Covid 19 - Above 60 Stay Home

copied from www.steadyaku47.com

You WILL NOT STEP OUT OF HOME ONCE YOU READ THIS CAREFULLY !

Why People who are 60+ must stay home and not take any risks at all*
Written by a nurse who works with ventilators.

For those people who don't understand what it means to be on a ventilator but want to take the chance of going back to work and walk into crowded places such as malls or public transport vehicles.. ….

For starters, a ventilator is NOT an oxygen mask put over the mouth while the patient is comfortably lying down and reading magazines.

Ventilation for Covid-19 is a painful intubation that goes down your throat and stays there until you live or you die. It is done under anesthesia for 2 to 3 weeks without moving, often upside down, with a tube inserted from the mouth up to the trachea and allows you to breathe to the rhythm of the lung machine.

The patient can't talk or eat, or do anything naturally – the machine keeps you alive. The discomfort and pain they feel from this means medical experts have to administer sedatives and painkillers to ensure tube tolerance for as long as the machine is needed. It's like being in an artificial coma.

After 20 days from this treatment, a young patient loses 40% muscle mass, and gets mouth or vocal cords trauma, as well as possible pulmonary or heart complications.

It is for this reason that old or already weak people can't withstand the treatment and die. Many of us are in this boat … so stay safe unless you want to take the chance of ending up here. This is NOT the flu.

Add a tube into your stomach, either through your nose or skin for liquid food, a sticky bag around your butt to collect the diarrhea, a foley to collect urine, an IV for fluids and meds, an A-line to monitor your BP that is completely dependent upon finely calculated med doses, teams of nurses, CRNA's and MA's to reposition your limbs every two hours and lying on a mat that circulates ice cold fluid to help bring down your 104 temperature. Hence, I request all my Senior Citizen friends, do not go out

Stop the spread Stay Safe, Stay Home and well….. πŸ™πŸ™πŸŒ·πŸ’πŸŒΉ: *πŸ‘†πŸ‘†FORWARDED AS RECEIVED – BE CAUTIOUS/ STAY SAFE.

A Great Monday

i have been watching you tube about the 7 Habits and i am setting my mind straight to be on the right track. i have been behaving wrongly and doing unjust to myself. fuhh besar betul perkataan tu, 'unjust'. pi carik kat google apa maksud dia yeh. 

so through all my viewing i learned that i should not call myself 'procrastinator' coz i am not. it is just a habit of procrastinating that i am doing right now. so last night before i went to sleep, i have plans in my head of what to do the next day - which is today. last night i looked at the notebook that i have beside my bedroom window and i told myself i am going to write what i needed to do in the morning. recite my fatihah and 3 quls before i went to sleep and forgive everyone and myself. 

in the morning i actually got up when the alarm went off - and i did not sleep after subuh prayer. i had my breakfast, showered and i told myself i will wear my gym attire so that i will feel energetic. that is of course i have taken all my supplements. then i connect with all my prospects. 

paid some of my bills - had to stop coz the system was interrupted. then i got ready for gym coz i planned to listen to Daily Closing Challenge on zoom while i am cycling in the gym. and so i did just that. after gym i rest for awhile, took power nap just before who called me eyh? forgot already lah. oohh my sister, N4, and had idriz (her 1 year old son) kebulur - teruk betul mommy ni lah. 

i got my helper to clear joey and lisa's stuffs in their rooms. kemas the laci under the bed. just had few bites of murtabak for lunch. then lapar lagi. hahha πŸ˜…makan nestum. tak sedap pulak. then before maghrib told my helper i lapar nak makan nasi & telur masak kicap je. tak de selera for anything else.

i am happy today because i get to do my first 5km cycling. i aim for 5km for 3 times a week. no matter what kena buat jugak. ok lah dah ngantuk. baru lepas habis 10pm grouping online meeting. now nak clean myself and tidur. 

i feel great today because most of the things i did today is because, i told myself to 'DO IT NOW' and i actually managed to my habit of wasting my time on my phone and social media. πŸ˜‹ kalau storm baca ni mampuih aku! storm is our team leader yang memang macam storm and battery energizer. 

