Budaya dalam Organisasi

Image
Budaya dalam organisasi merujuk kepada perspektif pandangan ahli-ahli sesuatu organisasi; makdusnya bagaimana mereka melihat sesuatu perkara. Ada 3 perkara yang kita boleh tengok bagaimana budaya dalam sesuatu organisasi: Artifak – merujuk kepada persekitaran fizikal yang menyampaikan sesuatu makna dalam budaya organisasi tersebut Teknologi – merujuk kepada bagaimana organisasi menukar input daripada persekitaran di luarnya Corak perlakuan – merujuk kepada corak perlakuan ahli-ahli organisasi dalam persekitaran organisasi tersebut Ada beberapa perkara bagaimana budaya organisasi dimanifestasikan: Simbol & Artifak Hal ini merujuk kepada sebarang objek ataupun aspek dalam persekitaran organisasi yang menyampaikan sesuatu makna dalam budaya organisasi tersebut, di mana simbol merujuk kepada persekitaran fizikal manakala artifak merujuk kepada objek-objek material. Upacara & Ritual Upacara merujuk kepada hal-hal yang dilakukan untuk meraikan atau menandakan satu per

"Just Say Hi - Live Performance" - Behind The Scenes of My Mind

Image
About a week ago, I had the chance to perform a rap live, as I’ve documented here: (Yes, I will make a proper lyric video, I’m working on it. Pray that God will ease me in doing so.) But what I did not document was the thought process of me consciously making that decision & finally performing. This is what I want to share today. I’ve written the lyrics for quite a long time, and I’ve wanted to perform it so badly. But of course, I cannot help myself but to have all kind of thought. A Muslim girl want to perform a rap? That is highly unusual, in Malaysia at least from what I know. So I cannot help but think, not just about the performance, but from the very first step itself; wanting to perform. “Can I do well?” “Should I do this? “How do I tell people I want to do it?”  “How will people react?” “What if they put low expectation on me? What if they belittle me?” “What if they put high expectation on me? Will I meet their expectation?”  “Can I really to do th

Pelaburan yang Gagal VS Pembaziran

Image
Bayangkan kau ialah seorang pelajar tingkatan 5, yang baru lepas SPM, yang sedang dalam pertimbangan untuk memilih bidang & kerjaya untuk diceburi selepas SPM. Bayangkan 2 situasi berikut. Situasi 1: Dalam banyak-banyak bidang, kau rasa kau yakin dengan bidang fizik. Taklah semestinya kau minat gila nak mati. Tapi yang penting, kau yakin. Jadi, kau niat nak ambil PTPTN atau biasiswa sebab kau tak nak susahkan keluarga kau, dan kau rasa kau sanggup untuk berpisah jauh daripada keluarga kau kalau kau dapat peluang untuk sambung belajar di tempat yang jauh. Dan beberapa pengorbanan lain juga perlu dilakukan. Tapi kau tekad, sebab kau yakin dengan bidang tu. Jadi, kau pun sambung belajar dengan tekun dalam bidang tu untuk 3-4 tahun. Malangnya, selepas graduasi, kau dapat tahu terlalu ramai graduan yang ambil bidang yang sama, dengan kelayakan & kebolehan yang pelbagai (kebanyakannya lebih layak daripada kau), yang sama-sama memohon kerja. Persaingan menjadi sengit. K

The EyduKaSyun Podcast!

Image
I’m now launching a brand new podcast. It’s call EyduKaSyun. This podcast will be discussing subjects that I’ve learnt in the university. Worth to note, I’m a psychology student, so most of these subjects will be about psychology. So, if you’re a psychology student, this will be a great opportunity for you to learn, when you don’t feel like picking up & reading books. You just plug your earphones in & you’re ready to go! And of course, apart from psychology students, you guys are also welcomed to hear, listen & learn. And obviously, I’m still a baby in making podcasts, so don’t ever hesitate to inform me things that I need to improve. I need it badly, as a matter of fact. So, now that I’ve told you this, I can’t wait to see you guys on the podcast. See ya!

Just Say Hi - Live Performance

Image
Alhamdulillah, one thing crossed off my bucket list; performing a rap live. As someone who always view things objectively, I can’t help but to notice every single mistake that I did. I don’t know what to with my hands. I stuttered some lines. My voice that I had intended didn’t come out. I try to look like I’m not just standing still, though I don’t really move. In fact, overall, I didn’t really fancy the performance. But I’m so glad that I did it. And, BTW, YES, I AM going to make a video on this. In fact, I’ve written this & planned to perform it for quite a long time. As it is a very important topic for me, and especially in this era, I believe many people can relate to the lyrics. So, may Allah ease my process in making the video. p/s: So grateful for that boy (on the left) being the hype man! I didn’t deserve it though, but I’m so glad he did it. Thank you! (I believe his name is Iqbal)

