KPI

Assalamualaikum all,

K.P.I. ~ Key Performance Index.
It's the index they use to measure your performance for a year. Every beginning of a year, the KPI will be set by the superior. For example, we must at least publish two papers for a year. Two papers is the performance index. If we managed to fulfill this basic requirement, we considered achieved the basic requirement. If we published more than that, we can be deemed excellent as a lecturer (one of the criteria). And.. the word KPI is heard being mention over and over again. And we strive hard to fulfill the KPI. Some even work extra hours to achieve the KPI. Some even come to work on weekends just to fulfill the KPI. This is how tough the working life is. And most of the time the KPI is being reviewed after each year. If achieved successfully, most likely the standard will be increased which more pressure for the workers to fulfill.

There was a post on the FB page of one of my senior and FB friend. It's a conversation that he had with a much junior friend. i borrowed the scenario as I found some truth in it:

Friend: How are you Dato'? How is your BP, glucose, cholestrol and heart doing?
Dato': Well... Alhamdulillah. Everything is ok. But... being at this age there are times when my BP go across the border.
Friend: Perhaps if you set your KPI lower, your BP will be lower as well.

Yes... I could not agree more with this. The work pressure that we have has been putting so much stress on everyone. A neighbor recently passed away at the aged of 43 living behind a wife with 4 kids and written on his death certificate something that has this meaning,"Burst capillary due to stress". I do not know the medical terms, but this is how it is being translated in laymen term. It is true that the time of death had been stamped, written by Allah SWT earlier, but the reason for the demise showed us what kind of world we are living in now. May Allah bless my neighbor and put him in jannah together with the righteous.

Therefore, let's live a balance and healthy life. Balance between the world and hereafter (akhirah). Prepare ourselves with enough supplies to live happily in the forever world. Stay healthy because there are so much that we can give when we are healthy.

By the way .... have you fulfill your Muslim KPI? Have you renewed your Muslim KPI? Let's fulfill and renew it for the better and higher standard as these will give rewards in the forever world.

Wallahu a'lam.

Asrama K.Ngah at MITST Alam Impian

Assalamualaikum. Asrama? Biasalah. Ramai yang pergi asrama. Nothing exciting about asrama. When I was a child, I used to read the story books. Series of them. We have the Famous Five, Secret Seven, Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and one of my favorite is the Malory Towers. Malory Towers tells a story about life in a boarding school. It is also a reason for me wanted to go to a hostel. It motivates me. I always thought that all hostels are as envisioned by the writer. Luxury place to stay with lots of friends around. Full of activities and adventure. But...well.... story books are mostly fictitious. It was written to draw readers into purchasing it. My hostel was far worst that what I imagined. But there is where I grew up - my teenage life. Sending K.Ngah aka. Sabrina to her hostel last Sunday, brought back the Malory Towers into me. The dorm was luxurios. Single bedded. Six in a room. Large closet. Plenty of storage space (drawers attached to the bottom of the bed). And a study

Antara Anyer dan Jakarta

"Antara Anyer dan Jakarta" was a title of a song sang by Sheila Majid back in 80s. I tried to find the meaning of "Anyer" using the Google translate but to no avail. What about the song? Nothing. It's just because I just came back from Jakarta for a conference trip cum SHOPPING trip. I was accompanied by Suzana Ahmad and Norizan. Day 1: ====== Our journey began on 12th December. At approximately 5am, the driver reached my house. Izan is already there, in a short while Suzana arrived. We headed to KLIA. The check-in was a winding queue. After checking-in it leaves us with barely enough time for fajr prayer. At 9am, the tree stooges sat foot on the Indonesia land. We make a quick visit to the money changer and proceed for a cab. We have planned for the trip carefully and agreed to travel light as we will not be checking-in to the hotel upon arrival as the checking in time is only at 3pm. Instead, we headed towards our first destination, TANAH ABANG. It is r

Doa ketika ternampak orang sakit dan mohon terhindar darinya.

Assalamualaikum, Ahad malam Isnin. Malam yang sedih sayu. Biasanya hari Ahad, adalah hari ziarah anak-anak atau hari menghantar anak-anak balik ke asrama. Upon doing that, when entering the home, I can feel the emptiness. The quiet house, no greetings, no laughters. And due to that, I will make my way to the surau, to gather bits of pearl of knowledge. "O Allah, forgive me if the reason for my being in Your masjid is wrong Forgive me, Ya Allah. But truthfully, its too quiet at home, and to me, being in the masjid is more meaningful rather than locked in the empty house alone. Forgive me Ya Allah." And tonight, it was Ustaz Firdaus. Sharing on Feqah. And one thing that I really think fruitful to share is this piece of doa.  ‘Alhamdulillah hillazi aafani mim mabtalaka bihi wa fadhalaani ala kaseerim mimman khalaqa tafdheela.” The Prophet said: “If somebody recites this dua while he saw someone else in some fatigue or tensions, he would not be involved in t