Visiting Joey

21 Sept 2020: benda kalau plan susah nak jadi. but this time, my mom terus tanya dalam family chat group. my parents memang dah lama asyik tanya pasal joey je. rindu katanya. ye lah, joey ni sejak kerja kat cafe kat cyberjaya ni memang sangat jarang dia balik. dah kerja 5pm every day. camna? 

so that day aku terus bagitau aku pun nak ikut sementara ada orang nak drive ke sana. and hari tu jugak while N3 ada urusan somewhere near my house, aku pun ikut lah dia balik ke rumah. plannya lepas ambik Zharee kitorang pergi but then again sebab sekarang maghrib kan awal, my parents prefer lepas solat maghrib. bagus jugak sebab nowadays singgah surau public pun tak ada telekung disediakan disebabkan sop covid ni.

gitu gini 8 lebih jugak kitorang sampai. ambik joey kat apartment dia and terus bawa ke tamarind square for dinner. we had dinner kat 10 grams. tak de mood nak review pasal restaurant tu hari ni. next time la ya. so all of us makan western and the portion banyak jugak. yaya macam terkesima tengok joey. agaknya sebab dia lelaki and simpan rambut panjang. ahhahaha πŸ˜‚ sure confuse budak tu. 

aku tak puas sebenarnya jumpa joey sekejap2 macam tu. tak dapat nak borak sangat. setakat aku tanya pasal his classes and also his work & how he is doing. ayah aku happy jumpa joey. macam2 soalan dia tanya. both my dad and mom macam tak puas hati sebab joey lama tak balik kut. πŸ˜‹

tapi aku jenis parents yang lain. aku kena accept anak2 aku dah besar panjang and have their own preference. and i keep on telling myself, bukan anak2 tak sayang but they are young adult now. and this makes me think, i understand how my parents feel and kalau boleh memang aku nak spend more time dengan diorang - while they are still around. aku faham apa yang parents aku rasa sebab macam ni lah aku rasa bila anak2 tak ada di rumah. bezanya, mama ada ayah... tapi aku, AH jarang ada kat rumah sebab bertugas. #bertabahlah

malam tu joey kena balik around 10pm sebab dia nak tumpang housemate dia balik coz kunci rumah dengan dia katanya. and hujan. so memang kejap sangat rasanya. jadi lah buat ubat rindu. 


Coaching Certification Program by Protege Advisory


when i was working in the corporate world, i always see myself as a trainer or motivator or a speaker. i imagine myself doing that when i retire. however, i am a person who feels the need to be properly certified to do something new. just like when i took my group fitness instructor certificate, my zumba instructor license, and certificate to be a weight management consultant. πŸ€” bila dah listkan macam ni banyak jugak aku collect certificate πŸ˜‚ oh not to forget my lean six sigma green belt certificate ok 😊 i was still thinking and contemplating, and in my thoughts this could be the best time since i am not working for an employer at the moment and the classes were divided into 3 parts [not forgetting the payment too πŸ˜‹] i must say that i am also attracted to all the listed takeaways in the flyer, and these words πŸ‘‡
change your life
if you want to be your best, this is for you

even before i start to attend the classes, i know i am going to benefit from it - i will enjoy myself and be a better, transformed person for myself, and my family. only after the 1st part of the course, i noticed that i started to be a better listener, active listener and to be present in 90% of the conversation that i am in. the downside of it is that, whenever i have conversation with someone who doesn't listen and not being present, i will have this small voice in me saying "this person needs to learn about listening and be present!!"
not in the slightest idea ever came into my mind that i want to stop half way. all i know is that i am so looking forward for the next class. as i am writing this, i have another 2 more classes before the assessment for me to become a certified coach by ICF. epp.. tak boleh highlight lagi sebab belum achieve. 😜

after the 2nd part of the course i have also improved my way of 'coaching' by asking powerful questions and improve my active listening skills. and owhh i believe the flow is smoother and better structured? it is tiring and balik memang migraine lah kan. πŸ˜‚ but it is all worth it. i have also started to visualize people whom i can help to coach in the future, insyaallah. the best thing that has started now is that i learn to listen to my princess better and be present in our conversation even if at times i can feel that she is not. πŸ˜‹

anyway, there are too many interesting things to write about the sessions but time is running short. i will write more insyallah but what i can say is that, course ni memang best!

the funny part is when AH is around, and we start talking, suddenly... ehh... why am i asking questions? dah macam coaching session dah ni. πŸ˜„ and korang yang baca posting ni mesti geram kan, sebab macam tergantung je -- sebenarnya si mischa ni dah merayu2 nak masuk bilik, sebab dia kena tidur luar for biting and scratching my hand tonight!

