No Fun

After a couple of months of super hot weather in Penang, here comes the heavy down pour. This is so great, especially on Sunday. I can just staying at home doing nothing, but just relaxing.

However, this weekend is damn bored for me. Hubby is away since yesterday afternoon to attend his coursemate's wedding. Due to the house renovation, I need to stay at home to watch out the house. With the renovation tools at my kitchen, and all the mess and dust at every corner, I'm not able to have a good rest.

Not to forget about the extra task to do. I have to hand wash all the laundry. Ah, this is a tiresome job. I sweat a lot. Perhaps this is a good method to burn fat. :-)

Senior Leadership Style

A couple of months ago, I attended a course on Senior Leadership Style. This is the helicopter that our team built in 10 minutes time. It was build using old newspapers, so this outcome is considered "passed". Hehehe...

The Helicopter is a transportation to represent the senior leadership style. People who transported in the helicopter will be able to see things clearly as they are above all the things. This is so called the bird's-eyes view. A successful leader must be a good observer who can see things from all perspectives. He/she should be able to listen to subordinates' feedback upon making good decisions. This is the factor to differentiate between a leader and a manager. So, not all managers are leaders.

I'm blessed to have a manager who is also a good leader. I admire her because of her knowledge, , experients and capability. She has the intellectual power, but at the same time she listens to us and protects us. At times when we were wrong, she points it out and holds discussions with us in order to understand the whole scenario. I have subordinates too and I'm on my way picking up the skills from her. Still long way to go.

Dust Everywhere

Our house is in a mess now. Dust is everywhere. Our renovation project has started. I feel extremely uncomfortable. I'm sleepy, moody and I can't have good night sleep. Hubby and Tiger are not sleeping well too. Especially Tiger, he ran along our bed and crying for help whole night long. He is not familiar with the new environment, and ask for companion.

Got to tahan for at least another week or two. Hmm....:(

Home Cooked Food

It has been almost 3 weeks since our last dine out. This is unbelievable! :) Not only save us a lot of money, but most importantly is we got our precious home cooked meal. Home cooked, home cooked and home cooked, that's what I'd like emphasize. Home cooked food always contain less food additives, and high in nutrition value.

I choose to consume more fresh vegetables and organic food. Organic brown rice, organic noodle and extra virgin organic olive oil become essential at home. I apply simple cooking method like steam, boil, and stir fry. Not even a single deep fried dish, cuz I replace it with pan fry. :)

Of course I have to sacrifice some time for cooking after every long working day. I fall in love with my hobby - cooking. I find that it is one of the efficient method to relief my tension. :)
