kids who is eager to be my aerobic partner and do some exercises at the same time..


What about you all pals? Health or career? How about the WHO Campaign? Have You support it? Please share your piece of mind with me okay!