Proton X50 Preview

today i was given the opportunity to get an invitation for Proton X50 Preview at White Ballroom, PJ. when i got a call from my cousin who wanted to give me the invitation, i told him that i will get someone to go with me since i am not allowed to drive yet. AH is back in kuantan so i decided to get AA to come with me. 

of course i was excited for the preview. i want to be able to touch and sit in X50, if only i can have a test drive, it would be lovely. but at my condition pun bukan boleh drive lagi at least until november 2020. so, all of you who reads my thoughts about this car, you've got to bear in mind that i am not a techie person and i buy cars based on what my needs are and i usually get attracted by the back of the cars. that was how i decided on getting my hyundai coupe last time. resale value does not matter to me. speed? urmmm, ok, on this matter, since i am always a careful driver [within the speed limit] most of the time, i am fine but the pick up matters, i guess. 

so, my pre-condition was, when i had a chat with AH, the car has got to have some safety measures like HRV, coz i am driving one. so these were my check list.

  1. if i accidentally left my car key in the car, will the car be able to autolock? coz HRV won't allow that and i love this feature. 
  2. the sound of the car door closed must be, "bukk' instead of like the sound of empty tin or light. it's easier for me to explain face to face πŸ˜‹
  3. i wanna have air cond for the back passengers coz i always remember whenever i drive my parents in any of my car - that's the first thing that my dad would ask for..."kereta ko tak de air cond eh kat seat belakang?" 😁 so, i want him to be happy to be in my car. 😍
  4. panoramic view / sun roof / moon roof coz i just want it. imagining night drive and it will feel so romantic! πŸ˜‹πŸ˜
  5. the bonnet must be spacious - at least like HRV
  6. the back seat is comfy enough on leg space because my mom is tall, so it has to be comfy for her in a long ride.
  7. all the lamps are auto on when it gets dark.
  8. the wiper switch on by itself when it detects rain. [AH asked to check on this]
so, yeah those are my list. AA and i arrived just around 1pm before the event started. we were ushered to a hall where we were given a presentation on the car specifications, safety measures and all. from what i understand and that attracted my attention were,
  • the car auto cruise remains at its own lane on that mode. 
  • if the driver falls asleep [micro-sleep] X50 can sway back into the original lane, provided the lane next to it is empty. for this one got to seek for further understanding.
  • owner can start the engine & air cond before getting into the car itself. this would be good when i drive my parents so that the car is at a comfy level if the weather is hot outside. 
we were then ushered to the back of the hall where they place 3 different colors of X50 but only the flagship model. ok what is flagship? it is the highest end of the X50 model with enhanced ermm what do you call it, specs? from the previous class, so to speak. well, this would be how i explain it in my own terms/understanding. 
there were many people so we only get to sit for a while to experience the car interior and also look and feel on the exterior. in summary, all the 8 items above checked and scored. πŸ’— just that they didn't have the red X50 just now, i was so looking forward to see how the color matches the seat. 

the infotainment excites me. the idea of having netflix in the car is so cool and relaxing when you are not the driver. or at least when we are stuck in the traffic πŸ˜† the downside of X50 is the sunroof cover which was thin and like a net. not a hard cover type. 
the material is thin and soft - so when the weather is hot,
you can feel the extra heat inside the car. got to find solution for this. 
i asked the sales person who was there and he answered all my questions well. and i am quite happy with the answers. as of today, they have not announced the car price yet. but with the price rumors and the specs, it would be a good buy for me, and i can reduce my monthly commitment. enjoy more pictures at the preview today. πŸ‘‡
Thank You AA, for accompanying me.
sexy back - not bad. space is slightly smaller than HRV
but i guess i can accept this.
having 2 ports to charge is a plus point.
in summary, with the price that has been flying around, 
with the specifications - it will be a good buy. 
as for the seat, if you ask me, i would say that it is hard but it sort of hold you to the seat.
HRV is softer but i guess i can accept that too.
yes, i need to make a comparison to see if it is worth it to change. so according to AH, it has better pick up than my HRV πŸ˜‹

Taraa!! Lost & Found

blogging pakai email ni, cepat sangat tertekan sent. nak share gambar ni sebenarnya! 🀣

2 weeks ago i went to Tioman with my friends and it was just over the Merdeka weekend. usually i do not wear my gold accesories for island trips but this time it was different since i will not be diving anyway. and plus i wanted to feel AH is near me or with me all the time.

and only on the journey back from the island, i realized that my engagement ring was no longer on my finger! only God knows how my heart drop at that time. i called my friend to help me check at the resort. i called the 1st hotel at tg gemok, and it was not there.

i was so sad when i told AH. its the memory of his mom putting the ring on my finger that i cherish, of course i love the ring too coz i chose the design.

checked again through my luggage bag but cant find it anywhere and after that, i told myself, "if i can't find it means it is not meant to be" of course i was sad but had to give in to Allah. what else can i do?

and just now as i was packing my bag... there is is just nicely terselit at the corner of the bag!! at first i thought i was dreaming! alhamdulillah syukur banget sih! tq Allah... tq so much!

