meNiNGkat uSiA

Semalam Raman Kerbau ada sms bahawa beliau nak datang KL pagi ni untuk bekerja part time dengan Sutok selama 2-3 hari. Saya beritahu beliau insyaallah bolehlah kot kalau free saya akan datang ofis Sutok untuk jiB nanti. Mungkin boleh ajak Walid dengan Apek sekali kalau dia orang pun free.

Lama rasanya saya tak menulis artikel berbentuk rencana dalam blog. Bukan tiada idea tetapi kekadang tu idea ada tapi tak berkesempatan untuk saya catatkan di mana-mana. Akhirnya terlupa begitu sahaja dan kalau recall balik macam idea tu tak berapa nak cukup jer.

Ahad lepas saya menziarah kawan saya Mejar (B) Yahya di Wad Dermatology HKL. Beliau yang berusia 62 tahun mendapat alahan kulit yang dikatakan berpunca dari wrong medication. Teruk juga saya lihat dengan hampir seluruh badan keluar bintik merah dan di bahagian muka pecah-pecah terutama di bibir dan mulut. Mungkin lama beliau akan terus berada di wad kerana saya dapati pesakit di sebelah katil beliau sudah hampir sebulan di rawat kerana penyakit yang sama. Mejar (B) Yahya dan beberapa rakan golf saya sebenarnya ada yang sudah berumur 60 tahun ke atas. Sebelum mereka ini berumur 60 tahun saya lihat kebanyakan fizikal mereka begitu kuat dan boleh saya katakan sekuat fizikal macam kita yang berusia awal 40an.

Tetapi apabila sahaja mereka mencecah umur 60 tahun, terdapat perubahan fizikal yang ketara dan boleh lihat keadaan mereka semakin kurang keupayaan fizikalnya. Sedangkan kita yang telah mencecah usia 40an ini mengalami bermacam-macam perubahan fizikal, rupa-rupanya kalau dipanjangkan umur kita mencecah 60an, akan berlaku sekali lagi perubahan fizikal terhadap diri kita. Itupun tak tahulah tentang seksual lagi macam mana perubahannya terutama bagi lelaki. Kalau perempuan tu kita dah tahu, dah confirm punya monopause. Tapi kalau jantan ni mungkin ada yang makin bagus sebab itulah ada yang tambah collection lagi bila cecah umur macam tu agaknya....

Salam.., Abgjemm tertarik dgn artikel cek kida ita nie.., sebenarnya bila masuk bab2 kesihatan nie bab kata omputeh 'Prevention is better than cure' sebab nya pulak bak kata org melayu 'sakit nie nak datang macam ribut, nak pergi macam semut..,'
Apa pun kita kena redha dgn ketentuan Allah..,Disini Abgjemm ada sebuah artikel yg abgjemm dapatkan utk staff abgjemm.., amalkanlah.., InsyaAllah...

You don't live at your office (although some days it feels like you do), but you can still do your part at work to be as environmentally minded as you are at home. These simple suggestions can be easily implemented to make your workday a little more sustainable:

• Bike, walk, take public transportation or carpool. If you are attached to your car or don't find green commuting as convenient as driving, try alternating driving with a greener option once or twice a week.

• Get a plant for your desk. Indoor plants act as filters that suck up all the pollutants created by your computer equipment while also cooling the air in your office. Plants cool air through a process called transpiration that transfers water from plants into the atmosphere. This allows them to act as a natural air conditioner, keeping the office a little cooler during the warm summer days.

• Green your lunch. Bringing food prepared at home cuts down on the tremendous amounts of waste and packaging that restaurants produce daily. Lunch brought from home also tends to be healthier, have a more realistic serving size and is a better value. Take it a step further and make your lunch from fresh, local ingredients purchased from a farmers' market. Wash down your lunch with a cup of fair trade, organic coffee or water from the water filter, not from a disposable water bottle.

• Take the stairs, a simple and healthy energy-saving alternative to the elevator.

• Save paper. Print on both sides, use a note pad made from scraps or don't print at all - and encourage others to do the same. Then recycle the paper when you're done with it. Creating recycled paper saves 55 percent water as compared to producing virgin paper. Recycled paper also takes 60 to 70 percent less energy to produce than paper from virgin pulp. In addition, set up your Word program default to have narrow margins and your printer to print double sided. If more text fits on each page, you will end up saving paper over time when printing these documents.

• Take your name off unwanted catalog and newspaper subscriptions. Use it to reduce mailbox clutter while helping save natural resources. You can still get your daily news fix by reading newspapers online.

• Save energy. Turn your computer off at the end of the day, and put it on energy-saving mode during the day; most computers have the option to go to "sleep" or default to a screensaver after periods of inactivity. Don't forget the copiers, postage machines and printers while you're at it. And just as you do at home, turn the lights off when you leave your desk, the conference room or the bathroom.

• Use videoconferencing to meet "face-to-face" with remote colleagues instead of traveling. Download the free software for Skype and use it to videoconference. This online tool saves considerable money and the carbon footprint associated with traveling to meet in person.
The biggest thing to remember about making green choices at work is that small actions can make a big impact. If everyone at your workplace adopts at least one of these tips, it can amount to big changes for our environment.and your company's pocketbook.

Wish all of you a happy and nice day ahead..,!!!
