Me in Sime Darby Employee Portal
Sime Darby Motors - Job Rotations Updates
We catch up on news about Meg and Zahidi who are serving their job rotations overseas and the changes in their lifestyles.
The write-up ...
Sime Darby Motors - Job Rotations Updates
Written by Meha Kasbun - Talent & Performance, HR, Motor Division.
In the last HR Conference we introduced Meg Lui who was assigned to Singapore doing payroll in the Sime Darby Management Services Singapore and Zahidi who eventually went to Auckland as People Performance Manager at Sime Darby Motor Group Head Office in Auckland.
Check out how they have settled down....

Meg - the lady in red at her office in Singapore.
Meg is coping really well with her job and is gearing to be the important person for Sime Darby employees in Singapore as she is one of the two payroll system experts there. She obviously has a good team supporting and guiding her there. Bravo to the Singapore team for the excellent
support and comradeship!!

Zahidi with his colleagues at the Ferrari showroom.
As for Zahidi, check him out in the Ferrari showroom. For those who know Zahidi personally, you should also notice how he has slimed down and is looking more handsome than ever now… he walks 6 km a day from office to his new found home while enjoying the nice weather and staying healthy.
Actually, he is missing Malaysian food which contributed to the reduced inches on his waist. For those who will be visiting Auckland, I am sure he will love it if you can "seludup" in "sambal tumis" for him!!

Vol 2 - Apa yang bezanya?
Untuk melengkapkan minuman harian, pelbagai jenis susu sedia ada di pasaran ... full cream, lite cream, etc ... dan harganya pun murah.

Jadi apa yang bezanya? Di Malaysia pun ada susu ... he he he
Bezanya, di sini orang New Zealand tidak menggunakan susu pekat atau condensed milk untuk minuman. Tidak seperti Malaysia, di mana ianya adalah bahan utama untuk teh tarik, milo ais, horlicks, etc.
Sebaliknya, susu pekat hanya digunakan untuk masakan seperti caramel. Dan bila aku ceritakan yang kita guna susu pekat untuk minuman ... aku diketawakan ! Huh!

Siapa Dia?
Dari hari ke sehari aku asyik lupa nak bercerita pasal my new friend ni ... Si Teddy ... huh! Mesti korang rasa hairan bin ajaib ... Zahidi main dengan Teddy Bear? Biar betul? Dah buang tabiat ke ?
Ops! Aku normal lagi lah ... Ini semua adalah kerja si Aza & Lin lah ... yang dengan berbesar hatinya menghadiahkan Teddy Bear ni untuk aku sebagai peneman aku yang sorang-sorang kat Auckland ni. Dia orang beli kat Christchurch. Siap bagi amaran lagi supaya jaga Teddy baik-baik. Girls, no worries ... akan kujaga seperti aku menjaga diriku sendiri .
Terima Kasih sekali lagi lah Aza & Lin ya ... at least boleh jugak aku peluk bila sejuk ... he he he
dan ada masanya aku pun jadi tak betul sebab aku akan bercakap dengan si Teddy ni ha ... huh! I really need a friend : (

Dinner Oh Dinner!

Gambar atas - Caroline sedang letakkan tabouleh di atas cream cheese dan gambar kat bawah ni ialah Nick.
Since dia orang tahu aku ni dari Malaysia yg terkenal dengan masakan pedas ... maka diletakkan cili sos di atas tabouleh tu ... he he he ... barulah sedap sikit.

Kat bawah ni pulak, Ross - partner Caroline. Biasalah mat salleh kan ... duduk serumah sebelum kahwin. He is very friendly dan pernah menetap di Indonesia for a few years ... so, our conversation menjadi lebih menarik. At least, dia tahu sebut sambal, nasi padang , etc .
Main Dish - Pasta.
Lagi lah simple. Pasta dicampur dengan ayam goreng, feta cheese dan one type of sauce ( entah apa nama dia ... tak ingat ... I will check later). Beginilah rupanya ... sedap tapi tak pedas langsung. Tak boleh lah nak komen banyak2 ... orang dah jemput pun dah kira bagus. He he he At least sekarang aku dah ada dua respi baru ... senang sikit nak buat compare to sambal ikan bilis aku yang tak jadi tu.

The next day tu pulak, aku dijemput oleh Peter (my boss) untuk dinner dengan Claudia (HR Head untuk Motor Division) dan Pat McKenna(MD of Sime Darby New Zealand) ... rezeki ... jangan ditolak ... aku pun ok jer. Huh! 2 malam berturut-turut ... selalunya aku makan sorang jer.
Claudia berada di sini untuk conduct Change Management Programme for ALDP
Kita orang makan di Andiamo Restaurant ... one of the best restaurant in Ponsonby. Disebab kan restaurant tu gelap tak dapat nak ambil gambar ... aku makan Blue Nose Fish - ikan apa pun entahlah ... di masak dengan scallop - huh! memang sedap.
Tapi yang paling best ialah .. Bluff Oyster ... yang juga dikenali sebagai the pearl of the south. It's an exquisite delicacy that lives wild in the cold waters of Foveaux Strait, which separates the South Island from Stewart Island. (based on internet ler)
Huh! memang sedap ... harga dia pun sedap ... for one dozen, it costs us $50 (RM130) ... Size dia kecil sikit dan rasanya memang jauh lebih sedap dari oyster biasa. Claudia tak makan oyster ... jadi Aku, Pat & Pete dapat makan seorang empat ... siap kira lagi berapa dah makan ... he he he ... macam budak-budak.