Love Guaranteed - My Personal Review


Ariana, Nick's ex fiance. perghh memang so model material
after many times, urmmm ok lah not that many but a few times i got hooked accidentally watching indo movies. finally i am back at english movie. yey. πŸ˜† love all the actors and actress in this movie. honestly aku tak kenal pun diorang. but the character pun best. 

the story is about a lawyer yang suka tolong orang walaupun terpaksa bekerja secara percuma. demi nak mambantu orang. and sampaikan hampir2 kehilangan her lawyer firm. but i guess, kalau kita ikhlas tolong orang yang memerlukan, Allah akan berikan ganjaran yang lebih. 

so that is what the story is all about. dari kerja pro bono, she got a client yang in the end dia menang kes USD500,000. her client, Nick Evans nak sue an online dating company called 'love guaranteed' sebab dia dah keluar dating 1000 kali tapi tak jugak jatuh cinta. πŸ˜† macam2 kan, kalau kat US ni. semua main saman je. lepas tu bukan sikit2, sebab lawyer dia nak claim for USD1M. 

but anyhow, disebabkan in the end Nick jatuh cinta pulak dengan his lawyer - and boleh lah dikaitkan jugak through the website, and Nick decided to tarikh balik his demand. but in the end, yang best pulak, the founder of the online dating website was so touched with their love story, she decided to derma the amount of money as demanded earlier. 

bila dah few indo movies, semua kisah best friend tukar jadi kekasih, at least this one, fresh sikit, lari dari style cerita2 gitu. 😍 kalau korang nak tengok, boleh carik kat Netflix ya. best citer ni.. sweet sanatt..

Notes to Share

I got this from my Coaching Course Whatsapp Group. Pasting it here so that I can read this again 😊 I didn't write these ok 


I spent close to 5 years of my career by working mostly in corporate Malaysia. The corporate world is tough, mean, demanding, and rewarding. It's a pathway for not many people especially in this era filled with startups, SMEs, and family businesses. Corporate giants such as MNC & public listed are just peculiar breeds. Here are the harsh lessons the corporate world has taught me.

1. If you have a soft emotion,corporate isn't the best place for you. To climb the ladder, you must be loud, aggressive and at times selfish. If you work silently, it may go unnoticed. It's just a competitive world with limited positions.

2. You're paid to provide solutions not just to highlight the problems. The more problems you can solve, the more valuable you are to the company.

3. Your co-workers and bosses are most likely wearing 'masks' in office hence you see a different side of them during lunch breaks and Friday night drinks.

4. The person who claims to know everything actually knows the least.

5. If your manager micromanages you, it means you aren't efficient. If he/she still micromanages you despite you feeling confident, then you have a toxic boss.

6. Working with a toxic/manipulative/ narcissistic manager will mentally damage you. It shatters your confidence and esteem. It's the worst thing ever. Never attempt to talk to change them. Just quit!

7. A salary is not an entitlement, but a reflection of contribution. It's a business deal. Neither of you are doing each other any favor. Organisations run a business not a charity.

8. Never rely on your company to make you grow. Invest in your own time and money to enhance your skills. If you're not growing inside, you won't grow within the company and ultimately your career.

9. You can never run away from office politics, instead learn how to deal with it.

10. Work is never-ending. You go to work today for tomorrow's tasks. Take sick leave if you're sick. Use your paid leaves. Learn to go back on time. The company can still function without you.

11. Working beyond 6 pm just to impress your superiors is stupid.

12. If you don't believe in the company's vision, missions and culture just quit the office.

13. Follow up. Make connections everywhere from clients to suppliers. Ask around. Make yourself noticeable. Your networking can be more powerful than your knowledge especially in Malaysia's developing economy.

14. Learn to say no and accept rejections. You're not stupid for having your campaign proposal turned down during the first meeting. If you can't take rejections or criticisms well, you will suffer in corporate.

15. Sell yourself, sell your ideas but never oversell. When you oversell yourself, you start to create expectations and expectations can lead to disappointments.

