Tumis Air Bayam Merah

Kita hari-hari memang kena masak dan makan sayur. Tak kiralah apa-apa sayur pun kerana ia sebenarnya baik untuk kesihatan. 

Dulu kami tak berapa suka makan sayur..

Kalau mak masak sayur , kami kerap juga merungut.. terutamanya bila mak masak bening.. atau tumis air. Pasti bosan rasanya.. "macam lauk orang sakit aje.. " rungut kami setiap kali pulang sekolah di sajikan dengan sayur air...

Pencuk, Jelatah, Acar timun nenas atau Acar Cuka, semuanya adalah sama....

Pencuk, Jelatah, Acar timun nenas atau acar cuka adalah nama bagi makanan yang sama. Mungkin lain daerah lain gelarannya. 

Kaedah membuat Acar cuka sangat mudah kerana ianya tidak perlu di masak. Acar cuka ni tak tahan lama, ia cepat rosak kerana timun dan nenas tu mudah berair dan membuatkan ia tidak tahan lama . Jika di buat untuk sekali makan sahaja dan bukan untuk di simpan berhari-hari di dalam peti ais.

Selain timun, nenas dan lobak, ada juga meletakkan kobos yang di hiris nipis. Tak kiralah kobis putih, atau kobis unggu.

Ada sesetengah orang menaburkan sedikit bijan yang telah di sangai atau kacang tanah yang telah di goreng dan di tumbuk.

Pencuk atau acar timun ini biasanya enak di makan bersama nasi minyak, nasi tomato, nasi bukhari, nasi beriani atau nasi-nasi yang sewaktu dengannya. lauk yang serasi bersamanya kebiasannya lauk ayam masak merah, memang sesuai sangan lah gandingan pasangan berdua ini.

Keeping Employees Happy, 5 Key Lessons

Keeping Employees Happy

According to a JobStreet.com survey on Employee Job Satisfaction in Malaysia, 78% of the respondents claimed that they were unhappy with their current job. While it is often perceived that the main reason many young talent leave a company is due to the low salary, only 17% out of the 1,145 respondents quoted salary as the main reason for influencing their unhappiness at their current job.

Dissatisfaction with their scope of work was the top reason many felt unhappy at work. Most of these unhappy employees said they felt that they have too much work or that their work is predictable and boring. Another factor was also their poor relationship with their immediate supervisor or boss.

Overall, the employees agreed that the key changes determining their wellbeing at work would need to include opportunities for career development and also work-life balance in the company. If the needs are not met, the majority said they would find another job to restore their happiness at work.

Research has showed that profits are higher when employees are loyal and engaged in the company while on the contrary, the company suffers when employees feels unmotivated or undervalued. Studies have also shown that engaged employees perform better, miss less work, adaptable and are more supportive to changes.

Happy employees are also satisfied and feel a sense of accomplishment in their work – a sense that what they do is important and meaningful. Such feelings reduce stress, which is a major factor of productivity.

To create an environment where happiness and productivity flourish, here are 5 key lessons to consider:- 

7 Kesilapan Ini Biasa Orang Lakukan Semasa 'Interview'

Tidak semua syarikat di dunia mementingkan resume yang diberikan pemburu kerja semasa temuduga. Penemuduga selalunya mengambil masa kurang 10 minit untuk menyelak resume yang diberi, dan selebihnya bergantung kepada bahasa badan calon temu duga itu sendiri.

Bahasa badan atau 'body language' sering dipandang remeh atau langsung tidak dipedulikan oleh calon temuduga disebabkan mereka terlalu fokus kepada penyampaian resume atau penampilan diri.

Namun sebaliknya, pergerakan badan memainkan peranan penting dalam menyokong resume calon, sekali gus menampilkan calon sebagai individu yang berkeyakinan tinggi atau kreatif.

Berikut adalah tujuh kesilapan besar melibatkan bahasa badan yang dilakukan oleh calon semasa temuduga.

Price Hikes We Dread In 2016

The year 2015 was certainly not an easy one for Malaysians, from having to adjust to fuel subsidy removals starting December 2014, to having to cope with price hikes that came with the implementation of the 6% Goods and Services Tax (GST) in April, to having to weather the weakening Ringgit, which hit a 17-year-low against the US dollar (at 4.40) in September due to falling crude oil prices.

To top it up, tolls at highways operated by 11 concessionaires were also raised by between 20 sen and RM3 in October.

Will the upcoming year spell better news for our wallets? We are not counting on it. In fact, there will be further all-round price increments that we are totally not looking forward to. What are they? Read on to find out.

Perlu Atau Ingin?

Keperluan atau keinginan? Ungkapan ini yang sering terlintas di fikiran apabila melihat barang yang disukai di pusat membeli-belah. Perasaan tertarik dan keinginan untuk memiliki mendorong diri untuk membeli. Ia perkara biasa yang dilalui oleh semua orang. Ramai orang mempunyai wang, tetapi yang membezakan anda dengan orang lain adalah jumlah wang yang dimiliki dan cara wang itu disalurkan.

Perkara asas yang diajar ketika kita masih kecil jika mempunyai wang adalah untuk menabung. Sesungguhnya ia amalan yang amat berguna untuk masa hadapan. Ramai golongan muda masa kini gemar menghabiskan wang mengikut nafsu seperti membeli barang-barang yang bukan keperluan sehingga tiada duit simpanan. Ini menjadi masalah besar kelak ketika duit yang benar-benar diperlukan untuk tujuan yang lebih penting seperti berkahwin dan membeli rumah tidak mencukupi. Sebagai contoh, seorang lelaki yang baru mendapat kerja dengan gaji RM2,700 ingin membeli kereta buatan luar negara dengan harga hampir mencecah RM100,000, sedangkan dia dah ada kereta buatan tempatan yang masih berfungsi dengan baik. Jika dilihat secara realiti, memang tiada salahnya membeli kereta baru, tetapi dia tidak PERLU membeli kereta itu sebenarnya.