Kelemahan Orang Melayu yang Orang Melayu Sendiri Tak Perasan

Image
Apa kelemahan tu? Senang je. Kelemahan itu ialah; kita terlalu banyak berbicara tentang kelemahan kita. Contoh 1: Aku ada pernah ternampak satu video di mana orang bukan Malaysia memberi reaksi kepada muzik Malaysia. Aku pun menatal ke bawah (baca: scroll down ) untuk membaca komen-komen. (Ya, aku pun baru tahu scroll down ialah tatal dalam Bahasa Melayu bila nak tulis ni) Sebab biasanya apabila aku tengok video-video yang bersifat begini, di mana seseorang memberi reaksi kepada perkara yang bukan dalam lingkungannya (budaya lain, agama lain, bangsa lain), biasanya aku nampak komen-komen sebegini daripada budaya, agama & bangsa yang ‘direaksikan’ tu: “Terima kasih sudi belajar tentang budaya kami!” “Saya sangat berbangga sebagai seorang ________ apabila awak buat video ni.” “Seronok tengok awak beri reaksi kepada _______ saya ini.” Jadi, aku pun tatal la ke bawah, dengan jangkaan aku akan jumpa komen-komen itu daripada orang Malaysia. Malah, aku agak teruja n

Cycle of Winning & Cycle of Losing

Image
Have you ever watched that episode of SpongeBob where he breaks his butt while sand-sledding? Yeah, his bottom shattered, and at the hospital, he was told that one more injury like that & he may end up in the "iron butt". So SpongeBob went on "around-the-clock butt patrol," and it seemed like the entire outside world is out to break his butt. So he changed, deciding to stay home forever. As a result, he was transferred from the cycle of winning to the cycle of losing. Think about it. SpongeBob is one of the character I’ve known to take many, many, risks. He did not afraid of almost anything. But, at least in regards to that particular episode, after that accident, he doesn’t go out home, he works from home, and makes friends with inanimate objects. Why? “The world is dangerous.” The same thing could happen to us. No, I don’t mean you can shatter you bottom while sand-sledding & still magically be alive. What I mean is, we humans go through fa

Pakaian Sukan di Malaysia

Image
Baru-baru ni tular kenyataan bahawa Terengganu akan memastikan atlet-atlet bola sepak memakai pakaian yang patuh syariah mulai tahun depan. Dan, bersama itu juga, tular respon YB Syed Saddiq terhadap kenyataan tersebut, di mana dakwa YB, kita perlu menghormati pemilihan pemakaian atlet-atlet tersebut. I’ll go straight to the point. Kalau salah, tolong betulkan. Kalau berbeza pendapat, silalah berlapang dada. Aku percaya kalau kita tanya atlet-atlet Muslim, mereka nak pakaian yang syariah-compliant tak, mesti mereka nak. Cuma selama ini, mereka memang tak boleh pakai pakaian yang syariah-compliant, sebab sukan yang mereka libatkan diri tu, melarang pemakaian selain daripada pakaian yang ditetapkan, yakni antara ciri-ciri pakaian tersebut adalah tidak syariah-compliant. Jadi, takkanlah mereka nak langgar peraturan? Tapi, kalau kita tengok, sekarang ni, ramai sahaja atlet Muslim di negara-negara lain, yang pakai pakaian syariah-compliant, dan masih aktif & hebat bersukan. Ja

Ideals Are Not Standard

Image
What is the difference between ideal & standard? Ideal is satisfying one's conception of what is perfect; most suitable, desirable or perfect. Standard is a level of quality or attainment, also used or accepted as normal or average. I’ll give you examples. A 4.0 CGPA is ideal, while a 2.0 CGPA is standard. A monthly salary of 20k is ideal, while a monthly salary of 2k is standard A grave danger will come upon us if we started to treat ideals as standard. As a women, I use to hear this a lot in the feminist perspective, where a woman should not obey to the beauty standards, which are more like ideals than standards. And, whether you are a feminist or not, I bet you can understand & agree with this statement. But, expanding that, we can also see that this applies to all aspects of our lives, not just beauty. There are reasons why standards are standards, and ideals are ideals. We cannot mix the two of them together. In fact, the word 'ideal

Khas untuk pelajar SPM...

"SPM bukan segala-galanya." Betul, tepat sekali. Tapi kalau kau tak nak berusaha bersungguh-sungguh hanya sebab alasan ini, kau takkan ke mana-mana dalam hidup kau. SPM bukanlah segala-galanya. Universiti bukanlah segala-galanya. Keluarga & perkahwinan bukanlah segala-galanya. Malah kalau kita tengok daripada sudut yang lebih besar, dunia ini bukan segala-galanya, dunia ni hanya sementara. Dah tu, kalau kau guna alasan tu, kat celah mana kau nak usaha sungguh-sungguh lagi? Takkanlah sebab semua benda itu sementara, maka kita buat semua benda sambil lewa? Nanti masuk universiti pun kau belajar setakat nak lulus, kerja berkumpulan kau tak sumbang apa-apa, kau kerja pun sambil lewa, perkahwinan & keluarga pun kau tubuhkan ikut syarat saja. Jadi, nanti kalau kau meninggal dunia, kami pun buat pengebumian ala kadar sahaja, cukuplah kalau kau dah masuk 6 kaki bawah tanah. Nanti masa dihitung hisab, Tuhan pun hitung sambil lewa, sebab sikap kau terhadap tanggungj

“When you get better, when you fall, it definitely hurts more.”