16. Your bosses have bosses to impress too. Your company has shareholders, stakeholders, customers and policymakers to impress too.

17. Master the art of storytelling. No point in having a good idea but not being able to articulate it. I learnt this the hard way. Watching TED talks and reading books on negotiation helps.

18. The first 5 years of your career are essentially training so don't worry if you are not at your peak yet. But if after 5 years you're still stuck, it's time to make critical decisions.

19. 90% of emails are unnecessary so don't spend too much time crafting the 'perfect' emails. 99% of team meetings are never fruitful. Meetings are done to see who can be heard.

20. Performance reviews can be useless and awkward. You may do well but you may get a 3-star rating instead of 4 because your boss is afraid of being questioned. The slackers and gossipers will get rated 3 as well. It's unfair but this is reality.

Merdeka Dive 2020 Selamat Hari Kemerdekaan yang ke 63!
their 1st dive patutnya jumpa kat dive centre 830am. aku terfikir nak sleep in je while they all pergi dive. coz aku bukan boleh dive pun. tapi somehow, lepas solat subuh aku terus mandi and aku fikir aku akan have breakfast time diorang dah dive. 

tapi as i arrived at the dive centre, dengan HMS, memang terasa rindu dengan suasana preparation tu. aku act macho je. sekali Lee and Tash tanya if i want to be on the dive boat with them. mula2 aku tak leh nak decide. i told HMS kalau sampai kat jetty and tengok dive boat ada space lagi aku join lah. and to cut story short, i joined.
same time jugak SR contacted me and told me i am the 2nd top achiever for daily closings. alamak.. camna.. aku dah atas boat. ada ke line kat tengah laut tu? so, i gave SR my text just in case tak de line. tapi masa kat tengah tu, ada line kejap and aku sempat la practise, but bila dah time to share, terus tak de line. πŸ˜„

anyway, am glad i followed the group. masa before the 2nd dive kitorang stop kat satu teluk, air dia cantek gila. aku nak turun boat takut sebab dok fikir macamana nak naik nanti kat tangga tu sebab tangan boleh pakai sebelah je yang kuat. but then again bila semua dah turun - i find ways to turun and naik. memang air dia best sangat... and so beautiful!!

masa they were doing their 1st dive, tinggal aku dengan brader boatman, and dia tunjuk skill mancing ikan pakai tali tangsi je. tak sampai 5 minit kau, dapat ikan sekor! masa 2nd dive tu TA dgn Leez tak turun, masing2 dah letih. kitorang ni leisure diver, kalau rasa letih, tak yah turun sebab nanti tak enjoy pun. so ended up both of them tido atas boat sambil tunggu divers naik balik.

i think by noon we all are done with 2 dives and got back to our chalets. masing2 tido. well sebenarnya aku yang lebih2 tido. penat di buat ombak kut masa atas boat. mandi petang pastu get ready for BBQ and ada karaoke. saje jer syok2 antara kitorang. dok kat pulau lagu bukan banyak pun. lagipun aku dah lama tak karoks. dah tak ingat lagu2. and RMS pulak suruh aku nyanyi lagu baby shima la apa lah.. aku layankan je lah. janji happy orang kata. i really had fun. nak pi pulau lagi rasanya - doing nothing.

Platonic Relationship Opposite Gender

haaa macam complicated je tajuk posting kali ni kan? well i am supposed to sambung day 2 of my tioman trip but tak pe, iklan dulu dengan posting ni, ok?

aku dah terjebak nonton movie indo, dah 2 kali. terrr sebenarnya tapi best jugak. cuma i noticed that movie indo ni suka benor buat kisah relationship yang asalnya good friends or close friends aleh2 jadi a couple. dulu aku ni kuat menyangkal that kalau man and woman rapat akan ada special relationship in the end. but thru these 2 movies, end up kawin or they fall in love. 

pastu aku teringat pulak pasal aku dengan AH. kitorang pun pada asalnya kawan jer. i tell him stories about my life and he tells me his mine. but then again, pasal AH, he is more of a listener than talker. but masa dulu kitorang mula2 kawan tak de la he treats me as special pun. i am just one of his female friends yang dia akan connect bila dia ada line. 

so anyway, what do you say? betul ke kalau lelaki & perempuan tak boleh jadi best friend? and aku teringat jugak antara aku dgn AA, kitorang karoks buddy dah bertahun dah, ok je. he has his own life and love and so do i. hmmm 

aku nangis tengok citer ni.. adeh.. but so sweet

aku suka laki watak Bimo tu, handsome doe..
