Interview - Interview

1) The title of this blog suggested firstly on the interviews that I had attended, notice of the use of kata ganda here. It's nothing short of crazy that it is well over 5years ago since I last attended interview.

2) I was surprisingly nervous as my friend kept reminded me that I have nothing to loose. It felt like a mid age uncle desperates for job.

3) Things are all surpringly well too. The arrangement of the interviews, friends that offered help, the timing, the traffic and even less call from Sony. To my surprise only one call recorded from Sony.

4) Perhaps it's the training from my uncle and perhaps it's the learning from MBA and perhaps it's both that had helped me on these interviews. I can critically answered, evaluate and give good response to the inquiry from interviewers. My working experience was a faithful support to me.

5) Finally it is down to searching my career growth in the sales sector or pursue financial sector. Both needed great work from then on. So climbing the corporate ladder? Or embrace the lucrative financial world.

6) What do I really want? What kind of future do I want to paint? Happy, family, job statisfaction? Work life balance? Lots and lots of money? A good relook again into this is very much needed now as I am at the cross road.

7) I kept my interviews as a secret from my parents as I wish to reduce any possible complication arise from me leaving my uncle's company which may involved my mom and dad in the picture.

8) I am truly grateful to be surrounded with very very good friends who support me giving me advices all this while. I am thinking perhaps this are the fruits that I gained from all the good seeds I sore all this while. By giving out we actually do receive more in return. Of course one can always argue that this is not always true but at least it is true for me during the time I needed it most.

9) At the age of 25 I moved to Penang, one of my biggest decision, at the age of 27 I bought my first house, at the age of 28 I talked myself over to take up postgrads studies, and I hope at the age of 30 will be a new, meaningful, purposed life from then on.

10) life is short, Life is fragile, life is unpredictable, life is life. So tell me, why do I need to be too sad or too worry over something? That's life

A Weekend to be remembered ??

1. After such a long time, finally i met up with her again in sbux. Nearly 4 months since we last met and i hope our next meeting can arrive sooner. Catching up on the events happened over the last few months, setting our sight on the near future. She will be continuing her study in KL and i hope that i can return to KL for good. It surely feels good to have her as company.
2. It must be the food poisoning that caused me fever on that friday night. Clearly, that sleepless night and food poisioning had cost my night. Depriving from sleep and rest, under some medication, i off for my first class of the semester. First class is always torturing, attention level was low, momentum was low too. With the combination of lacking proper rest the night before, yes, it was all torturing.
3. Nevertheless, the feel good feeling from yesterday meeting fuel me up. The news i am about to tell here is also a huge morale boost for me. I was given the second highest score (78/100) for Business Research Methods by Dr. Janaka. It is a very good recognition and a well received morale support for me. I worked really hard to finish this proposal, reading more than 70-80 journals, refining my thoughts and ideas on the proposal and with good effort i had completed it. Really a good morale boost for me.
4. Received email from Marketing Management lecturer on the assignments. It is very challenging and i like this challenge. Providing marketing strategy for Sony phone. I hope i can score this as well.
5. With hope and expectations, life become more meaningful, although sometime it works the other way round. For this part, i hope for a much better future.

4th Anniversary in Penang= # merdeka #Langkawi+Penang # Oldfriends

1. In conjunction with my 4th anniversary in Penang, i had organized a trip with my old secondary school friends to Langkawi+Penang. Nearly 10 years ago we had a trip to Genting and now we are heading to Langkawi.
2. The most important things about this trip is the valuable time spend that we spent together. It's been so long since we last eat, play and joke together. We shared about our work, current life, the future in sight and also the problem we faced. 
3. We make jokes out of each other with no hard feelings, and obviously i am the one who started it most of the time, well, it is hard to get this bunch of old friends where we speak our heart out with no hesitation.
4. I managed to catch up with them again during my trip back to KL this time. We had supper in Asia Cafe and play the old school computer game together. Good time spent... recalling those halcyon days in the past.
5. I do hope this can be maintain and carry on for sometime to come.

Fourth Years Anniversary

1) I realized some of the most memorable day in my life happened during the festive seasons. Let see, i could recalled, I got my house key during Valentine's day, and I moved in to my new house during the labour day.

2) My first ever confession was on Valentines's day in year 2009, haha and my second confession to another girl was two days before the Malaysia Independence Day. 

3) I moved to Penang on the eve of Merdeka in year 2010 and started to work immediately the day after this historical day. It's been such a long time, a journey of 4 years in Penang.

4) I would say I had adapted quite well, embracing the way of life of fellow Penangites, simple, friendly and very good hospitality are some the important values they had incorporated in their life. They valued the relationship between one and another, appreciate the common good for everyone and they always wanted a better Malaysia. By saying all this, I am not referring that people originated from other statespossess any inferior aspects in their way of life. The purpose of explaining the way how Penangites live is one of the way for me to appreciate the incidents, things and people that had bumped into my life over the 4 years period.

5) As much as I like Perak (place that I was borned), Johor (place that I grown up), Selangor &KL (place where I spent in my teenage years), Sabah (place that I traveled quite frequent in my second job), and Penang (place I spend my young adulthood), Penang could be one of my favorite for the people, culture, food, historical places and the life style. ( duration of time spent In each states from Perak 6 years, Johor 5 years, Selangor and KL14years, Sabah 2 months, Penang 4years and still counting).

6) So with the calculation above, clearly the add up of all the years are my age now. I had learned to grow, and control my own life except the part on my weight. haha.

7) The self discovery process had never stopped since the Basic Training from AsiaWorks 6 years ago. I learned about my ever changing needs and wants, and also the basic meaning of happiness for me. I have learned to appreciate the little happiness in my life, the people, things and event happened around me. I appreciated many more things that had happened been good or bad as I know it is all part of my life. I understand that life is always filled with surprises in both positive and negative ways, and knew that I can only adjust myself to the environment but not the other way round. I embrace the challenges and difficulties and at the same time enjoy the fruit of success from all the hard work and labour. I have anxiety towards my future but at the same time I worked hard as much as I could and pray for blessing from god. I have come far enough but it is only a small few steps in my life.

8) My sight is set for a better future and greater heights for personal growth as well as my relationship with my family and future life partner who is still unknown till date.

9) I enjoyed mylife now and I am excited for the future that I might embark into. Thank you to my family members and my friends, and people from all walks of my life who encourages me, giving me a lift, inspiring me and gave me a chance to whatever privilege I am enjoying now. 

10) Above is part of my keynote message to my 4th Anniversary in Penang. Following post will be on the trip with my old friends to Langkawi and Penang during the holiday.