A few days ago, I went roller-skating with a friend of mine. For your information, especially if you have never been doing this but wanting so badly to do it, roller-skating is not a thing that you can just do. There’s basics that you need to learn. To me specifically, it’s like learning how to walk again differently. And it makes sense, considering that you are moving with completely different ‘feet’, with different physics rules being applied to it. So, do try to Google first how to roller-skate, and don’t expect yourself to be sliding in just seconds. Anyway, back to the story… I have my basics down, but not my friend. So I taught her step by step, and she caught on as time flew. One obvious thing, she fell down a lot. Again, makes sense. You are basically learning to walk again. Babies fall down a bunch of time before they can master walking. But as I mentioned, she caught on the basics, and after a few hours, she could decently skate. But as she got better, she hesitated mor

#MoneyChallenge

So… #MoneyChallenge huh? I’ll take a shot. I really did took a leap of faith to trust myself in making this video, by freestyling. Okay, to be honest, I did plan what to say, and I did practiced a bit. But I really try to trusted myself with the flow. And I don’t think it’s perfect, but it’s not that bad either, ey? 😁 p/s: that Logan is from Sanders Sides Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KellyTellyPage/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TweetKellyTelly Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellytelly_ig/ YouTube: http://bit.ly/2DpIrBN SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/kelly-telly Anchor: https://anchor.fm/kelly-telly

Dampingi yang Baik, Jauhi yang Jahat?

Image
"Bersahabat dengan orang yang soleh dan dengan orang yang jahat persis seperti berkawan dengan pengedar minyak wangi dan tukang besi (yang menghembus bara api). Pengedar minyak wangi sama ada ia memberi anda sebahagian atau anda membeli bau-bauan daripadanya atau sekurang-kurangnya anda mendapat juga baunya. Manakala tukang besi pula samada ia menyebabkan baju anda terbakar atau anda mendapat bau yang hapak." (Riwayat Abu Daud) "Jangan bersahabat dengan orang yang durjana nanti menjangkit kedurjanaanya kepada anda. Awas dari berkawan dengan rakan/sahabat yang jahat." (Al-Mustadrak ala al Sahihain) “ Wanita-wanita yang tidak baik untuk laki-laki yang tidak baik, dan laki-laki yang tidak baik adalah untuk wanita yang tidak baik pula. Wanita yang .baik untuk lelaki yang baik dan lelaki yang baik untuk wanita yang baik. (Quran, An Nur:26) Islam sangat mementingkan kepentingan seseorang itu untuk berdamping dengan seseorang yang baik, baik untuk tujuan persahabatan

Why I Love Sanders Sides

Image
deviantart.com [spoilers alert] Sanders Sides is a web series on YouTube starring Thomas Sanders and written by Sanders and Joan Stokes. On the series, Thomas is a guy who projects the different aspects of his personality into mainly four characters called the Sanders Sides (Logan, Patton, Roman, Virgil). With them, Thomas has conversations where he analyzes the various inner conflicts or dilemmas he goes through in his life and tries to find solutions for them. And for me, saying that I love the series, is an understatement. Because it's not like I'm obsessed with it too much and watched it every single day (although I did went through that phase initially). I just love it for the fact of how well the series portrays how humans' inner thoughts work. The four facets represented by the four characters (logic for Logan, morality for Patton, creativity for Roman, anxiety for Virgil) are definitely not the only facets of our lives. We all have more than o

Adakah Label Membawa Perpecahan?

Image
Kita semua ada label yang melekat dalam diri kita. Melayu. Muda. 15 tahun. Cina. Suka pergi karaoke. Pemalas. Pandai study. Tak pandai matematik. Pandai bisnes. Tua. Suka main golf. Suka pergi Wet World. India. Mewah. Pengumpul gadget. Dalam dunia post-modern sekarang ini, isu-isu seksisme, rasisme dan segala 'ism' ini, dikatakan berpunca daripada label-label ini. Dikatakan bahawa kita seharusnya buang segala label-label ini daripada diri kita, dan label-label ini tidak melambangkan diri kita. Aku setuju dengan satu perkara; label-label itu berpotensi untuk membawa kepada perpecahan. Aku juga faham bahawa hal ini diutarakan untuk meningkatkan tahap kesedaran orang awam terhadap isu perpecahan. Namun, secara literalnya, aku tak rasa bahawa label-label ini perlu dibuang. Kerana walaupun label itu boleh membawa perpecahan, label itu sendiri tidak menyebabkan perpecahan. Kita, manusialah, yang menjadikan label itu sebagai satu alat untuk kita berpecah-belah. Cuba kita f
