[kids] halal and no msg

[nirwana]
oki run to me with a hand full of chocolate, "papa, is it okey to buy me one, there is a halal sign and no msg", my five year old boy asking for a snack. no wonder for me, my kids asked me like that as i tried to embed deep in their head that we can only eat halal food and msg can make us stupid as it is a toxic for our brain... and it works.

when we go to hypermart or carrefour to buy goods, they will ready to fill up their basket with candy and snack. i do encourage them to set how much they want to buy and i have set them such boundaries: known brand with halal sign and no msg. eventhough sometime the manufacturers manipulated msg with mono sodium glutamate or mono natrium glutamate. sometimes my kids pointed out on the ingridients that there is no "msg", but i clarified that msg is similar with mono sodium glutamate or mono natrium glutamate, as written in ingredient.

sometimes, i let them to buy one, specially when oki asked something that crossing my boundary. he will keep asking me "please, papa ... just once and i want it so much ... please papa". but now, the kids have better understanding.

while for me and my wife, our boundary is more stringent - we will seek "halal food" from legal MUI and "made in Indonesia" is most preferred goods. I gave up using Mobile-1 and use Fastron of Pertamina, I keep buying Pertamax instead of Shell or Petronas fuel gas. I selectively buy Cadburry to avoid "made in Malaysia", never bought Pantene of Thailand and buy Dove or Clear of Unilever.

Later, I will educate my kids higher after moving class from "halal with no msg" to "legally halal, no msg and made in Indonesia".

Thing that I keep buying regularly is K Link product as some product is made in Indonesia, Malaysia, USA or India.

[Me] 5 days behind my 40

Following is special comment from my boss as Central Coach, Walt in Houston related my movement to other position...

Muiz,
I appreciate your comments and have enjoyed having you on my team. You have made a huge impact in a relatively short time and I thank you for your efforts and contributions to our team and the asset. I have spoken to her and agree with the decision to move you to the Director of Organization Capability (DOC) role. I am confident that you will do an outstanding job and it is an important role. The MOC is the key next step and I believe that your time will be best spent working on that. I will be making future visits to Jakarta and we will have the opportunity to meet and discuss more face to face. Muiz, I will take your call at 9am Houston time when you call.
Regards,


It's relieving to have support from him as he was welcoming me good when first I joined this global central coach, but now I have to leave this to another role.

Both is global role - I will be road warrior globally in this or the other role.

Thanks, Walt

This is my last posting related my new job.

[Me] 5 days behind my 40

[Nirwana]
January 30, 2007 or 5 days behind my birthday, there was announcement about me for new position after last than a year assignment in Central Coach ... a global role for operation excellence. I have to move to other position as a director in one of directorate in this company. I am sure this is good for my carrier, but the challange or "risk" & "price" are significant if i can perform this.

Eventhough the effective date is March 1st, but the announcement 5 days before my 40 is like special gift for the Lord, Allah the Almighty.

Me: New Year and New Assignment


[January 23]

Finally another year has gone with the wind ... I am older than a year ago. Thanks to the Lord for all happiness and sadness, for all things He has given me, He has taken from me and He has left for me.

This year is special for me and always, 2007, 1997, 1987, 1977 and 1967 ... seven is my magic number. Just several days ahead, I will be fourty ... too old to make a sin and too young to die.

Beginning of the year, I have expected to get a new position after one year assignment as Central Coach, working with global community. I shared this news to all my Central Coaches in world wide, as I will not attend the 2007 annual global meeting in Houston for next two weeks. Following is their comment:

Mark, Aberdeen
